Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 80 Prey
Yue Pengcheng has been living on the mountain, and goes to the mountain with everyone every day, breaking pine cones, picking walnuts, picking mountain grapes, picking schisandra, anyway, there is something to be busy every day.This time, Yue Pengcheng, who grew up in the town and had never been in the mountains, was very happy. Even if he was so tired every day, he would follow Wenhan and Jinghan up the mountain with full energy the next day.After three or four days, I got used to the labor, and it was not so uncomfortable.

Time flies, and it happens to be August [-]th.Because I heard that people in the sixteen villages played sticks, Yue Pengcheng didn't even go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival. He wanted to watch the stick sticks on the mountain.Since everyone said so, the Xu family couldn't get rid of him.So, Mrs. Chen asked Wenchang and the old man to go to the town to buy a lot of things for the festival, and the family prepared for the festival.

Wenchang had already agreed with Baiweilou that he would not come to deliver fish when the autumn harvest was busy.Although Steward Sun was very reluctant, he also knew that he was busy with the autumn harvest, so he couldn't force Wenchang to deliver the fish again.He only said that he was waiting for the autumn to be over, and if he could still get off the net, he would try his best to send it there a few more times.It happened that the fish was up in the morning, and several big fish were kept aside for the festival, and the rest were sent to the town.

Wen Han, Wen Cheng and Jing Han and the others ran to the trap outside the stick early to wander around.There are often some prey that fall into these traps, and the traps are dug relatively deep, and ordinary animals basically come and go.There are [-] or [-] traps in total, everyone checks them one by one.

In a trap on the northeast corner, the children found two rabbits, and in the next one, a roe deer.Now the children are happy, and the harvest is not small.Unexpectedly, when they wandered to the south, they found a big deer in the trap.This is a male sika deer, which is quite big.Fortunately, the trap was dug quite big, so the deer didn't escape.Apparently it fell in last night, and the deer has been stabbed by the spikes in the trap and bled to death.

This guy is too big for the children to handle, so Wen Han told Wen Xuan to hurry back and call Zhixin and Zhiming over, only adults can get it.Wen Xuan ran away to find his father.

Not long after, Zhixin and Zhiming brothers came. Seeing the big guy underground, Zhiming couldn't help admiring, "What a big guy. This thing has a lot of uses."

Zhixin tied a rope around his waist and tied the other end to a tree. Then he went down carefully, avoiding the sharp thorns in the ground, and tied the rope to the deer.Then everyone pulled the deer up with all their strength, and Zhixin also pushed up the deer with all his strength.It took a lot of effort to get the deer up. "This guy looks like it weighs [-] to [-] catties, but it's heavy enough." Zhiming wiped his sweat and said.

Yue Pengcheng belonged to the category of people who had eaten venison and had never seen what a deer looked like, so this time he had learned a lot.He stepped forward and touched the deer's body, and then touched the two antlers twice, at this time the antlers were already ossified. "It turns out that deer look like this. I really haven't seen it before."

Jinghan smiled, "Brother Pengcheng, we have something good to eat tonight. Let's eat venison tonight. Dad, let's go back later and discuss it. Can we have barbecue at night?" With so much game, if What a shame not to have a barbecue.When Jing Han thought about it, her saliva was about to flow out.

"You girl, I just want to eat it. Go back and discuss it with your grandma later, I can't make up my mind." Zhixin and Zhiming tied a rope to the deer's body, then found a piece of wood, and put it on. Under the rope, the brothers lifted up and walked back and forth.

Wen Han and Jing Han did not go back, but continued to look at those traps. I don’t know what happened today. There were some prey in the other traps, a few hares and a fox, which made the children very happy. Happily carrying the prey home.

When they got home, Zhixin and his brothers were skinning the deer. The two antlers had been sawed off and put aside.This deer is full of treasures, venison, deer blood, deer tendons, deer bones, deer penis, no matter what it is, it is a good thing.The two elder brothers handled everything carefully, especially Zhiming, who cared more about holding these things than gold and silver.

After the deer was dealt with, and the rest of the prey were also dealt with, Jing Han went to discuss with Mrs. Chen about eating barbecue.Chen thought about it, and felt that Yue Pengcheng was on the mountain, just like his family, and there was nothing to entertain him.He should also like this barbecue, so he nodded in agreement.

"That's great, we can have barbecue tonight." Jinghan jumped up happily.

