The whole mountain is my hunting ground

In the evening at the end of October, the temperature in the mountains was nearly freezing. At this time, the doors and windows of the forest farm mailroom were closed, and wisps of green smoke were rising from the chimney.

The moment the bell rang in every corner of the forest farm, the door of the mail room was pushed open from the inside, and then a small black buffalo leather shoe stepped out of the threshold.

Li Ruhai, wearing a marmot hat, Chinese tunic suit, and small leather shoes, stood in front of the window with a pair of small hands behind his back, walking squarely, and looked around at all the roads leading to the forest farm gate.

When the cold wind blew, the corners of Li Ruhai's clothes fluttered. He put his hands behind his back into his trouser pockets, thinking: "I just need a briefcase!"

But then Li Ruhai thought about it, he just wanted to make his wife happy when the leather shoes he ordered arrived, so why not talk about everything?

Li Ruhai was well dressed and thought beautifully, her red face slightly raised, and she thought to herself: "I heard that there are guests at home today, so I shouldn't miss the excitement, right?"

Just when Li Ruhai was thinking wildly, a group of people came from the direction of the production workshop. Li Ruhai took his right hand out of his pocket, raised it in front of his face and shouted, "Uncle Ma, are you off work?"

"Huh? Ah..." Ma Dafu was stunned for a moment. He felt like he had seen Li Ruhai's posture in the newspapers!

As time goes by, more and more people pass through the gate and walk out of the forest farm. As long as they look familiar, Li Ruhai will say hello to them.

"Uncle Zhou! Brother-in-law!" At this time, Li Ruhai saw Zhou Chunming and Zhou Jianjun walking out together, and raised his hand to say hello.

"Let's go, Ruhai!" Zhou Chunming replied with a smile. After passing by Li Ruhai, he looked back at Li Ruhai and muttered: "This kid is better dressed than me, haha. "

Zhou Jianjun smiled and said, "My child said that he wants to wear this outfit to attend the swearing-in ceremony."

"Hahaha..." Zhou Chunming laughed and said, "Let him go. He is so small. No one can see him in the crowd anyway."

Zhou Jianjun was startled when he heard this, then smiled and said: "That's right!"

At this time, Li Ruhai saw Zhao Youcai, Li Dayong, Li Baoyu, Lin Xiangshun and Han Dachun.

Those people came from the north, and the road they took led directly to the forest farm gate. Li Ruhai stood on the right side of the road, watching Zhao Youcai, Li Dayong, Li Baoyu, and Lin Xiangshun move to the left as they walked forward. As they walked forward, the four of them changed from side by side to in front and back, but they were all close to the other side.

Li Ruhai's mood suddenly became bad. These four people were obviously avoiding him. What? Do you think you have embarrassed them?

Li Ruhai lowered his head, reached out to stretch his clothes, and then looked at the spotless leather shoes. He felt that they were flawless!

At this moment, Han Dachun walked up to Li Dayong from behind. He waved to Li Ruhai and said loudly: "Ruhai, your dad and I are going back first!"

Li Dayong: "..."

"Hey!" Li Ruhai responded, raising his hand above his head and shaking it fiercely.

…

When the commuter train stopped outside Yong'an Village, everyone got off the bus. On the way home, Zhao Youcai invited Han Dachun to have dinner at home, but Han Dachun refused.

At this time at Zhao Jun's house, Huang Gui looked at the dishes on the table and couldn't help but secretly swallowed a sip of saliva.

Sauced roe deer tendons are rolled first and then cut into round slices as thick as goose eggs. The flesh is maroon in color and makes you appetizing just by looking at it.

Stir-fried roe deer lips, roe deer tongue, and roe deer head meat with green onions. This dish is full of collagen. There is no need to thicken the soup when it is served, and the soup is very thick.

Roe deer heart, roe deer liver, roe deer belly and dried chili peppers can be said to be replicas of roe deer. Stir-fry slowly with water until all the meat and vegetables are dry, the soup has evaporated, and all the flavors are absorbed into the vegetables.

Fish head stewed with tofu and vermicelli is made in the Northeastern way, adding bean paste and simmering over low heat.

As the saying goes: A thousand pieces of tofu are like a thousand pieces of fish.

