Chapter 215 Booking
Seeing Wang Anping's family being so silent, Bai Zhizhi had no choice but to speak first.
"Well, I want to ask, do you have any other prey at home? I want to order some."
Wang Anping looked at her in confusion. Hadn't they just bought so much pork? Why did they need to buy other game? They weren't having a banquet at home, so how could they use so much meat?
Even though he thought so, Wang Anping didn't say anything. Instead, he asked, "What do you want?"
He had a wild rabbit that he had caught today and was planning to eat it at home.
Hearing his question, Bai Zhizhi didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She just said casually, "Of course, I want whatever I can get, such as pheasants, rabbits, wild boars, etc."
If her new idea really succeeds, she will definitely have to buy meat in the future. Going to the county town to buy it is definitely not as cheap as buying game directly from Wang Anping's house. Of course, the more the better.
Wang Anping didn't expect him to ask for so many things. His eyes widened slightly as he spoke frankly, "It's winter now, and there are fewer prey, especially since it snowed a few days ago. Even if there were any, they'd all been hiding and difficult to catch, so there's not much prey at home."
After saying this, Wang Anping paused for a moment before continuing, "If you need anything, I'll go up the mountain again tomorrow to take a look."
Bai Zhizhi knew that there were fewer prey in winter, but it shouldn't be possible that she couldn't catch any prey. Wang Anping could kill a wild boar by himself.
Thinking of this, Bai Zhizhi carefully asked, "Um, can I ask how you catch your prey?"
Wang Anping looked at her doubtfully. Although he didn't understand why she asked such a question, he still answered truthfully, "Just take a bow and arrow, shoot when you see prey, and if you're lucky you can always catch some."
Of course, what he didn't say was that his archery skills were not bad, and could even be considered one of the best in the area, so he could basically catch some prey every time he went into the mountains.
"Just arrows, no other means?" Bai Zhizhi asked curiously.
I heard that Wang Anping was very powerful before. Even an ordinary Wang Anping should know how to use traps and the like.
"I've used traps before, but they weren't very useful. They basically didn't catch any prey. Even if they did, they'd run away because I couldn't collect them in time. So I didn't use them much."
Wang Anping did not hide anything. This was not an important matter and could be found out with just a little inquiry.
Hearing what he said, Bai Zhizhi became even more curious and continued to ask, "How did you make the trap?"
Wang Anping looked at her for a long moment before saying, "It's just a simple pit. If you're lucky, prey will fall into it, but it's rare to catch prey."
What on earth does this woman mean? Why is she asking him these questions for no apparent reason?
When Bai Zhizhi heard about Wang Anping's simple and crude trap making, her eyes widened. This was too much of a disregard for traps. How could he catch prey like this? How stupid were those animals?
She now somewhat believes in the saying "sit and wait for the rabbit to come to you". Maybe a rabbit will really hit the tree.
"Everyone does this." Wang Anping didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Bai Zhizhi took a deep breath and tried to recall several modern trap-making methods in her mind.
These were all things she had seen when she was watching videos before. They were not very powerful traps, but compared to Wang Anping's method of directly digging a hole, they were definitely much more advanced.
After thinking it over in her mind, Bai Zhizhi carefully expressed her insights on the trap.
"Perhaps you could try choosing the location of the pit and setting traps along the path the prey must take. You could also put other things in the pit, like sharp spikes made from sticks, to prevent the prey from escaping.
Of course, the most convenient way is to make a trap, which is also very simple to make and very efficient..."
Bai Zhizhi provided Wang Anping with some suggestions on modern traps through words and gestures.
Wang Anping was extremely surprised when he heard her words.
