Chapter 365 Red Deer
There is no official in Manchuria and Song Dynasty who would personally go to the countryside like Su You and face the people's appeal directly.
This skill is called speech. The common people of the Song Dynasty had never seen this before. They immediately thought that Xiao Zhizhou was full of affability and charming personality, but his ability was not yet clear. Well, for the time being, he was given a perfect rating.
As a result, the atmosphere in the courtyard became lively, and people kept asking about what to do next.
Su You's careful explanation of the court's policy was actually his own plan, and then he gave Old Man Feng advice. Dredging the old canal again would definitely be a great achievement and would require a lot of manpower.
He has a fate with Old Man Feng, and Feishui does not want to leave the land to outsiders. If Old Man Feng is willing to organize the young people from the Four Miles and Eight Townships and improve the canal head, he will go to the capital transfer envoy for the villagers from the Four Miles and Eight Townships.
In order to take credit, I will reduce or reduce the rent for a few years for everyone.
Old man Feng was so happy that he took out the few eggs he had at home and planned to make a table for Zhizhou.
Seeing that the weather was okay, Su You stopped Old Man Feng and said to Shi Wei, "Weier, how about we go for a walk at the foot of the mountain?"
Liupan Mountain was a protected area in later generations, and now it is even more lush with trees and numerous wild animals.
It's still cold in the mountains now, and most of the wild animals are active in warmer places in the forest valleys below the mountains.
The two rode horses and came to a valley. Su You took out a telescope and looked at it. He saw a lot of turf and feces on the gentle slope of the stream in the distance, so he said to Shi Wei: "There is something big.
In the evening, I will probably come to the stream to drink water."
Shi Wei probably followed Yuan Degong to harm the wild animals in Qingcheng Mountain. When she saw this, she nodded: "There is a beast trail in the forest on the ridge. It is quite big. Let's get closer from downwind?"
The two of them sneaked to a bush by the stream and squatted down. Shi Wei took out the revolver and pushed the safety button.
Su You explained in a low voice: "It's similar to the use of the crane-shin crossbow. The three-point and one-line aiming method, and the recoil is extremely strong. You should pay attention to your wrists..."
Shi Wei whispered: "Stop talking, you will scare away the prey!"
Su You: "..."
The sky was getting dark, and six or seven wild beasts emerged from the forest on the ridge. They were a group of large deer.
Su You only knew sika deer and elk, while the younger one only knew muntjac, musk deer, and deer deer.
This knowledge was no longer enough in the Song Dynasty. There were tigers even in Meishan Mountain, and there were so many kinds of wild animals that he didn't know what they were.
The body of the male deer is tall and strong, with a dark brown back and a yellow-white belly. The body color of the female deer is lighter than that of the male, and is slightly reddish.
The deer's ears are large and straight, and there is a dark brown vertical stripe on the neck that runs along the midline of the back to the tail.
The male deer has new antler on its head, which is thicker than that of the sika deer.
The weather was still very cold, but this group of deer seemed to particularly like the water. In addition to grazing by the stream, they were also playing and fighting in the stream, completely unaware of the presence of Su You and Shi Wei.
The big deer were getting closer and closer, and Su You could already clearly see the tear glands under the big deer's eyes.
Shi Wei moved. There was no aiming process at all. She raised her hand just above her waist and pulled the trigger.
"Pa!" After a crisp gunshot, the birds in the forest flew up, the big deer fled in all directions, and one fell down in the stream.
"Fuck it!" Su You was dumbfounded: "Weier, you can do it."
Shi Wei praised: "What a great instrument! It's similar to a hand crossbow, but it's much smaller and more powerful. Brother Xiaoyou, you're right, this one is a bit jarring!"
A bit shaken? There are many people who are using pistols for the first time. They can’t control the recoil, so they can be hit with a black nose and a swollen face, okay?!
After picking out his buzzing ears, Su You said: "Weier, what are you talking about... hand crossbow, give it to me to play with anytime."
Shi Wei was a little strange: "If you have a handgun, why do you still play with a hand crossbow?"
"Hehehe..." Su You decided not to answer this question. I will tell you that my brother is powerless?
He stood up and changed the subject: "This deer is big enough, weighing three to four hundred pounds! Do you know Weier?"
"It's the big deer." Shi Wei was still looking through the gun, like a child who got a novel toy, he opened the bullet chamber, took out the fired shell, and wanted to throw it away.
