The bear skin is set aside to dry, and the bear meat is cut into pieces. What you want to eat today is put into the pot. If you can't finish it, put salt on it. Dry it by the campfire and smoke it for a long time.
The most eye-catching thing was the four bear paws, all staring at them with drooling eyes.
The four bear paws are covered with fur and are divided into front and back paws.
The front paws are actually the bear's palms, and the back paws are actually the bear's paws. The front paws and the back paws are different.
The forefoot is smaller, about a centimeter long, with obvious palm flowers and a wide palm surface that does not smell fishy.
The back palm is longer, about centimeters long, the palm flowers are not obvious, the palm surface is narrow, and the smell is fishy and slightly smelly.
The way it is handled is also different.
Among all the people here, only An Sanxi can make bear paws. An Sanxi learned how to make bear paws on the grassland. People living on the grasslands do not have as many ingredients as in the mainland, so they can only make boiled bear paws.
An Sanxi directed, and the cook began to operate according to the steps.
Boil the front bear paws in boiling water for about 10 minutes and remove any dirt.
Boil water in the pot again, add the green onions, ginger and wine you brought, then add the bear paws and cook for 10 minutes, take them out and remove the fishy smell of the bear paws.
The back paws should be boiled in alkaline water to remove the fishy and stinky smell. Then they should be wrapped in yellow mud and burned in a fire pond for a while.
Then break up the yellow mud and put it into the pot to cook.
First boil four bear paws in warm water for an hour, then brush off the dirt and tear off the fat;
Put the cleaned bear paws into a military pot, add cold water and bring to a boil over high heat.
Cook until the hair can be picked off, then remove from the heat and pick off the hair and black skin while it is still hot.
Boil again, pry up the palm shell, use a sharp dagger to remove the shell and claws, cut the back and remove the bones, put it in a pot of boiling water to remove the fishy smell, cool it slightly, and slice it with a razor blade.
Then steam it in a drawer, cut a small piece of the honeycomb from a hornet's nest that you picked up on the road and put it on the bear's paw.
As it is heated, the honey will melt and flow into the sliced bear paws.
At midnight, the bear paws were finally ready.
The sliced bear paw meat is spread evenly on a stainless steel plate. At this time, the bear paw meat slices have turned into a paste and have risen.
Fresh and fragrant, crispy and smooth, and as white as jade in color.
Everyone was drooling. An Sanxi coughed, took out a stainless steel spoon, and pressed it down in the middle. A small amount of soup flowed into the spoon. An Sanxi poured out the small amount of soup.
He put the juice into his mouth, tasted it carefully for a while, and then sighed with satisfaction.
These little cubs don’t know that the most delicious thing about bear paws is not the meat, but the spoonful of soup. An Sanxi thought to himself, these little cubs will definitely scold me in their stomachs if they find out later, hahaha.
"Okay, you can eat. One piece per person. No one can eat more. That's all."
Immediately, everyone lined up automatically. This is the rule of the cavalry team for eating, and there will be no confusion at all.
Everyone got a piece of meat. In the end, even the guide and others got a piece of meat. In the end, there were only two pieces left, and An Sanxi was not polite and ate them directly.
"Is it delicious?" An Sanxi asked.
“Delicious, so fragrant”
“So delicious, tender and smooth”
"It was just too little. I didn't even taste the taste, so I swallowed it directly."
After eating the bear paws, today's bonfire party was over. An Sanxi sent them all back to sleep. Except for the sentry, they all entered the tents and got into sleeping bags to sleep. They were all noisy until midnight, and they had to go on the road tomorrow.
An Sanxi was lying in her sleeping bag, but couldn't sleep, thinking about something on her mind.
I wonder if my mother will be worried when I lead the troops out this time. The old man's eyes have not fully recovered yet, and he still sheds some tears when he sees the light.
She couldn't stay idle, so she insisted on doing needlework. Now that she had more income, she could afford to buy cloth and cotton, and she insisted on making more sets of clothes for herself.
