When they got home, the four members of the Yan family were very surprised to see Lu Yu carrying another wild boar back. Yan Xi'an was a little angry because Lu Yu didn't call himself when he went up the mountain.

Lu Yu said that the wild boar was bitten to death by the dragon crocodile, and the dragon crocodile was killed by him.

Yan Xi'an hurriedly said: "Uncle, you didn't bring a kitchen knife, you weren't injured, right?" Because he cared about Lu Yu, he forgot that Xi An was even angry at this meeting.

"I'm not hurt, don't worry."

Yan Xiding asked Lu Yu: "Why didn't Uncle Da Yu bring that dragon crocodile back, I haven't eaten dragon crocodile meat yet." Yan Xi'an glared at his younger brother fiercely.

Lu Yu smiled: "The dragon crocodile was stabbed in the eye by me with a stick, and then stabbed to death. That thing was so disgusting, and I guess the meat wasn't tasty, so I didn't bring it back. ”

After dinner, Lu Yu peeled the wild boar with a kitchen knife again. He was worried that the dragon crocodile's mouth was poisonous, so after thinking about it, he ripped off the meat near the wound on the wild boar's body that was scratched and bitten by the dragon crocodile and threw it away.

Although there is no shortage of meat at home, the unexpected harvest is always gratifying, and Lu Yu decided to make this wild boar into jerky and keep it for the winter.

There are many ways to make jerky, Lu Yu originally wanted to make it similar to bacon, and he thought that the two little guys in the family had not eaten snacks for a long time, and planned to make a few catties of jerky with sugar sauce first.

So Lu Yu didn't go out the next day, he shaved a few catties of wild boar front leg meat, and asked Mrs. Yan to help cut it into thin slices. Cutting pork slices requires a lot of knife skills, and Lu Yu is almost hot.

Cut the pork into slices and put it in a pot, mix a bowl with chili powder, white wine, cornmeal, and soy sauce, and then pour it into the pork slices, and then stir it with your hands. It is best to have sesame seeds to make jerky, but no one in Yangshan Village grows sesame seeds, and Lu Yu's family does not have them.

Stir continuously for a quarter of an hour, and then light a fire to roast the meat in an iron pot, Lu Yu used chopsticks to pick up the meat slices and put them at the bottom of the pot to fry, and when they were half-cooked, they should be immediately picked up from the pot and put them on a plate, and the plate could not have half a drop of water.

Frying meat slices is also a fine job, and the frying time should not be too long, as the pork will be charred and blackened after a long time; But don't fry it for too long, otherwise the meat slices will be whole raw. Although Lu Yu's eyes were quick and fast, there were still some slices of meat that were fried by him.

Yan Xi knew that Lu Yu was going to make jerky, so he kept following him in the kitchen, clamoring for help, but Lu Yu could only let him go to the fire. Yan Xi'an is even more inseparable from Lu Yu, but because his younger brother has been lying in the kitchen, he wants to quietly hug Lu Yu, and then he has no chance.

It took a morning to fry all the meat slices, but in fact, the meat slices were already edible at this time, and the sisters and brothers had eaten a lot. But because the meat slices are not dry enough to be stored for a long time, they still need to be processed for a few more steps.

After lunch, Lu Yu found two smooth stone slabs outside, washed them, spread the meat slices on one stone slab, and then pressed the other stone slab hard. Each slice of pork was pressed flat and spread out on a dustpan, ready to be taken out to dry in the sun tomorrow.

At dinner, Lu Yu told the sisters and brothers that they would dry the dried meat at home tomorrow, and they would go into the mountain to get the passage out of the valley again. Yan Xi'an was a little reluctant, and said that he would also go into the mountain with Lu Yu. Yan Jibai said that Lu Yu had something serious to do when he entered the mountain, and after saying a few words to her, Yan Xi'an pouted and said no.

But early the next morning, as soon as Lu Yu went out, he saw Yan Xi'an standing at the door, looking at Lu Yu with a smile. That, Lu Yu is very willing to go into the mountain with Yan Xi'an in his heart.

As soon as the two stepped into the mountains and forests, Yan Xi'an stood still, waiting for Lu Yu to come over and carry her.

Carrying Yan Xi'an, Lu Yu said: "Xi'an, when you go home today, your father is afraid that he will lose his temper." ”

"I also think he's going to be angry, but I just don't want to be separated from my uncle."

Lu Yu was moved, thought about it, and said, "Then let's go back early today." ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Yan Xi'an lay on Lu Yu's back, ran his fingers at Lu Yu's hair, and said, "Uncle, my father will know about me and you sooner or later, should we tell him?" ”

Lu Yu thought for a moment and said, "I don't think it's okay yet." ”

"Why?" Yan Xi'an seemed to be a little unhappy.

Lu Yu hurriedly said: "You Xi'an, don't worry, I think it's okay if Daddy agrees, but if he doesn't agree, he will definitely lose his temper." But he lost his temper, and he didn't want to be angry at me, maybe in a fit of anger, he wanted to go back to Jinhua City, Jinhua City is so dangerous now, if he goes back, what will he do. ”

"That's too." Yan Xi'an sighed and said quietly: "Uncle, what do you say?" We can't do that all the time...... Sneaky. ”

Lu Yu's heart moved, and he asked Yan Xi'an: "Your mother knows that you and I ...... Is it so? ”

"I didn't tell her, but she probably saw something."