Whether it is tofu or fish head, the more it is stewed, the more delicious it becomes. The big fat-headed fish had a head that was almost half of its body. Wang Meilan asked Zhang Yuanmin to split the fish head open with an axe, and then simmered it on low heat for an hour. When it was about to come out of the pot, I added the vermicelli that had been soaked all afternoon into the pot.

Eat the vermicelli into the soup and simmer for another ten minutes. When the vermicelli is cooked, the soup will be dry!

When stewing fish, don't fry the fish. Stir in the soup first, then put the fish body and tail into the pot with a knife. When taking it out of the pot, chop a little coriander powder into it.

Stir-fried kohlrabi with dry tofu is made by cutting both dry tofu and kohlrabi into narrow strips. Then blanch the dry tofu in water and put it in cold water. Adding this step can make the dried tofu more tender and smooth.

Finally, heat the oil in a pan, put the dried tofu and kohlrabi into the pan and stir-fry. During the stir-frying process, break up some red pepper and throw them in. When frying this dish, don't fry it in the house, otherwise the house will be too spicy to be entertained.

Otherwise, under the wise leadership of Wang Meilan, the two large stoves in the Zhao family yard were built in vain!

These are six dishes, plus canned saury, canned luncheon meat and milky white roe deer mixed soup, Wang's roe deer fish feast has eight dishes and one soup!

The original plan was to have ten dishes, but unfortunately we couldn't make it.

At this time, Wang Meilan apologized and said to Huang Gui: "Brother, this is your first time at home. My sister-in-law is wondering why she has to weigh ten dishes for you. Alas!"

Speaking of this, Wang Meilan actually sighed.

Huang Gui raised his eyebrows in embarrassment and glanced at the sumptuous dishes on the table, then at Wang Meilan. He immediately made up his mind to find someone to kill the donkey when he gets home tomorrow!

Wang Meilan said this, and Zhao Jun on the side could not answer it. He could only listen to the old woman continuing: "There are not enough stoves at home. All these are stews. This is delaying things... Oh my!"

Huang Gui: "..."

Isn’t your home cooking enough? Even the fire is on in the next room, and four big pots are cooking together, what else do you want? The workplace canteen is not as good as this, right?

However, today's two stews and one soup both require a lot of heat. Tofu and fish will definitely not taste good if they are simmered for a short time. Especially those in the Northeast love to eat stews, and whether they stir-fry or stew, they like to dry out the soup. People here always say that stewed and fried dishes are delicious.

As for the roe deer soup, the soup is milky white in color, which is even more difficult when you don’t have the skills and hard work!

Compared with the previous pig-killing dishes and bear fish feast, the pig-killing dishes mostly include stir-fried vegetables. Although the bear fish feast included braised bear meat, bear paws, and even oil and pancakes, there were not many dishes that day.

Wang Meilan felt that she had made a mistake this time and made a serious mistake when there were guests. Wang Meilan wanted to lose face to her son, to the old Wang family... No, to lose face to the old Zhao family!

Seeing Wang Meilan expressing her apologies to Huang Gui repeatedly, Jin Xiaomei, who had a close relationship with her sisters, felt very uncomfortable. She immediately said to Wang Meilan: "Sister-in-law, when Xiaojun and the others come back from Lingnan, we will let the aid workers stay in my courtyard." Make two stoves."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jun suddenly raised his head and looked at Jin Xiaomei. Do these two sisters really want to work in the canteen at home, as Zhao Youcai said this morning?

Huang Gui was also shocked by Jin Xiaomei. How could anyone eat like this these days? Generally, every household has a stove, just like Huang Gui's family, which is just a big pot. When guests come, his wife stews vegetables first and then stir-fries them.

First stew a dish, then stir-fry two side dishes, and then get a can. This way, you can put together four dishes, which is quite respectable at this time.

For example, those who do errands at home usually set up two stoves temporarily and dismantle them when the errands are done, so as not to leave them in the yard and cause trouble.

This is the first time that Huang Gui, who has lived for forty years, has seen someone like Wang Meilan, who works as a gardener and cooker at home.

After listening to Jin Xiaomei's words, Wang Meilan nodded in agreement, and then said to Huang Gui: "Okay, big brother, that's it for today! When you come back next time, see how my sister-in-law entertains you!"

