Chapter 533: Double Standard
When people are young, they don't know the preciousness of life, some people fight fiercely, and some people commit suicide by drinking pesticides in anger.
But when you get older, you are afraid of death, and if you see your peers die, your heart will be sad.
The person only found out that it was gone early yesterday morning, and it was considered to be the end of his life, but before he died, he had been on the sickbed for a while.
Since Gao Mingcheng knew, he would definitely give a salute, and then ask if he needed his help.
The answer I got was naturally no, Gao Mingcheng was a junior in the big house, and the funeral was in the second room, and he invited the white master of ceremonies to handle it, and when Gao Mingcheng arrived here, a group of people were building a funeral shed in the courtyard.
After the funeral tent is erected, relatives and friends will come to mourn, and at this time, it is necessary to prepare meals for guests, and the chef invited is a visionary.
Gao Yuanjian has already set a menu, and the funeral family will go to prepare things, except for the money to buy meat, the rest of the dishes are basically in their own fields, if they don't grow their own food, then it is okay to buy some with other people in the village.
The cost of buying vegetables and buying a banquet will not be very large, and the most expensive part of the whole funeral is still in breaking the ground, buying a coffin, and asking the eight immortals to carry the coffin.
Gao Yuanzhi can steam wine, so the wine at the banquet is also served by him.
Gao Mingcheng saw that his father was building a stove with stones and mud, so he also stepped forward to take a hand.
Gao Yuanjian glanced at him, lowered his head and continued to do things, and after the stove was ready, Gao Yuanjian said: "Your aunt is also a little uncomfortable these days, wait for you to go and see her." ”
"Okay." Gao Mingcheng responded, this aunt is not a kiss, but the wife of Gao Yuanjian's cousin, that is, Gao Mingcheng's cousin, but here is calling aunt.
Seeing that there were a lot of people doing things here, there was really no need for his help, so Gao Mingcheng went to his aunt's house to sit down.
However, before going to Grandma's house, Gao Mingcheng first went to Grandma's house and borrowed twenty eggs from Grandma's house.
The elders in the family are uncomfortable, and if the juniors come to visit, they naturally can't be empty-handed, and Gao Mingcheng doesn't want to go back to Niuweiling to get it, so he simply borrows it from Grandma Xi and will return it to Grandma Xi when the time comes.
Xu is not loved by his parents, and Gao Mingcheng gets along with these relatives very well, after he came to the door with twenty eggs, he first asked for warmth for a while, and then he was a little speechless.
But I heard another news from here, the aunt's youngest son is also getting married this year, and the date is set for the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, calling Gao Mingcheng to come to eat and drink when the time comes.
This is a happy event, Gao Mingcheng naturally agreed.
Out of the door of the aunt's house, Gao Mingcheng listened to the mourning music coming from not far away, and thought about the aunt's son getting married, and couldn't help but feel emotional.
Society is composed of countless individuals, and everyone has their own joys, sorrows, births, old ages, sicknesses and deaths.
Gao Mingcheng stayed in the village for a few more days, and when the deceased was buried, the tea seeds were all shelled and dried, and Gao Mingcheng was ready to go to the county.
As for the sun-dried tea seeds, you can take them to the oil mill to squeeze out the tea oil now, but it is best to store them in a ventilated and dry place for a month or two, and then send them to the oil extraction after a day or two, because the tea seeds have the highest oil content and good oil quality.
Gao Mingcheng didn't know these tips before, he was squeezing oil more times, and after chatting with many people, he found that when he squeezed oil at different times, the oil yield was different.
On the morning of his trip to the county, Gao Mingcheng got up at four o'clock in the morning, and he was going to lead two dogs into the mountains to hunt a wild boar.
The weather is getting colder, and the wild boar meat that can't be eaten can be made into wind-blown meat at this time.
The nearest quarter moon is the first quarter moon, so in the second half of the night, there is no moon in the sky, only a few stars twinkling faintly.
It was pitch black all around, and the mountains were like giant beasts, and the mountain wind was howling, like the breath of giant beasts, bringing people a trace of oppression, warning people to stay away from here.
Gao Mingcheng held a javelin in his hand, and his body climbed the mountain briskly, and the black tiger and the elf were not affected by the light, and followed the scent left by the wild boar to go up the mountain.
The physical strength of one person and two dogs is very good, it only took half an hour, and he climbed a hill, and when he passed by a mountain ditch, Gao Mingcheng couldn't help but slow down, this kind of ditch is the place where wild beasts in the mountains often come to drink.
But now the ditch is unusually quiet, and it is clear that no animals have arrived.
Cross the ditch and continue the climb.
Lu Xun once said that there is no road in the world, and when there are more people walking, it becomes a road.
This is very true, the mountains here are inaccessible, so there are few people walking, so there is naturally no road!
Gao Mingcheng followed the two dogs, climbing and wading in the water, and from time to time he had to block the lush vegetation with the javelin in his hand to make way for himself.
He was wearing an old coat, although he was very careful, occasionally it would be cut by branches, but fortunately it was a thin cotton jacket, even if it was broken, the cotton inside was not easy to disperse, if he wore a down jacket, as long as it was broken, the down inside would run away, and a down jacket would be ruined.
