Today Jin Xiaomei is not at home, and Wang Meilan has lost one of his capable men. At this time, Wang Meilan felt that if she had to set up a banquet, it would be difficult to rely on herself and Yang Yufeng alone. So Wang Meilan made a prompt decision and asked Zhao Jun to call for it.

Zhao Ling and Xu Chunyan are here.

Zhao Jun had no objection to this. The old uncle and Zhang Yuanmin went fishing for shrimps, and they had to come home soon, so they happened to call their aunt and little cousin.

As for Lin Xiangshun, he is just like Zhao Jun's brother. It can be said that these families are not outsiders. It is so lively to eat and drink together!

Therefore, Zhao Jun agreed. At this time, Jie Zhong and Jie Chen, who had finished feeding the jackals next door, were about to climb over the wall and come back.

Xie Zhong put his hands on the wall, pushed himself up, and stuck his right leg up at a 90-degree angle with his body. But before he could move his left leg up, he heard Wang Meilan talking about the work at home.

If you can't do it, let Zhao Jun find someone.

"Auntie!" Hearing this, Xie Zhong hurriedly climbed over the wall and said to Wang Meilan: "If you have any work, tell me and I will do it for you."

Although Xie Zhong was a guest, he had a bold personality and never pretended to be false. Wang Meilan also regarded him as a nephew, so she was not polite, raised her hand and pointed to the pile of firewood outside the courtyard, and said to Xie Zhong: "Put some firewood outside and light a bear."

I've stewed it for a long time, and Xie Chen is happy to eat it."

"Hey." Jie Zhong responded and said with a smile: "When he went back two days ago, didn't my brother get a black blind man? My mother just stewed that palm, and Jie Chen said that my mother could not do what you did.

It’s delicious.”

"Hahaha..." After hearing Xie Zhong praise her delicious cooking, Wang Meilan laughed, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, saying: "Auntie will cook you more delicious food later!"

"Okay!" Xie Zhong agreed with a smile, picked up the bear paw that Yang Yufeng had just removed, and walked quickly outside the courtyard.

Burning the blind man's hair is very strong and unpleasant. There are people and dogs in the courtyard, so why not burn it outside the courtyard?

"Auntie." At this time, Jie Chen also came beside Wang Meilan and said with a smile: "What can I do?"

"You." Wang Meilan looked around, pointed to the open warehouse door and said, "Quick, brother Jun and you, you two, take out the big pot!"

Jie Chen agreed and ran happily to the warehouse. But when he arrived at the door, he saw Zhao Jun walking away with a big pot.

Not to mention how heavy this big iron pot is, the key is that it is big and cannot get out from the door horizontally, so it has to be rolled out like a tire.

Jie Chen followed Zhao Jun and waited for the cauldron to be rolled to the stove. He bent down and picked up the side of the cauldron, and worked hard with Zhao Jun to lift the cauldron and sit on the stove.

"Son!" At this time, Wang Meilan called Zhao Jun. When Zhao Jun came over, she said, "I'll give you Uncle Zhao, Ma Ling and the others some meat."

"Okay." When Zhao Jun thought that he hadn't looked at Ma Ling for three or four days, he immediately nodded and said to Yang Yufeng, who was skinning the black bear: "Sister-in-law, you can shave some meat, both fat and thin.

Want."

Yang Yufeng listened to the conversation between Zhao Jun and his son, then took the skinning knife and measured the bear meat, and then asked Zhao Jun: "Brother, is it okay to cut the fat one so big?"

After getting Zhao Jun's approval, Yang Yufeng cut off two pieces of fat meat, each weighing about eight or nine kilograms, and then cut off two pieces of five or six kilograms from the lean area.

Zhao Jun and his ministers took action and wrapped the meat with thin iron wire, preparing to take it out as gifts.

"Hey." Suddenly, Wang Meilan pulled Zhao Jun and said, "Give Ma Ling another black blind man's palm."