Huang Gui: "..."

Huang Gui didn't even dare to say a word, thinking that I wouldn't come next time. This time I'm done, your son follows me to my house, I have to kill the donkey for him. What about next time? That’s the only donkey in my house!

After Wang Meilan finished speaking to Huang Gui, she raised her head and glanced at the big clock on the wall, turned to Jin Xiaomei and asked, "Is it time yet?"

Jin Xiaomei also looked at the time and said, "It's almost twenty minutes, okay!"

To steam dumplings, you have to wait for a while after putting the steam in the big pot. If it is vegetarian stuffing, ten or eight points is usually enough. If it's meat filling, it usually takes fifteen minutes.

However, Zhao Jun's stuffing is a big piece of meat, and Wang Meilan also needs to steam a little onion mixed with the meat filling, so the steaming time is a little longer.

When Wang Meilan heard this, she turned around, raised her forearm and stretched out her right hand. Zhao Jun was stunned by this move.

I saw Wang Meilan stretching out her right hand as if to shake hands with someone, then she threw her palm up and shouted: "Help the pot!"

"Start the pot!" Jin Xiaomei shouted immediately, and then she went to the outhouse. Zhao Ling, Yang Yufeng and Xu Chunyan took their belongings and walked out the door.

Wang Meilan said that there were many people at home, so she led others to make 200 large steamed dumplings and steamed three large pots. It just so happened that there was one pot inside Zhao Jun's house and two pots outside.

At this time, Jin Xiaomei, Yang Yufeng, and Xu Chunyan were inside and outside the room. They all held the flat spoons used for making dumplings in one hand, reached around the dumplings, and peeled off the steamed dumplings from the drawer cloth. Then put your other hand into the bowl next to it and dip it in cold water. Then he picked out the dumpling with his hands dipped in cold water.

This is done to prevent the dumplings that have just come out of the pan from being hot. Then, use the flat spoon to stir again, dip your other hand in cold water, and pick up the dumplings one by one on the plate.

Because there are a circle of people sitting on one table, three plates of dumplings must be placed on one table so that everyone can easily pick them up.

They say it’s better to arrive early than to arrive late.

While the three women were picking up dumplings, the foursome came back from get off work.

As they approached the door of their house, Li Dayong, Zhao Youcai and Lin Xiangshun laughed and said, hearing the familiar barking of dogs, "My house has no lights on."

Zhao Youcai and Lin Xiangshun both laughed, but Li Baoyu pointed not far away and said, "Dad, why is there still Liang'er?"

"Oops!" The light was so dark that Li Dayong couldn't see clearly. He couldn't tell what the light source was even after blinking twice.

Only when they entered the Zhao family courtyard could they see clearly. At this time, there was a flashlight placed on the wall separating Zhao and Li's family. The flashlight was shining on the two large pots in the Zhao family's courtyard.

Yang Yufeng stood in front of one pot, and Xu Chunyan stood in front of the other pot. At the moment, both of them are picking up dumplings, and between them stands Zhao Ling.

Zhao Ling did not pick up the dumplings, but held a bowl in one hand. The bowls were filled with cold water for the two of them to dip their hands in.

"What a day it is..." Zhao Youcai muttered in a low voice. He felt that ever since he finished eating the butchered pork, his house had become more and more lively day by day.

"Brother-in-law!" Zhao Ling said hello first when she saw Zhao Youcai coming back.

Facing his brother-in-law and his wife, Zhao Youcai did not dare to neglect and responded with a busy smile: "Hey, here we come!"

At this time, Yang Yufeng and Xu Chunyan also greeted the people who came back. Just when all the dumplings were picked up, Zhao Ling shouted: "Baoyu, open the door for us."

Li Baoyu happily agreed and ran quickly to the door. Zhao Ling, Yang Yufeng, and Xu Chunyan advanced in sequence.

I saw the plates of large steamed dumplings, which were really thin in skin and large in filling. The hot dumpling skin was called very translucent in Zhao Jun’s hometown dialect, and the filling could be seen through the skin.

As Zhao Youcai, Li Dayong, Li Baoyu and Lin Xiangshun came in, the four of them couldn't help but exchange greetings with Huang Gui. All four of them actually knew Huang Gui.

