The whole mountain is my hunting ground.

Chapter 499 Treasure Hiding in the Cellar (September Monthly Ticket Adds 9)

Jie Chen complained in a very low voice, but Zhao Jun is right in front of him, can you still hear him?
Zhao Jun held the pork in one hand, pushed back the minister with the other, and then walked towards Ma Dafu, saying: "Master Ma, I brought you a piece of meat from the wild boar I killed yesterday."

Ever since he got engaged to Ma Ling, Zhao Jun hadn't hunted less, but he didn't bring much of the prey to the Ma family. It was just that during the festival, he bought less gifts to see.

This is a matter of propriety. There is an old saying in Northeast China: what you lay down is what you get.

These two people have brought a lot of meat to the Ma family before they got married, so what should they do after they get married?

Seeing that they are going to get married in the next year, Zhao Jun has always kept his sense of proportion very well.

But today, his family sent dumplings to Mrs. Jiang. If they don't get a piece of meat for Ma's family, the old Ma's family will have to think: We are all going to be a family, so why not be as good as an outsider?

So, Zhao Jun brought a piece of wild boar to Ma's house, and this piece of wild meat was not much, only about five catties.

"Good boy." Ma Dafu reached out to take the meat, smiled at Zhao Jun, then saw Jie Chen behind Zhao Jun, and greeted him, "Quick, bring your friend into the room for a while."

"Yeah, sit down for a while." Zhao Jun smiled and said, "It's time to see my aunt again. By the way, sir, is my aunt's foot okay?"

"See you!" Ma Dafu led the two of them inside, and said to Zhao Jun half-turned, "It's all thanks to you for bringing so much badger oil to Mrs. Ni."

"It should be." Zhao Jun was smiling, but at this time he was passing by the place where Ma Dafu was squatting just now, and the stench... In the Northeast dialect, he slapped his nose.

But that's definitely not what Jiechen said, who pulled it there.Instead, there was a plastic sheet, which seemed to be wrapped with something, and the smell was emitted by that thing.

Zhao Jun knew that it was not stinky tofu, let alone Mi Tian Gong, but Ma Dafu's specialty.

Sure enough, Zhao Jun and Xie Chen didn't ask anyone, they just heard Ma Dafu pointing there and said: "Come on, my uncle will show you something good."

When Xie Chen heard this, he was very conflicted, for fear of seeing something disgusting.But when Zhao Jun followed Ma Dafu, Xie Chen thought: This uncle is Brother Jun's future father-in-law, so he shouldn't embarrass his future son-in-law with messy things.

It was with this in mind that Xie Chen followed Zhao Jun over.

When I got closer, I saw seven or eight crucian carp wrapped in plastic cloth.

The crucian carp was wrapped in a plastic sheet and placed in the sun to dry. I don’t know how long it took. The belly of each fish was swollen, and the fish was hot when touched through the plastic sheet.Also, it stinks.

Ma Dafu squatted down, raised his hands high to hold the wild pork, and at the same time pulled the plastic sheet with his hands. At the same time, he turned around and asked Zhao Jun and Jie Chen, "Do you know what this is?"

"Ma Dafu!" At this time, Wang Cuihua's voice came from the window, but the voice was a bit ruthless.

Wang Cuihua and Ma Ling's mother and daughter were in the room, but they felt their faces were hot. Her family, Ma Dafu, picked up some stinky fish, and asked the child what it was?

It's such a shame to throw it home.

After all, Ma Ling is a girl, no matter how anxious she is, she can't go out and call her father.

As for Wang Cuihua, her foot was injured and she couldn't get off the ground. It was Ma Ling who helped her up from the kang and asked her to stop Ma Dafu's "stupid" behavior with a loud shout.

At this time, Ma Yang was laughing and laughing, and the kid didn't help his sister, just laughed and laughed.

Wang Cuihua, who was already angry, picked up the bump on the broom for sweeping the kang, and threw it at Ma Yang viciously.Just one note, and this brat was sent to Westinghouse.

Ma Ling hurriedly picked up the broom and put it aside, then looked in the mirror and stroked her hair again.

In the yard, Ma Dafu was taken aback by his wife's yelling, and Zhao Jun quickly smoothed things over and said, "Oh, come in and see my aunt."

After Zhao Jun finished speaking, he led Xie Chen into the house without waiting for Ma Dafu.

Ma Dafu shook his head, closed the plastic sheet, and followed Zhao Jun and Xie Chen into the house.

In the house, Zhao Jun came in to see Wang Cuihua, and asked about Wang Cuihua's foot injury with concern.

But Wang Cuihua called Zhao Jun and Xie Chen to sit down, and asked Ma Ling to pour water.

Zhao Jun was not in a hurry to leave today because he had to give Wang Cui time so that she could explain his father-in-law's unreliable behavior.

