The whole mountain is my hunting ground

Jin Xiaomei is not at home today, and Wang Meilan is missing a capable person. At this time, Wang Meilan felt that if she wanted to set up the banquet, it would be a bit difficult for herself and Yang Yufeng alone. So Wang Meilan made a prompt decision and asked Zhao Jun to call Zhao Ling and Xu Chunyan.

Zhao Jun had no objection to this. The old uncle and Zhang Yuanmin went fishing for shrimps, and they had to come home soon, so they happened to call their aunt and younger cousins.

As for Lin Xiangshun, he is just like Zhao Jun's brother. It can be said that these families are not outsiders. It is so lively to eat and drink together!

Therefore, Zhao Jun agreed immediately. At this time, Jie Zhong and Jie Chen, who had finished feeding the jackals next door, were preparing to climb back over the wall.

Xie Zhong put his hands on the wall, pushed himself up, and stuck his right leg up at a 90-degree angle with his body. But before he could move his left leg up, he heard Wang Meilan say that he couldn't do the work at home and asked Zhao Jun to find someone.

"Auntie!" Hearing this, Xie Zhong hurriedly climbed over the wall and said to Wang Meilan, "You tell me what kind of work you have and I will do it for you."

Although Xie Zhong was a guest, he had a bold personality and never pretended to be false. Wang Meilan also regarded him as a nephew, so she was not polite. She raised her hand and pointed to the pile of firewood outside the courtyard and said to Xie Zhong: "Put some firewood outside and light a bear." I've stewed it for a long time, and Xie Chen is happy to eat it."

"Hey." Jie Zhong responded and said with a smile: "When he went back two days ago, didn't my brother get a black blind man? My mother just stewed that palm, and Jie Chen said that my mother didn't do it. It’s delicious.”

"Hahaha..." Wang Meilan laughed when she heard Jie Zhong praise her delicious cooking, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Auntie will cook you more delicious food later!"

"Okay!" Xie Zhong agreed with a smile, picked up the bear paw that Yang Yufeng had just removed, and walked quickly outside the courtyard.

It burns the blind man's hair black, and the smell is quite strong and unpleasant. Not only are there people and dogs in the courtyard, it is better to burn it outside the courtyard.

"Auntie." At this time, Jie Chen also came beside Wang Meilan and said with a smile: "What can I do?"

"You." Wang Meilan looked around, pointed to the open warehouse door and said, "Quick, brother Jun and you, you two, take out the big pot!"

Jie Chen agreed and ran happily to the warehouse. But when he arrived at the door, he saw Zhao Jun walking away with a big pot.

Not to mention how heavy this big iron pot is, the key is that it is big and cannot get out from the door sideways, so it has to be rolled out like a tire.

Jie Chen followed Zhao Jun and waited for the cauldron to be rolled to the stove. He bent down and picked up the side of the cauldron, and worked hard with Zhao Jun to lift the cauldron and sit on the stove.

"Son!" At this time, Wang Meilan called Zhao Jun. When Zhao Jun came over, she said, "I'll give you Uncle Zhao and Ma Ling some meat."

"Okay." When Zhao Jun thought that he hadn't looked at Ma Ling for three or four days, he immediately nodded and said to Yang Yufeng who was skinning the black bear: "Sister-in-law, please shave some meat, both fat and thin. want."

Yang Yufeng listened to the conversation between Zhao Jun and his son, then took the skinning knife and measured the bear meat, and then asked Zhao Jun: "Brother, is it okay to cut the fat one so big?"

After receiving Zhao Jun's approval, Yang Yufeng cut off two pieces of fat meat, each weighing about eight or nine kilograms, and then cut off two pieces of five or six kilograms from the lean area.

Zhao Jun and his ministers took action and wrapped the meat with thin iron wire, preparing to take it out as gifts.

"Hey." Suddenly, Wang Meilan pulled Zhao Jun and said, "Give Ma Ling another black blind man's palm."

