The whole mountain is my hunting ground

When Zhao Jun returned home, Wang Meilan was chopping sauerkraut in front of the stove in the outer room. Looking at the wild boar meat in the cold water basin next to him, Zhao Jun knew that he was about to make dumplings again.

Wang Meilan stopped her knife, looked at Zhao Jun and said, "Go inside, your dad wants to see you for something."

"Ah?" Zhao Jun was startled.

When Zhao Jun entered the east room, he saw Zhao Youcai wearing a big quilt, sitting cross-legged on the kang, holding a large steaming tea pot, blowing on it, and sipping water.

"Dad, are you feeling better?"

Zhao Youcai put down the teapot and looked up at Zhao Jun. Without answering, he asked, "Your mother said that boy Zhang Laibao has been hanging around our door these past two days. Didn't he come to see you?"

"Ah!" Zhao Jun responded: "He bought some dogs in Lingnan and wanted me to help him drag the dogs."

"Son." As soon as Zhao Jun finished his words, he heard Wang Meilan talking behind him. Zhao Jun turned around and saw Wang Meilan standing at the door with a kitchen knife, saying: "Children of the old Zhang family, please don't contact them. Zhang Zhanshan and If your father doesn't deal with it, his son will definitely destroy you."

Zhao Youcai originally wanted to say something, but he suddenly found that Wang Meilan had to say everything he wanted to say.

"Mom, don't worry, I know what's going on."

"What do you think!" When Zhao Jun heard what Zhao Jun said, Zhao Youcai suddenly felt angry and said angrily: "There is no good person in his old Zhang family. You should be careful, lest he come to steal your dog one day."

"No." Wang Meilan continued talking from the side: "When your eldest sister was born that year, your father accompanied me to the hospital. There was no one in our family, so Zhang Zhanshan came over to steal our dog."

"I know that." Zhao Jun said with a smile: "I heard that I, Uncle Li, watched him. I'm glad he didn't let me, Uncle Li, beat him to death."

"You're still laughing." Zhao Youcai said, "If you catch him, you can beat him however you want. If you can't catch him, he will sneak your dog into the mountains and hide it in any shack. I'll see if you can find it."

"I can really find it." Zhao Jun smiled.

"Huh?" Zhao Youcai's eyes lit up and he moved his butt towards Zhao Jun.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Jun pushed his hand to stop him and said: "Dad, you have a cold, don't infect it to me."

"You little brat!"

Zhao Jun laughed and asked, "Dad, do you know the leader named Jiang in Lengchang 42?"

Zhao Youcai shook his head.

Zhao Jun said: "He is the brother-in-law of Zhang Zhanshan's two aunts and brothers."

"Ah!" Zhao Jun said this, and Zhao Youcai understood. He squinted his eyes, as if he thought of something happy, and grinned wider and wider.

…

The next day, Zhao Jun was still woken up very early by Zhao Hong.

"Brother, get up quickly, the dumplings are all in the pot."

Zhao Jun wanted to be lazy for a while longer, but suddenly remembered the agreement he made with Zhang Laibao yesterday, and hurriedly got up from the kang, put on his cotton-padded jacket, and went to the ground to wash up and eat.

Because Zhao Youcai has not recovered from his cold, the kang table can only be placed in Zhao Jun's room.

Three plates of steaming dumplings were placed on the table. Wang Meilan served a bowl of dumpling soup to each of the three siblings, and murmured to Zhao Na who was sitting on the kang: "The original soup turns into the original food."

But Zhao Na was still young and didn't seem to understand very well. She just gestured in the air with a chopstick in one hand.

Wang Meilan turned around and saw Zhao Jun coming in with soy sauce bottles and vinegar bottles, and said to Zhao Jun: "Son, take care of your sister."

"Hey, Mom, I understand." Zhao Jun agreed, but seeing Wang Meilan walking towards the outhouse, he hurriedly chased her to the door and asked, "Mom, what are you and my dad eating?"

"Your dad said he can't eat it. I have some dumpling soup left at the bottom of the pot. Let him boil some corn noodle porridge." Wang Meilan said, "Hurry up and eat it while it's hot."

