Chapter 17: Delicious

Yang He is going to have a bonfire barbecue party in the evening, he hasn't eaten meat for a long time, so he will let go of it for a meal today. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

There was originally a well in the ruins of Wukou, but now it is silted, there are many ponds in front of the polder wall, the pond water is half dry, and the water quality can not be reassured by the Yang River, so it is necessary to take the wolf to the river to kill the skin and skin it.

Yang He also decided to kill the two wolves, and the heavy tasks such as skinning were taken up by Orion Han Daxia, and the rest belonged to Zhao Zhongju and other women.

In this era, eating meat was also a big deal in the past, let alone now?

In addition to the arranged personnel, the rest of the people of all ages followed to see the excitement.

Yang He also followed, mainly because the younger brothers and sisters wanted to see the excitement, and the group carried the wolf and went to the river with laughter.

The road is full of silt puddles, and it can be seen that the Sui River has been very serious in backing up this tributary, and the riverbed has been expanding to both sides, and it may not be long before the polder wall outside the ruins will be buried by the river.

Although this side is piled high, it is expected that in a few years, several abandoned houses on it will also be hidden under the mud.

When Yang He and the others arrived at the river, they saw that the river had dried up more than half, revealing a seriously silted riverbed.

This is also the scenery of the Sui River, silt, dirty, blocked, from the end of Wanli, it is difficult to sail on the Sui River, otherwise they will go directly to the downstream by a boat, saving a lot of things.

The refugees didn't think as much as Yang He thought, so they happily found a rocky beach with water and started work directly.

On a wooden board found, Han Daxia used a dagger familiar dissection to peel off the wolf skin, decompose the five organs, move the knife like flying, and move quickly.

He also used a waist knife to cut off the wolf's hooves and limbs, cut off the wolf's head, Zhao Zhongju and others waited by the side, filling pots and pots with wolf hearts, wolf lungs and wolf intestines, even wolf blood did not want to leak a drop, for the refugees, these water is also a rare delicacy.

The rocky beach was crowded with people, the red and white meat made people drool, and the refugees praised Han Daxia's kung fu, while talking with laughter, talking about when they ate meat, and how much they could eat at most.

Yang He watched Han Daxia's skillful movements, and watched the two wolves skin them, dig out their internal organs, and cut off their heads and feet, as if there was not much flesh and blood left.

In this era, the meat rate of pigs, sheep and dogs has always been not high, even if it is placed in later generations, the meat rate of pigs is seventy percent, and the meat rate of sheep and dogs is even less.

Yang He remembered that he had killed a sheep in his later life, and more than 100 catties of pure meat were only more than 30 catties, and he had been fed with materials for two months beforehand.

Fortunately, hooves, pork ribs, pork belly, cavity bones, etc. can be eaten, and no one will dislike all the water, and even the big bones can be boiled into soup to eat and drink.

And the wolf killed today is still the first wolf and the other strong wolf, there are nearly 100 catties and about 70 or 80 catties, even if there are many refugees, even the flesh and bones, each person can eat two or three catties.

There is also a large bone offal soup to drink, so I will have a luxury today.

Han Daxia's movements were swift, and soon the two wolves were cooked, and he had some more wolf teeth and wolf hip stones in his hands, as well as two complete wolf skins.

He handed over the wolf's tooth and the wolf's hip stone to Yang He, and said: "As the saying goes, men wear wolf teeth and women wear hip stones. As for this wolf skin, it can be used for various purposes after it is made into a small tanned skin. ”

Minister Yang unfolded the wolf's skin and praised, "What a skin." ”

Yang He also smiled and nodded, this wolf skin is afraid to be two meters long from head to tail, the ears are burnt black, the cheeks have black hair, the hair on the whole body is thick and coarse, the tail is gray, and a pair of ears are still erect, it is indeed a good leather.

He decided to use it as a wolfskin chair after some tanning.

……

The wolf meat and internal organs were cleaned, and everyone returned to the abandoned mansion with laughter, Zhao Zhongju and other women built two fire pit shelves, and found a lot of firewood and hay as fuel.

Many of the firewood in this area is the wooden planks of doors and windows folded on abandoned houses, which is also the reason why the furniture of the doors of abandoned houses in abandoned villages and abandoned houses has disappeared in various places.

When everything was ready, Zhao Zhongju took out the fire fold stuffed in his waist, pulled out the bamboo cover, took some hay and put it at the mouth of the bamboo, blew it twice hard, and the rekindled fire immediately ignited the hay.

She threw the hay into the rack, and immediately the flames burst into flames, wisps of smoke wafting out of the broken windows.

Everyone sat in front of the pond and talked and laughed, watching Zhao Zhongju and others put the big iron pot on a fire pond, filled it with water, boiled it, and chopped the wolf's head, wolf hooves, and five internal organs into it.

There were also some thick willow branches cut down, and after the fire was burning in another fire pit, Zhao Zhongju and others put the two processed wolves on the skewers and hung them on the fire rack for barbecue.

With the assistance of Han Daxia's father and son, it can be seen that the two have very rich experience in outdoor barbecue.

Soon, the roasted wolf was shining on the wooden frame, exuding an attractive aroma, and the wolf offal on the other cauldron was also boiling, and the thick aroma was also pervasive, causing everyone in the room to sniff constantly.

At this time, Sun Zhaodi, Yan Dezheng and other wild vegetable pickers also returned.

