The whole mountain is my hunting ground.

There is a table in each of the east and west rooms of Zhao Jun's house, and the table is already full of delicious dishes.

A big dish in the middle is braised bear's paw.

After five times of blanching and stewing for an hour and a half, the outer skin of the bear paw has bloomed, exposing the inner tendons and a little palm meat.

Add the authentic soybean soy sauce of this year, and the inside and outside of the bear's paw will be bright red.

Because bear's paws are rich in gelatin, after stewing, the soup does not need to be thickened when braised in brown sauce, it becomes thick because of the gelatin.

The soup hangs sticky on the bear's paw, if you pick up a piece of rotten bear's paw skin with chopsticks, the skin has a layer of thick juice on it, and the bear's paw skin will be sucked into the mouth with just a light sip mouth, and then the thick soup sticks to the lips.

The back paw that Zhao Jun left for his family was split in two before it was braised in soy sauce, and it was now rotten on two large plates.

The method of braised bear meat is similar to that of braised bear paw.But the bear's paw is mostly tendon skin, and the braised bear meat is all the meat from the back thigh of the bear.

These thigh meats had long been soft and rotten, piled up on the big plate piece by piece, exuding a strong aroma.

The other part of the bear meat was stewed with big carrots.This dish is a soup dish. After stewing for half an hour, the soup is white and sprinkled with green onion and coriander. It is mainly fresh.

It is said that you can't have both fish and bear's paw, except for Zhao Jun's family.

First, there is a dish of stewed miscellaneous fish in sauce. Carp and crucian carp are first fried on one side.

This fish was caught by Zhang Yuanmin in the morning, and Wang Meilan stewed it when he came back. He wanted to wait for Zhao Jun and Xie Chen to come back to eat.

But when the four little girls finished eating and went to school, Zhao Jun and the others didn't come back.They didn't come back for dinner and the fish was left untouched until the evening.

Although it is not a freshly made dish, the stewed fish will be even more delicious once it is cooked again.

There is also the willow root fish that Wang Meilan and Yang Yufeng were huddling in the yard when Zhao Jun and the others came back.

This fish is a cold water fish and has high requirements for water quality.This results in a fish with a tasty flesh and a big thorn from head to tail.After being caught by Xu Chunyan and fried in oil, the fried fish and the wrapped noodles are golden and crispy.

Next to the fried fish is fried shrimp. The small river shrimp is fried in oil, and the thin shrimp shells and shrimp heads are crispy.

This dish is delicious and delicious, and the small shrimp has a hint of sweetness when chewing carefully.

And then there's the shredded potatoes, which are used to prepare the burritos.

According to the old lady, take a big pancake, tear some braised bear leg meat, and put it along the middle of the pancake, from one end to the other.

Then, put another potato shreds, and finally put scallions and coriander, roll the cake as thick as a child's arm, open your mouth and take a bite, the cake is crispy, the meat is tender, the potato shreds are soft, and the scallions are sweet and spicy , The fragrance of coriander is amazing!
There are already seven dishes, plus a fried egg sauce, the dishes for today's dinner will be complete.

In terms of the number of dishes, it is not as many as the ones that slaughtered pigs that day, but today these dishes are almost all big dishes.

The dishes are good, and the staple food is also beef!

The sourdough bread, which is about the size of a palm, is baked until golden and crispy on both sides, but white and soft on the inside.

In addition to dough cakes, there are also big oil cakes.

At this time, Wang Meilan was in front of the stove, holding a large pancake and dunking it into the pot. There was a creaking sound, and the smell of noodles and oil wafted into the room.

In the east room, the panels were laid across the kang table, Zhao Ling was rolling the cakes with a rolling pin, Zhao Jun and others chatted beside them.

Suddenly, the smiling Li Ruhai suddenly remembered something, so he got up and walked out.Zhao Jun glanced at his back, but ignored him.

Li Ruhai came out of the back room and walked towards the door when Wang Meilan, who was making pancakes, saw this and hurriedly asked, "Ruhai, it's time for dinner, what are you doing?"

Li Ruhai raised his hand and pointed out, and replied, "I'm going to the latrine."

"Go." Wang Meilan urged: "Come back when you're done. Your father and the others will be home right away. Once they enter the house, we'll have dinner."

Li Ruhai obediently agreed, pushed the door out of Zhao Jun's house, walked out of the courtyard quickly, and trotted towards the small shop.

But on the way, Li Ruhai stopped suddenly, and ran to the small shop in a detour.Even though he ran a little longer, he thought he could avoid Zhao Youcai and the others who were going home.

