Chapter 214 Lynx meat is of great use
After preliminary inspection of the prey, Yue Feng took out the leg insert from his calf in advance and started working without waiting for Xiao Tao and others to come over.
This tiger cub is a rare thing. Everyone knows that there is this thing in Changbai Mountain, but ordinary people have rarely seen it with their own eyes. Even ordinary hunters who have been making a living in the mountains for many years have no chance of encountering it. not much.
The mature male lynx that Yue Feng shot today is even rarer. The lynxes near human settlements are usually females or sub-adult cubs that have just escaped from the protection of their mothers. Their status in the group is The comprehensive strength value is relatively low, and it is unable to occupy the relatively resource-rich territory in the deep mountains and old forests. It can only live in the corners of the area close to human activities.
This precious male lynx cannot be casually slashed horizontally on its neck when bleeding. The collection of fur must be particular, and random openings may lower the quality of the fur.
I saw Yue Feng using the wide-edged leg prong in his hand to cut a vertical incision into the animal skin along the angle of the lynx's head, and then used the blade to carefully separate the skin from the underlying muscles. After all the fur on the neck was peeled off, Yue Feng found the blood vessels and opened a hole. He lifted up the lynx's body by its hind legs and let the blood flow out under the influence of gravity.
During this process, the big black eagle was quite obedient to its owner's move of the prey. After discovering that Yue Feng had hung the prey upside down, it calmly jumped off the lynx's head.
There was soft snow foam under the feet. When the lynx fell down after being shot in the head, a large amount of brains and other minced meat were scattered near the feet. The big black eagle knew that the owner would definitely give it to him after he disposed of the body. I wanted to reward myself based on my merits, so I jumped around and picked up the scraps of meat and brains that fell on the snow.
Not long ago, when facing the lynx, it was an extremely ferocious raptor, but now next to Yue Feng, this guy behaves a bit like a common chicken in the countryside, which is called a harmless person.
While waiting for the lynx to empty its body of blood, the three Xiaotao brothers also caught up with them half a beat later.
More than ten meters away, I saw a huge lynx stuck on a tree branch with its head facing down. Its graceful curves and shiny fur made it look like a top-notch product.
"Brother! Beat him to death? That's awesome! He's pissy!!" Xiao Tao walked up quickly, touching and looking at the prey.
“Why is this tiger cub so big? It’s almost catching up with a real tiger. I saw a lynx skin last time. It’s at least two sizes smaller than this lynx!” Xiaowen next to him also showed his face. I'm so happy, this big lynx looks strange.
Yue Feng grinned: "This is a big male lynx, and it is definitely worse than a real tiger! Judging from the wear and tear on the teeth, it should be about four or five years old! It has the strongest body and the best fur quality. It’s a good stage! I’ve almost drained the blood. Who among you will be responsible for skinning and disemboweling?”
When asked, the three brothers who usually skin and disembowel themselves and even bet on each other are all cowardly now. .
This lynx fur is too precious, and the skinning skills are also relatively high. If the tip of the knife slips with your hand and makes a hole, it will be a sin.
Yue Feng glanced at the three brothers and said with a smile: "Za Di? You don't have confidence in your own craftsmanship? Xiao Tao, why don't you try it? Normally, you'd be best if you peeled the handle!"
Xiao Tao shook his head like a rattle: "Come on, last time I peeled off a badger, I accidentally poked a hole in it! I finally hit the head without hurting the skin! Brother, you should do it yourself. If Just poke a hole and you won't be ranked lower!"
"Okay! Then I'll do it. It's a tough life. I don't know who is the leader, but I have to be responsible for skinning and disemboweling him!" He joked very happily.
"Hey, those who can do it should work harder! Skinning is usually rough work, and I don't feel bad about the harm, but this lynx skin cannot be lost!" Xiao Tao knew that Yue Feng was joking with him, so he was not angry.
When Yue Feng saw that the lynx was bleeding out, he lifted it off the tree branch. Then he used the pad of his thumb to point to the tip of the knife and carefully cut open the underside of the lynx's belly and took out its internal organs.
Compared to omnivorous mountain animals such as wild boars, black bears, and blind men, the lynx has much fewer internal organs. Yue Feng carefully used the tip of the knife to cut off the fascial ties at key parts, and then removed the entire set of internal organs. All taken out.
Seeing the offal that he loved to eat, the owner took it out, and the big black eagle squatting beside him immediately became excited.
I saw it spread its two strong wings and flapped vigorously a few times, and then screamed at the internal organs on the ground.
"Okay, okay, stop barking, come here and eat meat! You are a great hero, I will eat with you today to make sure you are full!"
Yue Feng responded to his precious big black eagle while casually taking out the lynx's heart, liver, lungs and delicious internal organs.
The blade of the knife cuts through the meat, cutting it into moderately thick pieces of meat, and then feeding them into the mouth of the big black eagle one by one.
Today the big black hawk seemed to be very satisfied with the lynx's internal organs, and its appetite was much larger than usual.
Eating the whole heart was not enough, so I also ate half-cooked liver and half-cooked lungs, until the food crops on my chest were bulging high and it was difficult to even lower my head, and then I ended up reluctantly. Eat. He jumped onto a branch nearby and began to bend his neck to press food into the bottom of the crop.