As soon as Brother Sun Zhaodi came back, her loud voice added more excitement to the broken house: "It's so fragrant, I can smell it ten miles away." ”

The wild vegetables harvested by the men and women were quite abundant, and Zhao Zhongju and others took it and washed it, and then put a small half of the wild vegetables in the wolf bone offal soup.

Yang He is going to feast on wolf meat today, it doesn't matter if the wild vegetables are wild or not, but adding some wild vegetables can relieve the greasy and fishy taste of the meat, so it is still necessary to pick some.

The stronger fragrance was permeated, with the fragrance of wild vegetables, everyone felt hunger surging, and Yang He also felt that saliva kept coming out of his mouth, as if every cell in his body was longing and begging, and couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly.

Later generations have been dissatisfied with the diet of big fish and meat, to pay attention to eating a green and healthy, they are also hypocritical, good rice is not eaten to eat nest head, raised fat chickens and ducks do not eat, to eat thin chickens and pigs, even greenhouse vegetables do not eat.

When I hated this, I couldn't imagine that there would be such a deplorable day, right?

How can the people of the era of great material abundance understand the suffering of the people of this era.

I really want to eat meat, although I ate rabbit meat a few days ago, but I didn't eat it happily at that little bit, and it didn't take long to eat it.

Looking at Qi Youxin, Yan Dezheng and others around him, they were all salivating, and Yan Dezheng even didn't know that snot was running down.

"It'll be fine soon."

Zhao Zhong raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.

She took out a small packet of fine salt from her bosom, poured a little into the pot, and then took out another salt brick.

Han Daxia cut off the cooked wolf meat with a dagger, and Zhao Zhongju rubbed it on the salt brick to give it a salty taste, and then put it in a bowl.

Needless to say, this small bag of fine salt was given to her by Yang He, and the salt brick was generously contributed by Zhao Zhongju's family, which is also very precious. Before the Yang family fled from Luyi, not to mention the fine salt, it was very poor salt bricks, and the price of a catty soared to two or three cents of silver.

This price is outrageous, in the early years of Wanli when the price of salt was low, the price of salt in the market at that time, Jiangsu and Zhejiang were only three cents per catty of silver, and four cents per catty of silver in Liangguang.

Fujian is the cheapest, a bucket of salt is fifteen or sixteen catties, expensive is worth four cents of silver, and two cents is cheap, but now it has risen so outrageously.

Zhao Zhong's movements were swift, and he quickly took care of everything, Yang He nodded secretly, she is indeed a woman who can live.

Qi Youxin also looked at his wife, his eyes were full of love and pity, presumably after this tribulation, the relationship between husband and wife will be deeper.

"Xianggong, give."

Zhao Zhongju first handed a large bowl of roasted wolf meat to Yang He, steaming with aroma and heat, this is the best part of the wolf's body, the hind leg meat, where the meat is many and tender, it belongs to one of the essence parts of the wolf's body.

Yang He noticed that she also used chopsticks to rub the salt brick a few more times, and when she brought the bowl, her eyes were still full of reverence and gratitude.

Perhaps in her heart, without Yang He's leadership, it would be impossible for everyone to eat meat today, and they might suffer heavy losses under the attack of wolves.

Yang He smiled and took it, the matter is mutual, if there is no power of the refugees, it is still unknown whether he can escape with Minister Yang and his younger brothers and sisters today.

Then handed over is a large bowl of choppy soup, which is also fragrant and hot.

Bowls of wolf meat and choppy soup were distributed to everyone, regardless of men, women, and children, after taking the bowls, they all held back their hunger and thirst, and consciously waited for Yang He to speak.

Yang He raised the bowl, had a thousand words in his heart, and finally said, "Eat." ”

When I took a sip of the mixed soup, the delicious broth entered my stomach, and it seemed that every pore of my body was cheering, and I took a big bite of roast wolf meat and exhaled a long breath.

Delicious, comfortable and cozy!

Rice is food, meat is a higher food, and people who can eat meat often are also the higher beings in human beings.

Yang He secretly swore that he would eat meat often in the future, even the people around him.

There was a screeching sound of chewing and drinking soup in the broken house, and all men, women, and children, all of them were clutching wolf meat with both hands, desperately biting, ignoring the hot and greasy.

Yang He didn't know when he saw Yan Dezheng, an old boy, that his snot was flowing all the way to his feet, and he just ate it with his head buried.

Qi Youxin, the chief of the Ming Dynasty, muttered while biting: "It's delicious...... It's better than the one in Bozhou......"

Minister Yang had already put aside the red hat on his head and ate it without saying a word.

There are also women such as Zhao Zhongju and Sun Zhaodi, who don't care about reserve and demeanor, gobbling up fierce bites, occasionally drinking a mouthful of broth, and swallowing the meat in their throats.

Everyone ate the meat and soup in their hands, and their eyes were extremely comfortable and satisfied.

It took a while for Yang He to come back to his senses, and he slowly ate the taste of wolf meat in his hand, feeling that the meat was slightly coarser than dog meat, but the taste was better than donkey meat.

At this time, there was some thatch under him, and in front of him was a warm fire pit, and the people around him had the same thatch, or sat on the ground, or learned from him to kneel and sit, he looked at Minister Yang on the right, and saw that he was holding the wolf meat with both hands, and he still bit fiercely without a sound.

Looking at the younger siblings on the left, the two children are eating with their mouths full of oil, and their mouths and faces are full of oil.

He shook his head, took out his handkerchief, and wiped the grease from his siblings' mouths.

The younger brother Yang Qian was a little embarrassed, and was a little gentle, while the younger sister Ying'er raised her head and smiled at Yang He: "Thank you, brother." ”
