Chapter 80 Prey
Yue Pengcheng has been living on the mountain. He follows everyone to the mountain every day, making pine towers, picking walnuts, picking mountain grapes, and picking Schisandra chinensis. Anyway, he has something to be busy every day. Now, Yue Pengcheng, who has grown up in the town since childhood and has never been in contact with mountains and forests, was so happy. Even if he was so tired every day that his back hurts, he would follow Wen Han and Jinghan up the mountain with a lot of energy the next day. After three or four days, he became accustomed to these labors and was not so uncomfortable.
Time flies, and it is August 15th. Because I heard that people from the village of Sixteen came to get a bait, Yue Pengcheng didn't even go home on the Mid-Autumn Festival and wanted to watch the bait on the mountain. Since everyone said that, the Xu family didn't want to chase him. So Chen asked Wenchang and the old man to go to the town to buy a lot of things for holidays, and the family prepared to celebrate the holidays.
Wenchang had already agreed with Baiweilou that he would not come to deliver fish when the autumn harvest was busy. Although Manager Sun was reluctant to leave, he knew that the busy people of the autumn harvest were not good enough to force Wenchang to come to deliver fish again. He just said that he was waiting for the autumn to be busy. If he could still get off the net, he would try to send a few more trips. The fish was just in the morning, and several big fish were left for the holidays, and the rest were sent to the town.
Wen Han, Wencheng, Jinghan and others ran to the trap outside the stick early to go around. There were often some prey falling into these traps, and the traps were dug deeper, and ordinary animals basically had no return. There were a total of fourteen or five traps, and everyone checked them one by one.
In a trap in the northeast corner, the children found two rabbits, and then in the next one, they found a roe deer. The children were happy and the harvest was quite small. Unexpectedly, when they were wandering south, they found a big deer in the trap. This was a male sika deer, which was quite big. Fortunately, the trap was dug very big, so the deer did not run away. It seemed that it fell in last night. The deer had been stabbed by the spikes in the trap and was bleeding to death.
This guy is too big for the children to get it, so Wenhan asked Wenxuan to go back and call Zhixin and Zhiming over. Only their adults could get it. Wenxuan ran away to find his father.
Not long after, Zhixin and Zhiming came. When they saw the big guy underground, Zhiming couldn't help but exclaim, "What a big guy. This thing is very useful."
Zhixin tied a rope around his waist, tied the other end to a tree, and then went down carefully, avoiding the sharp thorns underground, and tied the rope to the deer. Then everyone tried hard to pull the deer up, and Zhixin also held it up. After a lot of effort, he pulled the deer up. "This guy seems to have 150 or 60 kilograms, but it's heavy enough." Zhiming wiped his sweat and said.
Yue Pengcheng is even more a person who has eaten venison meat and never seen what the deer looks like. This time he has gained some knowledge. He stepped forward and touched the deer's body, and then touched the two antlers twice. At this time, the antlers had become boned. "It turns out that the deer looks like this, and I have never seen it before."
Jinghan smiled, "Brother Pengcheng, we have something good to eat tonight. Let's eat venison tonight. Daddy, go back later and discuss, will we eat barbecue tonight?" With so much wild game, it would be a pity if we don't eat barbecue. When Jinghan thinks about it, the saliva will flow out.
"You girl, just want to eat. Go back and discuss with your grandma later. I can't make the decision." Zhixin and Zhiming tied the deer's body with a rope, then went to find a piece of wood, and put it under the rope. The two brothers lifted it up and walked back.
Wen Han and Jinghan didn't go back, so they continued to see the traps. I don't know what happened today. There were preys in the other traps, a few hares and a fox, which made the children so happy that they carried the prey home happily.
When they arrived at home, Brother Zhixin and his brothers were peeling the deer. The two antlers had been sawed off and put aside. The deer was covered with treasures, including venison, blood, deer tendons, deer bones, and deer whip. No matter which one, they were all good things. Brothers and his brothers were careful to handle each one, especially Zhiming, who cared about these things more than gold and silver.
After dealing with the deer and dealing with the rest of the prey, Jinghan ran to discuss with Chen about eating barbecue. Chen thought for a while and felt that Yue Pengcheng was on the mountain, just like his family, and there was nothing to be entertained. He should be able to like this barbecue, so he nodded and agreed.
"That's great, I can have barbecue tonight." Jinghan jumped up with joy.
