My portable world of mixed farmers

Chapter 432 The Uninvited Guest

When it comes to Yellowstone National Park, it and its vicinity are home to some of the best megafauna wildlife habitat in the contiguous 48 states.

There are about 70 mammal species in Yellowstone Park, including gray wolf, lynx and grizzly bear, as well as other large mammals including bison, black bear, elk, moose, mule deer, white-tailed deer, goats, pronghorn Antelope, bighorn sheep and mountain lions.

The bison herd in Yellowstone Park is the largest public American bison herd in the United States. The bison herd in Yellowstone Park is considered to be one of the only four free-moving and genetically purebred herds in North America. Saw bison three times in one week.

In Yellowstone National Park, in an effort to protect the elk population 100 years ago, the U.S. Congress appropriated funds for the purpose of "eliminating wolves, prairie dogs, and other animals that are harmful to agriculture and animal husbandry" on public lands, park management Bureau hunters carried out these orders, and North American wolves have virtually disappeared from Yellowstone.

It wasn't until the 90s that the federal government radically changed its view of wolves, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service made a controversial decision to reintroduce Canadian Timberwolves imported from Canada to Yellowstone.

A survey conducted by the US Fish and Wildlife Service in 2005 reported that there were 13 wolf packs in Yellowstone Park, with a total of 118 wolves, and a total of 326 in the entire Yellowstone area.

There are about 600 grizzly bears in the Yellowstone area. More than half of the population lives in Yellowstone Park. The Yellowstone region was removed from the endangered species list.

Elk is the largest large mammal in Yellowstone Park, with more than 3 of them.

85% of the total area of ​​Yellowstone Park is covered with forests. Most of the trees are American black pine, which is a kind of tree with strong vitality. The biggest disaster of the plants growing in Yellowstone Park is the forest fire.The diameter of each tree of American black pine is about 40 meters, the height of the tree is 200 meters, and the average age of the tree is [-] years.

Gentian pine is another widely distributed tree species. This kind of tree has strong adaptability and fast growth rate. It can grow in a variety of climate and soil conditions, even in the most frequent wildfires. On dangerous hillsides, they are also varied and lush.

Two trees, the American spruce and the subalpine silver fir, are widespread in the western United States, climbing every mountain.However, these two kinds of trees have a common weakness, they are both very afraid of wildfires.

There are more than 1700 species of trees and other vascular plants in the park, and about 170 species are considered to be alien species, of which 8 species of coniferous plants have been recorded. 80% of all forest areas are black pine forests. Other coniferous forests such as Alpine fir, Engelmann spruce, Rocky Mountain Douglas fir, and whitebark pine are all found in scattered groves throughout the park.

The two antelopes that Dong Shanhe was carrying were the pronghorn that grew in Yellowstone National Park. This kind of animal is very abundant in the park, so Dong Shanhe easily hunted and killed two of them near the outermost periphery of the park.

The pronghorn has a branch extending forward in the horn sheath in the middle of the horn, so it is called the pronghorn.Medium-sized, with a body length of [-] meters, a tail length of about [-] centimeters, a shoulder height of about [-] meter, and an adult body weight of [-] to [-] kilograms. The female body is smaller than the male body. Dong Shanhe easily carried both ends from the mountain. walked out.

The back of the pronghorn is reddish brown, the neck has black mane, the abdomen and buttocks are white, and there are black patches on the cheeks and sides of the neck; Due to the function of some skin muscles, the hair can be at different angles to facilitate warmth or heat dissipation.

"Hi melon eaters, I think it's getting late, you should go to sleep, it will take some time for me to finish the barbecue work, and you won't be able to eat it after I finish it, saving midnight I lured you gluttons out." Dong Shanhe threw the pronghorn to the ground and said to the camera.

Hearing Dong Shanhe's words, the barrage in the video said, "Not sleepy or sleepy." "Not hungry or hungry." "I have snacks." "I just want to see the author's great craftsmanship." And so on.

Seeing this situation, Dong Shanhe was too embarrassed to let these people leave, so he had to let them do what they wanted.

The two pronghorn Dong Shanhe couldn't finish eating, but he couldn't put the pronghorn into the space under the eyes of everyone, so Dong Shanhe had to say hello to everyone and throw the pronghorn into the raptor car inside.

