Chapter 161 Midnight Terror
Kazakh herdsmen don’t eat mushrooms very much at this time, so the boys were curious about Li Long’s actions, but basically they just helped and didn’t care.
But when Li Long put salt into the mushroom soup and the aroma of the mushrooms wafted out, more young men gathered around.
In the eyes of ordinary people, it seems that herdsmen can eat meat every day, and the food broadcasters in the pastoral areas in the previous life also conveyed this meaning.
But in fact, it was only after Li Long and Harimu got in touch that they really learned that the herdsmen only killed sheep to eat during festivals or when guests came, and usually only had milk tea and naan, and they lived a very poor life.
So it is also very important for the boys to work and eat mutton today. But at this moment, the smell of mutton and the smell of mushrooms were equally attractive to them - the usual white mushrooms were not eaten by cattle and sheep, so how could they eat them?
Li Long remembered that he had met herdsmen in his previous life. After they got to know each other, they would ask Li Long, "You Han people are really weird. Cows and sheep eat grass. You eat it happily, like alfalfa." , wild leeks, wild onions, etc., isn’t the meat delicious?
Of course the meat is delicious, but the stomachs of the Han people cannot bear it every day.
One after another, young men came back on horseback, some with girls and children on the horseback, some simply came over with their musical instruments on their backs, and some carried their bags, as they put their things in the winter When the nest was on the wooden floor, it made a heavy sound.
Li Long guessed it was a stone.
It has to be said that the mountains on the northern slope of the Tianshan Mountains are rich in jasper resources, but the basic ones are all mountain materials, and there are not many high-quality seed materials. Later generations often read in newspapers that someone found a huge jade stone of three to five tons in the upper reaches of the Ma River, worth tens of millions of yuan. However, this thing is marketable and priceless. Many people own it, but few people buy it.
Of course, there are more now.
The young man holding the stone called Halimu over and asked him to help translate.
“He said to let you take a look at these stones. These stones were picked up by his father and him in the river. I don’t know if they are worth anything. He wanted to exchange them for some large samarium (fan) sickles, and when they arrived It’s used for harvesting grass in the summer pasture.”
As soon as Harimu said this, some young men gathered around and started talking.
"They said that Yersen was really sensible, unlike them who only knew how to change radios. Some young men regretted it and wanted the hammer too. They said they would wait to see if there was anything else they could change at home."
"I have to go back and take a look at this." Li Long did not agree and said: "Samarium sickle is not commonly used there, supply and marketing It may not be available in the club. If it is available, I will buy it. It will be no problem to give everyone two. If not, I will have to find someone to build it. This will take a certain amount of time.”
When Harimu said what he said, the boys immediately started talking again. When Harimu translated, Li Long smiled.
The boys said that Li Long should go and have a look. This is really important.
As for the young men who make direct requests, Li Long thinks they are quite straightforward and cute, without so many tricks. Some people may not be able to accept such straightforwardness, but he thinks it is not bad, at least there is no need to guess. .
As a human being, the most annoying thing is guessing other people's thoughts.
The barbecue was already cooked, and the aroma of the meat came over. Someone came over with a handful of barbecue and shared it with everyone. Li Long got two skewers and ate happily.
As a man of two generations, he only has one idea about barbecue. The freshly roasted meat is the most delicious when eaten next to the barbecue stove. Even if you are sitting at a table not far from the stove, the barbecue person will take the meat from the stove to the table and put it down, and then when you eat it again, the taste will be a little different.
This is similar to the taste of pig-killing vegetables on the day and the taste of fried pork the next day. They are completely different.
I was very thirsty after just eating barbecue. After finishing two skewers of red willow skewers, Li Long threw the skewers away. Not only did he throw them away, but everyone else ate them. The skewers were not recycled. It is everywhere, fold it as you like, no need to recycle it.
When he arrived at the hut, he took out the drink he had brought back in front of his head, and handed out bottles of champagne to everyone, including the woman who prepared the ingredients.
The women took the small champagne with a shy smile and put it aside. Li Long opened the cap of the small champagne with his teeth, and then signaled to everyone. After he took a sip, the other boys also took a bite. Opened the lid and drank.
At this time, the teeth are strong and it is normal to bite the bottle cap with your teeth. There are not so many doctors saying that it will hurt the teeth.
