My second uncle wasn't much better, with an untidy beard and tattered clothes with lint showing in several places, but he was in good spirits.
"Dad, Uncle, you guys are back. Did you catch any prey?"
A group of little kids gathered at the door, all looking at the snakeskin bag on the ground.
I want to know what's inside, my eyes are full of anticipation.
"Come in and talk first!" Qin Jiandang smiled and took the bag in without telling them directly.
At the gate, Old Man Qin saw the second and eldest sons each carrying a bag, followed by a group of grandchildren.
I couldn't help but ask curiously: "Boss, what did you mention?"
No one was thinking about the prey!
In the hall, the eldest and the second oldest didn't say anything. They simply and roughly opened the sack and poured out everything inside.
Seeing so many prey on the ground, the children jumped up excitedly.
"It's rabbits and pheasants!"
"Dad, uncle, you guys are so awesome!"
…………
At this moment, the two became heroes in the family.
They never imagined that this trip would bring such great gains.
Now they can not only eat meat, but also eat it to their satisfaction.
Thinking of this, the children's drools began to flow.
Old Mrs. Qin's wrinkled face rarely showed a smile: "Not bad, not bad, our family can have a good New Year this year!"
"Old man, go and boil some water. Let's get rid of these rabbits and pheasants."
"Grandma, can we have meat tonight?" Qin asked expectantly.
Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, Old Lady Qin said with a heroic look: "Eat, let's be extravagant today and roast two chickens and a wild rabbit.
The remaining half will be sold in town, and the other half will be kept for New Year's Eve dinner!"
She has never been stingy when it comes to food, but sometimes her family is poor and she has to be frugal.
We have gained so much this time, it’s time to improve the food.
"Oh yeah, we can have meat for lunch!"
Looking at the excited children, Qin Jianguo said with a smile: "In addition to pheasants and rabbits, there are also pork and mutton!"
"Did they kill wild boars and sheep?" Zhao Yan was a little surprised.
Qin Jianguo nodded: "Yes, the wild boar was killed by the party, and the wild goat was killed by me."
These words once again stirred up a thousand waves in everyone's hearts.
Who can tell them what's going on?
How did two brothers who could miss the target 99 times out of 100 bullets become so powerful?
"Dad, your shooting skills are so great, can you join Fourth Uncle's army?" Qin Man asked excitedly.
He remembered that his uncle was in the sharpshooter unit. Every time he came back to hunt in the mountains, he would catch a lot of prey. Unfortunately, he had not returned for three years.
Qin Jiandang felt a little guilty: "Your uncle is a master of guns, and my two brushes are not enough for him."
Although everyone was a little curious about how the two of them suddenly caught so many prey, they were more excited.
After Old Man Qin boiled the water, he began to process the rabbits and pheasants.
Qin Jiandang, who took a hot bath, discovered a problem.
It seemed that one of the hare and pheasant was missing, but when they came back, the bag was not broken!
Could it be that I counted wrong?
Even Qin Jianguo found it strange. Could these pheasants and rabbits disappear out of thin air?
In the end, we can only guess that they calculated wrong.
The two of them didn't think too much about it and took a group of children to the village chief's house to watch the slaughter of pigs and sheep.
Zhang Xiumei and her three sisters-in-law were responsible for plucking the pheasants, while Qin Jianjun and Old Man Qin handled the fur of the wild rabbits.
Old Lady Qin cut open their stomachs and processed their internal organs.
Everyone was busy and having fun, and Qin Han was not idle either.
When his uncles were standing in the yard, he had already put pheasants and rabbits from their bags into the space.
The hare was a female, pregnant with four cubs. Fortunately, the bullet only hit its hind legs, otherwise the little rabbits in its belly would have died long ago.
Looking at the dying hare, Qin Han fed it some spiritual water and took out the bullet.
The rabbit recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Although the wound is still there, he can eat now and is eating potato sprouts quickly.
He also used the same method to cure a pheasant, and within a few days, it was able to lay eggs again.
Moreover, this is a fertilized hen. When the eggs are hatched into chicks, there will be no problem eating meat in the future, Qin Han thought happily.
It took Captain Liu's family three full hours to deal with the wild boars and wild sheep.
The processed wild boars and wild sheep had a net weight of 288 kilograms, and the three wild goats weighed a total of 216 kilograms.
As the heroes who captured them, the two brothers Qin Jiandang were given a total of 20 kilograms of pork and 13 kilograms of mutton.
The rest, after deducting the reward for helping to kill the pig and half a pound of meat per family who were unable to participate in hunting due to lack of labor, was divided equally among everyone.
The population of Zaojiazhuang is not large, with only about forty households in total.
In total, every household was able to get several kilograms of meat, and everyone ate meat that night.
But there are some things I can’t bear to eat and plan to save for the New Year.
But if we talk about richness, it has to be the Qin family.
In the evening, Old Lady Qin was the chef and she stewed a pheasant in soup. She only added some simple seasonings, but the soup still tasted delicious.
Then the pheasant and hare were braised separately, potato cubes were added, and finally a large head of cabbage was fried.
As for the pork and mutton, Old Lady Qin had put them away. There were already enough meat dishes to cook today.
The amount of meat in this one meal alone was more than what they had eaten four or five times before combined.
