"Wow, piggy, brother, where did the piggy come from!"
When the little girl saw Chen Wang coming back with a pig, she was so happy that she danced with joy.
"Brother Feng lost our gun. This is compensation to us. From now on, it will be our pig."
Chen Wang said with a smile.
The little girl's eyes lit up and she clapped her hands with joy.
"That's great, that's great, we have a pig again, and we can have plenty of meat to eat during the New Year."
"Come on, let's put the pigs in the pigsty. You'll have to help feed them from now on!"
Chen Wang instructed with a smile.
Most children born in the 1970s and 1980s experienced a childhood of cutting grass for pigs after school.
The main labor force in the family is responsible for production, while tasks such as cutting grass and feeding pigs are left to the elderly and children.
Chen Wang was born after 1995 in his previous life, and he had heard these things from his parents’ generation.
"No problem, leave it to me. I promise to feed the pigs until they are fat and plump."
The little girl patted her chest with a smile and accepted the task.
After putting the pigs in the pigsty, the brother and sister went together to cut some grass for the pigs.
Chen Wang was somewhat embarrassed because he himself didn't know which grass could be used to feed pigs, but the little girl knew it very well.
In the past, the little girl helped Lin Xiuqin in feeding the pigs, but this year, he roasted and ate the pigs after only a few days of feeding.
Now it seems that the little girl only said that her sister-in-law was crying, but she herself was probably crying very sadly too.
"Grow up quickly, little pig. I want to eat some meat..."
The little girl looked at the pigs eating happily inside and hummed a little tune with a bright smile.
Chen Wang felt both amused and distressed.
In the year 2025 when he traveled through, except for the children from ordinary families in remote mountainous areas, who would be so short of meat to eat!
Not only do they have to eat a few meat and vegetable dishes and soups every day, but parents also have to chase their children with bowls to feed them.
Suddenly, Chen Wang thought of the bamboo forest he passed by when he just went to his uncle's house.
In his previous life, when he was watching short videos, he saw a video of his cousin from Annan hunting wild bamboo rats.
Bamboo rats have clean eating habits, their meat is delicate and lean, delicious and nutritious, and is a top-quality game.
He watched the video several times and was deeply impressed. He also remembered the techniques of catching bamboo rats, which seemed not difficult.
"Xiaoyu, do you want to eat meat? Very delicious meat."
Chen Wang asked with a chuckle.
The little girl looked up at him with shining eyes and nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
"Then stay at home and I'll get it for you."
"Brother, you're not going into the mountains, are you?"
The little girl's eyes became alert.
"No, I'm going to catch some bamboo shoots. They're over there in the bamboo forest."
"Bamboo slipper?"
"Yes, that meat is better than pork. I'll dig some bamboo shoots, cut some potatoes and mushrooms, and stew them in a casserole. The taste is..."
“Slurp—”
Although the little girl had never eaten it, she was almost crying with greed after listening to his description.
"Brother, go quickly, I will take good care of the house."
"Then I'll go!"
"Yeah, come on, brother, catch more!"
…
…
With the encouragement of his sister, Chen Wang took his tools and came to the bamboo forest in a happy mood.
Like many animals, bamboo rats store enough food before winter comes and then hibernate in caves.
It is only a few days since the beginning of winter, and it is a busy time for bamboo rats.
However, bamboo rats are more active at night and usually hide in holes during the day, eating less and sleeping more.
Chen Wang searched for a long time and finally found a piece of soft soil under a stone.
According to what was said in the video, there is most likely a bamboo rat hole under the soil.
I squatted down and looked through the soft soil, and soon I saw a hole.
A cunning rabbit has three burrows, and the bamboo rat's burrows usually have hidden entrances, so it takes some effort to catch the bamboo rat.
Chen Wang first found a suitable branch and cut it down to make a branch like a slingshot, sharpened the top, and then turned it upside down and inserted it from above the hole to fix the hole.
Then he found a wooden stick and dug a small hole above the cave entrance.
Then he used the rope he brought to make a tripod, installed the trigger device at the entrance of the hole, and passed the rope loop through the small hole above.
Now a simple trigger trap is complete.
As long as the bamboo rat inside touches the trigger device, the noose will shrink and strangle its neck.
Chen Wang took the wooden stick and tried to touch the trigger device.
With a bang, the bamboo with the noose hanging on it was bent above the hole and bounced up, and the trap was successfully triggered.
After restoring the trap to its original state, Chen Wang patted the dirt off his hands and smiled with satisfaction.
Fortunately, he remembered the video very clearly and his hands-on ability was also pretty good.
Chen Wang didn't just sit there and wait. He found two more bamboo rat holes and set up the same trap.
Just as he was about to continue searching, he heard the sound of a bamboo bouncing, followed by a squeaking sound like a mouse.
“Hit!”
Chen Wang was overjoyed and hurried to the first trap to check.
Sure enough, I saw a bamboo rat with its head tied up with a noose. It was struggling desperately, baring its two pairs of sharp yellow teeth and barking, looking quite ferocious.
Don't underestimate this thing. If you are bitten by this big yellow tooth, you will suffer a lot.
He picked up the shovel he brought and dug twice under the hole, and soon got the bamboo rat out.
Wow, it’s eaten so much that it’s round and plump, like a little piglet.
Chen Wang grabbed the rope and lifted it up to feel it, guessing it might weigh about four or five kilograms.
