Why do the older generations of mountain runners repeatedly tell their younger generations that hunting in the mountains requires harmony between people and horses?
It is precisely to wait until the most dangerous time that companions can help each other and save their lives in danger.
If you don't save him this time, no one will save you next time.
Counting Zhao Jun, the Zhao family has been hunters for three generations. How could Zhao Youcai not understand this?
He became anxious upon hearing this.
If you beat your son in normal times, you are beating your son. But if someone wants to trick Zhao Jun, how can Zhao Youcai be willing to comply?
Fortunately, Wang Meilan intervened and dragged Zhao Youcai back.
"That's unreasonable!" Li Baoyu on the side turned around and exploded in an instant, shouting: "If you dare to harm my brother, we will fight with them!"
"Please calm down!" Jin Xiaoqiao went up and slapped Li Baoyu out of his anger, "If you don't take matters into your own hands, you still stir up trouble!"
Li Baoyu shrunk his neck and stood aside, not daring to speak anymore, but he held a grudge and thought that he would make the Li brothers look good if he had the opportunity in the future.
After talking about Li Baoyu, Jin Xiaoqiao said to Wang Meilan: "Sister-in-law, the Li brothers are really shameful. Let's go find him."
Wang Meilan sighed and said: "In 1974, Zhao Jun went fishing in Shuigouzi and was bitten by a snake. Minister Li and his eldest sister rescued him."
"Is there such a thing?" Zhao Jun asked in surprise when he heard this.
"How can you remember that?" Wang Meilan said angrily, and then said to Jin Xiaoqiao: "Then Minister Li, Li Erchen has no father or mother, and he hasn't even mentioned a wife yet, let's..."
Speaking of this, Wang Meilan looked at Zhao Jun, sighed again, and said: "Zhao Jun is fine, forget it, our family won't owe them any favors from now on."
After hearing what Wang Meilan said, Zhao Youcai sat down on the edge of the kang, picked up the teapot, poured a sip of water into his mouth, and dropped the teapot heavily on the table.
That night, Wang Meilan said she wanted to calm down Zhao Jun, so she cooked four dishes and the family of five had a hearty meal. Zhao Hong took Zhao Na to play while Wang Meilan tidied up in the outer room.
Zhao Jun was sitting at the Kang table, accompanying Zhao Youcai who was drinking.
Zhao Youcai seemed to be a little drunk, so he picked up the few peanuts left on the plate with his chopsticks.
The remaining peanuts have no skins and have a smooth surface. People who have drunk too much have trouble picking them up with chopsticks.
Zhao Youcai pinched it a few times, then simply put down his chopsticks, picked up the peanut kernels and stuffed them into his mouth.
Before this plug was inserted, Zhao Youcai subconsciously pursed his lips, clamped the peanuts between his lips, and took another sip before entering his mouth.
Zhao Youcai took another sip of wine, put down the glass and suddenly spoke loudly to Zhao Jun: "Remember, don't fight with people you don't know well in the future!"
"Hey, hey." Zhao Jun agreed hastily, but he didn't dare to talk back at this time, otherwise it would not be as simple as a beating.
Zhao Youcai ate and drank two more mouthfuls, tilted his head and asked Zhao Jun with drunken eyes full of doubts: "You don't even know that Li Dalian saved you, why did you think of helping them?"
Li Dalian is the sister of the Li brothers, who Wang Meilan said was the one who saved Zhao Jun twelve years ago.
You definitely can't talk to Zhao Youcai about your rebirth. Even your own father can't do this kind of thing.
Zhao Jun just smiled faintly and replied: "I wanted to see the excitement. Seeing that Li Erchen was about to be bitten, I went up as soon as my head got hot."
"Alas!" Zhao Youcai sighed quietly, stretched out his chopsticks and tapped Zhao Jun's forehead. Because he drank too much, the tip of the chopsticks slipped down and almost hit Zhao Jun's eyes.
Zhao Jun hurriedly hid behind him and advised: "Dad, please drink less."
Zhao Youcai ignored him and took another sip before saying, "Son, you are risking your life!"
Hearing Zhao Youcai's words, Zhao Jun couldn't help but remain silent.
Yes, I really saved my life today! If the ax hadn't blinded the black bear, how could I have sat at home and had dinner? It would have been just as good as a black bear's dinner.
"Roll a cigarette for dad." Zhao Youcai suddenly ordered, interrupting Zhao Jun's thoughts.
Zhao Jun responded, half-turned around and reached back to take out a small basket and put it on his crossed legs.
The small basket contained broken tobacco leaves, and a stack of calendar paper from last year was placed beside it. Zhao Jun picked up a piece of calendar paper, skillfully picked up a handful of broken tobacco leaves and twisted them on the paper.
