The whole mountain is my hunting ground

There is a table in each of the east and west rooms of Zhao Jun's house. At this time, the table is already filled with delicious dishes.

The main dish in the middle is braised bear paws.

After the bear paw has been blanched five times and simmered for an hour and a half, the outer skin has bloomed, revealing the tendons and a little flesh inside.

Then add the authentic soybean soy sauce these days, and the inside and outside of the bear's paws will turn red.

Because bear paws are rich in colloids, the soup becomes thicker without thickening the soup when braised.

The soup is sticky and hangs on the bear's paw. If you use chopsticks to pick out a piece of rotten bear's paw skin, the skin will have a layer of thick juice. Just take a slight sip to your mouth and the bear's paw skin will be sucked in. In his mouth, the thick soup stuck to his lips.

The back paw that Zhao Jun left for himself was cut into two parts before being braised, and was now smashed on two large plates.

The method of braised bear meat is similar to that of braised bear paws. But bear paws are mostly made of tendons, and braised bear meat is all meat from the bear’s hind thighs.

These thigh meats are already soft and rotten, and they are piled up on the big plate, exuding a strong aroma.

The other part of bear meat was stewed with large carrots. This dish is a soup. After simmering for half an hour, the soup turns white, with chopped green onion and coriander sprinkled on top. It is mainly fresh.

It is said that you can't have your cake and eat it too, except for Zhao Jun's family.

First, there is a sauce-braised miscellaneous fish. Carp and crucian carp are fried on one side first. After turning them over, pour a spoonful of soy sauce on the fish body, then add water and stew over low heat.

Zhang Yuanmin caught this fish in the morning. When he came back, he asked Wang Meilan to stew it, hoping to wait for Zhao Jun and Jie Chen to come back to eat it.

But when the four little girls finished eating and went to school, Zhao Jun and the others didn't come back. When they didn't come back for dinner, the fish was left untouched until evening.

Although it is not a freshly cooked dish, the stewed fish becomes even more delicious after being reheated.

And when Zhao Jun and the others came back, Wang Meilan and Yang Yufeng were crowded in the yard.

This fish is a cold water fish and has very high requirements on water quality. This makes the fish meat delicious and has a big thorn from head to tail. Xu Chunyan battered it and then fried it in a pan. The fried fish and the wrapped noodles were both golden and crispy.

Next to the fried fish are fried shrimps. The river shrimps are stir-fried in oil, and the thin shrimp shells and heads are crispy.

This dish is fresh and delicious, and the little shrimps have a hint of sweetness when you chew them carefully.

Then there are the shredded potatoes, which are used to prepare the burritos.

According to the old lady's advice, take a big pancake, tear off the braised bear leg meat, and place it along the middle of the pancake from one end to the other.

Then, add a layer of shredded potatoes, and finally add scallions and coriander. Roll the pancake as thick as a child's arm. Open your mouth and take a big bite. The pancake is crispy, the meat is tender, the potatoes are soft, and the scallions are sweet and spicy. , the fragrance of coriander is amazing!

There are already seven dishes, and with the addition of fried egg sauce, the dishes for today’s dinner will be complete.

In terms of the number of dishes, there were not as many as the pig-killing dishes that day, but today these dishes were almost all large dishes.

The dishes are good and the staple food is also great!

The dough cake, which is larger than the size of a palm, is golden and crispy on both sides, but white and soft on the inside.

In addition to dough cakes, there are also large fried cakes.

At this time, Wang Meilan was in front of the stove, holding a large cake in her hand and putting it into the pot. She heard the squeaking sound, and the aroma of dough and oil spread in the room.

In the east room, the panel was laid across the Kang table. Zhao Ling was rolling out cakes with a rolling pin in her hand, while Zhao Jun and others were chatting beside her.

Suddenly, Li Ruhai, who was smiling, suddenly remembered something, so he got up and walked out. Zhao Jun glanced at his back but ignored him.

Li Ruhai came out of the inner room and went to the outer room and walked towards the door. Wang Meilan, who was pancakes, saw this and asked hurriedly: "Ruhai, it's time to eat, what are you doing?"

Li Ruhai raised his hand, pointed outward, and said, "I'll go to the latrine."

"Go." Wang Meilan warned, "Come back when you're done. Your dad and the others will be home soon. When they come in, we'll start dinner."

Li Ruhai agreed obediently, opened the door and left Zhao Jun's house, quickly walked out of the yard and trotted to the small shop.

But halfway through, Li Ruhai suddenly stopped and ran around to the small shop. Although he had to run a little longer, he thought he could avoid Zhao Youcai and the others who were returning home.

