War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 977

At the junction of the redwood forest and the sugar maple forest, under Wei Ran's suggestion, Tantu left first with the shell casings and contents taken from the tree. Wei Ran put away his binoculars and returned to Kou Kou alone. Waiting for someone's side.

"Why did you go there just now?" Sui Sui, who had been watching Kou Kou's "performance", asked without looking back.

"Take things down from the tree"

Wei Ran briefly explained what he had just discovered, and when the other party looked back at him, he immediately compared his thumbs and said, "The things were taken away by Sister Tantu, she will ask her father to see if there is anything wrong. Discover."

"Oh oh oh" Sui Sui nodded, and then asked pretending to be obsequious, "How about doing me a favor later?"

"Why?" Wei Ran, who sensed something was wrong, asked vigilantly.

"Do you want to eat venison skewers?" Sui Sui asked with a smile while hugging Wei Ran's arm.

"I"

"I knew you wanted to eat!"

Sui Sui didn't give Wei Ran a chance to speak at all, pointing to the set of moose on the deerskin spread out on the cargo bed of the truck, he asked, "Wait for the University of Wei to work hard, wash those large intestines, small intestines, stomach bags and so on. How about clean?"

"Why don't you do the job of dumping shit yourself?" Wei Ran asked angrily.

"I can't wash it clean." Sui Sui asked confidently with her hands on her hips, "I brought butter hot pot base, so you can say whether you want to eat it or not!"

"Where did you bring it?" Wei Ran asked in astonishment.

"I bought it in a Chinese supermarket in Columbia! I also bought a large bundle of bamboo sticks."

Sui Sui said proudly, "I guessed that there must be a lot of delicious prey here, originally we just wanted to catch a wild boar or something, but we didn't expect such a big moose to come to our door by accident.

hum!In short, you can say whether you want to eat or not!Either eat skewers with us, or go to eat the secret Indian barbecue of Sister Tantu. "

"Deal, I'll wash it."

Wei Ran happily walked out of the choice. It's really no wonder that the barbecue made by the sister Tantu who was more talented in telling horror stories than barbecue last night was unpalatable, and it really didn't suit his Chinese stomach.

"Coco!"

Sui Sui immediately gave an OK gesture to Ko Kou who was still busy carving up venison not far away on the roof of the car.

After getting the signal, Koko, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately took the rope thrown by Anfisa, firmly tied the hind legs of the moose that had been skinned and gutted, and then threw the rope over the branch with rounded arms.

On the other side, Anfeya picked up the rope and quickly tied it to the trunk of a sugar maple tree, while Sui Sui pressed the switch of the winch to help Kou Kou release the trailer that was originally used to hang the moose hook.

When the winch hook was retracted, Sui Sui immediately stretched out her paw and patted Wei Ran's shoulder, and said with a playful smile, "Little comrade, remember to wash it clean."

Knowing that these girls who love cleanliness are not to be expected in this job, Wei Ran resigned himself to getting into the cab of the pickup truck, and drove to The edge of the farm acts as a canal for the land boundary.

He looked left and right to see if there was no one there, and then looked across to see the same endless redwood forest. Without psychological pressure, Wei Ran took out his Mauser bayonet and rinsed it in the cold and rushing river. child's stomach pouch.

Under the washing of the current, all kinds of undigested messy things were dissolved into the clear river water, and by the way, it also added some vigorous seasoning to the domestic water of the RV campground downstream.

After turning the moose's hair belly over and scouring it fiercely, some unreasonable historian cut up the large intestine and small intestine into pieces, humming an out-of-tune tune for his own amusement, and tearing it up. Carefully turning it over, he rubbed a handful of grass on a big rock vigorously.

While he, an unscrupulous foodie from the mysterious ancient country of the East, was busy cleaning the ingredients, the Katenka sisters also returned to the wooden house where they stayed last night, rode two four-wheeled motorcycles, and moved the cut venison like ants. I sent it back again and again.

I don't know if it's Kou Kou, a native French girl who wants to show off their French cuisine, or Sui Sui wants to show off the "dark cuisine" from China.

In short, when Wei Ran drove that poor little truck and pulled a whole hang that was washed clean and even smelled like green grass back to the wooden house, these girls only left a deer in front of them. The legs, and the remaining hundreds of kilograms of venison, were all sent to the freezer in the sugar factory dormitory at the entrance of the farm.

