Zhou Ziwen quickly solved his lunch problem by simply heating up the leftovers at home.
After dinner, he set off on his journey with great joy.
His dog Tayun is so smart, he will definitely be able to find food.
In fact, there is a better way. This guy caught a vole in the morning. If he found a vole hole in the ground, there would be more things inside.
Voles have the habit of collecting food, and as long as you find their holes, you will usually get a harvest.
Grains such as peanuts, soybeans, and wheat are the favorite foods that voles collect.
However, Zhou Ziwen has a psychological mysophobia and is unwilling to dig vole holes.
However, people in the village have the habit of digging vole holes, and even catching voles can provide a meal for the family.
There is a food shortage everywhere these days. As long as you can fill your stomach, you don’t care whether it’s uncomfortable or not.
After the autumn harvest every year, villagers come to the fields whenever they have time, either to look for what is left after the harvest or to look for vole holes.
People are even more interested in finding vole holes. As long as they find a vole hole, they can eat meat and harvest food at the same time, which is killing two birds with one stone.
"Brother Zhou, are you here to dig vole holes too?"
As soon as he arrived at the field, Zhou Ziwen saw a group of children searching around in the field.
Seeing Zhou Ziwen, Erzhuzi asked happily.
"Yes, I came to take a look too." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
"Brother Zhou, you've never dug a vole hole, right? Let me tell you the trick..."
Erzhuzi enthusiastically taught him the techniques of finding vole holes.
After the autumn harvest, the crops were brought back and the fields became empty. The field mouse holes that were originally hidden were no longer covered.
Generally speaking, as long as you are careful, you can find traces of vole holes.
Because of their frequent activity, the outside of a vole hole will be very smooth. As soon as you see this, you will know that it is definitely a vole hole.
After listening for a while, Zhou Ziwen found that these children knew quite a lot. They were all experts in tasks like digging vole holes.
"Did you dig anything?" Zhou Ziwen asked curiously.
"I dug up a lot. Yesterday I dug more than 50 kilograms of grain by myself." Erzhuzi raised his head with a proud look on his face.
"That's amazing." Zhou Ziwen patted his shoulder with admiration.
"Brother Zhou, do you want to come with us? I'll teach you how to find the hole."
Erzhuzi became even more excited after receiving the praise.
"No need, I'm training Tayun to help me find food." Zhou Ziwen looked at the dog playing happily in the field.
"Ah?" Erzhuzi was stunned when he heard that, then his eyes lit up, "Brother Zhou, can your dog catch voles?"
"Yes, we just caught one this morning." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
"This is too amazing!" Erzhuzi looked envious.
As the saying goes, a dog catching mice is meddling in other people's business, but a dog that can catch mice is definitely a good dog.
After saying goodbye to Erzhuzi, Zhou Ziwen called Tayun to his side and trained it to find sweet potatoes from the ground.
With his dog training skill reaching level two, Zhou Ziwen can use his own methods to make the dog understand his requirements.
Zhou Ziwen found half a piece of sweet potato in the field and brought it in front of Tayun so that it could remember the taste of the sweet potato.
Then he gave it some special training to wake it up. After a while, Tayun finally understood his master's strange request.
Looking at Tayun sniffing excitedly in the ground and digging with his claws from time to time, Zhou Ziwen felt full of a sense of accomplishment.
Under his training, this little guy finally learned how to support his family.
"Tayun, is there something here?" Seeing Taoyun digging hard in one place, Zhou Ziwen hurried over.
“Woo woo!”
Tayun made a flattering sound.
"Let me do it." Zhou Ziwen picked up the shovel and dug twice along the place where Tayun was digging the soil.
Soon, he turned out a sweet potato weighing only about one or two taels.
"Haha, Tayun, good job. Keep looking and find more." Zhou Ziwen rubbed Tayun's dog head to show encouragement.
Encouraged, Tayun happily sniffed the ground and dug here and there with his two paws.
It has understood what its master means, and in order to get its master's praise, it steps on the clouds to find food to feed its family.
After finding the first sweet potato, Taoyun seemed to have gained experience and he reaped rewards one after another.
In the following time, Zhou Ziwen and Ta Yun strolled around the sweet potato field together. From time to time, he would find a sweet potato at Ta Yun's suggestion, and soon filled half a basket.
"Well, it seems that the sweet potato field is still very promising. I can hang out here more in the next few days and get a few hundred kilograms first."
Although there are not many sweet potatoes that slip through the net in the sweet potato field, there are still quite a few. After all, this thing grows in the ground. Although it was dug twice during the autumn harvest, and the villagers also came to dig many times later, everyone did not have a detector, so it was impossible to dig up all the sweet potatoes.
With the help of his cloud-walking dog nose, Zhou Ziwen is much more efficient than them.
The villagers come out mostly to look for vole holes. As long as they find a vole hole, the harvest inside will definitely be satisfactory.
Zhou Ziwen looked down on the food in the vole holes and concentrated on digging sweet potatoes in the fields.
He planned to search the sweet potato fields in the village first, then the yams fields, and finally the potato fields. Anyway, any food buried in the ground was his target.
The afternoon passed quickly, and when it was almost time to get off work, Zhou Ziwen's backpack was already full of sweet potatoes.
Sweet potatoes have a very long storage period. If stored in a cellar, they can be stored for five to six months.
The food Zhou Ziwen carried in this basket today can last him at least two months.
This is only half a day. If they can harvest so much in the next few days, their family will never be short of sweet potatoes.
And all this is thanks to Ta Yun. In order to find these harvests, Ta Yun's claws are covered with mud, his hair is dirty, and even his mouth and nose are covered with mud.
"Haha, Tayun, let's go home and I'll give you a bath later." Zhou Ziwen laughed and invited today's hero to go home.
In order to reward the little guy, Zhou Ziwen decided to treat it with some freshly made dried fish.
Although dried fish is a favorite food for cats, dogs also like it.
Zhou Ziwen always caught some small fish when fishing, the small ones were one finger long, and the big ones were two fingers long.
Zhou Ziwen was too lazy to eat such a small fish.
But after all, he caught the fish himself and couldn't waste them, so he gutted all the small fish, rubbed salt on them, and dried them into dried fish.
This thing is very crispy after being dried, and it tastes great as a snack.
After returning home, Zhou Ziwen put the sweet potatoes in the basket into the cellar, picked out the damaged ones, and prepared to eat them first.
Damaged sweet potatoes are easy to spoil and need to be processed in advance.
When he finished picking the sweet potatoes and came out of the cellar, the Chen sisters had already returned from work.
Seeing Zhou Ziwen's gate open, the two sisters didn't go home, but instead visited him first. (End of this chapter)
