Baiyue Cave Master

If there is no other choice, who would be willing to work from nine to five?

Wang Yuanchao really likes the feeling of going up the mountain to pick up mountain products. It brings both the joy of harvest and the sense of relaxation and freedom.

With Wang Yuanchao's current physical strength and endurance, going up the mountain to pick up mountain products is really a pleasure.

After picking some wild vegetables, Wang Yuanchao began to look for wild fruits in the mountains, such as persimmons, mountain pears, hawthorns, mountain reds, soft dates, chestnuts, pine nuts, hazelnuts, etc.

Wang Yuanchao moved basket after basket into the space like an overjoyed little mouse.

The supplies in the Greater Khingan Range are so rich and abundant. No wonder Aunt Chunhua said that no one starved to death during the famine.

Just talking about chestnuts, everyone who has eaten them knows that its fruit has a strong sense of fillingness.

If someone was lucky enough to find an undiscovered chestnut tree, the whole family would be happy for the whole day.

Not to mention that chestnuts basically grow in patches, so as long as you are diligent, you won't starve to death here.

While Wang Yuanchao was picking fruits, he was transplanting some unused saplings into the space.

At this time, Wang Yuanchao was picking pine nuts in a pine nut forest when he suddenly saw a little squirrel hiding in a tree at the edge and peeking around. When it saw him looking over, it was immediately frightened and prepared to run back.

Wang Yuanchao picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it at the little squirrel.

"With a snap, the little squirrel was hit on the head. Wang Yuanchao walked towards the little squirrel happily, picked it up and put it in the space.

Wang Yuanchao has never eaten squirrel in his two lifetimes combined, but today he seems to have the chance to try it.

Before he knew it, half a day had passed. Wang Yuanchao was picking up mountain products very quickly.

As soon as Wang Yuanchao touched the firewood and mountain products, he put them into the space.

In most of the day, they had already picked up all the mountain products from the two hills near home.

When Wang Yuanchao returned home, his young wife and her daughter had not yet returned from work.

Wang Yuanchao came to the kitchen and piled walnuts, pine nuts, wild grapes, chestnuts, hazelnuts, and wild persimmons into small hills on the kitchen floor.

He used his consciousness to control the machete and killed a deer, two wild goats, a silly roe deer, and a small squirrel in the space and put them in the shade in the corner of the kitchen.

Then he found two wild hens and two mallards in the space, took them outside, killed the chickens and ducks, boiled water and trimmed their feathers,

Start cooking rice and vegetables.

My mother-in-law's daughters-in-law haven't done such intense work as autumn harvest for a long time, so they need to be well nourished.

Wang Yuanchao cooked a dish of chicken stewed with mushrooms, using pheasant, ginger, chili pepper, soy sauce, white wine, and fresh mushrooms.

I also used mallard duck to make a hanging pot duck.

Wang Yuanchao discovered the mallard nesting on a rock on the reed beach next to the Qingyu River.

At that time, two large mallards and more than ten small mallards were caught. Wang Yuanchao had kept them in the space and had never taken care of them. Now the mallards in the space have occupied the reed marshes in the space canal.

This thing has a high yield, laying seven to eleven eggs per nest, mostly white or green-gray. There are so many mallards in the space now that Wang Yuanchao can't even count them.

They can only sweep into static space from time to time, and the rest allow them to continue to reproduce.

However, this thing was almost eaten to extinction by humans and is now on the list of protected animals.

He cooked a dish of chicken stewed with mushrooms, a dish of duck in a hanging pot, and Wang Yuanchao also cooked a dish of spicy fish fillet, a dish of stir-fried water spinach, and a dish of smashed cucumber.

It's quite a feast for three people.

Widow Du and Zhang Yuanyuan had been working hard all day and returned home with sore backs. They saw a table full of delicious food ready for them to eat.

Both mother and daughter were almost moved to tears.

"Master, did you cook all these dishes?

You are so kind to us, these dishes look delicious and must be tasty."

Wang Yuanchao handed each of the mother and daughter a cup of tea made with Lingquan water, and said with a smile:

"Come on, have a glass of water first, we'll have dinner soon."

"Yeah, okay, thank you sir."

"Well, thank you for your help. I have to say, after drinking a cup of tea, I feel like I am alive again and my spirits have been restored.

By the way, Yuan Chao, where did these chickens and ducks come from? "

Wang Yuanchao said with a smile:

"After we sold the poultry needed by the Provincial Electric Motor Factory in the morning,

I went up the mountain to pick up mountain products. Today I not only picked up all the mountain products from the two mountains behind our house,

They also dug several traps and caught two pheasants, two wild ducks, a roe deer, a deer, and two wild goats.

In order to nourish your body, I stewed pheasant and wild duck in a pot. They are all here.

Roe deer, deer, and wild goats are all in the kitchen."

Widow Du seemed to be listening to a fairy tale. Other villagers who also went up the mountain could hardly catch any prey.

His son-in-law could gain so much as soon as he went up the mountain? He said in disbelief:

"Yuan Chao, hurry up, where's the prey? Let me see, quickly."

Wang Yuanchao had no choice but to bring his mother-in-law to the kitchen. When Widow Du and Zhang Yuanyuan saw so many mountain products and several preys in the kitchen, they became very excited.

The surprise was beyond words. The two women jumped for joy on the spot. After a while, Widow Du finally reacted and asked worriedly:

"Yuan Chao, when you took down the prey, no one saw it, right?"

Wang Yuanchao nodded confidently and said:

"Don't worry, there's no way I'd let anyone in the village see it.

I came down from the mountain next to my home.

Our house is so remote, there is no one around, who can see it?"

Are you kidding? I took these out of the space myself, how could anyone see them?

Then Wang Yuanchao continued:

"Today I also found a herd of wild boars in the mountains.

I plan to first figure out their route of movement, and then dig traps along their route.

Try to kill one or two wild boars and bring them home before the winter.

Then our family won’t have to worry about eating meat throughout the winter.”

Zhang Yuanyuan looked at Wang Yuanchao with concern and asked:

"My dear, we already have enough meat at home. Plus the meat you brought back today, it's enough for our family to eat. Please don't take any risks, okay?"

Wang Yuanchao rubbed his young wife's face and said comfortingly:

"Fool, your man is not going to fight wild boars, he is just digging a trap and waiting for the prey.

Where does the danger come from? "

Seeing Zhang Yuanyuan's face relieved, Widow Du was not so easy to appease, and said worriedly:

"Yuan Chao, I heard from an old hunter in the village that in the mountains, wild boars are the most powerful and difficult to deal with. How can they be so easy to fight?

You are the only pillar of our family. Both mother and I depend on you for our livelihood.

Don't take any risks, okay?"

Wang Yuanchao didn't want to worry the mother and daughter, so he had to say:

"Okay, mother-in-law, I promise you, come, let's eat quickly. After dinner, we still have to clean up these mountain products in the kitchen. There are too many. We will be busy in the evening."
