Chapter 114 The concerned dog
"Dad, brother! I want to eat bear paws. I heard from our class Sun Wenyu that bear paws are delicious!!"
Recently, the Yue family has The food he eats has soared visibly. Most of the time it was noodles, and he could eat meat for almost every meal. So Yaomei Jingjing also gained confidence in the class, and her complexion became rosy.
Ordinary wild boar meat can no longer satisfy the taste buds of this greedy little cat Jingjing. When she heard about bear paws, her eyes immediately lit up.
Yue Feng glanced at his little sister dotingly, and said without hesitation: "Eat! The bear is ours, we fight it back just to eat! Leave the two front paws and send them to the canteen to sell them for money , these two henchmen will take the pot tonight!”
"Oh! That's great. I want to eat bear paws tonight!!" When Jingjing heard her second brother agreed, she immediately jumped up happily.
Seeing that his sister was so excited, Yue Feng added: "But don't be too confident. This bear paw can't be done in a short while. It has to take off the hair and the skin. It's quite difficult today. If you can cook it, stew it first, and eat it tomorrow after it’s cooked!”
“That’s okay, you can eat it tomorrow!”
Although Jingjing is a little confused, it’s OK! I understand the concept of stewing bear paws for a long time, so just eat them anyway.
It’s easy to get things done when there are many people. Yue Feng went home and made a report, and soon everyone got busy.
The sledge was unloaded, and the wild boar was buried in the snowdrift in the center of the yard. Four bear paws, two back paws from Yue Feng's pot, and the remaining two front paws will be sent to the second canteen with the wild boars to sell for money tomorrow afternoon. .
After unloading the truck, Yue Feng called the team together again.
Yue Feng pointed to the second largest sow among the six pigs and said: "Among these pigs, Xiaonian and Junqiang also share intelligence dividends! How do you think it is appropriate to divide them? Otherwise, Give them this sow?”
“This sow is empty and weighs 1,780 pounds? They just gave it information. I don’t think it’s worth it. "More!"
Xiao Tao is a bit of a fool. After hearing Yue Feng's plan, he was the first to express his opinion that he shouldn't give so much.
"Where's Xiaowen? What do you think?" Yue Feng nodded and asked Xiaowen again
Xiaowen frowned slightly and thought for a while: "Since we are hunting prey, we must share the information we promised.< br>
There are four of us, five stocks, plus one gun and one intelligence, a total of seven stocks, three big pigs, a total of about 650 kilograms, and three small pigs, about 300 kilograms, in total. The gross weight is about 950 kilograms!
If you give it to this sow, it is indeed a bit much! If it’s a sow, just remove the hind legs and drain the internal organs, and it’ll be enough!”
At this time, Xiaowu, who had been silent, said: "Let me say, it's better to give them these cannon eggs!
Although this thing can't be sold at a high price, it has a lot of meat! Maybe Xiaonian and the others I’ll be happier if I get a share!
We can sell the sow’s pork, and both ends will be happy!”
Not to mention, Xiaowu’s proposal is indeed more attractive. However, Yue Feng knows Xiaonian's temperament. If he is allowed to choose by himself, he may choose this way, but if you choose for him, he will easily have troubles in his heart. Yue Feng's hunting team cooperated with outsiders for the first time, and he didn't want to be criticized.
Thinking of this, Yue Feng nodded: "Xiao Tao, go to Xiao Nian's house and call him and Jun Qiang over! Since we are going to do something, we must do it openly!"
< br>
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Xiao Tao responded, turned around and walked out of the courtyard, heading straight to Xiaonian's house on the front street.
In less than ten minutes, brothers Xiaonian and Junqiang followed Xiaotao to Yue Feng's house.
As soon as they entered the yard, the two brothers looked happy. The six wild boars were lined up on the ground. Even the five sets of pigs they brought back to the water were frozen and solid on the snow.
"It has to be Brother Feng, you guys killed so many pigs this time!! That's awesome!!" Xiaonian complimented with a smile on his face.
Yue Feng nodded slightly with the corner of his mouth raised: "There are six pigs, some big and some small, some male and some female. I promised you a share at the beginning, and asked you to come and see today's harvest, and then take your share back. ! ”
"I'm so sorry. You're the leader, so let's wait and see!" Xiaonian scratched his head, glanced at the wild boar carcass on the ground, and said hypocritically.
Yue Feng pinched his fingers and said solemnly: "There are seven shares in total, and you and Jun Qiang will share one share!
Based on pure weight, the visual estimate of these six pigs is 950 The gross weight is about 135 kilograms per share.
