Chapter six hundred and forty seventh: dug up(1/2)

Huang Daozhou directed Zhang Fangfen, Huang Xin, Du Jia, Qian Guodong, Wang Yu, Liu Xiaoming, Qian Aiguo, Liu Xiaoli, etc. to lay traps.

He was searching all over the ground, and Zhang Fangfen asked curiously: "What are you looking for? What can you find in this wilderness?"

"Haha, it must be here!"

Seeing Huang Daozhou digging on the ground with a small shovel, Zhang Fangfen was even more surprised and asked, "What are you digging for?"

Du Jia and Huang Xin were also very surprised. Huang Xin said: "There shouldn't be Ganoderma lucidum or ginseng here?"

Du Jia said: "It should be digging a rabbit nest!"

"Don't think blindly. I buried a few broken jars here a few years ago. No one wants those things and they should still be there."

Huang Xin said in disappointment: "It turns out I'm looking for the broken jar that was thrown here before!"

"Ah! You have such a good memory?" Zhang Fangfen said.

"This place is the same as it was five or six years ago, with just grass and trees growing more lush. I dug it, haha..."

"Hey! It's really two halves. Interesting! Where did you and Huang Han sleep when you came here?"

Huang Daozhou looked at it and pointed to a place about a mile away from the river, and said: "It's those haystacks. I didn't expect that after several years, there are still places where haystacks are piled."

After all, Zhang Fangfen has lived in the countryside for ten or twenty years and is more experienced.

He said: "That's a drying ground. The grass from each household must be piled together. It takes up too much room in the house."

"It's not cold at all when I sleep in a haystack at night, but my whole body is itchy and uncomfortable."

"Isn't that right? Insects also like to get into haystacks!"

Huang Xin and Du Jia set up a trap. She especially wanted to see the place where her father and brother spent the night, and said: "Du Jia, let's go see the haystack there!"

Du Jia heard the conversation between Huang Daozhou and his wife and was very interested. He took Huang Xin's hand and ran along the narrow path.

"Slow down, in case you step on a snake!"

Although Huang Xin has a rural registered permanent residence, she has no experience living in rural areas. She has seen snakes several times and found them creepy.

"Gee..., I'm not afraid of snakes. We wore shoes, and if we stepped on them, the snakes would be crushed, so there's no way they could bite anyone."

"I didn't expect you to be so bold!"

"My grandfather often took me to the countryside when I was a kid. I lived in all the villages in the mountains! You could hear wolves howling at night in those villages."

"There are wolves! I don't want to go to that kind of place."

"I'm afraid there are no wolves in that kind of place now."

Cheng Shengli's shooting skills were good and he caught more than 20 prey, not all of which were sparrows but also a few "Shanxi hot peppers".

Because Chengwen Pavilion brought Xiao Qiang with them, their performance was affected and they only harvested three sparrows.

Huang Han took two guns and took them with Huang Qian, Lu Yao, Wang Huiling, Zhang Chunmei, Wang Li, Zhang Qian, etc. just for fun, without any hope of shooting anything.

This is also true. Huang Han didn't fire a single shot, and his arms were numb from the pressure of bullets. Huang Qian, Lu Yao, Zhang Chunmei, etc. who started the robbery for the first time all went crazy. The bullets were flying and the sparrow was safe.

Liu Xiaoming is not what he used to be. In the past, he often borrowed the air gun from Wang Si's primary school to play with. Not all of it was to shoot sparrows, but most of the time he would hit matchboxes by the Beiwan River to check his head.

When he and Qian Aiguo, Qian Guodong, Huang Xin, and Du Jia were hunting, Liu Xiaoming turned out to be the champion, shooting seven or eight sparrows and three "Shanxi hot peppers."

The strange thing is that Du Jia's marksmanship is very good and he actually shot seven sparrows.

In fact, she should be the champion, because she only fired ten rounds of lead bullets, with a hit rate of 70%. Liu Xiaoming could not count the number of shots he fired while lying in wait behind the haystack.

That's because Huang Xin and Du Jia are not very strong, so they can only press the bullet if they work together.

Although Liu Xiaoming is still so thin, he is actually very energetic. He can press the bullet in one go, and his speed must be several times that of Huang Xin and Du Jia's cooperation.

All the girls were empty-handed, but Du Jia had outstanding results.

Huang Han found it incredible. Xiao Qiang couldn't hide her words and asked curiously: "Du Jia, you are so powerful, how can you be a sharpshooter?"

"It's nothing. I played with guns when I was a child. Every summer and winter vacation, my grandpa would take me to target shooting. I didn't know I was going to hunt today. I wasn't prepared. I have a shotgun at home, and I have hunted wild boars before."

Huang Han then remembered that Du Jia's grandfather was an old Red Army soldier and a retired senior cadre of the army. Her uncle was now in the Capital Military Region and should be one of the leaders of the army.

He joked: "There are no wild boars in our county, so we'd better stop hunting and spare those rabbits!"

"Pfft!" Du Jia couldn't help but laugh, and the other teenagers also laughed "haha...".

Huang Xin said: "Du Jia saw a few 'Shanxi Spicy' and wild starlings but didn't hunt them. He only shot sparrows."

Xiaoqian asked strangely: "Sister Du Jia, why?"

"Sparrows are pests and eat food; those birds are beneficial insects and eat bugs."

