Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 288
The animal ran left and right in the grass, but it didn't run too fast, so Liu Ya was not left far behind.Moreover, Liu Ya heard the "tapping" footsteps, and thought it should be a deer or something.This greatly reduces the danger, so Liu Ya has no intention of giving up.

After chasing for a while, Liu Ya felt that she was already very close, so she stepped more lightly.Although deer are highly alert, they are also very curious.Maybe he would stop from time to time to inquire before he really encountered any harm.It is also because of this that Liu Ya has the opportunity to slowly approach the past.

Pushing aside another clump of long grass, Liu Ya saw a musk deer in the grass in front of her that was chewing on a blade of grass while tilting its head to look at her.Musk deer is also called musk deer, and musk is shoveled out by this animal.

But Liu Ya took a look, and found that this musk deer was not big, probably not yet grown up, and only male musk deer could produce musk, so the deer in front of him should not have musk.

Liu Ya looked at the stones in her hand, and threw away the small ones, leaving only two big ones. Taking advantage of Xiangyou's effort to pull the grass leaves, she suddenly exerted force with both hands, and knocked the stones away. out.The two stones hit the musk deer's forehead and ears almost at the same time, and the musk deer shook its head, but it didn't fall to the ground.

Liu Ya took advantage of this skill to rush out, and at the same time drew out the sharp knife on her waist, and jumped over in a few steps.With the knife in his hand, he cut off the carotid artery of the musk deer.

Seeing the musk deer twitching and falling to the ground, Liu Ya grabbed a few large blades of grass, wiped the knife clean, and brought it back to her waist.Then I went to find a few clumps of hay, pulled the grass and weaved a straw rope.

When Liu Ya came back after weaving the simple straw rope, the musk deer had already shed all blood and was dead.Liu Ya tied up the limbs of the musk deer with straw ropes, then found a branch that was strong enough to pass through the limbs, and carried it on her shoulder.

This musk deer is small in stature, weighing more than 20 kilograms.Liu Ya felt heavy on her shoulders, and this was after the bloodletting.

Back to the cave, Liu Ya put the musk deer into the cave, the coolest and drier place.Now she only has a horn knife, which is not convenient for skinning and cutting meat, so she can only take it home at night and clean it up.However, she still cut off one of the deer's hind legs with a knife, peeled off the skin, and took out the spices she brought to prepare for pickling.

Liu Ya didn't have a scale at hand, so she could only adjust the amount of spices according to the approximate ratio.Fortunately, these spices are not medicinal materials. If there is too much, the taste may be almost or too strong, and it will not kill people.

The seasonings that were too large could not be used directly, so Liu Ya found two more stones, put several kinds of seasonings together and slowly smashed them into small particles.Then I found several big leaves, put seasoning, salt and sugar on the deer's legs, and wrapped them with leaves.In this way, marinate for a period of time before the leg meat can taste.

Liu Ya put the wrapped roe deer legs away, and then came out to insist on the oven that Cang Qianche had built for her before.The mud on the outside has completely dried out, and it looks quite flat and smooth, which proves that Cang Qianche's craftsmanship is not bad.In order to facilitate heat preservation, the furnace mouth was not made very large, so it is now covered with a stone.

Moving the stone away, Liu Ya probed in to have a look, and took a few more breaths, fearing that there might be some bad smell inside, if the food was baked directly after turning on the oven, she was afraid that the smell would be too strong and affect the original aroma of the food.

But it's okay.This stove is built with stones, and the gaps are just wiped with yellow mud. They are all original ecological materials and have no special smell.At most, it has a bit of earthy smell, and it will be fine after being smoked and roasted with fruit wood several times.

Liu Ya was slightly relieved, so she went to find some fruit trees nearby.There are so many wild fruit trees on this mountain, it is not difficult to find fruit trees to make firewood roots.After a while Liu Ya came back with several large fruit firewood, put the firewood in the stove, and started the fire to raise the stove.

Liu Ya reckoned that if he burned the fire a few more times, the aroma of the fruit trees would cover up the earthy smell in the oven, and he should be able to directly roast the roe deer legs.

During this period, Liu Ya went around again, but brought back another pheasant.It is directly plucked, opened, cleaned, and brought back. It is also marinated with the previously prepared ingredients, and then go back to add fire to the oven.

This busy work lasted almost an hour, and when Liu Ya removed the stone on the oven again, a faint smoke came out of it, and a unique aroma of burning fruit wood wafted out.Although it is not particularly rich, if you add food, wait for the oil on the food to be secreted by the fire and then pour it on the fruit wood, then this oven will definitely be full of aroma.

"Ya'er, what delicious food did you get? Did you know I'm coming and are already preparing lunch?" Cang Qianche's voice suddenly came to mind from above, and when Liu Ya raised her head, she saw that he was habitually hanging upside down again. On a tree, a head of jet-black long hair hangs down, looking particularly chic and casual.

"Why are you here again?" Although Liu Ya said so with a disgusted expression on her face, she was still very happy in her heart.

"Just to see you." Cang Qianche jumped off the tree, came to the side of the oven, touched the outside of the oven with his hand, and said, "The temperature is okay, is there any leak?"

"No, it's pretty good." Liu Ya lifted the stone at the mouth of the furnace again, and let Cang Qianche look at it, and said: "The height is also just right, the fire burns underneath, as long as you don't use too much firewood, the flames won't burn up , and the food won’t burn.”

"Hmph, I don't even know who came up with it. I've been researching it for a long time for an oven like yours." Cang Qianche was actually somewhat arrogant, and he straightened his back and said it with air.

Liu Ya glared at him, and said, "Okay, I know you've bothered me, I thank you very much. Today I caught a roe deer, and the two front legs will be yours in a while."

"The deer doesn't have much meat, and the front legs are even thinner. I want the hind legs. Don't they have two hind legs? I want one." Cang Qianche was quite talented in rascals, and asked for the hind legs directly.

Liu Ya curled her lips into a smile, pointed to the cave and said, "Then I can't do anything about it. The deer I killed today only has one hind leg."

"Nonsense, how did it run and jump without a hind leg? Isn't it dead long ago, and you need to beat it." Cang Qianche walked into the cave with a look of disbelief after finishing speaking.

Liu Ya followed behind him and said with a smile: "Yes, I didn't kill this deer, I picked it up. It was like this when I picked it up, so you don't even need the front legs, the only one The hind leg is mine."
