Seeing the jeep, Harimu was stunned for a moment. It wasn't until he saw Li Long getting off the jeep that he smiled.
Li Long remembered that the ditch between the road and Halimudongwozi was filled in the summer, so the jeep should be able to drive through it, after all, the tractors have been driven there.
He put the gear in gear and adjusted the direction and drove towards Dongwozi.
The off-road function of the jeep played a powerful role, climbing up from the ditch and driving to Harimu's side.
Li Long got out of the car, shook hands with Harimu, and after greeting each other, pointed at the two antelopes in the car and said:
"I hunted them on the road. The horns belong to me, and the mutton belongs to you."
"No, no, no," Harimu looked at the two antelopes and said, "One is enough. One has to be divided with the Yushan River. There is still a lot of winter slaughtered meat at home. You can take the other one back.”
“I also have a lot of it.” Li Long. Explaining, "I have killed a lot of yellow sheep in the past two days, and there is a lot of meat."
"There are many of you, so keep it to eat." Harimu still insisted, "Come, drink some milk tea first, and then Let's peel the skin off."
Li Long was very happy. Harry didn't even need to say a word to help him peel off the skin.
"Unload the things first." Li Long said, "Drink milk tea after unloading, otherwise there will always be something in your mind."
"Okay." Harimu said, and his wife followed suit. Coming out of the cave, he smiled shyly at Li Long, which was equivalent to saying hello.
The two people took down the grain, medicinal materials, eggs, potatoes, sprouts and other things from the back of the jeep.
After entering Dongwozi, Li Long specially brought over the paper box containing the medicinal materials. There were oil pens, glue and paper inside. He asked Harry Mu to label the names of the medicines.
This is a big deal. Harimu tore up the note very seriously. Li Long recited a medicine, and he wrote one. Li Long didn't read the name of the medicine, just its effects.
Harimu's wife looked at the bag of potatoes and the bag of sprouts and was very happy. In January, Harimu's mother and their children will be back. With these things and the meat slaughtered in winter, cooking will be much easier.
By the way, there is still so much flour and rice. Then we can make naan, make naan, and make pilaf.
Great!
Stick a note with words on the bottle of each medicine and put it into the box again. The milk tea has been boiled.
Li Long and Harimu were drinking milk tea and talking about their own things.
"The car outside was replaced with tiger skin." Li Long didn't hide it from Harimu, but he also hoped that he could keep it secret. "I told the person who changed the skin that there are no bones, only skin and head."
< br>"Okay, if someone comes to ask me, I will say that the tiger head and skin were brought back, but the bones and meat were not eaten and were thrown into the mountains." Harimu knew what Li Long meant and said immediately.
Li Long smiled, such a good friend.
“Recently I drove this car to the no-man’s land in the west, where herds of yellow sheep were walking south from the sandbags in the north. They might arrive at your winter pasture to graze. "
"Don't worry, you still have a lot of bullets for us. If they dare to come over, we dare to keep their skins." Harimu would occasionally be humorous.
After drinking the milk tea and feeling warm, Harimu took out his knife and went to prepare to skin it.
Li Long also came out together. Two antelopes, two people together will be faster.
Halimu’s wife also came out with a big basin to help. Li Long guessed that she mainly helped to get the offal, because they all knew that Li Long and the others ate offal.
In fact, Harimu and the others also eat it, but it is not as complicated as what Li Long and the others eat.
The two antelopes are not completely frozen yet, and their bodies are not completely hard, so they can be skinned quite quickly. Soon, a crocodile was peeled out.
Li Long was slower than Harimu, so Harimu gave him guidance. Then he found that there was not enough water, so he went to fetch it.
Two buckets of water were brought over, and Harimu said breathlessly: "I'm thinking about the water pipe you are going to make now. If the water can really be connected to the winter nest, and it doesn't freeze in winter, then It’s really great.”
Although the snow can melt in winter, the nearby snow is trampled by cattle and sheep. In winter, their cattle and sheep are not all pen sheep. This is a winter nest, which means there is a winter pasture nearby.
The grass in the winter pasture is not cut because the altitude is low, there is not as much snow as in the summer pasture, and it is not as cold as in the summer pasture. Therefore, cattle and sheep can graze in the winter pasture in winter. If the grass Even cattle and sheep can kick away the snow.
