The whole mountain is my hunting ground

Shabanji, also known as Shabanjin.

As the name suggests, the weight is about half a catty.

With such a small gadget, if the hair is removed and the internal organs are pulled out, there will be even less left.

There are only these two taels left, and there are still bones in them.

So these days, it's rare to see it as a good toy. People mostly hit it as a way to hunt squirrels or something.

It was probably after 1992, when the living standards of urban residents were relatively better, that people gradually turned their attention to game and mountain products.

Zhao Jun remembers that in 1994, a roe deer weighing 50 to 60 kilograms could be sold for nearly 300 yuan in mountainous areas, and a pair of chickens could be sold for 70 yuan.

There is another reason why people don’t recognize Shabanji now, and that’s the cooking technique.

I remember that it was the first year when it snowed. Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu used a net to catch sand-and-half chickens in the mountains. When they caught it that time, they made a fire in the yard, threw the chickens, including their feathers, into the fire and burned them.

This year, the conditions at home have improved, and the pursuit of food has also improved. Wang Meilan said that she would fry half of the chicken.

I have to say, this little thing is fried with good ingredients and becomes crispy and soft, even the bones can be chewed.

The other half is just like what Xiaoling Ding said, roast it the same way as a beggar's chicken. In order to try this new way of eating, Zhang Yuanmin mixed loess with mud, while Wang Qiang and Xie Chen wrapped each chicken with corn leaves.

The bract leaves that people here refer to are the bract leaves of corn, which are the leaves that wrap the corn cobs, not the big long green leaves that grow on the corn stalks.

These corn leaves can be fed to ruminant animals, and it was Zhao Jun's suggestion to use them to wrap half a chicken in sand.

After all, no one else has seen it, but he, Zhao Jun, has seen it. If you want to make a beggar's chicken, shouldn't the outside of the chicken be wrapped in a lotus leaf?

If you don’t have lotus leaves on hand right now, you can just use corn leaves instead.

The white-striped sand-and-half chickens had been decapitated, and their little claws were broken off from the joints and stuffed into their chambers.

After being wrapped in two layers of corn leaves, Zhao Jun and others used yellow mud to cover it.

Then light a fire in the stove pit, remove the big pot on top, place a piece of No. 8 wire mesh around the gap where the big pot is placed, and place the beggar's chickens one by one on the net.

Finally, turn the big pot upside down and put the half-roasted chicken in it. In this case, the firewood is roasting in the pit, and the large pot is used to bake the beggar's chicken.

At this time of year, it gets dark just after four o'clock.

As the days get shorter, the forest farm gets off work an hour earlier.

At five o'clock, the forest farm's closing bell rang, and workers came out of the forest farm in groups of three and two to catch the commute home.

"Second uncle!"

"uncle!"

When Li Baoyu and Lin Xiangshun came from the motorcade, they saw Zhao Youcai walking in front, so they ran over.

When Zhao Youcai saw it was the two of them, he nodded slightly but said nothing.

"Second uncle!" Lin Xiangshun glanced around and saw that everyone else was far away, so he asked Zhao Youcai in a low voice: "Pigs are being killed in the canteen today, why didn't you go back to get the meat?"

As the old saying goes!

If the cook does not steal, the grain will not be harvested.

Lin Xiangshun had lived in the Zhao family for two years, and he knew Zhao Youcai quite well. This canteen kills pigs, and as the master chef, Zhao Youcai either gets a strip of tenderloin or a strip of pork belly.

But today Zhao Youcai was empty-handed. The aluminum lunch box he usually kept in his hands was gone today.

Lin Xiangshun didn't have a mouth to talk to, nor did he want meat. He just asked casually out of curiosity.

Li Baoyu, who was standing next to Lin Xiangshun's question, looked at Zhao Youcai with a smile. He was just too idle and wanted to listen to someone talk.

"Alas!" But what Lin Xiangshun and Li Baoyu didn't expect was that Zhao Youcai sighed and said, "If I don't take it anymore, what's the use of it?"

