He used a hunting knife to cut off a bear's paw, and cut off twenty or thirty kilograms of fat from the blind bear's body. Lu Lu found a bag and put it in it, then took Zhui Feng out of the stable and walked toward the fence gate.
"Brother Lu, it's almost time to eat, what are you doing?"
When Chen Xiuyu came out to collect firewood, she saw Lu Lu holding the horse and preparing to leave, and she quickly asked.
"I'm going to find Brother Feng and ask him to come over and teach me how to ski. I'll also send some bear meat to my mother-in-law's family."
Lu Lu responded: "I'll be back soon!"
After leaving the fence gate, Lu Lu got on his horse and rode towards Xiushan Tun.
Chai Feng's hooves were flying, snowflakes were flying as he ran, and he passed all the way, and in just a few minutes, he arrived at the entrance of Xiushan Tuntun.
This snow can be regarded as the real heavy snow this year. It fell two days ago, so it is nothing.
Even if the weather is very cold, it cannot stop children from loving snow.
They can have a lot of fun by leaving a footprint in the snow, plopping a human figure on the snow, making a snowball and hitting a snow pole, and even peeing on the snow while swinging a chicken.
Zhang Shaofeng's twin sons are doing this.
When Lu Lu led his horse and passed by, the two brothers were standing on the side of the road, making a snow puddle bigger than the melted snow pit made by the urine of the other.
Calculating the days carefully, today seems to be Sunday. There are many children playing on the road and they are very noisy.
Children at this time are not so particular. If they need to urinate urgently, even if there is a girl standing next to them, they will just take it out and release the water.
Seeing Lu Lu coming over, the two little boys, whose faces were flushed with cold, forgot about the competition. They turned around and shouted at Lu Lu with a smile: "Uncle Lu!"
Lu Lu went over, looked at the two of them by their ears, and asked casually: "Is your dad at home?"
"At home!" the twins responded in unison: "Roasting corn at home!"
Lu Lu nodded and warned: "Go back early after playing for a while, don't get cold."
"I know, Uncle Lu!" After the two little guys said this, they grabbed the snow, shaped it into snowballs, and ran towards the other little friends.
Lu Lu glanced at the noisy children, shook his head with a smile, and led Zhui Feng straight towards Zhang Shaofeng's house.
When they arrived outside the courtyard, Lu Lu shouted into the room: "Brother Feng, Brother Feng..."
Zhang Shaofeng quickly opened the door of the house and ran out to open the door: "Come in!"
Lu Lu did not follow him into the house, but first handed the bear paw he brought to Zhang Shaofeng: "This is the blind bear I beat yesterday. I'm bringing you a bear paw."
"If you keep doing this, I won't be able to keep my family training!" Zhang Shaofeng glared at Lu Lu, but did not reach out to pick it up.
"It's not for nothing, I have something to ask you for!"
"What's going on? Let's talk about it first!"
"It's snowing here. You have to go hunting in the mountains in winter, and you need to use a wooden horse. I heard from Qingzi that you are very good at skiing. I want you to teach me how to ski!"
"Qingzi skis better than me, just ask him!"
Hearing what Zhang Shaofeng said, Lu Lu was now sure that Chen Xiuqing's skiing skills were not bragging.
"That's different. I heard Qingzi say that you know the skills of shooting while skiing. In addition to learning skiing, I also want to learn this. This is not something Qingzi can teach me. Just in time, you can adapt to it and wait.
In a few days, when the snow falls thicker, you can go hunting in the mountains. Don’t you want to go with us?"
"This kid really tells you everything!"
Zhang Shaofeng smiled slightly: "Okay, I'll go there after I have eaten."
"Come to my place to eat. After eating, we will go directly to the outer mountains to practice. Xiuyu is almost done..."
Lu Lu said and handed the bear paw to Zhang Shaofeng again: "Take it, I'll send some bear oil to my godmother. I'll be back soon. Let's go when we get back... By the way, do you have a wooden horse?"
