Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt

Since Liu Dongxue and Liu Jingwen are both in their third year of high school and will take the college entrance examination next summer, they dare not play too much during this autumn break and must focus on studying.

Liu Xia Lian ate two Wo Wo balls, picked up the trap and went to the river, the same place as yesterday. She used earthworms as bait, put down five traps, and then searched around with a slingshot.

The pheasants suffered a great loss yesterday and left here as if they had colluded with each other. Liu Xia Lian had no choice but to look for them in the pine forest. Sure enough, she found two flying dragon birds after a while.

As the saying goes, there is dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat on the ground.

Dragon meat refers to the flying dragon. This bird is much smaller than the ordinary pheasant, weighing only about 60 to 70 grams, and makes a low, cooing sound.

Without even thinking, Liu Xia Lian shot the man with her slingshot, hitting him right on the forehead and killing him instantly.

The female flying dragon was frightened when she saw it, so she jumped up and flew away, flying dozens of meters away, and landed in front of the grass nest. Just as she was about to drill into the grass nest, the bullet came and hit her in the head again.

With two flying dragons in our pocket, today's harvest is considered a sure thing. Flying dragon meat is considered top quality game.

After walking for a long time, we saw a big pheasant in the bushes in front of us. It looked a little dazed and was hit on the head by a bullet and passed out.

Because she was worried that the trap would be stolen, Liu Xia Lian didn't dare to go far and came back after walking around.

I took a bucket and started collecting fish, just like opening a blind box. In the first cage, there were two small catfish weighing about half a pound and three crucian carps. In the second one, there were two eels and a carp. Five ground cages collected almost 20 fish, a total of about ten pounds.

"Second sister, second sister, come home for dinner." Liu Dongxue came over.

"Okay, wait a minute, let me put down the ground cage."

This time, Liu Xia Lian put all five earth dragons towards the reeds. There were more crucian carps near the grass, so maybe there would be a good harvest.

"Oh my god, how can there be so many fish? We can have fish soup and fish meat tonight. My eldest sister ate it all yesterday."

When Liu Xia Lian was about to go back, she suddenly discovered that there was a red light in the mud next to the reeds, and it looked like a turtle.

After careful observation, I found that there were pores on the ground. I reached my hands into the mud and held the turtle's sides. A large turtle weighing more than three pounds struggled out.

"Oh, I'm rich, I'm rich, a big turtle, haha."

This is really rare. It's already cold at the foot of Changbai Mountain this season, but I didn't expect that we could still catch soft-shelled turtles.

Liu Dongxue carefully brought the wooden barrel over, but the turtle actually completely covered the barrel, so she had no choice but to put it in upside down.

In order to prevent the turtle from biting people, Liu Xia Lian stretched out her hand and ordered: "Old Third, take off your coat and cover the turtle."

"Why is it mine?"

"Because I'm planning to buy you a new coat."

Liu Dongxue was overjoyed and smiled widely: "Second sister is the best."

The two of them quickly returned home with the wooden barrel wrapped in their patched coats. When they got home, they put the fish into a large wooden tub used for washing clothes.

My mother was the first to see it. She was shocked: "More than a dozen crucian carps, carps, catfish, and a big turtle. How can we eat all of them?"

"If you can't finish it, eat it slowly. Save it for big sister to make soup. This turtle is very nutritious."

The eldest sister came out of the kitchen and looked into the big basin: "Oh my God, how come my second sister is so good at catching fish? Why didn't I know this before?"

The four brothers quarreled for a while, and finally their mother took charge.

"Stop arguing. Thanks to the second child, we can continue to improve our lives tonight. We will stew a pheasant and two crucian carps tonight, and sell the rest to supplement the family income. You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are because you don't run the household. The eldest child will cook at home at noon, the third and fourth children will continue to study, and the second child and I will go to the market later."

In 79, the spring breeze of reform was already strong in the south, but in the northeast, people were still very worried. For example, many people still did not dare to raise more chickens or geese at home because they were afraid of being punished, and they did not dare to do business because it was speculation.

However, fishing and hunting are encouraged. There is no animal protection law these days. In another ten years or so, we will have to start protecting animals.

The town is quite far from the village, about 20 miles away. My mother and I set out at around 9 o'clock and it was already 12 o'clock when we arrived at the town. There was a market today, and there were dozens or even hundreds of stalls on the street, with people coming and going. There were almost no professional vendors, and all the products were sold by farmers.

My mother was extremely nervous. It was her first time selling something and she had no idea what to do.

Liu Xia Lian was as steady as an old dog. She spread out the stall skillfully, took a stool and sat there, and divided the fish into piles.

Before I was done, a woman came and asked, "How are these two small catfish?"

"One dollar and twenty cents for one, and two dollars for two."

The woman didn't bargain. She took out a two-dollar bill to pay and left with the fish.

Mother was so excited that she didn't know what to do: "This, this, this is it? Is selling things so simple?"

"What do you think? Selling things is not like falling in love, and there is no tug-of-war."

It was easy to handle the business if the business opened successfully. Soon after, a restaurant owner came and bought two flying dragons at the price of six yuan each.

A young man next to her reminded her, "Girl, you're selling it too cheaply. When you kill a flying dragon, go to the morning market in the forest farm and sell it. The stalls there start at six in the morning and close around ten, so you have to go early."

"Thank you very much."

As he was speaking, a white-haired old man came in. He was dressed neatly and wore big glasses. It was obvious that he was not an ordinary farmer.

"Girl, how much is this turtle?"

Liu Xia Lian inquired about the price of the soft-shelled turtle and was told it was twenty-one kilograms, but this was a three-kilogram soft-shelled turtle that would take more than ten years to grow fully.

"Uncle, you can give it to me as you see fit. We found this while cleaning the rice fields."

"Good stuff, I can't lose my conscience, 80 percent?"

"I'm going to sell it for 100. If you're sincere, I'll take 80." Liu Xia Lian packed it up for the old man quickly.

After getting eight ten-yuan bills, my mother counted them excitedly and found that there were still four crucian carps weighing about half a pound left.

"Let's take it back and eat. I have to buy some food today and can't wait any longer." Liu Xia Lian suggested.

The mother and daughter counted the money and found that they had sold 106 yuan in total, with 50 cents for the stall and 20 cents for tea, leaving 1035.3 yuan. The mother was about to put the money in her pocket, but Liu Xialian quickly stopped her: "Mom, how about I be the head of our family in the future? I will give you a portion of the money from each sale, and I will use the rest for development. Now that the college entrance examination has been resumed and reform and opening up have begun, our family must also speed up its pace of development."

"Who knows about national affairs? Who knows when he will go back? Haven't you seen that the villagers dare not raise more than three chickens?"

"Have you seen my eldest sister? Our family is extremely poor. Because she ate a chicken and a few eggs during her confinement, she was scolded by her mother-in-law. She almost jumped off a cliff with her child. So this must change. If it doesn't, we will die of poverty. I'll give you twenty dollars today. You save it. I'll take care of the rest."
