Catch the Mountain 1985

Chapter 84 Drinking and Eating
When Wang Xiufen called Zhang Peng to put the table in the outer room, everyone came to their senses. Zhang Peng quickly went to the ground, put on his cotton shoes and prepared to put the table. Today, there are still two tables on the kang, and the men headed by Zhang Tiejun are all on the same table. , the old lady took Wang Xiufen and the others to the same table.

As the dishes were served one after another, Zhang Peng also quickly brought the Northeastern sorghum wine and bowls, and then filled Zhao Laowen's wine first, then Uncle Zhao, and then Zhang Tiejun. Everyone was filled with wine. A big bowl of wine, even though the three brothers didn't like drinking very much.

Today's snacks are also very good, including shredded bear meat dipped in minced garlic, stir-fried cabbage with bacon, stewed crucian carp with melon seeds, stewed radish with roe deer meat, stewed pheasant with mushrooms, steamed chicken cake, and vermicelli meatball soup. This table of dishes will not be seen even during the Chinese New Year. This is something I would never dare to think about in normal times, but now there are two whole tables.

"We are all friends and relatives, so there is no need to do anything about it. Let's get started. Uncle, Decai, let's take a bite first. Auntie, Xiaoli, please don't be polite. Let's eat first."

Zhang Tiejun took the lead in raising the bowl and took a sip, and then called for everyone to start quickly. After giving this order, Zhang Peng and others started to eat. The ingredients of this dish were good, and Wang Xiufen and Li Cuihua’s skills were also good. Yes, Zhang Peng and others couldn't stop immediately.

Zhang Peng and the others had been struggling on the mountain for several days, but this time they had enough to eat. Their mouths were full, and their mouths were full of oil. Then they felt that eating was slow, so they kept filling their mouths. With.

After dinner, Zhao Laowen and Wang Xiaoli chatted for a while and then left. Knowing that they were tired from going up the mountain, they let them all rest early. Zhao Laowen, Zhang Tiejun, and Zhao Decai had all drank almost all of this pure grain sorghum wine. It was so strong that Zhang Tiejun lay down on the kang after drinking. Zhao Decai was helped back by Zhao Chunming and Li Cuihua, while Zhao Laowen was sent back by Zhang Peng. When they arrived at Zhao Laowen's house, they burned the kang for him and covered it with him. After the quilt came out, he took a look at his bodyguard at Heihu's place. He almost saw the puppy, and he was going to pick it up in two days.

The next morning, when Zhang Peng got up, he found that Zhang Tiejun had gone to work long ago. Only Wang Xiufen and her two sisters were left at home. After Zhang Peng finished washing and eating in the outer room, he came to the kang in the east room. Zhang Xiaoxia and Zhao Xiaolan gathered around.

"Brother, take us out to play. We want to see the jackals, but mom won't let us go."

Zhang Xiaoxia complained aggrievedly, Zhang Xiaolan nodded again and again beside her, Wang Xiufen's eyes widened when she heard this and she was about to speak, these two brats haven't given up yet.

"It's okay. I'll take you to have a look, but you can't get too close. You can only take a look."

After saying that, he took the two sisters to the ground, put on their shoes and prepared to go out. Wang Xiufen didn't say anything when she saw this. With Zhang Peng watching them, there should be no problem.

When they came to the kennel in the yard, Rhubarb was lazily basking in the sun. The weather today was very good, with clear skies. Although it was still very cold, it was still a rare weather.

When she saw Zhang Peng and others coming out, she immediately stood up, stretched, and then slowly walked forward, wanting to get close to the little master, while Xiao Hong followed behind Dahuang, and then sniffed Zhang Peng with her nose. Peng's scent, but because he was familiar with it, there was no sign of offense. However, when Zhang Peng raised his hand to stroke it, his body stiffened slightly, and then he relaxed and allowed Zhang Peng to stroke its head.

However, when Zhang Xiaoxia and Zhang Xiaolan wanted to get closer, they stepped back smartly and remained alert. Zhang Peng could understand that it was not easy for Xiaohong to accept Zhang Peng now. After all, it was a wild beast, not a domesticated one. As a pet, it is understandable that it is wary.

Maybe it will get better after a while, and there won't be such a big vigilance. Zhang Peng thought about what Zhao Decai said last night, and observed Xiao Hong carefully. It was true that she was a female jackal, but she couldn't tell right now. If you are not pregnant with a baby, you will have to wait a month or two to see your belly.After returning to the house and asking Wang Xiufen, she found out that Rhubarb and Xiaohong had not been fed in the morning. After instructing the two sisters not to get too close to Xiaohong, she quickly went to the barn to get some corn noodles, scalded them with boiling water, and added some meat oil and After mixing the salt evenly, divide it into two portions and put them in front of them.

Dahuang was naturally very happy. He wagged his tail at Zhang Peng, then lowered his head and started cooking. Xiaohong smelled it first, maybe because he thought it smelled good. After a few bites, he started eating in big mouthfuls. .

Zhang Peng looked at Xiao Hong who was eating. The more he thought about it, the more he realized that what Zhao Decai said made sense. Okay, I decided. I still have some canned egg meat at home, and my family doesn’t like to eat it, so I’ll just open a small stove often. If Xiaohong really has a cub, then the nutrition will keep up, and the little jackal will be healthy and well-nourished when it is born.

The puppies tied up on the other side saw that their owner had already fed them rhubarb, but had not yet made any move to feed them. They immediately became anxious and jumped up and down with howls, trying to attract Zhang Peng's attention and remind him that there were still a group of people in need here. Caring puppy gang.

Zhang Peng came to his senses. He was just imagining that the future was really good. He got distracted thinking about it and ignored the main force of the puppy gang in the future. This is not good. They will still be needed in the future. They are the serious main force. Army, jackal is a rare soldier.

Zhang Peng went back to repeat what he had just done, and then distributed it to the puppies. Zhang Peng deliberately added a few more spoons of meat oil to the corn noodles to add some nutrition to them. He hoped that they would grow up healthily quickly. The puppies now The buns are already very strong and chubby, so there is no problem if they are left outside in the winter.

After they were all fed, Wang Xiufen walked out with the pig food. There was still a little wild boar at home that had not been fed. She would need to rely on it to eat pig-killing vegetables during the Chinese New Year.

"Mom, I'm going to go to my uncle's house to have a look. I sent it back yesterday. I don't know how it will be today."

Zhang Peng cleaned up the kennel and cleaned up the feces and other things. It is precisely because he keeps dogs that the yard must be kept clean and hygienic. The puppy's resistance is not that strong yet, so extra attention must be paid.

"Ah, yes, go and take a look. There is no one to take care of you."

Wang Xiufen stopped and thought for a while, then returned to the house, took out a pair of cotton shoes, handed them to Zhang Peng, and then said: "You can also take these cotton shoes with you. These are made for Dad. This is Your dad hasn’t even put on the new ones. I estimate that both of their feet are about the same size. If they are bigger, put on two insoles. I saw your uncle’s shoes were tattered yesterday. Let him change to these."

"Okay, Mom, I'll finish cleaning up and leave soon."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Peng tidied up for a while, then took his shoes and slowly walked towards Zhao Laowen's house.
