chapter one hundred and eighty four.
Lynx, strong in shape.
Climbing mountains and ridges, climbing trees and rock climbing is no problem.
After peeling the skin, it was really full of tendon flesh.
Xing San was very vigorous in cooking. He took a small hand axe and chopped the meat and bones into large pieces and put them in a pot with cold water.
When the water boiled, Xing San picked up a green onion from the bottom of the wooden rack, chopped the skin of the green onion, and did not wash it. He started to break the green onion white, and threw it into the pot with two sections.
The meat was boiled for an hour, but it couldn't even thorn the chopsticks.
It took nearly two or a half points to be considered bad.
Xing San took the lid and took the meat out of the pot, and then washed the meat out of the jar. Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu stepped forward to help. The three of them each took a knife and shaved the meat down from the bones.
As for Xu Changlin, the old man was the most leisurely, sitting cross-legged on the kang and eating round dates.
Round dates are wild kiwis, but they don’t have hair outside and don’t need to peel them when eating.
It’s sweet and sour in the mouth. If you wait until the frost falls after autumn, and then pick it down and eat it, the taste will be even more delicious.
It is not easy for people in mountainous areas. They may not be able to eat an apple all year round. This round date has become the most common fruit for people in the mountains.
Of course, it is impossible to eat fresh ones at this time. Xing San took out these round dates and picked them up from the mountains when winter just came.
The fruit was frozen at that time, and he brought it back and buried it in the snow in front of the house. It was not until today when burying roe deer in the snow that it was inadvertently turned it out.
Xing San took two handfuls into the house and put them in the basin. After adding water to the basin, the round dates became soft and not completely melted. There were ice chips inside, but they were sweet and sour, and very delicious.
After the three of them shaved all the meat. Although they had put a pot in it, the lynxes that were more than fifty kilograms of blood, skinned, and boned, removed their heads, claws, and tails, and blanched them again, only about ten kilograms of meat remained.
Xing San followed what Xu Changlin said, put dried chili in the meat and stir-fry it over high heat.
The meat of wild beasts in the mountains has a little more or less mutton smell, and the same is true for lynxes, but as Xing San stir-fryed, Zhao Jun and others smelled a special meat fragrance.
Xing San lived in the mountains and had no seasonings. He poured some soy sauce, sprinkled salt and put it in a pot.
A large pot of meat was steaming and fragrant, and was brought to the table by Xing San. Li Baoyu quickly brushed the pot, and then Zhao Jun put the sorghum rice into the pot to stew the rice.
This is the preparation for steaming sorghum rice.
"Master, come quickly!" At this time, Xing San called out to the two of them. He and Xu Changlin were already sitting on the kang and eating and drinking.
Zhao Jun went to the kang and stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat from the basin. Because Xu Changlin said that he would stir-fry large pieces, the basin was full of large pieces of meat, each piece was five or six centimeters long.
"Well, it smells good!" Before Zhao Jun could eat, Li Baoyu's praise came from beside him.
Xing San took a sip of wine and smiled and said, "It's the first time I've eaten this thing. Don't say it, the taste is really special."
Since they all said it was delicious, Zhao Jun also took a bite. The meat was really like Xu Changlin said, all of which were garlic cloves, just like the meat on both sides of the back of the fish. However, the fish meat was broken when it was cooked and touched, and the meat was particularly tight.
Zhao Jun chewed it carefully, Xing San put a lot of peppers to suppress most of the smell of mutton, but it could not suppress the slight sourness in the meat.
It was sour and spicy, accompanied by the aroma of meat. Four people gathered in a large pot and ate the meat in big mouthfuls.
After drinking and eating, put out the kerosene lamp and go to bed.
When he woke up the next morning, Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu gathered in front of the mud stove to roast dumplings. Xing San took out a small piece of paper folded into a square from the pocket of a gray cloth clothes hanging on the wall of the kang, and handed it to Zhao Jun and said, "This is that square, look at it."
When Zhao Jun opened it, he saw that there were more than a dozen medicines written neatly, and there were corresponding dosages behind each medicine name.
When Zhao Jun saw the handwriting, he knew that the person who wrote this prescription was not an ordinary person.
He kept the prescription in his heart and returned it to Xing San. Xing San went to the kang and stuffed the notes of paper back into his pocket.
When Xing San got off the kang, he took down the box on the wooden rack, took out a matchbox from it, opened it specifically to take a look, and saw that there was a box of medicine inside, so he handed it to Zhao Jun.
Zhao Jun thanked Xing San, ate roasted dumplings and porridge in the cellar, and then said goodbye to Li Baoyu first.
When they left the cellar, it was just past seven o'clock. Because they didn't take Xu Changlin, the two of them rushed to travel without delaying their time. Before nine o'clock, they had already arrived at Tunkou.
Looking at the four dogs running towards the village, Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu did not go home, but walked directly to the station.
After arriving at the station, the train arrived slowly within three or five minutes.
The two got on the bus, found a corner in the carriage and stayed at the station, got off the bus and went straight to the state-owned store.
It was still the same store, the two long tables, and the two staff members from last time.
