027, barbecue expert
Lu Zheng slept directly into the afternoon.
When he woke up, he got up from the bed with a carp, and he only felt refreshed and energetic, as if he had endless energy in his body.
At the same time, there was a faint hunger in his stomach, and Lu Zheng remembered what he had forgotten, and hurriedly lifted the half of the red deer into the yard and prepared to clean it up.
It is said to be cleaned up, but in fact, it is mainly pickled and dried.
This red deer is the largest of the group of red deer, Song Yuan has already skinned it and removed its internal organs before, although it is only flesh and bones, it has more than half of it, and its weight is at least more than 100 catties.
The conditions were limited, so Lu Zheng first moved out the table in the house, then put most of the deer carcass on it, and began to cut and sort it with a knife.
According to Song Yuan's instructions yesterday, he carefully removed the flesh and bones, pulled out the tendons, and then cut the meat into long strips and marinated it with coarse salt.
Naturally, there is no salt in this remote walled city, and like silk, these things are exchanged from the outside world by the caravan under the owner of the wall, Shi Longwu, and the villagers can exchange food for the walled city.
The coarse salt that Lu Zheng has is still a bereavement pension issued by the night patrol.
Soon, most of the red deer were cut and piled up on the table as a hill.
It is worth mentioning that although the fur and the horns of the red deer were not there, Song Yuan left the deer whip to Lu Zheng.
"It's about to catch up with me. ”
After finally cutting the meat, Lu Zheng put aside the big lump with an ambiguous smile.
In fact, compared with the fur of the red deer, the value of the deer whip is not bad at all, it has the effect of tonifying the kidney, strengthening the kidney yang, and strengthening the waist and knees, which can be said to be the savior of every middle-aged and elderly man.
Although Lu Zheng himself didn't need this thing, it could be exchanged in the walled city, and it was worth a lot of money.
When the cutting was almost complete, he threaded the long strips of venison with hemp rope and hung them one by one under the eaves to dry them.
By the time this had been done, it was nearly dusk.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Zheng moved the iron pot, built a stove, burned firewood, and extinguished the open flame when the firewood was almost burned, and then hung a few strings of venison in the stove and started a barbecue.
This is mainly because he has basically no seasonings here except for coarse salt, and it is difficult to make any delicious food whether it is roasted or stewed, so it is better to roast.
Soon, that is, more than twenty minutes of work, the red raw venison was roasted to a golden brown, bubbling with grease, and at the same time, a smell of barbecue meat came out of the stove, which was appetizing.
"Brother Lu, Brother Lu, are you there?"
Lu Zheng was about to feast and sacrifice the Five Organs Temple, when Xu Yong's call for the door outside the courtyard floated in.
This kid came quite by coincidence.
Lu Zheng smiled, got up and went to open the door.
"Brother Lu, I came to look for you during the day yesterday, why aren't you there?"
Outside the door, Xu Yong held a jar of pickles in his hand, stepped in, and said with a strange face:
"My father and mother were worried that you would have no food to eat, so let ...... Huh?"
Before he finished speaking, Xu Yong's nose twitched, he had already smelled the aroma, and his eyes lit up and said:
"What smells so good?"
"Venison that I hunted in the mountains yesterday. ”
Lu Zheng pointed to the strings of venison hanging under the eaves and smiled, then beckoned:
"You're just in time, let you open the meat today!"
Into the mountains, the venison you hunted?
Xu Yong also saw the rows of venison under the eaves at this time, and said dumbfounded:
"Brother Lu, did you go into the mountains? and hunted a deer!?"
Lu Zheng said as he entered the house and took out several large skewers of roasted golden venison from the stove:
"I'm not alone, I followed Song Yuan into the mountain, he hunted a total of two deer, I worked hard to carry one back, and he divided half of my head. ”
"Song Yuan, that famous hunter in the outer village?"
Who is Song Yuan, Xu Yong naturally knows something, and he was pleasantly surprised:
"Brother Lu, did you convince him to take you into the mountain with you!?"
"Of course, after all, the two of us are in the same condition. ”
Lu Zheng explained concisely, then moved out of the stool and placed it in front of the door, and handed a large skewer of roasted venison to golden brown in front of Xu Yong:
"Taste it, how I bake it. ”
Xu Yong wanted to ask about entering the mountain again, but at this moment, he was suddenly hooked by the roast venison in front of him, and his index finger moved.
However, after taking the roast venison, he swallowed his throat, but did not eat it immediately, but hesitated, and said a little twisted: "Brother Lu, I have already eaten it just now, can I ...... this barbecue?"
"You want to bring it back to your parents?"
seemed to see what Xu Yong was thinking, Lu Zheng smiled:
"Eat with confidence! I got a lot of venison, I'll give you two copies to take back later, one for me to give to Brother Xu, and the other for your father, thank you for their care these days. ”
He is naturally not a heartless person, after coming to this world, Xu Yong's family and Xu Hu have helped him the most, and after he gained something, he immediately thought of repaying these people.
And when Lu Zheng broke what he thought, Xu Yong blushed a little, and then said happily: "Thank you, Brother Lu!"
When the words fell, he was no longer polite, grabbed the barbecue and ate it in a big gulp, his mouth full of oil.
For the vast majority of ordinary villagers, eating meat is definitely not an easy task, and such a large piece of meat is even more luxurious to hold in your hand and gnaw on it.
Lu Zheng smiled, grabbed the barbecue without paying attention, and took a big bite of it.
Although the roast venison this time only has salt as a condiment, it is also grilled on the outside and tender on the inside, and the deliciousness of the wild venison itself is fully brought into play, which is already a rare delicacy.
"It smells so good!"
In Xu Yong's vague praise, soon a whole piece of venison was swallowed, Lu Zheng gave him another piece, and the two of them devoured the whole thing, and soon ate a few catties of roasted venison, and there was not even a slag left.
Lu Zheng got up and was about to bake another oven, but Xu Yong, who was full of oil, hurriedly stopped him, and said with a satisfied face:
"Brother Lu, don't bake anymore, I'm full!"
Lu Zheng nodded, got up and took off a few more skewers of venison hanging on the eaves, and handed them to Xu Yong:
"You're going to go on a night patrol in a while, right, just when you bring the meat back to your father and mother, as well as Brother Xu. ”
"Brother Lu, this is a bit much, isn't it?"
Lu Zheng handed over a few catties of venison, and Xu Yong said a little embarrassed:
"You finally got into the mountains and gained a little, so that's all for us, then you ......"
Lu Zheng stuffed the venison into Xu Yong's arms:
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, take it. I'm going to go to the stockade now, so don't waste time. ”
"That'...... I thank you first for my father and brother Xu. ”
At this point, Xu Yong took the venison, and then asked curiously:
"Brother Lu, what are you going to do in the village now?"
Lu Zheng smiled: "I'll go find a bow!"
