Build a farm from the mountains

Chapter 94

Song "Tu Jing Materia Medica" and "Compendium" are listed in the beasts of the Ministry of Animals.Use meat as medicine.

Therefore, badger meat is no worse than otter meat, and much more valuable than bear meat.

As the saying goes: Seven catties of badger seeds and eight catties of oil mean that seven catties of badger seeds can be refined into one catty of oil.

At this time, the badger has just hibernated and has a lot of fat. The refined badger oil can be sold at a good price, so the price of meat will rise a little bit.

Badger Oil Indications: Insufficient Qi, uterine prolapse, hemoptysis, hemorrhoids, malnutrition, scabies, alopecia areata, burns, frostbite.

The wolverine is waste material, the meat is not as good as the dog badger, and the oil is useless. Today, except for the lynx, the skins of the other three animals are only worth a few years.

Wu Hao drove into the courtyard in the dark, and Gao Lijuan opened the door to look at it under the light. Her son was fine, and there was no big prey on the plow.

Her eyes were much more friendly, she lifted the quilt and was stunned, her pupils gradually dilated and exclaimed: "Why did you hit it!"

"What's the matter?" There were hurried footsteps in the room, Wu Weiguo was in a bad mood today when he was driving the donkey and pulling the mill, so he went out with a fire stick and beat him: "You little bastard made your mother angry again!"

"Get lost!" Gao Lijuan pushed him and pointed at the plow: "Look what happened!"

"Huh? Why aren't you angry?" Wu Weiguo knew he couldn't beat his son, so he glanced at him absent-mindedly: "Damn it!"

Wu Hao didn't dare to speak for fear of being beaten.

Wu Weiguo stroked the lynx and sighed: "Master Ni only kills two in his life, and he did it when he was young. The whole town has only caught two in the last three or four years. You can do it!"

"Leave it overnight to thaw and peel the skin." Wu Hao instructed his father.

"Okay!" Wu Weiguo readily agreed, and took the initiative to unload the car.

"Why did you change your sex?" Gao Lijuan was very puzzled, this is not like Lao Wu who is impatient when ordered to work.

Wu Weiguo showed off to his wife: "You know how much this thing is worth now!"

Gao Lijuan curled her lips: "How much is a big cat worth?"

She knew that this big cat was hard to beat, but she lived a serious life. She hadn't been to the countryside for several years, and she didn't know the price of leather.

They were not allowed to sell these things before.

In her heart, the price is at most 200 yuan. If there is no three bear galls at home, she will think that [-] yuan is a lot, and Lao Wu will have to work for half a year to earn it.

The mentality is different now.

She knew that three bear galls could be exchanged for at least three cows.

Wu Weiguo stretched out a finger, and Gao Lijuan curled her lips: "I know, what are you showing off with 100 yuan?"

Seeing him stretch out five fingers again: "One hundred and fifty, you won't show off!"

Wu Hao took the call to spread the knowledge to his mother: "Sable fur and otter fur are the most expensive small capillary fur. Fox fur, raccoon fur, lynx fur, badger fur are high-end large capillary fur."

"The coarse fur of mid-range fur is commonly used for sheepskin, dog skin, etc. The relatively low-grade miscellaneous fur is the most commonly used rabbit fur, and the price of pure white is higher."

"Some of the above skins are not yet collected."

Wu Hao pointed to the lynx and said: "This lynx's coat color and leather are of good quality. If the store doesn't lower the price, even if the head is broken, it can be sold for [-] yuan! Nowadays, it's hard to find these things because they hide in the mountains. , is a rarity."

"What!" Gao Lijuan's eyes were straightened. The one in front of her didn't listen carefully, but only paid attention to the numbers. She couldn't accept this price. A big cat that was not easy to beat could build three brick houses.

How many daughters-in-law did the son earn after going out for a night?
"The price of lynx skin increases by at least 200 yuan a year, and the price of bear bile increases by [-] yuan a year. After three years, the price will stabilize and rise slowly."

After listening to her son's words, Gao Lijuan regained her composure and said hastily, "You have to keep it, it's worth more than your father."

