Chapter 165: The Feast
"No...... No, how can it? At this time, Gu Shigui, who had just returned to his place, pulled out the pheasant and smiled flatteringly: "Didn't I just pick it up, for fear of being eaten by the blind bear, so I put it in my arms, and I will ...... it right away." Handed over immediately! ”
In the chaos of the hunt, Gu Shigui saw that the injured pheasant flew out of the paddock by luck, everyone stared at the muntjac roe deer and other big wild things, running one or two pheasants and hares had no time to chase, but he quietly stepped back to find it, the pheasant was caught by a fast knife on his back, although he was lucky to escape temporarily, but he couldn't run far, and was soon chased by Gu Shigui to a hole not far away.
But when he picked up the pheasant, thinking that he had gotten a meal for nothing, but he didn't know that he had also picked up a big trouble, the black bear that had come out of the hole may have just fallen asleep, or he had not woken up yet, in short, until Gu Shigui retreated step by step to the empty paddock, the black bear did not shoot at him, but just pressed all the way and played him as a meal.
Gu Shifu ignored his defense, put the gong and wooden hammer behind his back, slowly got off the high hurdle, and went to the village by himself, most of the others despised his sneaky behavior, they all frowned and shook their heads, and the younger generation's ridicule of him was more explicit, and they whistled directly at him with squint eyes.
Gu Shigui had just escaped from death and picked up a small life, where could he manage this, he turned a deaf ear to the provocations of the boys, he carried the pheasant in the crowd and rushed to the open space in front of the village, although he was unwilling, but he still threw the pheasant on the prey pile in front of Gu Shifu, and at the end, he rubbed his hands and stared at it a few times, and then reluctantly walked to the side and sat down.
When everyone left, Liang Mancang took two dogs and inspected the surrounding area again to confirm that no wild objects were lost and no villagers were stranded alone, so they drove the horse back.
Seven or eight stoves were temporarily set up in the open space in front of the village, at this time the orange stove jumped, the pot was steaming, the pheasant and hare and badger sent before had been neatly cleaned, stir-fried in the pot, the tumbling soup mixed the aroma of chili pepper bean sauce together, in this cold winter day, not only attracted people's eyes, but also hooked the stomach gluttonous insects to shout.
In addition to the extremely eye-catching huge black bear and fat wild boar, there are more than a dozen other sturdy muntjac roe deer, and there are more small beasts such as pheasants and hares, and it is impossible to count them one by one.
Although Gu Shigui had a little accident in the whole hunt, the others went very smoothly, earlier than expected, and the men who had been running around all morning sat down to drink tea with peace of mind, just waiting for the women to bring the hot meal to the table.
A roe deer of forty catties has just been peeled, and the red meat is still steaming, but at this time it is chopped and burned, but I am afraid that it will be too late, and the women are worried that there will be few dishes, so they will neglect the guests, and they will have no idea for a while, and they will start arguing.
"If you want to eat faster, you still have to bake it quickly." Gu Qingzhu came back with a basket of washed vegetables, shook the water droplets in his hand and said.
"It's almost fast, but we're just afraid that we won't be able to make it!" Xu spread his hands and frowned.
When the mountains are idle in winter, if the heavy snow covers the mountains, it is common for women to bake something on their braziers, give wine to men, and beat teeth for children, but compared to the extravagant barbecue, most of them are just roasted sweet potatoes or chestnuts, and the Xu family naturally does not dare to show their skills at the dinner table of the old and young masters in the village.
Gu Qingzhu said with a smile: "Otherwise, I'll come, but I'm too slow alone, it's better to have a few more talents." ”
"Let Qingzhu come, she doesn't have to pick and choose when she cooks!" Jiang raised his eyebrows and smiled with relief.
"We're here to help!" Gu Xiaohua and Fang Ling hurriedly said.
"Aunt Qin, Aunt Chen, I have to trouble you to help me cut the meat." Gu Qingzhu invited two additional women with good knife skills.
Qin and Chen naturally agreed, but the two of them were afraid that the knife would not be fast enough and delay the matter, so they also used the already sharp kitchen knife on the whetstone a few times.
Gu Qingzhu rolled up his sleeves, pushed the red rattan bracelet on his arm, and picked up the fattest and tender pork belly and knifed it, and soon two whole pieces of red and white meat were piled on the long table, Gu Qingzhu cut off one and changed it into small pieces of equal size, and the Qin family and the Chen family quickly cut the meat according to her appearance.
At this juncture, Fang Ling had already sent her brother to carry a long bamboo from home, Fang Kui learned that Gu Qingzhu was going to make barbecue, and immediately helped to split the bamboo and sharpen the skewers, Gu Qingshui, Gu Qingshi and others came to help, just looking forward to eating it earlier.
Gather the charcoal of seven or eight stoves and set up a simple grill, Gu Qingzhu put the skewered meat skewers on it, the charcoal fire is very strong, the pork belly is tender, and it will start to simmer after a while, Gu Xiaohua and Fang Ling keep turning the barbecue, while Gu Qingzhu only focuses on one thing - sprinkling condiments.
Gu Qingzhu's condiments are exclusive and secret, including not only chili powder and pepper powder, but also star anise cinnamon fennel powder, which is very fragrant just by smelling.
When the condiment is integrated into the fat and fat that is suitable for hot and thin, the fresh and spicy flavor is instantly stimulated, rich and direct, almost overshadowing the meat simmered in a few pots.
Everyone works together, and the barbecue becomes very simple, and more than ten can be roasted with a cup of tea, and the people who help can't wait to taste it first.
