No.56 Muntjac meat
For this nameless sinkhole, the more he thought about it, the hotter Wang Mingyuan's heart became.
Under his repeated requests, Zhang Shouzhong finally agreed, and decided to discuss with everyone in the evening and take Wang Mingyuan on a special trip.
The Tiankeng is two or three thousand meters away from the garrison point in a straight line, separated by several small hills, and it is much more difficult to walk through the dense forest than on this patrol route.
One back and forth a day, I'm afraid I have to hurry up a little bit.
In the evening, Wang Mingyuan saw Zhang Shouzhong and the others return with his glasses, and looked at the things they were carrying one by one, which made him very suspicious that these guys were going to patrol the border or to hunt and pick wild vegetables.
Good guys, Zhang Shouli and Zhang Shouyi, they actually worked together to carry a muntjac weighing thirty or forty pounds with a wooden stick, Chen Jiawang carried a hare, Chen Youdong carried a pheasant, and the remaining few people, their hands were not empty, and they all brought some wild vegetables or some birds such as turtledoves.
The harvest of this trip is really amazing.
Wang Mingyuan and Zhang Shouzhong glanced at each other, and the two of them quickly slid down the rope ladder to the ground, and quickly went down the hillside to the garrison point.
"There are too many mountain goods in this mountain, like around our village, there are too many people arrested, traps and buttons are set up everywhere in the mountain, and a rabbit can not be caught for a few days, this mountain is different, all the way to patrol, Brother Zhang and Brother Zhang set up rope buckles, and they came back and caught a few things one after another, especially this muntjac...... I can't even think of it! ”
Chen Jiawang looked very happy, and as soon as he saw Zhang Shouzhong, he said excitedly: "This time, I really obeyed the methods of your third brother, just look at the footprints and feces freshness left by the surrounding animals, and you can easily tell what animals have appeared. ”
Zhang Shouzhong smiled: "It's just a routine operation!" ”
Wang Mingyuan said secretly: You are really welcome, do you know, your so-called routine operation, without rich experience, can not be routine.
However, what really interested him was the muntjac carried by Zhang Shouyi and Zhang Shouli.
I had seen a demented head in the forest when I came before, but at that time, I only showed a head, and after being completely alarmed, I jumped and fled quickly, Wang Mingyuan actually didn't really see it clearly.
Now when I look closely, I see that this is an animal very similar to a deer, but much smaller, smaller than a goat, and the whole thing looks like a very strong and powerful animal, but it also looks a little cute.
This thing, in the era when Wang Mingyuan lived, rarely appeared in the public's field of vision.
Only in remote places, there are occasional people who claim to have seen it, and they are very timid and keen, and it is difficult to capture.
And this head, there is no breathing, and there is no trauma on the body, but it feels that the neck position is soft and collapsed, Wang Mingyuan estimates that this muntjac is nine times out of ten is broken and killed.
Hiss...... It's cruel!
It's also in this era, in 2023, try it, hunt wild animals, and if you are caught, no one has good fruit to eat.
"Brother Zhang, this muntjac got a tooth sacrifice tonight?" Chen Jiawang looked at Zhang Shouyi with a smile and asked: "You three brothers can often eat some, our Chen Jiagou and these few, don't look at the shotguns, but how often can't we eat them." ”
Hearing Chen Jiawang say this, Wang Mingyuan knew that this muntjac should have been caught by him Zhang Shouyi, but Zhang Shouyi had a calm face and did not respond.
Among the game, muntjac is already considered a big commodity, far from being comparable to rabbits and pheasants, and if it is sold in the market, it can definitely be sold for a large price.
It's just meat.
The fur on its body is smooth and shiny, and it is also a very rare kind of fur.
Now let it be made out of the tooth sacrifice, and if it is anyone, it will be very reluctant. You must know that the money earned after selling it is enough for the family to have food rations for a long time.
Seeing that Zhang Shouyi was embarrassed, Chen Jiawang also realized that his words were too hasty, and said with a dry smile: "I'll just make a joke......"
