The whole mountain is my hunting ground.

Chapter 796 Barbecue with Shabu Meat

If Wang Meilan had said this half a month ago, Zhao Jun would have believed that she had this strength.

But in the past half a month, Zhao Jun was not at home when he went out. Although the family would not be unable to eat meat, if Zhao Jun wanted to come, that is, Zhao Youcai brought some back from the cafeteria.That little thing can satisfy the family's hunger, but it is by no means enough for the old lady to set up a banquet.

"Oh my god!" Zhao Jun took Wang Meilan's arm and asked her, "Here's a visitor, can't I get some food tonight? How about I go outside and have a look?"

"Army!" As soon as Zhao Jun said this, Wang Meilan didn't need to answer, Wang Qiang turned around and said to him with a smile: "Do you still need to worry about eating?"

After saying this, Wang Qiang raised his head slightly, pointing his chin at Wang Meilan, and said: "My sister summoned us to come, saying that we will eat boiled mutton at night."

"What?" Zhao Jun and Zhang Yuanmin were startled when they heard Wang Qiang's words, and Zhao Jun quickly asked Wang Meilan, "Mom, where did you feed the sheep?"

"Our family." Wang Meilan said: "Son, you are destined. You said you would come back today, hey! One of the sheep will die!"

This is true, if Zhao Jun didn't make that call, the big ewe should still be staying in the sheepfold at this time.Zhao Jun didn't tell Wang Meilan to toss, and the big ewe would not hit the eight-pound sledgehammer in anger.

But Zhao Jun felt something wrong when he heard Wang Meilan's words, so he hurriedly asked her, "Mom, which sheep died? Why did it die? If it died of illness, we can't eat it!"

"It didn't die of illness." Wang Meilan didn't explain how the sheep died, but said, "We picked all the meat, but didn't freeze it."

"Can it be frozen this day?" Wang Qiang asked next to him, "I killed that wild boar that day, picked the meat and put it outside overnight, but it didn't freeze at all."

At this time, the mountain field in Yong'an hadn't snowed yet, and the temperature was relatively not that low.During the day it is around zero degrees, and at night it hovers around minus ten degrees.

While talking, the four of them entered the house from the outside.

As soon as I opened the door and entered the outer room, I saw two tables in the room. There were pieces of mutton on one table, and various vegetables on the other table.

At this moment, the dog outside barked, and Mrs. Jiang entered the yard immediately after.

Let the old lady into the room, Wang Meilan took her to the east room, and after introducing her to Mrs. Xie Sun, Wang Meilan said to the old lady: "Auntie, you chat with this eldest sister, I will take them to Zhang Luocai. .”

After finishing speaking, Wang Meilan glanced at the wall, and said, "They'll be home in an hour. When they get home, we'll have dinner."

"Okay, girl." The old lady said with a smile: "Go ahead."

Wang Meilan responded, and then said to Mrs. Xie Sun, "Sister, sit down", and then took Jin Xiaomei to the outer room.

On two large basswood cutting boards, Zhao Ling and Yang Yufeng were cutting mutton with knives.If the mutton is not frozen, it cannot be pushed with a plane. It can only be cut by hand.

After Jin Xiaomei came over, she began to peel garlic and onions.Wang Meilan peeled carrots and potatoes with a knife.

For a while, the field outside the house was very busy.

Zhao Jun stepped into the west room. As soon as he came in, the minister stood up and looked at him apologetically.

Just as Xie Chen was about to speak, Zhao Jun waved his hand with a smile, and then Zhao Jun went to take the little lynx from Wang Qiang's arms.

This little guy has grown up very fast, but he is still a child, and he still looks very cute.

Zhao Jun put his face on its little head, then looked at Jie Chen who came over, and said, "Brother, we brothers don't need to say anything, it's fine."

Xie Chen pursed his lips and nodded, then sighed softly.He can't do anything about his old lady.On the way here, Xie Sun told Xie Chen that he would go home tomorrow morning.

