The hunter's leisurely life begins with marrying a female educated youth.

Jiuwan Village has six production teams and two large canteens.

The first, second, and third production teams shared a large canteen, as did the fourth, fifth, and sixth production teams. All of them were located a hundred meters away from the old camphor tree square, consisting of two mud-brick houses facing each other.

Therefore, the meals served in these two large canteens were available to members of all six production teams.

In addition to a head chef, the large canteen also employs several women, mostly those who are physically unsuitable for heavy manual labor or who are older.

Anyway, the canteen usually just cooks some thin porridge, stir-fries a few vegetables and wild greens, and then washes pots and pans, so the requirements for staff are not too high.

The second large canteen, shared by the fourth, fifth, and sixth production teams, was headed by a chef named Sun Tianfu. He looked like a natural-born cook, with a big head and ears.

At this moment, Sun Tianfu was sitting on a bamboo chair, watching the three women washing dishes. The four of them were chatting and laughing.

The production team had just started work, and the four of them didn't have to rush to prepare dinner yet, so they had two hours to relax.

Zhang Jiwu appeared, slowly walking towards the main dining hall.

That basket of rabbits weighed less than 100 jin (50 catties), but Zhang Jiwu had walked such a long distance that the load on his body was extremely heavy, and now he could barely walk.

Upon seeing this, Sun Tianfu showed a hint of doubt and stood up.

“Zhang Jiwu, why aren’t you at work? What are you doing in the canteen? We just had lunch, and you’re already trying to get some extra nutrition?”

Sun Tianfu couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark when he saw Zhang Jiwu's burly physique.

"Chef Sun, don't laugh at me. Come and help me, you'll be pleasantly surprised."

Zhang Jiwu was exhausted and had no time to joke with Sun Tianfu.

Upon hearing this, and seeing the basket on Zhang Jiwu's back, Sun Tianfu felt a sudden urge and quickly walked over, taking the basket with both hands.

This bamboo basket has gaps. Sun Tianfu felt its weight and then saw rabbit fur sticking out of it. His eyes widened immediately.

"Where...where did you catch so many wild rabbits?"

Sun Tianfu was indeed extremely shocked.

In this era, obtaining meat is extremely difficult.

Meat and vegetables are only seen when pigs are slaughtered for the New Year, or when a family has a wedding or funeral.

Of course, sometimes members of the commune would get lucky and hunt rabbits, field mice, and snakes, but it was the first time anyone had ever seen someone catch more than twenty rabbits like Zhang Jiwu.

"Yun Yazi and I were assigned to catch wild rabbits. We didn't expect the wild rabbits to be so rampant. We only set a few traps and caught this whole basketful."

"Chef Sun, hurry up and count them, I still need to go up the mountain to catch rabbits."

Zhang Jiwu did not take all the credit for himself, and also mentioned Zhang Yun's name.

Based on these twenty-odd wild rabbits alone, the brigade leader must give Zhang Jiwu and Zhang Yun a great reward, whether it's a reward of work points or a larger share of rabbit meat.

"Zhang Jiwu, you've really struck it lucky! So many wild rabbits, and they're all alive! We can even cut up whole rabbit skins from them, and this rabbit meat will definitely improve the meals at our second canteen."

Sun Tianfu said happily.

For a chef, the moment of greatest satisfaction is when they have the opportunity to prepare a grand meal.

Seeing so many live wild rabbits, Sun Tianfu was filled with excitement and had a strong desire to show off his skills.

The two quickly handed over the rabbits and counted them; there were 25 rabbits.

Zhang Jiwu carried his basket and headed towards Songshu Mountain, while Sun Tianfu took his knife and prepared to gut the 25 wild rabbits.

When they returned to Stone Mountain, Zhang Jiwu found Zhang Yun still asleep and shook his head.

"What did you do last night to sleep for so long?"

"Forget it, I'll just go set the trap by myself."

Zhang Jiwu still didn't wake Zhang Yun. He cut a few more sweet potato vines that had been bitten by the rabbits, and then set up the snare traps in the same places as before.

About ten minutes later, Zhang Jiwu went to check the trap with high hopes, but found no rabbits caught in it.

"That's strange. I clearly saw wild rabbits active around, so why didn't the snare trap catch a single one this time?"

Filled with doubt, Zhang Jiwu returned to Stone Mountain and sat down next to Zhang Yun in the shade under the boulder.

The two men, uncle and nephew, spent a quiet afternoon, one sleeping and the other feeling depressed.

At 5 p.m., the captain of the fifth production team blew his whistle to signal that everyone could stop working.

"Yun Ya Zi, are you still sleeping? Wake up, it's time to get off work."

Zhang Jiwu turned his head and looked at Zhang Yun's sleeping appearance, and had to shake Zhang Yun's shoulder.

Under the influence of external forces, Zhang Yun, who was initially drowsy, finally opened his sleepy eyes. Upon hearing his third uncle's words, Zhang Yun immediately realized that he had slept all afternoon.

"I didn't expect that controlling the spiritual spring space would consume so much energy. I'll have to be more careful next time."

Zhang Yun thought to himself, but then stood up.

"Third Uncle, should we check the trap to see if it has caught any rabbits?"

Zhang Yun said with a smile.

“I just checked, there isn’t a single rabbit.”

"Forget it, let's just leave those rope traps there. Maybe when those wild rabbits come to this rocky hill tonight, they'll step on the hooks."

Zhang Jiwu stopped Zhang Yun, who wanted to rush to Songshushan, and said with a smile.

"Then...we didn't catch a single rabbit all afternoon. We're going to get a lecture from the captain when we get back."

Zhang Yun laughed.

At this moment, Zhang Yun was wondering whether he should secretly take out two or three of the twenty-odd dead wild rabbits from the spiritual spring space, so that he could deal with the situation and complete the task of catching rabbits.

"Yun Yazi, while you were sleeping, I caught 25 wild rabbits and sent them back to the cafeteria a long time ago."

"Alright, don't worry, we can go back now with our heads held high."

Zhang Jiwu said smugly.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yun understood. It seemed that sprinkling the spring water on the sweet potato vines had worked. Although he had fallen asleep due to excessive energy consumption, the sweet potato vines had successfully lured out the wild rabbits, allowing his third uncle to reap a great benefit.

Naturally, Zhang Yun wouldn't reveal the truth, letting his third uncle boast about it and make him happy.

Then, the two uncles and nephews, carrying baskets and machetes, strode back to the village.

We arrived at the Old Camphor Tree Square, where some members of the production team had already gathered.

Half of the members of the fifth production team have returned from their respective fields and are now gathered in one place.

Captain Zhang Boshu, who is also Zhang Yun's uncle, was talking to his three sons when he saw Zhang Yun and Zhang Jiwu return. He immediately stood up and blocked their way.

“Third brother, the brigade leader sent you two to catch rabbits, but the baskets are empty. Aren’t you two incompetent? This is a huge disgrace to our Fifth Team.”

With an arrogant and stern expression, Zhang Boshu began to lecture the two men in a righteous and stern manner.
