Start by traveling through the Widow's Village

After Tang Wanshun's explanation, Xiao Yuan learned that the grain in this corn field was their guarantee in winter, and now that such a large piece was destroyed by wild boars, they were afraid that their winter life would be difficult.

Xiao Yuan didn't have a good way to do this kind of thing, and he couldn't conjure up food.

"So be it! Today you arranged a few people to follow me up the mountain, when I went up the mountain yesterday, I found that there were still a lot of wild vegetables on the mountain, get some back, so that you can also make up for the loss of food! After thinking about it, Xiao Yuan said to Tang Wanshun.

"Good!" When Tang Wanshun heard this, her eyes lit up, nodded, and replied.

"Also, you can go to the river and take a look, I guess there should be fish in it, it's still some time before winter, let's try to store as much food as possible!" Xiao Yuan continued.

"But... The fish there is yours, we used to take ... Isn't it? Tang Wanshun glanced at Xiao Yuan and said hesitantly.

"Nothing bad, in the future, we will only need half of the fish there, and the rest will be divided by everyone!" How do you see it? Xiao Yuan looked at Tang Wanshun and said with a smile.

Although the trap was made by him, the river was not his, and now everyone didn't say anything, but after a long time, the rest of the people could not have a little idea in their hearts.

So now Xiao Yuan proposed that only half of the fish seemed to be a loss, but in fact it was a big advantage.

Tang Wanshun looked at Xiao Yuan thoughtfully, nodded and said, "I will convey your kindness to everyone!" Although

she is not the most respected person in the village, nor is she the village chief, everyone is usually willing to obey her arrangement, and she is also the only literate existence in the village before Xiao Yuan came.

"Or... We make a trap here? Although the fence is not bad, when there is no one at night, it is estimated that it will not be able to stop those beasts! After watching everyone work together to repair the fence, Xiao Yuan felt that it was not very safe, so he opened his mouth and proposed.

"Trap? What traps? Perhaps because of the trap of fishing before, everyone was a little curious about Xiao Yuan's proposal.

"It's just digging a big hole here!" Xiao Yuan picked up a branch, drew a few lines outside the fence, and said, "This can be a good way to prevent wild beasts from entering the corn field!" "

A trench-like existence?" Tang Wanshun looked at the traces drawn by Xiao Yuan, and after thinking about it, asked.

"It's kind of similar, but it's not the same as a trench!" Xiao Yuan looked at Tang Wanshun with some surprise, the other party actually knew about the trench? This kind of thing is not known to ordinary people.

However, he did not ask more, but continued: "When we are done, we will spread some branches with leaves on it for camouflage, and then there may be a surprise!" "

You mean... Catching wild boars? Tang Wanshun's eyes lit up and asked.

Xiao Yuan shook his head and replied, "No one can guarantee this kind of thing, only to say that there is such a possibility!" If we can really catch wild boars, it will be good news for our food storage!

The eyes of everyone looking at Xiao Yuan immediately became different, although he said so, but everyone who has seen his fishing trap knows that it is quite clever, if they can really catch wild boar, then they may be able to open meat and eat a little meat.

It's already very good to be able to eat a full stomach this year, let alone eat meat or something, many people don't even know what meat tastes like.

You must know that it has only been a few years since the troubled times, and even now, thieves are still flooded, especially in the South River Road where they are located, because it is close to the northern ghost wolf country, and the wars are more frequent.

In the Central Plains, because they are recuperating, life is much better.

So after Xiao Yuan proposed to make traps, Tang Wanshun didn't think about it and directly agreed: "Then you make traps here, we will help you!" As for the matter of digging wild vegetables... Didn't Yuniang follow you last time? Does she recognize it?

Yuniang, who was following behind Xiao Yuan, quickly waved her hand and said, "Although I have dug a lot by watching Xianggong, I don't dare to guarantee it!"

"It's okay, Xiaoyu, you go back and get some wild vegetables, I'll teach everyone how to identify, and then you take them to the piece where we dug wild vegetables last time, there should be no problem!" When you come back, show me the wild vegetables, and I'll pick them out for you!" Xiao Yuan patted Yuniang's head and said with a smile.

"Well, that's it! Let's split up and try to fix the trap within today! Tang Wan heard this and said directly.

So after Yuniang brought the wild vegetables from home, Xiao Yuan gave a simple science popularization to the people in the village, and then instructed the rest of the people to start digging pits.

By the time Yuniang returned with people, Xiao Yuan had also dug several large pits about two meters deep, and they were cutting bamboo at this time.

This is also the method Xiao Yuan thought of, cutting the bamboo into a sharp point, and then burying it at the bottom of the pit, so that the beast that fell into it should have no possibility of coming out alive.

