Chapter 159 Catching the Sparrow

On the threshing ground.

Fat Miaoer and Li Hongzao were separated by a distance, and each cleaned up a clearing area, got busy, and began to make traps to catch sparrows.

First, find a foot-long wooden stick, tie it with a rope, use a wooden stick to support the basket, sprinkle cornmeal inside and outside, so that it is done.

"Pang Miao'er, why are there cornmeal sprinkles outside?" Li Hongzao walked over and asked curiously.

"Because the sparrow is very brave, if it only puts it inside, it may not dare to go in and eat it."

"I sprinkle some cornmeal outside, and it goes in as I eat it, making it easier to catch it."

"So that's it, you know so much about Fat Miaoer."

Li Hongzao smiled sweetly, looked at Fat Miaoer with admiration, turned around and ran back to his trap, and sprinkled some cornmeal outside.

After sprinkling cornmeal, the two of them slowly retreated with the rope, came to the back of a snow pile and hid it, waiting for the sparrow to take the bait.

After a stick of incense, Zhou Silang, Xiao Hei and Erdan also came.

They held baskets and baskets in their hands, and only Xiao Hei was the most special, which was a large wooden basin for washing clothes.

Instead of setting up the trap first, the three of them walked towards Pang Miaoer and Li Hongzao.

"Fat Meow, have you caught it?"

Zhou Shilang asked.

"Shh!"

Fat Miaoer stretched out a finger between her lips, made a gesture of banning sound, and pointed her other hand towards the trap.

Seeing this, Zhou Silang quickly shut up, walked to the snow pile with his hands and feet, and poked his head out to look forward.

I saw two sparrows eating cornmeal on the ground, walking step by step into the trap, and occasionally raising their heads to see if there is any danger.

Several people held their breath, clenched their fists, and quietly waited for the sparrow to take the bait.

One step, two steps, three steps, four steps...

Zhou Shilang's breathing became heavy, staring at the trap intently.

Finally, the sparrow walked into the trap, and Zhou Shilang shouted excitedly: "Rare! Fat Meow!"

It seemed that Zhou Silang's words shocked the sparrow, and it flew up and flew to the branch next to it.

"What are you calling?"

Fat Miaoer looked at Zhou Silang angrily.

"I, I..."

Zhou Silang stammered and didn't know what to do, so he turned around and ran away to set up his own trap.

"snort!"

Looking at Zhou Silang who was running away, Fat Miaoer hummed with a little nose. This incense stick was vain, and the frightened sparrow would not come back.

At this moment, Li Hongzao pulled the corner of Fat Miao'er's clothes and pointed at her trap.

Fat Miao'er turned around and saw two sparrows walking into the trap.

Li Hongzao pointed to the rope in his hand and nodded, meaning to ask Fat Miaoer if he could pull it.

Fat Miaoer shook her head and whispered: "Wait a minute."

Two sparrows ate the cornmeal on the ground and walked step by step towards the middle of the basket.

Fat Miao'er held Li Hongzao's hand and held the rope with her.

Just as the sparrow lowered his head to eat, Fat Miaoer pulled the rope and the two sparrows were locked under the basket.

"Catched! Catched!"

Li Hongzao jumped up happily, grabbed Fat Miao'er's hand and ran over.

The sparrows under the basket were flying and thrust, hitting the basket and making a "papapapapapa" sound.

Li Hongzao squatted down and prepared to lift up the basket to grab the sparrow.

"Slow down." Fat Miao'er reached out to stop her.

"Um?"

Li Hongzao turned around and looked at Fat Miaoer in confusion.

Fat Miaoer also squatted down, opened her arms and surrounded the basket, and explained: "There are two inside, so we must be careful not to let the other one run away."

After hearing this, Li Hongzao lit up a corner of the basket and slowly lifted up a corner of the basket and reached in.

After a while of groping, Li Hongzao finally caught one and took it out from under the basket.

The other sparrow was about to escape, but the fat Miaoer was quickly caught.

The two of them threw the sparrow they caught to the ground and killed it like they were dealing with frogs.

Li Hongzao picked up the dead sparrow and held it in his hand, while Fat Miao'er put up the basket again and sprinkled some cornmeal.

After everything stopped, the two returned to the snow pile just now.

Two hours later, Li Hongzao rubbed his cold little face with his hands, and looked at the sparrows on the ground with a smile.

"Fat Meow, we have caught twenty-five ones. You are so awesome!"

In the past, you could catch one or two sparrows once in winter. In addition, the weather was cold, which was a waste of time, so no one would catch them.

The reason why Fat Miaoer was able to catch these is related to her eyesight and reaction.

She can always pull down the wooden stick at the best time, and call the sparrow to go back and forth.

At this time, Zhou Silang, Xiao Hei and Erdan came over in the distance, carrying their own equipment in their hands.

Seeing this, Li Hongzao asked, "Silang, Xiaohei, Erdan, how many have you caught?"

Xiao Hei and Erdan spread their hands, each with a dead sparrow in their hands.

Zhou Silang smiled and showed off: "I was lucky today and caught three, more than them."

"Where are you?" Zhou Silang asked back.

Li Hongzao flicked away and pointed to a pile of sparrows on the ground and said, "Twenty-five."

"What?"

Zhou Silang widened his eyes and looked at the small pile of sparrows with disbelief.

As the saying goes, grasshoppers are also meat. If you can catch twenty-five sparrows every day, it will be enough for your family to satisfy your cravings.

"Fat Meow, Red Date, you are so awesome!"

After being shocked, Zhou Silang looked at the two of them with envy, his throat moved, thinking: I wish he could catch twenty-five ones!

"What awesome, it's all caught by Fat Miao'er. I'm just helping me out."

Li Hongzao, who was praised by Zhou Silang, felt a little embarrassed and lowered her head shyly.

When Fat Miaoer saw the expressions of the three of them, she knew what they were thinking.

He turned to look at Li Hongzao and discussed, "It's too cold, so let's not catch them. Go to my house to cook them."

"OK!"

Li Hongzao agreed in one bite.

Zhou Silang, who was standing beside him, interrupted and said, "Fat Miaoer, can we go to your house to bake together?"

The things made by Fat Miaoer are delicious, and Zhou Shilang thinks that the sparrow she roasts must be delicious.

"no problem."

Fat Miaoer waved her hand: "Let's go to my house to roast the sparrow."

"Okay!"

Seeing Fat Miaoer agreeing, Zhou Silang was very happy.

"I'll go and collect things for you."

After saying that, Zhou Silang turned around and left.

...

In the kitchen.

Fat Miaoer threw the sparrow into the stove pit, and the firewood that had not yet been extinguished was burned, and it was cooked in a short while.

Fat Miaoer pulled it out with a stick, and when the temperature dropped a little, she directly peeled off the black skin with her hands, and a smell of flesh came to her nose.

Li Hongzao and Zhou Silang also squatted down to help, and they processed them all in three or five seconds, filling a large plate.

Several people came to the main hall with plates and soy sauce and placed them on the table.

He called Li Xiaodao, Wei Shu, Compass, Liu Yeer, and Qian Dazhuang, who had been staying in this horse stance, started eating it separately.

"It smells so good!"

A group of children were having a lot of food, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces.
