Li Han’s Little Farmer’s Wife from the Mountains

Chapter 48: Cover the sheepfold [One more collection]

Views:

Shen Ruolan chose the location of the sheepfold in the northwest corner of the back garden, which was as high as the garden wall, so that both the west wall and the north wall could be used. It would be good to just build the east wall and build a gate facing south. After the building is finished, pile up some straw and firewood on the roof of the sheepfold, so that from the outside, it looks like a firewood pile, and no one can see that it is a fence, and there is no need to be afraid of being seen.

When Shen Fucun was working, Shen Ruolan also came out to help, cleaning up the weeds and digging the soil. Although she didn't do much, but after all, she was here to do the work for her, so she was worthless Son, let people see that she has a correct attitude!

But who knew, Shen Fucun didn't pay attention to the little work she was doing, and after a few glances, he immediately sent her back: "Lanya, I don't need you here, you should go back to the house to look at the sheep. In case you urinate, it's better to clean it up in time!"

Shen Ruolan was worried that she would not be able to do it, so she readily agreed after hearing what he said.

After returning to the house, I really saw a pile of sheep cakes on the floor of the house, which were dark and still steaming, and they were freshly baked.

Shen Ruolan felt sick for a while, and quickly cleaned up the pile of things.

Fortunately, the sheep only ate grass, and the cakes they pulled out didn't smell bad, but they were a bit smelly, otherwise, if it was smelly, she would have to vomit it.

After cleaning up, she picked up some ashes from the stove and placed it on the place where there was poop just now, so as to prevent the smell of mutton from wandering around.

After finishing her work, Shen Ruolan found out from the pile of clothes at the top of the kang a rag that her mother had left behind, and put on a pair of rags to cover her brand new cotton-padded jacket and trousers. He picked up a basket from the firewood pile, a broom and a short, thick wooden stick and walked out of the house.

When she got outside, a gust of cold air hit her face, she shivered, and quickly took out the ragged cotton trousers that she replaced yesterday from the space, and wrapped them around her head, there was no way, the family was poor, and she didn't have a hat to wear. Afraid of the cold, she could only make do with her ripped cotton trousers.

"Lan Ya, what are you doing here?"

Shen Fucun, who was making mud, looked up and saw his cousin going to the back mountain in full body armor, and couldn't help stretching his neck and shouting.

Shen Ruolan turned her head and grinned: "I won't tell you!" After speaking, she turned and continued walking up the mountain.

"You girl, come back quickly, there are wolves on the mountain!"

"I know, I'm not far away, I'm right in front of you..."

Shen Ruolan followed the path all the way up, and when she climbed the hillside, she was already sweating all over her body, she panted for a while with her hands on her knees, she couldn't bear it with her small body, and in addition to the heavy snow that just fell yesterday, the ground Xuedu lost her ankle, and it was even more difficult for her to walk.

After a while, she took a deep breath, hurriedly chose a place, and arranged it.

She wanted to take advantage of the heavy snowfall to see if she could catch a few more sparrows. She has done sparrow buckling in her previous life, and Mr. Lu Xun taught her. The tools needed are simple, which is very suitable for a clean-cut person like her now.

Speaking of which, many people have done it when they were young. The best time is in winter, especially when the heavy snow covers all the ground tightly. The method is very simple, but the harvest is not very much each time, because the sparrows are sensitive, and it is not bad to detain five or six sparrows under normal circumstances.

Moreover, even if it is buckled, it will be very difficult to take it out of the basket, because if the basket is opened up a gap, the little sparrow will run away from the gap.

Shen Ruolan is completely based on the experience accumulated from childhood practice in her previous life.

I think that when she snatched sparrows for the first time, she squatted in the snow for three hours. Xiaomi was eaten by flying sparrows, but she didn’t catch any sparrows. Later, she gradually recovered from repeated failures. After groping for experience, every time I buckle the sparrow, I get a little gain. Up to now, I am almost half an expert in sparrow buckling.

Now that there is no meat to eat at home, can she just do it like this? Even if she doesn't help her, her small body doesn't allow her to not eat meat for so many days!

What's more, there are guests at home, and they are helping her with work, so why don't you have to cook for them and lick your lips!

She swept out an open space, took out some millet and sprinkled it on the open space, then put the basket she brought on it, propped it up with a small wooden stick, and tied a string to the bottom of the small wooden stick.

In order to prevent the sparrows from finding out, she specially took the white thread and put it in the snow. If you don't look carefully, you really can't see it. She straightened the thread, and holding the rope in her hand, she went to a nearby tree and squatted down.

After waiting patiently for a while, a few sparrows flew over chirping, sharp-eyed spotted the millet on the ground, and then all the sparrows landed on the snow.

The sparrow is still a smart bird. When it sees something delicious, it doesn’t act recklessly. Instead, it slowly approaches the basket. under the basket.

This is a competition of patience.

Shen Ruolan squatted behind the tree, remained motionless, her eyes were fixed on the sparrows on the ground, and when a few sparrows entered the ambush range and lowered their heads to peck and eat Xiaomi, she pulled the rope with great precision!

Crack!

Oh yeah!

The other sparrows ran away in fright because of the sudden fall of the basket, and the greedy ones in the basket also rushed to run away.

Shen Ruolan hurried over, untied the cotton trousers on her head, surrounded them along the lower edge of the basket, gently lifted the basket, and at the same time blocked the torn cotton trousers to the raised gap, especially It is to cover tightly around the arm that is protruding into the basket.

Then carefully grabbed the sparrows inside one by one, without tying them up, directly grabbed the very cruel ones, twisted their necks, and then threw the corpses into the space and it was over. There were seven sparrows in total, and none of them escaped. .

Then, she restored the scene of the murder, and the person continued to squat behind the tree to wait for the next wave.

It's just that this time the waiting time will be longer than before. Because those sparrows who escaped would not be fooled again, she could only wait for the next wave.

Fortunately, the cotton-padded jacket and trousers she was wearing were warm enough, otherwise she would have just squatted here like a wooden stake for an hour or two, and the cold would have froze her to death!

It was noon, and she counted her harvest for the morning, um, it was okay, a total of sixteen sparrows were buckled, although not many, it was almost enough to make a plate of food.

Seeing that it was getting late, she quickly called off work and went back to cook for the big brother.

When I got home, I first boiled a pot of hot water, and when the water boiled, I took out all the sparrows from the space, put them in the hot water for a while, and then immediately took them out and began to pluck them quickly.

In this way, she borrowed from the method of handling chickens in her previous life, and she felt that they should be similar if they were all with hair.

After plucking all the feathers, make a small opening at the tail, squeeze out the internal organs, and then chop off the head. The sparrow is too small. After killing it, it is not as big as a chicken. You can basically eat one in one bite. A dozen sparrows were not enough, so she had to peel three more potatoes. In this way, sparrow stewed potatoes could be regarded as a meat dish.

Mix a piece of shredded cabbage cold, drizzle with sesame oil and chili oil, and braise a pot of golden rice, it’s all done!
