Claude was in a good mood today, as refreshing as eating ice cream.
In the past five days, the pheasants and rabbits he sold to Pied in the old tavern gave each of their four partners about one silver taler and three riaso, which was almost the monthly income of a commoner. Even Erikson forgot about his unfinished fishing boat and followed them into the mountains and forests every day, looking for bushes and grass nests to set traps.
As Bockal said, this money is almost free. Just use vines to weave a few nooses, and wait to pick up rabbits and pheasants the next day. There is no need to use a musket at all, and even the cost of gunpowder guns and match ropes are saved.
Unfortunately, Pied had already acquired enough, and he didn't want any more rabbits or pheasants. Claude and the four of them also felt very tired. Yesterday, it took more than two hours just to find a good place to set the trap in the mountains and forests. In addition, rabbits and pheasants were rarely seen in the mounds and forest areas in the southern suburbs of the town. , these prey are not endless and can never be caught.
During breakfast in the morning, for some reason, Mr. Morsant started nagging again, and once again mentioned the new pair of leather boots that his mother bought for Claude and only wore them for more than ten days.
Claude couldn't bear it anymore and took out four Riasos and slapped them on the table: "Okay, I bought these leather boots. It has nothing to do with my mother. I don't want to hear you blaming my mother for this in the future." "
Mr. Morsan never expected that his second son would slap him in the face so directly. He was speechless for a moment. His face turned blue and white, and he stood there in a very embarrassed and annoyed way.
Claude, however, went to school happily carrying his schoolbag and whistling.
After wrestling class in the afternoon, Claude packed his schoolbag and prepared to leave school.
Bockal grabbed him and said, "Where are you going? The equestrian training class ends this week. There are only the last three days of classes. We have paid so much fees and we have to get our money back."
"Let's ride again tomorrow." Claude said, "I have to go to the southern suburbs of the town again."
"Why are you going there?" Bockaar was stunned: "Didn't Pied say that he would no longer buy rabbits and pheasants?"
"Go and take a look. Didn't we set up about twenty serial traps yesterday? I wonder if we have harvested anything today. Even if Pied doesn't accept them, we can divide them and take them home to eat. In addition, I also want to use those traps Get rid of them. Anyway, we won’t go there next and we can’t keep those traps. If there are rabbits, pheasants, etc., it will be easier for others to trap. I am worried that others will find out that I have learned to set up traps. method, then we won’t have to mess around anymore.”
Well, Claude was very thoughtful about this. He removed the traps that were still there and allowed those rabbits, pheasants and the like to breed and grow happily. After a year and a half, wait until they have grown fat before harvesting again. The friends have to agree that Claude is very crisis-conscious and has a long-term vision.
Thinking about it, those serial traps are very simple. If they are thrown there without prey being ensnared, no one will notice them. But just like Claude said, what should you do if you catch some prey and can't escape and someone else takes advantage of it
It's okay to take the prey. It's just that anyone who thinks about this serial trap will understand the rationale and setting techniques. Then he learns how to set up this trap and throws one in the east and two in the west. Soon the hunters in the town will Everyone will know, then the rabbits and pheasants in the future will no longer have anything to do with the four brothers.
"Would you like me to go with you?" Viricero asked.
Claude shook his head: "No need. Anyway, I'm just going for a walk today. It doesn't matter whether I get something or not. The main thing is to go over there and remove the traps that are still intact. It won't take much time. You guys are done riding the horse." Let's go to the pier after class. I haven't helped Uncle Peg for five days. If there is still something to gain, I will take it to the pier and let everyone share it."
Claude went home first and went upstairs to get the matchlock and put it on his shoulder. He also took a backpack and packed his things. Then he went downstairs to call a carriage and set off to the southern suburbs of the town. As soon as he went out, he saw his mother. He came back with a rattan basket, and Pang Dun followed him jumping up and down.