"Okay!" Zhao Jun responded, glanced at the two black bear front paws that had been removed and were still stacked together, and said to Wang Meilan: "Mom, there is one bear paw left, why don't you give it to me, Uncle Zhao. "

"Take it." Wang Meilan waved her hand and said, "Keep it before it breaks."

Bear meat is not valuable these days, and neither are bear paws. It is said that bear paws have high nutritional value, but there is no basis for it.

But some people say that bears hibernate in winter, and if they are hungry during hibernation, they will collect some dried fruits and honey and put them in the palms of their front paws before entering the barn. Then put your palms together and rub them together to knead the nutrients in the dried fruits and honey into your palms. After the bear enters the tree barn, it will lick the palm of its hand when it is hungry.

In this way, a lot of nutritious things penetrate into the bear's paw, so the bear's paw is a great tonic.

In fact, this is completely a conjecture, which is neither logical nor realistic.

Not to mention whether the black bear's front paws can do this, the key is that they start sleeping as soon as it snows in the barn, and there is no such thing as getting up at night. How can they have time to lick the bear's paws?

In terms of taste, bear paws are similar to pig trotters, with more skin and tendons and less fat and lean meat. It is estimated that the nutritional value is similar to that of pig's trotters. Because of its thick fat, it can produce milk when stewed.

As for why bear paws are so famous, it should be because they are served at the Man-Han Banquet.

At this time, Wang Meilan bent down, dragging a bear paw with one hand to Zhao Jun, and said to him: "Son, you can't fix it by yourself, can you?"

Zhao Jun took one look, then turned to Jie Chen and said, "Jie Chen, you go get the car and we'll drive there."

"Ah?" Wang Meilan was stunned and said, "No need?"

Zhao Jun said: "Let's deliver the things to them first, and let my aunt and the others hold them when we come back. They all came here in one trip."

"That's okay!" After hearing what Zhao Jun said, Wang Meilan felt very reliable, so she said: "Don't forget there is an old lady."

"I can't forget it." Even if Wang Meilan didn't remind her, Zhao Jun couldn't forget the old lady.

In this way, Zhao Jun and his ministers walked out of the courtyard carrying two pieces of meat in one hand and a bear paw in the other.

After leaving the yard, the two of them said hello to Jie Zhong, who was in the burning bear's paw, and then threw everything on the trunk. Jie Chen drove, and Zhao Jun showed the way. The two came to Zhao Guofeng's house first.

Zhao Guofeng stayed home today. Before his wife came back from taking Zhao Jinshan to work in the fields, Zhao Jun gave old Mrs. Zhao the bear paws and bear meat. After saying a few common words, Zhao Jun said goodbye and left.

After going out and getting in the car, the car came to Ma Ling's house again. Before Zhao Jun got out of the car, he saw Ma Ling and Wang Cuihua collecting corn in the yard.

These corns are brought back from the field, the corn leaves are peeled off but not pulled off, and then the corn leaves are tied to poles or ropes, and the corns are hung upside down to dry.

After drying in the sun, tear off the corn leaves and leave the corn sticks to grind the grains, or grind the corn grains, or grind the corn flour.

"Oops!" Wang Cuihua, who was collecting corns, saw a car coming. She slapped Ma Ling on the shoulder, then pointed out and said, "Zhao Jun is here!"

After saying that, the two women went to the courtyard entrance to welcome him.

"Auntie!" Zhao Jun greeted Wang Cuihua as soon as he got off the car and said, "Are you good with your feet?"

"That's almost it." Wang Cuihua replied with a smile: "Thanks to you for giving me the badger oil treatment."

"That's all." Zhao Jun glanced at the yard and said, "Where are you harvesting the corn? Have you done it?"

"It won't work if I don't do it." Wang Cuihua said: "At noon, the village chief put on the loudspeaker and shouted, indicating that there will be rain and snow tomorrow. I thought about it and took it down to the house to dry."