Li Ruhai came to the small shop, opened the door and strode in. As soon as he came in, he saw Wang Fu taking off his coat.

Coincidentally, Wang Fu also just came back.

Li Ruhai glanced around the room and saw a pile of goods stacked under the east wall. On the front two sacks, there was a marmot hat and a pair of black leather shoes.

"Ruhai!" Yang Xue came out of the back room with a small stew pot. When she saw Li Ruhai, she said with a smile: "You came at the right time. Uncle Wang has just come back."

"Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang." Li Ruhai was very polite. Although his mind had already drifted to the marmot hat and leather shoes, he still said hello to Wang Fu and Yang Xue.

Wang Fu put the thin cotton-padded jacket on the counter, raised his hand and pointed to the south, and said with a smile: "I bought it for you!"

After saying that, Wang Fu went over and picked up the marmot hat with one hand and the heels of the two leather shoes with the other hand. He brought them both to Li Ruhai and placed them on the counter.

With a smile on his face, Li Ruhai took the marmot hat and put it on his head. Then he took two steps to the left, and a young man wearing a marmot hat appeared in the mirror.

Li Ruhai was so happy that he couldn't help but smile. At this moment, Yang Xue put the stew pot on the counter, turned to look at Li Ruhai, and said with a smile to Wang Fu: "Don't tell me, Ruhai looks good in it."

These days, a marmot hat is considered a luxury for mountain people. According to their eyes, this hat looks good on anyone wearing it.

But when Li Ruhai heard people praising him, his face put on more smiles. He raised his hands and moved the sides of his hat.

"Ruhai!" Yang Xue looked at Li Ruhai and asked with some worry, "What do you want to buy these things for?"

The conditions of Lao Li's family have been good this year, which is obvious to all in the village, but what Li Ruhai bought is very luxurious in Yang Xue's eyes.

Li Ruhai smiled when he heard this, turned to Yang Xue and said, "Wear it for work."

"Go to work..." Yang Xue and Wang Fu looked at each other, thinking that you are just a child, but you are still a gatekeeper, but you end up wearing wider clothes than the field director and secretary. Isn't this crazy?

"Ruhai!" Yang Xue often gossiped about other people's affairs with Li Ruhai, and they must have a good relationship, so at this time she said to Li Ruhai with some worry: "Do your father and your mother know? They are watching you buy this. , I’m not allowed to hit you?”

When Yang Xue said this, Li Ruhai was reaching for the leather shoes. After listening to Yang Xue's words, Li Ruhai's little hand instantly stopped on top of the leather shoes.

But after only a slight hesitation, Li Ruhai grabbed the leather shoe on the right.

"It's okay." Li Ruhai smiled and said, "I just said I don't care if others borrow it."

"Ah?" Wang Fu, who was about to take a bowl of soup, was stunned and frowned: "You kid, you don't know how to lie. If you take this thing home, who can believe it?"

"That's it!" Yang Xue came over with a plate of steamed noodles and the couple was ready to eat.

Potato stick soup with two-faced steamed buns, plus a pile of pickled cucumbers, this is the normal meal for people in the forest area.

Li Ruhai put on his leather shoes and lightly stamped his feet twice. He felt very comfortable and picked up the remaining leather shoe.

Before lowering his head to take off and put on his shoes, Li Ruhai first said to Wang Fu and Yang Xue: "Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, I will leave these two things at your house first."

"What?" Wang Fugang put a bowl of potato chip soup in front of Yang Xue. After listening to Li Ruhai's words, he didn't even bother to serve the second bowl of soup. He hurriedly asked Li Ruhai, "Why are you leaving it in my house?"

Li Ruhai said: "I don't usually wear it. When there are inspections and activities in our place, I will wear it out and tell my dad and mom that I borrowed it. When I get back from work, I will take it off and leave it here with you."

Speaking of this, Li Ruhai gave Wang Fu and Yang Xue a bared smile. Just as Wang Fuga was about to speak, he saw a big man coming in from the door.

This big man is none other than Li Dayong!

Following Li Dayong was Zhao Youcai.

Wang Fu and Yang Xue were stunned for a moment. Wang Fu, who was the first to react, hurriedly removed his hand that was preparing to serve the soup, stood up in front of him, put his palms on the counter, and shook Li Ruhai twice.

Unfortunately, at this moment, Li Ruhai lowered his little head wearing a marmot hat.

There is no children's version of this marmot hat. As for the adult hat, Li Ruhai is sure to wear it.

As soon as he lowered his head, his hat slipped down, blocking his eyes.

Li Dayong was stunned when he entered the room. He thought that the figure and back of the child looked very familiar. He looked like his youngest son Li Ruhai.

