Chapter 320

Li Junge smiled and said: "This is what we call cooperation. The mountain donkey's skin is hard, and it is difficult for a red-haired dog to pick it up. If this mountain donkey is thrown here, it will be a waste."

Uncle Orion also laughed and said: "We untied the skin and took away, and only a small part of the meat. The rest is enough for the group of jackals to eat for another two days. This can be called cooperation!"

Uncle Yaoshi also shook the basket: "There is also a small thirty catties in it! It's enough for us to beat our teeth for a few days!"

Wei Wei sighed in admiration: "The rules of your runners are really good!"

The two professors also nodded in praise, and everyone continued to set off.

Li Junge asked Weiwei as he walked, "Weiwei, do you want to eat dumplings?"

Wei Wei smiled until she couldn't see her eyes: "Oh, you can still eat dumplings in the middle of the mountain?!"

Li Junge said with a smile: "There are a lot of shepherd's purse and wild onions. Now that we have back willow tender meat, eating dumplings is still a problem? But this is up to you. If we make it, then we can only eat shepherd's purse meatballs."

Wei Wei waved his hand: "Then I'll do it! I'm also good at this! But I haven't eaten dumplings for some time."

Camping early today, Li Junge dug out the flour and handed it to Wei Wei and the noodles, then went to the bushes to pick a piece of green wood firewood, scraped it into a stick for Wei Wei, wrapped it with sand in a towel, polished it smooth, washed it, and washed the bottom of the pot Turn it over and give it to Weiwei, it's a rolling pin and a chopping board.

Then he went to the stream and washed the shepherd's purse, wild onions, and mountain donkey meat that Uncle Yaoshi picked along the road and brought them back.

Soak the mountain donkey meat in water first, squeeze out the blood, then cut the back willow meat into minced meat, add some fat bacon and chopped shepherd's purse and wild onions and mix together.

Then cut some Yehansu ginger root into it, poured sesame oil on it, added some salt, and the stuffing was ready.

Take a few leaves of galangal, sprinkle flour on it for Weiwei to use as a dumpling plate, and prepare to start roasting the mountain donkey meat.

I took a portion of the leg meat and cut it into small pieces, added it to boiling water to remove the blood foam, and then took it out.

Put oil in the pot, stir-fry the watercress, add a small bag of roasted pork spices, add soy sauce after frying, add water after frying for a few times.

Then add Yehanshu, wild onions, and peppercorns, pour the meat and cooking wine, cover the lid and simmer.

Over there, Weiwei started making dumplings.

Li Junge started to process the remaining mountain donkey meat again. If he didn't process it, even if the weather wasn't too hot now, it would take less than two days.

A pile of firewood is raised, and the open flame is extinguished after burning, leaving charcoal still glowing red in the pond.

Since he was carrying bacon on his back, Li Junge didn't want to make bacon anymore, so he directly changed the leg meat into long and thin strips, made a rack and hung it over the firepit to bake.

Then I took some ginger leaves and covered the shelf to keep warm, forming a large oven.

After everything was done, Li Junge joined the crowd and made dumplings together.

After a while, Uncle Yaoshi brought out several big spring bamboo shoots from the bamboo forest.

There are many spring bamboo shoots in the mountains, so there is no need to pick and search. Li Junge peeled off the bamboo shoots, and discarded the older bottoms. Only the freshest parts on the top were used.

After cooking for a few minutes, take out the spring bamboo shoots and add them all to the braised mountain donkey meat.

Then shred some of the older spring bamboo shoots, remove the astringency in boiling water, mix with red oil, sesame oil and salt, and make a cold spring bamboo shoots.

Then boiled a large pot of water and started making dumplings.

There are many dumplings, but only one person can see them, and the rest are large and small.

Li Junge watched and shook his head: "I am convinced of the skill of our Shuzhou people in making dumplings. After one pot is poured, we have to pick it up several times, otherwise some will be broken, and some will not be cooked..."

Uncle Yaoshi and Uncle Orion began to joke around again, and Uncle Yaoshi said, "He has a big heart and a thin skin, so he must come from Li Junge."

Uncle Orion smiled and said: "You still have the nerve to laugh at others, you made it - thick skin, small heart, like a Lai Gebao, a dumpling weighs two or two, throw it on the top of the pot to spit grass..."

Li Junge said with a smile: "Don't talk about the elder brother, the pharmacist Orion is similar. If you eat it, you know it's a dumpling. If you don't eat it, you think it's a dumpling..."

It made the research trio laugh out loud.

Everyone, big and small, shared a big bowl, Li Junge specially made some vinegar for Wei Wei, Wei Wei picked up one and dipped it in her mouth, her eyes narrowed: "Oh, the hot dumplings are so delicious! "

Uncle Pharmacist also ate one: "On March [-]rd, shepherd's purse is better than golden pills. It's really not bragging! Compared with shepherd's purse balls, it has a different taste! Weiwei's craftsmanship!"

At this time, the roasted mountain donkey meat with spring bamboo shoots was ready. Li Junge brought the pot over, and shook out a lid of red oil mixed with dried and roasted small fish, and mixed with cold bamboo shoots, which attracted everyone's chopsticks to fall one after another.

Uncle Orion took out the wine and sighed: "When you bring Piwa into the mountains, you can never bring enough wine. If you don't drink some, I'm really sorry for these dishes!"

Professor Li laughed loudly: "That's right, one cup a day is not satisfying, and a whole table is wasted, ah no, delicious food from all over the place!"

