Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 253 How to eat Lou Sou’s cheap seafood?

The Luancha Stone Mountain that Ma Liu mentioned is located to the east of Gongyao Lingzi, more than twenty miles away from Shizuigou, and has already reached the boundary of Wanye at the foot of the ridge.

The former Jumping Pond is behind the Black Stone Pond, more than ten miles away from each other, and fifty or sixty miles away from Luancha Stone Mountain.

The territory of brown bears is quite spacious, with an average area of ​​more than 200 square kilometers and a maximum area of ​​2600 square kilometers. It is normal for the territories of male bears and female bears to overlap. After all, they have to solve physiological problems and reproduce offspring.

Xu Ning had a good chat with Ma Liu in the cellar. After all, he brought Ma Liu some good news that was not exciting.

It was more than ten minutes before eleven o'clock, when Xu Ning and Wang Hu said goodbye to Ma Liu and left Dixiangzi.

Then the two of them went down the mountain along the north end and entered the village from the east entrance of the village. When passing by Lao Chang's house, they saw Chang Danian and Li Baoquan collecting wild boars and roe deer in the yard. Xu Ning and Wang Hu did not enter the house, but I lay on the fence and chatted with Chang Danian for a while...

It was just past 12:30 when we arrived home. Li Fuqiang, Liu Daming and others had already cleaned the brains and hooves of wild boar, roe deer and deer.

At this moment, Li Fuqiang was cleaning up the bear's tongue, and Liu Daming was picking up the feathers of the pheasant. Next to him, Liu Tianen and Wang Biao had a pot of small crucian carp in front of them, and they were eviscerating it.

However, Xu Feng and Li Jinyu were standing in front of the kennel, holding bone sticks in their hands, gnawing on the bones and shaking their heads in a greedy manner.

Liu Lizhen and Wang Shujuan were chopping dumpling fillings in the west room, and the sound of horse hoofbeats was rhythmic.

Xu Long was leaning on the edge of the Kang, breaking off the pig's trotters. Although they were already cooked, the fishy smell was still very strong, so they had to be broken into small pieces, and Yang Shuhua would make sauce later. The sauced pig's trotters are It's a delicious dish that not only suppresses the fishy smell, but also comes with salt essence.

Li Fuqiang turned around and said with a smile: "Oh my god, my brother is back. Uncle, what a surprise to you, you didn't bring anything back with you."

There was meat in the big pots on the two stoves. Yang Shuhua stood in front of the stove in the east room and poked the meat with her long chopsticks. When it felt soft, she took the large pieces of meat into the aluminum basin...

"Ah, that's not bad, it doesn't count as a short hit."

On the side, Li Fuqiang handed the aluminum basin in his hand to Li Mantang. He held the aluminum basin and went to the outhouse. The basin was filled with various tongues, such as wolf, bear, deer, roe deer, wild boar...

"I'm really unprepared. Didn't I mention Niu Li before? This brown bear is quite vicious."

Some people may think that the tongue is dull, but this is not the case. The tongue should have a layer of membrane on its surface.

As for these wolf tongues, bear tongues, and deer tongues, Lao Xu's family had not prepared them before. Firstly, they were too troublesome, and secondly, they wanted to save them for the New Year, because there were only a few of them, and each person would take one bite and destroy them in two meals. .

Xu Ning said: "There was a pheasant wandering around, and I left it behind for Ma Liu."

Wang Hu said: "Second brother, last time we were willing to play green leather. Isn't that green leather quite spiritual?"

He didn't dare to shout, and he didn't dare to move. The male roe deer held him in place for more than three points, and the wounds from the branches stuck in his legs were solidified. His life was not destined to be cut off, as he was hunted by a group of people in the mountains. The deer was encountered.

Xu Ning smiled and said, "Then why don't you stop me?"

Li Mantang straightened up from the entrance of the kitchen pit and ran towards the courtyard, just in time to see Xu Ning and Wang Hu entering the door.

Ask him why he didn't resist? Because his legs were not only pierced by branches, but his feet were also stuck in the cracks of stones, making it impossible to move...

Moreover, the roe deer also made noises to scare him. When he heard him grunting or saw his body shaking, he lowered his head and leaned forward again.

After blanching, scrape off the film to reveal the meat inside.