Lu Yu said: "If your mother doesn't object, then you can tell her about our affairs little by little." Then let your mother tell your father little by little and persuade your father, maybe Brother Yan will be able to accept it at that time. ”

"Well, that's all there is to it." Yan Xi'an hugged Lu Yu's neck tightly and said, "Uncle, I like you." ”

Lu Yu smiled and said, "Xi'an, I like you too." ”

"Silly uncle, drive ......"

Youyan Xi is here, and Lu Yu has not been able to set up a good formation this day. Because Yan Xi'an ran over from time to time to pull him, or poked him, Lu Yu's heart was fluttering, where could he still concentrate on arranging the formation.

At noon, the two ate some dry food, Yan Xi'an was a little sleepy, so he lay on the grass and slept for a while, and Lu Yu was busy in the cave alone.

When he was busy, Yan Xi'an woke up, entered the cave again, and hugged Lu Yu from behind.

Although Lu Yu has been hugged by Yan Xi'an a few times, he has not taken the initiative to hug Yan Xi'an. At this time, his heart was crispy and soft, and he wanted to turn around and hug Yan Xi'an.

But Yan Xi'an said: "Uncle, I can only hug you, you can't hug me." ”

Lu Yu wondered and asked, "Why is this?" ”

Yan Xi'an said: "Because, because we haven't ...... yet There is no marriage, so you have to treat me with courtesy. ”

Lu Yu smiled dumbly, and said secretly: "Why don't you treat me with courtesy." But he didn't dare to say this, so he had to say, "But I want to hug you, what should I do?" In fact, Lu Yu not only wanted to hug her, but also wanted to kiss her and kiss him.

"Hehe, then you can bear with it."

Lu Yu smiled: "Then what if I can't help it?" ”

"You can't help it." Yan Xi'an's tone became serious, and he said: "Uncle, although I like you, you are not allowed to despise me, you want to be the kind of ...... That kind of frivolous girl, I won't be nice to you. ”

Hearing what Yan Xi'an said seriously, Lu Yu hurriedly said: "Okay, Uncle let you hug you, but I can't bear to hug you." ”

Yanxi Ange smiled: "Uncle, you are so funny, I like you so much." ”

"I like you so much, too."

Sure enough, this evening, Lu Yu took Yan Xi'an home and saw a layer of frost on Yan Jibai's face, he didn't say anything about Lu Yu, he trained his daughter, saying that her girl's family ran outside all day long, what kind of system.

Lu Yu felt like a thief, and felt sorry for Yan Xi'an, but he didn't know how to explain it for her. Lu Yu felt that he was not stupid because he was white, but he was afraid that he had already seen some clues. Lu Yu thought to himself: "In the future, I can't always take Yan Xi'an out alone, even if I want to bring it, I must at least bring Xiding with me." ”

Although Yan Xiding was a little angry because Lu Yu didn't call him when he went up the mountain, he still obediently turned over the meat slices during the day. After Lu Yu finished dinner, he dug a shallow pit in the backyard, burned charcoal in the pit, and put a stone slab on the top of the pit, and waited for the slate to be roasted hot, and then put the dried meat that had been dried during the day on the slate for the last time.

Lu Yu boiled some syrup with white sugar in advance, and poured a little syrup on the meat slices while using a slate to grill the meat. The jerky is already very fragrant, and when it is mixed with sugar juice and roasted, it is even more sweet and fragrant.

After roasting for a long time, when there is no flowing sugar on all the dried meat, the jerky with sugar sauce is really ready.

Lu Yu tasted a slice of it himself, the taste was not bad, the jerky was slightly tough, and the taste was completely different from the pork he usually ate, it was fragrant and sweet, and a little spicy. But the sister and brother were very fond of food, and each grabbed a large handful, and sat on the chair and stuffed it into their mouths one by one.

Yan Jibai and Mrs. Yan also tasted a few pieces, and they both praised Lu Yu's good craftsmanship.

In fact, Lu Yu has only eaten pork jerky once since he was a child, and today is the second time. It wasn't his mother who did it at home, it was Lu Yu's father who bought a few taels in the town one day. Lu Yu's mother saw that the two brothers liked to eat, so she went to the town to inquire about the production method of pork jerky. It's just that Lu Yu's family is poor, and until his mother died, there was no extra pork to use to make jerky.

After eating a few pieces of jerky, Lu Yu thought of his deceased mother again, he remembered that his mother seemed to like it a lot, but it was a pity that she was reluctant to eat more, and wanted to leave it to her own son.

Before the charcoal fire in the pit was extinguished, Lu Yu moved the stone slab again, raised the meat of the newly killed wild boar high, and roasted it on the fire. This barbecue is not to make jerky, but to remove some of the moisture and fat from the fresh pork, so that the pork can be preserved for a longer time.

There is a lot of pork, Lu Yu roasted it in the yard until the second half of the night, and when the charcoal fire was about to go out, he added a little more. Last year, in order to send charcoal to the Yan family, Lu Yu burned a lot, and now there are two large bags of charcoal piled up in the yard.

It was too late, and the family had already gone back to their rooms to sleep.

After the pork was roasted, Lu Yu hung up the meat again, and was about to go back to his room to rest, when he suddenly heard several sharp roars, coming from Yangshan.

Lu Yu remembered that this voice came from the dragon crocodile, and he was shocked: "The dragon crocodile actually ran to the edge of Yangshan, which is not very good." ”

Lu Yu decided to go up the mountain to have a look, to see how many dragon crocodiles had arrived at the side of the mountain, and whether it was possible to go out of the mountain and enter the village.

This time, Lu Yu took the kitchen knife, quietly went out, and rushed towards Yangshan. The crescent moon in the sky is like a hook, and the moonlight is just faint, but for Lu Yu, there is no difference between day and night.
