Ling Yang smiled and didn't say anything. Pen~Fun~ Ge www.biquge.info saw that Brother Li had a good skill in slaughtering wild bears, and did not use a machete, but directly used a small hunting knife in his hand to cut the blade into the black bear's bone cracks and swim away.

Each family sent two or three people to the village chief's house to receive meat and frozen fish, and the children, of course, followed behind to join in the fun. Ling Yang gave each child four or five small birds, took them home to clean up, stuffed them into the red charcoal left over from the firewood pile, took them out and knocked off the firewood ash on them, and left the roasted bird meat, and even the slender bones could be chewed together, and the birds flying in the sky did not have a little excess fat, and the lean meat was very delicate and delicious. That's enough to satisfy the kids.

Ling Yang never thought that one day, he would return to this quiet and comfortable mountain village life, when he was a child, he was with his grandfather, collecting pine nuts in the mountains, and catching rabbits with a horse's tail sleeve.

remembered that his grandfather was still controlled by the organization behind Qin Lu, although he didn't know where he was, Qin Lu definitely didn't dare to suffer a loss to the old man. Moreover, Ling Yang's current ability must have been inherited from his grandfather and parents, so it can be inferred that Ling Yang's grandfather must also be a skilled person, if he is not inextricably linked to the organization, voluntarily accepts the supervision of the organization, and wants to leave, no one will be able to stop him.

Thinking of this, Ling Yang's heart calmed down. It just so happened that the villagers had already taken all the fish and meat they had received home, but they left their own women to help in the village chief's house, burning the fire and cutting the meat, wrapping pies and dumplings, making dumplings, and throwing most of the remaining bear meat and bones into the cauldron, and soon the fragrance wafted out.

Because the Southern Dynasties had good relations with China for generations, they constantly influenced each other's cultural, economic, and political ties in their dealings. The living habits of the Xianyu people in the Chaozhi Dynasty, most of them have been assimilated into the Chinese country, not only eat rice cakes during the New Year, but also are willing to eat dumplings and set off firecrackers, but the village lives in poverty, and few families can afford to buy white noodles, so they can only use the mixture of cornmeal and potato flour instead, but it has a different flavor.

Soon, the meat and bones in the cauldron were stewed, and Chu Wanyi also helped at the village chief's house, took out a big iron basin from the house, scooped up a large pot with soup and meat, brought it into the house and put it on the table, and was busy cutting the pickled spicy cabbage into one by one for accompaniment and flavor.

The village chief's wife has a good ability to clean up the fish, scrape off the scales of the five big fish, cut the big fish into one by one with the belt meat, remove the thorns, put it on the lid of the iron ring stove that burns red, when it is roasted to three or five medium cooks, put it in a large basin, stir it well with the mustard and vinegar sauce that has been prepared, and then sprinkle a layer of dried pepper noodles, the red and white are very good-looking, it is the indigenous people of Northeast China, the Hezhe people eat fish most often, in the local language of the Hezhe people, this dish is called "Talaha".

The fish in this dish is raw and cooked, and the mustard and chili peppers remove the fishy smell of the fish just right, leaving only the umami flavor, and it is very fragrant and refreshing.

Although Nanpu City is some distance away from Jiangjie City, after all, it is not far from the border of China, and its eating habits are not much different from those of Northeast China. It's just that the big fish is the best after being stewed in soybean oil, and the villagers don't want to stew fish, but where does the soybean oil come from at home, so they have to use this method, and the taste is actually good, and it has a primitive wild taste.

Although the crescent bear is not as large as the brown bear, and during the hibernation period, because it has never eaten, it has lost a lot of weight, but it still weighs more than 300 catties. More than a dozen families, each family divided more than 20 catties of meat, and the rest was all left to the Cao family and the Li family where Ling Yang and Chu Wanyi lived temporarily.

The village chief's family was given a lot of meat and bones by Lingyang, which can be used to make soup, and the remaining fat is boiled into meat oil by the village chief's wife in a large iron pot, which is usually smeared on boiled potatoes, which is also a rare delicacy.

Soon, the meals were all on the table. Ling Yang had already stood at the kang table, sitting on the fiery low kang burned with firewood, chatting with the village chief and the male villagers, exchanging customs and habits in their respective countries.

Because of this rare feast of fish and meat tonight, Ling Yang invited the men of the whole village to the banquet through the place of the village chief's house, the women just helped in the kitchen, and the children shuttled back and forth excitedly, sometimes running to the front of the pot, stealing a piece of bear meat, or stuffing the birds into the stove to roast, and then competing for food, the scene was very lively and interesting for a while.

Because the village chief often goes to the town to attend the monthly regular report meeting, he still hides a jar of soju at home, wraps it in a straw curtain, and puts it in a corner of the livestock shed. At this time, someone was also sent to take it out, and everyone poured a large bowl, and ate the refreshing fish fillet and the fragrant and strong bear meat, and ate it with a mouth full of oil.

Ling Yang took a sip of soju, only to feel that the wine had a sweet and noisy smell, smacked his lips, and happened to be seen by the village chief, and explained slightly apologetically: "The family conditions are not good, and I can't afford to buy good soju." This jar of wine was left over from the banquet when my youngest daughter got married. Every year during the New Year, I take it out and drink a little. After all, the old man is old, and he can't stop drinking! ”

Under the explanation of the village chief, Ling Yang learned that this kind of soju was fired in the town's earthen workshop, and it was just clear water mixed with grain wine, and some corn pulp and green rice stalks and other things were added to the winemaking. Although the taste is not good, it is better because of the low price, and it is especially loved by the poor people.

Although the villagers were living in difficulty, Ling Yang felt that the whole village was like a big family. Everyone helps each other, they are happy, although the life is hard, but there is a sense of peace without contention with the world, and the village is located in the middle of nowhere, hidden in the snow-capped mountains and valleys, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a paradise.

At the wine table, Ling Yang said with great interest that before the New Year, he would go to the mountains to hunt every day, accumulate enough prey, keep meat for the villagers to spend the winter, and the fur of the prey would be taken to the town for money after the snow melted in spring and the road was connected. Use this money to buy clothes for the children to protect themselves from the cold, because Ling Yang saw that almost all the children's clothes were covered with patches, and a pair of big shoes with beans and leaves, I don't know where they were picked up, and there were holes in the tips of the shoes, which made the children's toes red from the cold.

The life of the villagers is really hard.
