Era: Start as a buyer

There is no hoe or shovel here, and it is difficult to dig a soft-shell turtle hole. Remember the location first. The people who are working in the fields will be back later, and then you can borrow it to dig soft-shell turtles.

Two big ones and one small one have been harvested, plus the holes discovered by the two girls. In the end, Luo Cheng kept some oil residue for himself and distributed the rest.

For those who couldn't find it, just stick it a little with your hands and give it to them, three or five at most. Not willing to find anything, he asked Luo Cheng if he wanted them to look for him in the afternoon. But Luo Cheng refused, and the oil residue was almost divided. I don’t know if the ones caught now can be taken to the future space for disposal.

At lunch time, some of the children who couldn't find the turtle were beaten, and some were not. Because he spoke quickly, it was Luo Cheng who asked him to look for soft-shelled turtles in the fields. Those who found them were given a small bowl of oil residue, and those who didn't find them were given a few to taste.

And whoever gets the lard residue will be a surprise to the family. Today's eating bowls are not small, and half a bowl is about two taels. You must know that this is lard residue. It takes about half a catty of fat to boil out two ounces of lard residue.

It is definitely not possible to eat this as a snack. Naturally, it is stir-fried in vegetables. If you put a little bit in the stir-fry vegetables, the whole dish will have the aroma of oily residue. Save half a bowl of oil residue, it can last for several days.

It's a pity that this good thing is just this once. Luo Cheng has no lard residue, and there is no need for children to catch it for the time being. If they still need it, they act like adults and catch it themselves. They are more experienced than children. They can be found in the fields, but they are basically turtles that come out to move around. There are not many. The turtles are active only late at night.

To catch soft-shell turtles during the day, digging holes is more reliable. That guy Luo Cheng doesn't farm. He just runs into the mountains every day. What can he know?

The soft-shell turtle is not delicious, the earthy smell is too strong, and there is not much meat. Small turtles produce less than half the meat, and larger ones are better. Let’s put it this way, if there is a one-pound fish or a two-pound turtle, everyone will choose the fish.

Luo Cheng ate steamed buns with lard residue for lunch, which was really delicious. The sun was strong at noon, and farmers basically didn't go out to work at noon. Da Mao's family, Lao Zhang, had a hoe. Luo Cheng didn't ask to borrow it, but directly asked Lao Zhang to help dig it. Today he gave several of his children lard residue to eat, and even asked Da Mao to take some home.

It is only natural that he should ask Lao Zhang to dig a turtle hole for him and eat so much of his oil residue. Although he used firewood from his home to make the fire, would people in the township be short of firewood? It just takes a little effort to go to the mountains.

After avoiding the hottest time at noon, I called Da Mao and his father to set off with the hoe, and Da Mao marked the spot. But Lao Zhang said that it was actually easy to find the turtle holes without marking them, but the two girls said the turtles were as big as cow dung, so they could be dug. No one is willing to take the initiative to dig for small turtles.

And when we got to the place, the digging was not something done by human beings. The more we dug, the more it looked like that. Burying people would only make such a big noise. Surprisingly, after digging for more than an hour, we still couldn't dig more than one meter deep. When you dig such a deep pit, puddles will naturally appear. The surface of the field is dry, but once you dig, there will be moist soil. If you dig deeper, puddles will appear.

I saw bubbles spitting out of the puddle at the entrance of the cave, which meant that I was almost digging. And the hole can be dug so deep. Lao Zhang said that it might be a big deal. Generally, turtle holes are only about half a meter deep. This hole is really deep.

And when it was completely dug out, it gave Luo Cheng a surprise, which was not an exaggeration. Instead, there are two big turtles inside, one big and one small. The smaller one is just smaller than the larger one.

This big turtle is actually easier to catch than the smaller turtle, because the head of the two-pound turtle can reach half of its back. But it is definitely impossible for the soft-shelled turtle in front of me. It must be able to stretch half of its body, hehe~~hehe~~hehe.

