Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 42 Dip Bear Bile Bacon Bear White
  Yu Kaihe led the villagers and dragged the black blind man weighing more than 400 kilograms to Xu Ning's house, without letting Xu Ning and the other two people help him.

Along the way, several villagers uttered auspicious words, praising the three of them so much that they were almost overwhelmed.

When he was about to reach the door of Lao Xu's house, Wang Hu saw two people in front of him carrying bags and dragging Xiaoxue's sledge towards Tundong.

"Second brother, do you think those two are the wives of the Chang brothers?"

Xu Ning glanced at the two figures from behind, he was not sure.

Yu Kaihe raised his head and glanced, and said, "It's the two of them. They must have quarreled with the two brothers and returned to their parents' home because of stealing the bears."

"It's not that bad, these Chang family brothers are really in trouble!"

"..."

The topic opened up, and several villagers once again criticized the Chang brothers.

Old Xu's house, at the entrance of the courtyard.

The crowd dragged the blind man into the courtyard, making mixed noises.

In the house, Liu Lizhen and Han Fengjiao, who were sitting on the kang chatting, turned their heads when they heard the sound. When they saw such old people and a blind man coming into the courtyard, they immediately jumped off the kang in shock and hurried out of the house to the courtyard.

"Hey mom!"

When Han Fengjiao saw Hei Xiazi's figure, she exclaimed.

Xu Ning turned to look at his mother, and found that her face was dull, even a little gloomy, so she secretly thought that it was not good, her mother might have seen him secretly go up the mountain to beat up the blind man, and she was afraid.

He hurriedly stepped forward and put his arms around Liu Lizhen's shoulders, "Oh my God, where are these older people? Let's talk in the room later."

After finishing speaking, Liu Lizhen smiled.

Li Fuqiang saw her smiling, and immediately grinned and said: "Aunt! Look at what my brother beat me. This big black blind guy weighs more than 400 kilograms!"

Liu Lizhen nodded and forced a smile: "Yeah, it's really amazing."

Wang Hu blinked and said nothing, and Li Fuqiang also sensed that something was wrong, so he turned around and got into the crowd.

"Er Ning, you're fine." Yu Kaihe raised his head and reminded.

"Row!"

Xu Ning responded, took the invasion knife from Li Fuqiang's hand, and then gave the villagers meat.

There were more than ten people present, and each person weighed about two kilograms, which was enough for them to go back and stir-fry vegetables to satisfy their cravings.

Everyone sharing the meat said that Xu Ning was fastidious, generous and benevolent. He smiled and said hello to Liu Lizhen and went home.

In the end, Yu Kaihe was left alone, and Xu Ning gave him some extra fat.

"Uncle Yu, take the fat pancakes back, stir-fry some shredded potatoes, roll them up and enjoy them."

Yu Kaihe did not refuse and nodded with a smile: "Sure, then I'm welcome."

"Why are you being polite to me?"

Yu Kaihe has an easy-going temperament, loves to do good deeds, and is good at helping others, but sometimes he is like a stubborn donkey and refuses to take the easy way out.

Xu Ning was deeply impressed by him because in his previous life, the day Xu Chunlin came home from the hospital was at the end of January, two days before the Chinese New Year.

Yu Kaihe led the two sons of Lao Niu's family in Jibizi up the mountain to hunt livestock. When they encountered Li San's two sons being chased by a blind man, he kindly stepped forward to save them, but unexpectedly cost his own life.

Yu Kaihe's wife was originally celebrating the New Year happily, but something like this happened. Yu Kaihe's wife couldn't accept it for a while, and suddenly suffered a myocardial infarction.

Yu Kaihe was unable to have children, so the girl he adopted in his early years was married to the provincial capital. In the end, Du Shoucai, the brigade secretary in the village, helped organize the funeral.

As the saying goes, good people are not rewarded. Lao Yu's family became extinct in one day. Later, after his adopted daughter came back to attend the funeral, he sold the house to Chang Beifeng.

What's ridiculous is that it was Yu Kaihe who secured the match for Li San's youngest son, and the one who married Li San's youngest son was the biological sister of the Chang brothers!
  Just say it's not funny, right?

Looking at Yu Kaihe's leaving figure, Xu Ning shook his head secretly.