At this time, the other dishes were almost good, the women were packed in large pots and served in turn, Gu Shifu and Liang Mancang accompanied Xiao Geng and the five people at the center table, the older generation of men sat alone at two tables, and the juniors and younger men, regardless of anything, squeezed and sat at three tables randomly. 020
Gu Shifu brought the three jars of soju that the family saved last year and prepared for a happy event, and several other families got together some home-brewed ones, and for a while the wine bowl was full, the meat was fragrant, and in the warm noon sun, a gluttonous meal with an open meal began!
The chicken is soft and rotten, the rabbit meat is spicy, the badger meat is spicy, the radish soup boiled in big bones is sweet and delicious, and the barbecue meat that is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, the fresh and attractive barbecue is the most popular, everyone has to eat ten skewers in one go to be enjoyable, as for the refreshing and frosted greens, and the crispy celery fried with offal, it can just relieve the spicy burning sensation of gluttony in the mouth.
Seven or eight stoves were given to the barbecue, and several young daughters-in-law also came to help, Gu Qingzhu didn't stop for a moment, so as to ensure that the barbecue on the table continued, and the two whole pieces of pork belly were quickly skewered together, Qin and Chen had to take the lean meat on the roe deer's leg and mix the fat together, so grilled, although the pork belly was not as tender, the taste was not bad.
The men pushed the cups and changed the lamps, ate in a noisy manner, and stood elsewhere with their stomachs in their hands to pick their teeth with satisfaction, until this time, it was not the turn of the women and the children to eat, Xu and Jiang put the rest of the dishes together and heated them up, there were still a lot of meat vegetables left, and everyone did not divide the table, they each picked what they liked to eat, and they stood and pulled a bowl of it, and the children had already eaten barbecue, and they didn't want to eat at this time, so they just cared about playing crazy.
Gu Qingzhu caught Qingying and fed half a bowl, and let her play.
Having eaten and drunk happily, the women busied themselves with the tables, chairs, pots and bowls, while the men began to peel their prey and prepare for the division of meat.
Xiao Geng and others came to help hunt, and since they got the prey, naturally there was no reason to go empty-handed, Gu Shifu chose the three fattest muntjac as the head of Gujiaao Village in return, Xiao Geng repeatedly pushed, but he couldn't stand the enthusiasm of the Gujiaao people, and under Liang Mancang's repeated persuasion, he still accepted it.
The big black bear is full of treasures, bear paws, bear bile, bear meat can be sold for money, the most expensive is only one broken bear skin, Gu Shifu thought about it again and again, this hunt harvest is quite rich, the meat is enough for the whole village to share, he decided to pull the black bear to Nancang County, sell the whole one, so that you can sell more money.
Liang Mancang was born in the Flying Eagle Battalion, and the wild predator was captured, at this time, even if he drank wine, he acted quickly as usual, and together with the young people in the village, he peeled the wild boar and the remaining muntjac roe deer, and other small beasts together, and soon, the thatched ground was lined up with meat.
Gu Shifu is in charge, Gu Shigen and Zheng Jialu do it, and soon distribute meat to each family, considering the number of people, the size of labor, and the amount of flesh and bones, fat and thin, Gu Shifu tries his best to make a bowl of water even, so that the amount of each family naturally varies, as little as a dozen catties, as much as twenty catties, everyone knows that he has always been fair, and there is no objection to this.
Pheasants and hares with fur and skin, according to one family, some people pick pheasants, some people ask for hares, and the remaining few thin ones go into the water together, and each family divides them once.
As for a few freshly peeled skins, Gu Shigen proposed to leave the only badger skin for Gu Shifu to cover, his leg was injured, it was cold in winter, and it was better to have this thick leather as a mattress, and a few other pieces of muntjac skin and roe deer skin, it is best to make winter boots, lined with hare fur, and it is not cold to walk in the snow for a day, Gu Shigen calculates that the adult youth in the village can almost spread a pair of them, as for a whole piece of wild boar skin, selling it to a leather goods store, it can probably be exchanged for a lot of money.
Because the family has benefited more or less, everyone is very satisfied.
In the end, there were only four live and howling little wild boars, which could not be divided for a while, and if they were killed, these two or three-month-old little cubs would have no meat at all except for tender skeletons.
"There's nothing to eat, so let's put it away." Someone suggested.
"They have the smell of people on them, and the wild boar herd will not accept them, besides, these few have not been weaned, and there is no way to find food for themselves, and it is a matter of time before they lose the care of the sows and are released into the mountains and forests, and are eaten by other wild beasts." Liang Mancang stood next to him and said.
"What then?" The other asked helplessly.
They were originally hunting, but they wanted to make a trouble, and they had no meat to eat, and they couldn't bear to abandon it.
Everyone was silent, and after a while, Gu Qingzhu said loudly: "It's better for me to raise it, how many lives are there." ”
Hearing this, everyone whispered, these four little piglets have been raised, they will definitely be able to sell for a lot of money, but it is not easy to raise them, how much food they have to eat, how much money to spend, men and women have an account in their hearts, and they will not do hot-headed things, they are calculating, but in the end they still give up.
Gu Shifu saw that they were silent in the end, so he spoke: "Since you have no opinion, these four piglets will return to Qingzhu." ”
"Now that she's got the piglets, she has to get a little less meat!" Gu Shigui on the side jumped to the ground.
There are four people in his family, except for the old Wu family, the other three are considered laborers, and Gu Qingzhu's family Qingsong and Qingying are underage, and the meat they share is actually similar to him, he is really unconvinced, and he feels that Gu Shifu is intentionally partial, so he wants to make trouble when he has the opportunity.
Gu Shifu glared at him: "If you want a piglet, you can exchange it for meat!" ”
