The whole mountain is my hunting ground

Jie Chen's voice was very low, but Zhao Jun was right in front of him, could he still not hear it?

Zhao Jun held the pork in one hand and pushed his ministers back with the other. Then he walked towards Ma Dafu and said, "Uncle Ma, I will give you a piece of meat from the wild boar I killed yesterday."

Since getting engaged to Ma Ling, Zhao Jun has been hunting a lot, but he hasn't brought many prey to the Ma family. He just wants to buy less gifts during festivals.

This is a matter of proportion. There is an old saying in the Northeast: whatever foundation is laid, it will be the foundation.

These two people have brought a lot of meat to the Ma family even before they get married. What will happen after they get married?

Seeing that he is getting married in the next year, Zhao Jun has always kept a good sense of proportion.

But today, his family sent dumplings to Mrs. Jiang. If they didn't bring a piece of meat to the Ma family, the old Ma family would have to think: We are all going to be a family, so why are we not as good as outsiders?

So, Zhao Jun brought a piece of wild boar meat to Ma's house, and the front trough didn't have much, only about five kilograms.

"Good boy." Ma Dafu reached out to take the meat and smiled at Zhao Jun. Then he saw Jie Chen behind Zhao Jun and said, "Quick, lead your friend into the house and sit for a while."

"Well, sit down for a while." Zhao Jun said with a smile: "Just in time to take a look at my aunt again. By the way, sir, how about my aunt's feet?"

"See you soon!" Ma Dafu, while leading the two of them inside, turned around and said to Zhao Jun, "It's all thanks to you for bringing so much badger oil to Auntie."

"It should be." Zhao Jun was smiling, but at this time he was walking past the place where Ma Dafu was squatting just now. The smell... in Northeastern dialect, it hit his nose.

But that's definitely not what Jie Chen said, who was there. Instead, there was a piece of plastic sheet, which seemed to be wrapped with something, and the smell came from that thing.

Zhao Jun knew that it was not stinky tofu, let alone rice fields, but Ma Dafu's specialty.

Sure enough, Zhao Jun and Jie Chen didn't ask any questions. They just heard Ma Dafu pointing over there and saying, "Come here, I'll show you something good."

When Jie Chen heard this, he was very conflicted, for fear of seeing something disgusting. But when he saw Zhao Jun following Ma Dafu, Jie Chen thought: This uncle is Brother Jun's future father-in-law, so he shouldn't embarrass himself in front of his future uncle by making such a mess.

With this idea in mind, Jie Chen followed Zhao Jun over.

When I got closer, I saw seven or eight crucian carps that were as long as a handful wrapped in plastic cloth.

The crucian carp was wrapped in a plastic sheet and left to dry in the sun. After drying for an unknown amount of time, the belly of each fish became bulging. If you touch it through the plastic sheet, you can tell that the fish is hot. Moreover, the stench is overwhelming.

Ma Dafu squatted down, raised his hands to hold the wild boar meat, and pulled the plastic sheet with his hands. At the same time, he turned back and asked Zhao Jun and Jie Chen: "Do you know what this is?"

"Ma Dafu!" At this time, Wang Cuihua's voice came from the window, but there was a bit of cruelty in the voice.

Mother and daughter Wang Cuihua and Ma Ling were in the house, and they felt their faces were burning. Her Ma Dafu had eaten some stinky fish and asked her children what they were.

This is really embarrassing and embarrassing.

After all, Ma Ling is a daughter. No matter how anxious she is, she can't go out and call her father.

As for Wang Cuihua, her feet were injured and she couldn't get off the ground. It was Ma Ling who helped her up from the kang and asked her to stop Ma Dafu's "stupid" behavior with a loud shout.

At this time, Ma Yang was laughing loudly on the side. This boy didn't help his sister, he just laughed there.

Wang Cuihua, who was already angry, picked up the knotted broom and threw it at Ma Yang. With just one strike, this brat was sent to the West Room.

Ma Ling hurriedly picked up the broom and put it aside, then looked in the mirror and smoothed her hair.

In the yard, Ma Dafu was stunned by his wife's yelling, but Zhao Jun quickly smoothed things over and said, "Oh, come in and see my aunt."

After Zhao Jun finished speaking, he took Jie Chen directly into the house without waiting for Ma Dafu.

Ma Dafu shook his head, closed the plastic sheet, and followed Zhao Jun and Jie Chen into the house.

When they arrived at the house, Zhao Jun came in to see Wang Cuihua and asked about Wang Cuihua's foot injury with concern.

Wang Cuihua asked Zhao Jun and Jie Chen to sit down, and asked Ma Ling to pour water.

Zhao Jun was not in a hurry to leave today because he had to give Wang Cui time so that she could explain his father-in-law's unreliable behavior.

