The whole mountain is my hunting ground

Lynx has a strong body shape.

Climbing over mountains and climbing trees and rock climbing are all a matter of course.

After peeling off the skin, it was really a piece of tendon meat.

Xing San cooks very vigorously. He uses a small hand ax to chop the meat and bones into large pieces and puts them into the pot under cold water.

When the water boiled, Xing San picked up a green onion from the bottom of the wooden stand, peeled off the outer skin of the green onion without washing it, broke it off from the white side with his hands, broke off two sections and threw them into the pot.

This meat has been cooked for an hour, but it can't even be pierced with chopsticks.

It took nearly two and a half hours to finish.

Xing San took the meat out of the pot with a fence, and washed the meat with cold water in the vat. Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu stepped forward to help. Each of the three took a knife and shaved the meat down from the bones.

As for Xu Changlin, the old man was the most carefree, sitting cross-legged on the kang and eating jujubes.

Round dates are just wild kiwis, but they don’t have hair on the outside, so you don’t need to peel them off when eating.

It tastes sour and sweet. If you wait until the frost in autumn and then pick it off and eat it, the taste will be even more delicious.

It's not easy for people in mountainous areas. They may not be able to eat an apple all year round, so round dates have become the most commonly eaten fruit by mountain people.

Of course, it is impossible to eat fresh ones at this time. The round dates that Xing San took out were those he picked up from the mountains when winter first came.

The fruit was already frozen at that time. He brought it back and buried it in the snow in front of the house. It was not until today when he was burying the roe deer in the snow that he accidentally dug it out.

Xing San took two handfuls into the house and put them in a basin. After adding water to the basin, less than half an hour later, the round dates were soft and not fully melted. There was still ice in them, but they were sour, sweet and refreshing. It's delicious.

After the three of them had shaved off all the meat, even though it was packed into a pot, the lynx weighing more than fifty kilograms had to be bled, skinned, and deboned. The head, claws, and tail were removed, and after it was blanched, it was only There are about ten kilograms of meat left.

Xing San followed Xu Changlin's instructions, put dried chili peppers into the meat, and stir-fried over high heat.

The meat of wild beasts in the mountains is more or less smelly, and the same goes for lynx, but as Xing San stir-fried it, Zhao Jun and others smelled a special smell of meat.

Xing San lived in the mountains and had no condiments. He poured some soy sauce, sprinkled a handful of salt and put it in a basin.

A large pot full of meat was steaming and fragrant, and was brought to the table by Xing San. Li Baoyu quickly brushed the pot, and then Zhao Jun put sorghum rice into the pot to stew the rice.

This is preparation for steamed sorghum rice.

"Man, come quickly!" At this time, Xing San greeted the two of them. He and Xu Changlin were already sitting on the kang and eating and drinking.

Zhao Jun got on the kang, stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat from the basin. Because Xu Changlin said to fry large pieces, the basin was full of large pieces of meat, each piece was five or six centimeters long.

"Well, it smells good!" Before Zhao Jun could eat, Li Baoyu's praise came from beside him.

Xing San took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "This is my first time eating this thing. Don't tell me, the taste is really special."

Since they all said it was delicious, Zhao Jun also took a bite. The meat was just like what Xu Changlin said. It was all garlic clove meat, just like the meat on both sides of the back of the fish. It was just that when the fish meat was cooked, it tasted like meat. Shredded, and this meat is particularly firm.

Zhao Jun chewed it carefully, and Xing San added a lot of chili peppers to suppress most of the smell, but could not suppress the slight sourness in the meat.

It was sour and spicy, accompanied by the aroma of meat. The four of them gathered around the big basin and ate the meat.

After having enough food and wine, I turned off the kerosene lamp and went to sleep.

When they woke up the next morning, Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu gathered in front of the clay stove to bake dumplings. Zhao Jun said: "This is that Fang'er, look at it."

Zhao Jun opened it and saw more than a dozen medicines neatly written on it. Behind each medicine name, there were corresponding dosages.

As soon as Zhao Jun saw the handwriting, he knew that the person who wrote this prescription was not an ordinary person.

He kept the recipe in his mind and gave it back to Xing San. Xing San got on the kang and stuffed the note back into his pocket.

When Xing San got off the kang, he took the box off the wooden shelf and took out a matchbox. He opened it and saw that it was filled with a box of medicine, so he handed it to Zhao Jun.

Zhao Jun thanked Xing San and ate baked dumplings and muddy porridge in the cellar before he and Li Baoyu said goodbye and left.

When they left Dijiangzi, it was just after seven o'clock. Since Xu Changlin was not brought with them, the two of them rushed on their way without wasting time. Before nine o'clock, they had already arrived at the village entrance.

Looking at the four dogs running into the village, Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu did not go home, but walked directly to the station.

After waiting at the station, within three or five minutes, the small train came slowly.

The two boarded the train, found a corner in the carriage and stayed there until they reached the stop, then got off and went straight to the state-owned store.

It’s still the same store, the same two long tables, and the same two staff members from last time.

But today, there were several leather sellers standing in front of the long table.