At this time, Ma Dafu came in from the house, took the meat and talked to Wang Cuihua, and said: "Cuihua, look, the child is here, bring us a piece of meat."

Looking at the meat, Wang Cuihua gave Ma Dafu a hard look, then turned her head and said to Zhao Jun, "Zhao Jun, thank you, auntie."

Zhao Jun smiled and said, "I saw Ma Ling making soy sauce just now, so I was thinking of bringing you a piece of meat and stewing it."

As soon as Zhao Jun's words came out, Wang Cuihua was secretly happy. She turned to Ma Dafu who was standing at the door, and said, "Look at the kid, he knows to give me a whole piece of meat. It's hard for you to take a day off. You're either fishing or fishing. Shrimp, it’s all hair, my foot is broken, can I eat it?”

Zhao Jun also cooperated, and without waiting for Ma Dafu to answer, he said, "Ah, my uncle went fishing?"

"Isn't it?" Wang Cuihua spread her hands and said, "Tell me, good crucian melon seeds, how good is it to eat after stewing? Don't do it! You have to put it outside and cover it with a plastic sheet, and say that when it smells, what kind of fish hair should be fried."

Stir-fried fish hair is a way of eating from Shandong, which is to cover up the smell of good fish.

No, they said it wasn't smelly, it was hair.

No matter what it is, after the fish smells bad, wash it twice with clean water.At this time, the meat and thorns in the belly of the fish are separated.

Then, put a lot of oil in the pot, and don’t put any other seasonings, even salt, and fry the fish in the pot until the fish meat is as fine as hair, and the bones and bones of the fish are also crispy.

Zhao Jun had eaten this kind of food several times in his previous life, and it was all from Ma Dafu's hands.

Not to mention, that thing, you have to get used to eating it, the taste...isn't great.

In this way, the matter of the Ma family eating stinky fish was explained clearly.Zhao Jun introduced Jie Chen to the Ma family again, and then sat for a while before getting up to leave.

After Zhao Jun and Xie Chen left, Ma Dafu was first scolded by Wang Cuihua, and then by Ma Ling. Angrily, Ma Dafu went to the yard to build a few stones as a stove, and directly lit a fire to fry fish hairs. .

And Zhao Jun and Jie Chen came out of Ma's house and drove all the way to Jiang's house.At this time, the old lady had finished eating the dumplings and returned to the house, and the smoke in the house was almost gone.

Zhao Jun and Xie Chen moved the firewood out of the car. Zhao Jun went into the house and led the old lady to lead the kang, and then he and Xie Chen stacked the firewood in front of the house one by one, and finally covered it with a big tarpaulin.

Zhao Jun took Jiechen into the house again, and the two of them moved out the large tank for storing water in the outer room, moved it to the pressurized well, and pumped water to brush the tank.

After moving the vat back into the house, Zhao Jun and Xie Chen carried water again and filled the vat with water.

At this time, remembering that he still had a lot of work at home, Zhao Jun asked Xie Chen to go back first, and he stayed to help the old lady clean the pots and bowls.

After putting all the bowls and chopsticks in the bowl rack, Zhao Jun turned around and saw the old lady standing at the door of the east room looking at him.

Zhao Jun smiled at her and said, "Jiang Nai, I've cleaned up everything that needs to be cleaned up for you. You heat up the kang at night, and cook for yourself tomorrow morning."

As he spoke, Zhao Jun reached into his pocket and took out a wad of money.

But he forgot that at noon, in order to appease Zhao Youcai, he gave Zhao Youcai the only two ten-yuan bills.At this time, the biggest ticket in his pocket was only five yuan.

Zhao Jun spread out all the money, squeezed his hands together, saw that there were only more than ten yuan, and said, "Jiang Nai."

As soon as Zhao Jun looked up, he saw the old lady holding a stack of big unity in her hand, and smiled at him, "Son, come here."

"Ah?" Zhao Jun was taken aback, but took the money back.At this time, he also came to his senses, the old Jiang boss spent most of his life as a blind man, and they are still just an old couple, so can they have no money?
The old lady generously counted out ten cards of Great Unity, took them out together, handed them to Zhao Jun, and said, "Boy Zhao, you take this money."

"No." Hearing this, Zhao Jun hurriedly took a step back, pushed his hand out and said, "Jiang Nai, can I ask for your money? Besides, those things I gave you are not worth anything? Are you What are you doing?"

"You child." The old lady smiled and said, "Listen to me, this money is not for you, but for you. When I need something, I have to trouble you to buy it for me."

"Ah!" Hearing what the old lady said, Zhao Jun took the money, put it in his pocket, and said to the old lady: "Jiang Nai, then I'll charge you 100 yuan. If you need anything, I don't care." At home, you tell my mother."

"Yeah." The old lady responded with a smile. She didn't need anything, but she found an excuse to get some for Zhao Jun because she didn't have any money in his pocket.