At this time, Ma Dafu came in from the house, specifically holding the meat and talking to Wang Cuihua, saying: "Cuihua, look, the child is here and gives us a piece of meat."

Wang Cuihua glanced at Ma Dafu fiercely, then turned to Zhao Jun and said, "Zhao Jun, thank you, ma'am."

Zhao Jun smiled and said, "I just saw Ma Ling making soy sauce, so I thought I would bring you a piece of meat to stew."

As soon as Zhao Jun said this, Wang Cuihua was secretly happy. She turned to Ma Dafu who was standing at the door and said: "Look at my child, he knows how to give me a whole piece of meat to eat. It's hard for you to have a day off. You are either fishing or fishing." Shrimp, those are all hairy things, my foot is broken, can I eat it?"

Zhao Jun also cooperated. Without waiting for Ma Dafu's reply, he said, "Ah, my uncle went fishing?"

"Isn't it?" Wang Cuihua spread her hands and said, "Tell me, how good are the good crucian carp seeds when they are stewed? Don't do it! You have to put it outside and cover it with a plastic sheet. If it smells bad, why fry the fish hair?"

Fried fish hair is a way of eating that comes from Shandong, which is to cover up the smell of good fish.

No, they said it didn't stink, it just spread.

No matter what it is, after the fish is smelly, wash it twice more with clean water. At this time, the meat and bones in the belly of the fish have separated.

Then, put more oil in the pot, without adding any other ingredients, not even salt, put the fish into the pot and fry until the fish meat is minced like hair, and the fish bones and fish bones are also crispy.

Zhao Jun had eaten this kind of food several times in his previous life, and it was always made by Ma Dafu.

Don't tell me, you have to get used to eating that stuff, and the taste... isn't that good either.

In this way, the matter of the Ma family eating smelly fish was finally explained. Zhao Jun introduced Jie Chen to the Ma family again, and then sat for a while before getting up and leaving.

After Zhao Jun and Jie Chen left, Ma Dafu was first scolded by Wang Cuihua, and then scolded by Ma Ling. Angry, Ma Dafu went to the yard to build a few stones as a stove, and then lit a fire to fry fish hairs. .

Zhao Jun and Jie Chen came out of Ma's house and drove all the way to Jiang's house. By this time, the old lady had finished eating the dumplings and returned to the house, and the smoke in the house had almost dispersed.

Zhao Jun and Xie Chen moved the firewood from the car. Zhao Jun went into the house first to help the old lady lead the kang, and then Xie Chen stacked the firewood in front of the house one after another, and finally covered it with a big cloth.

Zhao Jun took Jie Chen into the house again. The two of them moved the large water tank out of the outhouse, moved it to the pressure well, and pressed water to clean the tank.

After moving the jar back into the house, Zhao Jun and Jie Chen carried water again and filled the jar with water.

At this time, he remembered that he still had a lot of work at home, so Zhao Jun asked Jie Chen to go back first, while he stayed to help the old lady wash the pots and bowls.

After putting all the dishes and chopsticks into the dish rack, Zhao Jun turned around and saw the old lady standing at the door of the east room looking at him.

Zhao Jun smiled at her and said, "Jiang Nai, you have done all the cleaning. You can heat up the kang yourself in the evening and make some food for yourself tomorrow morning."

As he spoke, Zhao Jun put his hand into his pocket and took out a wad of money.

But he forgot that at noon, in order to appease Zhao Youcai, he gave Zhao Youcai the only two pieces of ten yuan he had. The biggest ticket in my pocket at this time was just a five-yuan one.

Zhao Jun unfolded all the money, licked his hands, and saw that there was only more than ten yuan, so he said, "Mr. Jiang."

When Zhao Jun looked up, he saw the old lady holding a wad of unity in her hand. She smiled at him and said, "Child, come here."

"Ah?" Zhao Jun was startled, but he took the money back. At this time, he also realized that Mr. Jiang had spent most of his life destroying the blind man, and they were just an old couple. How could they have no money?

The old lady generously counted out ten big unity cards, took them out together, handed them to Zhao Jun, and said: "Young man Zhao, take this money."

"No." When Zhao Jun heard this, he quickly took a step back and pushed his hand outward: "Jiang Nai, can I ask you for money? Besides, the things I got you are not worth much, are you?" What are you doing?"

"You kid." The old lady smiled and said, "Listen to me, this money is not for you, it is put there for you. When I am short of something, I have to trouble you to buy it for me."

"Ah!" Hearing what the old lady said, Zhao Jun took the money, put it in his pocket, and said to the old lady: "Jiang Nai, then I'll charge you a hundred yuan. If you need anything, I'll If you’re not at home, just tell my mother.”

"Yeah." The old lady responded with a smile. She didn't need anything. She just saw that Zhao Jun didn't have much money in his pocket, so she made an excuse to get him some.