Just as Xie Chen was about to refuse, his mother took out a butter paper package from her pocket.

Seeing this paper bag, Xie Chen was shocked, and the car jolted violently before shaking Zhang Yuanmin awake.

As his own son, Xie Chen knew that his mother could not seek death, otherwise she would not have hanged herself seven times.But he was afraid that Mrs. Xie Sun would cause trouble at Zhao Jun's house, and that would be troublesome.

Therefore, Jie Chen could only reluctantly agree to understand the Sun family.

"Brother Jun!" Jie Chen thought for a while, but still said to Zhao Jun, "I have to go back tomorrow morning."

"Ah?" Zhao Jun heard the words and said hurriedly: "Why are you going back in a hurry? Let's go in two days. My aunt finally came here. Let her stay here for a few days. After that, let's go up the mountain to the foot of the mountain and have a look. If there is a black blind, let's knock one of them. I will take it back for you, and the family will not be short of oil this winter."

Hearing what Zhao Jun said, Xie Chen felt even more sorry, but he couldn't tell Zhao Jun what Xie Sun did or said in the car, he could only say: "Brother Jun, my mother, stay at someone else's house." No, I'll send it back to her first, and then I'll come back when I'm done."

"Ah, that's fine." Zhao Jun didn't think too much about it. He heard the sound of "dangdang" cutting meat in the outer room, and suddenly remembered something, so he looked at Zhang Yuanmin and said, "Brother, let's roast the whole meat." Let's eat!"

"Roast mutton?" Zhang Yuanmin was taken aback, and then said, "We're not from the grasslands, we don't have those ingredients, so we can't make it well."

Zhang Yuanmin's legendary father once "traveled" in the Northeast.And the Northeast is not only the three provinces in the Northeast, but Mengdong is also considered the Northeast.

Big head Zhang had been to Mengdong back then, and wanted to ask for a job there.After all, there are a lot of sheep in that place, maybe his "talent" can be useful.

But he overlooked one thing. Although there are many sheep over there, there are also many wolves. If he offers a "smart plan" over there, he will easily be hammered to death.

In addition, when I went up, it was catching up with the strong wind.The wind over there is much stronger than that at home.The small, not tall, big head was blown all over the place by the wind, and after being forced to stay for a few days, he was not acclimatized.I had no choice but to take a car and go home.

After returning, Zhang Datou told his son all the experiences he had seen and heard outside, so that Zhang Yuanmin could increase his knowledge and broaden his horizons.

"It's not the roast lamb." Zhao Jun said, "It's kebabs!"

"Lamb kebabs?" Wang Qiang, Zhang Yuanmin, and Xie Chen were all taken aback when they heard the words.

Twenty or thirty years later, barbecues are everywhere in the Northeast, and there are all kinds of them.

But at this moment, how do mountain people know what kebabs are?
The besiegers like Zhao Jun hunted prey in the mountains, and sometimes pulled a few pieces of meat from the inside of their thighs and roasted them on the fire.But that kind of crude barbecue, in all fairness, is not delicious.

So when mentioning kebabs, Zhang Yuanmin and the others didn't take it seriously.

I don't know why, Zhao Jun is still greedy for this one today.Anyway, there was such a condition, so he said to Zhang Yuanmin, "Brother, just look at the wicker sticks."

"Ah!" Zhao Jun didn't make it clear, but Zhang Yuanmin also reacted and said, "For wearing meat?"

"Yes, yes!" Zhao Jun responded twice, and then walked out with the little lynx in his arms.

When he arrived at the table where Yang Yufeng and Zhao Ling were cutting meat, the little lynx grabbed Zhao Jun's arm with a pair of front paws, trying to struggle out.

Seeing this, Yang Yufeng smiled and said, "Is the little cat greedy for meat?"