At this time, Zhao Jun said to the old lady: "Jiang Nai, I'm going to Lingnan in the next two days. You can see what you need, and I'll bring it back for you."

"Lingnan?" The old lady heard that Zhao Jun was going to Lingnan, and said, "I don't need anything, but I have something to do."

"What's the matter?" Zhao Jun smiled and said, "Old lady, if you have anything to do, just tell me."

Upon hearing this, the old lady walked from the door of the east house to the stove pit, then pointed to the cellar door, and said to Zhao Jun, "Go down to the cellar, there are things there."

In the northeastern countryside, every household must have a cellar, otherwise they would not be able to store autumn vegetables, let alone eat in winter.

As for this cellar, some people dug it in the yard, and some people dug it in the house.Like Zhao Jun's house, the floor of the house is paved with bricks, and the cellar is dug in the yard.In Jiang's house, there was no floor, so the cellar was dug in front of the stove.But there are wooden boards supporting it, and it is fine for people to walk on the wooden boards.

Hearing the old lady say that there is something in the cellar, Zhao Jun was taken aback, and asked, "Why did you save the vegetables a while ago? Are they not rotten now?"

"It's not food." The old lady whispered to Zhao Jun, "It's the guts of a blind man."

"What?" Zhao Jun said in shock, "How can a black blind man keep his guts in the cellar?"

"Keep your voice down." The old lady waved at Zhao Jun and led Zhao Jun out of the house to the warehouse.

When they arrived at the warehouse, the old lady opened the door and went in, took the shovel behind the door, handed it to Zhao Jun and said, "Go, let's dig!"

At this time, Zhao Jun was looking at the roof of the warehouse, and he promised the old lady to come and help her repair the shed tomorrow, so he had to do what he said.

But when he glanced around, he saw two aluminum lunch boxes hanging from the beams of the house. Zhao Jun took the shovel in one hand and pointed to the aluminum lunch boxes with the other and asked, "Jiang Nai, what's in there?"

"Bangzi." The old lady turned around and took a look, but she thought of her old man, and sighed softly: "It's probably damp, so it can't be used anymore."

"Let's go into the house." Seeing that he had said something wrong, Zhao Jun quickly helped the old lady back into the house.

After returning to the house, the old lady closed the door, inserted it from the inside, then pointed to the cellar, and said, "Dig slowly at the western corner."

"Hey." Zhao Jun opened the door of the cellar. The cellar was only two meters deep, but when Jiang Hua was alive, he and the old lady were not young, so they stepped down the wooden ladder in the cellar.

Zhao Jun stepped down the ladder, dug down two shovels according to the southwest corner pointed by the old lady, and saw something.

But that's not black blind gall, but a wilted, ugly carrot.

Storing radishes is different from storing cabbage and potatoes. It is best to bury them with soil, otherwise radishes are prone to chaff.

Most of these are carrots that were buried last autumn, and fell when digging.

Zhao Jun expanded the range again, but he was careful with every shovel, and he was even more careful when he felt something.

Until I dug out a bag, the outermost part of the bag was plastic sheeting, and there seemed to be butter paper inside.

Zhao Jun raised his hand to ask the old lady, and after getting an affirmative answer, Zhao Jun first sent the shovel up, and then he held the ladder with one hand and the wooden box with the other.

When Zhao Jun lifted the box over the cellar mouth, the old lady didn't go to pick it up. She only waited for Zhao Jun to come up before she took Zhao Jun into the house.The two sat down across the kang table, the old lady pointed to the bag on the kang table, and said to Zhao Jun, "Open it and have a look."

When he was in the outhouse, Zhao Jun removed the plastic sheet with soil on the outermost layer, and then opened the butter paper to reveal a wooden box.

The wooden box is made of yellow glass, with a layer of pine oil painted on the outside. The lid is pushed out from one side, and the other three sides are dovetailed.

After Zhao Jun pushed it away, he saw that there were small butter paper packets inside. Zhao Jun opened it according to the old lady's instructions, and found that three of them were filled with bear bile.

One copper gallbladder and two straw gallbladders were both dried in the shade, but one of the straw gallbladders was broken open, and the bear bile powder inside was also dug out with a spoon.

Putting the three bear gallbladders on the kang table one by one, Zhao Jun's eyes fell on the bottom of the box, where there was a flat butter paper package, which was definitely not bear gallbladder, but rather a book or ledger.

Seeing Zhao Jun looking at her, the old lady raised her head and said, "Open it and have a look."

Zhao Jun took the fourth butter paper package out of the box, opened the butter paper, and saw a small yellow book with four bold characters "Work Manual" written on it.

This was issued by the forest farm in the early years. Zhao Jun held up the pamphlet and handed it to the old lady, but the old lady shook her head and said, "Boy Zhao, open it and have a look."

Zhao Jun put the booklet in front of him, opened the first page, and was stunned!