A man encountered a group of roe deer. The man held a gun and knocked down a female roe deer. The rest of the roe deer scattered in all directions. He thought that the roe deer were gone, so he put bullets into the gun and shot the roe deer at the same time. Walk forward to give it a shot.

"Hahaha, my old uncle's chatter is quite sharp..."

The five puppies, Hualang and One-Eyed, grunted in greed, but the four dogs, Qing Lang, had seen the world and just lay in the kennel, unmoved by Xu Feng's display.

In the outhouse, Wu Qiuxia and Han Fengjiao were cutting green vegetables. These vegetables were a bag brought by Xu He before. In addition to blanching beans and freezing them, other vegetables such as cucumbers, garlic sprouts, onions, carrots, cabbage, etc. They were all buried in the soil of the vegetable cellar, with a layer of quilt spread outside. This method of preserving vegetables could last at least a month.

This shrimp cracker was given by Yang Liguo. Yang Shuhua fried a pot this afternoon. Now there is a gap. Because Xu Feng, Li Jinyu, Li Mantang, Wang Biao and Liu Tianen grabbed a handful and chewed them when they had nothing to do. It's crispy and crispy in the mouth, and it doesn't occupy much of your stomach. It just makes a living.

This is the real good stuff. Not only is the meat firm and chewy, it also has the functions of promoting digestion and absorption, conditioning the body, repairing the stomach wall, nourishing yin and moisturizing, and nourishing the kidneys and qi!

Liu Daming said proudly: "That's for sure. In the past few days, all the people in the village have gone to Dongshan for a walk. If they have anything to do, I have to take it away for you."

But unexpectedly, a male roe deer jumped out of thin air. This male roe deer had horns on its head and was very fast. It knocked him to the ground. Bullets and shotguns flew out, and one of his legs got caught in a tree root and he fell. Then it was pierced by a branch.

Immediately, Li Fuqiang and Liu Daming smoked cigarettes, and Xu Ning used this time to briefly tell the story of Ma Liu and the brown bear.

"Mantang, go ask your dad if he has had his tongue trimmed?"

Even a silly-looking roe deer cannot be treated as a pet. Xu Ning remembered something. In the autumn of 84, he placed a small green tea jar south of Shetang Valley.

"Eh."

Xu Ning nodded, "There are no stupid animals in the mountains. You must be careful whenever you enter the mountains. No matter how experienced we are, we cannot take it lightly and underestimate the animals in the mountains."

He grinned in pain, but lay on the ground and did not dare to move, because as soon as he moved, the male roe deer lowered his head and humped him. The autumn temperature was not cold, so he was wearing a little thin clothing, and his back was bruised by the horns of the roe deer.

"I want to stop you, how can you let go of the pig's hair? If you are lazy, just say you are lazy. I have to give you a thumbs up."

Several people looked at each other and then nodded. Of course they agreed with Xu Ning's statement. The mountain people living at the foot of the mountain were all too aware of the lethality of mountain animals.

Having said that, Xu Ning didn't take this matter to heart at all before, just for fun at the time, but since seeing the three big cats, his mentality has changed.

"You really didn't do anything for fun?" Liu Daming asked.

They fired two shots, first frightening the male roe deer away, and then some people surrounded him and beat the male roe deer to death. The people who were lying on the ground and were pressed three or four times by the roe deer were excited after seeing this group of people. All cried loudly.

A living person is not made of steel at any time. As long as he is a human, he will die, let alone in this dangerous mountain and old forest.

"Second Uncle, Uncle Tiger!"

Liu Daming nodded: "Animals that have been shot are very smart. They know what is dangerous. If they encounter raw melons and eggs, Li San and Li Feng will also be in danger."

At first, the group of people heard the coughing sound of a roe deer. They thought that if they didn't see a deer, it would be easy to hunt a roe deer. When they pulled back the dense tree slats, they saw a man curled up on the ground, and the male roe deer was concentrating on his body. he.

When they entered the outhouse, Han Fengjiao told them that if they were hungry, they should eat some shrimp crackers and deboned meat without taking a bite, because Xu Laowen and Wang Erli would not be back until more than one o'clock, and they would start cooking again by then, so they would probably have enough time to start the meal. About half past two.

The dishes that needed to be prepared were almost ready. After Wu Qiuxia and Han Fengjiao finished cutting the vegetables, they went to the West Room to help roll out and wrap dumplings.