After Harimu took a sip himself and felt that it was not wine, he opened the cap of the bottle and handed it to his wife.
Most of the girls hesitated, but after one or two drank, the others started drinking too.
While eating barbecue, drinking a little champagne, it tastes really good and exciting!
Li Long vaguely remembers that Petite Champagne was withdrawn from the market because of rumors that dichlorvos was added to it when it was produced. He doesn’t know if it’s the same business rumor as MSG cancer or if it’s true. It’s just a feeling. It seemed that in a short period of time in the previous life, Petite Champagne disappeared from the market.
Originally, Li Long was thinking of having a party in the evening, but now the food and drinks have been carried out in advance, but it’s good to think about it. After all, it will be all in the evening, and these young men have finished eating If you finish drinking too late, it won’t be safe when you go back.
The two sheep looked like there were a lot of sheep, but these guys were really good at eating. After finishing the barbecue, each of the little champagne boys picked up another bottle of champagne, and then started eating the finger meat.
What Li Long didn’t expect was that the most popular thing at this time was not the mutton soup, but his mushroom soup!
The mushrooms themselves have a delicious flavor, and now they are freshly picked. Although there is only a little salt added and some green wild onions and leeks floating on them, the taste is so fragrant——
Of course , Li Long thinks the most likely reason is that eating meat is fat, and the mushroom soup is just light enough to eat.
So Li Long only drank half the bowl of mushroom soup in an enamel basin when he first tried the taste, and then it was completely wiped out by others.
While eating and drinking, the boys and girls would take out the radio and play the music on it - Li Long was surprised to find that these people had accurately grasped the time period when the radio station played the program, and then at this time the radio The music has become the best accompaniment for everyone to dance and sing.
After the music on the radio ended, some people began to play and sing to themselves. Li Long could not understand, but some of these people started to dance, some sang along, and some simply sat on the ground and were so intoxicated. Listen.
Even the children joined in and danced so well that Li Long felt ashamed.
This eating and drinking party lasted until the sun was about to go down. The young men said goodbye to Li Long one by one and left on horseback.
Li Long was still a little worried, but Harimu and Yushanjiang told Li Long not to worry.
“They were on horses when they were two or three years old. Don’t look at them shaking now, but they are actually awake. Your little bit of wine won’t get them drunk. They will keep shaking like this all the way to their home. "There."
Okay, although Li Long doesn't understand, he can agree.
Most of the women stayed to clean up the mess, gathering the bones into a pile, and those who had dogs at home would take them back and feed them. The remaining meat was put into a basin and carried into the winter nest. "You guys divide the meat. I will go back to the county tomorrow and it will definitely be difficult to bring this meat with me." Li Long hurriedly said to Harimu, "You can't keep it here. It will be bad if you attract wolves."
< br>
Halimu and Yushanjiang discussed it and divided the meat among the remaining people, but still left two pieces of meat for Li Long, saying it would be breakfast tomorrow morning.
Li Long asked Harimu to take the deer back to their winter nest. He could only take it back when he had time to bring the carriage over.
The sheepskin has been rubbed with salt and is now nailed to the wall of the small room. Flies haven't developed much yet, and the sheepskin can be dried in two or three days, so there's no need to worry.
Li Long waited until Harry, Mu, Yushanjiang and the others left, then relaxed and a little tired, he went to the back of the winter nest, where a toilet was built with wood - of course it was an aqua toilet, and he wanted to drain the water.
“Damn it, you ate too much.” While pouring water, he smelled the overpowering smell of mutton in the urine, and Li Long knew that today’s meal was really too much. .
The mutton is fresh, and the grass-fed sheep itself is not so rotten, at least it is not so rotten when you eat it, so you don’t feel too much. But after eating, the stinky smell in the urine is very strong.
Pick up his pants and Li Long returns to Dongwozi. It is now his own territory.
Both doors can be locked to indicate that the winter nest is occupied. Sitting on the wooden kang, Li Long smelled the faint fragrance of wood and felt very satisfied. This is his own house.
This kind of feeling is not available even in the old big yard bought from Mr. Ma.
Lying on the sheepskin on the wooden kang, Li Long looked at the wooden boards on the top. Although they were rough, they were all filled with his heart.
He decided that after visiting Tao Daqiang and the others tomorrow, he would go down the mountain to the county to buy a samarium sickle. If he couldn't buy it, he would go to a blacksmith shop to make some.
