Chapter 134 Catching Pigeons
This is too simple.
And just like that the bird was caught.
The key point is that this bird is quite big and it is not a sparrow.
Several people's eyes lit up with excitement.
Wang Yueshan looked at the group of children and then at the birds over there who were unaware of anything. He didn't even notice that two birds were missing.
At this time, another one fell down, but they were just curious. Could there be something more delicious underneath?
In this way, several birds fell down together, and finally the two remaining birds realized that there was danger.
It flew away with a "puff".
"Wow~ Uncle, you are so awesome." Zhao Shihui's eyes were shining and he quickly ran towards the cave entrance, not even caring about his little sister.
"Uncle is so awesome. He caught several big birds this time. I wonder what kind of birds they are?" Zhao Shisheng leaned forward curiously.
"This is pigeon, stewed into soup." Wang Yueshan said with a smile.
"Wow, then I'll drink pigeon soup at night. I've never drunk pigeon soup before." Zhao Shiying clapped her hands.
Zhao Shihui was also very excited, as he had never tasted this soup before.
"Then we'll have a treat tonight." Zhao Shisheng grinned. He was also looking forward to it.
Jinbao and Tietou looked at Zhao Shisheng, Zhao Shihui and Wang Yueshan eagerly.
"Uncle, we want to drink soup too." The two shouted in unison.
Wang Yueshan smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Although I was surprised that I suddenly had two nephews because of pigeons, I didn’t feel lazy.
"Oh yeah, we can have bird soup in the evening too." The two of them high-fived excitedly.
Everyone: “….” Bird soup from No.2 Middle School!!!
Wang Yueshan pushed the bamboo strips down and saw what was happening underneath.
Zhao Shimin smiled, and then looked at Wang Yueshan: "Uncle, let's collect the pigeons, and then try again to see if we can catch more pigeons."
"Okay!" Wang Yueshan nodded.
Let Zhao Shisheng open the bag and catch them one by one.
There were actually six pigeons.
"Wow, six of them, enough to make a big pot of soup." Jinbao licked his lips after saying that. The meat was so delicious.
"Uncle, should I go back and put these pigeons down first and then get the cloth bag?" Zhao Shihui said.
"No need, I'll tie the opening tightly and stuff it into the thick grass over there." Wang Yueshan said.
"Okay." Zhao Shihui was still very happy. It turned out that having their uncle around made their experiences different.
"Wait a minute, let's get some green leaves to make a simple cover." Wang Yueshan said and then he saw a few people.
"Okay, I'll get it done." Zhao Shisheng nodded. He had long felt that something was missing.
Jinbao and Tietou also hurriedly followed and soon brought back stones and green branches with leaves, which they inserted directly around the trap.
So a new round of arrests began.
Several people quickly lay down in the grass. Wang Yueshan stuffed the cloth bag into a pile of thick grass and squatted down as well.
This time the wait was longer.
A quarter of an hour later, a few birds flew over.
Zhao Shiying almost couldn't hold on and had to get up.
Fortunately, Wang Yueshan stopped it.
Then I saw a few birds flying in the sky, stopping and starting to eat the wheat grains.
This time the bird was about the same size as the previous pigeon, but its feathers were a different color and it was not the same pigeon as before.
The fur on its body is all black and white stripes, which looks pretty nice.
A total of five birds flew down, and they all looked quite big.
Then, one fell down with a gulp, and one fell down with a gulp.
The children watching were very excited. This time catching birds was much more interesting than last time.
And this bird is even dumber.
After waiting for a while, there were only three birds left, and another one was falling.
Zhao Shiying clenched her fists excitedly and said, "Go down quickly, go down quickly."
The bird fluttered twice and then fell down.
The other two birds did not walk onto the bamboo strips, but walked under the branches and ate the wheat grains.
Image from the Internet: This is roughly the same principle as catching birds. Because there was no cardboard in ancient times, bamboo strips were used instead.
Zhao Shisheng also saw it and thought it was a bad idea.
You shouldn't have scattered the wheat grains under the branches. Now the birds won't take the bait.
The two birds flew away only after they had eaten and drunk their fill.
Everyone was so depressed.
They were almost stiff, and the key was that they lay there unable to move. Finally, Zhao Shiying couldn't stand it anymore and made a noise, and the birds flew away, but they were already full.
"Oh, I'm so tired." Zhao Shiying said with a bitter face.
"We have waited for a long time this time, but why don't you get up?" Wang Yueshan looked at everyone with a smile, and this time it was also strange.
Everyone's patience has obviously improved a lot.
Wang Yueshan was quite pleased.
"Uncle, it's not that we don't want to get up, it's that you didn't say we could get up?" Zhao Shiying had an expression that said it was all her fault, which made Wang Yueshan stunned, and then he suddenly burst into laughter.
This was the first time he was wrongly accused for no apparent reason. He felt so wronged!
But he was also very happy that the children were actually waiting for him to give orders.
"That's one aspect. On the other hand, I think that the bird is full this time, and next time it might attract more birds to come and eat. We are playing the long game to catch a big fish." Zhao Shisheng said with a frown.
"Good! Shengzi has some good ideas." Wang Yueshan praised.
"Uncle, let's catch the bird." Zhao Shihui said.
"Yes, catch a bird, but what kind of bird is this?" Jin Bao asked curiously.
"It should be quail, but I'm not sure. Let's take it back and we'll know." Wang Yueshan said with a smile.
"Great, let's make soup together tonight. Jinbao and Tietou, come to my house for dinner?" Zhao Shihui invited.
"Okay, okay, I won't be polite then," said Jin Bao.
"I was still wondering how I could have bird soup tonight. I didn't expect it to be at your house. I will definitely come." Tietou grinned so hard. The dishes cooked by Huizi's mother were so delicious.
His father came home to show off several times and even ate a few pieces of meat made by his mother, but his father still felt that the food was more delicious at other people's homes.
Now he can also taste Huizi’s family’s food, that’s great!
The little ones were very happy.
Wang Yueshan put the three birds into a cloth bag and walked towards the end of the village with a group of radish heads.
On the way, she met the fat guy from last time and a few other little kids. Her envious eyes made Zhao Shiying raise her head proudly.
Humph! Look, this is her uncle, and he will take them to catch birds.
When they reached the end of the village, Zhao Shisheng was the first to enter the yard.
"Mom, we're back. Please make pigeon soup for us in the evening. Jinbao and Tietou will have dinner at our house. Huizi has already invited them." Zhao Shisheng is a quick-mouthed, quick-legged and quick-handed man.
Having said that, he ran first and pushed open the gate of the courtyard, and the people behind him came in one after another.
"Oh, did you get anything today?" Wang Ronghua asked with a smile as she looked at Zhao Shisheng who came in first.
After all, he returned empty-handed last time and even caught the chickens at home and took them away as birds, but that didn't make Wang Ronghua angry to death.
"Sister, we caught nine this time, six pigeons and three should be quails." Wang Yueshan smiled and raised the cloth bag a little.
At this moment, the bird in the cloth bag moved in response to the situation and made some sounds.
"Oh, so much! You will have a great evening."