"Can it eat meat?" Zhao Ling looked up at the little lynx and asked, "Have all the teeth grown?"

Zhao Jun held the little lynx with one arm, and opened its upper lip with the other hand. The little lynx used a pair of small claws to grab Zhao Jun's hand.

Zhao Jun saw that this little guy had already grown teeth!
Counting the days again, this little lynx has been home for almost a month, and according to their habits, it is about to be weaned.

At this time, Wang Meilan threw the freshly peeled potatoes into the pot and said, "I've been feeding it malted milk these days, but it doesn't like drinking it anymore. After brewing it in the morning, it has to wait until late at night to drink it." .”

As soon as Zhao Jun heard it, he knew it in his heart, knowing that the little guy was indeed going to be weaned.

Suddenly, the dog outside the house barked again. Zhao Jun turned his head and looked out the window. It was Lin Xiangshun's daughter-in-law Xu Chunyan who came with a small basket and her two children.

When Xu Chunyan's mother and son entered the door, everyone greeted each other, Xu Chunyan asked the child to play with Zhao Hong and the others, while she came to Wang Meilan's side and asked, "Second Aunt, what do you think I am doing?"

"Yan'er." Wang Meilan pointed into the basin and said, "You cut up the dried tofu and potatoes, and put them in the water after cutting."

If potatoes are peeled or cut and placed in the air, they will oxidize and turn black after a long time, which is unsightly, so Wang Meilan asked Xu Chunyan to soak the potatoes after cutting them in water.

After Wang Meilan finished speaking, she looked up at Zhao Jun and the others, and said, "Go into the house, you are not needed here."

"Mom!" Zhao Jun laughed and said, "I'm looking for a piece of meat, grilled some mutton skewers."

"Mutton skewers?" Wang Meilan, who was born in a wealthy family, had never eaten this before. Hearing what Zhao Jun said, she just said: "That thing is dry, can it be delicious?"

"I'll roast it with some oil." Zhao Jun had just finished replying to Wang Meilan when he saw Yang Yufeng pulling a piece of mutton chop.

Wang Meilan seldom gives food to the sheep, and has been hugging tree leaves and corn leaves to feed the sheep since autumn.So this sheep is not very fat, and the lamb chops are sandwiched with a thin layer of fat.

"Sister-in-law!" Zhao Jun hurriedly stopped Yang Yufeng, then pinched his little finger with his thumb, and said, "Cut this piece of meat into such big pieces for me."

"Okay!" Without saying a word, Yang Yufeng turned over the lamb chops in her hand, and then cut them with a knife.

"Okay!" Seeing this, Zhang Yuanmin smiled and said, "I'll cut (xuě) willow sticks!"

After speaking, Zhang Yuanmin walked out.

At this time, Wang Qiang asked from the side: "Eldest nephew, don't you have to fight?"

"You don't need to hold the fire, isn't there one in the stove?" Wang Meilan interjected, "The whole iron curtain, put it on the brazier to roast."

At this time, Wang Meilan was very proud. She felt that the brazier she had made yesterday was really worthwhile. It could cook pots and barbecue meat.

But Zhao Jun said: "Mom, we don't use a brazier."

"You don't use a brazier, what do you use to roast it?" Facing Wang Meilan's question, Zhao Jun said, "We'll go outside and roast it later, it won't work inside the house."

Then, Zhao Jun told Xiechen again: "In the corner between our warehouse and the east wall, there are bricks left over from the house I built. They are stacked in two rows and placed upright. After the completion, put the skewers on the top of the shelf and burn the corn crumbs at the bottom. "

Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan, these two women are born leaders.Wang Meilan leads a group of women at home, and the group of women will do what she tells them to do.

The same goes for Zhao Jun. After he assigned the tasks, Zhang Yuanmin and Xie Chen got to work.

In fact, this job is also simple, Jie Chen moved the bricks and put them on the open space.Each brick stands on the ground on its long side, ten bricks are connected in a row, and the distance between the two rows of bricks is about [-] centimeters.

