Xing'an Mountains 1984: Starting from climbing mountains to support the family

Chapter 146 Idiot! Can you learn something good?

As the weather was good today, after returning home, Chen Weidong put the black tiger, white tiger and four puppies on leashes and took them to a nearby hill for training.

Hunting dogs are often taken to the mountains for training, especially the four puppies Dalong, Erlong, Sanlong and Silong. These four puppies are growing very fast, they are bigger than before and their bodies are also very strong. Under the leadership of Heihu and Baihu, the four puppies can already successfully catch wild rabbits.

And after Chen Weidong's training these days, these four puppies can also understand Chen Weidong's instructions.

As soon as Chen Weidong blew the whistle, the puppies knew that it was time to gather, and the four puppies immediately ran to Chen Weidong with their short legs.

After training for a while on a nearby hill, Chen Weidong led the six dogs down the mountain. Just as they reached the halfway point and passed by the fields in the village, they suddenly heard a strange sound of grunting and deflated stomachs coming from nearby.

"What's the noise?"

Chen Weidong immediately took out his pistol and rushed forward.

Then Chen Weidong prepared to release the black tiger and the white tiger to explore.

Suddenly, I saw a black object poking out from under a big tree about 20 to 30 meters away from the field.

Raise the gun and aim.

As the part that was exposed became larger, the boss's butt was seen sticking up towards the sky, appearing from behind the tree.

"Fuck, I almost became Zhang Da Kui!"

"Who is this? In the heavy snow, he is sticking his butt out and digging snow behind a tree!"

Chen Weidong put away his gun and walked up.

This is not because Chen Weidong's vision is bad, because when Chen Weidong first looked at it, it was blocked by the trees and only a little bit was visible.
Moreover, a black thing suddenly appeared in the snow. As a hunter, he must have thought it was some wild beast.

When I approached him, I saw that the man was digging the dirt out of a hole about the size of a bathtub, with his head facing downwards and his butt sticking up in the air.

Even if Chen Weidong got closer, he could only see her butt.

Listen carefully, that butt is still cursing.

Chen Weidong is happy,
What kind of style is this?
Quite unique!

"Who is it? What are you doing sneaking around?"

Chen Weidong suddenly spoke.

The butt was immediately frightened and trembled, and hurriedly backed out. It turned out to be a dusty old man, who looked very familiar.

Chen Weidong took a closer look and immediately let out a "puff", almost unable to hold it in.

It was none other than Old Zhang who lived in front of his house in the village.

Old Zhang backed out of the hole with his butt twisted. Seeing that it was Chen Weidong, he immediately rolled his eyes, patted the dust off his body, and said unhappily: "Weidong, are you too idle to do anything?"

"Why are you trying to scare me?"

Chen Weidong took a look at the bathtub-sized cave, quickly patted the dirt off Old Zhang's clothes, and joked, "Uncle, when did you learn the skill of tomb robbing?"

"How come it's pouring onto my own field?"

Old Zhang rolled his eyes at Chen Weidong, pointed at the cave and said, "Weidong, don't talk nonsense! This is a badger hole I dug!"

As Old Zhang spoke, he pulled out a blue cotton cap from his pocket, put it on his head, and said with gritted teeth, "I was wondering why the yield of my corn field was so low this year. It turns out that there is a nest of badgers living above my field. Damn it, they must have tried their best to destroy the little corn I planted!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Weidong looked towards the cave.

Unfortunately, the entrance to the cave has been dug beyond recognition by Old Zhang.

"Damn it! I'm going to catch this beast today, skin it, refine its oil and eat its meat!"

Old Zhang cursed angrily, these days, corn is money!
In the simple eyes of the general public, harming corn means harming money!
Even a little kid would get beaten for playing with corn in the yard, let alone you, a beast.

It’s okay if you don’t find out, but if you do, you will never forgive me!
Chen Weidong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he quickly grabbed Old Zhang and said, "Uncle, this is not the way to catch a badger."

"No matter how much this thing scrambles for food, you can't dig a hole and get in by yourself."

"No matter how good a man is at digging, can he dig better than a badger?"

"What if this cave collapses and you're buried inside?"

Chen Weidong is not joking.