Li Ruhai came to the small store, pushed the door open and strode in.As soon as he came in, he saw Wang Fu was taking off his coat.

Coincidentally, Wang Fu also just came back.

Li Ruhai swept his eyes around the room, and saw a pile of goods piled up under the east wall.On the two front sacks, there was a marmot hat and a pair of black leather shoes.

"Ruhai!" Yang Xue came out of the back room with a small braised jar, and when she saw Li Ruhai, she smiled and said, "You came at the right time, your Uncle Wang just came back."

"Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang." Li Ruhai was very polite, although his mind was already on the marmot hat and leather shoes, he still greeted Wang Fu and Yang Xue.

Wang Fu put the thin padded jacket on the counter, raised his hand and pointed to the south, and said with a smile, "I bought it for you!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Fu went over to pick up the marmot hat with one hand, and picked the heels of the two leather shoes with the other, brought them to Li Ruhai, and put them on the counter.

Li Ruhai's face was full of smiles, he took the marmot cap and put it on his head, then he took two steps to the left, and a boy wearing a marmot cap appeared in the mirror.

Li Ruhai was so happy that she could not close her mouth from ear to ear, but at this time Yang Xue put the pot on the counter, turned her head to look at Li Ruhai, and said to Wang Fu with a smile: "Don't talk about it, Ruhai looks good wearing it."

These days, marmot hats are a luxury for mountain people.According to their eyes, this hat looks good on anyone.

But when Li Ruhai heard people praise him, more smiles appeared on his face.He raised his hands and moved the sides of the hat.

"Ruhai!" Yang Xue looked at Li Ruhai, and asked with some concern: "What are you buying these things for?"

The condition of the old Li's family is good this year, which is obvious to all in the village, but Li Ruhai's purchase of these is very extravagant in Yang Xue's eyes.

Li Ruhai smiled when he heard the words, turned to Yang Xue and said, "Wear it for work."

"Go to work..." Yang Xue and Wang Fu looked at each other, thinking that you are a child, and you are still a gatekeeper, but you are dressed wider than the field manager and the secretary. Isn't this crazy?

"Ruhai!" Yang Xue often picks up other people's affairs with Li Ruhai, and they must have a good relationship, so at this time she said to Li Ruhai with some worry: "Does your father and mother know? They watch you buy this , can't beat you?"

When Yang Xue said this, Li Ruhai was reaching for the leather shoes. After listening to Yang Xue's words, Li Ruhai's little hand stopped on top of the leather shoes in an instant.

But after hesitating for a moment, Li Ruhai grabbed the leather shoe on the right in his hand.

"It's okay." Li Ruhai smiled and said, "I just said I don't care about borrowing from others."

"Ah?" Wang Fu, who was about to get a bowl of soup, was taken aback for a moment, and frowned, "You kid, you can't tell a lie. If you take this thing home, who will believe it?"

"Exactly!" Yang Xue came over with a plate of steamed buns, the couple was ready to eat.

Potato stick soup with Lianghe noodles steamed buns, plus a pile of pickled cucumbers, this is the normal meal for people in the forest area.

Li Ruhai put on the leather shoe, stomped his feet lightly a couple of times, feeling very comfortable, and picked up the remaining leather shoe.

Before bowing his head to take off and put on his shoes, Li Ruhai first said to Wang Fu and Yang Xue: "Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, I will put these two things at your home first."

"What?" Wang Fu just put a bowl of potato stick soup in front of Yang Xue. He didn't even bother to serve the second bowl of soup after hearing Li Ruhai's words, so he hurriedly asked Li Ruhai, "Why did you let my house go?"

Li Ruhai said: "I usually don't wear it. When there are inspections and events in our venue, I will wear it out again. I will tell my father and mother that I borrowed it. When I come back, I will take it off and put it here."

Speaking of this, Li Ruhai gave Wang Fu and Yang Xue a grin.Just as Wang Fu was about to speak, he saw a big man coming in from the door.

This big man is none other than Li Dayong!

Following Li Dayong is Zhao Youcai.

Wang Fu and Yang Xue were stunned for a moment, and Wang Fu, who was the first to react, quickly withdrew his hand that was preparing to serve the soup, stood up in front of him, put his palm on the counter, and shook Li Ruhai twice.

Unfortunately, at this moment Li Ruhai lowered his little head wearing a marmot hat.

There is no children's hat for this marmot hat. As for the adult hat, Li Ruhai's must be big.

As soon as he lowered his head, the hat slipped down, blocking his eyes.

Li Dayong, who entered the room, was taken aback for a moment, only thought that the child's figure and back were very familiar, at first glance he looked like his youngest son Li Ruhai.