Sewing is a waste of time, and I can't persuade myself.
In three days we will reach Bazi, which is a naturally formed platform with a height difference of nearly a kilometer, making it an invincible city wall.
People stand below and look at the suddenly raised terrain, which is like a city wall. It is very shocking. And above it is the Bashang grassland.
This is also the difficulty for farming peoples to attack the grasslands.
Once on the grassland, there were enemies on all sides. Although An Sanxi knew the grassland well, he still felt heavy pressure.
I slowly thought about it and finally fell asleep.
Today is the day that Yang Fan visits Tushan's house again, and today is the day to receive the gift. That is why Yang Fan made a special trip to meet the matchmaker to deliver the betrothal gift and the gift book.
Today, the housekeeper of the British government accompanied Yang Fan as a representative of the big matchmaker. The only gift was the thousand taels of gold promised by Yang Fan.
Yang Fan originally prepared gold bars, but when Mr. Wu saw it later, he said that this was not in line with etiquette, and he wanted to recast it into a gold bar, which is a gold nugget shaped like two triangular tips butt together.
There are also auspicious words cast on it, such as "a good marriage," "a happy marriage for a hundred years," "IKEA, a good home," and so on.
Yang Fan had no choice but to recast it. Zunhua was all about smelting, and there were many people who knew how to do this trivial thing.
One thousand taels of gold was enough to fill a small box. It was very heavy, weighing more than seventy kilograms, and it took two people to carry it.
After completing the procedure, the mediator took his leave first. Tu Shanyong left Yang Fan to talk in the study. Naturally, the two of them wanted to get closer to each other.
Tu Shan and Yang Fan had not been chatting for thirty minutes, and Xiao Niangpi had already walked past the door pretentiously a dozen times.
Tu Shanyong wiped his face in embarrassment and found an excuse to go out first so as not to hinder the young newlyweds.
As soon as Tu Shanyong left, Xiao Niangpi ran in quickly, threw herself into Yang Fan's arms, and wrapped her jade arms around Yang Fan's neck.
"Fool, do you miss me?" A pair of beautiful eyes looked at Yang Fan without blinking.
"I don't think you can remember anything." Yang Fan said with a smile.
"What the hell, you have no conscience?" The little girl raised her eyebrows and immediately put her little hands directly on Yang Fan's waist, which was the familiar part again, ready to grab the tender meat and twist it a few times.
Yang Fan smiled and looked at the melon-shaped face that was so close, and lowered his head. Explanation was just a cover-up, so Yang Fan didn't explain. Instead of taking action, he directly kissed the girl's delicate lips.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" The little girl hummed in a low voice, expressing her dissatisfaction at being attacked by Yang Fan, but soon the delicate body in Yang Fan's arms became hot, and the little hand that was about to twist it a few times returned to his neck.
Xiao Niangpi hugged Yang Fan tightly and responded proactively.
After a long time, the two of them separated out of breath.
"I really want to hold you every day," the little girl said foolishly.
"It's almost time. Next time the matchmaker comes, we will confirm the wedding date."
Yang Fan sat on the chair, hugged Princess Niangpi and put her on his lap. Princess Niangpi's little head rested on Yang Fan's shoulder.
The two of them talked quietly.
"By the way, there are still some wedding matters that we need to discuss in advance. After the application period, my dowry will be sent to you first. Some of my maids and servants will also be sent there.
They need to decorate the new house first and prepare the wedding bed for us on the wedding day."
"Isn't your maid the same Mei Xiang who is so arrogant? The little girl is always in a hurry when doing things and is a bit naturally dull."
The little girl slapped Yang Fan and said, "You are not allowed to talk nonsense. There is nothing stupid about that. That girl is just innocent."
Xiao Niangpi suddenly blushed and said, "Meixiang go over first and warm your bed. It's an advantage for you."
Yang Fan said in surprise: "What, you still do this before getting married."
