Golden Fishing Village

The hare the general caught weighed five or six kilograms. For a rabbit, this weight is average, but for a hare, it is a big rabbit. It is very fat and heavy in the hand.

Ao Muyang also smiled. He went to wash the general's mouth, and then mixed it with goat milk powder and gave it a bowl of dog food as a reward for the harvest he brought back.

The village has both mountains and sea. In the past, when there were few people in the village, life was very prosperous. There were game and wild vegetables in the mountains, and fish, shrimps and crabs in the sea.

When Ao Muyang was a child, they could often catch pheasants and rabbits in the mountains and bring them back to improve their lives.

However, now, whether in the mountains or in the sea, the environment has been severely damaged. There are fewer and fewer wild animals, and fewer and fewer fish, shrimps and crabs. Pheasants and hares in the mountains are already very rare and are almost extinct.

Seeing that the general had caught a rabbit, the group of people marveled: "I walked around the mountain several times this year, but I didn't catch a single rabbit."

"Cao Ta Niang, I have been raising dogs for a year and a half, and I haven't caught a single rabbit."

"It's common for the general to catch him. No one had cared for him before. He always went into the mountains to look for chews. He has experience in this."

Originally, Ao Muyang was preparing to serve the food, but he had to eat this hare. He asked Ao Mufeng to go back to Yujiale to get a small oven and prepare to make a Sichuan-style hand-shredded roasted rabbit.

There were more than ten people who came to the yard, not only the fishermen on the boat, but also a few acquaintances. How could such a rabbit be enough to eat? Fortunately, Ao Mufeng's farmhouse also had rabbits, so Ao Muyang bought one.

Hand-shredded roasted rabbit needs to be marinated. This step is particularly important because it is related to the taste and texture of the roasted rabbit.

Ao Muyang took out salt, ginger powder, pepper powder, thirteen spices, chicken essence, soy sauce and vinegar, etc. He quickly made the sauce and put it on, and said: "Eat slowly first, it will take a while."

Everyone was not in a hurry: "Wait, wait, wait until the rabbit is roasted before we start dinner!"

The sun goes down and the stars descend.

The bright starlight is scattered from the night sky, and the colors are colorful. The flashing splendor is by no means comparable to the urban neon lights.

Far away from the city, and with the sea breeze blowing away the polluted air, the night sky in Longtou Village is particularly quiet and even more brilliant.

The starry sky is vast, like an endless dome hanging above it. The starry sky here is 3D, with large and small stars scattered in an orderly manner, and red and white lights complement each other.

If someone is standing on a mountain and others look up to him, they will feel that he is standing among the stars!

The gentle sea breeze blows away the heat of the day, and the cool water vapor blows in, making your face not cold but just refreshing.

Smelling the aroma of the coriander tree, Ao Fugui's father Ao Qianmao took a sip of herbal tea and said, "No wonder Yangzi doesn't want to demolish it. This hut is quite comfortable to live in."

"It's like going back thirty or forty years ago, right?" Ao Zhibing, an old man in the village, said with a smile as he held his pipe in his mouth.

Ao Fugui said: "The wattage of this lamp is too small. I will replace it with a big lamp for you tomorrow, Yangzi."

Ao Muyang smiled and said: "Forget it, this thing is enough. The metal halide lamp and high-pressure sodium lamp you put on are bright, but they are boring."

Ao Fugui asked blankly: "What kind of balls are the golden lamp and the high-voltage lamp?"

While chatting, the rabbit was almost marinated, and the charcoal fire in the oven was simmering just right. The red smokeless carbon flickered with firelight, and tiny sparks floated in the air when the wind blew.

Mars is like Venus, and the sea breeze is like the spring breeze.

Ao Muyang clamped the two rabbits and put them on. Song Qiumin said, "I'll grease them. You go and take everyone to eat first."

He was not polite about this and said: "Okay, the three-two-one rule for roasting rabbits is to brush oil three times, apply water twice, and sprinkle ingredients once."