Then, Jie Chen pulled out two more bags of corn husks, and prepared to light them as charcoal skewers.

It stands to reason that there is plenty of firewood in the forest area, and corn husks and corn stalks (gāi) are not burned.

But Zhao and Li's family planted glutinous corn behind the house, and in autumn they planted corn, potatoes, and eggplants.When the corn is old, the corn particles are peeled off, and the corn ballast and corn flour are ground.

Wang Meilan didn't throw away the remaining corn crumbs, but put them in sacks, saying that after a while, when the roe deer were about to give birth, she would spread them in the roe deer enclosure, and then spread grass on top.Because there is this layer of corn scorpion, which can block the cool air from the ground.

When Xie Chen was pouring out the corn husks, Wang Qiang brought out the hot charcoal with the spade head, put it into the two rows of bricks, and added corn husks one by one.

Dried corn husks catch fire when they see fire, and the thing emits blue smoke, and the smoke disappears after it is burned through quickly.

At this time, Zhang Yuanmin had already blocked two bundles of wicker sticks with a knife.The willow sticks he made were two circles thicker than the sticks used for skewers in the future, and sixty centimeters longer.

The wicker has no tip and can't skewer meat, but it's not difficult for Zhang Yuanmin. He tied the knife to a thick piece of wood, and then put the end of the willow on the blade. Cut off a piece at a slant, so that it comes out sharp.

Seeing that more than 100 wicker sticks were ready, Zhang Yuanmin took them into the house to ask Zhao Jun for credit.

At this time, Yang Yufeng had also cut the meat. Zhao Jun was holding the meat in a basin and a small bowl of bear oil in the other hand, and was walking head-to-head with Zhang Yuanmin.

The two of them came out of the house together and called Wang Qiang and Xie Chen to come over. The four surrounded the earthen stove built by Zhang Yuanmin to skewer mutton skewers.

"Army." Wang Qiang asked Zhao Jun, "Don't clean the salt all the time!"

"Salt clean?" Zhao Jun knew that when Wang Qiang said salt clean, he was actually salty all the time.But he didn't intend to feed the meat to the bottom mouth, he just said: "Then grab a handful of salt."

Speaking of this, Zhao Jun looked up at the string of red peppers hanging on the window of the warehouse, and said, "It would be better to grind some pepper noodles and sprinkle them on."

"Oh..." Wang Qiang said after hearing the words: "There is a stone mill in Lao Bai's house in the west courtyard of my house, I will use his house to grind it for you!"

"Others!" Zhao Jun hurriedly stopped him: "Old uncle, we don't need him. I despise Bai Xiuyun the most."

"Yes!" Zhang Yuanmin echoed, "This village belongs to him and is the most valuable thing!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Yuanmin shook his head and said, "Old Li's house next to my house also has stone rollers, CTM, and their brothers are even more serious!"

"Hey!" Hearing what Zhang Yuanmin said, Zhao Jun couldn't help shaking his head when he thought of Minister Li and Erchen Li.

At this moment, Yang Yufeng came out with two small plates, and she said to Zhao Jun, "Brother, my aunt asked you to bring some salt and miso, what else do you want?"

"Brother said he wanted to grind some chili noodles." Zhang Yuanmin said, "Does Lao Wei have a stone grinder?"

"What old Wei's family! Our family has it." Yang Yufeng put down the small plate and said to Zhao Jun: "Brother, wait, sister-in-law will go home and grind it for you!"

"What?" Zhang Yuanmin was taken aback, and couldn't believe his ears, so he asked again, "Where do you think you're going to be crushed?"

"Go home and grind." At this moment, Yang Yufeng remembered that Zhang Yuanmin didn't know that his family had bought a house, and quickly said, "Our family has bought a house."

Zhang Yuanmin: "..."