This time, Zhang Shaofeng did not refuse. After taking the bear's paw, he said: "There must be this thing. Go quickly. I'll wait for you on the road."
He himself also wanted to earn some money from hunting to help support his family. In order to make it easier to obtain prey, it was understandable to teach Lu Lu the skills. If Lu Lu didn't want anything, it would make him a little entangled. Now, he took the bear's paw and stuck to it.
The idea is considered to be clear, and it is not for nothing.
After Lu Lu led the horse away, Zhang Shaofeng immediately returned to the house and quickly took out a well-maintained wooden horse and ski poles from the house.
This is a two-legged wooden horse whose style is not much different from that of later generations. It is also covered with animal skins.
However, the wooden horse made by Lu Lu was made of yellow-haired wild boar skin, while the one Zhang Shaofeng used was deer skin.
"Why did you dig out this old antique again?" asked Wu Yuejia, who was sitting on the big kang and rubbing corn in the dustpan.
"This winter, I'm going to go hunting with Lu Lu, and I'll teach him how to ski in the next few days."
Zhang Shaofeng then pulled out a dog-skin hat and strapped it on: "Our family can't be like this anymore, we still have to live a better life!"
Hearing this, Wu Yuejia was stunned for a moment, with a slight smile on her face: "You don't abide by your family rules?"
"Family rules must be abided by, and the hardship and simplicity that should be there must still be present... It doesn't matter if I make money with my hands!" Zhang Shaofeng said with a smile.
No matter what, it is always right to live a better life. Of course Wu Yuejia would not object to it.
When Lu Lu led Zhui Feng to the door of Aunt Duan's house, Aunt Duan was stuffing dry pine needles from the basket into the chicken coop.
In Xiushan Village, Lu Lu had never seen anyone raise chickens as much as Mrs. Duan. This was because she was afraid that the stupid chickens she raised would be frozen.
"Godmother..." Lu Lu called to her when he arrived outside the hospital.
Aunt Duan turned around and saw Lu Lu, and she immediately laughed: "Godson... come in quickly!" She quickly came over and opened the door.
Lu Lu entered the yard and handed her the bear meat and bear oil in the bag: "Yesterday I went up to the mountain and shot a blind bear. I'll bring you some bear meat, and some fat meat, and burn it into oil and keep it for eating."
Needless to say, bear paws and bear meat, bear oil is also a good thing. It is better than any other oil for cooking. Even in winter, if the cakes baked with bear oil are thrown on the snow at minus 30 or 40 degrees, then
The cake will not be hard at all.
Moreover, bear oil itself is a very good medicine. It has good effects in treating rheumatism. It can also be used to treat burns and other things.
"Look at you and Xiuyu, you send things here every once in a while, how embarrassing are you!"
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I should be filial to you."
Whether it was about Yuan Bao or when she got married, Aunt Duan slaughtered all the chickens at home and gave them to Lu Lu to cook. In addition, she was a member of the military. Whether it was in terms of love or friendship, Lu Lu felt that
This is what you should do.
Without waiting for Aunt Duan to say anything more, Lu Lu put the bag directly into her hand and said with a smile: "I won't stay any longer today. I have an appointment with Brother Feng and I have some things to do. I will come see you another day. Godmother, I'm free.
If you want, come and sit at my house, Xiuyu is always at home."
Hearing Lu Lu say that she had something to do, Aunt Duan nodded with a smile and didn't hold back too much: "I'll go see Xiuyu another day!"
"Okay, then I'm leaving!"
Lu Lu smiled and nodded, took Zhui Feng and walked back.
Zhang Shaofeng had already changed into a pair of jingle shoes, and even the wooden horse had been tied around his feet. He also had leggings on his legs, and was standing on the roadside waiting for Lu Lu.
Several children looked at Zhang Shaofeng's outfit curiously and gathered around, especially his two twins. Seeing that Zhang Shaofeng was going skiing, they followed suit and pestered Zhang Shaofeng to teach them.
