Chapter 307 Making Beef Jerky
No matter how shocked everyone was, the yak was finally brought back.
The uncle who was helping to look after the herd was shocked when he saw the yaks.
For such a big cow, you can make a lot of food just by processing various internal organs.
So Song Wei told Uncle Yu Wei and called other herdsmen over to eat meat together.
For the Nankang Brigade, the prey hunted on the grassland can be handled by themselves.
After all, they sometimes go out for herding for half a month, and it is impossible to bring them back to the group every time they catch prey.
Hasanmu was shocked when he saw the yak.
“How did you do that? Where did you find such a big yak.”
Song Wei: “Over there in the snow leopard territory.”
The distance there is still quite far, and it is a dangerous area. Herders generally dare not go there.
Although the snow leopard family is gone now, there are other large carnivores.
The men began to process the beef, and Song Wei took some meat to find the snow leopard mother.
After all, they were hunting in its territory. The blue sheep they ate last time were technically the prey of the snow leopard mother, so they had to leave some for it this time.
Others have no objection. Song Wei hunted the prey, and it is her business how she wants to distribute it.
Now Snow Leopard no longer rejects her as much as before.
I was forced to become familiar with it by Song Wei.
The snow leopard mother was lying on the ground licking her wounds. Animals living in the wild have relatively strong recovery abilities. The wounds on the snow leopard mother's body are now basically scabbing.
But I can’t move to a large extent yet, and the wound will easily collapse.
Snow leopard mother quickly smelled the fresh beef brought by Song Wei and stretched her neck to wait.
"Eat, you are in for a treat today. This is beef that even you snow leopards dare not hunt easily."
The snow leopard mother only lowered her head to smell it, then buried her head and started to nibble.
The snow leopard mother obviously likes the smell of fresh beef. She shakes her ears and exudes an aura of relaxation and happiness.
The three cubs also screamed and rushed into the basin, then lowered their heads and picked up the meat and started to chew it with their little baby teeth.
Unfortunately, the yak meat was too big and difficult for them to chew. After trying for a long time, they only left shallow teeth marks on the beef.
The action of grabbing food and the roaring sound are quite powerful, but the damage dealt is 0.5.
In the end, he made them into minced meat and put them in a small bowl. Song Wei picked up the three little ones and put them over. The three furry little guys started eating with their heads next to each other. .
After eating the minced meat, I rushed to my mother's house to drink milk, and my stomach was full and round.
This food looks really good at first glance.
Although the five little wolf cubs do not have milk from their biological mothers, they can still eat goat milk until they are full.
The little eldest brother and the five wolf cubs ate and drank together, and their relationship was already very good.
It is very harmonious to mix among the wolf pups.
The little wolf cubs also regard the little boss as their companion.
The little guys are full of energy at this age. When they see the little boss following humans to graze, they also rush into the pack of wolves and howl in the same manner.
However, it turns out that not all canines have the herding gene.
These five little newborn calves were not afraid of tigers. They rushed into the flock of sheep fiercely. Not only did they not help, they were almost trampled by the sheep that were much taller than them.
Song Wei ate beef brisket stewed with potatoes and came out to eat. With quick eyes and quick hands, he caught the little guys who were causing chaos among the sheep.
"You are here to do a disservice."
The five little guys were pressed and stood in a row, looking at her pitifully with drooped eyes.
Song Wei knocked a little wolf cub on the head.
"It's no use pretending to be pitiful. Just stand there and face the wall and think about your fault."
But it's surprising that such a small wolf cub can stand still. After standing for a while, they lie down or start to run away.
He screamed when Song Wei carried him back.
Song Wei was actually playing with them.
When I saw the wolf cub starting to open its mouth and flash its teeth, I immediately pinched it with my fingers.
The little wolf cub stuck out his butt and struggled in various ways.
Or turn the other wolf cub over to expose its belly. Pressing its belly won’t turn it over no matter what.
Yu Wei and the others looked at it and shook their heads in amusement: "This is not training the wolf, this is clearly playing."
But the wolf cub is still too young, so it is indeed difficult to train it.
There was still a lot of beef left after the meal.
Forget about one meal, I can’t finish all the beef today.
Without a freezer, the meat cannot be stored for a long time.
So Song Wei decided to make beef jerky from the remaining beef.
Yu Wei and the others naturally came to help after eating the meat.
And they are the best at making beef jerky.
After returning from a tour, everyone cut the beef into evenly sized strips, then marinated it in the prepared spicy sauce for a period of time, and then hung it on the drying rack to dry.
This will take a few days, and it will have to be steamed and dried later.
The process is a bit troublesome, but the beef jerky preserved in this way is indeed delicious.
The jerky produced by such a big cow is quite spectacular.
Of course, the cow's hooves, heads and internal organs were left behind, salted and air-dried. In the next few days, their meals basically consisted of beef.
Song Wei was also generous. At least the herdsmen who followed him drank the soup.
Of course these herders did not come empty-handed, they all brought their own food.
When leaving after eating, Feng Tingxuan also asked Yu Wei to give some to his friends.
Friends were made in the bullpen. They were all people of good character who showed themselves in that environment. They were also framed and reported, or were demoted for some special reasons that were not crimes.
He is eating well now, and after asking for Song Wei's opinion, he divided the excess food out. He can help as much as he can.
As evening approaches, everyone collects the beef jerky and puts it in a clean box to be dried the next day.
Food has been provided in the past two days, and the snow leopard mother can stand up and walk around.
That night, the snow leopard mother left the place where she usually slept when no one was paying attention, leaving three little ones behind.
Song Wei happened to be awake at that time. Hearing the chirping cry of the little snow leopard, he walked over but did not find the snow leopard mother.
She picked up the three little ones and searched around but couldn't find the snow leopard mother.
After that, he played with the little snow leopard for a while. When they all fell asleep again, Song Wei thought that the snow leopard’s mother had lost her baby and ran away.
It didn’t come back until midnight .
The one who came back with prey was just a marmot.
But this also means that it can hunt on its own.
Under the moonlight, the snow leopard's eyes seemed to glow, which looked quite penetrating.
“I thought you didn’t want the cubs to run away.”
The snow leopard held the dead marmot in its mouth, glanced at the three heartless cubs, and lay down a few feet away from Song Wei Not too far away the prey begins to be eaten.
The crunching sound was eerie in the night.
One marmot is not enough for a snow leopard, but it ate meat given by Song Wei before, so it is not hungry.
The snow leopard mother patiently licked all the blood off her mouth, then went over and took the three cubs back to the nest.