After the greetings, everyone sat down at two tables. Looking at the delicious food on the table, Zhao Youcai, as the host, picked up the wine glass first. Today, as a guest, Huang Gui replaced Li Dayong and sat on the edge of the Kang with Zhao Youcai.

Zhao Youcai held the cup and gestured to Huang Gui: "Brother, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years. It's rare for you to come over today. We have a light wine and a simple banquet. You treat it as your own home, use your chopsticks more, eat and drink well." "

After working in the cafeteria for so many years, there are always people coming and going, and what Zhao Youcai said during the scene was pretty good.

After having a glass of wine, Zhao Youcai picked up his chopsticks and greeted everyone to eat. This table is almost filled with hard dishes.

What satisfied Zhao Jun the most was the steamed dumplings stuffed with roe deer meat. This dumpling is just like what Wang Meilan said, the onions are steamed and filled with a big meat egg!

Since a lot of soup is stirred in, after steaming, a burst of soup will emerge when you bite open the dumpling wrapper. At this time, the dumplings were hot and the soup was hot to the mouth. Zhao Jun could only let it flow into the bowl.

Zhao Jun likes to eat dumplings empty-mouthed or dipped in chili oil. Originally, there was only chili oil in his bowl. At this time, the soup in the dumplings flows into the bowl. The soup and chili oil are clearly layered, with the soup on the outside and the oil on the inside. There is also oil in the dumpling filling, so you can still see golden oil flowers floating on the red chili oil!

Zhao Jun ate four large steamed dumplings in a row. There was already a bowl of soup and oil in the bowl. Zhao Jun drank it all in one gulp and felt it was extremely delicious.

At this time, he picked up another gaba dumpling. This dumpling is slightly charred and crispy on the outside. This is because the dumplings are placed in circles when they are steamed. The outermost circle of dumplings is close to the edge of the pot, and the outside is like a rice crust.

Zhao Jun felt almost full after eating five dumplings. At this time, the rest of the group also started to drink.

The crowd gathered together to brag and whine, almost all drunk at this time!

Except for Zhao Jun, Li Baoyu and Xie Chen, the rest Zhao Youcai, Li Dayong, Wang Qiang, Lin Xiangshun, Huang Gui, and Zhang Yuanmin all drank too much!

If you drink too much, it will be interesting to talk about wine!

Just listen to Wang Qiang say to Huang Gui: "Brother Huang, how did I hear that you have two nicknames? They say that when you live in Lingnan, you are called Huang Laopi, but when you come to us, you are called Huang Dali!"

"Fuck!" Huang Gui cursed, but he didn't scold Wang Qiang. He just heard him say: "Then you're not that bad guy. What's your name?"

It had been a long time, and because he drank a lot of wine, Huang Gui couldn't even remember it. At this time, he turned to Zhao Youcai and asked: "Brother Zhao, that cook of yours, the rotten one, what the hell did you call Zhang?"

"Zhang Zhanshan!" Zhao Youcai, who had drunk too much, mentioned his rival and cursed: "Zhang Zhanshan, that bastard!"

"That's it!" Huang Gui said: "That's the damn thing he named me Huang Donkey!"

"Oh, Brother Huang!" At this time, Zhang Yuanmin interrupted: "Isn't it normal for us villagers to have nicknames? I'm still called Big Crotch?"

"Huh?" I have to say that Huang Gui had a very deep and good impression of Zhang Yuanmin. After hearing Zhang Yuanmin's words, Huang Gui said in surprise: "Didn't you tell me what your name is, little Zhuge?"

"Oops!" Zhang Yuanmin waved his hand and said, "Your brothers have many nicknames. Not only these two, there is also Wei Yan..."

"Ah..." Huang Gui didn't seem to understand very well, but after drinking too much, something suddenly came to his mind. He suddenly turned to Zhao Youcai and said, "Brother Zhao, I just remembered, that Zhang... Zhang, what are you paying back?" You give me a nickname, stupid dog Zhao Pao!"

Zhao Youcai: "..."

Thanks to the brothers for the monthly tickets, I will continue to work hard to update, first make sure to update once a day, and then strive to update three times a day. Owing money is more like owing money. It will be paid back slowly, but it must be paid back!
