Return to 1983: Starting from hunting in the mountains

Chapter 175: Steaming Buns, Going Into the Mountains to Collect Traps

After setting the trap, seeing that time was almost up, the three returned to the village.

There was singing and laughter along the way.

After entering the village, they agreed to go into the mountains to collect traps the next day, and then they went their separate ways.

"Jiansheng, there are no leftovers today. Do you want millet porridge or noodles?"

In the yard, Bai Ruoxi found Lu Jiansheng who was being intimate with her daughter and asked, at noon, the three grown men were all big eaters, not only did they finish several pounds of wolf meat, but even the steamed buns were not left.

"Tangtang Xixi, what do you two want to eat?"

Lu Jiansheng asked the two little ones who were acting coquettishly in his arms.

"Dad, Tangtang wants to eat noodles."

Sugar sugar milk voice milk road,

"Hmm~ Xixi wants to eat too~"

Xixi on the side was nodding her little head vigorously.

"Then let's eat noodles. Ruoxi, your hand is injured, so just help me. I'll make the stew first, and we'll eat stewed noodles tonight."

Lu Jiansheng patted Tangtang and Xixi who were playing on his lap, then stood up and said to Bai Ruoxi.

"Ah."

Bai Ruoxi nodded, feeling extremely happy.

Lu Jiansheng let the two little kids, Tangtang and Xixi, play in the yard by themselves, then washed his hands.

Pick some mushrooms from the rotten wood outside the yard, and take out a piece of bacon from the house. After washing the bacon, cut it into cubes and soak it in water.

The purpose of soaking the diced meat is to reduce the saltiness in the meat. After all, bacon is pickled with a lot of salt.

If you don't soak it, the food will taste bitter even if you don't add salt.

Soak the mushrooms in warm water first, then cut into cubes.

After dealing with all this, Bai Ruoxi had already brought the basin over, and Lu Jiansheng had kneaded the dough.

Bai Ruoxi came over at this time and started rolling the dough. He didn't wait any longer and took out firewood to light the pot.

After the pan is hot, add lard, then add the scallions and yellow paste until fragrant, then add the diced meat and start stir-frying. After the diced meat changes color, add the mushrooms and continue to stir-fry.

After the mushrooms were fried, Lu Jiansheng added some water and then turned the fire at the bottom of the pot to low heat.

"Jiansheng, it's time to start boiling water!" Bai Ruoxi had already cut the hand-rolled noodles and said to Lu Jiansheng who was sitting next to the stove.

"Okay!" Lu Jiansheng put the fire he had just extinguished back into the stove.

The young couple worked together and quickly prepared dinner.

We took out the noodles, called two little kids over, and the family of four had a delicious meal.

After dinner, Bai Ruoxi brought another bowl of noodles from the house.

"Ruoxi, what are you busy with?"

"You guys ate all the steamed buns at home at noon, so I was thinking of steaming some more."

Bai Ruoxi said slowly,
In fact, before Lu Jiansheng returned home, Bai Ruoxi took out a piece of old dough from the storage cabinet at home and started soaking it.

Now is the perfect time to use it for fermentation.

"Your hand is not healed yet, why don't you take some time off?"

Hearing this, Lu Jiansheng shook his head helplessly.

"It's out of the way now!"

"Forget it, I'll help you knead the dough."

Lu Jiansheng took the basin from Bai Ruoxi, kneaded the dough, and then put the basin on the head of the kang, covered it with a small quilt, and let the dough slowly ferment.

After the dough was fermented, Bai Ruoxi first added water to the pot, then held the two little kids and lit the fire next to the earthen stove to boil the pot. Lu Jiansheng, who was standing by, washed his hands, took out the dough, and kneaded it again.

Kneading the dough is crucial to whether steamed buns are delicious or not.

The dough is finished only when the surface is smooth and without thorns.

The next step is to cut out the steamed bun dough, knead it into the shape of steamed buns again, and then steam it.

Lu Jiansheng's movements were very quick and in a short while, he had turned the entire bowl of flour into steamed buns.

Seeing that the water in the pot had boiled, Lu Jiansheng put the steamer on the pot, and then picked up the steamed bun dough one by one and put it on the steamer.

In a blink of an eye, the next day, Lu Jiansheng got up early in the morning because he had to go into the mountains to collect the traps he had set yesterday.

Without waiting for Lu Jiansheng to finish washing up, Bai Ruoxi also walked out of the main room, said something to Lu Jiansheng, then washed up and walked into the kitchen and started to get busy.

"This girl..."

Lu Jiansheng fed all the dogs, and then let Dabao, Laohei and the others out of the dog kennel, letting them move around in the yard and relieve themselves.

"Jiansheng, wash your hands quickly, it's time to eat!"

Bai Ruoxi quickly prepared breakfast, brought it into the house, and greeted Lu Jiansheng.

"it is good."

Lu Jiansheng responded casually, then washed his hands and went into the house to eat.

Breakfast was simple, with steamed white flour buns from yesterday, millet porridge, scallion sauce, and pickled vegetables. This kind of breakfast was better than almost any other family in the village.

Take white flour steamed buns for example. In Liuligouzi Village, people usually don’t eat them and only use them occasionally to entertain guests.

Lu Jiansheng ate three big steamed buns while drinking millet porridge and eating some pickled vegetables.

After dinner, Bai Ruoxi quickly went to clean up the dishes.

Looking at the busy Bai Ruoxi, Lu Jiansheng was very happy. Such a daughter-in-law was worth loving for a lifetime.

In the previous life, Lu Jian made them suffer too much.

In this life, all Lu Jiansheng wants is to be with his wife and children and love them well.

Just after finishing eating, Lu Erniu and Liu Shengli walked in excitedly.

……

“Howl…”

With a shout from Lu Jiansheng, a group of three people, led by Gou Zi, quickly jumped down from the top of the mountain.

The three of them climbed over mountains and crossed rivers, quickly moving through the jungle. After a short while, they arrived at the place where the trap was set yesterday.

This kind of trap is like guessing blind boxes, which is the most exciting, especially for Lu Erniu and Liu Shengli who are setting traps for the first time.

Lu Jiansheng was much calmer. After all, it was not easy to catch prey with this method in this season. Unlike when it snowed heavily, there was a lack of food in the mountains and there was no snow to cover it, so traps were also difficult to set.

However, Lu Jiansheng also wanted to take the dogs out for some fresh air in the mountains and catch some small wild game. It was difficult to catch large prey using these small traps.

Just as Lu Jiansheng expected, he collected five traps, but found nothing from the other four, except for one trap that seemed to have left a pile of pheasant feathers on the ground, as if something had gotten to it first.

Fortunately, Lu Jiansheng was well prepared and had set enough condoms yesterday.

"Shengli, you go south, Erniu, you go north," Lu Jiansheng ordered. The three of them had set traps in several directions yesterday.

"okay!"

The two men agreed and spread out, starting to look for the trap they had set yesterday in the woods.

"I found it! It's a flying dragon. This set caught a flying dragon."

Lu Erniu shouted excitedly while holding a flying dragon.

Then he immediately put the flying dragon and the trap into the cloth bag he carried with him, and then searched forward.
