Chapter 31 - Eating Pheasant

Chen Yang this time went up the mountain, and it was not until it was dark that he ran down the mountain.

However, it was worth the rush to hurriedly climb the mountain again and again.

Chen Yang caught more than twenty plump rabbits.

Among these rabbits, there were even three pregnant does!

Catching such rabbits made Chen Yang happier than catching a single rabbit weighing six or seven pounds!

“Hurry home!

Then sort them!

I’ve been busy all day and haven’t even had lunch yet,” Chen Yang said, patting his flat stomach with a smile on his face.

Although he was uncomfortably hungry, the thought of today’s catch made Chen Yang very happy.

When he got home, Chen Yang, as usual, sorted the rabbits, then comfortably took a bath.

After all that, Chen Yang was ready to make himself a sumptuous dinner.

However, just as Chen Yang was about to start cooking, the medical clinic’s roller shutter door was knocked on.

The roller shutter door was made of metal, so it sounded like thunder when knocked on.

“Stop knocking, stop knocking!

I’m coming,” Chen Yang said with a bit of impatience, then hurriedly went to the clinic and pulled up the roller shutter door.

As soon as he opened the door, Chen Yang saw a boy around seven or eight years old with somewhat dark skin and a slender build standing in front of his clinic.

His name was Wang Qiang, usually called Qiangzi, and he was Wang Hong’s son.

“Qiangzi, why are you here?

Is there a problem?” asked Chen Yang with a smile.

“Uncle Yang, today my mom and I brought back a wild chicken from my grandpa’s house, we want to invite you over for a meal to thank you for curing my mom of the snake poison last time,” Qiangzi said, his eyes creasing into lines as he smiled.

“Oh, that’s it.

Well, you go ahead; I’ll tidy up and come over right away,” Chen Yang nodded and agreed.

“Alright!”

Once Chen Yang agreed, Qiangzi turned and ran off.

Watching the running figure of Qiangzi, Chen Yang smiled.

“No wonder she wasn’t home yesterday; turns out she went back to her parents’ house,” Chen Yang remembered from the previous night when he wanted to visit Wang Hong and found her home locked.

He took the keys, locked the roller shutter door, and then went to Wang Hong’s house.

As soon as Chen Yang got close to Wang Hong’s house, he immediately smelled the fragrance of the wild chicken in the air.

This smell was much richer than that of a domestic chicken; Chen Yang’s mouth watered just from the scent.

“Wild chicken meat smells so good.

If I could raise some, I’m sure I could sell them for a good price in the county,” Chen Yang blurted out.

Ever since he decided to start farming today, Chen Yang thought about raising every wild animal he saw.

Upon reaching the door of Wang Hong’s house, Chen Yang thought about going straight in, but after a moment’s thought, he decided to knock on the door.

“Auntie Wang, are you home?”

“I am!

Hold on, I’ll have Qiangzi open the door for you,” Wang Hong’s voice came from inside.

Then she called Qiangzi, and shortly after, Qiangzi came to open the door.

So Chen Yang entered Wang Hong’s house.

“Uncle Yang, please take a seat.

My mom is still cooking; she’ll be right with you.” As soon as he entered Wang Hong’s house, Qiangzi politely offered Chen Yang a stool to sit on.

Chen Yang smiled and patted his head, then sat down.

It wasn’t long before Wang Hong brought a plate of fragrant wild chicken to the table.

Seeing the steaming hot and fragrant wild chicken and not having eaten all day, Chen Yang couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.

The wild chicken was really delicious!

“Yang Zi, you start first.

I’ll clean up the kitchen and then join you,” Wang Hong said as she put the wild chicken on the table and then, wiping her hands, enthusiastically urged Chen Yang to eat.

“Heh, no rush, Auntie Wang, I’ll wait for you,” said Chen Yang, who was quite hungry but chose to wait instead of starting right away.

“Okay!

I’ll clean up quickly.” Wang Hong laughed, threw Chen Yang a look, and then turned back into the kitchen.

Watching Wang Hong’s gaze, Chen Yang seemed to catch on to something. Sёarch* The Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He quickly stood up and said, “Auntie Wang, let me help you.”

With that, he followed her into the kitchen.

As soon as Chen Yang entered the kitchen, he saw Auntie Wang tidying up the counter with a cloth.

Wang Hong was not wearing much, nor was she wearing little, but as she bent over to clean the counter, her raised buttocks were very tempting.

Looking at the perfect curves of Wang Hong leaning on the cooking range, Chen Yang involuntarily swallowed hard and then immediately stepped forward, coming up right behind Wang Hong, pressing closely against her.

