The egg custard was steamed for a long time and the taste was slightly lacking, but the nutrition was not lost at all.

Beside the Maixiang River, the water gurgled, and the water wheel moved with the water. Tubes of river water fell into the wooden diversion canal, followed the canal, and flowed into the weir pond. The old scalper was pulling the overturned wheel on top, and the river water was flowing.

Go up layer by layer.

All the way east along the irrigation canal, where the fields of Maixiang Village are located, the villagers have been waiting in the fields with hoes and rakes, guarding the irrigation canal, always keeping an eye on the condition of the irrigation canal to avoid siltation.

"Here comes the water!"

"Here comes the water!"

With loud shouts, the expressions of the villagers became serious.

Spring irrigation is also very particular. Too much water will cause flooding, and too little water will cause drought. The specific amount depends on experience, and the amount of irrigation in each period is also different. There is a general standard, as long as it can ensure that there is no accumulation of water in the field overnight.

Water, pretty much.

There are three spring irrigations, one in early spring when the soil thaws, and then again before and after flowering.

Now is the first time.

However, due to the limitations of the specifications of the water trucks and irrigation canals, although there are now two water trucks and the newly built one is ten meters high, it is still not possible to irrigate all the village's fields in one day.

Especially in the past two years, the village has successively reclaimed two to three hundred acres of wasteland.

Two water trucks worked continuously for three days to complete the first spring irrigation of all the wheat fields in the village.

After the spring irrigation, Wang Zhong brought enough dry food and water and led two red dogs that were over two years old into the mountains.

With the good weather in recent years, the Maixiangling area has experienced several consecutive years of bumper harvests, and wild animals in the mountains have also grown wildly.

Not to mention anything else, there were many more pheasants and hares than before.

By the time Wang Zhong came out of the mountain, it was already three days later.

A wooden stick nearly as tall as a man was used as a carrying pole, with four or five game animals hanging on each side, mostly pheasants and hares.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Soon after the beginning of spring, everything revives, and the hare that has been catting in the hole all winter is not as plump as it is in the middle of winter.

"Woof woof woof!"

Before Wang Zhong entered the house, two red dogs ran all the way home. Jiang Hongguo came out of the house happily, holding a bowl of warm water in her hand.

"Master, why have you been away for so long this time?"

Wang Zhong smiled and said: "I met two raccoons and was delayed for a whole day."

"Look at this fur." ​​Wang Zhong pointed at the two raccoons with a bright smile on his face.

"It looks good!" Jiang Hongguo couldn't help but nod as he looked at it. The raccoon is also called the ocelot. It is not big, but its fur is very beautiful.

"I'll bake it later and make two vests for the two children, or a blanket."

Jiang Hongguo couldn't help but look forward to it after hearing this, "I'm afraid it might be too small to make a blanket."

After exchanging a few words, Wang Zhong went into the bathroom to wash up, while Jiang Hongguo helped Wang Zhong roll the noodles.

On the Eight Immortals table, Wang Zhong was engrossed in a big bowl about the size of his head, eating noodles. Jiang Hongguo sat next to him and suddenly said: "The day you first entered the mountain, Secretary Zhou from the county came to the village in a car.

Yes, I heard from Mrs. Jinhua that Secretary Zhou used to be the captain of the village work team."

"It must be Captain Zhou Yihu Zhou!"

"Yes, yes! My name is Zhou Yihu." Jiang Hongguo said: "But he is now the secretary. I heard that Party Secretary Wanchun said he is the top leader."

"The branch secretary also asked you to go find him when you come back. He said he had something to tell you." Jiang Hongguo remembered Wang Wanchun's instructions and said quickly.

"Don't be busy. Let's take care of the few prey animals outside and then I'll go find him."

After finishing a large bowl of noodles, the water on the stove was almost boiling. He scalded the pheasant. Jiang Hongguo sat on a small stool in the corridor and plucked the feathers. Wang Zhong also set up a table in the corridor and skillfully served the hare.

Skinning a raccoon dog.

Because it relies on the Maixiang River and has waterwheel irrigation, even in years with water shortages and droughts like the previous two years, irrigation can still be guaranteed, and bumper harvests can be achieved for several consecutive years.

After paying the public grain, the grain produced in a year can not only satisfy the family's food for the whole year, but also have a lot of surplus. The villagers are not willing to cut some meat to eat after ten and a half days.

However, when the villagers buy meat, they also try to buy as much fat as possible. Game such as the one Wang Zhong caught must be brought to the city in order to sell it at a high price.

However, Maixiang Village has an alternative like Ma Renli.

When he heard that Wang Zhong had brought a lot of prey home with a good harvest, Ma Renli was like a cat that smelled the smell of fish, and couldn't wait to come over.

"Oh, you caught so many prey!" Ma Renli gave a thumbs up as soon as he entered the door, as if he was slapping a horse with a slender beard: "As expected of the captain of our Maixiang villagers' army, he is awesome."

"Okay, stop flattering me and choose what you want."

Looking at the two pieces of beautiful leopard-like fur, Ma Renli's eyes instantly lit up: "There are raccoons this time?" He swallowed as he spoke.

