Chapter 165 I can’t hold you to death! (Second update)
Putting the things down in the open space in front of the cellar, Lu Lu got into the cellar. Xiong Dan had to deal with it as soon as possible.
He turned on the stove and poured the hot water from the thermos into the iron pot. After the temperature came up, he took out the bear bile from the hunting bag, dipped it in the pot and boiled it. Then he tied it with a hemp rope and hung it on the iron pot.
The house is dry in the shade.
The corrugated cap and bear's nose were also baked on the heated pipe.
After finishing my busy work, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The overall temperature has risen. Even if there is light rain outside, as long as there is a fire in the cellar, it will become stuffy in a short time.
It's still comfortable outside.
Lu Lu got out of the tunnel and found a wooden pillar to sit down on. After resting for a while, he looked at his damp clothes and simply brought firewood and lit a big fire in the open space.
Even if he himself was like this, Wang Dalong and the others who were cutting wood and building fences on the mountain would have already been soaked. When they came back, they would be drying their clothes by the fire during dinner.
Otherwise, having wet clothes on your body for a whole day would be uncomfortable, and you could easily get sick.
Wang Yan's hands and feet were quick and she quickly cleaned and cut the bear leg meat and started cooking.
"Brothers, take a rest and go back to eat!"
Lu Lu said hello and climbed up towards the ridge on the opposite side.
A villager in Xiushantun said in surprise.
When he spoke, it was Xiushan Tun, as if he had completely regarded Lu Lu as a member of Xiushan Tun.
Without Wang Yan's help, they each went to get the bowls and chopsticks, and started to do it by themselves. Each of them added rice, scooped a big spoonful of bear leg meat on top of the rice, and squatted next to the burning fire to eat.
With relish.
Lu Lu was very grateful to these honest men.
Chen Xiuqing jumped over the river several times, and while she was talking, her eyes were looking at Wang Yan who was standing aside holding rice and eating by the stove fire.
"Brother Lu..."
That is to say, here in Lu Lu, in order to maintain quality and quantity, and in a hurry, they started using it.
The four eyes are paired, each of them flashing to the side.
In order to help Lu Lu build the best wood carvings, Wang Dalong specially invited him here, just to make the work more precise.
After feeding the branches and leaves they brought inside the fence, a group of people arrived in front of the cellar and saw Wang Yan taking the fried bear leg meat out of the pot and pouring it into a shallow basin.
And the Chen Pao he was talking about was Chen Xiuqing's father, Chen Youwang.
"I just finished it yesterday, and I thought I would come over today to look for trouble. Unexpectedly, it rained, so I slept until noon. I thought I had nothing to do for the time being, so I came over to take a look."
Now that Lu Lu came to call for dinner, everyone stopped what they were doing and quickly picked up new branches and leaves from the felled trees, each of them picked up a bundle and carried it back to feed the deer.
As soon as he saw Wang Dalong and others, Lu Lu shouted from a distance.
After saying that, he turned to look at Wang Yan and took two steps towards her: "Old girl, this bowl of chopsticks..."
Lu Lu looked up and found that it was Chen Xiuqing who came. He quickly greeted: "Qingzi, why are you here? Have you finished planting the seedlings?"
Chen Xiuqing looked at the bowl of rice piled more and more, and the more she looked at it, the more something was wrong: "Old girl, I just came here after having a full meal at home. I can't eat that much. Please add less, and I'll just mix it up."
Eat bear leg meat.”
Although chain saws have been introduced in forest farms for logging in the early years, in fact, many people are still more accustomed to using big-belly saws, axes, etc., and not many people can use chain saws well.
"Bear meat...Brother Lu, have you hit a bear again?" Chen Xiuqing asked in surprise.
It's full of oil, water and weight, and smells delicious, making everyone move their index fingers.
Wang Yan was also looking at Chen Xiuqing.
"I'll ask them to come for dinner!"
"It's more than three hundred kilograms. When we get the meat back, everyone will take more to eat when we go back in the evening."
Chen Xiuqing smiled, went to the side and looked at the half-filled bowl of bear leg meat, and swallowed.
This thing is fast, but it consumes fuel, so I can't bear to do it.
"Brother Lu, you even fought bears back this morning. How can you sleep until noon? You are so lazy and you still have the nerve to eat... I can't support you to death!"
"Come over and eat some... there's bear meat today." He greeted with a smile.
Looking at the shocking bowl of rice handed to him, Chen Xiuqing swallowed and slowly took it.
The little girl raised her head and glanced at Chen Xiuqing, then went back to Lu Lu's cellar to get a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and put the rice in the pot one spoon after another.
In the fence where the deer are kept, different people come in and out every day during this period. The three deer have long lost the fear when they first arrived. Except for the doe, they stay as far away as possible. The two fawns have now seen people.
Instead, they will take the initiative to approach, and even dare to bite people's trouser legs and pull them.
"No, from the time I went out in the morning to now, it only took about four hours to get a bear back. It's amazing."
When they came to work in Luludi's cellar, they could eat some game from time to time, but they were all people with families, wives and children at home. After returning home, I saw that they did not eat simple radishes, cabbage and potatoes every day.
I feel ashamed for being such a frivolous young man.
"It's okay, Uncle Zuo, I've gotten used to it over the years."
After hearing what Lu Lu said, all the men gathered around him excitedly and thanked him one after another.
When they heard the shouting, they all stopped what they were doing. Wang Dalong asked with a smile: "Why did you come up and shout in person? Why don't you just let the swallows shout in the meadow below?"
Wang Yan muttered in a low voice, and a large bowl of rice stood up sharply before she shoved it in front of Chen Xiuqing.
Before Lu Lu could say anything more, someone from Xiushan Tun started talking excitedly: "Our Xiushan Tun has never produced any good hunters since the death of Chen Pao and Liu Pao. Now, we finally have another one.
"
"Hey, we hit a bear again. You are so awesome. This is your third time."
Suddenly realizing that it was inappropriate to mention Chen Youwang in front of Chen Xiuqing, he quickly added: "Qingzi, I didn't mean it."
It is a very happy thing to be able to bring some meat back so that the family can have a good meal.
After walking all the way along the ridge, more than ten minutes later, I heard the roar of a chain saw in the distance.
There were shouts from the woods outside the cellar.
"I just went out early and got a bear...how big is it?" Wang Dalong was also excited.
This man's name was Zuo Songling, a carpenter from Xiushantun. He farmed on weekdays and often helped people build some furniture at home. His craftsmanship was very good.
Looking at the wet clothes of several people, Lu Lu smiled and said: "You still come to help me on a rainy day. Everyone is working hard. Shouldn't I call you in person?"
"Why don't you learn hunting from Xiao Lu now? Study hard. Maybe we will have another gunner in our village by then." Zuo Songling encouraged.
Lu Lu noticed this situation and smiled slightly. He had every reason to suspect that Chen Xiuqing came here today just for Wang Yan.
The four Yuanbaoniangs have also become accustomed to the presence of the three deer.
"I shot a blind bear on the mountain today. I will eat bear meat for lunch. After dinner, I will have to ask one or two of you to help carry the meat."
"Yeah!" Chen Xiuqing nodded happily: "I will definitely learn from Brother Lu."
There was only one thought in his mind: What was going on? It felt like there was a grudge.
But after all, it was the first time that the girl I liked gave me food, and I was still a little excited.
However, when he came to the fire with the dinner in hand, the eyes of everyone suddenly gathered around him.
