The whole mountain is my hunting ground

On this day, the Zhao family's father and son went to work and went up the mountain. Wang Meilan was not idle at home either.

Although it was just grinding noodles, and Li Ruhai helped sweep the rice, the ground noodles still had to be kneaded.

The noodles that make the sticky bean buns are quite particular.

The sticky bean buns made by many people look good, but they fall apart as soon as they are steamed. This means the noodles are not cooked properly.

This noodle must be very hard.

In a bowl of noodles, stir one-third of the noodles into hot water and stir the other two-thirds into the flour without adding water.

It's very laborious to make this kind of noodles. Sometimes the dough is too dry and the remaining dry noodles can't be put in anymore. So I just wait for a while until the dough is a little softer and then continue to put the dry noodles in.

In this way, the dough that comes out in the end is so hard that it can be used as a stone when thrown out.

Then put the dough in the basin and cover it, then place the basin on the hot stove to cover it with cotton quilt to promote its natural fermentation.

Yes, the sticky bean bun noodles need to rise, but you must not add any fermented substances, otherwise, the noodles will become soft again.

Normally, if two people grind a large stone mill like Zhang's, they can grind thirty to forty kilograms of noodles a day, which is considered good.

A donkey can grind about sixty or seventy kilograms of flour a day, which is much stronger than a human being.

What's amazing is that the donkey that Wang Meilan had placed "high hopes" on today showed that the donkey worked as if it was life-threatening. Li Ruhai, who was adding rice next to him, was tired.

At around three o'clock, when the sun was setting over the mountain, Wang Meilan and others, who had made peace with each other, came out of the house.

The washing basin was placed on the Zhang family's kang. Among the women, only Yang Yufeng and Xu Chunyan each held a small basin. In each basin was a slaughtered and chopped goose.

They are going back to Zhao's house to cook.

"Huh?" Jin Xiaomei, who came out of the house, looked around and immediately shouted: "Ruhai! Li Ruhai!"

To the west from Zhang's house is his villa. To the east, at the door of a house named Zheng, Li Ruhai was chatting with a woman in her forties.

I spent a whole day wandering around with donkeys today. Not to mention how tired I was, Li Ruhai was exhausted.

Unable to wait until work was over, he didn't dare to go too far, so he found someone nearby to chat with.

"Hey! Here we come!" Hearing Jin Xiaomei calling him, Li Ruhai responded loudly, then waved his hand to the woman and whispered: "Mother Zheng, please come into the house quickly, don't let my mother see you!"

"Hey!" The woman agreed, turned around and ran into the courtyard. But as soon as she took two steps, she stopped, looked around blankly, and said, "Why am I running? What can her mother do if she sees me?"

At this time, Li Ruhai, who ran to the door of Zhangjiayuan, met Jin Xiaomei.

"Have you gone to do it?" Jin Xiaomei looked at Li Ruhai with an unkind look and asked.

"What...what am I doing?" Li Ruhai gestured back with his hand and said, "I'm going to the latrine."

"Ah..." Jin Xiaomei did not doubt, she just waved her hand to Li Ruhai and said: "Go, go to the courtyard and let the donkey lead you."

"Hey!" Li Ruhai hurriedly ran next door and untied the donkey rope tied to the stake in the mill shed in Zhang's courtyard.

"Let's go!" Li Ruhai pulled the rope and said, "Go back!"

For some reason, the donkey's ears turned outwards at the same time, and he jerked his body back, almost pulling the rope out of Li Ruhai's hand.

"Huh?" Li Ruhai was startled, then pulled the rope hard with his hand. But at this time, Donkey actually got involved with Li Ruhai.

"Oh?" As he pulled and pulled, Li Ruhai, who was already in a bad mood today, lost his temper. He suddenly stepped back from the shed, kicked his right foot on the ground, raised his left foot to hold the pillar supporting the roof of the shed, and used both hands to push hard. He pulled the donkey's rope and shouted: "Come out!"

"Uh-huh!" The donkey raised its head and walked back. When it took the second step back, Li Ruhai couldn't hold on anymore and was staggered by the donkey.

"What are you doing?" Jin Xiaomei, who was waiting for Li Ruhai to lead the donkey outside the hospital, was shocked when she saw this and shouted: "Stop grooming the donkey!"

While Jin Xiaomei was shouting, Wang Meilan strode towards the courtyard. At this time, Xie Sun, Yang Yufeng, and Xu Chunyan accompanied Zhao Chun who was holding the child and left first. Only the old lady was left shouting from behind: "Daughter, pay attention to that donkey!"

Wang Meilan did not answer, but walked to the shed and shouted: "Ruhai, are you okay?"

Li Ruhai, who had just gotten up from the ground, rubbed his wrist and said, "Auntie, I'm fine. Is this donkey disobedient? Was it good to grind the front before?"

"You come out first!" Wang Meilan shouted. When she saw Li Ruhai coming out of the shed, she asked, "Do you have any donkey hair?"

"It seems not." Li Ruhai replied.

"No?" Wang Meilan tentatively took two steps forward. When she tilted her head and looked into the shed, she said, "I'm going to get hairy. Just wait for your elder brother to come back."

"Ah?" Li Ruhai followed Wang Meilan, and Jin Xiaomei arrived at this time. She pulled Wang Meilan's arm and said, "Sister-in-law, the donkey hair is gone. What's the use of Xiaojun?"

Wang Meilan glanced at the donkey but didn't see it, then took another step forward. While looking into the shed, she replied: "I asked him to carry a gun."

Jin Xiaomei, Li Ruhai: "..."

Wang Meilan saw the donkey in the shed this time. The donkey looked very honest and stood beside the mill.

