"It's also good luck. Matsutake mushrooms usually grow in groups, and we happened to find quite a few in this place. Hurry up, let's finish digging this area and try another place." Qin Zijin didn't know how to explain for a moment, so he just said it casually.
Fortunately, Miao Cuicui didn't ask too many questions and came over to help dig for a while. Qin Zijin also shared some with them.
It will take quite a while to wait for any movement on the trap side.
Several people dug around and had good luck. Miao Cuicui and Zhao Daniu, thanks to the Tang ginseng, also found a lot of wood ear mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms, as well as a few matsutake mushrooms.
Seeing that it was almost time to go back and prepare lunch, the few of them packed up and went to check the situation over there at the trap.
"There's some movement, it seems like a big guy is coming in." Tang Can just walked over and immediately raised his hand to block the people behind him.
Qin Zijin leaned over to take a look with curiosity, but couldn't see anything. He couldn't help but ask Tang Shen curiously, "What is that big thing?"
"It's hard to say, probably about thirty or forty kilograms of stuff. Stay away and be careful not to get hurt. I'll go take a look." Tang Shen instructed Qin Zijin and slowly approached the trap.
This trap is the largest. It was a trench left over from a war. Tang Shen made some use of it and installed wooden spikes underneath. Now the dead branches blocking the trap have been broken, and the situation inside the hole can be seen at a glance.
Tang Shen approached cautiously, took a look, and his face suddenly filled with joy. "It's a roe deer. It probably came down from the mountains to look for food and fell into the trap. I'll get it out first."
A roe deer was lying in the trap, dead. It looked like it had been there for some time.
Tang Shen went down the edge of the trap and threw the roe deer onto it.
Qin Zijin and Miao Cuicui then moved closer.
This roe deer is not big, and looks to weigh only about 30 kilograms.
Tang Can quickly followed up. They also caught things in several other traps, but they were all pheasants and rabbits. Tang Can and Zhao Daniu went down to catch them together. After catching them, they counted them and found five rabbits and seven pheasants.
"Tang Shen is so lucky." Zhao Daniu couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the prey on the ground.
Qin Zijin also looked at Tang Shen.
This visual sense of being the child of destiny surprised her.
After all, she, who traveled through time and space, didn't have such good luck.
"It's all luck. I guess it's because no one has hunted in the mountains for too long, so these prey have let down their guard. It will be difficult in a few days." Tang Shen scratched his head and smiled naively.
Qin Zijin looked at the hares and pheasants, thinking about how to distribute them.
"Sister-in-law, this prey..." Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Miao Cuicui.
"Our Da Niu is still learning from Tang Shen. In the past, a master and his apprentice had to pay tuition. Tang Shen doesn't charge us tuition, and we can't take the prey. When Da Niu becomes a master and can set traps by himself, we will divide the prey with him." Miao Cuicui looked at Qin Zijin with a smile.
Qin Zijin's face was full of helplessness: "Sister-in-law, this..."
"Aren't you going to ask us to take the prey out to sell? We can make some money going back and forth. Besides, if we introduce big business to Chef Chen, he will also give us some appreciation. So don't be polite with me. Your family is not having an easy time. We still need to see if Tang Shen's leg can be cured. And as for the house, it's spring now, so it's better to find someone to renovate it, otherwise it will be difficult to live in." Seeing Qin Zijin was about to speak, Miao Cuicui interrupted her with a smile.
Qin Zijin sighed: "Okay, sister-in-law, then I won't be polite with you. Brother Daniu will take this prey out to sell, and I will give you ten yuan each time. If you don't accept this money, I won't ask you to help sell things."
"No, that won't work. It's too high. You might have to sell it every day, or every two or three days. How much can you earn in a month working outside? How can we ask you for so much money?" Miao Cuicui simply refused.
Seeing that Qin Zijin wanted to speak, she quickly said, "If you really want to pay, then pay it monthly, forty yuan a month will be fine."
"Fifty." Qin Zijin bargained with Miao Cuicui.
The person involved stood aside, just watching with a smile, without any opinion at all.
For Zhao Daniu, just by delivering some things to the town and selling them, he could earn forty or fifty yuan a month, which was already a lot.
After all, farming at home doesn’t make much money in a month.
In the end, Miao Cuicui couldn't persuade Qin Zijin, so she had to agree to let Zhao Daniu help sell things at the price of fifty yuan a month.
The roe deer was already dead, and it would not be as fresh if it was sold the next day, so after going back to have lunch, Zhao Daniu drove the car and took the game he had just caught out to sell.
"I guess other people in the village will follow us into the mountains soon. With more competitors, we will earn less money. Let's go into the mountains again in the afternoon." Qin Zijin thought about the looks of several people in the village when Zhao Daniu left the village just now, and guessed that by early tomorrow morning at the latest, more and more people in the village would go into the mountains.
After all, it would be a lie to say that you are not jealous when you see others making money.
Especially the life of Tang Can's family. They used to be at the bottom of the village, but now everyone sees that their lives are getting better. These days, they have meat for every meal and also eat fragrant white rice.
After a nap, Qin Zijin and Tang Can called Miao Cuicui to go into the mountains together.
When they got to the mountains, they realized that they had underestimated the villagers' desire for money, because they simply had lunch and went straight up the mountain without even taking a nap.
There are more people in the mountains, and even the place where Tang Shen originally set the trap has been occupied by others, who have made simple traps.
"Tang Can, you guys are coming to the mountains too? Haha." Seeing Tang Can and Qin Zijin coming over, the few people who had gone up the mountain in advance to reserve seats didn't feel embarrassed at all, and greeted them with a smile.
Tang Shen just responded lightly and changed seats with Qin Zijin and Miao Cuicui.
"What are you so proud of? It's just that you can catch a few rabbits. I took the trap he dug before, and I don't believe I can't catch them." Zhao Fugui looked at Tang Shen's back as he left, and couldn't help cursing. Then he found a place to squat down, lit a cigarette, and started smoking.
Tang Shen was very familiar with this mountain. He grew up in the mountains and knew exactly where there were more prey and mountain products.
The reason why he didn't take Qin Zijin to other places before was because he was afraid that it would be dangerous if he went deeper into the mountains, and he didn't want Qin Zijin to fall into danger.
As for now, since the original position has been taken, I can only change it.
"Let's stay here. There are a lot of good things here." Tang Can looked around, picked a good position, and spoke to Qin Zijin with a smile.
Qin Zijin nodded and looked around. The location here was good. He could see the village at the foot of the mountain at a glance. And he didn't know if it was an illusion, but in this location, he always felt refreshed. All the fatigue from not getting enough rest in the past few days was swept away.
This place is definitely a treasure!