When the snow melts in spring, the grass has not yet grown up, so you can eat grass here.
Therefore, in the small tribe of Harimu, each family has three pastures, a summer pasture, a winter pasture, and a grazing pasture.
Li Long also finished skinning the antelope skin. He wiped the knife on the skin, wiped off some grease, and then said:
"We will come over to work as soon as spring begins. Come back this time If there are more people, the work will be faster. Then call all your people over and they will watch how we operate. .
You must pay attention at this time. If you do it well, you can use it in the winter. If you don’t do it well, it will freeze in the winter. "
In fact, Li Long plans to go to each family for acceptance. , and those who are not qualified should get it done before they transfer, so that when they come back from the transfer, they won’t have to worry about water problems.
After all, when we came back from the transfer, it was basically snowing here, and there was no way to do construction at that time.
That’s it.
After peeling off the antelope skin, Li Long rubbed it with salt and then rolled it up, otherwise it would freeze into pieces. Harimu only left one antelope, so Li Long packed up the other one and the offal of the two antelopes and put them in the car.
The two antelope heads did not move. The horns of these two antelopes were more than 30 centimeters long. They looked obviously different from the horns of the yellow sheep. Li Long was very happy.
He planned to give a sheep head to Director Qian, and kept the remaining sheep head for himself.
"Halimu, if you catch such an antelope in the winter pasture, be sure to keep the horns." Li Long thought for a while, then handed one of the antelope heads he wanted to keep with a broken horn to Halimu:
"If the child has a fever, scrape some off and soak it in water for the child to drink. The fever will subside quickly."
"Really?" Harimu looked at the sheep horn. , asked with some curiosity.
"It's true." Li Long remembered something again, and he continued:
"After a while, I will get some wine and soak the tiger's bones in it. Yue, it will be good for your mother to drink a small glass of that wine every day.”
Elderly people who often live in the mountains will have some waist and leg problems. Tiger bone wine can cure this, but of course you need to drink it for a period of time.
Although Harimu didn't know that tiger bones had this effect, he believed in Li Long.
Li Long felt that he needed to soak the tiger bones when he went back.
At noon, we had lunch at Harimu’s house. Harimu’s wife fried Kazakh potato chips, ate naan, and drank milk tea. She knew that Li Long couldn't get used to their kind of kindness, so she didn't do it.
The portion of the dish was large, and Li Long was quite happy to eat it. He is not very picky about food, and here in Harimu, he can eat freely without paying attention to anything, and he is very relaxed.
After eating and resting for a while, Li Long left. Seeing Li Long driving a jeep and speeding away on the road in the snow, to be honest, Harimu was actually quite envious.
People on horseback sometimes hope there will be other ways to move forward.
Who would have thought that in ten or twenty years there would be a group of Kazakh children who would like to herd cattle on motorcycles?
Li Long didn't go to the wooden house. He didn't plan to stay at the moment, so he wouldn't bother him.
He just found a place with water, dug out two bags of black soil with a shovel, and put them in the jeep. I plan to take it back to grow vegetables.
It was already afternoon when he returned to the county. Li Long first went to the food company and bought several large cages of wine. Glass bottles for soaking wine are hard to find, so you have to look for them slowly.
At that time, there were no special glass jars of sorghum wine for sale in department stores, and there were no specially made jars for soaking wine in later generations. He remembered that pickles were sold on the side of Wuyi Highway. A small jar with a bowl-like lid.
Li Long went and bought four of them, planning to use them to make wine. As for the sealing issue, you need to fasten the buckle bowl and pour water on the edge of the bowl to seal it. This water needs to be added frequently, otherwise the water will dry up and it will not be sealed.
Originally, it could be sealed with wax, but considering that it can be drunk after soaking for a month, Li Long felt that wax was more troublesome.
Driving the wine and jar home, there was no one at home. Li Long decomposed the antelope first, put the meat into a large basin, and heated hot water on the stove.
The stomach and intestines were simply cleaned by Harimu. He needed to wash them again before he could cook and eat.
Since we are already home, there is no need to rush. When he had washed his stomach and intestines clean, Sister Yang also came back. Seeing Li Long packing the meat, he hurriedly took it and "driven" Li Long out of the kitchen.