"Okay!" Zhao Jun responded, glanced at the two black bear front paws that had been removed and were still stacked together, and said to Wang Meilan: "Mom, there is one bear paw left, why don't you give it to me, Uncle Zhao.

”

"Take it." Wang Meilan waved her hand and said, "Keep it before it breaks."

Bear meat is not valuable these days, and bear paws are not valuable either. It is said that bear paws have high nutritional value, but there is no basis for it.

But some people have legends that bears hibernate in winter, and when they hibernate they are very hungry, so they will collect some dried fruits and honey in the palms of their forepaws before entering the barn. Then they put their palms together and rub them together to mix the dried fruits and honey.

Rub the nutrients in it into your palms. After the bear enters the tree barn, he will lick his palms when he is hungry.

In this way, a lot of nutritious things are infiltrated into the bear's paw, so the bear's paw is a great tonic.

In fact, this is completely a conjecture, which is neither logical nor realistic.

Not to mention whether the black bear's front paws can do this, the key is that they start sleeping as soon as it snows and enter the barn. There is no such thing as getting up at night. How can they have time to lick the bear's paws?

In terms of taste, bear paws are similar to pig trotters. They are mostly skin and tendons, with less fat and lean meat. The nutritional value is estimated to be similar to that of pig trotters, because the fat is thick and can produce milk when stewed.

As for why bear paws are so famous, it should be because they are part of the Manchu-Han Banquet.

At this time, Wang Meilan bent down, dragging a bear paw with one hand to Zhao Jun, and said to him: "Son, you can't fix it by yourself, can you?"

Zhao Jun took one look at it, then turned to Jie Chen and said, "Jie Chen, you go get the car and we'll drive there."

"Ah?" Wang Meilan was stunned and said, "No need?"

Zhao Jun said: "We sent the things to them first, and when we came back, my aunt and the others took them with them. They all came over in one trip."

"That's okay!" After hearing what Zhao Jun said, Wang Meilan felt very reliable, so she said: "Don't forget there is an old lady."

"I can't forget." Even if Wang Meilan didn't remind her, Zhao Jun couldn't forget the old lady.

In this way, Zhao Jun and his ministers walked out of the courtyard carrying two pieces of meat in one hand and a bear paw in the other.

After leaving the yard, the two of them said hello to Xie Zhong, who was in the burning bear's paw, and then threw all their things in the trunk. Jie Chen drove, and Zhao Jun showed the way. The two came to Zhao Guofeng's house first.

Zhao Guofeng stayed at home today. Before his wife came back from taking Zhao Jinshan to work in the fields, Zhao Jun gave old Mrs. Zhao the bear paws and bear meat. After saying a few common words, Zhao Jun said goodbye and left.

After going out and getting in the car, the car came to Ma Ling's house again. Before Zhao Jun got out of the car, he saw Ma Ling and Wang Cuihua collecting corn in the yard.

Pull these corns back from the field, peel off the corn leaves upside down without tearing them off, and then tie the corn leaves to the pole or rope, hanging the corn upside down to dry.

After drying in the sun, tear off the leaves of the corn and leave the corn sticks to grind the grains, or grind the corn grains, or grind the corn flour.

"Oops!" Wang Cuihua, who was collecting corns, saw a car coming. She slapped Ma Ling on the shoulder, then pointed out and said, "Zhao Jun is here!"

After saying that, the two of them walked towards the entrance of the courtyard to welcome her.

"Auntie!" Zhao Jun greeted Wang Cuihua as soon as he got out of the car: "Are you good with your feet?"

"That's almost it." Wang Cuihua replied with a smile: "Thanks to you for giving me the badger oil treatment."

"That's all." Zhao Jun glanced at the yard and said, "Where are you harvesting the corn? Have you done it?"

"It won't work if I don't do it." Wang Cuihua said: "At noon, the village chief put on the loudspeaker and shouted, indicating that there would be rain and snow tomorrow. I thought about it and took it down to the house to dry."