There is no nonsense at all. Under Kou Kou's skillful skills, the meat from a whole deer leg was picked clean, but the bones that were picked off were smashed open by Sui Sui clumsily with an axe. A large bag of butter hot pot base ingredients was thrown into the soup bucket to cook the bone soup.

The Katenka sisters are also not idle. Although the two girls have no talent for cooking, it is no problem to help Chuaner make a fire.

Unlike Wei Ran and the others who prepared offal skewers, the girl Kou Kou chopped up some of the offal for her and added various seasonings prepared in advance, then poured all of them into the cleaned meat with a spoon. The moose intestines were sent to the oven.

Gradually, when the aroma diffused from the oven, Wei Ran and the others also threw all kinds of odd skewers into the braised spicy food one by one according to the required length of cooking time. Fragrant soup bucket.

Just one minute before the cooking was ready, Tantu, who had just left with the shell casings, also brought her father, Tatanka, and hurried over on a four-wheeled motorcycle.

"God is my witness, I can smell a wonderful aroma right at the entrance of the farm."

While talking, Tatanka also brought down a large case of cold beer and two large bottles of ice wine from the motorcycle, "Would you mind inviting us to taste the food you made?"

"Of course I don't mind"

Kou Kou responded in slightly unfamiliar German, and her gaze, like everyone else, subconsciously looked at the shell casing that Tantu took out from her backpack, and the contents of the shell shell.

"Just now Tantu found me with those things, and told me where he found them."

Tatanka took the initiative to help Wei Ran move the boiling soup bucket from the bonfire to one side, and at the same time kept saying, "But I'm sorry, I never knew that there were these things on that redwood tree, let alone Do those things have anything to do with my father?"

After receiving a bunch of moose small intestines with red oil soup from Wei Ran, Tatanka carefully bit a section, grinning and chewing while continuing, "And Tantu and I just used Wikipedia at home. After finding the photo of the missing captain, I can be sure that he is definitely not my father. Also, the power supply of the farm has just been restored."

Speaking of which, Tatanka has already put a whole string of spicy and spicy small intestines into his mouth, and while continuing to chew, he changed the subject and asked, "Finally, what is this thing? It's delicious."

"The small intestine of the moose is very delicious, right?" The Katenka sisters, who also had a string in their hands, answered this question in German in unison.

Unexpectedly, this unexpected answer made Tatanka stop chewing, and even the creases on the old man's face were completely stretched because of his rounded eyes.

Before he could decide whether to swallow the food in his mouth or spit it out, Tantu, who had just taken a bunch of fatty sausages and had already eaten a small piece, looked at Kou Kou with a pale face.

"Moose Intestine"

Kou Kou shrugged, and gave an answer that made her collapse in a natural tone, "Don't worry, Victor washed it very clean, I checked it carefully."

Looking down at the small half of green fragrant leaves stuck in the gaps of the diamond-shaped sausage, Tantu obviously misunderstood something, covered his mouth and rushed to a sugar maple tree not far away, holding onto the trunk and Started to retch.

In contrast, Tatanka finally swallowed the small intestine with difficulty, which was actually very good in terms of texture, taste and even appearance.

Of course, the spiciness that followed made him forget to think about whether to continue eating or to refuse, and subconsciously took the beer from Sui Sui, bit off the bottle cap and took a sip from the boss with his neck raised.

Although the start was a bit difficult, but seeing that no matter Wei Ran or Sui Sui, or Kajianka sisters or even Kou Kou, you are all a bunch of me, and you are very happy to eat a bottle of me, Tatanka this The old Indian man with bare feet and shawl hair, and Tan Tu, who had lived in France for a few years and had "some experience" in food, also carefully picked up the second skewer.

Soon, in the breath of cool air from time to time, the father and daughter joined the ranks of holding beer bottles and stepping on chairs, "snoozing" on the floor.

A lunch that was late for a long time until the sun completely set was a joy for both the host and the host. At the very least, Tatanka and Tantu, the father and daughter, each drank seven or eight bottles of beer alone in order to calm the spiciness in their mouths. Kou, a young rich woman, also amazed everyone with her drinking capacity.

In general, except for Anfisa, who deliberately controlled the amount of alcohol and drank only one bottle, everyone else drank a lot-of course, Sui Sui seemed to be the only one who was drunk.