I brought a sack with me this time, so I caught both of them and threw them into the sack. After returning home, Luo Cheng didn't bother to thank Lao Zhang anymore. It took a lot of effort for him to dig out the turtle, but the lard residue given to his children today was enough to pay him for digging for so long.

After getting the turtle back, there was no place to put it, so Luo Cheng asked Lao Zhang to borrow a large wooden basin. Many families have this wooden basin. The Luo family has no use for it because they are not married. If you don't use this after getting married, you are really poor.

In a house like Luocheng, what would Zhao Qian do if she got married and wanted to take a bath? It is usually washed inside the house. If the weather is cold, you can get a big wooden bucket. If you can't, you can use this big wooden basin.

After adding a little water to the wooden basin, I put the soft-shelled turtles in. I was afraid that they would crawl out, so I even covered my face with something. But looking at the big wooden basin, Luo Cheng, who was about to get married, thought about Zhao Qian again. After marrying her in, he helped her bathe and play in the big wooden basin.

After the turtles were done, it was still early in the day, and it gets dark slowly in this month. Luo Cheng had enough time to go to the mountain and check the traps again, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. If he really caught it, he would still be there if he left it a day later, but some small animals would easily die. It is eaten even if it is dead, but because of blood problems, the strangled ones are fishier than the ones slaughtered by bleeding and are more likely to spoil.

"After that, I married Zhao Qian, and Accountant Zhao helped me become a mountain ranger. According to the policy, my father, mother, brother and sister-in-law were under the supervision of the deputy captain after the commune was established. Even if I can't go to the future time and space, it seems that I can't go to the future. Better than them."

Luo Cheng sat at the door. His parents' partiality made him hope that his brother and sister-in-law would not be as good as him. But they are brothers after all, there is no need for hatred, and they will not deliberately target anyone.

But Accountant Zhao said that if he goes hunting in the mountains in the future, he must follow up on reports in this regard. Everything is collective, and if you find something while hunting privately, you will have to confiscate it. Organized hunting is okay, and what you catch counts as a collective.

If we organize everyone to do farm work, those who don’t come will not earn any work points, but they can eat from the big pot. But there’s one thing. If you don’t earn work points, you won’t get any share of the purchased grain that is sold.

Don’t think that you don’t need to earn extra work points because you can eat in a group meal. If you have money, you can add clothes and buy extra things.

Luo Cheng was happy thinking that his brother and sister-in-law would have to do farm work like farmers in the future. And when I become a mountain ranger in the future, I can still catch some small animals on the mountain, as long as I don't deliberately hunt.

Luo Cheng also checked on his mobile phone. He couldn't survive eating in the collective cafeteria for just one year. At that time, my brother and sister-in-law may have a more difficult life. They will not be honest in farming and will not be able to earn enough work points.

People who are favored tend to be mentally unhealthy. But I have been treated favorably, how can I still accept it happily in my heart? Besides, it was not Luo Cheng who set up the commune. His brother, sister-in-law, and others would have a hard time in the future, so he had no psychological burden.

Sitting at the door, blowing the wind, thinking about the future, the sky gradually darkened. However, there was nothing to do at the door. I fed the chickens and got some straw ropes for tying turtles. I left the two big ones at home first and planned to bring the three smaller ones over. I learned from my fellow worker and tied them with ropes. Hold it in your hand, and others who pass by can see it.

I didn't fall asleep so quickly at night. I lived alone and there was no one around me to talk to. Suddenly I got a little nervous and walked out to the west where there was no one. It is said that when the weather is hot, you can see things like will-o’-the-wisps on the tombs at night. I walked around in a circle. Maybe it’s not very hot recently, so I didn’t see anything on the road. I did see a few toads jumping around.

After walking around for a while, I felt like I was going to sleep. I put the soft-shelled turtle tied with a straw rope next to me and began to lie on the bed and fall asleep.
