"Brother Xiaobei, you are so awesome. Make me a net too."
Chen Xiaobei smiled and scolded, "When you see me fishing, you want a fishing net. When you see me catching pheasants, you have to follow my example and do it first, and then we'll talk about it."
While laughing and scolding Chen Xiaobei, he put away the rice on the ground.
Then he tied up the five pheasants with ropes and said, "Let's go to another place and catch a few more pheasants before going back."
After re-selecting this place, Chen Xiaobei walked out first with the pheasant, which was twenty or thirty feet away. Find a secluded place and tie these five pheasants to a tree. If the pheasants are hung upside down in the tree, they will panic for a short time and flutter, but they will soon calm down. Even quieter than when sleeping at night, not making a sound.
Seeing the pheasant calm down, Chen Xiaowen said with admiration, "Brother, you are so awesome. You just shut up as soon as the pheasant hung up."
Chen Xiaobei followed the same example and spread the rice again, set up the net, and hid in the tree.
This time the wait was longer, but more pheasants came over. There were more than a dozen pheasants in this group.
It seems that this group of pheasants is more shrewd. First one pheasant went in to test it, and after pecking at the rice, it quickly ran out.
Seeing that there was nothing unusual, he went back to take a few more bites and ran out.
After testing it several times and seeing that there was nothing unusual, two more pheasants fell from the tree.
The three pheasants entered under the net and were not in a hurry to eat. Instead, they circled around the meter and strolled around, one, two, seven or eight times. After eating a few more bites, the three pheasants , walked out leisurely.
Chen Xiaobei secretly sighed that these pheasants are really different from each other. Some are dumber and some are smarter. For example, the group in front of him is obviously smarter than the five just now.
Three pheasants came out and saw that there was nothing unusual, so they flew directly to the treetops.
Then another pheasant came down. He got into the net, took two bites and came out, then returned and took two more bites, repeating the scene just now.
There was still nothing unusual. This time, four or five pheasants came down from the trees and entered the net.
These pheasants got into the net and took a few bites, then raised their heads and looked around.
After eating more than a dozen bites, I was convinced that there was nothing unusual, and then the pheasants on the tree swarmed down, and all the dozen pheasants got under the net.
The opportunity must not be missed, and time will never come again. The moment they entered, Chen Xiaobei immediately pulled the rope.
More than a dozen pheasants were wiped out again.
Chen Xiaobei and Chen Xiaowen spent a lot of effort to tie up the pheasants.
In just over an hour, seventeen pheasants were caught, which was very efficient.
Chen Xiaobei took apart the net, re-netted it with a stick, pulled out a stick and dressed all the pheasants, and carried it with Chen Xiaowen. The two went down the mountain happily. Chen Xiaobei said to Chen Xiaowen as they walked , "Two of these pheasants belong to you, but you must not eat the meat. You must keep them to lay eggs."
"No matter what happens, you can still sell some money back to the county seat."
The village protection team members were all envious when they saw that Chen Xiaobei had caught so many pheasants in such a short period of time.
Cui Hongyu was even more surprised. He obviously had no idea what kind of magic the man in front of him could do and how he could accomplish whatever he wanted.
But what follows is the trouble of happiness. It’s impossible to keep so many pheasants in the yard when it’s full.
Chen Xiaobei acted very calmly.
He grabbed the hatchet and ran towards the woods to the west of the village.
Chen Xiaobei wants to make a cage and put the pheasants in the cage to raise them.
Keeping them on a rope takes up too much space, and it is definitely not possible to keep them free-range. They will all run away in less than half a day, so keeping them in cages is the safest.
Chen Xiaobei selected branches that were only as thick as his fingers and cut each section to about a foot long.
In this way, you can make a square cage and ensure that the pheasants have a certain amount of space to move around.
It was already dark by the time Chen Xiaobei came back from cutting the branches.
There is an alluring aroma floating in the yard. Needless to say, it must be fish stew again.
Since we got the fishing net, we don’t have to worry about eating fish at home.
Chen Qiaoer was very excited when she saw Chen Xiaobei coming back. She took his arm and said, "Brother, brother, sister-in-law will stew fish for dinner tonight."
Xiaobei put down the branch, picked up Chen Qiaoer, and raised it above his head, "Then do you want to eat it?"
Chen Qiaoer giggled, "I want to eat it, of course Qiaoer wants to eat it."
Upon seeing this, Cui Hongyu hurriedly shouted, "Qiaoer, come down quickly. Your brother has been tired for a day. Let him rest quickly."
Chen Xiaobei glanced at Cui Hongyu. This tender look made Cui Hongyu blush and lower his head.
Yes, it was just something she subconsciously felt. This man has now become an indispensable part of her life.
Chen Xiaobei gently put Chen Qiaoer down, "Okay Qiaoer, go and play by yourself."
Qiaoer took Chen Xiaobei's hand and said, "Brother, brother, look at how many big fish they sent today."
As Chen Qiaoer came to the fish tank, he took a look, right? There were several fish in the tank that were over a foot long.
The largest one is even close to two feet.
Darling, are you almost becoming the king of fish?
"Husband, today they started delivering fish to my house. I gave them two copper coins for the big fish, and one coin for the smaller ones. By the way, they also put some small fish into some fish ponds, and I gave them another Each person added a board.”
Chen Xiaobei couldn't help but smile. His investment finally paid off.
However, it was unrealistic to transport this nearly two-foot-long fish to the county town using a large water bag.
What should I do if I go to sell fish tomorrow?
Suddenly, Chen Xiaobei had an idea. Yes, just use this water tank to be fixed on the carriage, add water and cover it with a lid. It can hold as many fish as possible. Isn't it more convenient than a water bag?
Yes, just do it.
After dinner, Chen Xiaobei used the light to quickly tie up the chicken coop.
Watching each branch gradually turn into a square cage under Chen Xiaobei's deft hands.
Chen Qiaoer stood nearby and clapped her hands happily, "Brother is great, brother is so awesome."
Chen Xiaobei took a break from his busy schedule and tapped the bridge of Chen Qiaoer's nose gently, "You will have eggs to eat from now on."
After speaking, he glanced at Cui Hongyu who was embroidering in the distance, "Of course your sister-in-law has something to eat too."
Suddenly, he showered me with dog food, and I was caught off guard by this display of happiness.
Cui Hongyu's face instantly turned red again.
Seeing this scene, Chen Xiaobei couldn't help it. He had been married for so long, but he had yet to taste the wedding night.
Thinking of this, he thought of Carpenter Zhang again. This old Zhang, why hasn’t the bed he promised to make for himself been finished yet? No, I have to ask tomorrow.
Seeing him meditating here, Cui Hongyu obviously understood what he was thinking and coughed lightly, "Is your husband ready? Can you put the pheasant in now?"
Chen Xiaobei then turned around and quickly finished the work in hand.
A total of seventeen pheasants were caught and two were given to Chen Xiaowen. There were fifteen left. Adding the two in the yard, the number was still seventeen.