But looking at the hat on the child's head and the leather shoes on his hands, Li Dayong couldn't help but think to himself, how could this be his son? How could I have such a wealthy son?

But before Li Dayong could finish his words, the child spoke first.

Li Ruhai took off the cloth shoes on his feet, put the leather shoes on his feet, and when he was holding the heels, he raised his head and smiled at Wang Fu and Yang Xue and said, "I want to take them back and let my dad watch them. Dad’s eyes are red. He’s still a leader, why don’t he just wear a dog-skin hat?”

As soon as Li Ruhai spoke, Li Dayong behind him was stunned. He looked straight at the child's back.

This is really his son! He really has such a son!

Li Ruhai usually hangs out in this small shop and gets along very well with Wang Fu and Yang Xue, so he doesn't hide what he has in mind and continues to laugh: "My mother can't let her know. I spend so much money on this thing every day, but I still can’t buy a house?"

At the end of the sentence, Li Ruhai laughed twice.

Suddenly, Li Ruhai noticed something was wrong with Wang Fu and Yang Xue. Logically speaking, there should be laughter here, but both of them had serious faces and furrowed brows.

The key is that Yang Xue keeps squinting at herself.

Li Ruhai was startled and looked down, seeing Wang Fuli's hands constantly waving on the counter. Yang Xue held the chopsticks in one hand, and stretched out the index finger from the edge of the bowl with the other hand, constantly slapping the food behind her.

Li Ruhai's heart skipped a beat, how could he not know what was happening. In an instant, cold sweat broke out on Li Ruhai's forehead. He grinned and made a sound.

"Haha! Haha!" Li Ruhai laughed dryly and said to Wang Fu and Yang Xue, "Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, I was just joking with you."

As he spoke, Li Ruhai raised his hands, lifted the marmot hat on his head, and placed it on the counter next to him.

Then, Li Ruhai put his hand on the marmot hat and said seriously: "I bought this for my dad. My dad works hard every day. As a son, I feel sad sometimes just looking at it."

After saying that, Li Ruhai folded his left leg from the knee, reached out and took off the leather shoes on his feet, then stepped on his original cloth shoes with his bare feet, looked at the leather shoes in his hand, and then took off the other one.

As he took off his shoes, he said: "These shoes are for my mother. It's not easy for my mother to give birth to and raise me. I have to let my mother enjoy her happiness as soon as possible."

"Haha." Yang Xue chuckled, looked up at Zhao Youcai and Li Dayong behind Li Ruhai and said, "Second brother, brother Li, are you off work?"

As soon as Yang Xue said this, Li Ruhai's heart felt cold, and he secretly said: "That's true!"

"Brothers and sisters!" Zhao Youcai responded with a smile: "Weigh (yāo) two taels of white sugar for me."

"Hey!" Wang Fu put down his chopsticks first and said to Zhao Youcai: "Second brother, I will weigh you right now."

Li Ruhai knew that he would not be able to escape today, so he immediately turned around, widened his eyes, and pretended to be surprised: "Oh, Dad, uncle, are you off work?"

Zhao Youcai smiled at Li Ruhai, his smile should be as bright and bright as possible, as kind and kind as possible.

But Li Dayong was not angry, sad or happy, he just looked at Li Ruhai expressionlessly.

For a moment, Li Ruhai felt that his legs were trembling. In a hurry, he turned around and took the marmot hat, came in front of Li Dayong, handed the hat to Li Dayong, and said: "Dad, I will buy you a hat, you try it."

After saying that, Li Ruhai didn't wait for Li Dayong's reaction, stood up on tiptoes, and put the hat on Li Dayong's head. But in a hurry, the hat was worn crookedly.

Seeing this scene, Yang Xue and Wang Fu hurriedly lowered their heads and tried not to laugh.

"Oh!" At this time, Zhao Youcai stretched out his hand to straighten the hat on Li Dayong's head and praised: "Ruhai, this kid is really good. He has been filial since he was a child."

Li Ruhai grinned and wanted to smile perfunctorily, but he couldn't.

"Second brother." Wang Fu raised his hand, handed the butter paper bag containing sugar to Zhao Youcai, and said, "Two taels of sugar."

Zhao Youcai took the sugar and said, "Let's keep track of it first, and I'll give it to you someday."

"Second brother, what are you talking about?" Wang Fu said with a smile: "This is just something you can eat at home."

"That's not possible." Zhao Youcai tilted his head and said, "It's not the same thing."

Suddenly, Zhao Youcai paused, pointed at Li Ruhai, raised his head and asked Wang Fu, "We kids bought hats and stuff, but didn't you even pay the bill?"