Professor Ding picked up a piece of spring bamboo shoots and said: "Last time I watched a food show, and said that the fresher the bamboo shoots, the better. Today's meal is the freshest I've ever eaten. This mountain donkey meat really looks like beef! Obviously Knowing that it is a national second-class protected animal, why can't you control your chopsticks and your mouth?"

Uncle Orion shook his head and said: "Three or 40 years ahead, there should not be too many big hooves in the Shu Mountains. The largest mountain cattle can grow to weigh a thousand catties. Every spring, dozens of them go down the mountain to graze together, and go up the mountain again in summer. Now, I haven't seen a herd of cows for many years, and occasionally one or two solitary cows can be seen..."

Wei Wei was very interested and asked, "What is a mountain ox? Is it a wild yak?"

Li Junge said: "It's a takin, which is different from a yak. ​​It has a goatee under its chin."

Uncle Orion said: "If you are interested, I can take you to have a look. This thing likes to lick salt. There is a place not far from the road tomorrow, huh? By the way, don't we have an infrared camera? We can use it there Install one at both ends of the saline-alkali land!"

Weiwei said: "You still have this here? This is another national first-class protected animal!"

Uncle Orion shook his head and said, "I don't know if they still exist. I haven't seen them for several years. I have never told outsiders about the salt flats in the mountains, just because I was afraid that someone would come and harm them."

Wei Wei said: "Alright then, let's install the cameras tomorrow! If we can capture them, it will be another major discovery!"

There is no need to watch the night tonight. According to Uncle Orion, there will only be a group of red-haired dogs within a radius of ten or twenty miles, and generally there will be no other ferocious beasts in the place where they are.I met that group in the morning. I have had enough to eat the mountain donkeys for the past two days. I won’t come to harass them again. I can rest assured that I can sleep well tonight.

Li Junge baked the remaining dumplings into potstickers before everyone went to bed in the tent.

As soon as it was dawn, I heard a loud "bang" outside, followed by a few screams, then the sound of small animals running, and then the sound of the shelf collapsing, creating a mess.

Li Junge woke up suddenly, and got out with a gun in hand.

I saw a few figures had already run to the edge of the forest, and climbed up the tree after a few strokes.

Wei Wei and the others were also awakened, and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Uncle Orion slapped his forehead: "Monkeys! How could I forget them!"

But he saw some monkeys on the tree rushing to this side and chirping a few times like a demonstration, and then they swung the trees and climbed the vines.

Li Junge suddenly realized: "Oh my potsticker dumplings!"

Looking over, the dumplings were still in the pot, but the potatoes and sweet potatoes that Uncle Yaoshi had roasted by the firepit were gone, and the barbecue grill also fell down.

Nothing else has been lost.

Li Junge laughed loudly and said: "This group of stupid monkeys are not good at being thieves."

Uncle Orion smiled and said, "No? When the corn and pumpkins are ripe, you can see if they will! People in the mountains can be stolen by them and cry!"

Anyway, they were all awake, so they didn't sleep at all, and got up to pack their things.

Li Junge first collected the jerky roasted last night and tied it into a bundle, and then began to prepare for breakfast.

As soon as he turned over the pot that was overturned by the monkey, Li Junge was shocked: "Oh my god! Why is there still a buckle here!"

Under a big pot, there was actually a little monkey.

The little monkey looked at Li Junge pitifully. As soon as Li Junge stopped, he immediately ran over and held on to Li Junge's trouser legs.

A group of people rushed over to marvel, and Wei Wei was the most curious: "Oh, what's going on? Why is there a little monkey?"

Uncle Orion said: "Well, the monkeys in the mountains are in heat in Dongyue and give birth in spring. It's about the same. This one must have fallen from the female monkey. It looks like it was born not long ago!"

Li Junge looked at the forest in the distance, and the monkeys had long since disappeared.

Uncle Orion shook his head: "This little monkey won't survive."

Wei Wei asked anxiously: "Why can't you survive?"

Li Junge rolled his eyes: "No milk! How can I live? This little monkey hasn't been weaned yet!"

Seeing the wrinkled little monkey timidly clutching Li Junge's trouser leg, Wei Wei was about to cry.

Li Junge quickly picked up the little monkey from his trouser legs, wrapped it in a dry towel, and said, "Do your best, obey the destiny, if you leave it here, you can only take advantage of the red-haired dogs. I will cook some with Wujin rice later Rice soup, see if it can be eaten."

Uncle Yaoshi nodded and said: "That's the only way to go. When the baby is short of milk, feeding rice soup can also raise it. Let's try it first."

Li Junge handed the little monkey to Weiwei to take care of, and started to make breakfast.

The breakfast is simple, that is, a pot of porridge cooked with rice and Ujin rice, hot pot stickers and dumplings, and only the small fish and bamboo shoots are dealt with.

Li Junge didn't rush to eat first, he found a thin bamboo tube first, took the middle section, flattened one end, and made the other end into a small round head, polished it smooth, scooped a bowl of rice soup, and made some space when no one was paying attention Enter the Lingquan water, and when the temperature is right, take the little monkey from Weiwei.

Insert one side of the round end of the bamboo tube into the rice soup until it reaches the end, and then use the index finger to block the hole on the top and lift it up, leaving a section of rice soup inside the bamboo tube.

Put the bamboo tube into the little monkey's mouth, loosen the index finger and then block it, loosen it again and then block it again, the rice soup will flow into the little monkey's mouth bit by bit.

The little monkey tasted the rice soup and began to suck it greedily.