But looking at the hat on the child's head and the leather shoes on his hands again, Li Dayong couldn't help thinking to himself, how could this be his son?How could I have such a wealthy son?

But before the voice in Li Dayong's heart fell, the child spoke first.

Li Ruhai took off the cloth shoes on his feet, put the leather shoes on his feet, and when he lifted the heels, he looked up at Wang Fu and Yang Xue and said with a smile: "I want to take it back and let my dad watch it. Dad has red eyes. He is still a leader, why don't he wear a dog fur hat?"

As soon as Li Ruhai opened his mouth, Li Dayong, who was behind him, froze. He looked straight at the child's back.

This is really his son!He really has such a son!
Li Ruhai usually hangs out in this small store, and gets along very well with Wang Fu and Yang Xue, so he doesn't hide anything in his heart, and continues to laugh: "My mother can't let her know, her Holding on to the money every day, you know I spent so much money on this, and I can’t even buy a house?”

At the end, Li Ruhai laughed twice.

Suddenly, Li Ruhai sensed something was wrong with Wang Fu and Yang Xue.It stands to reason that there should be laughter here, but the two couples have serious faces and frowns.

The key is that Yang Xue kept squinting at herself.

Li Ruhai was stunned, his eyes fell, and he saw Wang Fuli's hands on the counter kept waving.And Yang Xue held the chopsticks in one hand, and stretched out the index finger of the other hand from the side of the bowl, constantly hitting behind her.

Li Ruhai's heart skipped a beat, how could he not know what happened.Suddenly, Li Ruhai's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and the corner of his mouth grinned, making a sound.

"Haha! Haha!" Li Ruhai laughed dryly, and said to Wang Fu and Yang Xue, "Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, I was just joking with you."

As he spoke, Li Ruhai raised his hands, lifted the marmot hat on his head, and placed it on the counter next to him.

Then, Li Ruhai put one hand on the marmot hat, and said very seriously: "I bought this for my dad. My dad works hard every day. As a son, I sometimes feel distressed when I look at it."

After finishing speaking, Li Ruhai folded his left leg at the knee, stretched out his hand to take off the leather shoe on his foot, then stepped on his original cloth shoe with his bare foot, looked at the leather shoe in his hand, and took off the other one.

As he took off his shoes, he said, "I bought these shoes for my mother. It was not easy for my mother to give birth to me and raise me. I have to let my mother enjoy herself as soon as possible."

"Hehe." Yang Xue chuckled, looked up at Zhao Youcai and Li Dayong behind Li Ruhai and said, "Second brother, Li brother, are you off work?"

As soon as Yang Xue's words came out, Li Ruhai's heart felt cold, and he thought to himself, "It's really like that!"

"Siblings!" Zhao Youcai responded with a smile, "Weigh (yāo) two taels of white sugar for me."

"Hey!" Wang Fu put down his chopsticks first, and said to Zhao Youcai, "Second Brother, I'll call you right now."

Li Ruhai knew that there was no escape today, so he immediately turned around and widened his eyes, pretending to be surprised: "Oh, dad, uncle, are you off work?"

Zhao Youcai smiled at Li Ruhai, as bright as his smile could be, and as kind as it could be.

But Li Dayong was neither trouble nor angry, nor sad nor happy, he just looked at Li Ruhai expressionlessly.

For a moment, Li Ruhai felt that his legs were trembling. He turned around quickly and took the marmot hat, came in front of Li Dayong, handed the hat, and said, "Dad, I'll buy you a hat, try it on."

After finishing speaking, Li Ruhai didn't wait for Li Dayong to react, he stood on tiptoe and put the hat on Li Dayong's head.But in a hurry, the hat was still crooked.

Seeing this scene, Yang Xue and Wang Fu hurriedly lowered their heads, trying not to laugh.

"Oh!" At this moment, Zhao Youcai stretched out his hand to straighten the hat on Li Dayong's head, and exclaimed, "Ruhai is a real kid, he has been filial since he was a child."

Li Ruhai grinned, trying to smile perfunctorily, but he couldn't come out.

"Second brother." Wang Fu raised his hand, handed the butter paper bag containing white sugar to Zhao Youcai, and said, "Two taels of white sugar."

Zhao Youcai took the sugar and said, "Record the account first, and I will give it to you together someday."

"Second brother, what are you talking about?" Wang Fu said with a smile, "It's just this stuff, you can eat it at home."

"That can't be done." Zhao Youcai tilted his head and said, "It's not the same thing."

Suddenly, Zhao Youcai paused, pointed at Li Ruhai, raised his head and asked Wang Fu, "Our kid bought a hat or something, and you haven't even paid for it?"

