The Red Era: Starting from a Truck Driver

Chapter 270: Delicacies from the Mountains and Seas
With the development of the Internet in later times, it is only a long time ago that people can apply for an ID card online in a different place.

The only way to transfer your household registration is to go to the place of your residence to handle it.

Now that Jiang Cheng has a car and time, he naturally plans to go on a self-driving tour, taking his wife and daughter with him, eating and drinking while having fun.

If Jiang Cheng was simply asked to send Zhou Lingying back to Nanjing to register her household registration, as a straight man, he would rather his wife take the fourth daughter to Nanjing by train, and then Jiang Cheng would take the other three daughters himself.

But thinking about the third child, he is too young and needs someone to be around. If no one is around, he will just shout that he needs to poop and pee, but it is not easy for him to poop in his pants. If Jiang Cheng does not go to Nanjing, the third child can be taken away by his wife.

The eldest and the second child are less troublesome, at least they can go to the toilet and wipe their butts. They look like beautiful girls at such a young age. Jiang Chengdu didn't know how long it had been since he slept with the eldest and the second child in his arms.

In fact, if Jiang Juan knew her uncle's idea, she would definitely ask Jiang Cheng to let Zhou Lingying take the second child away, because Jiang Panpan, who was more than four years old, occasionally wet the bed at night.

The bed-wetting problem is better in summer, just wash the sheets and dry them directly. In winter, you have to dry them by the brazier.

Jiang Cheng prepared a rifle and an air gun, and brought a lot of food and drinks. He even brought a homemade barbecue grill, and the trunk was filled with so much stuff that it was not closed.

I told Jiang Juan to take care of the chickens that lay eggs at home and cook the meat in the refrigerator. I still had to go to the market to buy vegetables, but I had all the other seasonings and rice and flour at home.

Then on March 25th, Jiang Cheng set off with his family in a car.

During the two days of preparation, Zhou Lingying was moved by her man again. She was going to Nanjing to transfer her household registration, and her parents told her on the phone that she could bring her daughter here alone. They said that Jiang Cheng had worked hard for this family over the years.

But Jiang Cheng still took the initiative to drive his family to Zhou Lingying's parents' home. Not only was the journey tiring, but they also had to prepare a lot of gifts.

Jiang Cheng didn't know that Zhou Lingying was moved by him. It was like a fisherman who took his family fishing together. He was the one who enjoyed it. Not only did he have fish to catch, but he also had people to serve him.

There are so many fishermen in later generations, mainly because hunting is not allowed. If there is hunting, who would be so bored as to sit by the river for a whole morning? Even setting up a trap to catch birds in the mountains is more interesting than fishing.

This is a simple truth. If there is a fisherman in the family, then basically everyone in the family will get tired of eating fish. And if the fisherman keeps fishing, he will definitely be disliked.

But hunting is different, the prey is diverse, and when you bring back some prey, your family will praise you. Both the fun and the sense of accomplishment are different.

So in Jiang Cheng's eyes, it was not about going to Nanjing to transfer Zhou Lingying's household registration, but a self-driving hunting tour.

When they set out that day, Jiang Cheng didn’t drive far and went directly to Lushan Mountain in Jiujiang.

There were actually many South China tigers in Lushan in the early days of liberation, but they were almost all hunted out starting in the 1960s, and now there are almost no traces of them.

It was already past four in the afternoon when Jiang Cheng and his family arrived here. This time period is actually when animals are most active.

"Dad, there are monkeys in the tree. They are monkeys."

"Zhao Zhao wants to eat monkey meat."

It is said that monkey brains are delicious, especially when the monkey is alive, you can take out the monkey brains and eat them. But Jiang Cheng has only heard of it, and he wants to try it today.

The so-called delicacies from land and sea in later generations are now basically protected animals. Not to mention eating them, even if you want to see them you can only pay to go to the zoo.

Jiang Cheng came to this era, and he couldn't stop others from eating delicacies from the mountains and the sea. After all, it was not illegal to eat these things without prohibition. He planned to eat everything he could eat.

"Dad, I want to play with the monkey." Jiang Zhaozhao said.