Wang Mingyuan smiled at Zhang Shouyi at this time: "Uncle Zhang, let's eat it, it's still a few days before we go back, the weather is hot and stuffy, if this muntjac is alive, it's okay, it's already dead, but it won't last long, just peel the skin, you keep the skin, and the rest of the meat will be eaten, just right, I haven't eaten it either." ”
Zhang Shouyi looked up at Wang Mingyuan, this time he didn't hesitate anymore, and nodded very happily: "That's reasonable, since you Xiao Wang wants to eat, then get it and eat it, isn't it just a muntjac!" ”
At this time, Chen Jiawang was stunned.
When he opened his mouth and said that he wanted to get a tooth sacrifice, Zhang Shouyi looked ugly, very reluctant, and didn't even talk, but it was this young man who had settled in Zhangjiaao for a few days, and as soon as he opened his mouth, people agreed quite happily.
What's going on?
Anyway, I've known each other for some years, isn't his face as good as this young man?
Chen Jiawang's face became a little ugly, but he didn't say much.
Seeing that Zhang Shouyi agreed, the others immediately became extremely happy, and Zhang Shouzhong held a knife and peeled off the muntjac skin completely, while the others were busy helping to deal with it.
At this moment, Wang Mingyuan pulled Zhang Shouyi aside and quietly gave Zhang Shouyi forty yuan, he had quietly asked Zhang Shouzhong about the price before, and the price of this meat was about thirty yuan, which was quite much.
"I can't ask you for this money, you have sent a lot of meat oil to your home during this time, and you have given a lot of money to catch locusts, Shouzhong is also a person who has seen some of the world, I believe in Shouzhong's judgment, follow you, you will be able to live a good life, and you have indeed never treated us badly, everyone treats you as Zhangjiaao's own family. This muntjac is for you to eat, I am willing. ”
Zhang Shouyi said it very sincerely.
When Wang Mingyuan heard this, he was a little moved, but he didn't expect that he already had such a friendship in the hearts of several families in Zhangjiaao.
What a simple man! Wang Mingyuan felt that he had not paid anything.
"I will definitely lead you to a good life, if there is anything good, I will definitely hold on to you first, rest assured! But one yard is one yard, I can't take you for nothing, this is my code of conduct, you must collect this money, otherwise, next time I get something good, I won't be able to talk to you.
Besides, now everyone's hands are tight, life is not easy, I am different, I have relatives, I don't have to worry about food or clothing, how can it be simpler than you. When you have a better life in the future, maybe I'll come to the door every day to eat...... After collecting the money, it is also good to give the baby and women at home a change of better clothes. ”
Wang Mingyuan said, and forced the money into Zhang Shouyi's hand: "If you don't continue, I'm going to turn my face!" ”
Seeing that Wang Mingyuan's face became serious, Zhang Shouyi let out a long sigh and looked at the four ten-yuan bills in his hand: "However, those meats are not worth these money......
"You can treat me as your own family, this friendship, not to mention just a few dollars, even if it is a thousand gold, it is difficult to buy, take it, I think it is worth it!"
Wang Mingyuan smiled at Zhang Shouyi: "Here, I also treat you as relatives!" ”
After speaking, he turned around and went to help deal with the muntjac meat, leaving Zhang Shouyi alone for a long time, and then laughed too.
There are delicious food, all of them are extremely positive, it took less than two hours, a large pot of red soup muntjac meat stewed well, Zhang Shouzhong deliberately went to find a wild vegetable called fragrant willow and added it to the pot.
Fragrant willow is a plant with a special fragrance that is more like a seasoning, and often grows in places with abundant aquatic plants.
was stimulated by the fragrance of fragrant willow, and for a while, the whole pot of meat seemed to become strange, and the smell could hook out the gluttonous insects.
When a group of people gathered around the pot to eat, all that was left was the sound of sucking when the mouth was hot......