The big black eagle finished eating, and now it was the turn of the four dogs. Yue Feng first called Dahuang, the main dog of the team, to come over and fed half of the liver. Then he called the black wolf over and gave half of the remaining liver. of lungs.
The remaining intestines were divided between Dahei and Huogou.
The four dogs and the big black eagle were still not full after eating the whole set of lynx offal. Yue Feng didn't care whether the lynx meat was valuable or not. After peeling off the fur on the abdomen with a knife, he started eating it. The meat from the bottom of the lynx's belly began to be cut off one by one until all four dogs had eaten and their bellies were round. This was the end of the dog feeding stage. After the eagle and the dog finished eating, it was time for Yue Feng to get down to business.
He picked up the lynx from the bloody first scene and moved it about four or five meters. Then he took a knife and cut off the parts that had not been separated. Peel off the skin carefully.
At this time, the other three people in the team discovered that the captain’s skinning skills were not much worse than Uncle Zhao. Usually they only knew that he was good at skinning, but they didn’t expect him to be so good.
After spending more than forty minutes, Yue Feng successfully peeled off the perfect lynx skin. He dragged the fur back and forth several times in the snow foam, and the occasional blood stains on the fur were rubbed off by the snow foam. The texture details of this fur are very special. Perfect.
"Okay, the skin is now peeled off! How do you think it looks, everyone?"
Yue Feng lifted up the fur and shook it in the air. The fresh skin that was just peeled off was still a bit heavy, but it was enough. It turns out the quality is good.
"This leather is good. If an ordinary lynx leather can be sold for eight hundred, isn't this leather worth more than a thousand? Look at the texture and size!"
"I don't care about the leather. I'm not worried, I just want to know if this lynx meat is delicious.
Look at its red flesh, no wonder it’s so powerful. It can climb walls, climb trees, etc. all thanks to these muscles! "Xiao Tao didn't pay attention to the fur, but became very interested in the meat.
It is said that the meat of beasts that eat meat is not delicious, has a strong taste, and has thick fiber. If it is not cooked well, it will be eaten. There is a sour taste. In fact, there is a misunderstanding in this.
These shortcomings do exist, but if you make adjustments to the food processing and cooking techniques, there is still something unique.
For example, if this lynx is shot to death by an ignorant person, the blood will not be drained and the body will not be cut open. The skin will be skinned after returning home.
The meat produced is 10,000 percent unpalatable. It has a strong fishy smell, thick muscle fiber, and cannot be cooked well. It is far inferior to beef, mutton and even pork.
But what if the blood is drained immediately during the hunt? Has the chamber been completely emptied?
The fishy smell buried in the blood will be reduced by more than 90%!
At this time, if you add various aniseed ingredients to remove fishy smell and increase aroma, you can completely cover up the smell.
Coupled with appropriate cooking methods, the meat dishes produced will have a chewy texture, and the remaining trace of fishy smell will not only not affect the taste, but also increase the taste level of the ingredients. The details are , it’s hard to understand the beauty of it without trying it.
Yue Feng had eaten lynx meat in his previous life. At that time, he hunted the only lynx. After the skin was handed over to the group as required by the hunting team, all the meat that was taken off belonged to him.
There was a cook in the hunting team who was good at cooking. Together they took it to each other's house and finished a meal of lynx meat. They all said that the meat tasted different from ordinary dog meat, pork or even bear meat. It’s different. It’s nonsense to shout about the rumored bad taste.
Yue Feng only ate this rare thing once in his life.
Unexpectedly, Yue Feng completed the job smoothly with the information he bought for 150 yuan. Not only did they obtain precious lynx fur, but also at least dozens of kilograms of lynx meat.
“This meat is delicious after being processed. I heard an old hunter mention it. When I took off one of my legs to return the ski, I went to give my husband a pole. Let’s cook half of the rest and taste it ourselves, and the other half. , Send it to the Second Canteen!" Yue Feng said his solution in front of everyone.
None of the four brothers in Yue Feng's team has ever been serious about allocating prey. The captain Yue Feng seems to be fair in doing things. Even if he sometimes uses the team's profits to give favors, he will also do it during meetings or when sharing money. Bring it up to everyone.
On weekdays, whether everyone goes out in the morning before leaving or celebrates at Yue Feng's house after catching prey, the captain is responsible for the related expenses, so this matter is not pretentious at all.
"Brother, our old uncle still wants to move up. We don't lack the money to sell meat for this thing. Let's keep some for ourselves and taste it, and let him have the rest. Take it as a gift?" Xiaowen also took the initiative to say it at this time.
Should I say it or not, among the three members of the team, if Xiaotao is at the peak of his strength, then Xiaowen is the representative of the think tank.
In this era, there is no shortage of wild game in the mountains, such as wild boars, roe deer, deer, and even bears. Because of their relatively high density, you can always get them if you want.
But this tiger cub is different. Compared with the several mountain livestock and game mentioned above, this lynx is much rarer. Many hunters who are less skilled and less lucky may not encounter a few in their lifetime. .