"Dad, I want to play with monkeys too." Jiang Panpan followed up. Play with monkeys, play with Der.

The monkeys of this era were not fed by anyone and were very alert, which was completely different from the wild monkeys that often lived with humans in later generations.

After the monkeys in the forest here, if Jiang Cheng uses the space and enters the forest alone, he has a chance to catch a live monkey. There are macaques here in Lushan, which are not big in size, and adults are about half a meter in size.

But unless you catch a small monkey, a half-meter-sized monkey will not joke when it gets aggressive.

"Monkeys bite people. You can't play with monkeys. If a child is bitten by a monkey, he will be like the monkey and climb up trees without clothes." Jiang Cheng said seriously to coax his two daughters.

Zhou Lingying, who was standing aside, was amused by Jiang Cheng's words. She couldn't imagine what the scene would be like if Jiang Zhaozhao and Jiang Panpan took off all their clothes and climbed up the tree like monkeys.

As for monkey meat, no one has ever eaten it, and no one has ever received any education on animal protection. As I said before, when people of this generation see something with meat, the first thing they think about is how it tastes.

Not to mention a macaque, the same thing would happen if it were a golden monkey.

Frightened by Jiang Cheng, the two daughters changed from playing with monkeys to eating monkeys. Jiang Cheng hadn't hunted for a long time. He looked for a good position and angle, raised his rifle and aimed at a monkey.

Half an hour later, the family had a barbecue at the foot of Mount Lushan. For the sake of eating, Jiang Cheng couldn't be so changeable, so he just ate the monkey brain raw. Or it was said that when it was alive, you could just boil it in water and put it in your mouth.

In addition to getting a monkey, Jiang Cheng also shot a few sparrows with an air gun. There are a lot of sparrows in the forest this month. When the rice harvest is in July, the rice needs to be dried on the ground, and there will be a lot of sparrows at the grain station.

After eating the game, Jiang Cheng drove to Jiujiang while there was still time and found a guesthouse to stay in.

The next day, Jiang Cheng sold the remaining monkey meat to the restaurant, and kept the fur for himself. The price of processed monkey meat is very cheap, and it will go bad if it is not processed.

That is to say, eating wild game is not popular now, but in two years, people will start eating anything rare. If the leaders of counties and cities go to the countryside for inspection and don’t eat something rare, they are not good at their job.

When the time comes, we will give you anything that swims in the water, runs on the mountains, or flies in the Tianshan Mountains, as long as it is edible.

So in two years, if Jiang Cheng brings half a monkey to a restaurant, people will have to pay a high price for it. It is true that there is no harm if there is no trade. It is not yet the time to eat wild game. There are animals everywhere in the mountains and forests in many places.

After a few years, the cadres and leaders took the lead in eating them, and some things that were originally not rare became considered good things by the rural people.

After leaving Jiujiang, we arrived in Anhui that morning. Anhui has more mountains and forests than Jiangxi Province, and this is a holy place for hunting.

In the past, Jiang Cheng only drove to hunt along the way, but now he drives while hunting. He has discovered so many animals in Anhui.

As for what kind of animals they were, we can only say that in later generations, they were all things that would not make a sound once eaten. Jiang Cheng saw some things but still held back, such as the red-crowned crane he found near Ma'anshan.

In some mountain streams, Jiang Cheng got a lot of giant salamanders and put them in the space. There were also monkeys in many places there, but monkey meat was not delicious without cooking, so Jiang Cheng didn't want to hunt them anymore.

In spring, many snakes come out of the forests and are very popular. They are sold at a high price in Hong Kong. People in Hong Kong are no longer full and prefer to eat something different.

Snake soup is popular in Hong Kong, and Jiang Cheng eats it often. He spends some money to find a chef who specializes in making it, and the taste is indeed delicious.

The day before arriving in Nanjing, Jiang Cheng chose to spend the night outside. If he hadn't brought his daughter with him, he wouldn't have stayed at the guesthouse in the city.

That night, Jiang Cheng discovered the "movement" in the woods, and then a large wild boar tied up in the trunk was brought directly to Zhou Lingying's house.