"Look at you, how can you look like a girl? Well, your father has almost done it. What do you want to eat? Hurry up and find your third aunt to pick the slices of meat and marinate them with ingredients, and wait until it's time to use. Let's light a fire in this yard tonight and eat around the barbecue." Chen couldn't help laughing as he looked at the children's joyful look. Isn't life just for fun? Besides, today's Mid-Autumn Festival is also time to be lively.
After hearing what his grandmother said, Jinghan quickly went to Zhu and asked her to cut out all the meat she wanted and marinate it with some seasonings. The children helped to help them, and looked at the pieces of meat, and felt that they could not control their saliva.
"You go into the forest to get some wooden sticks later. Don't be too thick, just like the thickness of your fingers. Skin it and cut it into sharp ones. Let's keep it for the meat to wear at night. Do you understand?" Zhu ordered.
"I understand." The children shouted in unison.
On this side, Zhixin was nailing the deer tendons to the wooden board, so that the deer tendons would be straight when they dry. Chen came to Zhixin and whispered, "Boss, you clean up the deer tendons and deer whip. When the young master of Yue left, he would bring them with him. When they came, they gave him some gifts, and we had nothing to do. Start ginseng tomorrow, and find two big ones for him to carry. How many of them are considered to be our thoughts. Look at this, Master Yue and our Wenhan and Wencheng are getting along well. For such a family, we should make friends with each other. We don't keep it up, but we can't just ask for other people's things and don't give back the gifts." The old lady still cared about these things.
"Oh, mom, don't worry, my son understands it." Zhixin nodded. The young master of the Yue family is very easy-going and has no airs at all. He gets along well with his own children. Just for this, he has to prepare some gifts for others. Moreover, although these things are valuable in the eyes of others, they seem to be easy to get, and they seem to be more attentive.
At noon, Wenchang and the old man came back from the town and brought a lot of things, including pork, white flour, rice, mooncakes and green pears. In addition, they bought a lot of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. They didn't have to live without these. When the old man saw these prey at home, he asked what he was going to do. Chen quickly told him about his plan to eat barbecue tonight.
The old man nodded, "It's time, I'll get a kick tomorrow. I've been busy all this year, and everyone is greedy. Have a good meal and then I'll be very energetic tomorrow."
Since I ordered barbecue tonight, Chen put up the pork he bought, and then everyone no longer had to make dumplings and prepare to order food.
The old man said that he had been busy for a while and the children were very tired, so he didn't have to go up the mountain in the afternoon and rest for a day. Wenhan and the others also understood that the old man was afraid that Yue Pengcheng would be exhausted, so everyone rested in the house after lunch.
"It's rare to take a break. It's noon, so we have nothing to do. Let's sleep and get up and go to the riverside fish later." Jinghan took out the quilt and gave Jingwan and Jingxian one by one. Everyone lay on the kang, and they really fell asleep without much.
The sleep was sweet. Before the hour, everyone woke up. Wenhan called Jinghan and the others, saying that they were going to play by the river. Jinghan and the others quickly left the house and went to the river with their brothers.
Xue and Zhu at home have already marinated the slices of meat to taste. Now they are putting meat on the wooden sticks. The sister-in-law and the sister-in-law are working and laughing. "Sister-in-law, it's better to be on the mountain. How could they ever think of barbecue before? Look at this, if these meats are taken to the restaurant, how many taels of silver would you buy? Let's eat them." Zhu felt a little regretful.
"Yingzi, don't say that. First, our family lives in the mountains, and it's easier to make these things. Second, the children are busy this autumn, and it's rare that they remember them and let them satisfy them. Third, the young master of the Yue family has been here for a few days. You see, he doesn't pick on food, and he follows us with everything we eat. People eat much better at home than ours. Today is the holiday, and I think that no matter how good we make it, we can't catch up with theirs. But this barbecue is different. Even if they can get roasted, there are probably not so many wild animals. Our mother did this right." Xue was wearing meat on her hands, and then told Zhu about some of the things that happened.
"I understand these things, but I just feel a little reluctant to let go." Zhu smiled. "If we say that our family is quite a bit different. In other people's families, there are generally no one who loves children as much as ours? If those old-fashioned people know, they wouldn't say that we spoiled our children to heaven?" Zhu's words are true. In this year, many families have raised their children like animals, giving them stutters, and then they have to work every day. There are not many people who love children as much as the Xu family, and they rely on their children in everything.
