Golden Fishing Village

In the past two years, bamboos have been planted on the mountains and wild rats have been hunted. With fewer competitors and more food, how can the number of land plots not increase?

Ao Muyang was secretly glad that fortunately Ao Mufeng discovered this matter, otherwise if the Dipi sub-group continued to expand, it would be difficult to deal with it if it became a disaster in the future.

Now it is not difficult to clean up the land. Ao Muyang shouted in the village again, and the whole village immediately started to search for the land all over the mountain. This enthusiasm was much greater than that of looking for bamboo insects.

The reason for this is that after peeling off the skin and removing the internal organs, the ground bark can be roasted or stewed. The meat tastes no worse than rabbit. Marmots have been used as food since ancient times.

The bones left after eating all the meat are also useful, especially the skull, which can be soaked in wine. Although this thing cannot be said to be a treasure in its entirety, it is of great value to fishermen.

There is value and there is harm.

All over the mountains and plains are the figures of villagers grabbing the dirt. There are many tricks to deal with the dirt, the most common one is the smoke and fire method.

First, delineate a piece of land, then find a hole in the ground, prop up a net at the hole, then find a hole and stuff half-dried bamboo leaves or leaves sprinkled with water, so that thick smoke will flow into the underground cave.

Dipizi are not resistant to smoke. They live underground all year round. Their ears and eyes have degenerated, but their sense of smell has been enhanced. Their olfactory nerves are very developed.

So, as the thick smoke billowed in the cave, the landowners exploded their nests and rushed out. There was a net waiting outside. They got in one by one, and no one could escape.

The weasels were so frightened when they saw this scene that they took the time to pack their luggage and move their families to the mountains.

Youfu gathered a group of weasels as a team. He was very smart and led the weasels to drive away the land for Ao Muyang. Weasels don't like to burrow underground, but they have small heads and small bodies. They have this ability and they perform well.

This made Lao Ao very embarrassed. There were too many weasels on the mountain, which had destroyed a certain balance. He wanted to change this situation.

But it is not easy to deal with weasels. The villagers are keen to capture the land parcels because they can be eaten and made into wine, but weasels cannot eat them. They also say that in superstitious terms this is Wong Tai Sin.

In addition, weasels are blessed to be protected. It would not be good for him to attack weasels.

At present, the increase in the number of weasels has not caused direct damage to the ecological environment, so he will ignore it for the time being.

Lu Wuyi and Jiang Caoqi followed them to catch the land. Seeing the grand scene in the village, they were amazed for a moment.

"This is really a rat crossing the street, and everyone is shouting to beat him up."

"It's not that simple. The flesh of the ground bark can eat the bones and has traditional Chinese medicine value, so the people in our village are so keen on catching them." Ao Wenchang explained.

"What is the value of traditional Chinese medicine?"

"Drinking it with wine can drive away the wind and cold. Later, you can get some white wine and soak some small tiger bones. You won't feel cold this winter."

Lu Wuyi thought about it for a while and said, "If we find a way to make the people believe that eating little devils can lead to immortality, will this mean we can exterminate the devil nation?"

"What a fucking genius you are!"

Ao Muyang didn't think Dipizi really had any effect on improving eyesight, refreshing the mind, and dispelling wind and cold. He thought it was all nonsense, because these effects were inferred by traditional Chinese medicine.

Since ancient times, Chinese medicine has advocated the use of shape to complement shape. Because Dipizi can survive underground without light, people think it has clear vision and sharp eyes. And because they are cold-resistant and can be active in winter, people think their bones can dispel wind and cold. effect.

In fact, this is all a misunderstanding. The reason why earthworms can survive underground is because they have poor vision and their eyes have degenerated. And they can be active in winter because underground caves keep them warm...

Lu Wuyi was smart. He also thought about this clearly and asked Ao Muyang.

Ao Muyang said: "You are right, we don't eat this land, nor do we use it to make wine."

Lu Wuji said excitedly: "Not only can we not eat it, but we can't let the people in the village eat it either."

Ao Muyang said: "This is not necessary..."

"Why is it not necessary? What if there are viruses and bacteria on the land that are transmitted to your villagers? What if there are bacteria and viruses in the bones when making wine?"

"It's okay. If you want to eat it, you have to either stew it under high pressure or roast it. What kind of bacteria and viruses can't be killed by roasting? When you make wine, you use high-quality liquor. What kind of viruses and bacteria can survive soaking in alcohol?" Ao Muyang said patiently.

Lu Wuji became more energetic and said, "That's absolutely not possible. It's not upright to do this. Brother-in-law, are you afraid that I will tell the villagers that the field hides cannot be eaten, which will affect your plan to capture the field hides?"

Having said this, he looked disappointed: "Brother-in-law, I didn't expect you to be such a village chief."

"Okay, okay, good upright young man, you go to the village and tell the big guys about the inedible food from this land." Ao Muyang put the insect pupae into the bamboo tube, and then put the bamboo tube in In the fire.

Fire-roasting insect pupae and bamboo worms is a very simple matter. Just put them in a bamboo tube and roast them over fire.

Under the scorching flames, after a while, a crackling sound came from the bamboo tube.

There were also quarrels outside:

"I'm doing this for your own good. There's nothing wrong with my reasoning. Why don't you believe me?"

"Is your reasoning more useful or the experience passed down by your ancestors?"

"That's right, my grandfather used young tiger bones to make wine all his life, and his bones are very strong even when he is old."

"..."

When it was time for dinner, Lu Wuyi came back dejected. Ao Muyang saw that there were still a few scratches on his face, so he asked, "Hey, what happened to you? Were you caught stealing?"

Lu Wuyi said dejectedly, "No, I saw a kid eating roasted mice and wanted to throw it to him, but he scratched it. That little bastard is really heartless."

Ao Muyang snorted, "You are just looking for trouble, understand?"

But the young man's mind was still good. Old Ao rarely gave him a good face. He personally applied hydrogen peroxide to his wounds for disinfection and served him a small bowl of roasted insect pupae.

Under the dark fire, the insect pupae were golden in color, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They made a crackling sound in the mouth and were full of fragrance.

The activity of catching ground skins continued. In the first few days of November, people from several surrounding villages were catching ground skins on the mountain. Ao Muyang had to supervise the whole process because someone set fire to the ground skin nest, which could easily cause forest fires.

On November 4, the Meteorological Observatory issued a winter gale warning, and a winter typhoon was about to land in Hongyang.

This news suppressed the craze for fishing for groundfish, and since most of the groundfish had been caught in the past two days, the villagers focused on the sea again.

The fishing boats that went out to sea returned one after another, and after returning to the port, each fishing boat was reinforced and fixed. This typhoon came from the southern waters, and according to the detection of the Meteorological Observatory, the wind was strong!
