Chapter 526 Preliminary Work

Ayin went to feed the birds, water the flowers, tidy up the vegetable patch, clean the vegetable patch, pack up, and when everything was done, Li Junge removed the kiln fire, and the two ran to the beach.

Passing by the outlet of the small lake, the two stopped, Li Junge tied a basket to the stone by the stream, Ayin cut off the cassava skin, cut the cassava into pieces and put it in the basket to soak and rinse.

When he came to the beach, Ayin went to the tidal flat to catch skin shrimp and collect and clean seaweed and sea cabbage, while Li Junge went to the forest to cut down fine bamboo and weave long bamboo cage traps to catch strange crabs.

The two of them were busy until three o'clock in the afternoon, except for a meal of coconut juice and bread biscuits and seaweed in the middle.

After arranging the five long cage traps properly, Li Junge split the coconut and threw it to the ground according to the old method, and then went to the tidal flat to find Ayin.

Seeing him coming, Ayin smiled and said, "Erpi, are you done over there?"

Li Junge said: "There are five traps installed, whether there is such a stuttering blessing or not, it depends on the luck of the guests themselves!"

Ayin said, "I've caught fifteen pipi shrimp here, that's almost enough, right?"

Li Junge said with a smile: "I don't know if there will be a fight in a cage, whatever, first find a puddle to raise and spit mud." ”

The large basket containing the shrimp is carried to the edge of a puddle and tied to a fixed reef with hemp rope, so that even if the tide rises and falls a few times, the cage will not be washed away by the waves.

Then they came back to help Ayin clean the mud on his arms and legs, and the two went back along the way, collecting coconuts, papayas, strange loquats, and snakeskin nuts for hospitality, and of course not forgetting those ripe peppers.

Back at home, Li Junge opened the kiln to take the bowl, and then fired the last kiln.

Ayin began to scrape the pork rind with a hot water knife.

Li Junge peeled off the fine bamboo shoots dug up in the morning, boiled them in water, cut them into shreds, and soaked them in water.

I didn't hold my mouth, so I mixed a portion of mushroom oil, wild onions, red oil, and salt for myself, ready to get over my mouth first.

Then boil a large pot of water, add ginger slices after boiling, and put sausages, bacon, and pig ears into it and cook them.

After half an hour, these are fished out and put in a basket to dry, and they can be used and cut for the next few days.

The soup that had been boiled with bacon and sausages was kept, and Li Junge also sprinkled some dried mushrooms and a few dried bamboo shoots into it and boiled it.

If you can get pheasants and bamboo rats tomorrow, then you can make a pot of nine buckets of broth.

Dinner is mixed with shredded bamboo shoots, bacon sausages, bread and cassava porridge.

Ayin had already cleaned all the flesh with skin and came over to eat together.

After eating and feeding the quails, the two practiced archery for a while, and it was getting close to dusk.

Li Junge removed the kiln fire, brought two large fish baskets, and went to the lake with Ayin to play, fishing by the way, and placing wild duck traps.

On the opposite side of the lake, there is a soil slope above the water, extending to the middle of the reed, connecting a small continent, that area is a gathering place for all kinds of waterfowl, Li Junge has long been optimistic.

The duck trap is also similar to the pheasant and bamboo rat, but you need to bring your own bamboo pole as an elastic device.

After planting the bamboo poles, Li Junge set up five traps along the ridge outside the small island, sprinkled bait, and camouflaged it with the tips of reed leaves.

Then go to the outlet and use chicken feather bait fishing to trick the gillo fish.

Dusk is also the peak window for fish activity, which is the best time to collect catches.

Almost let Li Junge connect the rod, in addition to the gillo fish, military fish, and dace are also grabbing food on the water.

Dace meat can be added to the meatballs, Li Junge left a big one, the military fish can be made into sweet and sour fish chopped pepper fish, Li Junge left two or so two catties, the Jiluo fish was not big, Li Junge left three more than a catty.

Every time he slipped over one, Ayin grinned and stretched out the net to copy the fish: "Erpi, you are really good at fishing, this fish is lined up!"

Li Junge said: "That's why I don't like to come to this lake to fish in the morning and evening, it's like a vegetable market, and there is no fun of fishing at all......

That being said, it took two people three hours to catch the catch, and it was already dark.

Li Junge took out a twist and lit the torch, propped up the bamboo raft to the edge of the well and stopped, put a single basket of Jiro fish, a basket of military fish and dace, hung the fish basket on a rope, and put it in one place with the baskets of the first few catfish.

came back and smiled at Ayin: "The bottom is guaranteed, if you can't catch the strange crab, pheasant and bamboo rat, you won't be able to lose the whole fish banquet at one table!"

Ah Yin also smiled: "That's it, how can you not lose the face of our number one foodie in Lijiagou!"

The two laughed all the way home, played the flute with folk songs, played two games of chess, Li Junge threw all the elbows and pig's trotters into the big clay pot and boiled them, and then went to bed.

In the early morning of the forty-ninth day, before dawn, Li Junge got up and went to the Houshan bamboo forest with torches to inspect the traps.

If you want to catch it alive, this hemp rope must be kept long, but the pheasant is not afraid, and the bamboo rat does not go early, but he is afraid that he will bite off the rope and run.