"What's wrong? Didn't you do enough work?" Wang Meilan seemed to feel fine, so she strode into the shed and said as she walked: "You are very active at work, why aren't you happy to go home?"

After saying this, Wang Meilan walked to the donkey, stretched out her hand to grab the rope and gently pulled it, saying: "Let's go!"

Strangely enough, Wang Meilan pulled the donkey that was wrestling with Li Ruhai and followed him away.

Seeing Wang Meilan leading the donkey out, Jin Xiaomei, Li Ruhai and the old lady were all surprised.

When Wang Meilan brought the donkey home, the Zhao family and his son had not returned yet. After she took the donkey back to the house, she gave it some feed.

"Eat, eat." Seeing the donkey chewing feed, Wang Meilan plucked the donkey's ears with her hands. Seeing the donkey's ears turning back and forth, Wang Meilan found it quite interesting.

As the chimneys of Zhao and Li's family smoked at the same time, the goose stewed in the iron pot and the goose stewed with dried potatoes were put into the pot.

Looking at the clock on the wall, the hour hand had passed five, and a few dogs barked sparsely outside the courtyard.

When the women came out of the house, they saw dogs running in from outside the courtyard, each with their bellies full of food.

"Feng! Chun Yan'er!" Wang Meilan shouted loudly: "Hurry up and light the lamp!"

"No, Mom!" Hearing Wang Meilan's cry, Zhao Jun hurriedly responded: "Don't bother."

"Ah." Hearing what Zhao Jun said, Wang Meilan thought that today's results were average.

But when she walked to the door with a flashlight, she saw Zhao Jun and Jie Chen pulling things from the car.

Moreover, that thing looks quite small.

"Is Ruhai at home?" At this time, Zhao Jun's voice came from outside the courtyard.

"Brother!" Li Ruhai thought that Zhao Jun was going to give him a reward, so he ran out happily.

"Come!" Seeing Li Ruhai coming out, Zhao Jun shouted from the back of the car: "Come quickly and help us pull this pig."

"Oh my god!" Li Ruhai went over to take a look, his eyes widened instantly, and he blurted out: "Such a big wild boar?"

"Ah?" Hearing Li Ruhai's voice, Wang Meilan hurriedly ran out with a flashlight.

When she got outside the house and saw the big wild boar, she couldn't help being frightened.

"Son!" Wang Meilan said anxiously: "Can't I chop this wild boar?"

"No more!" Zhao Jun, who had just pulled the wild boar down, took a breath at the back of the car with his arms akimbo, and said: "Get an ax later, and I will split it open with my little minister here, and pull it into two pieces." , one of them will be taken to Old Xue Sigong before sending my sister home. The other one will be given to my Uncle Zhang, and let them pick it up by themselves when it's over."

Half pulled and half refers to a white-striped pig with its head removed, tail removed and hooves chopped off, and divided into two parts from the middle.

"That's okay!" Wang Meilan heard this and agreed very much with Zhao Jun's proposal, saying: "Our family won't eat this meat, let them get it."

After saying that, Wang Meilan turned back to the hospital and went to the warehouse to get an ax for Zhao Jun.

When Wang Meilan came out and was about to hand the mirrored ax in her hand to Zhao Jun, Zhao Jun didn't take it. He went to the car, opened the passenger door, and took off the shoulder bag from inside.

"Mom!" Zhao Jun handed the bag to Wang Meilan and said, "The lynx skin is here."

"Really?" Wang Meilan's eyes lit up when she heard the word "Lynx Skin". She thrust the big ax into Zhao Jun's hand, took the shoulder bag, turned around and walked into the house.

…

When Zhao Youcai returned to Yong'antun after get off work, his house was filled with joy both inside and outside.

The reason outside the house was that after Zhao Jun shot the cannon eggs, not only were the hunting dogs that went up the mountain full, he also picked some meat from the wild boars and fed them to the ones at home that did not follow him up the mountain.

In the room, Wang Meilan was overjoyed because of the three lynx skins. She immediately waved her hand and asked Zhao Jun and Jie Chen to go to the tuck shop to move boxes of beer and soda, threatening to celebrate tonight.

Li Ruhai took the opportunity to follow them, and on their way home from the store, they met four people returning from get off work.

"What's this?" Zhao Youcai looked at Zhao Jun and Jie Chen carrying a box of drinks, and the beer and drinks were not what he liked to drink.

"My mother is happy today." Zhao Jun responded with a smile.

Zhao Youcai twitched the corner of his mouth and asked, "What happened?"

"Ah, haha." Zhao Jun smiled lightly and said, "I hunted lynx today."

Zhao Youcai: "..."

"Brother, give it to me!" Li Baoyu was even happier when he heard Zhao Jun hunting lynx. He jumped in front of Zhao Jun in two steps, took the soda box from Zhao Jun's hand, and asked: "How big is it?" ?”

"More than fifty kilograms." Zhao Jun smiled.

Hearing Zhao Jun's words, Zhao Youcai glanced at his son. If there weren't too many juniors present, Zhao Youcai would have said, "That's not big."

At this time, Jie Chen, who was carrying the beer, continued next to him: "One weighs ten kilograms and the other twenty kilograms."

Zhao Youcai: "..."

"Hey? Xiaojun." Lin Xiangshun asked Zhao Jun, "Didn't I tell you that you were going to have sex with eggs today?"

"The cannon eggs are also knocked out." Zhao Jun said with a smile: "In the morning, Ruhai told me that there were lynxes in Yongfu, so I went there."

As soon as Zhao Jun said this, Zhao Youcai suddenly turned his head and looked at Li Ruhai.
