Chapter 350: The Beggar's Version of Steamed Bear's Paws
It was a bit early to set up camp, so even if the shelter had been set up and enough firewood had been collected, the sun still had half of its head hanging on the snowy mountains to the west.
When the sun shines, the white ridges are painted with a layer of golden yellow, which is particularly magnificent.
By the fire, Liu Danqing took out his mobile phone and interacted with the audience.
And Xiao Weiwei had already taken out her mobile phone and chatted while taking care of the roast bear meat.
Seeing Liu Danqing coming over, she said a little distressed: "Qingqing, many viewers think that we eat bear meat, which is too cruel." ”
Of course, after all, the movement of the bear meat in her hands has not slowed down.
"Cruel?" Liu Danqing was stunned for a moment, thought about it, organized the language, and said: "I think it, whether hunting wild animals is cruel or not, it depends on the purpose." Our ancestors have finally climbed to the top of the food chain after a lot of hardships, otherwise they would now be eaten as human beings. ”
"And the protection of wild animals, that is to protect some scarce animals, to prevent regional extinction, take bears as an example, the United States is the most lively in wildlife protection, but in New Jersey, the government will issue bear meat cooking guidelines before the bear hunt season every year, encouraging citizens to hunt black bears. ”
"As long as there is no abuse and killing for pleasure in this process, that's it. ”
"And this bear, it wants to kill us, we kill it, this is doomed to its fate, we eat some of its meat, it is also in line with the laws of nature, the weak eat the strong, if the weak is us, it is we who are eaten. ”
After talking for a while, Liu Danqing also felt bored, it was impossible for one person to make everyone like, so he changed the topic and said: "When it's time to order songs, who do you want to listen to?"
Even if there are some spices, but the lack of salt at the top of Baiwei, there is no substitute for sugar, and there is no fruit such as lemon citrus with some fresh taste, so the taste is average, and the two of them failed to poison it.
After that, there is the steamed bear paw that countless people are looking forward to, this thing has always been a legend, and in the name of the dish in the cross talk, the second is it.
"Steamed lambs, steamed bear's paws, steamed deer tails"
It's really popular.
waited until more than twelve o'clock in the evening, steamed for seven or eight hours, and under the urging of Xiao Weiwei, Liu Danqing began to take out the bear's paws.
Removing the fire and digging away a thin layer of soil from the bear's paws, two tender yellow leaves emitting white steam were revealed.
Two large packages were pinched out with a branch, placed on the ground, and then the leaves were picked open with a mountain knife, and the two steamed bear paws were exposed.
"It's ugly! It's not as good as in the movie, Qingqing, are you lazy? ”
Xiao Weiwei saw the true face of the bear's paw and looked disgusted, questioning Liu Danqing's cooking skills on behalf of the audience.
Liu Danqing smiled helplessly: "It is very difficult to deal with bear paws, first soak the bear paws in water for 1 day, then scrub them with hot alkaline water to remove the greasy and dirt, wash them and put them in a pot of cold water, simmer them for about 2 hours with slow heat, so that they can pluck off the palm hair with their hands, scrape off the calluses on the palms, and then wash them with water." ”
"And this is still the easiest method, but also the most effective method, the high-end one, you need to soak it in warm water for a few days, and the dry bear paw, the longest way to deal with it takes seven days. ”
"We have nothing, so we can only use the most primitive method, using a knife to peel off a layer of bear paw and belt hair, anyway, steaming and eating, so that it is convenient to taste. ”
While explaining, Liu Danqing took off the pieces of collagen-filled meat on the bear's paws and put them on a few leaves, while Xiao Weiwei nodded, expressing her forgiveness for Liu Danqing's violent nature.
However, before Liu Danqing could take off all the meat on the bear's paws, Xiao Weiwei exclaimed again: "Qingqing, some lawyers said that killing bears abroad is also a crime, and they said that it is under the jurisdiction of people." ”
Liu Danqing sneered while dealing with it: "Grandstanding guys, stupid birds, don't pay attention to those people, according to this statement, those who go to Macau to gamble money, one catches the other, and it is all gambling crimes." There are also those who went to Thailand to watch ladyboy performances, and after returning to China, they were all arrested and gathered to fornicate. ”
"These things are still lawyers, it's nonsense, these days, some lawyers are almost the same as the brick family, it's all eyeball economy, and I can't see the quality and persistence of a legal person. ”
As a student of the law, Liu Danqing is naturally very dissatisfied with some guys who jump up and down and find opportunities to attract attention, these guys patronize themselves to be famous, but they don't want to think about how much misunderstanding they will cause to the masses.
"Dangdangdang, the bear's paw is done, but unfortunately the wood has honey and salt, how does it taste, and please make a comment on Miss Weiwei. ”
"Hmm! delicious, really good, but the good is not the taste, the taste is actually average, but the taste is very good, all gelatinous, and a little bit of silk. ”
Liu Danqing also picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, and said intoxicatedly: "Eating bear paws! Eating is a feeling, the more ferocious the beast, the more obvious this feeling is." ”
"Before the Qing Dynasty, the bear's paw was not in the mountain eight treasures, until the Jurchens entered the customs, after the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, the bear's paw was listed as the eight treasures, so that Hanchen used the way to eat the bear's paw to show his loyalty, proving that he abandoned the ancestors and submitted to the court.
