Lu Lu used a lot of force and hit the badger hard on the back with his hoe.
This guy had a fat body. He let out a scream after being hit, but it didn't seem to have much impact on him and he kept struggling.
A stench filled the air.
Badgers also have odor glands and can release odor, but it is not as strong as yellow skin, but it still forced Lu Lu to take a breath, hold it in, and press down with more force.
Yuan Bao saw the opportunity quickly, jumped down from the trough, opened his mouth and bit the badger.
Lu Lu was already holding him down and couldn't move. Faced with Yuan Bao's fangs, it opened its mouth and howled, twisting and trying to bite back, but in the end it didn't work. Yuan Bao bit his head directly and forcefully
After a few tearings, Lu Lu saw that its hind legs violently scraped the soil a few times. After trembling for a while, it gradually stopped moving.
Done!
Lu Lu picked up the hoe.
Yuan Bao also gradually relaxed his mouth.
Lu Lu took the badgers out and saw that Yuan Bao no longer sniffed in the hole. He knew that he had destroyed this nest of badgers.
Three badgers must weigh about thirty kilograms, which is not a small weight.
However, after peeling it off, it's not a big problem.
In the early years, if you wanted to be literate, you had to go to night school for a while after working every day, and only three or five characters were taught in one night. Although Chinese pinyin became popular as early as 1958,
But few are really used to it, and literacy still relies on rote memorization over and over again under the guidance of the teacher.
It was still early, so she was not in a hurry to cook. She picked up a sickle and cut some branches and leaves on the slope to feed the three deer raised in the fence.
Defective products...just keep them.
"What do you think of Chen Xiuqing?"
Sitting on a nearby hillside, Lu Lu cut open the belly of the badger, took out the water, and distributed it to Yuan Bao and several puppies.
He himself took these things and took out the cellar, lit a fire, added an iron pot, added some water to it, cut the fat into small pieces and put it into the pot to boil in oil.
As for the little badger's meat, except for the fat meat, which was removed, the rest was cut into small pieces by Lu Lu and was going to be kept to feed the four Yuan Baoniangs tomorrow. Don't worry about it today, they ate a lot of waste.
However, we all know the importance of reading and literacy. When educated people speak, they seem to stand straighter and have a lot of enthusiasm for learning.
Now that winter has passed and spring has only started for more than a month, the weight has been greatly reduced.
It is said that badger hind legs are often marinated and eaten as ham abroad, and he plans to try it.
He planned to marinate the leg meat for an hour or two, and then put the salt on the earthen stove to smoke it.
"Yanzi, do you know Chen Xiuqing?"
In front of the cellar, Wang Yan, who was preparing to cook, had just arrived.
The remaining half-sized badger was also skinned by Lu Lu, and its fur was a bit miserable, with holes left by the teeth of the three pups everywhere.
Most animals are cute when they are young. She especially likes the two fawns. When they are brought into the branches and leaves, she squats in them and teases them.
The characters have also been simplified, but after they are written, they are often still a mixture of simplified and traditional Chinese.
"You can cook whatever you want. I ate your cooking yesterday and it was very good!" Lu Lu praised.
Lu Lu threw the three badgers on the grass in front of the cellar, walked to the river, stuck out his butt and drank enough cold water: "Eat badger meat at noon."
"Chen Xiuqing... I know you!" The little girl hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Lu Lu: "When there was no elementary school in Tunli, he and his sister often went to our night school to learn calligraphy."
It's good to know her, so I just want to ask her about her impression of Chen Xiuqing.
There are people of all ages who go to night classes to learn to read. Chen Xiuqing is five or six years older than Wang Yan. It is normal for the two of them to study together in night classes.
The oil from Three Badgers can be sold for at least dozens of dollars.
Things have gotten better in the past few years. At any rate, primary schools have been built in both villages, and people with some literacy have been hired as private teachers to teach the children how to read and write.
Looking for opportunities to go to night school in the evening is something that everyone is very enthusiastic about. If you can learn three or five words, you can show them off.
It took more than half an hour to make the badger oil. After filtering out the oil residue, Lu Lu found two large cans and bottles to put it in. The amount obtained was much less than he expected, and it was estimated to be only fifty or sixty yuan.
’s stuff, plus two pieces of skin that are not too small, cost almost a hundred yuan, which is not bad.
That big radish should have been stored in the cellar before winter. Over time, it has started to get moldy.
"What's the matter? I just found a badger hole by luck. Anyone in the mountains can do this."
The little girl excitedly ran to the basket she brought and took out several large radishes with white hair: "I just happened to bring radishes to make stewed radish with badger meat."
Wang Yan immediately started making a fire to cook, while Lu Lu was skinning three badgers in front of the cellar. The skins of two adult badgers were in good condition except for the teeth holes on their heads that were bitten by Yuan Bao.
, can be sold at a good price.
"I got three badgers at once, Brother Lu, you are so awesome!" The little girl was extremely envious.
Late autumn and early winter are when badgers are at their fattest. Before they enter hibernation, they will accumulate as much fat as possible in autumn. At that time, badgers were said to have nine pounds of oil out of ten pounds, which shows how fat they are.
degree.
The badger's oil is precious, so he didn't forget to peel off the grease adhering to his organs and keep it.
After it's taken care of, it's still fine to use it as a cushion or something.
It is quite difficult to learn some knowledge and culture, especially in such a remote mountain village.
The sun was just right, and there were people cooking. Lu Lu rarely had any free time, so he basked in the sun and watched the little girl busy going back and forth.
This thing, the tanned leather can be used to make high-end leather clothes. The hair is a bit rough, but it is a good material for making paintbrushes and the like.
As for the hind legs of the two badgers, Lu Lu smeared them with salt and put them in a wooden basin to marinate.
Next, Lu Lu trimmed off all the fat from the two badgers, took out two hind legs, and sent the rest to Wang Yan to make badger meat and stew radish.
She was a very cute little girl with very agile hands and feet. Lu Lu suddenly felt that it would be great if Chen Xiuqing could marry such a little daughter-in-law.
Hearing the cry of Yuan Bao in the distance, he hurriedly got out of the fence and tied the door tightly. He turned around and saw Lu Lu coming back carrying something. He immediately greeted him happily and saw Lu Lu bringing it back immediately.
The three badgers had strange colors flashing in their eyes.
After the four Yuanbaoniangs finished eating, he tied up the three badgers with ropes and carried them with a hoe back to the cellar.
The little girl frowned slightly and thought for a while, then shook her head: "I can't tell you. I haven't spoken much. I just know this person. I met him several times when I passed Huilongtun on my way to the district."
I just know each other, so I probably don’t have any special impression.
One of them was talking in his sleep, mumbling people's names.
No matter how he looked at it, Lu Lu thought it was the unrequited love of Chen Xiuqing, a fool.
I'm afraid it's only a day or two for me to miss such a little girl. What a sin!