The sudden appearance of Chen Yang’s body pressing against hers from behind, and his unique masculine scent echoing in her ears startled Wang Hong, causing her body to shiver and her cheeks to immediately flush with red.

“What are you up to, kid…

hurry up and finish tidying so we can eat…” Wang Hong turned around with a red face and said.

“Hehe.” Seeing Wang Hong actually getting shy, Chen Yang became more playful.

He grabbed Wang Hong’s hand that was holding a rag, then started cleaning up the stove top.

“I’m just helping you clean up…”

The rag moved back and forth over the stove top…

The feeling was wonderful, but Chen Yang felt it wasn’t quite satisfying enough, wanting to go a bit further.

But Aunt Wang dodged him directly.

“Alright, you little rascal…

I invited you over for a meal today, it wouldn’t be good to stay too long,” Wang Hong glanced outside the kitchen, the implication clear – there were other people around.

Chen Yang, seeing this, could only give up.

After he properly helped Wang Hong with the cleaning, the two of them left the kitchen and started to eat at home.

“Yang Zi, how’s the wild chicken meat?” During the meal, Wang Hong asked Chen Yang with a smile.

“It’s delicious, the wild chicken is tender and tasty, but what impresses me the most is Aunt Wang’s cooking skills,” Chen Yang grinned broadly as he flattered Wang Hong.

And it was quite effective.

Hearing Chen Yang compliment her cooking, Wang Hong smiled so broadly her mouth could hardly close.

“By the way, Aunt Wang, although there are many wild chickens in the mountains, they are hard to catch.

How did you get this chicken?” Chen Yang suddenly asked.

“Didn’t I go back to my parent’s house with Qiang Zi yesterday?

It just so happened my dad caught two with a trap, so I brought one back,” Wang Hong replied with a smile.

“A trap?

What kind of trap can catch wild chickens?” Chen Yang asked with curiosity.

Although wild chickens aren’t agile flyers, their running speed is very fast.

They are even faster than wild rabbits.

Plus, wild chickens don’t have a fixed range of activity, making it much harder to catch than rabbits.

“I’m not sure about the specifics, anyway, my dad catches them often,” Wang Hong shook her head, indicating she didn’t know the details.

Seeing this, Chen Yang decided not to ask further.

But just then, Qiang Zi who was busily gnawing on a chicken leg suddenly entered the conversation.

“Uncle Yang, I know how grandpa catches them!” Qiang Zi raised his hand, excitedly speaking out.

“Oh?

How does he catch them?” Chen Yang smiled and turned to ask Qiang Zi.

“He uses a bamboo cage tied with a rope, and corn kernels to catch them!

There are lots of wild chickens on Weed Slope!

That’s where grandpa catches them!” Qiang Zi excitedly shared everything he knew.

From Qiang Zi’s description, Chen Yang seemed to understand how Qiang Zi’s grandfather caught the wild chickens.

The method used was the simplest of mechanisms: scatter some corn kernels that wild chickens love to eat on the ground, then set up a bamboo trap above the kernels, and wait until the chickens are engrossed in eating.

At that moment, they’d pull the rope, the bamboo cage would fall, and the chickens would be trapped.

“So that’s how it’s done.” Chen Yang nodded slightly, thinking that he should try to catch some himself the next day.

This wild chicken meat was so delicious; it would definitely sell for a good price.

After the meal, Chen Yang wanted to sneak some extra benefits, but Wang Hong was constantly sitting in front of the TV, not giving him a chance, so he left.

When he got home, Chen Yang immediately started rummaging through his house, looking for some corn kernels that wild chickens like, but discovered he didn’t have any.

Chen Yang had no choice but to give up.

“Since I don’t have any at home, I’ll make a trip to the county tomorrow and also buy some things that will help with breeding!” Lying on the bed with his hands behind his head, Chen Yang was thinking about these matters.

Breeding sounds simple but is actually quite difficult when it comes to actual operation.

It’s only easy now because Chen Yang’s scale isn’t big, with just over a dozen wild rabbits.

To really make money from breeding, it’s necessary to scale up, raising thousands of them.

Once the scale increases, not only will tons of forage be consumed every day, but also a vast area would be needed for their accommodation.

And most importantly, they need to maintain the wildness of those animals.

If you just set up a simple warmth-preserving shed and use feed for breeding, that’s too ordinary.

And it wouldn’t offer any competitive advantage!

To genuinely earn a large amount of money, they must be purely wild!

“I’ll think about these things later!

For now, just start small and then take it step by step!” Chen Yang stopped his musings and lay on the bed, falling asleep before he knew it.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already the next day…