Zhao Jun knew that Wang Meilan always accompanied Zhao Youcai to eat whatever he ate at home. Knowing that he couldn't be persuaded, he went back to the house to take care of his two younger sisters.

The dumplings that had just come out of the pot were steaming. Zhao Jun picked up the plate containing the dumplings with one hand and pushed the plate into the palm of his other hand.

The plate hit the palm, and the dumplings on the plate shook. The dumplings that were stuck together fell apart instantly.

This prevents the dumplings from sticking together.

After several times in a row, Zhao Jun put down the plate of dumplings and picked up the other two plates in turn, doing the same thing.

Then, Zhao Jun took the small bowl in front of Zhao Na, put a dumpling in her bowl, then used chopsticks to clamp the center of the dumpling, and used chopsticks to pinch the dumpling open and cut it in half.

In this way, Zhao Jun picked up six dumplings for Zhao Na in a row, and the bowl was filled with the bottom of the bowl.

Zhao Jun handed the bowl back to Zhao Na. Zhao Na put two chopsticks in one hand, separated them awkwardly, picked up the dumplings and put them in her mouth.

The dumplings were no longer hot when Zhao Jun opened them. Zhao Na took half a bite and ate them deliciously.

At this time, Zhao Jun looked up and saw Zhao Hong looking at him eagerly.

Zhao Jun quickly took Zhao Hong's bowl and opened ten dumplings for her.

When taking the bowl, Zhao Hong smiled at Zhao Jun, picked up a dumpling from the plate, and handed it to Zhao Jun's bowl with great effort.

Zhao Jun picked up the dumplings and stuffed them into his mouth.

Wild boar stuffed with sauerkraut.

Wang Meilan used soybean oil and stuffing this time. Even though there was enough wild boar meat at home, the dumpling filling was still half sauerkraut and half pork.

Farmhouse sauerkraut has a good taste even after it is cooked, and the slightly sour fragrance is mixed with the meaty aroma, which makes people appetizing.

After Zhao Jun finished his meal, he looked at the clock hanging on the wall and saw that it was just past seven o'clock. He got up and started to change clothes.

After he finished changing his clothes and was sitting on the edge of the kang wearing leggings, Li Baoyu came.

Li Baoyu came into the room to see Zhao Jun and asked: "Brother, today we are going to fight the bear bully, shall we not bring the jumping cat set?"

Zhao Jun looked up at Li Baoyu and asked in confusion: "Who told you we were going to fight Xiong Ba?"

Li Baoyu was confused: "No...didn't you tell Zhang Laibao yesterday?"

Zhao Jun smiled and said, "Do you believe what I said to him?"

Li Baoyu scratched his head and suddenly seemed to have some realization. He smiled and said, "I understand. Are you trying to trick him? Let him wait in Dongtou for a day!"

"You really think he is stupid." Zhao Jun said with a smile: "He has to run away if he can't wait for an hour."

"An hour is enough!" Li Baoyu thought he had guessed correctly, "I'll go back and get the jumping cat cover right now."

"Wait a minute." Zhao Jun hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't take it. Let's set the trap another day."

"Ah? What about today?"

Zhao Jun said: "Take a rope and tie Daqing up. No matter what happens, don't let it go."

The more Li Baoyu listened, the more confused he became. If he didn't beat the bear bully, he didn't jump into the cat trap, and he had to take the dog with him, what on earth was he going to do?

Li Baoyu followed Zhao Jun out of the house in confusion. According to Zhao Jun's instructions, he only tied up Daqing with a rope, but the other three dogs were not tied up, and they just walked out of the house.

As soon as he left the house, Li Baoyu was a little confused when he saw that Zhao Jun was still going to Tuntungtou.

He was very anxious about this: "Brother, do you really want to help Zhang Laibao drag the dog?"

"No way."

"Then let's go this way, won't we meet him soon?"

Zhao Jun smiled and said: "Just meet him. If you don't meet him, how can you kill his two dogs?"