As soon as Zhao Youcai said this, Li Dayong's eyes widened instantly. A question suddenly occurred to him: where did Li Ruhai get the money to buy shoes and hats?

You know, Jin Xiaomei only leaves Li Ruhai a few cents a month as pocket money. How long will it take him to save enough money for shoes and hats?

That means Li Ruhai may have other ways of making money. But what can a fourteen-year-old do?

Therefore, after much thought, Li Dayong had only one possibility, and that was that Li Ruhai secretly took money from home while Jin Xiaomei was not at home!

Therefore, when Li Dayong looked at Li Ruhai again, his eyes were ruthless, just like Zhao Jun and Zhao Youcai were aiming their guns at their prey.

But as for Li Ruhai, he turned to look at Wang Fu. It was Wang Fu who hinted to him before, but now it was Li Ruhai who hinted to Wang Fu.

But at this time, Wang Fu, just like Li Ruhai just now, did not see the other party's hints.

Wang Fu pulled out two bills from a pile of bills, put them on the counter, pushed them out, and said: "Leather shoes are five yuan, hats are six and a half yuan, a total of eleven and a half. Ruhai, give me twenty..." …”

At this point, Wang Fu, who was about to make a calculation, saw Li Ruhai's expression.

But as soon as Wang Fu stopped talking, Zhao Youcai asked Wang Fu: "Ruhai will give you twenty something?"

"Not many." Under Li Ruhai's attentive gaze, Wang Fu smiled bitterly and said, "Only twenty."

As soon as Wang Fu finished speaking, Zhao Youcai laughed and said, "That's eight and a half dollars left."

"Yeah." When Wang Fu heard this, he turned around quickly, counted out eight and a half cents from the money box, and wanted to hand it to Li Ruhai, but he saw Li Ruhai lowered his head and said nothing.

Wang Fu had no choice but to hold the money up to Li Dayong and said: "Brother Li."

Li Dayong stepped forward to take the money, took out the fifty-cent note, placed it in front of Wang Fu, and said, "Give my brother the candy."

When Zhao Youcai heard this, he just stood there and smiled without saying a word. Wang Fu knew that it was useless to look at Li Ruhai anymore, so he immediately gave Li Dayong his 40 cents.

Li Dayong put the money in his pocket, picked up the leather shoes that Li Ruhai had thrown aside, and then said to Wang Fu, "Brother, this kid has caused you trouble."

"Oh, Brother Li, you are too polite." Wang Fu smiled and said, "What is this?"

"Then you can eat." Zhao Youcai said to Wang Fu, then gestured outside and said, "Let's go."

"Second brother, brother Li, please slow down." Wang Fu returned to the counter, waved to Zhao Youcai and said, "Come back later."

Zhao Youcai nodded with a smile, turned around and walked out. When Li Dayong passed by Li Ruhai, he paused and said in Li Ruhai's ear: "Let's go! Go home."

When he said the word "go home", Li Dayong was obviously gritting his teeth. Li Ruhai had no choice but to follow Li Dayong silently.

At this time, Li Baoyu and Lin Xiangshun were waiting outside the small shop. Li Baoyu, who was carrying a lunch box from Zhao Youcai.com, frowned and said to Lin Xiangshun: "Why did they spend so long buying sugar?"

Lin Xiangshun smiled and said: "Maybe I'm chatting with someone."

"What are you talking about?" Li Baoyu pouted and said, "It's not like our family is like the sea."

As soon as Li Baoyu finished speaking, he saw Li Dayong coming out of the small shop, followed closely by Zhao Youcai.

Li Baoyu was startled, he felt something was wrong with Li Dayong, and suddenly he smiled.

Li Baoyu took a step forward, smiled and was about to ask when Li Dayong told Wang Fu to help him buy the marmot hat.

But before Li Baoyu could speak, he saw a small man following Li Dayong.

"Ruhai..." Li Baoyu frowned and said, "What time is it? Go home quickly..."

Before Li Baoyu finished speaking, he saw that Li Ruhai seemed to have tripped over something. He leaned forward and took four or five steps forward in a chaotic manner.

"Ouch!" Li Ruhai exclaimed, but there was no trace of panic on his face, instead there was a hint of joy.

Just when Li Ruhai rushed in front of Li Dayong and was about to continue moving forward, a big hand grabbed Li Ruhai's arm.

"You kid!" Zhao Youcai grabbed Li Ruhai's arm and said with a smile, "Slow down the aisle."

Li Ruhai subconsciously tugged on his arm, only to find that Zhao Youcai's hand was like a plier, tightly holding him.