Wu Weiguo wanted to refute, thinking that the money he earned in a year was not as much as that of other lynx skins, so he swallowed the words again.

The three of them unloaded the car to feed the dogs and horses, and then took the raccoon, lynx, and wolverine into the main room to thaw out, ready to be skinned tomorrow morning.

The badger was put in the barn to freeze, and Zhao Jingjing wanted a whole one.

Xiaodoubao was playing with Pang Dun on the kang, when he saw the big cat brought in by his father jumping up and down: "Ah! Aaaah!"

"cat!"

Wu Weiguo put the lynx on the kang for his daughter to see.

The fat pier jumped up to a height of more than one meter with a sound of "嗤". It landed on the kang, arched and exploded, retreated in the corner of the wall, and stared at the lynx.

Wu Hao took out the penetrating knife and inserted it into the wound of the lynx, looked at Fatty and sneered, "If you catch another bird, I'll kill you!"

He killed the lynx to scare the cats, the fat man was really frightened enough, he jumped off the ground and ran into the back room in a hurry.

"Wow~" Xiaodoubao cried and pointed at the lynx: "Cat!"

"Why are you crying?" Gao Lijuan picked up her daughter and patted her back. This child is really rare.

Xiaodoubao lay on her mother's shoulder and cried, "Cat! Don't kill my cat!"

Wu Hao didn't go to coax his sister, this kid is not timid, dare to watch a pig slaughtered, not afraid of blood, just hypocritical.

This disease is easy to cure, so he gave his father a wink: "It's stewed."

"Yeah." Wu Weiguo understood. Tomorrow morning, after peeling the skin and stewing some lynx meat, let's see if she can eat it. The lynx meat is delicious even when cooked, better than bear meat.

After Xiaodoubao made a fuss for a while, he got into the bed and sulked. Wu Hao went to sleep after eating, and skinned the lynx in the morning.

Skinning a lynx is similar to skinning a feline canine.

He took the rope to the barn, hung the lynx upside down, picked it away from the heel with a knife, cut off the skin in a circle, and then slowly cut the lynx skin upwards.

Grab the skin and use a knife to peel it down little by little. When you encounter too much adhesion, use a knife to gently rotate and cut it.

He can't do the thing that the skin can take out the meat by opening the mouth, and Lao Wu can't do it either, the skin must be cut open.

After the two legs are peeled and the tail is stripped, it is the same as the hind legs.

Continuing to go down, the belly had been cut open. He grabbed the skin and tore it down slowly, while using the penetrating knife to gently cut open the sticky place.

Be very careful when it comes to the front legs.

Many hunters still can't skin their prey even if they hit a lot of prey, mainly because they are not careful enough and impatient.

If the knife is too fast and the hand is unstable, the leather will be damaged, and the price will be greatly reduced, and it may only be sold for half the price.

The next step is to overdo it. If the head is intact, be very careful. Cutting off the fur and muscle junction must be very careful.

When it comes to the ears, it is especially necessary to move carefully, because the ear skin is too thin.

Half of the lynx's head was broken, and Wu Hao didn't peel it carefully. Peeling the ear skin is the most difficult. You need to use a small knife, just like embroidery with a knife. Don't dare to use a little force, and the skin will be cut with a little force.

After peeling off the whole skin, he was exhausted and sweated all over, flowing to the wound below his left rib, as painful as being stung by a bee.

He went into the house and secretly wiped the wound with a towel, reapplied the medicine and bandaged it before coming out to continue working.

The next step is to deal with the leather.

The fat is first scraped off, then stretched and dried in the sun, and the rest is the work of Lao Wu for tanning and smoking.

Wu Weiguo has already put the lynx meat marinated in salt, sugar, soy sauce and other seasonings into the pot, added water and other seasonings, and stewed it slowly over low heat.

Take out another sliced ​​marinated badger meat and fry it in a pan with a small amount of oil.

It's almost noon after Wu Hao finished packing, and Xiaodoubao is already drooling after eating late today, this kid is very greedy now.

My memory is not bad, I always think about what I want to eat.
