Return to 1983: Starting from hunting in the mountains

Chapter 130 Traveling far away, braised bear meat

Skinning requires a steady hand. If the hand is not steady and a tremor breaks the skin, the value of the bear skin will be greatly reduced.

Lu Jiansheng spent half an hour peeling off the blind bear's skin completely. He then turned the bear skin over, hung it on the wooden board, and began to scrape off the fat bit by bit.

This is a good thing. The fat can be scraped off to make bear fat.

When Liu Shengli and Lu Erniu saw that the bear was skinned, they came over to help. They began to debone the bear, cut the bear meat into pieces, and threw them into a basin on one side.

Blind Bear is full of treasures, bear meat and bear oil are also good things, and even bear bones are worth some money.

But this time Lu Jiansheng didn't plan to sell all the bear meat and bear oil. He planned to split it with Liu Shengli and Lu Erniu.

This blind bear weighed three to four hundred pounds. After skinning and deboning, he still had about two hundred pounds. He left dozens of pounds of the best fat meat and dozens of pounds of lean meat, which added up to almost one hundred pounds. Liu Shengli and Lu Erniu split the rest equally.

He also planned to keep the bear bones for Dabao and the others to eat. The effects of bear bones were no worse than leopard bones. Dabao and the others grew up by eating these beast bones. They might become more powerful in the future. Thinking about it, Lu Jiansheng was looking forward to adulthood. Dabao them.

As for precious things like bear bile and bear skins, Lu Jiansheng planned to take a trip to Ha Giang City to sell these valuables.

Actually.

Lu Jiansheng had already planned to go to Ha Giang City to sell these valuable wild goods.

"Jiansheng, what shall we eat today?"

After a while,

Lu Jiansheng fished out the bear meat and washed it.

The little guy Xixi nodded vigorously.

"Hey, don't you still have your man? I'll make braised bear meat."

"it is good."

Ha Giang is a prefecture-level city.

After cleaning the bear meat, Lu Jiansheng began to prepare the ingredients for the stew.

After dividing the meat, Lu Erniu happily carried the bear meat home. Then Lu Jiansheng and Wang Xuehua Liu said hello to each other and carried the meat home.

"Xixi, I also want to help."

Although the level of development is not as high as that of the provincial capital city, it is much higher than the small county of Guangzhou County.

"Uh-huh."

Bai Ruoxi hesitated.

At this time, Bai Ruoxi also cleaned the pot.

Then take it out, put it in a basin, and start cleaning it again.

He soaked the bear meat, and Bai Ruoxi had already steamed a pot of rice.

Lu Jiansheng smiled and took the clothes. After changing them, Bai Ruoxi took a basin and soaked the clothes in the water.

"Light the fire!"

In particular, Ha Giang City has the Ha Giang Medicinal Materials Company, which specializes in purchasing bear bile, bear noses, and other materials that can be used as medicine. The prices are high and they are relatively transparent.

Take out a few radishes, wash them, cut them into small pieces, then take out the peppers, onions, ginger, garlic and other ingredients and cut them into pieces and set them aside for later use.

Lu Jiansheng said with a smile.

The two little guys ran over and set up two small stools in the main room, imitating Bai Ruoxi's appearance.

But they definitely couldn't wash her. Lu Jiansheng's purpose was to keep the two little breast dumplings away from him to prevent them from causing trouble.

Put the bear meat into the pot under cold water, then Bai Ruoxi cooked it in the pot. After waiting for a while, when the water boiled, she blanch the bear meat in the pot.

Lu Jiansheng said with a smile. In fact, he has never cooked bear meat, but this does not hinder it. The taste of bear meat is refreshing and slightly gamey. It does not become hard even if it cools down. It is delicious whether it is stewed or grilled.

"But, I've never cooked bear meat."

Then add water to the pot.

"Dad, change your clothes quickly, you are dirty."

Lu Jiansheng made up his mind.

"Woo~"

Bai Ruoxi agreed, took out a few firewood from the pot in front of her, put them into another pot, and added a few more firewood.

"Ruoxi, light another pot and pour half of the cold water into it." Lu Jiansheng then ordered to Bai Ruoxi.

Lu Jiansheng explained and continued cleaning the bear meat.

Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, Bai Ruoxi asked.

Tangtang said in a milky voice.

The two little guys, Tangtang Xixi, also joined in the fun,

Lu Jiansheng felt dizzy for a while and saw the clothes soaking in the yard: "You two, let's do the laundry!"

Just as he put the meat into the kitchen, Bai Ruoxi came over,

The two little guys followed Bai Ruoxi with their clothes in their arms.

"The bear meat we just hunted today, you haven't eaten bear meat yet, of course we eat bear meat!"

Lu Jiansheng did not sell the deer antlers he harvested last time in Guangzhou County. He just planned to catch some valuable wild animals and sell them together. After all, Ha Giang City is relatively far away. If the money is small, he will definitely not want to make the trip.

It's different now. If you beat a blind bear, you can earn an extra four to five hundred yuan. It's certainly worth it.

Bai Ruoxi said happily with a happy smile on her face.

"Then I'll cook a pot for you."

"Ruoxi, please take off the fire first! Wash the pot clean,"

"Dad, where is Tangtang? Tangtang can also work."

Lu Jiansheng gave an order.

Then I dug out two tablespoons of lard, put it into the pot, and added a little badger seed oil to improve the freshness. Lu Jiansheng and Bai Ruoxi added some badger seed oil every time they cooked. The dishes they made were fragrant and delicious. Now the badger seed oil is I have eaten a lot of oil these days.

There was a sizzling sound, and a rich aroma filled the kitchen.

After a while, the lard melted, and Lu Jiansheng put the bear meat into the pot and stir-fried until golden brown.

