Chapter 33: A Familiar Taste
Because of the mention of his father, both of them were full of hearts, and Tianyou, the curious baby, didn't have much to say, so the two stepped up and hurried up to meet the dog.
By the time they reached the entrance to the basin, the dogs had already set up the traps and traps, and were setting up pots and cooking in a flat clearing.
When they saw Huzi coming, they hurriedly greeted them
"Yo, Brother Huzi, yes, Brother Huzi is out of the horse, a top two, this went out for a walk, and brought back a rabbit and a harrier, it seems that you can add food" The dog got up and took the rabbit from Huzi's hand, and threw the harrier to Haiyu, "This is handed over to you to deal with, I'll deal with the rabbit" After speaking, he led the rabbit to a small pond not far away.
Haiyu took the harrier and said "Okay", and also walked to the side with the harrier
Tianyou was a little curious, how he was going to clean up this harrier, so he followed, "Brother Haiyu, I'll give you a hand."
"Hands, no, you just wait to eat later, see my brother make you a delicious meal" said, Haiyu pulled out a small short knife from his waist, the blade is four or five inches long, made of steel, the blade exudes cold light, it looks very sharp, this is also a hunter to go out of the necessary equipment, at this time it is specially used to unravel the prey, sometimes the hunter hits the big prey, because it is too heavy to take the whole home, so he can only pick up the most valuable prey to take away, such as fur, horns, claws, etc., which requires a sharp unplaning tool; In addition, this knife is also a hunter's kitchen knife, and it also needs to be cut when eating in the wild, and this knife plays the role of a kitchen knife.
Haiyu took out a scalpel, stabbed it in the harrier's stomach, and with a little force, he gave the harrier a disembowelment, took out the harrier's internal organs with his hands, and dug a small pit on the side and buried it.
Then pick up the kettle and clean the harrier's belly a little, which is considered to be done.
Then, under the bewildered gaze of Tianyou, he poured the water from the kettle on the ground and began to make mud.
It seems to see the doubts of Tianyou, "Don't you understand?" ”
Tianyou was like a schoolboy and nodded "Well, I don't understand"
"If you don't understand, it's right, look carefully, you'll understand later" said and smeared the live mud layer by layer on the surface of the harrier, and beckoned Tianyou to return after finishing.
When they arrived at the camp, they threw the mud-covered harrier into the fire.
"Brother Haiyu, is this okay?"
"That's it, the food will be baked later, wait," Haiyu replied with a smile
But, God bless, you'll be a hunter in the future, and I'll tell you a little bit about it, you see I just handled this harrier, left our camp, and I buried the harrier's entrails, do you know why? “
"The taste, that thing is a little fishy" Tianyou thought for a moment and replied.
"Yes, it's the smell, the internal organs of the animals have a very fishy smell, this smell can travel far away, it is easy to attract other carnivores, so it is best to deal with the internal organs away from the ground, and it is better to bury them, we are okay here, there are not too many big animals to come, if you go to the mountains, you must remember to get as far away from the camp as possible"
Tianyou was ashamed for a while, just now he said that there was a fishy smell, but he simply said that it smelled, without taking into account the dangerous factors
The dog carried the rabbit that was handled, and the dog handled the rabbit was even more simple and rude, directly disemboweling and peeling the skin, skewering it with a wooden stick, and roasting it directly on the fire.
After a while, the fragrance had drifted out, the rabbit had been roasted and browned, making a sizzling sound, smelling the rabbit's meat, Tianyou's stomach cooed uncontrollably, causing everyone to laugh again.
Seeing that the rabbit was almost roasted, the dog took out a small bamboo tube from his arms, pulled out the stopper, gently poured out some powdery things, sprinkled them on the already browned rabbit, and showed off to the sky and said, "This is my exclusive secret, with this, this roasted rabbit can become a delicacy in the world."
As he spoke, he tore off a rabbit leg and handed it to Tianyou.
Tossing for so long, Tianyou was really hungry, caught the rabbit leg and bit it hard, Tianyou was not only stunned, the taste of this rabbit meat really has nothing to say, but also has a familiar taste of Tianyou, cumin, eat this taste again, Tianyou wants to cry a little, almost eight years.
Seeing Tianyou's red eyes, everyone was puzzled and asked with concern, "What's wrong?" ”
Of course, Tianyou can't tell the truth, and even if he tells the truth, no one will believe it, so he can only say perfunctorily, "This rabbit meat is so delicious, I have never eaten such a delicious barbecue"
Everyone laughed and made fun of Tianyu and said that he was not promising.
Tianyou understands that everyone is just joking with him, and he doesn't mind.
"Brother Gouzi, what is your barbecue secret, can you tell me, I think it's so delicious" Tianyou asked with a red face,
"You want? Shout two more brothers," the dog teased
"Brother, brother......" Tianyou shouted more than ten times in one breath
"Stop...... Stop...... I'm afraid of you, this is not a treasure, it is a kind of weed on the slope of the mountain behind our village, this kind of weed is ground into powder, and it is delicious to sprinkle it on the barbecue.
"Brother Dog, you are so good" Tianyou hurriedly sent a good person card,
After everyone finished eating the barbecue, another person ate some food cooked by sea jade; Everyone eats a ditch full of ravines, and those who don't have a chance can have two full burps.
After everyone finished eating, it was almost evening, the sun was no longer dazzling, and a red sun slowly set in the west.
Huzi hurriedly beckoned everyone to set up camp tents, and he was going to camp in this mountain today
Everyone responded and went their separate ways
The two brothers, Haiyu and Haizhong, opened their backpacks and were busy setting up the tent, the humidity in the mountains was heavy, and if they stayed overnight in the open air, they might be infected with wind and cold after one night. So tents are an indispensable piece of equipment for hunters in the mountains.
Gouzi and Dapeng left the camp with a firewood knife at this time, Tianyou looked puzzled, didn't they want to camp and rest, why did these two people leave.
However, his doubts were quickly answered by Huzi, who turned out that the two men had gone to chop wood, and when the hunters camped for the night, they would raise a fire on the edge of the camp and never put it out all night. The main reason for lighting a fire is to drive away uninvited guests who come at night, and many large carnivores like to eat and hunt at night, and of course hunters camping in the wild are also one of their prey. In the earliest days, it was only possible to arrange more people to be on duty at night, and rely on people's vigilance to guard against the attack of carnivores, but people always had a lack of concentration or napping at night, and it can be said that in this night when hunters and prey switched, hunters suffered heavy losses.
It was not until later, when careful hunters discovered that the animals in the mountains were more afraid of fire, that the situation improved. Since then, hunters have lit a few fires on the edge of the camp when camping in the wild, and over time, this has become an iron rule for hunters to camp. Another reason, lighting a fire on the edge of the camp is also for heating, the mountain is humid, the night is relatively cool, people in this environment, it is easy to get sick, but through these fires after roasting, it can not only dispel a part of the moisture, but also provide a certain amount of warmth to the camp.
It can be said that lighting a fire at the camp is a multi-tasking thing.