"Look at you, how can you look like a girl? Well, your father has almost cleaned up. What do you want to eat? Find your third aunt to get the meat off and marinate it with ingredients. Good evening Yes. Tonight, let’s light a fire in this yard and eat barbecue around it.” Seeing the joyful appearance of the children, Mrs. Chen couldn’t help laughing.Isn't life just for fun?Besides, today's Mid-Autumn Festival should be lively and lively.

After listening to grandma's words, Jinghan hurried to find Mrs. Zhu and asked her to cut out all the meat to be used and marinate it with some seasoning.The children were helping out, looking at the pieces of meat, they all felt that their saliva was a little uncontrollable.

"Go into the woods and get some wooden sticks. It doesn't need to be too thick, just as thick as a finger. Peel the skin and sharpen one end. Let's save it for wearing meat at night. Do you understand?" Zhu ordered.

"Understood." The children shouted in unison.

Here, Zhixin is nailing the deer tendons to the wooden board, so that the deer tendons will be straight when dry.Mrs. Chen came to Zhixin's side and said in a low voice, "Boss, pack up the deer tendons and deer whips well, and take them with the young master of the Yue family when he leaves. They took them when they came. We don’t have much to sell for such gifts. Starting tomorrow, we’ll find two big ones for him to take with him. It’s worth thinking about it. Seeing this, Young Master Yue and We, Wen Han and Wen Cheng, get along well. We should make friends with such people. We don’t cling, but we can’t just ask for things from others and not return gifts.” The old lady still cares about these things.

"Hey, mother, don't worry, my son understands." Zhixin nodded.The young master of the Yue family is very easy-going, has no airs at all, and gets along well with his own children, just for this, he has to prepare some rewards for him.In addition, although these things are valuable in the eyes of others, in their eyes, they are easy to get, and it shows their own intentions.

At noon, Wenchang and the old man came back from the town with a lot of things.Pork, white noodles, rice, moon cakes and the kind of green-skinned pears.In addition, I didn't buy less oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and I couldn't live without these.When the old man saw these prey at home, he asked what they were doing, and Mrs. Chen hurriedly told him that he planned to eat barbecue at night.

The old man nodded, "Succeed, tomorrow will be the hammer. After a year of busy work, everyone is hungry. Eat a good meal, and then work hard tomorrow."

Now that the evening barbecue was set, Mrs. Chen put away the pork she bought, and then everyone didn't need to make dumplings, just prepare and order meals.

The old man said that he has been very busy these days, and the children are also very tired. They don't have to go up the mountain in the afternoon and have a day off.Wen Han and the others also understood that the old man was afraid that Yue Pengcheng would be exhausted, so everyone rested in the room after lunch.

"It's rare to take a break. It's noon, and we have nothing to do. Let's get some sleep. Get up later and go to the riverside dock to fish." Jing Han took out a small quilt, and gave each of Jing Wan and Jing Xian a small quilt, Everyone lay on the kang and fell asleep after a while.

This sleep was sound and sweet, and it was not time for everyone to wake up.Wenhan came to call Jinghan and the others, saying that he was going to play by the river.Jinghan and the others hurried out of the house and went to the riverside with the brothers.

Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Zhu at home have marinated the meat slices to taste, and now they are putting the meat on the wooden sticks. The two sisters-in-law are talking and laughing while working. "Sister-in-law, it's better to be on the mountain. Before this, where did you think you could eat barbecue? Look at it now, if these meats are brought to restaurants, you can't buy them for a few taels of silver? Just let us eat them." Zhu Shi felt a little pity.

"Yingzi, don't say that. First, our family lives in the mountains. It's easier to get these things. Second, the children have been busy this autumn. It's rare for them to think about it. They are satisfied. The third is the young master of the Yue family. He has been here for a few days. You can see that he doesn't choose what to eat, and he follows us. He eats much better than ours at home. Today It's a holiday, so no matter how well we do it, we can't catch up with their family. But this barbecue is different, even if their family can roast it, I'm afraid they don't have such wild animals. My mother is doing the right thing." Xue Wearing meat on his hands, he told Mrs. Zhu some things about it.

"I understand this, but I just feel a little bit reluctant." Zhu smiled, "Our family is quite special. How can other people's families love children as much as ours? If this makes those old-fashioned You know, why don’t you say that we spoiled our children to heaven?” Mrs. Zhu’s words were true, and in this era, many families raised their children like small animals.Those who stutter, and then have to work every day, like the Xu family who loves their children so much, and rely on their children in everything, really are not too many.