He has caught several nests of badgers. There are some tricks to digging holes. You have to consider the terrain and soil layers. Some badger holes are very deep.

Old Zhang is obviously an outsider. With most of his body stuck in the cave and only his butt exposed, it's easy for something to get into trouble.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"I smoked the cigarette, but it just wouldn't come out."

"And I've left the trap there for two days and two nights, but the badger won't step on it!"

Old Zhang kicked the rusty big clamp next to him and spread his hands, looking quite helpless.

After discovering the badger hole, he immediately took the clamps from home, placed them on the entrance of the badger hole, and sprinkled a lot of corn kernels around it.

But this beast just refused to come and eat, and he really had no other choice but to resort to such a stupid method as digging a hole.

"Weidong, why don't you give it a try? You're capable. You can beat a blind bear and dig out a badger!"

"We'll each take half of the badger we dug up!"

Old Zhang said quickly.

"Well."

Chen Weidong said very straightforwardly.

"Uncle Zhang, have you blocked all the other entrances?" Chen Weidong asked immediately.

"I know. I searched the area thoroughly these past two days. This badger den has three exits, and I blocked the other two with big rocks!"

"Ah."

Chen Weidong nodded. He was now experienced in hunting badgers.
Chen Weidong glanced at the entrance of the cave. It was not big, so there should not be many badgers inside. However, the entrance of the cave was deep, so the smoke could not flow down. He glanced at the direction of the cave entrance.

Then he walked forward and said to Old Zhang: "Uncle, dig here!"

"Dig here. There's no hole here."

Old Zhang looked at Chen Weidong in confusion and muttered something, but now that Chen Weidong's abilities were obvious to everyone, he chose to believe him.

After only two minutes of digging, a hole suddenly appeared.

"Weidong, you are really something."

Old Zhang said excitedly.

Chen Weidong smiled. The badgers in this badger hole were also smart. They only made the hole at the entrance very deep, and then made it diagonally upwards. If you usually try to smoke it out directly, it will definitely not work.

But for now, it is possible from this position. Then Chen Weidong found a pile of dry firewood.

Light it up and start smoking.

After a while, a badger really jumped out of the hole. Just as Old Zhang was about to hit it with a shovel, the badger had already jumped out.

But it didn't run away.

Instead, it was stopped by the black tiger, and the badger could only confront the black tiger helplessly.
But the white tiger and its four puppies also surrounded them from behind. The puppies were now bigger than the badgers, and although their voices were soft, they also looked very ferocious.

The badger finally lost interest in fighting and wanted to escape.

The black tiger badger turned around and leaped forward without hesitation, using its sharp fangs to bite the badger hard on the butt!
The badger became extremely angry after being hit, and became extremely ferocious. It howled, turned its head, and attacked the black tiger again without hesitation, rushing over to scratch and bite the black tiger fiercely!

Badgers are like this. When they get angry, they are not afraid of anything and just want to fight to the death!

Black tigers and badgers have done it before, and they know how powerful it is.
After taking the bite, he immediately stepped back without hesitation.

After being injured, the badger was more aggressive and dangerous than ever before, chasing and biting the animal desperately.

Seeing this, the white tiger immediately pounced on it, seized the opportunity, took a bite, and then retreated.

The big dragon, along with the second, third, and fourth dragons, followed. They first looked at the attacks of the black tiger and the white tiger.

After several tugs of war, when the black tiger, the white tiger and the badger really started fighting, they also found the right opportunity and bit them.

Chen Weidong had no intention of training these puppies, so he did not stop them. Besides, these four puppies were quite large and usually ate wolf bones, wolf meat, bear bones, and bear meat. It would be no big deal even if they were injured. Besides, no matter how ferocious the badger was, there was only one of them after all.

After a while, with the combined efforts of the black tiger and the white tiger, they pinned the badger weighing fifteen or sixteen pounds to the ground. The big dragon immediately bit the badger's neck, and the other three also bit the badger's body.

Chen Weidong took a look at Dalong's bite, it was really vicious. In a short while, the badger was dead!

Then the four puppies worked together to drag the badger in front of Chen Weidong, and as if to seek credit, they came to Chen Weidong's crotch and started rubbing it hard.

"Weidong, your puppies are so fierce and smart! How did you raise them?"

