The whole mountain is my hunting ground.

Chapter 184 The Sky-Price Lynx Skin

Lynx has a strong body.

Climbing mountains and ridges, climbing trees and climbing rocks are all easy.

After peeling off the skin, it is really a whole body of tendon meat.

Xing San was very vigorous in cooking. He chopped the meat and bones into large pieces with a small hand axe, and put them in a pot under cold water.

When the water boiled, Xing San picked up a scallion from the bottom of the wooden frame, peeled off the outer skin of the scallion, and without washing it, he began to break the scallion from the white side with his hands, and threw two sections into the pot.

This meat has been steamed for an hour, but I can't even pierce it with chopsticks.

After nearly two and a half points, it is considered bad.

Xing San took the meat out of the pot with a strainer, and washed the meat again with cold water from the vat. Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu stepped forward to help. The three of them each took a small knife and shaved the meat from the bone down.

As for Xu Changlin, the old man is the most leisurely, sitting cross-legged on the kang eating round dates.

Jujube is a small wild kiwi fruit, but there is no hair on the outside, so you don't need to peel the skin when eating.

The taste is sour and sweet. If you wait until after the autumn frost, after being beaten by the frost, and then pick it up and eat it, the taste will be even more delicious.

It is not easy for people in mountainous areas. They may not be able to eat an apple all year round. This round date has become the most commonly eaten fruit by mountain people.

Of course, it is impossible to eat fresh ones at this time. The round dates that Xing San took out were picked up from the mountains when winter just started.

At that time, the fruit was already frozen, and he brought it back and buried it in the snow in front of the house. It was not until today when the roe deer was buried in the snow that it accidentally came out.

Xing San took two handfuls into the house and put them in the basin. After adding water to the basin, less than half an hour later, the round dates became soft and not completely melted. is delicious.

When the three of them shaved off all the meat, although it was filled in a pot, a lynx weighing more than 50 kilograms was bled, skinned, deboned, and then the head, claws, and tail were removed, and after blanching, only The next ten catties of meat.

Xing San followed Xu Changlin's instructions, put dried chilies in the meat, and fried them over high heat.

The meat of wild beasts in the mountains had a more or less stinky smell, and so did the lynx, but as Xing San stir-fried, Zhao Jun and the others smelled a special smell of meat.

Xing San lived in the mountains, so he didn't have any condiments, so he poured some soy sauce, sprinkled a pinch of salt, and put it out of the pot.

A large pot full of meat was steaming and fragrant, and Xing San brought it to the table. Li Baoyu quickly cleaned the pot, and then Zhao Jun put the sorghum rice into the pot to stew the rice.

This is prepared steamed sorghum rice.

"Man, come quickly!" At this moment, Xing San greeted the two of them, he and Xu Changlin were already sitting on the kang, eating and drinking.

Zhao Jun went to the kang, and stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat from the basin. Because Xu Changlin said to fry it in large pieces, the basin was full of large pieces of meat, each piece was five or six centimeters long.

"Well, delicious!" Zhao Jun hadn't even waited to eat, when Li Baoyu's admiration came from beside him.

Xing San took a sip of his wine and said with a smile: "It's also the first time I've eaten this stuff, don't mention it, the taste is quite special."

Since they all said it was delicious, Zhao Jun also took a bite. The meat was really like what Xu Changlin said, it was garlic clove meat, which was the same as the meat on both sides of the back of the fish, except that the fish was cooked as soon as it was touched. Minced, and this meat is particularly firm.

Zhao Jun chewed carefully, and Xing San put a lot of peppers, which suppressed most of the smell of mutton, but couldn't suppress the slight sourness in the meat.

There are sour and spicy, accompanied by the smell of meat, the four of them gathered around the big pot and ate the meat.

Satisfied with wine and food, put out the kerosene lamp and go to sleep.

Waking up the next morning, Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu were baking dumplings in front of the clay stove. Xing San took out a small paper note folded into a square from the pocket of a gray cloth hanging on the wall in the kang, and handed it to Zhao Jun said: "This is that Fanger, take a look."

Zhao Jun opened it, and saw more than a dozen medicines neatly written on it, with the corresponding dosage behind each medicine name.

When Zhao Jun saw the handwriting, he knew that the person who wrote the prescription was not an ordinary person.

He memorized the prescription in his heart, and then returned it to Xing San. Xing San went to the kang and stuffed the note back into his pocket.

When Xing San got down from the kang, he took down the box from the wooden shelf, took out a matchbox from it, opened it deliberately, and saw that it was full of medicines, so he handed it to Zhao Jun.

Zhao Jun thanked Xing San, and ate grilled dumplings and muddled porridge in the basement, and then he and Li Baoyu took their leave first.

It was just after seven o'clock when they left Dixonzi, because they didn't take Xu Changlin with them, the two of them hurried on their way without wasting time, and they arrived at Tunkou before nine o'clock.

Seeing the four dogs running towards the village, Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu didn't go home, but went directly to the station.

After waiting for the station, within three to five minutes, the small train slowly came.

The two boarded the car, found a corner in the car and stayed at the stop, got off the car and went straight to the state-run store.

It was the same store, the same two long tables, and the same two staff from last time.