As soon as Zhao Youcai said this, Li Dayong's eyes widened instantly.He suddenly thought of a question, that is, where did Li Ruhai get the money to buy shoes and hats?

You know, Jin Xiaomei only leaves a few cents for Li Ruhai a month, how long will it take him to save enough money for shoes and hats?

That is to say, Li Ruhai may have other money to come.But what can a 14-year-old do?
So, after Li Dayong thought about it, there was only one possibility, that is, Li Ruhai secretly took money from home while Jin Xiaomei was not at home!

Therefore, when Li Dayong looked at Li Ruhai again, his eyes were ruthless, as if Zhao Jun and Zhao Youcai aimed their guns at their prey.

But Li Ruhai, he turned his head to look at Wang Fu.It was Wang Fu who hinted to him before, but now Li Ruhai is hinting to Wang Fu.

But at this time, Wang Fu, just like Li Ruhai just now, they didn't see the hint to the other party.

Wang Fu pulled out two tickets from a pile of tickets, put them on the counter, pushed them out, and said, "The leather shoes are five yuan, and the hat is six and a half yuan. The total is 11 yuan. Ruhai, you give me twenty... "

Speaking of this, Wang Fu, who was about to make some calculations, saw Li Ruhai's expression.

But as soon as Wang Fu stopped talking, Zhao Youcai continued to ask Wang Fu, "Ruhai gave you twenty dollars?"

"Not many." Under Li Ruhai's attentive gaze, Wang Fu smiled wryly and said, "Only twenty."

As soon as Wang Fu finished speaking, Zhao Youcai said with a smile, "That's eight yuan and five dollars left."

"Yeah." Wang Fu turned around quickly when he heard the words, counted out eight yuan and fifty cents from the money box, and wanted to pass it to Li Ruhai, but Li Ruhai bowed his head and said nothing.

Wang Fu had no choice but to raise the money to Li Dayong and said, "Brother Li."

Li Dayong stepped forward to take the money, took out the fifty-cent note and put it in front of Wang Fu, saying, "Give me the sugar for my brother."

When Zhao Youcai heard the words, he just stood there and smiled without saying a word.Knowing that it was useless to look at Li Ruhai again, Wang Fu immediately gave Li Dayong back [-] cents.

Li Dayong put the money in his pocket, picked up the leather shoes that Li Ruhai had left aside, and said to Wang Fu, "Brother, this kid has caused you trouble."

"Oh, Brother Li, you are too polite." Wang Fu smiled and said, "What is this?"

"Then you guys eat." Zhao Youcai said something to Wang Fu, then gestured outside, and said, "Let's go."

"Second Brother, Brother Li, please slow down." Wang Fu returned to the counter, waved at Zhao Youcai and said, "Come back later."

Zhao Youcai nodded with a smile, turned around and walked out. When Li Dayong passed by Li Ruhai, he paused and whispered in Li Ruhai's ear, "Go! Go home."

When he said the word "go home", Li Dayong obviously gritted his teeth.Li Ruhai had no choice but to follow Li Dayong silently.

At this time, Li Baoyu and Lin Xiangshun were waiting outside the small shop. Li Baoyu, who was carrying Zhao Youcai's lunch box, frowned and said to Lin Xiangshun: "They bought white sugar, why did it take so long?"

Lin Xiangshun smiled and said, "Maybe I'm chatting with someone."

"What are you talking about?" Li Baoyu curled his lips and said, "It's not like our family is like the sea."

As soon as Li Baoyu finished speaking, he saw Li Dayong coming out of the small shop, followed by Zhao Youcai.

Li Baoyu was startled, he felt that something was wrong with Li Dayong, and suddenly he smiled.

Li Baoyu stepped forward, smiled and was about to ask Li Dayong when he told Wang Fu to help him buy the marmot hat.

But before Li Baoyu could speak, he saw a small man following Li Dayong.

"Ruhai..." Li Baoyu frowned and said, "What time is it, hurry home..."

Li Baoyu hadn't finished speaking when he saw that Li Ruhai seemed to be tripped by something, he leaned forward, and walked forward four or five steps in a chaotic pace.

"Ouch!" Li Ruhai exclaimed, but there was no panic on his face, but a hint of joy instead.

Just when Li Ruhai rushed to Li Dayong and was about to move forward, a big hand grabbed Li Ruhai's arm firmly.

"You child!" Zhao Youcai grabbed Li Ruhai's arm and said with a smile, "Walk slowly."

Li Ruhai pulled his arm subconsciously, but found that Zhao Youcai's hand was like a pair of pliers, holding him tightly.