The lower room that Wang Cuihua mentioned was their barn. Although it would take longer to dry in the barn, it was already raining and snowing, so they couldn't leave it outside.

"Ouch!" Zhao Jun went out for a short run today and didn't listen to the weather forecast. But when Wang Cuihua said it, he knew that his good time was coming soon.

While the two were talking, Jie Chen came over with bear meat in one hand and bear paws in the other, and stood next to Zhao Jun.

Jie Chen first nodded to Ma Ling, then greeted Wang Cuihua with a smile: "Auntie."

"Hey!" Wang Cuihua responded with a smile, then looked at the things Jie Chen took, and hurriedly asked Zhao Jun: "Why do you take so many things?"

Zhao Jun smiled and said: "Today I went up the mountain to kill a black blind man and cut some meat for you. Some are thin and some are fat. Let's order some oil or something."

"Oh." Wang Cuihua sighed: "You kid is really thoughtful."

At this point, Wang Cuihua changed her subject and continued: "Jun, we are not outsiders, so I won't be polite to you. As for the meat, we will keep it. And the bear paws, you can take them back, we will If it doesn’t work well, you can eat it yourself.”

Logically speaking, when someone comes to give a gift, there is no way to accept half and return half. But Zhao Jun was her future son-in-law, so Wang Cuihua didn't say anything to anyone else. She directly said that she didn't know how to make bear paws at home, so she just didn't want them. She asked Zhao Jun to give them to others. Wouldn't she also gain a favor?

As for Wang Cuihua’s claim that she couldn’t make bear paws, it was last year when Zhao Jun gave Ma Ling a piece of bear meat and a bear paw. After Ma Ling got it back, Wang Cuihua used bear meat oil to make pancakes and the family was very happy.

As for the bear paw, Wang Cuihua also stewed it the next day, and called her eldest son and his family back to eat together.

But this braised bear paw dish made the Ma family very disappointed. I don’t know why, but it just didn’t taste right, no matter how much condiments were added.

"Mom!" At this time, Ma Ling called Wang Cuihua in a low voice, and then called Zhao Jun and Jie Chen: "Come, let's go into the house and drink some water."

"Ouch!" Only then did Wang Cuihua react. She turned aside and said apologetically to Zhao Jun and Jie Chen: "I'm just here to chat. Come in quickly."

"We're not going in, aunt." Zhao Jun reached out and took two pieces of meat from Jie Chen, and handed them to Ma Ling separately. After Ma Ling took the meat, Zhao Jun took it from both sides of the bear's paws.

"Come in, come in." At this time, Wang Cuihua kept calling Zhao Jun and his ministers: "What are you busy with? Go up to the room and sit for a while, drink water and chat for a while."

"Sorry, aunt, we still have something to do at home." Zhao Jun lifted up the bear paw he was holding with both hands and said to Wang Cuihua: "Auntie, keep this paw and the black blind man's meat. You are done with it. When the time comes, you have to put water on it and tighten it several times. Just tightening it on one side is not enough. Just tightening it once will make it smell."

"Ah!" Wang Cuihua said in surprise: "Is that what happened? How many times do you have to tighten it?"

"It needs to be tightened four or five times." Zhao Jun explained to the couple: "Heixiazi's body smells like pine oil. If you don't tighten it, it won't taste good!"

"Ouch!" Wang Cuihua clapped her hands when she heard this and said, "It's not good. When you say it, I can tell it smells like pine oil."

Speaking of this, Wang Cuihua turned to Ma Ling and asked, "Is it Ling'er?"

"Yeah!" Ma Ling nodded repeatedly.

"Tighten it a few more times." Zhao Jun smiled and handed the bear paw to Wang Cuihua and said, "Madam, do as I say, tighten it first to get rid of the evil smell, then expose it first and then simmer it. Then you can Eat it and see if it tastes good."

Water and soil support all living beings.

As is the case with man, so is the beast.