Su You quickly stopped: "Hey, my aunt, I can't throw this away, I have to take it back and reinstall it!"
He carefully put away the cartridge case: "Do you know how much effort Brother Xiaoqi and I put in to get this?"
Shi Wei smiled and stroked the gun body: "Thank you, Brother Xiaoyou, you are the best to me."
"Haha..." Su You giggled. In fact, I also wanted to add some life-saving capital to myself...
The sound of horse hooves came from outside the valley, followed by Zhang Qi's voice: "Young Master, Young Mistress, where are you?!"
Su You quickly shouted loudly: "Here, come along the stream."
After a while, old man Feng and Zhang Qi were seen running towards them. When he turned around, he saw that the revolver in Shi Wei's hand was gone. She was pressing her hands on her bag, looking like a good girl.
Zhang Qi swung his saddle and dismounted: "What happened to you?"
Su You said: "Nothing, I hunted a deer, how did you find it?"
Zhang Qi said: "It was Quan Maochi who ran into the village and brought us here."
"I'll go." Su You was shocked: "No wonder Qidi said that Quan Maochi was a good horse that was raised to waste. After being trained by him, it turned out to be so spiritual!"
Zhang Qi laughed so loudly: "It's a pity that he is too heavy to beg for the title, and he is not naturally compatible with horses, so he cannot be a good cavalryman!"
Old man Feng rolled up his trouser legs with a rope and went into the water: "Big red deer! It weighs more than three hundred kilograms!"
He tied a rope to the deer and dragged it to the shore. Old man Feng looked back and forth and found a round hole between the deer's eyebrows: "This is an injury caused by a crossbow. I don't see any small officials carrying equipment."
Su You was using tree sticks to tie up the stretcher: "If you don't ask, this deer will be yours."
Old man Feng waved his hands repeatedly: "I can't do it, I can't do it, how can this be done?"
After saying that, he scanned the surrounding mountains and forests: "The officials are setting up secret sentries, right? I just said that such a high official shouldn't have no one to protect him."
Su You let him interpret it on his own, and everyone worked together to tie the big deer to a stretcher and hang it behind the horse's butt.
Zhang Qi hit the horse and said, "Master, the deer is too heavy for the horse to drag."
Old man Feng shortened the rope behind the horse's buttocks and tilted the front ends of the stretcher: "Try again!"
Zhang Qi hit the horse again: "It's done!"
Su You rolled his eyes: "Forgot the relationship between the friction force and the contact area of an object? Go back and copy the theorem a hundred times."
After speaking, he smiled and handed over to Old Man Feng: "Feng Lizheng is great, he understands this."
Old man Feng was dumbfounded: "What's the point? This old man knows that red deer meat is good and the skin is good, but the most valuable..."
After speaking, he patted the red deer's antlers: "This pair of spring antler weighs six pounds! What a good thing..."
Shi Wei nodded: "It is indeed a good thing to strengthen the kidney yang, replenish the essence, strengthen the muscles and bones, and regulate the energy and energy."
"Really?" Su You smiled and said, "Then these pair of antlers belong to me, and the skin and flesh belong to Feng Lizheng."
Shi Wei whispered: "You don't need it..."
Su You turned around: "Weier, what did you say?"
Shi Wei smiled and said: "Brother Xiaoyou spends a lot of time thinking every day. Deer heart is a good medicine for heart and blood deficiency, panic, insomnia, and memory loss. It can be used as a supplement."
When a few people dragged the big deer back to Longshou Village, the Feng family yard became lively.
The deer liver and heart are good things to disembowel, and you also need to skin the deer and remove the sinews, which is a lot of work.
Su You looked at it with great interest. This thing was really full of treasures.
The young man from the Feng family cut off the horns and sent them over: "Thank you for your generosity, official. This is the horn you want."
Shi Wei reached out and took it: "This needs to be processed quickly. Do you have a large set of cylinders at home?"
The female members of the Feng family were cutting meat. After hearing this, they quickly went into the house and brought out a jar: "I have bran in the house. Madam, do you think it's suitable?"
Shi Wei said: "This is just right!"
Wash the deer antlers clean, fix them on a rack, and then put them into a large vat of boiling water to blanch the antler.
The section of the velvet emerged from the water, and soon blood foam appeared on the section.
Take it out and wipe off the blood foam, then put it back again. Repeatedly, the color of the cross section of the deer antler gradually becomes lighter.