Lu Jiansheng fished out the bear meat again.

Then scoop out the excess oil and pour it into a bowl so that it can be used for cooking later.

Add Sichuan peppercorns and star anise and fry until fragrant, then remove and discard.

Then, add the pepper, onion, ginger and garlic into the pot and stir-fry, then add the bear meat cubes, radish cubes, vinegar, then add water and cover the pot.

Lu Jiansheng glanced at Huo and followed him out of the kitchen.

Don't be in a hurry when eating bear meat. After it comes to a boil over high heat, add salt, sugar and soy sauce, then simmer over low heat to reduce the juice.

There are two little dumplings over there, sitting in the yard, washing his clothes!

"Dad, I'm so tired! Xixi can't wash herself."

The two little guys hummed and rubbed their clothes vigorously with their little hands. As Xixi spoke, her big watery eyes blinked at her.

This obviously meant asking him for help. After all, these two little breast dumplings were so awesome.

Lu Jiansheng not only chose to ignore it, but also came over to cheer them both on.

After Lu Jiansheng painted the cakes, the two little guys were so energetic that he couldn't even laugh or cry.

It's really fun for children to play with, especially the two little breast dumplings Tangtang Xixi.

When we saw each other, he went into the kitchen again and opened the lid of the pot.

Sure enough, the water in the pot had boiled and was steaming.

The aroma of stewed bear meat also wafted from the kitchen and filled the yard.

"smell good!"

Smelling the aroma of meat, Tangtang Xixi suddenly lost her energy and ran towards the kitchen in a hurry.

"Wow! Dad! It smells so good!"

Tangtang poked her little head into the pot.

Lu Jiansheng is cutting garlic leaves. He smiled when he saw the little guy running over without leaving his post.

"Dad, Xixi wants to eat."

Xixi made a milky sound. As he spoke, he took a sip of saliva. Xixi's cute scene made Lu Jiansheng laugh.

"You little snacker!"

"No, Xixi is a foodie in her belly!" Xixi touched her belly and made a milky sound.

"Shout, you really know how to blame! This little clever guy."

"Wait a minute, daddy isn't ready yet!"

The two little dumplings stopped doing laundry and just looked at the stove eagerly.

Lu Jiansheng immediately added some salt, soy sauce and various other ingredients at home to the pot.

Look at the fire under the pot. It's almost done. No need to add more firewood. Just simmer over low heat and slowly reduce the juice.

After looking at the steamed bun basket hanging on the beam and a few leftover steamed buns, Lu Jiansheng opened the rice steaming pot and took it all out to cook.

~

Just one pot of braised bear meat is ready.

The family of four gathered around the table and started eating.

Bear soup is a bit like old duck soup, slightly sour, and the bear meat is very delicious and melts in your mouth.

After dinner, Bai Ruoxi took over the task of dressing the two little breast dumplings. Lu Jiansheng also walked forward and squatted in front of the clothes.

"What are you doing? I can do it by myself here."

Bai Ruoxi said warmly.

"Ruoxi, I plan to go to Ha Giang City the day after tomorrow,"

Lu Jiansheng then told Bai Ruoxi about his idea of ​​going to Hajiang City.

Lu Jiansheng felt that as soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere around him suddenly dropped. It was obvious that Bai Ruoxi was somewhat uneasy.

In the end, Bai Ruoxi couldn't hold it back and said, "Why go to Hejiang City? It's too far. It was such a hard time before. Tangtang Xixi and I came here. You don't have to work so hard."

"It's not tiring! It's just a trip. You can earn a lot more by going back and forth."

Lu Jiansheng smiled.

"Then ask Lu Erniu to go with you."

"If he goes, it will make things worse."

Lu Jiansheng refused, saying that he had been wandering for so many years in his previous life, and traveling far away was a common occurrence for him. Taking Lu Erniu and Liu Shengli with him, who had never seen much of the world, would become a drag.

Seeing that Lu Jiansheng was determined, she didn't say anything, but just reminded Lu Jiansheng to be careful in advance.

…………

into the night.

Bai Ruoxi is still stepping on the sewing machine.

The clicking sound was particularly clear in the silent night.

Lu Jiansheng packed up his things, stood up and walked towards Bai Ruoxi.

"Still not sleeping at this late hour?"

Lu Jiansheng frowned, "Are you disobedient? Go to bed early. You can do this tomorrow. It's too late. Don't hurt your eyes."

Bai Ruoxi didn't even raise her head: "It has to be done quickly, otherwise Tangtang Xixi will make a lot of noise during the day, and I can't feel at ease. You will be going out the day after tomorrow. I will prepare your clothes, but you can't go to Hajiang City. Still wearing this."

Lu Jiansheng said: "There's only one day tomorrow, and my clothes are fine. Don't stay up late. It's too harmful to your body."

Bai Ruoxi heard this and was about to say something when she saw Lu Jiansheng coming over and blowing out the kerosene lamp he had placed next to the sewing machine.

Lu Jiansheng suddenly put out the kerosene lamp, and Bai Ruoxi stopped immediately.

She was stunned.

He froze in the darkness.

"Jian, Jiansheng?"

She was startled, "Why did you suddenly turn off the light?"

When the eyes enter darkness for a moment, there will be a brief moment of extreme darkness. In the darkness, the two of them could not see anything clearly.

Lu Jiansheng could only hear the shallow breathing coming from beside him, slightly hurried and panicked, wrapped in the night, and penetrated into his ears.

"You are always disobedient. Who told you to listen to me last time? Do you still want to~"

Lu Jiansheng said with a smile.

Ever since Bai Ruoxi taught her a lesson that night last time, she has been obedient for a few days.

Now it starts again...

Bai Ruoxi blushed: "Don't I want to make your clothes ready?"