The lower room that Wang Cuihua mentioned was their barn. Although it would be slower to dry in the barn, it would be raining and snowing, so they couldn't leave it outside.

"Ouch!" Zhao Jun went out for a short run today and didn't listen to the weather forecast. But when Wang Cuihua said it, he knew that his good time was coming soon.

While the two were talking, Jie Chen came over with bear meat in one hand and bear paws in the other, and stood next to Zhao Jun.

Jie Chen first nodded to Ma Ling, then greeted Wang Cuihua with a smile: "Auntie."

"Hey!" Wang Cuihua responded with a smile, then looked at the things Jie Chen took, and asked Zhao Jun: "Why do you take so many things?"

Zhao Jun smiled and said: "Today I went up the mountain to beat up a black blind man and cut some meat for you. Some are thin and some are fat. Let's get some oil or something."

"Oh." Wang Cuihua sighed: "You kid is really thoughtful."

At this point, Wang Cuihua changed her subject and continued: "Jun, we are not outsiders, so I won't be polite to you. As for the meat, we will keep it. And the bear paws, you can take them back, we will

If it doesn’t work well, you can eat it yourself.”

It stands to reason that if someone comes to give a gift, he will take half and return half. But Zhao Jun is her future son-in-law, so Wang Cuihua didn't show any concern and directly said that her family didn't know how to make bear paws, so she just didn't want it and let Zhao Jun do it.

If you give it to others, wouldn’t you also gain a favor?

As for Wang Cuihua saying that she couldn't make bear paws at home, it was last year when Zhao Jun gave Ma Ling a piece of bear meat and a bear paw. After Ma Ling got them back, Wang Cuihua used bear meat oil to make pancakes and the family was very happy.<

/p>

As for the bear paw, Wang Cuihua also stewed it the next day, and called her eldest son and his family back to eat together.

But this braised bear paw dish made the Ma family very disappointed. I don’t know why, but it just didn’t taste right, no matter how many condiments were added.

"Mom!" At this time, Ma Ling called Wang Cuihua in a low voice, then called Zhao Jun and said, "Come, let's go into the house and drink some water."

"Ouch!" Wang Cuihua finally realized what she was doing. She turned aside and said apologetically to Zhao Jun and Xie Chen: "I'm just here to chat. Come in quickly."

"We're not going in, aunt." Zhao Jun reached out and took two pieces of pork belly from Jie Chen, and handed them to Ma Ling separately. After Ma Ling took the meat, Zhao Jun took it from both sides of the bear's paw.

"Come in, come in." At this time, Wang Cuihua kept calling Zhao Jun and his ministers: "What are you busy with? Go up to the room and sit for a while, drink water, and chat for a while."

"Sorry, aunt, we still have something to do at home." Zhao Jun lifted up the bear paw he was holding with both hands and said to Wang Cuihua: "Auntie, you can keep this paw and the black blind man's meat. You are done with it.

Sometimes, you have to put water on it and tighten it several times. Just tightening it on one side won't work. Just tightening it once will make it taste bad."

"Ah!" Wang Cuihua said in surprise: "Is that so? How many times do you have to tighten it?"

"It needs to be tightened four or five times." Zhao Jun explained to the two women: "Heixiazi's body smells like pine oil. If you don't tighten it, it won't taste good!"

"Oops!" Wang Cuihua clapped her hands when she heard this and said, "That's not good. When you say it, I can tell it smells like pine oil."

Speaking of this, Wang Cuihua turned to Ma Ling and asked, "Is it Ling'er?"

"Yeah!" Ma Ling nodded repeatedly.

"Tighten it a few more times." Zhao Jun smiled and handed the bear paw to Wang Cuihua and said, "Madam, do as I say, tighten it to get rid of the bad smell first, then expose it first and then stew it. Then you can do it again.

Eat it and see if it tastes good."

This is true for humans, and so is the beast.