"I can't finish two, so I want to bring one back to my daughter-in-law to taste, and one is very boring, so I plan to go again, this time we will hunt and kill whatever we encounter." Dong Shanhe said into the phone.

It's not so much a discussion, it's better to say that Dong Shanhe informed them that the melon eaters who watched the video were also very excited, and they also wanted to see what Dong Shanhe could hunt this time.

Summer is very hot, the green vegetation in the forest is overgrown, and there are many kinds of animals, especially now it is more than five o'clock in the afternoon and almost six o'clock in the afternoon, and it is also the time for many animals to drink water, so Dong Shanhe quickly hunted and killed four more animals. A snow rabbit, in fact, Dong Shanhe also saw a white-tailed deer, but Dong Shanhe felt that even if he hunted and killed it, he would not be able to eat it all. If you think about it, let it go. Instead of exposing your ferocity in front of these people, it is better to build yourself image of.

Forget about rabbits, after all, there are too many such things as wild rabbits, so no one said that Dong Shanhe hunted and killed four of them.

The body of the snow rabbit is slightly larger than that of the grass rabbit.The body is about half a meter long, the tail is five or six centimeters long, and the weight is four or five kilograms. The big ones can grow to about seven kilograms.The ears are shorter than those of domestic rabbits. This is because in cold regions not only do not need big ears full of capillaries to dissipate heat, but also the ears should be tightly attached to the back to preserve heat.Its eyes are very large and placed on both sides of the head, providing it with a wide range of vision. It can look forward, back, side and up at the same time.But the only shortcoming is that the distance between the eyes is too large. You have to move your face left and right to see objects clearly. When running fast, you often have no time to turn your face, so you often hit walls and trees. The fable of "waiting for a rabbit" is probably based on this .Its tail is short, broad and slightly rounded.

Coat color is very different in winter and summer.The winter hair is long and dense, with the longest hair on the side and abdomen. The whole body is snow white, thick and soft. The hair on the side of the body is as long as 5 cm. Only the tips of the ears and the rims of the eyes are dark brown. .Compared with the body hair, the summer hair is light chestnut brown and mixed with black tipped needle hairs. There are a large number of dark brown short hairs on the top of the head and the back of the ears. The tips of the ears are dark brown. The abdomen and the inner sides of the limbs are pure white, the bristles on the soles of the forelimbs are light chestnut, and there are brown markings on the back of the tail.

So winter snow rabbit fluff is a very good textile material, but Dong Shanhe is not interested in it, after all, there are only four of them, and the rabbit fur does not intend to keep, after all, it is summer fluff, not as good as winter excellent.

After doing all this, Dong Shanhe started the work of breaking the intestines and breaking the belly. Dong Shanhe, who had studied with Uncle Zhang for a period of time, coupled with continuous practice in the space, is very proficient in breaking the intestines and breaking the skin. Gao, one pronghorn and four snow rabbits, Dong Shanhe, did it all without even 10 minutes.

After finishing all this, Dong Shanhe put the five peeled ingredients into the lake and washed them with water.

After cleaning, put it in a large plastic basin, pour in various seasonings to marinate, and wait for the taste.

After finishing the work, Dong Shanhe started to light the bonfire, after all, charcoal fire is needed for barbecue.

The wood for the barbecue is the branches of North American black pine, and the resin is oily, so it is quickly ignited.

A raging bonfire was lit by the water, and reflected in the water, the red flames shot up into the sky, causing all kinds of animals on the opposite side of the lake to panic, and they dared not come to the lake to drink water.

Then Dong Shanhe heard the calls of various animals in the forest opposite the lake one after another, but what does this have to do with Dong Shanhe.

After Dong Shanhe saw that the bonfire was about the same, he began to move the huge barbecue grill. The stainless steel barbecue grill was brought by Dong Shanhe from China. No one can find out.

After installing the grill, Dong Shanhe skewered the pronghorn, and Dong Shanhe put the pronghorn on the grill easily. After being pickled, the pronghorn became oily immediately after being smoked by the fire. Sizzling.