However, sow meat is more expensive than canned eggs. The canned eggs are just over 200 kilograms. According to the market price, they are less than 60 yuan, which means they can hold 80 kilograms.
In terms of value, the eggs can be converted into 100 pounds of sows.
This is a total sow gross weight of 850 kilograms, and one share is 120 kilograms.
After all, you two brothers are in the same boat, so let’s make your choice first. Once you’ve made your choice, we’ll split it up later! "
When Jun Qiang learned that he could share more than a hundred kilograms of pork with a piece of information, he was immediately happy and kept looking at his cousin. That means don't hesitate and choose quickly.
But Xiaonian, after looking around, was a little undecided.
Yue Feng told him the subtext that the price of canned egg meat was cheaper. Xiaonian understood it, but he didn't. I don't want this egg.
If you want sow's pork, you'll get a lot less, because according to the price of sow's pork, one pound is almost more than two pounds, which is a bit of a loss.
"Brother Xiaonian!!" Junqiang, who didn't know much about the city, saw that Xiaonian didn't speak, couldn't hold it in and shouted in a deep voice. .
"Otherwise, we two brothers can wait to split the money after selling it. Brother Feng, do you think it's okay?" Xiaonian said with a roll of his eyes.
It is indeed affordable to divide pork, but these days, it also costs money to turn pork into money. After all the calculations, the two brothers can divide sixty or seventy yuan in cash, which is not a small sum. This money can do a lot of things.
Yue Feng smiled and shook his head: "The cost of dividing the money is too high, and it's not cost-effective for you! If you include sales, it's not seven shares, it's nine shares at least! Let's divide the meat. ! ”
"Okay! Then give this cannon egg to both of us!"
Xiao Nian didn't expect that Yue Feng calculated so clearly that he wouldn't suffer any losses. If he couldn't get enough money, he could only settle for the next best thing and get the 200-pound cannon-egg wild boar. "Okay, in addition to the pig's voice, pick another one to take away!" Yue Feng waved his hand, and it was settled with Xiaonian.
Soon, everyone joined hands and lifted the wild boar onto the sledge brought by Xiaonian. After watching the two brothers leave, the matter of dividends was temporarily over, and the team Internal dividends will be distributed after the money is sold.
After the prey was divided, the frozen wild boar was temporarily buried in the snowdrift, and then everyone entered the house.
Meng Yulan scooped out all the large porridge in the pot into the enamel basin, and scrubbed it several times until there was no trace of oil in the pot.
When the water boiled, Yue Feng tied the bear bile in the small cloth bag with a cotton thread, and then dipped it in the boiling water.
Oddly enough, the green-looking grass gall swelled instantly after being exposed to hot water. The fine wrinkles on the surface all swelled up, and the texture on the surface of the skin was like that occasionally seen on a rainy day. The large gas toad.
After the bear bile had been dipped in boiling water, Yue Feng carried it out of the north room, knotted the cotton thread holding the bear bile, and hung it on the beam of the barn in the courtyard.
Black bear bile is a very precious medicinal material, but the bile freshly taken from the bear cannot be sold. It needs to be dipped in boiling water and then hung in a ventilated and cool place to dry.
The operation of dipping in boiling water is not done once. When the surface of the bear bile is 'deflated', you will continue to dip it for a second time, a third time... until it is completely dry and the bear bile no longer swells when placed in boiling water.
After finishing their busy work, Brother Yue Feng and the others no longer need to do anything. Yue Feng removed a yellow-haired thigh and carried it into the house. He poured cold water into the basin and soaked it. It won’t take long. With a little effort, the frozen pork legs can be melted.
Wait for the pork leg meat to melt, peel the skin, remove the bones, then cut the meat into slices, add potatoes, dried eggplants, dried beans, vermicelli, hazel mushrooms, sauerkraut, these ingredients that every household in the Northeast eats in winter , stewed in a big pot, it is a rare delicious food.
As for the bear paws, they were cooked quickly after they were taken out of the pot. According to Yue Feng’s memory of his previous life experience, these two back paws need to be stewed for at least five or six hours.
There are many sayings about this stewed bear paw. Well-made bear paws are fat but not greasy, and leave a fragrant fragrance on the lips and teeth. However, if you don’t make it right, you will only end up with greasy fat and a chewy bite. The muscles and bones are immobile, plus there is a smell of earth and pine tar.
It's dark now, it's past six o'clock, and it's definitely impossible to eat bear paws tonight. Just to remove the hair, you need to boil it for more than two hours. After the hair is gone, you have to boil it for another three or four hours. It takes midnight to get everything done smoothly.