He doesn't want to be a good guy. How can a good person die well?
  "Brother, help me." "Hey."

Li Fuqiang pulled the bear's leg, and Xu Ning cut it off with a knife.

Then remove the bear's corrugated cap, nose and other parts with medicinal value and put them aside.

It was the first time for Liu Lizhen to see her son remove meat. Watching him skillfully wield the knife, her originally restless mood actually calmed down.

After Xu Ning finished unloading the whole bear, he raised his head towards his mother and said with a smile: "Oh my god, what do you think of my technique?"

"Stop talking! What did I tell you when I was sewing your pocket yesterday? It's not that I won't let you beat the blind man. You have to call your dad and your second uncle!"

"Oh my god, nothing's wrong. Look at my shooting skills. I shot him directly in the head."

Han Fengjiao walked to the back and took a look. Seeing the big scar on the back of the black blind man's head, she was shocked and said, "It's not that bad! Sister-in-law, take a look, Er Ning's shooting skills are really amazing."

Liu Lizhen relaxed her mouth and said, "Why are you so awesome? Hurry up and get the meat all over the outer room!"

"Eh."

After the three heard this, they moved the bear meat into the house.

Han Fengjiao said, "You three haven't eaten, have you?"

Wang Hu said: "No, I didn't even think about beating the blind man. I can't stop this luck!"

"What's going on?"

Immediately, Liu Lizhen and Han Fengjiao prepared a meal for the three of them, and Wang Hu leaned on the door frame and talked about what happened on the mountain.

What he told was extremely realistic, but it was far less vivid and three-dimensional than Liu Daming's.

When Wang Hu finished speaking, Liu Lizhen gnashed her teeth and ran to the east room, raised her hand and slapped Xu Ning angrily.

"Why are you so hurtful? Are you annoying the old Chang brothers by just sitting around?"

Xu Ning winced and bared his teeth: "I'm venting my anger on behalf of Uncle Chang."

Li Fuqiang put out the cigarette in his hand and said: "Auntie, my brother wants to figure out those three bastards and the green wolf in Xu Pao's family. Otherwise, Uncle Chang won't be able to work hard."

"You've become so scheming!" Liu Lizhen rolled her eyes at him angrily.

Wang Hu said with a smile: "Mom, thanks to my second brother's foresight, otherwise he would be able to beat the black blind man without any effort."

Speaking of this, Xu Ning slapped his thigh and said, "Oh shit, I forgot to dip my toes in bear bile because of this interruption."

He hurriedly took out the bear bile bag from his inner pocket, took out the bear bile from it, and after checking that the skin was not frozen hard, handed it to Liu Lizhen.

"Mom, thank you for sewing this little pocket for me, otherwise the bear's bile would be wasted."

Liu Lizhen took the bear bile and looked at it carefully, "This bile is bigger than what your father and your second uncle fought."

Wang Hu said: "They beat more than 400 kilograms, and they may not be adults. My second brother beat a black blind man weighing more than kilograms!"

"Sister-in-law, the water in the pot has just boiled. Please dip it in quickly."

Immediately, Liu Lizhen took the bear bile and walked to the outer room. Han Fengjiao opened the lid of the pot and took out the hot vegetables and forks. Liu Lizhen dipped the bear bile in water to make the skin harden, and then placed it in the lower room. It was hung on the beam with an iron hook.

This pot fork is used to support the rice bowl and vegetable basin in the big pot.

To put it simply, it is a tree branch with the outer bark peeled off!

At noon, there was ready-made rice, including roe deer meat and sauerkraut, but Han Fengjiao fried a plate of bear meat fried with green onions for the three of them.

The three of them were a little hungry after going up the mountain, so they ate without raising their heads.

Liu Lizhen and Han Fengjiao had finished eating long ago, because it was already past one o'clock.

After they finished eating, Liu Lizhen asked Li Fuqiang to take some meat home first, and then called Yang Shuhua over. They were going to make some bear oil and pickle some bear bacon in the afternoon.

It’s rare to pickle bacon here in the Northeast. The reason why Liu Lizhen wanted to pickle bear bacon was mainly because she wanted to make an extra dish during the Chinese New Year, called bacon bear white!
  This is a delicacy that only the emperor can eat, and it tastes absolutely delicious!