In the eyes of Sister Yang and Sister-in-law Liang Yuemei, men make money and should not appear in the kitchen. Li Long came out of the kitchen, washed his hands, and went to clean the jar. After cleaning the jar, he moved it with the wine to the room between the master bedroom and the room where Sister Yang and Han Fang lived.
This room was originally occupied by Li Long. Later, after getting married, the room became vacant, but many of Li Long’s things were placed in it. There's no fire in the house right now, but it's okay to put wine in and it won't freeze.
Throw three or four clean tiger bones into each jar, then pour in 80% of the wine, close the bowl, and then pour water around the edge.
He can guarantee that this wine is grain wine, the kind with 55 degrees.
Actually, there are also those with 60 degrees. Li Long felt that it was not good if the temperature was too high. Drinking it would harm your health.
After soaking in the wine, there were still a lot of tiger bones left. Li Long thought that after a while, he would give some of the lynx bones to a few close people as a gift, and the rest Just keep it and don’t move it.
You may only get one tiger bone in your lifetime, so you might as well cherish it and use it.
Then he remembered the ginseng. Wild ginseng is not that expensive now, can he buy some?
This thing is not accepted by the county supply and marketing cooperative, and the medicinal materials company is only accessible, Li Long thought, and walked out in his coat.
Sister Yang was braised offal and preparing dinner for the evening. Seeing Li Long walking out, she hurriedly left the kitchen and asked:
"Uncle, are you going out? Are you ready for dinner tonight?" Okay."
"I'll go to the acquisition station to ask something, and I'll be back soon," Li Long said, "Don't worry about me."
Li Long went out and closed the door, then walked to the purchasing station.
In the buying station, Chen Hongjun was collecting leather. When he saw Li Long coming, he asked with a smile: "Xiao Li, did you bring leather again?"
"No, this time I was empty-handed. I’m here, I want to ask something.”
“Then wait, I’ll talk to you after I’m done.”
Li Long stood aside and watched.
He had no intention of taking out the chamois skin. Chen Hongjun is well-informed and can probably recognize an antelope skin when he sees it. This thing has skin and horns, but it's hard to tell about his horns.
In addition, Chen Hongjun and Li Xiangqian were familiar with each other. Li Long only had three horns. The first two horns were prepared for Director Qian, and the remaining sheep was intended to be kept by himself. If you hit it again later, you can score a point. If you don't hit it, just keep the skin for now.
Chen Hongjun finished collecting the leather and then asked Li Long to sit by the stove.
He handed Li Long a handful of melon seeds, indicating that he would knock them while talking.
Chen Hongjun also grabbed a handful of melon seeds, smashed the melon seed peels and threw them under the furnace door. This is where the ashes fall. When the time comes, they will be swept away.
"I want to ask you if you know where I can get wild ginseng?"
"Why do you want wild ginseng?" Chen Hongjun was a little confused, "Is someone in your family sick?"
>"No, you have to be prepared," Li Long said truthfully, "I thought that there would be less and less of those things in the future, and the price would definitely increase, so I bought some now and prepared them."
"Wild ginseng Can It’s not cheap.” Chen Hongjun said, “The better ones cost hundreds, and even thousands. We don’t produce them here, but I can find out that they are available in the autonomous region’s medicinal materials company and in the warehouse over there. Taoist, the price must have increased a lot.”
“It’s okay, just pay more. I can’t go to the Northeast to collect it. I don’t know anyone there.”
Li Long felt that his life was still valuable, so he would not go outside. If you encounter a fool or someone who doesn't understand the law, then go to the ball.
Just stay here honestly. After all, there are no people here in your one-third of an acre of land. As for if you want to travel, wait until 30 years from now, when public security has improved, and it won’t be too late to go there.
The matter was settled like this. Li Long didn't ask too much. He just bought one or two and soaked them in wine. The wine could be replenished. How nice.
I don’t know if I can soak it with tiger bones. If tiger bones don’t work, how about tiger whip?
Li Long returned to the compound, and Gu Xiaoxia had just gotten off work and was holding her bicycle.
Seeing Li Long come in, she said:
"I just asked my dad if he could come over for dinner. He said he wouldn't. He said there were too many people coming to buy agricultural supplies in the past two days and they were too busy and didn't want to move. ”
“Let’s do it later. "I'll give you some offal." Li Long said, "It's time to have some dinner, drink some wine, and have a good sleep."