Then Dong Shanhe put the four snow rabbits on the fixed frame on the ground with a small barbecue fork.

The grilling process is boring and interesting, and everyone in the video watching Dong Shanhe grilling is also very interested. After all, this is the first time I have seen a video of grilling a whole antelope.

Roast whole antelope, this level is much higher than the roast whole sheep I saw outside the fake yurt.

Most of the goats that roast the whole sheep are raised artificially, which is comparable to the wild animals in the mountains and forests.

Even if you guess with your toes, you can know that the taste of captive goat meat is not as good as that of wild pronghorn.

Dong Shanhe looked down at the time, "It's really getting late, are you really not going to bed?" Dong Shanhe asked the onlookers in the video.

Then the bullet screen full of videos flashed to "Not sleepy or sleepy." "Not hungry or hungry." "I have instant noodles and ham sausage."

Constantly oiling and basting the pronghorn and the four snow rabbits was a very uncomfortable act, because it was very hot by the fire and it was still summer.

Even if Dong Shanhe's body has been catalyzed, he is not a superman after all, and he still cannot completely feel the cold and heat.

Even Dong Shanhe felt a little bit of heat, let alone those foodies watching the live broadcast behind their mobile phones.

"Okay, it should be almost ready. Let me taste for you first." After nearly an hour, Dong Shanhe observed that the pronghorn was almost ready. As for the four snow rabbits, they were already cooked, but they were not cooked Just eat.

"The author, is it delicious? If it is delicious, can you send me a copy?" "I want to eat it too. Poisoning in the middle of the night is really killing people." "Didn't you just say that there are instant noodles, why are you so cowardly now?" ?”

It's easy to say that he took a dagger to cut off a piece of meat, and holding the thin piece of meat, Dong Shanhe stuffed it directly into his mouth.

"Smell, it's really fragrant, it's so delicious!" Dong Shanhe spat out four or five interjections in succession.

"It's the first time I've eaten such a delicious barbecue. It's delicious if you do it yourself." Dong Shanhe continued to cut the meat with his dagger while talking.

Filling a plate full, Dong Shanhe sat on a chair by the campfire and began to taste the fruits of his labor.

"Oh, by the way, I still have one thing to do, and I have to do it now." Dong Shanhe suddenly remembered that he still had one thing to do, so he put the plate on the table, stood up and walked towards the campfire.

"In the United States, there are a lot of forest fires, and every time I encounter a forest fire, I will suffer a lot of losses, so I must strangle the source of this disaster. If there is a fire, it is my cause. , I estimate that I will spend 100 years in prison." Dong Shanhe is not alarmist, there is indeed such a precedent in the United States.

However, since there are no lights in the wild, if the bonfire is completely extinguished, it will become pitch black, so Dong Shanhe just used a bucket of water to pour a circle around the bonfire. reduced a lot.

After finishing all this, Dong Shanhe returned to the table and began to eat, and the four snow rabbits were also quietly placed on the stainless steel plate by Dong Shanhe.

"A family should be neat and tidy." Dong Shanhe even took a close-up shot of the four snow rabbits.

Immediately, all kinds of ridicules were attracted by the barrage, "People eat meat so interestingly, I can only play games."

Dong Shanhe still eats a lot, especially after working for such a period of time in the afternoon, this kind of workload has already exceeded Dong Shanhe's usual.

Watching Dong Shanhe eating meat plate after plate, the thousands of foodies left were dumbfounded.

"666, the author is so stupid that he ate up three plates of barbecue by himself. Could it be that he hasn't eaten for three days?"

"I think so too. The author is definitely a well-known idiot, otherwise it would be impossible to eat so much?"

Dong Shanhe piled up every plate of barbecue meat. A fifty-kilogram pronghorn would have at least 20 catties after it was gutted. After the test, it would be twenty catties , Dong Shanhe ate nearly half of it in half an hour. This is ten catties of barbecue.

I used to think that the pig's feet in the novel would be ten catties of sauced beef when they went to the restaurant, but now I finally see that they are alive.

While Dong Shanhe was drinking his drink, a beast roar suddenly came from across the lake. The huge beast roar resounded through the entire lake, and everyone in the phone could hear it clearly.

"I wipe, there is a situation!"