At this time, Zhao Jun said to the old lady: "Nai Jiang, I'm going to Lingnan in the next two days. Take a look at what you need and I'll bring it back to you."

"Lingnan?" When the old lady heard that Zhao Jun was going to Lingnan, she said, "I don't need anything, but I have something to do."

"What's the matter?" Zhao Jun said with a smile: "Old lady, if you have anything to do, just tell me."

After hearing this, the old lady walked from the door of the east room to the stove pit, then pointed to the cellar door and said to Zhao Jun: "Go down to the cellar, there is something there."

In rural areas of Northeast China, every family must have a cellar, otherwise they won’t be able to store autumn vegetables, and there will be nothing to eat in winter.

As for this cellar, some people dig it in the yard, and some people dig it in the house. Like Zhao Jun's family, the floor of the house is paved with bricks and the cellar is dug in the yard. There was no floor in the Jiang family's house, so the cellar was dug in front of the stove pit. But there are wooden boards supporting it, so it’s okay for people to walk on the wooden boards.

Hearing the old lady say that there was something in the cellar, Zhao Jun was stunned and asked: "What kind of food did you save a while ago? It's not rotten until now?"

"It's not a dish." The old lady whispered to Zhao Jun: "It's a blind man who is cowardly."

"What?" Zhao Jun said in shock: "How can a black blind man still put it in the cellar?"

"Keep your voice down." The old lady waved her hand to Zhao Jun and led him out of the house to the warehouse.

When they arrived at the warehouse, the old lady pushed the door in, took the shovel from behind the door, handed it to Zhao Jun and said, "Let's dig it out!"

At this time, Zhao Jun was looking at the roof of the warehouse. He promised the old lady to help her repair the shed tomorrow, and he had to keep his word.

But when he glanced around, he saw two aluminum lunch boxes hanging on the beams. Zhao Jun took the shovel with one hand, pointed at the aluminum lunch boxes with the other and asked, "Mr. Jiang, what's in there?"

"Zhaozi." The old lady turned around and took a look, but she thought of her old man, and sighed softly: "It's probably wet and can't be used."

"Let's go into the house." Zhao Jun realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly helped the old lady back to the house.

After returning to the house, the old lady closed the door, inserted it from the inside, then pointed to the cellar and said: "This corner to the west, dig slowly."

"Hey." Zhao Jun opened the cellar door. The cellar was only more than two meters deep, but when Jiang Hua was alive, he and the old lady were both old, so they got down the wooden ladder in the cellar.

Zhao Jun stepped on the ladder and went down, dug two shovels at the southwest corner pointed by the old lady, and saw something.

But that's not a coward, but a wilted and unseemly carrot.

Storing radishes is different from storing cabbage and potatoes. It is best to bury the radishes in soil, otherwise the radishes will easily become bran.

Eighty percent of these are carrots buried last fall that fell down while digging.

Zhao Jun expanded the scope again, but he was careful every time he shoveled the shovel. When he felt that he hit something, he became even more careful.

Until I dug out a bag. The outermost part of this bag was plastic sheeting, and there seemed to be butter paper inside.

Zhao Jun held it up and asked the old lady. After receiving a positive answer, Zhao Jun first sent the shovel up, and then he held the ladder with one hand and came up with the wooden box in the other.

When Zhao Jun lifted the box over the cellar door, the old lady didn't pick it up. She only waited for Zhao Jun to come up before she took Zhao Jun into the house. The two sat down across the Kang table. The old lady pointed to the bag on the Kang table and said to Zhao Jun: "Open it and take a look."

When they were outside the house, Zhao Jun removed the outermost plastic sheet with soil. At this time, he opened the butter paper to reveal a wooden box.

The wooden box is made of yellow glass, with a layer of pine oil painted on the outside. The lid is pushed out from one side, and the other three sides are dovetailed.

After Zhao Jun pushed it open, he saw small butter paper packets inside. Zhao Jun opened it according to the old lady's instructions and found that three of them were filled with bear bile.

One copper gall and two straw galls were both dried in the shade, but one of the straw galls was broken open, and the bear bile powder inside was dug out with a spoon.

Putting the three bear gall bladders on the kang table one by one, Zhao Jun's eyes fell on the bottom of the box. There was a flat butter paper bag. The stuff inside was definitely not bear gall bladders, but more like a book or account book.

Seeing Zhao Jun looking at her, the old lady raised her head and said, "Open it and take a look."

Zhao Jun took out the fourth butter paper package from the box, opened the butter paper, and saw a small yellow book with "work manual" written in bold letters.

This was issued by the forest farm in the early years. Zhao Jun held up the pamphlet and handed it to the old lady, but the old lady shook her head and said, "Boy Zhao, open it and take a look."

Zhao Jun received the brochure in front of him, opened the first page and was stunned!