People in the Northeast make dumplings all by themselves. Sometimes Liu Lizhen doesn’t know what to cook, so she just says, “Let’s just make some ready-made ones.”

This ready-made dumpling is actually quite laborious, but it is relatively simple, and everyone in the family is happy to eat it, and no one will be picky. It is the easiest dish to make, because both vegetables and rice are included.

Li Fuqiang washed the soaked mushrooms and handed them to Yang Shuhua. She poured the chopped pheasant into the large pot and stir-fried, then poured hot water into the mushrooms, covered the pot, and put a rag around the edge to prevent Gas leakage.

And Xu Ning is not idle either. He is feeding the dog in the lower room. Sometimes he is said to be lazy, but he is quite happy to serve the dog.

"Brother, is my uncle back? Listen to the noise."

After Xu Ning finished feeding the dog, he put down the dog's food bowl and nodded: "Yeah, I'm back."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a Dongfeng car, with its engine sounding, parked at the door of Lao Xu's courtyard.

Immediately, the engine sound turned off, Xu Laowen and Wang Erli got out of the car one after another, glanced towards the courtyard, and waved to say hello: "What are you looking for? Here comes someone!"

Xu Ning, Li Fuqiang and Wang Hu and Wang Biao, who ran out of the house, walked towards the entrance of the courtyard.

"What are you saying?" Xu Ning asked.

Xu Laowen grinned and said, "Uncle Guo secretly brought some good things to our family."

"What good stuff is it?" Xu Long, who had just come out, asked.

"Ocean! Don't make any noise, our family should own this thing."

Xu Ning opened the sack and saw the kelp and shrimps inside. The shrimps were Pipi shrimps.

In fact, currently, these two things are very common in coastal areas, and they are one of the two seafood that fishermen hate the most. The other thing they don’t like is crabs, because they don’t have much meat, so they can’t be sold at a high price. The price is like Like Chinese cabbage. It's just like the southern region looks down on matsutake mushrooms. Nowadays, when the southern region goes to the mountains to pick mushrooms, their eyelids droop when they see the matsutake mushrooms. It's like thirty years later, when there is a dime on the ground, people don't want to bend down to pick it up.

But these things that are looked down upon in coastal areas are actually good things in the eyes of mountain people in the interior!

Because I have never seen or tasted anything. For example, people these days have never seen bananas, mangosteens, and have never heard of the word durian...

The kelp weighed more than ten kilograms, and the shrimps and clams were also about ten kilograms. Xu Ning carried it in his hand and took another bucket of soybean oil.

Soybean oil is pure soybean oil bred from black soil. Xu Ning dares to say that soybeans from any region in the world cannot compare to those from black soil!

There are also three bags of noodles and three bags of rice in the car, each weighing thirty kilograms, and three barrels of soybean oil, each weighing five kilograms.

Entering the courtyard, Xu Long asked: "Where did my uncle Guo do his tidying up?"

Xu Laowen said with a smile: "Last week his comrade-in-arms came over from Liaodong, and he was handed over by hand. It was a hundred catties in total, and twenty catties were given to our two families."

"Ah, Liaodong is quite wealthy."

Xu Ning said with a smile: "The seafood over there is just like the mushrooms and fungus here, they are cheap."

"What the hell, have you eaten it?" Xu Laowen curled his lips.

Of course Xu Ning had eaten it, but he said, "I won't let you talk nonsense."

"I found out that you have been cheating on me these past two days. What do you want?"

"I'll tell my mother."

Xu Laowen frowned and said, "If you have something to say, just talk it over, it's useless."

After entering the house, Liu Lizhen saw the kelp and shrimp crawlers, and her face was almost deformed with shock.

"Oh my god, what a joke, I don't know how to do it! Shuhua, do you know how to do it?"

Yang Shuhua shook her head dullly: "I don't know how. I've never seen this toy before. It looks like a money string."

"Hahaha, it is indeed a money string, but it is a money string in the sea." Xu Laowen laughed proudly.

Liu Lizhen patted his arm, "Do you know how to deal with it? What are you doing with this stupid smile?"

Xu Laowen's eyes froze, "Oh shit, I forgot to ask..."