"Huh?" Lin Xiangshun and Li Baoyu looked at each other, feeling that something was wrong with Zhao Youcai today.

"Second uncle!" Lin Xiangshun asked in surprise, "Who did you give the meat to?"

"No." Zhao Youcai said weakly: "I didn't want to. I didn't even go before the pig was slaughtered today."

"Ah?" Lin Xiangshun was startled, feeling that something was wrong with Zhao Youcai today, while Li Baoyu smiled and said: "Brother Shunzi, my uncle is thinking that now that our family is not short of that meat, what else are we doing with it? "

After hearing what Li Baoyu said, Lin Xiangshun felt that it would be reasonable to say so.

At this moment, Li Dayong followed Wu Feng and two others from the office building. When he saw Zhao Youcai and his party, Li Dayong and Wu Feng separated and came to join the three of them.

When he came closer, Li Dayong nodded to Lin Xiangshun, and then asked Zhao Youcai, "Brother, what did you do at noon? Didn't you look at me while I was eating?"

"Ah." Seeing that he was his best brother, Zhao Youcai endured his fatigue and replied, "We'll put it off for today."

"That's right!" After listening to what Li Dayong said, Lin Xiangshun also remembered that he didn't see Zhao Youcai while eating at noon. Combined with the fact that Zhao Youcai didn't take the lunch box, Lin Xiangshun felt something was wrong, so he hurriedly asked Zhao Youcai: "Second uncle, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with you?"

"Huh?" Li Dayong suddenly became nervous when he heard this. He took a step forward to squeeze away from Li Baoyu, appeared next to Zhao Youcai, and asked, "Brother, are you unhappy?"

"No, no." Zhao Youcai shook his head and said, "I just feel tired."

"Tired?" Li Baoyu interjected: "Didn't you sleep well?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Dayong pushed his elbow to the side and punched Li Baoyu directly.

No way, there are no messy movies, TV shows and publications these days. Unmarried people and married people are two different kinds of people.

"It's okay." Lin Xiangshun helped smooth things over and said, "It's probably a cold. Just go home and eat, take two painkillers and sleep."

"Yeah!" Li Dayong was thinking of something to say that would make Zhao Youcai happy, so he looked around and said to Zhao Youcai, "Brother, Wu Feng just told me that he wanted you to take some time to catch some wild boars?"

Zhao Youcai frowned and said, "Didn't I let you tell him last time? His troubles were in vain."

Since the rise of Zhao Jun's dog gang and the ability to capture wild boars alive, these people in the forest farm have given gifts and connections. They are not satisfied with sending wild boars dead, but also want to give away wild boars alive.

Because those who work in the forestry department are close to forest farms and forest areas.

They gave gifts, all of which were wild boars, roe deer, bear paws, and flying dragons.

In this context, when others are sending dead wild boars, you send live pigs, which is like standing out from the crowd!

Therefore, in order to compete for the position of production director, the three heads of the statistics, dispatching, and acceptance groups wanted the Zhao family to help them catch wild boars.

Xu Baoshan, the leader of the acceptance team, approached Zhao Jun directly and handed over this batch of work to the Zhao family.

Wu Feng originally sent a message to Zhao Youcai through Li Dayong, wanting to hand over these jobs to the Zhao family hunting gang.

But unknown to others, Zhao Youcai knew that the position of the production director had been decided, and that was Liu Renshan, the head of the statistics team.

Otherwise, Zhao Youcai is very particular about his life and work. In this case, he did not focus on making money, but asked Zhao Jun and Li Dayong to reject the wild boar ordered by Xu Baoshan and Wu Feng.

For this reason, Zhao Jun also made a special trip to Xu Baoshan's house. But Xu Baoshan had a long-term view and thought that he could not use and pay now, so he not only did not cancel the order, but also placed an additional order with Zhao Jun.

But Wu Feng said before that if this was the case, then he wouldn't want the wild boar. But today, he told Li Dayong that he also wanted Zhao Youcai to help him with this favor.