Helping to clean up the kitchen waste, Tatanka pointed to the shell casings hanging on the pillar outside the wooden house and said in German, "Miss Koko, since those things have nothing to do with my father, and they were not found in the wooden house Yes, it’s better to let you handle it, this is your land after all, isn’t it?”

"I'll take good care of them," Kou Kou, who had drank at least ten bottles of beer in the afternoon, made a promise while fanning her flushed little face with her hands.

"In this case, let's go back first." After Tatanka finished speaking, he opened the passenger door of the small truck and wobbled into it. Immediately afterwards, Tantu also got into the driver's door from the other side. room.

"Can they still drive back?" Kou Kou muttered a little worriedly.

"I'll send them back"

Anfisa had already started the quad bike while speaking, and followed the small truck driven by Tantu to the entrance of the farm without any haste.

When the headlights were blocked by the sugar maple tree, Kou Kou breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and helped Wei Ran support Sui Sui, who was drowsy, and asked as she walked into the wooden house, "You seem to be interested in those things in the shell casings. very interested?"

"That is, after all, a missing destroyer captain"

Wei Ran stopped at the door of the wooden house, looked at the shell case under the corridor lamp and replied truthfully, "Anyway, in history, this captain is an undisputed hero. If it can be proved that the contents of the shell case It will be a very meaningful thing if it is his relic, or to find out his whereabouts."

"In this case, I will give you the things in the shell casings. Also, you and Aurora should sleep in the upstairs bedroom tonight. I guess she will definitely need your care."

Kou Kou helped to open the door while speaking, and when Wei Ranheng came in with the confused Sui Sui in his arms, he asked almost jokingly, "Or I'll pay you to investigate the missing person." How is your captain?"

"You drank too much, but thank you for letting me out of the bedroom." Wei Ran responded with a smile, and walked to the second floor with Sui Sui in his arms.

"I'm not joking." Kou Kou pointed to Sui Sui lying in Wei Ran's arms, "Aurora taught me."

"she?"

Wei Ran looked down at Sui Sui, who was drunk and dazed, and simply stopped, carefully placed her on the bench beside the table and sat down, then looked at Kou Kou, and asked with great interest, "She taught you what?"

"Aurora said, whether it is a country or a city, either pay enough taxes and provide enough jobs for this country or city like her. Or, like you, contribute to the honor of this country or city Make enough contributions, and only then will you be recognized.”

Kou Kou hiccupped while covering her mouth, and then continued, "Also, she said that it doesn't make sense for one person to become a rich man. Only by making everyone around him rich can one's wealth become enough. Be safe, there will be enough people to help you guard your wealth."

"That's what she said?" Wei Ran looked at Sui Sui in surprise, and he admitted that he really underestimated this girl who was out of shape all day long.

"She says she's the queen of a city now," Koko said with a hint of admiration, "and she's going to be queen of a river."

"She is now called Queen Inta by the Inta people."

Anfeya, who also had a lot of drinking, explained while throwing the blanket on the hammock on the first floor, "She is also going to be the queen on both sides of the Tunguska River, and she is going to bring the poor there to make money together."

After finishing speaking, the K-type girl who also seemed to be drinking too much stretched out her hand to hook Kou Kou's neck, and encouraged her with a hint of drunkenness, "Ko Kou, you have to work hard, your start is better than Sister Aurora's!" Much better, our boss Victor is a poor guy who can't do business, and he can't help Sister Aurora at all. Unlike you, there is a foundation behind you that can provide all kinds of help at any time."

"Am I a poor man?"

Wei Ran murmured and rolled his eyes, finally seeing that he was not serious about the fact that Katenka was rarely drunk.

"I burp—! I will try my best!"

Kou Kou, who was obviously not short of money but was tricked into falling into the eyes of money, clenched her fists and confidently made a promise, but she completely forgot the original intention of starting this topic.

"Okay, you will sleep in the same room with me today, and my sister will sleep in the hammock here." After Anfeiya finished speaking, she walked up to the second floor with Kou Kou, ignoring the two bosses beside her.

"Where did you learn all this advanced language?"

Wei Ran looked at the girl who was lying on the bench talking and drooling, muttered something to himself, bent down to pick her up, and walked up to the second floor.

As for the whereabouts of the cannonball casing hanging on the pillar outside the door, it will naturally be discussed tomorrow.After all, the cannon shell has no legs, so it can't run at all.