Old Zhang took a look and sighed.

"I didn't raise them much. I just fed them wolf bones and wolf meat, bear bones and bear meat, etc. every day."

"Uh……"

Old Zhang was speechless. This was better than what he ate! Damn, people are worse than dogs, and they are wasteful! Of course, Old Zhang was just thinking about this in his heart.

"Weidong, there can't be only one badger!"

Chen Weidong and Lao Zhang waited for a while, but no badger came out.

"Well, it's very possible. Uncle Zhang might be a lone badger!"

Chen Weidong said that although badgers are accustomed to living in groups, some holes will also have solitary badgers, and their holes are obviously not very big.

Seeing that no badgers came out, Chen Weidong did not want any of them. After declining twice, Chen Weidong led the dogs home. Two puppies were scratched, so Chen Weidong applied medicine on them while Old Zhang continued to dig out the food.

After treating the puppy's injuries, Chen Weidong sat in the house, roasting fire and eating peanuts and pine nuts.

"Weidong, bring up the pickled ham so I can add salt to it."

Liu Xueting greeted Chen Weidong in the kitchen.

"Okay, you wait up there, I'll go down and get the ham up."

Chen Weidong didn't hesitate and went straight down to the cellar to get the ham. Liu Xueting's pickled ham was more troublesome, usually adding six or seven salts, and also soaking, washing, drying, and fermenting. It was impossible to eat it without three months.

The Northeastern bacon made by Chen Weidong is not that troublesome. It just needs to be taken out and dried after seven days of pickling.

After drying, there are two processing directions, one is to add marinade and continue marinating.

The marinade is made by boiling the brine produced by the first pickling of the bacon with star anise, bay leaves, fennel, chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, onions, ginger, cardamom, etc., and an appropriate amount of water.

After pickling for a period of time, continue drying and then seal it in a jar.

Another method is to dry the bacon in the sun, then add rice, tea leaves, peanut shells, and sugar to the pot, place the bacon on the grate, and light a fire to slowly steam it.

The first batch of wild boar bacon is almost ready to eat! Chen Weidong took two strips of bacon out of the cellar and decided to eat them tonight.

In the evening, there were not many dumplings left from lunch, so Liu Xueting fried the dumplings, steamed a few buns, and fried a large portion of bacon.

The little girls gathered around the table, eating with gusto.

"Xue Ting, your second sister didn't say anything to you today, right?" Chen Weidong suddenly thought of something and asked with concern.

"No? What's wrong?"

While feeding the hungry Xiaoliu, Liu Xueting reached out and tucked the loose hair behind her ears.

"nothing!!"

Chen Weidong said with a smile.

"Did Second Sister ask you to tell me something? Did I do something wrong? It seems Second Sister wants to tell me something today!"

Liu Xueting stared at Chen Weidong with her big eyes, clearly black and white.

I have to say that Liu Xue looks really cute now, just like Xiaoliu in her arms.

"Of course not. My second sister has always been very satisfied with you. It's just about the child. You know what my mother is going to say to you. Don't take it to heart."

"I don't know what mom's temper has been like over the years, so don't worry! Besides, what mom said is right! I want it too, but I'm afraid it will be another daughter!" Liu Xueting whispered.

"What's wrong with daughters? I like them very much. Besides, with your ability as a man, it's more than enough to raise ninety daughters, let alone six!"

Liu Xueting smiled and said, "Listen to what this guy is saying, he's almost going to the sky!"

"Dad, where did you get ninety daughters? Do you have daughters besides us? Where are they?"

Chen Weidong almost choked on his food because of Sini's words "Conspicuous Bag".

Liu Xueting almost burst out laughing.

Hahaha, my Si Ni is still the best. I let you brag, let me see how you respond this time!

"What nonsense are you talking about? Eat your meal!"

Chen Weidong smiled and picked up a big piece of meat for her and stuffed it into her mouth.

Si Ni's mouth was blocked, but she was still whimpering, causing the other children to burst into laughter.
Wu Ni didn't understand anything, and she just followed along and giggled. She even deliberately grabbed a piece of meat and stuffed it into her mouth, imitating Si Ni's behavior and whining.

"Idiot! Can you learn something good?"

Chen Weidong held Wu Ni on his lap.