In his previous life, Li Long had seen a samarium sickle, so he believed that even if a blacksmith had never made it, he could describe it clearly. It was just a large sickle, but it was very long horizontally. After all, At this time, herdsmen could only cut grass manually, unlike in later generations when there were various types of lawn mowers to choose from.
I fell asleep without knowing why. Then Li Long woke up from the cold. When he opened his eyes, he found darkness and it took him a while to get used to it. At some point, the door was blown open a crack, and the biting cold wind blew in, making him shiver.
In this mountain, the temperature difference between day and night is too big!
Feeling the urge to urinate in his lower abdomen, Li Long got up, ready to go out to drain the water and then come back to sleep again. As soon as he stepped out of the door, he rushed back as if he had been electrocuted!
Outside, there are fucking wolves!
Several pairs of green eyes were looking for food around the place where the meat had been barbecued and cooked. Li Long hurriedly climbed onto the wooden bed, grabbed the small-caliber rifle, turned on the safety, and finished in one go.
With the gun in his hand, he felt that safety was back in his hands.
Li Long was not a good person either. He felt more courageous holding the caliber gun. He held it up and walked towards the door.
When he arrived at the door and looked outside, Li Long found that the wolves with green eyes seemed to have been frightened just now and had fled further away, but they were stopping to observe him at the moment.
Obviously, the wolf must have been confused by the smell of sheep on the ground outside the winter den, and did not know that there was a living person in the house!
Li Long was grateful at this time. Fortunately, he asked Harimu to take the deer back first. Otherwise, the deer would probably have fallen into the wolf's mouth.
Li Long immediately squatted down, loaded the gun, aimed at the nearest wolf, and fired steadily.
"Pa! Pa!"
After the crisp gunshot, Li Long looked again and saw that the wolf fell to the ground, and other wolves fled towards the forest in a hurry like arrows.
Ever since he started hunting with a gun, Li Long rarely just fired one shot and saw the result when faced with such a big guy. This was based on his experience and lessons. Two more shots are nothing more than a few cents of bullets, but if the first shot misses or misses the vital point, the second shot may make up for it. If you look first at this time, you will lose the opportunity.
Facing the wolf that had fallen down and was still twitching, Li Long did not take it lightly. He gripped the small-caliber rifle and walked slowly over. Then he lowered the gun to the wolf's head and struck again.
The wolf moved for a moment, then stopped completely.
Li Long looked around vigilantly and found that the wolf seemed to be quite afraid of people at this time, or rather afraid of guns. As soon as the gun was fired, they all fled. The wolf siege situation in the previous life novel did not appear. Of course, it may be that the wolf breeds are different or the regions are different.
But he didn’t dare to be careless, dragging the wolf carcass towards the winter den. He still remembered the last time he hunted wolves at night. This wolf was very cunning. Who knew it might be ambush somewhere? .
Draging the wolf to the door of the winter den, Li Long poured water not far away, then entered the wooden house, locked the door, covered it with a sheepskin and continued to sleep.
After Li Long woke up early in the morning, he still felt very cold. He decided to get the stove and put it away early, otherwise he would not be able to bear it that night.
The sun has not yet come out, and the grass tips are full of dew. Li Long found some dry wood from under the firewood pile, pulled some hay and lit the fire. He put an enamel basin on the stove and put yesterday's After the mutton soup and mutton bones were cooked, he took out his knife and began to process the dead wolf.
After these few months of training, Li Long's peeling skills have improved. Although he is not like Harimu and others who can handle things in half an hour, it only took more than an hour to harvest a relatively complete piece. wolf skin.
And a wolf corpse.
He dug a hole and buried the stomach, intestines, etc. He planned to put some of the meat here, rub it with salt and marinate it for later use, and take some with him, leaving some when he goes to see Tao Daqiang and the others later. , take the rest home.
After all, wolf meat is meat. Tao Daqiang and the others may still be eating corn noodle steamed buns now, but they may have finished eating the wild boar meat, right?
Ten young men plus one half-old man, that little bit of meat is definitely not enough to eat.
By this time, the mutton soup in the enamel basin had been boiling for a long time. Li Long took out the firewood from under the stove, filled a bowl with it, and drank it happily while blowing on it.
It’s a good little day.
