Due to time constraints, Lu Lu and Zhao Yongke did not immediately start carrying the Xiongcangzi. They decided to call Chen Xiuqing and Zhang Shaofeng together tomorrow to drive the sledge over and be fully prepared before taking action.
At the very least, it would be faster to skin the bear with more hands. Now that it's been beaten, it can't be dragged back, so it can only be thrown into the snow and frozen all night. It's not easy to skin the bear.
After making up their minds and remembering the location of the big tree, Lu Lu and Zhao Yongke also returned along the river.
By the time we got back to the tent, it was getting dark.
Chen Xiuqing and Zhang Shaofeng had not returned yet. Lu Lu looked at the mountain, somewhat worried, fearing that something might happen to them.
Fortunately, Lu Lu and Zhao Yongke lit a bonfire in front of the tent, set up the iron pot they brought, and were preparing to cook, when the sound of rapid skiing came from the woods.
Not long after, Chen Xiuqing and Zhang Shaofeng arrived one after another.
"How are things going today?"
Seeing that the two of them were fine, Lu Lu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hehe, we have a big harvest today!"
Chen Xiuqing fell to the ground and said while untying the sled on her feet.
After untying the sled, he casually put down the hunting bag he was carrying. As soon as he opened the hunting bag, he lifted it up and dumped it. Good guy, there were three sables, two yellow sables, and a snowshoe hare.
Zhang Shaofeng also poured out the prey from the hunting bag. In addition to two sables and a jumping cat, there were also three flying dragons.
"Haha...it's really good to get so many at once!"
This harvest was indeed incredible, and Lu Lu became excited.
"It feels like there are more sables in this place than in the places we visited before. We went all the way and set up dozens of traps. We found two sable caves on the mountain. We burned chili peppers and smoked them, and we were able to drive them out of the caves in minutes.
Without much fuss, I caught both sables. After the traps were set, I picked them up all the way back. I picked up so many things at once... I will check again tomorrow morning, and I will definitely get a few more.
"
Chen Xiuqing said happily.
Sable caves usually choose tree caves or stone caves, and the caves generally have an entrance and an exit, which can be seen from the footprints. It is very easy to find sable caves and capture them.
Prepare a mink net at the exit and use fire smoke at the entrance to easily drive it from the hole into the mink net.
Chen Xiuqing, the last time I heard that Lu Lu and Liu Hao took out the red fox and badger from the badger cave and used chili pepper to drive out all the badgers hidden deep in the ground, he decided to do this.
I remembered it and brought a lot of chili peppers with me when I went into the mountains this time, ready to put the "pepper bomb" to good use.
This will come in handy.
As for the flying dragon, it should have been found on the snow. Considering their habit of searching for food in the snow at this time and taking off and landing on a branch, they would look back. With Chen Xiuqing's skill in playing with a slingshot, it would not be a big problem to shoot the flying dragon.
"Tomorrow morning, Brother Zhao and I will go with you to check the traps, take back all the hunting equipment, and move them closer to the river. There is lack of food on the mountain, and many small animals, including sables, have mostly moved here.
If you move at lower locations, you have a higher chance of catching them.”
Lu Lu thought about it carefully and felt that there was no need to run to high places to catch minks. It would save more effort to go to lower places.
"good!"
Zhang Shaofeng and Chen Xiuqing nodded.
Afterwards, Chen Xiuqing glanced around, reached out and grabbed the hunting bag that Lu Lu and Zhao Yongke placed at the door of the tent, and while looking through it, asked: "Brother Lu, what did you catch today?"
"We can't compare to you two today!" Lu Lu smiled and said nothing more.
Chen Xiuqing poured out the things, and there were four water dogs, a sable, a few greyhounds and two jumping cats that Lu Lu shot with a slingshot.
"That's quite a lot!" Zhang Shaofeng looked at these things and seemed very satisfied.
"Come and warm yourself by the fire. I'll cook tonight... Climbing up the snow-capped mountains for a day is much more tiring than hunting along the river."
Most people who have skied know that skiing in the snow looks very enjoyable, but in fact it is a standard physical activity. The pressure on the feet is not small. After a long time, the heels are as heavy as lead. If it is more serious,
My legs will tremble and I can't stand.
Seeing the way the two of them fell down as soon as they arrived at the tent, they knew that they were very tired. With their skiing abilities and having laid so many traps, they must have traveled to many places.
Lu Lu moved the wooden pillar and asked the two of them to sit down by the fire to warm themselves up. He said casually: "When I get the hunting equipment back tomorrow, I will take you to hunt blind bears."
"We also found Blind Bear..." Chen Xiuqing became more and more excited.
"I found one, but I don't know how big the blind bear is!" Zhao Yongke nodded and said.
While Lu Lu was cooking, Zhao Yongke was also busy skinning and processing the prey that the two of them had brought back. As for the meat, except for what they were going to eat tonight, everything else was sold in the snow, including the three flying dragons.
, I just took out the internal organs and buried them in the snow. I was going to take this precious game home and try it with my family.
You have harvested a lot of prey, so you should naturally have a nutritious dinner.
After finishing the meal, lighting the wooden pillars in the tent, and feeding the horses with fodder, the four of them got into the tent, spread out the mattresses they brought, and lay down early to rest.
The next morning, several people got up as if they had set alarm clocks, guessing it was around four o'clock in the morning.
It gets dark early and goes to bed early. Calculating the time, it’s about ten hours.