At this time, Xu Ning stood at the door of the east room, leaning on the door frame and said: "The kelp is stewed with tofu, and the shrimp crawlers can be steamed directly in the pot."

When the people in the outer room heard this, they turned to look at him. Liu Daming clapped his hands and said, "Oh my god, Erning is the only one in our family who has seen the world! Sister, listen, kelp stewed tofu, shrimp crawling directly." Serve the pot..."

Xu Laowen frowned suspiciously, turned around and said, "Don't you say you haven't eaten it before?"

"I've never eaten pork, and I've never seen a pig run away."

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed.

Wang Erli said with a smile: "My second nephew is really tough, haha..."

After a while, Liu Lizhen asked: "Where did Xiao Guo Fang get the surgery?"

Xu Laowen repeated what he said to Xu Ning and others. Liu Lizhen nodded and said: "What does his comrade want to do with him? Otherwise, how could he give it away like this?"

"It's something. His comrade-in-arms seems to be from the shipyard..."

After hearing this, Xu Ning remembered something. In 1984, the marine diesel engine factory of Liaodong Shipyard was set aside as a whole and operated independently.

But does this require the use of wood? It is definitely needed, but these days, the amount is approved by the authorities, and then distributed to local areas, and the local forest farms complete the tasks.

If Guo Xingmin had not received the approval, he would have made a mistake by allocating wood to his old comrades without permission.

However, in fact, this is not a mistake, because this kind of thing is quite common, and even if you are afraid of being caught in a pigtail, a small thing can turn into a big deal.

"Dad, did Uncle Guo tell you about this?" Xu Ning asked.

Liu Lizhen pushed Xu Laowen and said, "You guys come in and chat, we have to prepare the dishes."

Xu Laowen turned around and entered the room and said, "Are you asking about this?"

"This is a critical moment for the city's Forestry Bureau. Don't let me, Uncle Guo, make mistakes. Why didn't you give me a few words of advice?"

Xu Laowen frowned and said, "I didn't even think about it. Your Uncle Guo can't make mistakes either."

"What if someone makes excuses?"

Wang Erli asked from the side: "Er Ning, did you hear something?"

Xu Ning didn't hear any news. He was running around the mountains all day long, or just sitting at home. Where could he go to get news?

He was thinking of the warning punishment given to Guo Xingmin after Xu Laowei became paralyzed in his previous life, and this punishment basically ruined Guo Xingmin's path to advancement.

"I haven't heard anything. I just feel something is wrong. This is a very important point. When immigrants first enter the village, they all know to go to the village to visit the pier. My uncle Guo did not wait for the boat to dock and refueled privately. When the ship docks, the dock will be short of oil. Will the captain agree? Will this affect the ship's sailing distance? "

Wang Erli understood what it meant, turned around and asked: "Brother?"

Xu Laowen stood up with a sullen face and said: "I'm going to visit the Tunbu..."

"I'll go with you." Wang Erli followed closely.

Liu Lizhen saw the two of them walking out in a hurry and shouted: "Haha, are you going? We're going to eat soon."

"Be back in a minute."

Liu Lizhen opened the door curtain and asked, "Are you going to eat the money strings in the sea today?"

"Eat it, you can save it for New Year's Eve dinner."

"Then let's finish it at night. Later, your sister-in-law will make some paste and you can paste it on the lantern."

Xu Ning nodded: "Okay, where is the lantern in the house?"

Xu Long said: "It's in my house. The lanterns are ruined. They can still be used for a year, but they have to be renovated during the New Year."

Most of the lanterns are made of iron wire, but the lanterns of Old Xu's family are made of wooden strips. They have been in use for more than ten years and were made when Xu Ning's grandfather was still alive.

Li Fuqiang said: "Then we can fix it now. I still have two lantern stands. I didn't have time to fix them in previous years, so I have to hang them up this year."

After all, Li Fuqiang's family conditions have improved.

"Huzi, go get those two lanterns from your house and paste them together."

"Got it."

As soon as Xu Ning walked to the outhouse, Liu Lizhen gave him a blank look and said, "I've asked you to decorate the lantern for a long time, so why don't you be lazy."

"Then why don't you let my elder brother fix it?"

Xu Long glared and said, "You see me idle all day long? Why do you open your mouth!"

"I just have a free day."

Liu Lizhen smiled and said, "What are you thinking about?"