Came to the rat path to inspect the results, ten traps, four did not move, two did not bounce, one rope was bitten off, and three ropes were dragged under the roots of small bushes.

Li Junge carefully followed the rope and took out two large, one small and three bamboo rats from under the root of the tree.

The bamboo rat had a temper with Li Jiagou, and after being caught, he threatened Li Junge with "ha-" and "ha-".

Li Junge laughed, let go of the small one, and put the big two into the cage.

Two bamboo rats are seven or eight catties, and how can they be enough for a pot with winter bamboo shoots.

After destroying all the traps, Li Junge went to inspect the chicken hall again.

The chickens caught two, and they were not small, but the breed made Li Junge smile bitterly.

It turned out to be a white pheasant.

There is also a female, I don't know what breed, this season is the season of beating the male or not the female, Li Junge had to let it go.

Tie the wings and feet of the white pheasant with hay, Li Junge restored the trap, and there was still a wave of silence when the pheasant came out of the hall in the morning, if he was unlucky, then he could only use a torch to shine on the tree at night and play with a bow and arrow.

Bringing the white pheasant and the bamboo rat, Li Junge returned home.

Ayin is shooting arrows, and now there are four black and white circles drawn on the target, and Ayin's archery skills are getting better and better.

Seeing the red-faced, black-bellied and white-backed long-tailed chicken that Li Junge was carrying, Ah Yin was surprised: "Erpi! This is a white pheasant! You don't want to eat it, do you?"

Li Junge smiled: "How is it possible! You haven't seen the white pheasant up close, so I'll just bring it over to show you." ”

Ayin touched the black crown feathers on the top of the white flycatcher's head with his little hand, and then touched its long tail, and said, "It's so beautiful, this tail feather is so wide, so long......"

Li Junge said: "This is also a fellow countryman, I originally caught a mother, but I don't know if it was his daughter-in-law, so I let it go at that time." ”

Ayin smiled: "Then you can quickly reunite other people's husbands and wives! ”

Li Junge cut off the hay rope on the white flycatcher's wings, and then let go of its feet, and when the white bird flapped its wings, he raised his hand like a hemp head, and the white bird flew like a beautiful kite to the bushes behind the house, and ran all the way after landing and disappeared into the woods.

Ayin sighed: "It's so beautiful!"

Li Junge shook his head: "Beauty is beauty, but the chicken soup has not yet landed, and the nine bucket bowls are not complete without buttoning the chicken and duck......"

Ah Yin couldn't help laughing: "Do you want to be so serious! They don't understand, more than a dozen dishes are not enough for them to eat?!"

Li Junge thought about it, he really did it according to his hometown, when it came to eating, why did he become so serious?

smiled dumbly and said, "The devil is stunned, but the bamboo rat caught two, and this is another dish!"

He took two clay pots, put the bamboo rats in them, pressed wooden boards and stones on them, and smiled at Ayin: "If they can run away tomorrow, even if they die!"

After breakfast, Li Junge fished out the boiled pork knuckle from the soup can, the elbow was already soft, and the hooves had to be fried in oil to make tiger skin lines, and then boiled.

Roast the pork belly with skin, then soak it in cold water to remove the salt, look up and say to Ayin, "Do you want to add a cherry meat?"

Ayin said with a smile: "I don't know how the teams are doing during this time, you are suddenly oil, sugar and fat, I'm afraid that they will have diarrhea after eating!"

Li Junge thought for a while, and said with a smile: "You still want to get a seat, different guests have to arrange different dishes according to their habits and tastes, this is what Jin Lao Er has ordered to mention." ”

Before leaving for the beach, Li Junge went to the back mountain bamboo forest again.

Maybe the pheasants were hungry all night, and when they came out of the hall, they were in a hurry, and five sets of five sets actually caught two pheasants.

Li Junge brought the pheasant back and laughed at Ayin: "Ayin, when you no longer have hope, surprises often follow. There's nowhere to make sense!"

The pheasants were tied, the baskets were buckled upside down in the quail shed, and the two set off for the beach.

It was late today, and the two of them had breakfast on the edge of the woods, and they were wandering along the reef beach.

Seeing Li Junge touching everywhere, Ah Yin couldn't help but ask curiously, "Erpi, what are you doing here?"

Li Junge said: "You said that the little octopus you caught last time is not the same as squid and cuttlefish?"

Ayin laughed: "You don't want to make cuttlefish stew?"

Li Junge came to the edge of a steep reef, felt something shiny, and said, "I'll throw it five times, if not, we'll give up this dish and change it to stewed chicken soup!" ”

Ayin leaned his head to see that it was a pottery pendant, slightly long S-shaped, like the body of a shrimp, covered with sequins, reflecting dazzling light in the sun.

Ah Yin's eyes narrowed when he was shaken: "What are you here, why are you still shiny?"

Li Junge said with a smile: "It's very simple, take the shell and grind it like a knife, cut off the narrow line of nacre on the edge of the shell after the edge is thinned, and then chop it and sprinkle it on the lacquered pottery pendant, this hand is learned from Uncle Craftsman!"

Ah Yin said: "There is no comparison, how beautiful is the luodian inlay of Uncle Craftsman, you ...... It's like a glowing fat locust!"

Li Junge was not only not angry, but was very happy: "Even you said that you are like a fat bug, and you must like the things in the sea!"