"We don't see many raccoons here. If you, kid, put your mind on tending the fields, Niu DaDang would probably have to surrender in front of you." Wang Zhong joked.

"There's no comparison!" Ma Renli waved his hands and shook his head: "President Niu is one of the best people in Maixiang Village. How can I compare with him?"

This kid was also scared, and now he was as slippery as a monkey. Wang Zhong did not continue to joke, picked up a kitchen knife, grabbed a raccoon dog and asked: "How much do you want this time?"

"This..." Ma Renli looked at the skinned raccoon and started to think about how to get it. However, thinking of his thin wallet, he still hesitated: "How about the price?"

"Don't say I don't take care of you. Three pounds of white flour will be exchanged for one pound of meat!" Wang Zhong said. The price of ordinary pork on the market now is five to six times that of flour. If Wang Zhong brings this raccoon into the city, he will meet someone who knows how to do it.

Buyers can sell for higher prices.

But now everyone's life is tight, and not many people can spend like this.

"I brought five kilograms of white flour!" Ma Ren

Li swallowed his saliva, and the smile on his face became brighter. He handed the cloth bag filled with white flour to Wang Zhong: "Give me a hind leg!"

Wang Zhong raised his knife and cut off one of Lizi's hind legs, then went into the house to get the ebony scale and weigh it.

"It's very prosperous, eleven ounces per catty, look carefully."

"No problem!" Ma Renli said very generously, but his eyes never left the scale: "The president has always been fair, I can trust him."

"Okay, don't flatter me in front of me!" Wang Zhong tied his hind legs with a straw rope and handed it to Ma Renli.

Ma Renli held up Li Zi's legs and said with a smile, "I am speaking from my heart."

"Get out!"

"okay!"

Ma Renli took the raccoon leg and left happily.

After a while, Qiao Yue, who was wearing a cotton-padded jacket, a scarf, and shoulder-length hair, also came, also carrying the cloth bag in her hand.

"Captain Wang, sister-in-law!" Qiao Yue greeted the two of them with a smile as soon as they entered the door. She was not at all embarrassed as she had been pestering Wang Zhong before, touching her cold butt with her hot face countless times.

"It's sister Qiao Yue!" Jiang Hongguo not only knew from Sister Jinhua and the others that Qiao Yue pursued her husband to no avail, she even saw Qiao Yue's obsession with Wang Zhong with her own eyes. But now that all of this has passed, Qiao Yue

If she is not embarrassed, Jiang Hongguo will naturally not feel embarrassed either.

After all, Qiao Yue lives in the main house in the front yard, and she can see her yard from the window.

He welcomed the person into the courtyard with a smile and exchanged three pounds of white flour for one pound of rabbit meat, which is the meat from the rabbit's hind legs.

After a while, the villagers came after hearing the news, some to get white flour, and some to buy it directly with money.

Civet meat can also replenish qi and cure hemorrhoids. It has high medicinal value. Unfortunately, every person in Maixiang Village who knows the goods has two raccoons, four rabbits, and one pheasant, and they will soon be divided up.

There are only a few corners left, including a pheasant and a rabbit.

The rest of these are what Wang Zhong and Jiang Hongguo plan to eat themselves.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It's a pity that you are pregnant with a child now, otherwise I would make you a spicy rabbit head to try." Next to the table, Wang Zhong was disemboweling the pheasant and taking out the internal organs.

, looking at Jiang Hongguo with a big belly, he said with regret.

"Spicy rabbit head?" This is the first time Jiang Hongguo heard about it.

Wang Zhong explained: "It is a kind of Sichuan cuisine. It is quite troublesome to make. It has the unique flavor of Sichuan. But you can't eat it with too strong flavor now. However, the nutritional value of rabbit head is still very high. So, I

Let me improve it and let you try it!"

The spicy rabbit heads do taste good, but for Wang Zhong, he eats them if he has them, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't have them. But now that there are five ready-made rabbit heads in front of him, he can make them.

"Okay!" Jiang Hongguo smiled.

Rabbit head is more troublesome to make. If you want to make it really delicious, it will take at least two days. So in the evening, the couple stewed half a pheasant. Jiang Hongguo rolled out the noodles and simmered the noodles with chicken soup. They had a meal.

In the countryside of this era, it was considered an extremely sumptuous dinner.

"Master, please eat more." At the dinner table, Jiang Hongguo frequently put meat into Wang Zhong's bowl.

Wang Zhong said: "I didn't eat less in the mountains, you eat more."

While saying that, he also put a few pieces of chicken into the ginger fruit bowl.

There wasn't much to cook, so the two of them took a few pieces from each other, and there were not many pieces left in the vegetable bowl.

Jiang Hongguo drank chicken soup and ate chicken, her face was full of happiness, and she said with emotion: "I have never thought that I can live such a magical life."

Not to mention there is meat every meal, but you can always have one meal every three days. At home, we eat a mixture of white noodles and stick noodles, and most of them are white noodles. Not to mention the entire Maixiang Village, but also the entire adjacent area.

No family's life can compare to that of Wang Zhong's family.