But eating bear paws, the main thing to eat is a trick. It is the first time to hit a bear after rebirth, so you have to try it once.
That's it, the kitchen was busy until 7:30 before eating, thanks to the tender meat of Xiaohuang Maozi.
A large pot of hot wild boar stew was brought to the kang table. The brothers, who had been hungry for a long time, immediately started a melee.
The wild boar meat slices can be made casually. In a large pot full of meat, at least more than half is pork. Putting it in your mouth with chopsticks will make a beautiful person hum.
Four brothers, each with two taels of white wine and two taels of steamed buns with noodles. After finishing the meal, it was rare that the meat and vegetables in the big basin on the table were not finished.
Xiao Tao covered his stomach and said with a greasy mouth: "No, I've been too oily recently. It seems that my appetite has become smaller. I can't eat anymore!"
"Stop talking about you!" , Xiaowu and I also ate a lot less. I remember that we also stewed a large pot of pork two days ago. This pot was not enough, so Brother Feng went to the pot to scoop out another batch! "How long has it been?" He also expressed his feelings.
Looking at his friends who were clutching their stomachs and looking satisfied, Yue Feng raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Everyone, work hard, life will gradually get better!
Waiting until we go up the mountain tomorrow Drag the bear back, and let’s cook a pot of bear meat tonight! There are so many wild animals on the mountain, and now we have guns, so we can go for a walk when we have time!”
"Oh, we just don't have a dog. It would be great if we had a living alpha dog!" Xiaowen couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, if you have a good dog, you don't have to follow the snow trail to find information from outsiders! If you go up the mountain and let the dog go, it won't be twice the result with half the effort!" Xiaowu also endured Can't help but echo.
The team talked about dogs, and Yue Feng's first reaction was to think of the four hounds in Chen Pao's hands during the day.
The green wolf that was bitten to death was a helper dog, and he was also a hard-nosed dog. There were many old scars on his fur, all of which were traces of a frontal confrontation with the prey.
The real leader of Mr. Chen’s dog pack is the uninjured little bitch.
Despite her small size, this little bitch is very smart when it comes to working in the mountains. She will not put herself in dangerous situations unless it is a matter of life and death.
Many people may have misunderstandings about hunting dogs. They think that those hunting dogs that are simply bold, cruel, and dare to fight and charge are truly good hunting dogs. Dougao Chuan and Bitchuaner are sought after by some of the newer generations of hunters in many places.
In fact, this idea is very one-sided.
It is easy to break when it is just over, just like a green wolf, it cannot encounter hard stubble. Indeed, this kind of bold dog is efficient in hunting. As long as it is trapped, a pig of two hundred kilograms can be captured in one round. .
But if the dog is let out, it’s not certain what it will encounter. What if it’s three to four hundred pounds of cannon eggs? What if it's a blind bear like today who weighs three to four hundred pounds? A dog that confronts someone head-on will suffer a big loss.
It can range from injury to death, it all depends on luck.
Don’t you see, the paw team with more than a dozen dogs dispatched together, after a tough battle, the loss rate of three, five or even more dogs. There were countless injured dogs, and they were carried down the mountain one by one.
That is to say, at this stage of material abundance, people use hounds to hunt and protect farmers, and no longer consider cost-effectiveness. If the loss rate of hounds was like this in the Changbai Mountains in the 1980s, no one could afford it, even if they were quite wealthy. Mr. Qiao, who has a well-known family fortune, cannot bear such a heavy loss of hunting dogs.
The hounds of that era were all native dogs born and raised in the Northeast. In terms of blood lines, they were mainly northern pastoral dogs. There were also a small number of hounds mixed with Mongolian blood. Overall, they were all He is a dog with a high combat IQ, unlike those like Dougal who rely purely on brute force to work. Either you die or I die.
The ideal hunting dog in Yue Feng's mind should be the kind of dog that has an accurate understanding of the fighting power of both sides. It will not hesitate when it comes to soft persimmons. It also knows how to deal with and show weakness when it comes to hard persimmons. It is best to The more powerful the road is, the whole job is done from top to bottom, and the journey is longer, the better.
After today's lesson of killing Xiong Cangzi, Chen Pao will probably think of washing his hands in a golden basin. Even if he doesn't want to quit, his son probably won't either. He has already taken the quick-acting Jiuxin Pills and goes up the mountain to find excitement. , the risk cannot be tolerated.
If the three experienced hunting dogs in his hand are willing to be sold, Yue Feng is determined to win them!
Yue Feng still doesn’t know that the dog he misses will soon be obtained!
