Chapter 380 : Im Sure Its Easy to Get
Chapter 380: it's definitely easy to get.
Back home, lunch was ready. During the meal, Li Haitang handed over the cooking tools to the liao brothers and sisters and asked them to take the time in the afternoon to buy the fishing tools and hunting tools that they did not have at home. He planned to let Jiang Chuheng and Liao Minghui go to get addicted tomorrow.
Jiang Chuheng still had to work in the afternoon. After dinner, he took a short rest and went back to work.
Li Haitang took the two children to take a nap at home. In the afternoon, he accompanied the two children to review what they had learned in the first year of kindergarten so that they could slowly get into shape and get ready to start the new semester.
When the three of them came out of the study, the liao brothers and sisters had already bought the tools for the picnic and were playing with them in the small garden. An' an was very curious about these things and ran over to squat beside them and asked, "Elder brother Jie, this bow and arrow is so big. What is it for hunting?"
"The store owner said that pheasants and rabbits can be hunted. I bought the best quality. He said that if I was lucky enough to meet wild boars, this would work too." Liao Jie didn't think that they would be lucky enough to meet the boar tomorrow. He just wanted to see if he could hunt a pheasant.
"Wild boar." An' an recalled the appearance of the wild boar in the animal appreciation book. He remembered that it was dark and different from the pigs he raised at home. He asked curiously, "Elder brother Jie, have you ever seen a wild boar?"
"Yes, once in my hometown. The old hunters in our village formed a team to hunt during the new year. It happened to be snowing heavily that year. A wild boar couldn't find food in the mountain and came down to hunt. Fortunately, they caught it. That wild boar was so big, it weighed over 200 kilograms, and it was very fierce. At that time, seven or eight of them took a lot of effort to kill it." When Liao Jie introduced him, he used his hand to measure the length of the boar.
"So big?" An' an had never seen a wild boar in real life, and his mouth was so wide open that it could fit into an egg.
"It's over 200 pounds. It's a big one. It's dark and has sharp fangs on its mouth."
Duoduo, who was standing behind his brother, immediately answered, "We've seen pictures of wild boars in books, just like brother jie said."
"If only dad could hunt a wild boar for a picnic tomorrow." An' an was imagining that instead of craving for wild boar meat, he simply wanted to grab one and see what he really looked like.
Li Haitang, who walked over at some point in time, held a cup of water in his hand and smiled gently, "It's hard to hunt wild boars this season, and the mountains here are not high, so the chances of wild boars appearing are slim. We'll go back to grandpa's house this new year. There are many mountains over there and wild boars often appear in winter. Let father and uncle look for them in the mountains."
Both brother and sister's eyes lit up. They asked in unison, "Mom, have you seen wild boars?"
"Yes, many times when I was a child. Every winter, wild boars could not find food in the mountains. Sometimes, they would come down in groups to find food. They always ate the crops near the mountains. The farmers hated them. Every time we meet a wild boar, everyone runs around and tells us that the whole village chases and catches them with simple hunting tools. Sometimes, if we are lucky, we can catch one or two of them for the chinese new year." The memory in Li Haitang's mind showed that the original owner had followed the crowd when he was a child. Of course, it was purely for the crowd. It was impossible to catch it.
Duoduo looked up and asked curiously, "Mom, is that wild boar meat good to eat?"
Li Haitang smiled, "Mom only ate it once. It's not bad. It's a little sweeter than pork."
"Then let's go to grandpa's house for the new year and ask dad to catch one in the mountains to eat." Duoduo felt that wild boars were everywhere in the mountains. She believed that her father's skill would be easy to get.
Li Haitang raised his eyebrows and smiled, "We'll see then. If there happens to be wild boars coming down the mountain, then naturally don't miss out on a good opportunity."
"Mom, tomorrow we will go for a picnic. We will go to the mountains. Can we follow dad to the mountains to catch pheasants?" An' an asked.
"No." Li Haitang shook his head decisively and explained to them, "It's still august and september, and the weather is still hot. There are often poisonous snakes and insects in the mountains. You are too young to go to the mountains safely. Besides, dad and the others go hunting halfway up the mountains. They can't take care of you when they hunt. Tomorrow, mom will take you for a walk at the bottom of the mountain and pick some wild fruits and vegetables. When you grow up, let dad take you hunting in the mountains."
"Okay." The siblings were a little disappointed.
Seeing that the two of them were not in high spirits, liao shan smiled shyly and told them, "An' an, Duoduo, there are a lot of delicious wild fruits in the mountains, such as mulberries, wild pomegranates and wild grapes. They are all delicious. They can also pick honeysuckle and chrysanthemum, and they can also pick black fungus and wild mushrooms to eat."
"But we don't know each other." An' an said.
"We know each other. We grew up in the countryside and often went up the mountain with the children in the village to pick them. I'll teach you tomorrow." Since Liao Shan came to school in the capital city, he had hardly gone into the mountains to play. He was still looking forward to his trip tomorrow.
"Okay, then we'll carry the basket tomorrow." Duoduo was imagining coming back with a big basket tomorrow.
Li Haitang smiled, "Just carry a light cloth bag. The basket is too heavy. You can't carry it."
"Then I'll go pack now. I'll take the cloth bag with the bunny printed on it that I bought in Guangcheng." Duoduo was in a good mood, so he immediately turned around and ran back to his room to start rummaging.
Duoduo, don't rummage through the closet. First think about where the cloth bag is. Then go and look for it. Don't rummage around. Aunt yu mei can't help you clean it up." Li Haitang urged her. After all, the two children were still a little young. They had the ability to rummage through things, but they still lacked the ability to tidy up.
Squatting down, An' an suddenly stood up and ran after his sister. He was still loudly reminding her, "Duoduo, I know where it is. I'll take it for you. Don't rummage around."
When the brothers and sisters went to prepare the cloth bags, Peng Yumei came over and said, "Haitang, bring some frozen shrimp and pork tomorrow, and some cold stir-fries and marinated vegetables, okay?"
"Sure, we don't need to prepare too much. It's just the two of us. If the two men really didn't get anything, let's look around for some wild vegetables and have a simple meal." Li Haitang looked at the fishing net on the ground. She thought that it would be difficult for men to hunt in the mountains. It should be okay to get two fish to eat in the river.
"Don't worry about that. It's not difficult for people who grew up in the mountains to get something to eat." Peng Yumei smiled. They were both from the countryside. Liao Minghui had been a soldier in the army for many years. There was no need for him to survive in the wild. It was not a problem to get some wild vegetables back.
Liao jie, who was still fiddling with bows and arrows, looked up and smiled, "Teacher li, don't worry. Even if my dad and his family didn't get anything to eat, I could catch fish in the water. I wouldn't have left the food in the pot at a critical time."
"Okay, I'll leave tomorrow's wild vegetables to you." Li Haitang smiled.