"Didn't I say so!" Li Dayong looked around and saw that there was no outsider within two meters, so he leaned into Zhao Youcai's ear and whispered in Zhao Youcai's ear: "It seems that Old Fan from Yinglin is about to be transferred. Isn't this..."

"Ah!" Zhao Youcai's eyes lit up, and he realized clearly in his heart that it turned out that Fan Zhisheng of the forest farm was leaving to make room for the three team leaders.

But at this moment, Zhao Youcai seemed to hear Wang Meilan's voice again in a daze.

"If you have money to fight for siege, the more you fight, the more you will lose."

"Huh?" Zhao Youcai was excited and his body trembled involuntarily.

Li Dayong saw this and asked hurriedly: "What's going on, brother?"

"It's okay." Zhao Youcai shook his head and said he was okay.

"Ah..." Li Dayong thought differently, thinking that Zhao Youcai had been away from home for several days a while ago. After returning, Mr. Xie Sun stayed at his house for a few more days, which prevented Zhao Youcai and Wang Meilan from getting together.

Yesterday and the day before yesterday, they finally got together, and the couple felt very, very hot.

"Brother." Seeing that he was about to reach the gate, Li Dayong asked Zhao Youcai, "Let's see if we get off work again, we brothers can also go up to the mountain to fight!"

To be honest, Li Dayong’s hands are itching unbearably after not going up the mountain for a long time or hunting!

"Let's talk about it later." Zhao Youcai said perfunctorily: "Don't agree to him yet, it's still not certain whether it will happen or not?"

"Huh?" As soon as Zhao Youcai said this, Li Dayong, Li Baoyu, and Lin Xiangshun all looked at him in surprise.

This is not the Zhao Youcai they know!

Just as Zhang Guoqing, the director of the canteen, thought at noon, Zhao Youcai heard that he could make money by selling meat during the siege. He must be like a monkey or a dog. He shouldn't be so half-dead. Lively.

"How can it not be possible?" Li Dayong said in shock: "Let's ask that guy with a big tongue. He always tries to trick us into the mountains. Let him tell us where there are pigs, and then we can get the dogs to knock them down."

"Alas!" Zhao Youcai especially liked to sigh today because he felt that there was a blockage in his chest and down his throat.

What was uncomfortable was that the breath could neither go up nor come down. It was so tight and congested that Zhao Youcai just wanted to burp comfortably.

But this feeling is ultimately a psychological effect, coming from emotions, not the body. Under this situation, Zhao Youcai didn't eat much for lunch today. He didn't have a burp to protect him, so he could only sigh to relieve the depression in his heart.

"Brother, you..." Li Dayong frowned and looked at Zhao Youcai with some confusion. He thought to himself that you were tired at night, so you wouldn't sigh?

"Ah..." Li Dayong suddenly thought that his eldest brother was also a man running forty-five. Maybe it... hurt his confidence!

As a good brother, Li Dayong had thousands of things to say to Zhao Youcai at this time, but there were two juniors beside him, and he was afraid of hurting Zhao Youcai's self-esteem, so he swallowed the words that came to his lips.

At this moment, a voice in the distance sounded: "Big Horn, do you want to order the wild boar? If you don't order it, I won't queue you up!"

"Li Ruhai!" A high-pitched voice sounded, and Cui Daxiao shouted: "You damn kid, no matter how big or small, are you the one who called Daxiao?"

After hearing the conversation between the two people, Li Baoyu secretly made a decision in his heart: "I can't let this kid compete!"

Thinking of this, Li Baoyu grabbed Li Dayong's arm and said, "Dad, please promise your team leader that if he wants those two wild boars, our Zhao family will help him settle the matter."

"You Zhao family..." Li Dayong was startled, and then shouted at Li Baoyu: "Get out of here, you bastards! We can catch them ourselves!"

Li Baoyu was sprayed with spittle, but he didn't dare to talk back.

Li Dayong glared at his eldest son, then turned back to Zhao Youcai and said, "Brother, you are the leader of our hunting gang. You have to say something. We can't let these little brats compete!"

