Yang Fan tied his cotton-padded clothes around his waist, and like the Tibetans, he raised his arms and chopped down the tree stump.
He has found the trick. The little girls carry the chopped wood pieces to him. A wall of firewood has been piled on the wall of the courtyard next to it. They are all one foot long and ten centimeters square.
The more Yang Fan chops, the more he feels it, and the more he chops, the more regular it becomes.
Yang Fan discovered that chopping firewood is also a happy thing. It relieves stress but is very tiring.
Xiao Niangpi and the others were instructing the servants to deal with the bear paws and bear carcasses. Chef Yang Fan didn't know how to do these things. Only when everything was done, he would go back to Shi Shiran to make white grilled bear paws.
After the bearskin is processed, it can be spread on the floor.
It is laid on the floor between the sofas and has a better surface than carpet.
They have already discussed it. The black bear skins obtained in Mongolia last time and the brown bear skins obtained this time can be placed on the floor in front of the bed in the bedroom. You can go to bed with bare feet and step on the soft bear skins.
There is also a sheet on the floor of Ningxiang Xiaozhu. This way their little feet will be warm, flexible and comfortable when they step on it in winter. They sit cross-legged and eat hot pot in Ningxiang Xiaozhu in winter.
It won't get cold anymore. Bear skin is super warm and insulates against moisture. It's even better than the gray wolf skin from the prairie.
Bear meat can replenish deficiencies and strengthen muscles and bones. It can cure athlete's foot, wind paralysis, inability to follow the hands and feet, and spasms of muscles and veins. It can replenish qi, moisturize the skin, and strengthen muscles. It is more suitable for girls like Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru who practice martial arts.
Supplements. Not only tonic but also beautifying.
Yang Fan looked back and saw that the two of them used sharp Damascus steel daggers to break open the bear's belly and were rummaging for bear bile. There was blood on Lin Yueru's face, so she didn't bother to wipe it off, looking for it intently.
Bear bile can be used as medicine. For warriors, its greatest effect is to relieve muscle spasms.
After a while, the little girl cheered, "Found it."
A wet gallbladder was lifted out with her little hands. They had done it once in the grassland last time, and they were familiar with it this time.
The surface of bear bile appears gray-black or brown-black, shiny, wrinkled, and has a thin skin. When viewed in the light, the upper part is often translucent. The texture is hard, and after being broken open, the cross-section is fibrous.
There is dried bile in the cyst, commonly known as "gall kernel", which is in the form of lumps, granules, powder or thick paste.
The gall kernels are shiny and vary in color. They are golden yellow, transparent and bright like amber, crispy in texture, and taste bitter but sweet. They are commonly called "golden gall" or "copper gall".
Those that are black, hard and brittle or in the form of thick paste are commonly called "ink gall" or "iron gall".
Those that are yellow-green, less bright and brittle are commonly called "cauliflower gall".
Bear bile gas has a slight fragrance or fishy smell, melts in the mouth, is extremely bitter, cool and does not stick to the teeth. The ones that are large, have golden yellow gall kernels, are bright, and taste bitter but sweet at the same time are better.
Obviously, what Xiao Niangpi and the others took out was a gold gall bladder.
Bear's paw is difficult to cook and involves many processes, even though many people are busy with it. Once this dish is finished, it can only be used as a midnight snack. Yang Fan first went to open the wild beehive and took out some honey. He tasted it and nodded with satisfaction.
Head, so delicious.
"Sir, why is this honey white and sandy? Can it be eaten?" Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru asked with drooling eyes.
"This is linden tree honey, which you have never seen before. It is a specialty only found in the Heilongjiang River Basin in the Northeast and the Daxinganling and Xiaoxinganling mountains. This stuff becomes milky white after freezing and solidifying, and it is sandy because of its high sugar content. This is really good stuff.
.After a while, cut a piece of honeycomb and put it on the bear's paw. The steamed bear's paw will be very delicious."
Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru were almost crying when they heard this. They kept urging Yang Fan to cook it quickly. Yang Fan could only smile bitterly, bear paws, wait for it to cook. It would be too late to eat this dish.
While Yang Fan was cooking for his wives, the leaders were also having fun in Shuangchengzi. They never knew that life could be so happy.
There are many good things in the Jurchen area of the East China Sea, such as alluvial gold, Dongzhu, ginseng, deer antlers, mink skins, salmon roe, Hericium erinaceus, golden birch bark,...but they have no way to cash it in. They can only hug it.
Begging for food with a golden rice bowl.
And the only one who has the ability to consume these is Ming Dynasty.
They went shopping and found that the things they brought could be sold at a good price here, several times better than the prices offered by the stingy people in Jianzhou. However, there were too many products here, most of which they had never heard of.
of.
They were told that the shops here only accepted banknotes. They needed to sell the goods they brought first to obtain banknotes, and then they could buy the supplies they wanted to buy.
Men all flocked to buy wine. The spirits here are all 60 degrees, and after drinking it, it feels like the entire esophagus and stomach are on fire. This feeling is so exciting, so manly, this is what a man is.
Drink wine.
Compared with the chewing wine that virgins chewed in the past, that one is simply what women drink. This kind of strong wine is what men should drink.
The kebabs here were grilled to a sizzling level, sprinkled with chili powder and cumin powder, spices and refined salt. They almost couldn't swallow their tongues. They were hooked on the first time they ate it.
The city has four gates. On the high ground in the center is a stone-walled mansion, which houses Yang Fan's residence and local government offices. The cross streets outside are full of shops. There are restaurants, pubs, and various shops.
.Those who sell clothes, those who sell furs, those who sell ironware... everything is available except those who sell food.
What they like most is actually a large bathhouse in the city. This is a hot spring hotel. It can not only bathe, but also stay.
At first, they resisted soaking away the grease and sludge on their bodies, but after getting super warm clothes like cotton clothes and pants, they no longer needed to smear lard to keep warm.
They took a hot bath and it was so comfortable. Everyone wiped off several pounds of clay. They were also impressed by the steaming and sauna sessions.
This bathhouse is divided into men and women. The female head Xiwenna and dozens of other female heads also came to bathe in the bathhouse. They are all young women in their twenties and thirties. Although they are very strong, they also have a love for beauty.
After being rubbed and bathed by the stout savage woman here, her snow-white skin was exposed.
A pure Jurchen girl has fair skin. She is also very tall and has a good figure. If girls from the Northeast are on point, their figure and face will be really wow. They are so beautiful.
They were doing steaming and drinking black tea. They felt that half of their lives had been in vain. These Han people would still enjoy it. Otherwise, Ming Dynasty would be the kingdom of heaven.
At this time, the Jurchens of the East China Sea were part of the savage Jurchens. However, they were relatively civilized. The Jurchens of the Northern Mountains were much better. A large part of them still belonged to the matriarchal tribal era. Therefore, there were also many female-headed people. There were at least more than thirty
Female-headed man.
Xiwenna sighed and said: "This twin city is really a gold-selling cave. I brought a bag of alluvial gold, and it bottomed out in one day."
Her sister Luna said: "But sister, you bought a lot of useful things. Axes, saws, steel knives, cotton clothes and pants, felt boots, dog-skin hats and sheepskin gloves, they are all good things. Several restaurants we ate in also
It’s so delicious, and it also has strong alcohol, which is my favorite.”
Other female-headed people also agreed. Xiwenna sighed in her heart. It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. She can't stand the temptation of these enjoyments, let alone other people. Ming Dynasty has these things, from now on
Donghai Nuzhen really wants to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.