Zhang Shaofeng, who had a headache from being pestered, could only glare and chase the two troublemakers who were already wet all over their bodies to go home.
When he saw Lu Lu coming back, he immediately followed him, holding his snow pole with both hands, and followed Lu Lu step by step towards the entrance of the village.
When he arrived at the village, he said provocatively: "Bibi, let's see who gets there first!"
Lu Lu smiled: "You can't beat me at this time!"
"You will know after a comparison!" Zhang Shaofeng was full of confidence.
Lu Lu got on his horse and said, "Let you go first! See how I overtake you!"
Zhang Shaofeng curled his lips, held up his ski poles with both hands, and began to slide along the snow on the road. The path along the way was mostly downhill, which was why he was confident.
When Zhang Shaofeng started sliding, Lu Lu clamped his legs on the horse's belly and started running on Zhui Feng.
Then, Zhang Shaofeng soon discovered that Zhui Feng was running so fast that he was left far behind in just a few seconds. Within a short time, Lu Lu disappeared.
Even if he kept pushing his ski poles on the ground and sliding as fast as possible, nothing changed.
When he arrived at Lu Lu's house, Lu Lu had already tied up Zhui Feng and fed Green Onion and Zhui Feng with fodder.
Lu Lu smiled and looked at Zhang Shaofeng who came in from the courtyard wearing a wooden horse: "How are you, Brother Feng?"
"I'm asking for trouble, the snow is still too thin." Zhang Shaofeng also wanted to understand the reason.
Although most of the way here is downhill, the slope is gentle, and the snow layer of more than 20 centimeters does not pose much hindrance to Chai Feng. Chai Feng runs at full speed, reaching a speed of nearly a kilometer a minute, which is not covered.
.
The key is that when the ski poles are poked into the snow, they are directly poked into the mud. Instead, they often bring up some yellow mud and stick to it.
If you want to really win the competition, I'm afraid the snow will have to reach Zhui Feng's knees.
Lu Lu smiled and nodded: "It is true that the snow is too thin. If it were thicker, it would be difficult for the horses to run. At that time, the wooden horses would have the advantage."
The snow layer has become thicker, which is a big challenge for most heavier animals in terms of movement.
When the snow in Xiaoxing'anling becomes thicker in a few days, it is very common to step on it and it will reach your crotch. That will be a good time for skiing.
Most of the rocks, branches, and some smaller shrubs among the trees in the mountains are covered with snow, making the forest feel emptier than ever before.
At this time, there is indeed still a lot to be desired.
But for Lu Lu, just learning to ski is enough.
Chen Xiu had already skinned the bear and cut the bear meat early in the morning. She was helping to cut the bear meat for frying in the kitchen. Such a big bear can boil a large pot of oil. This winter, there is no need to worry about lack of oil.
problem.
Throughout the winter, we still have to fight.
When Chen Xiuyu saw Zhang Shaofeng arriving, she hurriedly brought the food that was warm on the stove to the Kang table.
While eating, Chen Xiuyu put the bear fat that Chen Xiuqing had cut into a large iron pot and simmered the oil.
After the four of them had finished eating and rested for almost half an hour, Lu Lu got up, put on his jingle shoes stuffed with straw velvet, and put on his leggings.
When Zhang Shaofeng and Chen Xiuqing thought they were about to set off into the mountains, Lu Lu brought half a large bowl of boiled bear oil to each of them: "Drink this oil before setting off!"
Hearing this, Zhang Shaofeng and Chen Xiuqing's eyes suddenly widened.
"Drink bear oil? Why is this?" Zhang Shaofeng looked at the bear oil and his throat felt itchy.
Lu Lu smiled: "You will know after you drink it!"
As he spoke, he also brought himself more than half a bowl, which was more than what Zhang Shaofeng and Chen Xiuqing had.
Not long after waiting, the hot bear oil in the bowl quickly cooled down and became lukewarm.
Lu Lu picked up the bowl and drank most of the bowl of bear oil in front of the two of them, leaving the two of them stunned.