An old man with a goatee took out a roll of yellow leaves from a hemp bag. One of the two employees counted, and the other kept accounts and paid.

The old man got the money, put it in the inner pocket of his cotton-padded jacket, and walked out with a smile on his face.

As soon as the old man left, a man in his forties came forward and took out mostly yellow leaves and a few gray ones.

He took the money and left.

After they left, in front of the long table, apart from Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu, there was only a man wearing a blue cotton-padded jacket and holding a nine-point bag.

"Are you here again?" The male employee behind the long table greeted him. The two of them seemed very familiar.

The man smiled, took out a small cloth bag from his pocket, poured out two pieces of dried bear bile and handed it over.

The male employee took the bear bile and looked at it twice, then handed it to the female employee next to him. The female employee took the bear bile with one hand and took out a small plastic box from the drawer of her desk with the other hand.

Opening the plastic box, the female employee took out a scale and placed it on the long table.

She picked up a bear bile, placed it on one end of the scale, and began to toss the weights.

When the scales were balanced, she took off the bear bile, pulled a piece of paper from the table behind her, wrote the weight of the bear bile on the paper, and then placed the bear bile on the paper.

Then, another one was called, and the same thing happened again.

After weighing the bear bile, the female employee took another piece of paper and did a multiplication operation on it. After the result came out, she said to the bear bile owner: "Two bear bile, three thousand one hundred and eighty."

"How many?"

"How many?"

Two "How many", one was said by the owner of the bear bile, and the other was shouted by Li Baoyu who was watching the excitement.

The bear bile master's voice was not loud, but Li Baoyu's voice was quite loud. Not only that, his voice was also very sudden, startling the three of them.

Seeing the two salesmen and the bear bile owner looking at him, Li Baoyu was not afraid of the stage and asked directly: "What is bear bile? So expensive? My uncle is here to sell it, why didn't you pay such a high price?"

Don't blame Li Baoyu for shouting. When Zhao Youcai came to sell bear bile the year before last, the copper bile was not sold at this price.

Moreover, it seemed that the male employee and the bear bile owner were acquaintances just now, which made Li Baoyu think too much.

Li Baoyu was a tall man with a loud voice, which confused the two employees for a while.

The owner of the bear bile was also a little confused, but he was not shouted out by Li Baoyu, but was a little surprised by the price.

Just listen to him ask: "When did the black blind man's guts become so valuable?"

"The price just increased three days ago." The male employee replied after regaining his composure.

The female employee on the side gave Li Baoyu a hard look, and then asked the bear bile owner: "Can you sell these two, 3,180?"

"Sell! Sell!" The bear bile owner nodded hastily.

After hearing what he said about selling, the female employee reached out and took down a piece of bear bile and the paper underneath it, and simply wrapped the bear bile in a package with the paper that recorded the weight of the bear bile.

The same goes for the other one.

The male employee took out four stacks of unity from the drawer. He first put three stacks in front of the bear bile owner, and then took out eighteen pieces from another stack.

When the male employee handed the eighteen large sheets to the bear bile owner, he said, "It's been checked."

"Hey, hey." The bear bile owner took the money and counted it awkwardly, with a smile on his face.

It's all his money, and the male employees don't care what he does to check. They just ask Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu, "What are you two selling?"

Zhao Jun reached out and pulled Li Baoyu. At this time, the two boys were looking straight at the man checking the money. He didn't even hear what the male employee said to him.

After being pulled by Zhao Jun, Li Baoyu turned back to look at Zhao Jun, glared, and asked: "Brother, what happened?"

"Take the leather out."

"Hey." Li Baoyu hurriedly took out the roll of lynx skin given by Xu Changlin from his shoulder bag and handed it to the male employee first.

When the male employee saw that the thing was wrapped in cloth, he untied the rope and opened the outer cloth. He was stunned.

"Lynx!" After all, he was from the city. The male employee didn't call him a tiger cub, but called him "Lynx".

As soon as he called lynx, the female employee sitting next to her stood up immediately, came over and reached out to take it, saying: "Show me."

Not only her, but the man who was checking the money at the side didn't even check the money at this time. Like Li Baoyu just now, his eyes were following the movement of the lynx's skin.

The female employee took the rolled lynx skin and unfolded it on the long table. A piece of lynx skin appeared in front of everyone, complete and dry.

Seeing that the two employees were looking at and touching the leather without saying anything, Li Baoyu asked, "What's going on? Do you want to accept it or not?"

As soon as Li Baoyu said this, the male employee raised his head and glanced at Li Baoyu. He said nothing at first, but then quickly nodded and said: "Take it, take it!"

After saying that, he turned around and took out the tape measure from the drawer, pulled it away from his head with a squeak, came to the long table, and measured the lynx skin up, down, left and right.

After waiting for the measurement, the male employee took a piece of paper to write down the length and width, and then said to Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu: "Little brothers, please wait a moment, I will make a call."

After saying that, he turned around and walked to the back. There was another room inside.

After a while, the male employee left and came back. As soon as he came back, he said to Zhao Jun: "Three thousand two, can you sell it?"