Ao Xiaoniu asked: "Why does Uncle Yang still need to apply water?"

Ao Muyang smiled and said: "This way the moisture in the meat is kept, so it tastes tender."

He and Ao Xiaoniu served cold dishes and then hot dishes. Ao Fugui poured wine for everyone, and the atmosphere in the yard became lively.

"Hey, Dieffenbachia, I'm craving for this bite."

"Yangzi's fish jelly is delicious."

"And pickled pepper fish skin? Ha, this is a good thing to go with wine."

"Hey Wocao, golden eel? This is a big investment. The eel segments and the eel soup add up to a few hundred yuan for the golden eel?"

Ao Muyang asked: "Is golden eel so expensive now?"

"One to two hundred yuan per pound. This is the market. Golden eels in restaurants are more expensive than other Australian lobsters and king crabs!"

Ao Muyang patted Ao Fugui on the shoulder and said, "Then why don't you sell it?"

Ao Fugui chewed the fish skin in his mouth and said: "Selling the dried balls? You drink a lot of wine here, I will bring it over and you will have more dishes, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat. This fish skin is very spicy and fragrant!"

They were eating when the general looked towards the door. Someone opened the door and said with a smile: "Ha, are you eating?"

Ao Muyang saw that he was an elder in the village named Ao Qianyao. His sons Ao Wenchang and Ao Muyang were classmates. They were the only two in their generation who were admitted to college, but Ao Muyang did not go to school.

Seeing Ao Qianyao, Ao Zhibing smiled and said, "You have a good nose. Did you follow the scent?"

Ao Qianyao smiled and said: "This fragrance is too overbearing. Bring a bottle of wine and sit with you."

As he spoke, he flashed a wine bottle in his hand.

When the general saw him coming with wine, he wagged his tail and sat down.

Ao Muyang added a stool for Ao Qianyao to sit down, and the latter said: "Actually, I came here for other things. I came to Bao to report the news. I looked at the village chief on the way, and he seemed to be planning to come too."

Most of the villagers in Longtou Village are annoyed with Ao Zhiyi, whose position as village chief is not secure. He relies on a relative who is an official in the town and the help of the fishing boat Longtou. In addition, there is really no suitable candidate to be the leader in the village.

"Has he sold all the fish? He sold them quickly today." Ao Fugui curled his lips and said, "Damn, as long as he comes back, he will definitely eat for free."

Ao Muyang pointed to the door and said, "General, go out and watch the door. Everyone will eat quietly now. Let's not talk about it."

The general went out, and it started barking soon. Ao Zhiyi's voice rang out from outside the door: "It's a bitch, this bear dog barks, if it barks again, I will stew you!"

"Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof!" The barking became louder and louder.

"Yangzi, are you home? Drag the dog away, I want to talk to you about something, go pick up someone..."

"Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof!"

"Where's the person in the house? Someone come out and get the dog - Damn it, I'm leaving, you dead dog, don't come over, get out of the way!"

After a while, the general's shouting stopped, Ao Muyang raised his glass and said, "Come on, drink, it's clean now."

"Drink, drink."

"Well, this eel is well fried, the meat is tender and tasty, delicious!"

"Xiao Niu, come, take a bite..."

"The child is still young, his grandfather, forget it, wait until he goes to college before drinking." Song Qiumin, who was roasting rabbits, quickly defended his son, but Ao Xiaoniu himself was very greedy.

The fishermen are very patient when drinking, a piece of dried fish and a small bowl of wild vegetables can last a whole night, and they were halfway through drinking, and the roasted rabbit meat was finally ready.

Ao Muyang tore it apart, and threw the four rabbit front legs to the general, who ate it and shook his head and wagged his tail.

The roasted rabbit meat was served, and another round of finger-guessing games started.

They drank until midnight, and then everyone dispersed. Ao Muyang was too lazy to clean up, so he closed the door, looked at the sky, and went to sleep with the general in his arms.