After pulling the fire in front of the tent a few times and adding more firewood, Lu Lu was about to cook the frozen dumplings he had brought when Zhang Shaofeng stopped him: "Eat this today!"
Zhang Shaofeng said, opening the pocket he brought and taking out a stack of pancakes.
When Lu Lu saw it, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Big meat pie!"
Zhao Yongke still behaved badly, and Chen Xiuqing also shouted: "I haven't eaten this for a long time."
Big meat pie, one of Yichun’s special snacks.
It is made by mixing fresh pork with water and seasonings into a stuffing, then wrapping the stuffing in dough and frying both sides.
This is the most delicious thing.
The fried large meatloaf is golden in color, crispy on the outside, and filled with layers of fillings, making it an unforgettable aftertaste.
Lu Lu didn't expect that Zhang Shaofeng had made such preparations before entering the mountain, so he was not polite. He directly set up the iron pot and put the big meatloaf that Zhang Shaofeng took out into the pot to bake.
Little did they know, what Zhang Shaofeng took out of his bag was not just a big meat pie.
"I also brought camellia noodles and pine belly kernels!" Zhang Shaofeng said with a smile.
At this time, not only Lu Lu and Chen Xiuqing, but also Zhao Yongke looked at Zhang Shaofeng with a strange look: "Are you going to the mountains once and are you going to move the kitchen? Bring so much food!"
"Isn't this what I was thinking about, baking sticky bean buns and steamed buns every day in the mountains? They have no taste. Anyway, I have some at home, so I brought them! I asked my wife to make these pine tripe kernels the day before I went to the mountains.
Yes, I killed two New Year pigs, and I couldn’t bear to eat the two pig stomachs. I kept them specially to bring them with me when I go into the mountains.”
Zhang Shaofeng looked at the few people and said: "Let you three hunters take me as a novice to play, I can't make up for it in these aspects!"
"I'm overthinking it again!" Lu Lu glared at him.
"Anyway, it's my whole heart!" Zhang Shaofeng always felt a little shortchanged.
"Who is not a novice and who is born to hunt? Besides, do we people still need to care so much?" Lu Lu said with a wry smile.
"It doesn't matter so much. Since you brought it, I won't be polite." Chen Xiuqing said carelessly: "It's all good stuff. I usually wouldn't bear to eat it, but now I'm in for a treat."
Camellia oleifera noodles, this is a more traditional snack, that is, fried noodles with oil and fried noodles.
People in Yichun often eat it as breakfast. It is mixed with sesame seeds, nuts, preserved fruits and other things. Add boiling water and stir it into a paste. A strong aroma will come out. If you want to eat it sweet, add white sugar, if you want to eat it salty, add sugar.
Just add salt, it's simple and convenient, and it tastes pretty good.
As for pine tripe kernels, that’s even more particular.
This is fried with pork belly and pine nuts, eggs, broad beans, soy sauce and salt.
The prepared pine tripe kernels are delicious, fragrant and delicious. It is a very delicious snack and will be quite famous in later generations.
Two New Year pigs were killed, and only two pig stomachs were left. They were all made into pine belly kernels and brought to the mountains. Even the family was reluctant to eat them.
"The camellia noodles will be made for breakfast another day, and the pine tripe kernels will be saved for dinner. This morning, we will eat big meat cakes. First we will empty out what Brother Feng brought, and then we will eat the frozen dumplings and pancakes rolled with green onions that I brought."
Lu Lu said with a smile.
As soon as he spoke, the three of them all looked over in unison.
Not only Zhang Shaofeng brought prepared food, but Lu Lu also brought it.
What was even more unexpected was that Chen Xiuqing also scratched his head and smiled: "When you finish eating, eat the meat I brought and burn it!"
Zhao Yongke said casually: "I also brought some fried quails... When I went to the district that day, I saw someone selling them. After eating them, I thought they tasted good, so I bought some more."
This time, not only one person brought something, but several people brought extra things without saying hello.
Moreover, they are all delicious food...
After several people looked at each other, they burst into laughter.
Although he laughed, Lu Lu was also inexplicably moved.
It may not seem like a big deal, but several people are consciously thinking about others, and a cohesive force has quietly become solidified.
What a rare feeling!
Lu Lu thought for a moment, and suddenly felt that his rebirth should not just be for Chen Xiuyu, but he should also use the advantages he had to do more for the village.
Although there are many people in Xiushantun who are disgusting, there are more people who are so simple and endearing.
To a large extent, it's for them, but not for yourself.
The big meatloaf in the iron pot was roasting fragrantly. When the four of them each took a piece and ate it, Lu Lu, who made a decision secretly, said to Zhang Shaofeng while eating: "Brother Feng, it's already the end of February in the blink of an eye.
, March soon passed, entered April, and it was the beginning of spring again. Time flies so fast, I have been in Xiushantun for almost a year... When I go back this time, I want you to do a favor! "
"What's the matter? Tell me!" Zhang Shaofeng looked up at Lu Lu.
Lu Lu's words were serious and full of emotion. He instinctively felt that what Lu Lu wanted to say was very important!
"Set a time and help summon those militia brothers in the village who are motivated, enterprising and good-character to come to my meadow for a meeting. I would like to ask for your help to lead everyone to do something and make money together! This matter
Son, I mentioned it to you before!"
When Lu Lu said this, he was thinking that it would be time to find the director of Xiangshui Creek Forestry Farm soon!