This is very true at this time, because this was the propaganda in the past, and the unlucky sparrow was one of the "four pests" along with flies, mosquitoes, and rats.

No one thought that sparrows would be protected animals in the future.

Huang Han did not argue with Du Jia, but said: "It turns out that classmate Du Jia has good intentions!"

"Giggle..., you don't seem to have hit anything. Is it because you have kind thoughts?"

Huang Han clasped his hands together and said, "It's so good, so good. Monks don't kill living beings out of compassion, but the female donors who are with me have evil thoughts and want to kill living beings."

But because the marksmanship is too bad to kill, both hands are empty. My Buddha is compassionate, existence is emptiness, emptiness is existence, there is no greater kindness!"

"Hahaha... Hey, Huang Han, you can't tease me anymore, I'm laughing so much that my stomach hurts!"

When the sun sets in the west, there are dozens of sparrows, but there are definitely no rabbits.

Huang Daozhou was lucky enough to catch three large crucian carp and some small miscellaneous fish. Qian Guodong was even more lucky and caught a herring and also caught a lot of small miscellaneous fish.

Cheng Shengli, Cheng Wenge, Qian Aiguo, etc. all had harvests, but there were no big fish.

Liu Xiaoming not only had the harvest of hunting, but also harvested two white striped fish and one bonefish, which he boasted about greatly to Xiao Qiang.

This made Xiao Qiang roll her eyes, and Wang Yu, who was so angry that he had found nothing, wished he could go down to the river and catch a big fish.

In the evening, the village chief and director took two young people who had just got off work to bring a large pot that had been used when running the canteen. Inside was a large pot of hot mutton.

The ingredients are fresh, and the village director must have tried his best to make this pot of mutton stew. The aroma is so fragrant that the teenagers started to salivate.

The two young men who helped with the work respectfully addressed themselves as Mr. Huang Daozhou and not as County Magistrate Huang. After asking, I found out that they were workers at the air-conditioning factory of "Full Force Enterprise".

More than half of the young people in their village are working in the city, and a quarter of them have rented houses in the city and do not come back every day.

Huang Han listened to Huang Daozhou chatting with the two young people for a while and had an idea in his mind.

Sanshui County's economic level has improved, and the demand for commercial housing has emerged. Before the New Year this year, the State Council will hold the "First National Housing System Reform Work Conference."

This means that the housing reform has been officially piloted across the board, land restrictions have finally been completely relaxed, and the real estate industry will usher in a thirty-year golden development period.

Seizing the opportunity is equivalent to picking up money. Next spring, the "Ziqiang Construction Company" will have to buy land to build commercial housing in Shanghai and Hangzhou. Should we simply set up a real estate company?

Huang Daozhou is an approachable person. Now that he knows that the two young men are employees of "Full Force Enterprise", there is no reason to let them go back. He must keep them to eat mutton together.

Since there are two young people left behind, why are you so embarrassed to let the village chief and village director go and stay for a drink together?

When I came to the wilderness, I didn’t bring Maotai or Wuliangye, but I had a box of Yanghe’s high-quality Daqu in the car.

In the evening, a bonfire was lit on the drying ground, and people ate mutton, fish, roasted sparrows, and drank mutton soup and fish soup. Everyone found it fresh and interesting. Playing guitar, singing, playing music, and dancing were a must!

"Huang Han, you are so awesome, how could you think of playing like this?"

Xiao Qiang took the two sparrows that Huang Han roasted and gave to her and said happily.

Huang Han said: "Zhang Chunmei, Liu Xiaoli, everyone come, one person has two sparrows, and the old man is innocent."

Lu Yao was grilling three two-finger-wide white fish in her hands. She also loved playing and was in a good mood today. She finally said something nice and said: "He is so talented and he always surprises us!"

"Haha, as long as you are happy. This skewer of roasted sparrows is for you."

"I don't want it for nothing. I'll give you a skewer of grilled fish later."

At this time, Wang Huiling brought a bowl of fish soup to Huang Han and said, "You haven't eaten much yourself, try the fish soup I cooked!"

"Did you burn it?"

The little girl who was gnawing on the sheep bones said: "Wang Huiling is the most agile in handling fish. She can even keep up with her mother."

Huang Han took a big sip of fish soup and praised: "It's delicious. I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good."

"I have been learning to cook since I was a child, but now I cook less because I am nervous about studying."

"Yes, yes, you are good at being able to work in the hall and in the kitchen. Lu Yao, you have to learn from it!"

"Eh? Why do you always talk about me? I'm much better than Zhang Chunmei, Xiao Qiang and the others."

Nonsense! Huang Han thought to himself, can I take care of this? If you don’t go around and live your life, I will be the biggest beneficiary if you improve your cooking skills.

He tempted Lu Yao and said, "Cooking skills are so important. If you are so smart, you should spend more time studying. If you can cook good food, your future life will definitely be more enjoyable."

"It doesn't matter, Wang Huiling is here, you can have dinner with her later!" Lu Yao rolled her eyes at Huang Han and said.

Wang Huiling was not stupid. She knew there was something in Lu Yao's words, so she said deliberately: "Huang Han, I am willing to cook for you. The more I cook, the more delicious it will be!"

The heartless Xiao Qiang said: "You are boring! What should we do?"

"I can make more, and you can come too!"

"That's pretty much it!"