"No, dad, what are you talking about?" Li Baoyu protested from the side.

Li Dayong glared at Li Baoyu, then turned back to Zhao Youcai and said, "Brother, we can't let these little bastards ride on our head? This is the time to become famous. Let me tell you, I'll take these jobs." !”

"Brother!" Zhao Youcai sighed softly and said to Li Dayong, "Don't make any progress about it yet."

Li Dayong took a deep look at Zhao Youcai. Although Li Dayong was impatient, he also knew that he could not force Zhao Youcai at this time.

Along the way, Zhao Youcai and Li Dayong leaned on their seats and remained silent, while Lin Xiangshun and Li Baoyu watched Li Ruhai go left and right, and from time to time took a notebook to write down something.

After returning to Yong'an Village, the group went to Zhao Jun's house.

In the past, after returning to the village, even if Zhao Youcai asked for dinner, Lin Xiangshun had to go home first. But now, when he entered the village, he didn't even go home, but followed directly to Zhao's house.

When they approached the door of Zhao Jun's house, the dogs in the yard started barking, and they caught up with Zhao Jun and others cooking pot in the yard.

There are two pots, one pot is stewed with sauerkraut, big bones, and blood sausage, and the other pot is turned upside down, which is stewed with beggarsha half chicken.

Wang Qiang was holding a big basin, and Zhang Yuanmin was filling it with braised sauerkraut; Jie Chen was holding a big basin, and Zhao Jun was picking up the yellow mud balls and throwing them into the basin.

"elder brother!"

"Brother!"

When he saw Zhao Jun, both the Li brothers came to him. Li Baoyu had information to tell Zhao Jun, but Li Ruhai wanted to ask Zhao Jun for credit.

"Knock the house away!" Zhao Jun waved his hand to Jie Chen, signaling him to carry the basin into the house. But just when he wanted to hear the Li brothers talk, he heard Li Dayong calling him at the door: "Jun, come here, I want to tell you something."

At this time, Zhao Youcai went to Erhei. He needed some comfort from this humane dog.

"You two go inside first." Zhao Jun said to Li Baoyu and Li Ruhai: "If my uncle wants to find me, there must be something big going on."

"Oh!" Li Baoyu and Li Ruhai were a little unhappy, but they didn't dare to stop him.

When Zhao Jun arrived in front of Li Dayong, he was called out by Li Dayong. Under the wicker tent, Li Dayong looked around four times, making Zhao Jun confused.

"Uncle!" Zhao Jun felt a little uneasy and asked cautiously: "What happened?"

"Jun!" Li Dayong glanced at Zhao's courtyard and said to Zhao Jun: "You always go up the mountain and so on. Can you give me a few roe deer whistles?"

At this point, Li Dayong hurriedly added another sentence and said: "Uncle has a friend who wants to use it."

"Ah!" Zhao Jun didn't think much about it when he heard this. The two of them were like a family. Who could hide what bottle of wine was on someone's cabinet? Therefore, Zhao Jun believed that Li Dayong would not make such a fuss with him. He should really be messing around for his friends.

So Zhao Jun said: "Uncle, do you want it too? Then I'll give it to you first."

When doing the same thing, people who are close or far apart must be separated. This is human nature. With Zhao Guofeng on one side and Li Dayong on the other, Zhao Jun must be able to capture Li Dayong!

But after listening to Zhao Jun's words, Li Dayong was suddenly startled and thought to himself: "Yeah?"

After saying that, Zhao Jun greeted Li Dayong with a smile and said, "How big of a deal am I still thinking about? Come on, uncle, let's go into the house. I'm going to fix it, and I'll definitely get you here first."

"No, no." Upon hearing this, Li Dayong waved his hands and said, "Jun, if you don't touch me, you have to touch him first!"

It will be updated at 6 o'clock tomorrow. Starting from tomorrow, if nothing else happens, there will usually be two updates, including one extra chapter.