But today there were several sluts standing in front of the long table.
An old goatee took out a roll of yellow leaves from a silk bag. The two employees, one checked the numbers, the other kept the accounts and paid.
The old man got the money, put it in his cotton jacket, and walked out with a smile on his face.
As soon as the old man left, a man in his forties stepped forward and took out most of them yellow leaves and some gray leaves.
He took the money and left.
After they left, in front of the long table, except for Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu, there was only a man wearing a blue cloth cotton jacket and a nine-point pocket in his hand.
"Come again?" The male employee behind the long table greeted him, and the two seemed to be very familiar with each other.
The man smiled, took out a small cloth bag from the pocket, poured out two dark bear galls and handed them over.
The male employee took the bear gall and looked at it twice, then handed it to the female employee beside him. The female employee took the bear gall with one hand and took out a small plastic box from the drawer of his desk with the other.
Opening the plastic box, the female employee took out a balance from it and placed it on a long table.
She picked up a bear gall, placed it on one end of the scale, and then began to toss the weights.
When the balance was balanced, she took down the bear gall, pulled a piece of paper from the table behind her, wrote down the weight of the bear gall on the paper, and then placed the bear gall on the paper.
Then, also called another, or do the same.
After weighing the bear gall, the female employee took another piece of paper and performed a multiplication operation on it. After the result was obtained, she said to the owner of the bear gall: "Two bear galls, three thousand one hundred and eight."
"How many?"
"How many?"
Two "how many" sounds, one was said by the owner of the bear gall, and the other was shouted by Li Baoyu, who was watching the fun next to him.
The owner of the bear gallbladder didn't speak loudly, but Li Baoyu's voice was quite loud. Not only that, his voice was also very sudden, which scared the three people.
Seeing that the two salesmen and the owner of the bear gall were looking at him, Li Baoyu was not nervous and asked directly: "What bear gall? It's so expensive? I'm here to sell it, why didn't you give this high price?"
It’s not that Li Baoyu was so angry that when Zhao Youcai came to sell bear gallbladder two years ago, the copper gallbladder was not sold at this price.
And just now, I saw that the male employee and the owner of the bear gall seemed to be acquaintances, which made Li Baoyu think too much.
Li Baoyu was tall and loud, and his voice was loud, which made the two employees confused for a moment.
The owner of Bear Bile was also a little confused, but he was not called out by Li Baoyu, but was a little surprised at the price.
I heard him ask: "When did the Heixiaoqin become so valuable?"
"The price just rose three days ago." The male employee who came back to his senses replied.
The female employee glared at Li Baoyu fiercely before asking the owner of Bear Bile: "These two are three thousand and one hundred and eight, can you sell them?"
"Sell! Sell!" The owner of Bear Bile nodded hurriedly.
When he heard that he was selling, the female employee reached out to take down a bear gall, and took down the paper under it, so she simply packed the bear gall with the paper that remembered the weight of the bear gall.
The same is true for the other one.
The male employee took out four stacks of great unity from the drawer. He first put three of them in front of the bear gall master, and then clicked out eighteen pieces from the other stack.
When the male employee handed the eighteen Zhang Datong to the owner of Bear Bile, he said, "Check it out."
"Hey, hey." The owner of the bear gall took the money and counted it clumsyly, smiling uncontrollably on his face.
It was all his money, and the male employee didn't care what he was looking for, and just asked Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu, "What are you selling?"
Zhao Jun reached out and pulled Li Baoyu. At this time, the boy looked at the man with his eyes fixed on the money. He didn't even hear what the male employee said to him.
After being pulled over by Zhao Jun, Li Baoyu turned around and looked at Zhao Jun, glared at him and asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"
"Take out the skin."
"Oh." Li Baoyu hurriedly took out the roll of lynx skin given by Xu Changlin from his pocket and handed it to the male employee first.
When the male employee saw that the thing was wrapped in cloth, he untied the tied rope and opened the cloth outside, he was stunned.
"Lynx!" After all, they were from the city. The male employee didn't call this tiger cub, but called it lynx.
When he called out lynx, the female employee sitting beside him suddenly got up, came over and reached out to grab it, and said, "Show me."
Not only her, but the man who checked the money on the side did not even check the money at this time. Like Li Baoyu just now, his eyes moved with the lynx skin.
The female employee took the lynx skin rolled into a bucket and spread it on a long table. A lynx skin appeared in front of everyone in a complete and dry and refreshing manner.
Seeing that both employees were looking at the shabby and touching the shabby, Li Baoyu asked, "What's wrong? Will it be charged?"
As soon as Li Baoyu said this, the male employee looked up at Li Baoyu, and did not say anything at first, but soon nodded repeatedly and said, "Cake, collect!"
After saying that, he turned around and took out the tape measure from the drawer, pulled it away from his head with a stinging sound, and measured the lynx skin up and down, left and right in front of the long table.
After the measurement was completed, the male employee took the paper to record the length and width, and then said to Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu: "Little brother, you guys wait a moment, I'll go call."
After saying that, he turned around and walked back, and there was a room inside.
Chapter completed!