"Although Gu Xiaoxia is a little afraid of the cold, she thinks about her father alone." , I had to do business and cook, so I decided to deliver it.
"I'm going, but don't go." Li Long remembered that Gu Xiaoxia was afraid of the cold and said, "I went to have a drink with Uncle Gu and will come back then. You can watch TV at home."
"Let's go together. I'm not that squeamish." Gu Xiaoxia was worried about her father. She heard Li Long said that she wanted to have two drinks with his father, and was worried that Li Long would not come back because he drank too much, so she decided to go together.
When Li Long and Gu Xiaoxia brought braised pork to Gu Boyuan's yard, he was baking steamed buns on the stove. There was a plate of freshly cut pickles on the table, not fried. There is also a bowl of batter, which must have been made in the morning. It seems that it has been heated and has become like a paste.
Seeing her father eating this at night, Gu Xiaoxia couldn't help it. Her eyes were red, and she covered her mouth and was speechless.
Li Long hurried over, put the cut braised pork on a plate, put the wine he brought on the table, and then said with a smile:
"Uncle Gu, do you think we should Come on, you can just make do with it. You can go to our place for dinner from now on. You’re busy here and don’t have time to do anything like this.”
Gu Boyuan had already felt his daughter's emotions and was a little at a loss. He wanted to refuse Li Long's words, but he knew that if he refused, his daughter would be even more sad.
Although Gu Boyuan made it clear when he married his daughter that her daughter was already a member of the Li family, don't always think about yourself. But subconsciously, I am just such a relative, can I really count myself as someone else’s family?
"Okay, after we finish the work here, I will go there to eat at noon and evening."
"If not, you can go there in the morning." Li Long said again with a smile.
“That won’t work,” Gu Boyuan said hurriedly, “Why don’t you tell me to move to your place?”
"That's okay." Li Long laughed and said, "Our place is quite lively."
"Fuck you." Gu Boyuan smiled. He glanced at Gu Xiaoxia, who also smiled. He could persuade It would be nice to have dinner with her father at her place. She felt that Li Long had something to do.
Both Gu Boyuan and Li Long drank two glasses of the freshly braised "haggis", not much, just a little bit to feel good.
On the way back, Gu Xiaoxia said to Li Long:
"Let's give Sister Yang some salary. She has done so many things, and it can't be justified if we don't give her a salary."< br>
"As long as you can tell her that she wants the salary, I will give it." Li Long said with a smile, "She won't ask for it. She thinks that we took them in and gave them a yard to live in, which is already a great kindness.
She was waiting for a letter from her hometown to tell her. It’s easy for her to find her husband’s address. In fact, I think she’s quite conflicted now. It’s nice to live here. She doesn’t want to leave, but she wants to find her husband more, know where he is, and reunite her family.”< br>
Li Long analyzed with his own subjective thoughts.
Gu Xiaoxia didn't know whether it was right or not. She was reluctant to leave Sister Yang, but Sister Yang had her own home, and she and Han Fang would eventually go back to their own home.
She stopped talking.
When she finally arrived at the gate, Gu Xiaoxia said:
"Then let's help inquire. It's best to find Han Fang's father. It's quite pitiful that the family is not reunited."
< br>Li Long nodded.
In the team, the militiamen who have completed training are listening to Xu Chengjun's instructions.
“Everyone, listen up. Anyone who can get a good place in the rural competition during the shooting training, or who can hit the forty-ninth ring or above in the final assessment, I will take him hunting. ! ”
"Captain, do you keep your word?" someone couldn't help but ask.
“When do you think I don’t mean anything?” Xu Chengjun asked, “Remember, as long as you practice well and fight well, there will be benefits!”
PS: Today is only one chapter. . I drove from Yili to Ma County. Things were fine in the front. When I got to Gurtu, the traffic police arranged for me to get off the expressway. I first went onto a dirt road and then onto a national highway. The traffic police escorted the car slowly in the Wusu section, fearing that something might happen.
Because the road was icy, many cars crashed, slipped and fell. It originally took more than six hours to get there, but in the end I ran for eight hours. My back felt so bad that I couldn't move anymore. Okay, no more explanation, what I explain does not count as money. Tomorrow we will kill a pig at home, maybe there will be another chapter tonight (end of chapter)
