Chapter 10 Rules of Survival (1)
The snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, and Du Yunyang was very happy to see that the footprints she had made when she came back in the yard had been completely covered. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This means that the mark she left on the mountain is gone, and the trap she has repaired again, and it is difficult to say what she will gain in a few days.
Du Yuncheng's body is not yet well, and he really needs nutrition, and this roe deer meat is just right. Although Du Yunyang is not very good at handling this roe deer, Du Yuncheng can, but he doesn't have much strength yet, so he can't even hold the knife steadily. So he guided the whole process of handling the roe deer, and Du Yunyang was responsible for doing it.
Fortunately, adversity changed his mood, Du Yunyang was really hungry and afraid, and he was hungry by this roe deer, so he bled from beginning to end, opened his abdomen, peeled his skin, cleaned up his internal organs and dismembered him...... Du Yunyang endured the nausea, but his mind was highly concentrated, and he finished without trembling his hands. It's just that she thought about it and didn't understand why her brother would do this, in her memory he was a somewhat timid child, how could he not be afraid to deal with roe deer easily? But the thought was only for a moment, and she was immediately drawn to the meat, even if it wasn't cooked yet, just raw, bloodshot pieces.
After handling the roe deer, she began to boil the meat, and there was no seasoning at home, only a small half jar of coarse salt and some dried wild peppers, but this was very good. When the meat in the pot was almost cooked, Du Yunyang really felt that there was nothing happier in the world.
By the time a large pot of roe deer meat with soup was served, it was already the end of the day, and the siblings were already so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs. I haven't seen the smell of meat for a year, and the two of them can't care about eating Xiangswen, they almost gobble it up, and soon they even solved a pot of meat and soup.
After eating and drinking, the siblings sat down at the table to eat, and discussed how to preserve the remaining roe deer meat, although it was cold, but if it was not stored well, it would still be bad. There is also the roe deer skin that has been peeled quite completely, how to sell it in the town, and not be cheated at a low price.
"I'm not worried about you going to town alone, or I'll get better in a few days, let's go to town together. I've been to town with my dad a lot before, so I'm familiar with it. Du Yuncheng said that in addition to not believing that his sister had the ability to sell roe deer skins without being caught, the main thing was to go to the town to have a look. He naturally has a lot of things to do in his next life, and although he knows that this is not in a hurry, he still can't wait to go out and have a look. It's boring to stay in this small space for the past few days.
Du Yunyang was also emotional, from the memory of the original owner, she had been to the town three times when she was so old, once when she was seven years old, the Shangyuan Festival, when the whole family went to the town to see the lanterns, and once when she was ten years old, she went to the temple fair in the town with her aunt and cousin to worship the seventh sister. Another time, it was later that she went to the town's hospital for help for her father and brother's illness, but the hospital called Ren Yitang was not benevolent at all. It was the last time that her otherworldly soul borrowed her body, but she didn't know where her soul went.
"It's okay......" Du Yunyang nodded and said yes, when he thought of the preservation of the remaining meat, he suddenly had an idea and said: "We can smoke this meat, and the weather is so cold, there is no problem in keeping it for a month." ”
"Smoking? What kind of novel method is this, and where did you learn about it? Du Yuncheng asked a little strangely, he had only heard of incense, smoked bath, and smoked mosquitoes, but he had never heard of any smoked meat.
"I don't remember much, I think I saw the old man in the village do it, it's a local method." Du Yunyang was vague, but fortunately, her brother did not dwell on this issue, and soon asked what the bacon needed.
In fact, the method of smoking meat Du Yunyang is also half-understood, but simple smoking is still possible, at least to ensure that the meat will not be bad. In fact, she thought about curing meat or fried jerky, but curing meat is too salt-intensive, there is no seasoning at home, and there is not even half a drop of oil, so those are directly vetoed. Those leftovers are bacon.
The important thing for the bacon is to use smoked cedar branches, and it seems that the pine tree on the mountain lump at the east end of the village here has cedar.
Now that she has eaten and drunk enough, her body is much warmer, so she let her brother lie down in the bed to rest. It was very cold in the house, and the quilts for her and her brother were thin. So she took her bed from the west room and spread it on her father's bed, and lived in a room with her brother, and then took a broken copper basin thrown in the yard to the house, and burned charcoal to heat it. However, this charcoal was not bought by her, her family could afford charcoal for a penny, and it was calcined by herself with thick firewood. That's why the tall firewood in her house went down so fast.
After Du Yunyang went to the stove, he began to be busy. She first washed the whole roe deer meat with cold water and put it on the bamboo grate to dry, the cold water at this time can be described as ice water, although it is more suitable to wash the meat, otherwise if you wash it with warm or hot water, the meat will easily stink.
After the meat pieces were washed and dried, she began to put the wild pepper in the pot and dry it and then grind it into powder for later use, and then only left the salt at the bottom of a jar, and then put the rest into the pot and fry until it was yellow, then remove the fire and pour the wild pepper powder into the pot and stir with salt, and then put the meat pieces of the roe de that had been dried into it and stir it evenly. It's a pity that there is too little seasoning and no sugar and wine, so it is estimated that the taste will not be too good.
After processing the roe deer meat in this way, Du Yunyang washed a clay pot and prepared to marinate the meat in it for two days to let it fully absorb the flavor.
And for the rest of the day, Du Yunyang still braved the heavy snow to go out, and she later found a big back basket in the yard, which she had the impression that happened to be used to collect firewood. So she carried her half-man-high basket to the pine and cypress bushes at the east end of the village, picked up a lot of cedar branches and dried pine cones, and went down the mountain to drag a lot of dry weeds. I also picked up a lot of firewood at home, which is enough for this period of time.
After she put away what she wanted, she realized that the half-human-tall basket was already full. She squatted down and tried no less than five times before she could carry it, but her steps were trembling, and it took a long time to get back home.
In the evening, the sister and brother ate the roe deer meat boiled at noon, and they both rested early. It was only after the whole body was completely relaxed that Du Yunyang found that her legs were also painful, her waist was also painful, and her shoulders were even more painful after carrying the big basket.
She carefully rubbed the sore spots on her body, gritting her teeth to keep herself from making a sound, because she didn't want her brother to hear it, she didn't want him to worry. It's not easy, and it's impossible to survive here without suffering. Although she is a master when she suffers hardship, Du Yunyang feels that she suffers hardship just to survive.
Thinking about my previous dull job, when I earned just enough money to spend, the ordinary life I had to live seemed to be a happy life, at least I didn't have to starve and freeze. But then she was always alone, and now that she's two people, she can still make it up. It's a pity that her dream of being a rice worm has now become extravagant and out of reach.
