Bear skins and roe deer skins have residual meat and grease that must be removed. Yao Qing shaved vigorously on the inside of the fur with a knife, but he could only remove the larger pieces of meat, and the grease was still attached to the fur.

Yao Hong took out a small bag of millet and miscanthus from the pantry. Cook the millet over low heat until you can't see the rice grains, add the miscanthus nitrate according to the ratio of two parts to three parts, mix evenly, put it into a large vat and wait for the nitrate to ferment. The fermentation time is relatively long, generally about six or seven days. By the time Yao Huang returned from Li's house, Yao Hong's two siblings had already put the nitrate into the jar and covered it tightly with a lid to prevent bacteria from entering.

After the fermentation of this nitrate liquor is completed, it will emit a sour odor, and the stronger the smell, the better the acidification effect. Put the fur in the nitrate and turn it, and wait until the sour smell gradually weakens, and the smell of wine appears, which means that the fur is nitrated. At this time, you can carefully check it to see if there is any hair loss, if there is a skin fiber has been loosened, the skin plate is soft, and the nitrate is completed.

Take the fur out of the tank, the leather board is facing up, unfold it and lay it flat on the wooden board to dry, first dry the leather board and then dry the hair, the faster the better. Then use a brush to smooth out the fur, and the two perfect furs are completely ready. Neither Yao Huang nor Yao Hong had any intention of selling the two furs - although the bear skins were expensive and could be sold for a good price - Yao Hong decided to make a leather coat for Wenren Chiba out of roe deer skins, and the bear skins were spread on top of the kang of the two little ones to make them warmer and more comfortable when they slept. And the bear skin is Yao Qing's trophy, so it must be kept as a souvenir.

Ready to make the fur ready, Yao Hong began to cook. Dinner was a large pot of stewed roe deer, and a bowl of braised roe deer meat. The portion was full, and a third of it went into Yao Qing's stomach.

The next day. Yao Hong prepares for the Buddha to jump over the wall - no way, the family is a foodie. I've been looking forward to eating it for a long time. If you don't make them food, I'm afraid she'll be drowned in saliva.

Yao Huang resisted the hoe and carried her "artifact" on her back, which also contained a long-handled net bag. Her destination was the frozen Hetao outside the village, and the two little ones didn't understand her intentions, but they still followed them to the Hetao as P worms - for fear of their accidents, Yao Hong didn't allow them to play in the Hetao, but now Yao Huang was watching from the sidelines. With watching from the sidelines, the two little ones at least won't go crazy and forget about the dangers.

Yao Qing dragged out a small improvised sleigh from behind a large rock on the riverbank. Put Xiao Ke Baozi in the middle of the sleigh and sit down, push and run in the back, and when the sled can slide on the snow surface on its own, he jumps on the sleigh and follows Xiao Baozi to experience the fun of fast skiing. The joyful laughter of the little buns came from the north wind, and Yao Huang loudly reminded the two little ones to get drunk and get sick if they were poured into their stomachs by the cold wind.

"Zhilu said to the second sister." Yao Qing raised his voice to agree, and then he and Xiao Baozi's laughter and screams were much quieter.

Yao Huang shook his head and stood still on the river away from the sled's tracks. Use a hoe to sweep the snow off the river to reveal the ice. The ice is thick, at least a foot or two thick. Yao Huang drew a circle with a diameter of half a meter on the ice with a hoe, and put his hands on the ice. Infused with True Qi and struck downward, two feet of ice were completely smashed by her, and a hole appeared on the ice.

Hehe. Yao Huang smiled happily and stared at the prototype ice cave, fantasizing about the big fish pounced on him. It was so beautiful that her saliva was overflowing.

Yao Huang once heard from a college classmate from Northeast China how Northeast people fish in winter. Because the snow and ice cover the water, the concentration of oxygen under the water is not high. This time. When a hole is carved into the frozen ice with a chisel, hoe or other tool, the fish in the water will gather in groups under the hole and breathe in the fresh air from the water. People stand on the edge of the hole, and as long as they put their nets into the holes, they can pick up a net of fish.

When Yao Huang broke the hole, the two little ones were alarmed by the noise, and stopped sledding, so they ran to Yao Huang's side curiously to see what she wanted to do. As a result, the two men saw Yao Huang netting a two-foot-sized carp out of the hole.

"Wow, my aunt is so amazing!" Xiao Ke clapped his little hands and cheered.

Yao Qing was surprised and asked curiously, "Second sister, how do you know that there are fish under this hole?" ”

"Ah, that's ......," Yao Huang told the two little ones about the theory that her college classmates had told her.

Yao Qing said with interest, "Second sister, let me play too!" ”

"I, I'm going to catch fish too." Xiao Ke Baozi also shouted loudly.

"Good boy, it takes a lot of effort to catch fish. You are still young, and when you grow up, your aunt will take you to fish again. Yao Huang said to Xiao Ke in a good voice, and took him to take a step back, away from the ice cave. Such a big hole, if you are not careful, you will fall into it.

Xiao Ke Baozi looked at his little arms, calves and five short figures, flattened his mouth, and said in a retreat, "I'll help you put the fish in the back basket." ”

After the fish is fished up, it is poured directly on the snow surface, frozen by the cold wind, and frozen stiff in a few breaths, and it is easy to grasp in the hand. Yao Huang nodded, and still commanded, "Don't take off your gloves, lest you get frostbite." ”

Xiao Baozi agreed, happily jumped next to the carp, picked it up, and then walked to the back basket where Yao Huang had placed, and carefully put the carp into the back basket. After standing up, Xiao Baozi smiled at Yao Huang and begged for praise.

"Good job, keep up the good work." Yao Huang praised without hesitation. Children, praise and encourage them a lot to build their self-confidence.

Xiao Baozi smiled even sweeter, although he didn't run to the edge of the hole, but a pair of eyes stared at Yao Qing's actions without blinking, so he could only help catch the fish after he scooped it up.

Yao Qing's luck was good, he went down in a net and scooped out three fish, although they were not as big as Yao Huang had caught before, but each one was about two or three.

"Second sister, this method of catching fish is more convenient than fishing!" Yao Qing happily poured the fish on the snow, and the fish struggled a few times and stopped moving.

Yao Huang sneered, "Convenient? If it weren't for our internal strength, we wouldn't know how long it would take to break this layer of ice on the surface of the river. Don't say that if you can't catch fish, people will get frostbite. ”

Yao Qing thought about it and sighed, "It's really convenient to have martial arts!" ”

"Well, martial arts, convenient, I won't feel very cold in winter." Xiao Baozi hugged a fish and nodded thoughtfully.

"Hehe, then you have to work harder. Later, in winter, it will be cold even if you wear single clothes. Yao Huang said with a smile. (To be continued......)