Some people say that wild boar is not delicious, but can the meat quality of wild boars that eat turf and tree roots in some places be the same as that of wild boars in the Northeast that eat pine nuts and walnuts?

There are also bears, black bears and brown bears in many places. Although these bears all need to hibernate, in the Northeast, bears hibernate in barns for up to five months.

From the first snowfall in November until March of the next year, the bears in this mountain will hibernate.

For these five months of hibernation, bears in the Northeast must accumulate enough fat.

But for bears, the only months when food is truly plentiful are the autumn months.

During this time, the bear eats a lot. Soft dates are good, with long bunches, but there is no fat or protein in soft dates.

Honey does contain these nutrients, but honeycombs are rare and difficult to obtain, so no matter how much bears like to eat honey, it is difficult to eat much.

This is why bears like to move down wood ants the most in spring and summer. Even though the ants are so small that the bear can't even fill his teeth with them, the bear still enjoys them.

By autumn, the situation for the bears was better. Because at this time, it’s time to collect the dried fruits.

So the bear ran hard for the pine nuts, hazelnuts, and acorns.

But there are not many hazelnuts in this mountain, but pine and pine trees are all over the mountain. Therefore, Blind Bear will go to Songshugang and Chuoshugang to pick up pine cones and acorns to eat.

And comparing these two things, pine nuts are definitely more delicious than acorns.

Bears are not stupid either, they also know how to choose delicious food. Therefore, in autumn, bears will first go to the bottom of pine trees to look for pine cones to eat.

This resulted in the bear's paws, face, and even the bear being heavily stained with pine oil.

It was said that Zhao Jun was holding this bear's paw, and the palms were shiny and exuded the smell of pine oil.

Over the years, the pine oil soaks into the black bear's fur, giving the bear a pine oil smell.

The smell of pine oil is different from that of pine nuts. When it is made into dishes, according to the Zhao Jun family, it has an evil smell that affects the taste of the meat.

Therefore, if you want to make good bear meat, you must follow Zhao Jun's instructions and tighten the water several times. And what he meant was to blanch it with water.

After blanching several times, the smell of pine oil in the bear meat disappears. After blanching and stewing again, the meat becomes delicious!

After hearing what Zhao Jun said, Wang Cuihua realized that she had not done well, and immediately took the bear's paw, and then called Zhao Jun and Jie Chen into the house.

Zhao Jun once again declined Wang Cuihua's kindness. His mother was at home waiting for someone to help with the banquet, so there was no time to go in and chat.

So, Zhao Jun and the ministers said goodbye to Ma Ling and Wang Cuihua. They took a car to Wang Qiang's house and picked up Zhao Ling, Wang Tian and Wang Xue, and then went to Lin Xiangshun's house to pick up Xu Chunyan's mother and son.

The group of people stood on the back of the car and headed to Zhao Jun's house together. As soon as they got off the car, they saw Xiao Lingdang, Zhao Hong, Zhao Na, and Li Xiaoqiao returning home from school.

After getting the four little girls into the car, they went to Jiang's house to call the old lady out. Zhao Jun helped them get into the passenger seat, while he stood on the back of the car with a group of women and children.

Just like that, a Jiefang brand car carrying a group of twelve people went straight to Zhao Jun's house.

When passing by the small shop, Aunt Qi, who was chatting under a big tree, grabbed Li Ruhai and pointed out: "What do you think they are doing?"

"Oh!" Li Ruhai turned around and jumped up from the bench. Seeing the car drive away, he turned to his aunt and other women and said, "There is a lot of excitement at home, I have to take a look!"

With that said, Li Ruhai took steps to chase the car. At this time, the voice of the proprietress Yang Xue came from the window of the small shop, and she shouted: "Ruhai, what are you doing? Your Uncle Wang will be back soon!"

Someone told me that he could search Baidu himself without having to do so much popular science. The key point is that if I write this stuff, you can’t find it...