"Xianggong, look quickly, we dug a lot of wild vegetables today!" Yuniang handed the bamboo building she was carrying to Xiao Yuan and asked him to check it.

"Okay, everyone take a break first, I'll see if there is any problem with the wild vegetables that Xiaoyu and the girls picked back, and then let's continue to work and strive to finish before sunset!" Xiao Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile to the villagers who were laying traps.

"Mr. Xiao go to see it, we all know what to do, and when you finish checking the wild vegetables, just come over and accept our trap!"

"That's right, that's right, Mr. Xiao just rested and followed us all day!"

The villagers did not mean to rest, but smiled and let Xiao Yuan rest.

Xiao Yuan smiled helplessly, and did not say anything more, but directly began to check the wild vegetables that Yuniang had picked back.

It doesn't matter if anything else, he is afraid that someone will eat poisonous plants, and if he accidentally eats them at that time, it will be an absolute disaster for the village.

In the morning, Tang Wanshun asked people to go to the river to collect fish, but Xiaozhu and several people came back with a large wooden barrel, I am afraid that there are at least a dozen large fish in it, and Xiao Yuan immediately felt that the eyes of the surrounding villagers looked at him with awe, which was respect for knowledge and ability.

Especially after Tang Wanshun told everyone that Xiao Yuan voluntarily gave half of the fish he got back from the river to everyone, the attitude of the villagers towards him changed a lot.

Soon, after checking all the wild vegetables and removing some plants that Xiao Yuan himself did not recognize, he handed the wild vegetables to Yuniang, and they could add them to the corn at dinner.

After having wild vegetables, corn can be consumed less, and now there is not much stock in the village, and before the autumn harvest, many people have begun to drink porridge, just to save some more rations to cope with the winter after the autumn harvest.

This is not only the case in their village, but also in several surrounding villages, and every winter Nanhe Dao does not know how many people starve and freeze to death.

By the time Xiao Yuan came over, the trap here had basically been made.

"Is that all right?" Tang Wanshun hesitated and asked.

In her opinion, such a big pit, even if it is a beast, it will not stupidly jump into it!?

"There is still the last step left, you can finish work!" Xiao Yuan smiled, put the branches that had been prepared long ago on the trap, and then spread some leaves and dust, so that it was completely impossible to see that it was a trap.

"It's really..." Everyone was stunned, before spreading the leaves and dust, they all felt that even if it was a beast, it should not be easily deceived, but now, let alone a beast, even an unsuspecting human being, I am afraid that it will fall.

"Wait and tell the villagers about the trap here, don't accidentally fall down!" Xiao Yuan clapped his hands and said with a smile.

Tang Wanshun nodded, indicating understanding.

With such a trap, for the first time in her heart, she expected those beasts to come quickly.

After a day's work, everyone began to slowly return home, and tonight's dinner was not only wild vegetables, but also fresh fish harvested in the morning, and the traps on the corn field were also made, so everyone was very happy.

"Xianggong, are you back? The meal is ready, the fish is marinated according to your requirements, what are you going to do? When Xiao Yuan came back, Xiaozhu and Yuniang had already prepared the meal and were waiting for him to return.

"I'll show you grilled fish today! It's a pity that a lot of seasoning is missing, but the taste should not be too bad! Xiao Yuan replied with a smile.

When Xiaozhu got the fish back in the morning, Xiao Yuan let her say that she would wait until she came back to make fish.

After eating corn and rice for so many days, Xiao Yuan was already a little impatient to open the meat.

But the final result made him a little disappointed.

"It's so delicious, Xianggong, why don't you eat it?" Seeing that Xiao Yuan only tried a few bites and then slowed down the speed of eating, Yuniang asked a little puzzled.

She had tried it just now and it was really delicious.

"It's delicious, you two will eat more, now is the time to grow your body, you can't eat those corn rice every day!" Xiao Yuan smiled and replied.

The taste of the grilled fish is indeed not bad, but it is too different from what he used to eat, and the grilled fish without seasoning... No soul!

However, compared to the current standard of living, it is already very delicious, so Xiao Yuan also ate a large bowl of corn and rice with grilled fish.

"Xianggong, the grilled fish you made is so delicious, it's just not cost-effective, let's eat it according to the original method in the future!" After eating, Xiaozhu Bar chirped and whispered to Xiao Yuan.

It was obvious that she was very satisfied with the taste of the grilled fish, which could be seen from her unfinished appearance, but Xiao Yuan also knew why she said that.

Three whole grilled fish, the three of them eat, but they feel that they are not full at all, if the original stew method, the three people will not be able to finish eating, at least they can leave some soup and fish meat to eat tomorrow.

That's why she doesn't think grilling fish is cost-effective.