"At that time, the bear's paw cuisine was not so luxurious, but those Hanchen were who could eat it, so they continued to develop a variety of recipes, such as honey-steamed bear's paws, braised bear's paws, white grilled bear's paws, and elegant, called palm pearls, and later these dishes spread among the people, and the officials ate them, which were naturally good things. ”
This wave of poisoning finally succeeded, and the audience began to pull banners, all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred.
Of course, there are also some environmental activists, or pseudo-environmental activists who are swearing wildly.
"Well, someone is calling us cruel again!" Xiao Weiwei ate while looking at the comments in the live broadcast room.
"Hey, this is cruelty? Then you don't eat pork, chicken, beef, mutton, and killing them won't be cruel?"
"In fact, what is really cruel is some of the food eaten by many so-called upper class people, and it is also the high-end food that some environmentalists talk about. ”
"For example?" Xiao Weiwei is now boasting first-class skills.
"For example, foie gras, the best foie gras in the world is in Hungary, and there are many foie gras in China, so how did the fatty foie gras come about?"
"During the 12 weeks after the goose is born, the keeper increases the amount of food the goose eats day by day, and the goose's stomach is trained to be as strong as steel. After 12 weeks, each goose keeper is force-fed about 12 kilograms of corn and cereals a daily mixture to completely fill the goose's stomach. Before the goose has digested the food of the previous meal, it is fed the next meal for several weeks. This is a "fatty liver" that is 6-10 times larger than normal foie gras. Isn't it cruel?"
"And those who like to eat fish roe, crab roe? What do you say? Hunters who are considered cruel know that pregnant mothers cannot be killed. So these people should think carefully about what is cruel. ”
Now that it's okay, Comrade Liu Danqing began to lose fans, and some people began to reprimand him angrily, and then took him away.
However, the number of people in the live broadcast room has increased instead of decreasing, after all, in the big foodie empire, Liu Danqing is a true temperament and a real foodie.
After enjoying a luxurious supper, Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei began to prepare to rest, still taking turns to keep vigil.
But the night wasn't easy.
"Whew"
At one o'clock in the morning, a terrible wolf howl sounded not far away, waking up Liu Danqing, who was sleeping.
Liu Danqing Huo Ran got up, grabbed the spear placed beside him, and walked out of the shelter.
"Qingqing, is it a wolf?" Xiao Weiwei, who was on vigil at night, was already guarding outside with a wooden spear, and was constantly turning her head to look around.
"This cry, it must be a wolf, that howl is calling for companions, wolves are social animals, and they will cooperate with the hunt, we are being targeted by wolves, trouble. ”
Throwing a few pieces of pine into the fire to make the fire burn more vigorously, Liu Danqing said to Xiao Weiwei: "Weiwei, you go to sleep for a while first, I'll keep an eye on it, these guys are still afraid of fire, it's okay, go ahead." ”
Xiao Weiwei shook her head and refused: "It's just over one o'clock now, you go and sleep for another two hours to change me." ”
"I can't sleep, I was woken up just after falling asleep, you go, come and change me when you wake up, go go, go. ”
Liu Danqing coaxed Xiao Weiwei into the shelter to sleep, and sat by the fire with a spear in his hand.
"Audience friends, where we are now, there are top predator black bears and secondary predator wolves one after another, which means that there is a lot of food nearby, but I don't think it's a rich place, it's weird. ”
However, the audience's attention was no longer on Liu Danqing's strangeness, but asked:
"Wolves are secondary predators? Wrong, wolves are so powerful, there are all over the world, and they are already invincible. ”
"Yes, we have an old saying in Gada: It is better to meet tigers and bears than to meet wolves and poor (herds). ”
Liu Danqing paid attention to the situation around him, looked at the comments on his mobile phone, and explained: "This predator level still depends on whether the animal has natural enemies, of course, this must be deducted from humans, humans are the natural enemies of all animals." ”
"Apex predators are those that have no natural predators, such as lions, tigers, bears, Nile crocodiles, killer whales, sperm whales, etc., which are all predators at the very top in their respective environments. Wolves are classified as secondary predators because they have natural predators. ”
"But the audience just said right, I'd rather meet tigers and bears than wolves and poor now!"
"The tiger bear is a heads-up, and the wolf is a group fight, so it is easy to kill a tiger and bear without injury, and it is too difficult to kill a wolf without injury. ”
"From the history of evolution, it can also be seen that during the Pleistocene-Holocene, there were three major predators, moa, saber-toothed tiger, and wolf, and the wolf was the weakest, but knowing that now, the wolf still exists, and the change is not very big, relying on unity. ”
"Of course, humans, who are more united than wolves, end up at the top of the food chain. ”