Then, roll the paper and wrap the broken tobacco leaves, which becomes a cigarette. Only the middle part has tobacco leaves, not the two ends.
Zhao Jun twisted both ends with both hands, and then he twisted both ends and stuffed one end into his mouth. Then he took out a box of matches from the small basket containing the tobacco leaves, took out one and lit the other end of the cigarette.
Zhao Jun took a deep breath before handing it to Zhao Youcai. He had been thinking about this for a long time, but after his rebirth, his character was not to smoke or drink, so he kept pretending.
Zhao Youcai might have really drunk too much. He didn't notice the clues, so he took the cigarette and stuffed it into his mouth.
Zhao Youcai was smoking, Zhao Jun was thinking about something, and the two men sat around the Kang table, silent for a long time.
After a while, Zhao Jun suddenly spoke and asked Zhao Youcai: "Dad, you said there are some things that should be done? Or should not be done?"
Zhao Youcai said: "Do what you should do, and don't do what you shouldn't do."
Zhao Jun nodded and thought: "This is nonsense."
There was nothing to discuss with the drinkers, so Zhao Jun changed the subject and asked: "Dad, look at me, I'm so nervous, can you get me a gun?"
Zhao Youcai: "This shouldn't be done."
Zhao Jun:......
Zhao Jun suddenly felt as if he had shot himself in the foot. His two problems were obviously not close to each other, but he did not expect that Zhao Youcai would use them to contradict him.
"You don't need a semi-automatic, just hang up the pipe!" Zhao Jun continued to ask, hoping that his father would be merciful to him for surviving the disaster today.
Zhao Youcai shook his head and said, "Those two bear gallbladders are not all yours. There is also half a precious jade."
"Ah, that one and a half is enough." Zhao Jun said: "This is a copper bladder today. Even if I buy a semi-automatic, I still have three and two hundred left."
Zhao Youcai still shook his head, then raised his chin and pointed toward the door, saying, "Tell your mother, if your mother buys it for you, you can buy it."
"Drink it yourself." Upon hearing this, Zhao Jun knew there was no hope, so he turned his legs on the kang, got off the kang, put on his shoes, and returned to his house.
…
It's the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye.
On this day, Zhao Jun got up at six o'clock in the morning, took a hasty bite of rice, and began to prepare to go up the mountain.
After he was fully dressed, he took out a newspaper from the kang cabinet, went to the outhouse, took out large pancakes from the big pot and wrapped them in the newspaper.
Before he could finish wrapping, the door to his home was pushed open from the outside.
"Brother, stop pretending, I'm bringing you some dry food." Li Baoyu held a basin with one hand and covered the lid with the other, then kicked the door shut.
"Oh, this is good!"
Sticky dry food is the sticky bean bun from Northeast China.
There are two types of sticky bean buns: yellow and white. The yellow ones are made from rhubarb rice. Some people also like to add corn flour into them, but they are all yellow anyway.
The white sticky bean buns are made of glutinous rice.
The fillings are all red bean fillings. If there are red bean, use red bean, and if there is no red bean, use red soybean.
Wash the beans and put them in a pot with water to mash them. When they are cool, shape them into small balls and then freeze them outside.
Even though people in the mountains don’t have refrigerators these days, this is the Northeast, and in winter there are all refrigerators outside.
Once the bean paste jelly is set, you have to start preparing the rice.
Northeastern people love rhubarb rice very much. They wash the rhubarb rice, soak it in water overnight, drain the water the next day, put it into a bag, and carry it to the mill to grind it into flour.
When you get it home, put it in a large basin and scald it with boiling water to knead the dough. Then put the basin on the kang and press a quilt on the basin to allow the yellow rice noodles to ferment naturally.
When making this, you must add less water to the dough, so that the dough will be particularly hard when it rises, and when it is steamed, the sticky bean buns will stand upright.
The last thing is to pull off a piece of noodles and put the frozen bean paste inside.
People in the Northeast love this dish. Every household with a small family has to make ten kilograms of noodles. After making hundreds of bean buns, put them outside, wait for them to freeze, then put them into a vat, and then eat them and steam them.
Of course, there are also ways to steam them all together and then freeze them for storage.
For a hunter, there is nothing better than sticky bean buns, because this food will keep you hungry.
An average man can feel full after four or five years of age.
The key is that this thing is small and doesn't take up much space.
If you have sticky bean buns, you don’t need big pancakes.
Zhao Jun put the big pancake back into the pot, wrapped ten sticky bean buns, and put the two large pieces of radish and pickles that he had prepared.
"Let's go!" As Zhao Jun said, Li Baoyu left the house first, climbed over the wall into his yard, and walked out with the big yellow dog.
Zhao Jun went out of the house, untied the flower dog and green dog, and took them away from home.