It's just that there are several leather sellers standing in front of the long table today.

An old man with a goatee took out rolls of yellow leaves from a hemp bag, and the two employees, one checked the count, and the other kept the account and paid the money.

The old man got the money, put it into the inner pocket of the padded jacket, and walked outside with a smile on his face.

As soon as the old man left, a man in his 40s stepped forward and took out mostly yellow leaves and some gray skins.

He took the money and left too.

After they left, in front of the long table, apart from Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu, there was only one man wearing a blue padded jacket and holding a nine-point pocket.

"Are you here again?" The male employee behind the long table greeted him, and the two seemed to be very familiar with each other.

The man smiled, took out a small cloth pocket from the pocket, poured out two dried bear gall bladders and handed it over.

The male employee took the bear bile and looked at it twice, then handed it to the female employee next to him. The female employee took the bear bile with one hand and took out a small plastic box from the drawer of her desk with the other hand.

Opening the plastic box, the female employee took out a balance and put it on the long table.

She picked up a bear gall, put it on one end of the scale, and started tossing the weights.

When the balance was balanced, she took down the bear bile, pulled a piece of paper from the table behind her, wrote down the weight of the bear bile on the paper, and put the bear bile on the paper.

Then, call another one, and do the same.

After weighing the bear bile, the female employee took another piece of paper and did a multiplication operation on it. After the result was obtained, she said to the bear bile owner: "Two bear bile, three thousand one hundred and eight."

"How many?"

"How many?"

There were two "how much", one from the owner of the bear gallbladder, and one from Li Baoyu who was watching the fun.

The bear gall owner's voice was not loud, but Li Baoyu's voice was not low, not only that, his voice was very sudden, which startled the three of them.

Seeing the two salesmen and the owner of the bear gallbladder looking at him, Li Baoyu was not stage-frightened, and asked directly, "What bear gallbladder is it? So expensive? My uncle is here to sell it, why didn't you give such a high price?"

No wonder Li Baoyu was bluffing, when Zhao Youcai came to sell bear bile the year before last, the copper bile was not sold at this price.

And just now, the male employee and the owner of the bear bile seemed to be acquaintances, which made Li Baoyu think a lot.

Li Baoyu was tall and burly, with a loud voice, and immediately stunned the two employees.

The owner of the bear bile was also a little confused, but he was not called by Li Baoyu, but rather surprised by the price.

I heard him ask: "Since when did black blind gallbladder become so valuable?"

"The price just went up three days ago." The male employee replied.

The female employee at the side gave Li Baoyu a hard look, and then asked the owner of the bear bile: "These two, three thousand one hundred and eight, can you sell them?"

"Sell! Sell!" The bear gall owner nodded hastily.

Hearing that he was selling it, the female employee reached out and took down a bear bile, including the paper underneath it, and simply wrapped the bear bile with the paper that recorded the weight of the bear bile.

The same is true for the other one.

As for the male employee, he took out four packs of Great Unity from the drawer. He first put three packs in front of the bear bile owner, and then took out eighteen packs from the other pack.

When the male employee handed the [-] sheets of Da Tuan to the owner of the bear bile, he said, "Check it out."

"Hey, hey." The owner of the bear gallbladder took the money, counted clumsily, and could not stop smiling.

It's all his money, and the male employees don't care what he checks, they just ask Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu, "What are you two selling?"

Zhao Jun stretched out his hand and pulled Li Baoyu. At this time, the boy was watching the man check the money, and he didn't even hear what the male employee said to him.

Being pulled by Zhao Jun, Li Baoyu turned to look at Zhao Jun, stared at him, and asked, "Brother, what's the matter?"

"Take out the leather."

"Hey." Li Baoyu hurriedly took out the roll of lynx skin that Xu Changlin had given him from his pocket, and handed it to the male staff first.

Seeing that the thing was wrapped in cloth, the male employee was stunned when he untied the rope and opened the outer cloth.

"Lynx!" He was from the city after all, the male employee didn't call him a tiger cub, but called Lynx instead.

As soon as he called Lynx, the female employee sitting at the side immediately got up, leaned over and reached for it, and said, "Show me."

Not only her, but the man checking the money at the side didn't even check the money at this time, just like Li Baoyu just now, his eyes followed the lynx skin.

The female employee took the lynx skin that was rolled into a barrel, and unfolded it on the long table. A piece of lynx skin appeared in front of everyone, intact and dry.

Seeing that the two employees were looking at the leather, touching the leather and not talking, Li Baoyu asked, "What's the matter? Are you going to accept it or not?"

As soon as Li Baoyu said this, the male employee looked up at Li Baoyu, didn't say anything at first, but quickly nodded and said: "Take it, take it!"

After speaking, he turned around and took out the measuring tape from the drawer, pulled it away from his head with a snap, and came to the long table, measuring the lynx skin up, down, left, and right.

After waiting for the measurement, the male employee took a piece of paper to write down the length and width, and then said to Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu, "Little brother, wait a moment, I'll make a phone call."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked back, and there was another room inside.

After a while, the male employee went back and forth, and when he came back, he said to Zhao Jun, "Three thousand two, can you sell it?"