After more than ten minutes, Gao Mingcheng finally made a discovery!
On a hillside, there are a few chunks of fresh boar droppings! And there are footprints left by wild boars on the ground!
Not only was Gao Mingcheng's spirit lifted a lot, but the black tiger and the elf also quickly ran towards the direction of the smell left by the wild boar as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
Not far ahead, a small herd of wild boars was scattered in the woods, mostly arching the mud with their noses and beaks, arching the rhizomes out of the soil and eating them.
Gao Mingcheng noticed that when a wild boar was arching the soil, some insects ran out of the soil, including a four-legged snake the size of a palm.
The four-legged snake came out of the soil and tried to escape, but it was too late and was devoured by the wild boar.
Wild boars are omnivores, basically eat everything, not to mention four-legged snakes, even poisonous snakes, wild boars also eat correctly, when there is a lack of food in winter, wild boars will also use their developed sense of smell to find the snake hibernating in the hole, once found, it is really a bite of a snake, after all, it is a rare delicacy.
Seeing the wild boar eating the four-legged snake, Gao Mingcheng was quite calm, but when he noticed that the wild boar was arching the Poria cocos, he was not calm!
This piece of Poria cocos is wild, Gao Mingcheng will not dig out all the wild Poria cocos in the mountain when he digs it every autumn, and he has to keep some for seeding, and when he is going to plant Poria next spring.
But now the poria he was reluctant to dig has become food for wild boars!
"Black Tiger, Elf, Up!" Gao Mingcheng patted the heads of the two dogs and ordered in a low voice.
In fact, he hides in the shadows and throws javelins secretly, which has a higher hit rate, but in this way, the black tiger and the elves are not trained.
The black tiger and the elf were also bold, and immediately rushed out like rockets.
It's just that the deterrent power of the two dogs is not great, and most of the wild boars in this group are boars, and when they saw the two dogs rushing over, they were not afraid at all, and they crashed towards the two dogs.
"Wangwang." The black tiger and the elf immediately barked, and after a brief panic, the two dogs tacitly bit at a little pig.
In the animal world, it has always been the law of the jungle, even when the lion is hunting, it will not directly attack the most ferocious male, but will pick the old, weak, sick and the young.
The little pig should have been born in the spring of this year, it was when the meat was tender and delicious, Gao Mingcheng was also very satisfied with this prey, but unfortunately the male wild boar encountered today was too fierce, and the black tiger and the elf just bit the little pig, and they were knocked away by a boar.
In terms of collision force, the two dogs are naturally better than the boar, so they can only retreat.
Seeing that the black tiger and the elf had fallen into the disadvantage, Gao Mingcheng, who was hiding in the shadows, quietly went down!
With a "whoosh", a javelin carried the sound of breaking the sky, and quickly stabbed at one of the fierce boars.
With Gao Mingcheng's strength and accuracy, the head of the gun pierced directly into the eye socket of the wild boar, straight into the cerebral marrow, almost killing with one shot, the wild boar fell down with convulsions, and gradually lost its breath.
This sudden killing finally scared the other boars away, and they immediately ran away, but the black tiger and the elf wanted to take the opportunity to recover the previous decline and continued to chase the little pig.
When the black tiger jumped up and bit the neck of the piglet, the elf finally arrived and bit the piglet's hind leg, to be precise, a chrysanthemum.
The chrysanthemum was tender, and the elf's sharp teeth bit on it, and immediately bit the skin, and the elf tasted the blood of the prey, and bit it more and more excitedly.
The little pig's chrysanthemum was seriously damaged, and it fell to the ground and struggled in pain, wailing in its mouth, but its neck was bitten by the black tiger and did not let go, but it was struggling.
When Gao Mingcheng saw the elves' achievements, he couldn't help but tighten his chrysanthemums.
The fate of this little pig, at this moment, is already doomed.
Although the elf can't dig out the anus, the piglet's chrysanthemum has been bitten by it, and the black tiger is still biting the piglet's neck.
The situation stalemates for several minutes and ends with the death of the piglet.
"Wow!" The blood-soaked black tiger and elf shouted excitedly at Gao Mingcheng, as if they were asking for credit.
"Well done!" Gao Mingcheng praised and decided to leave some more meat for the two dogs to eat.
He stepped forward, pulled out the javelin, and then lifted the male boar, and after estimating the weight, Gao Mingcheng decided to bleed and disembowel on the spot.
Because Gao Mingcheng estimated that this male wild boar was about more than 400 catties, it was the heaviest wild boar he had ever beaten.
As for the little pig, it would be more than 100 pounds to die.
But the two combined, there are more than 500 catties. Although he can afford it, there is no need to fight so hard.
If it is bled and disemboweled, then at least it is much lighter.
Although he decided to dispose of it on the spot, Gao Mingcheng first moved the wild boar to the edge of a nearby ditch, which is flatter and has water for easy cleaning.
Gao Mingcheng dealt with this big male wild boar first, first bleed, and then disemboweled, after the knife was cut, it was hot inside, and it was still steaming.
Gao Mingcheng first cut two pieces of pork belly and threw one each to the black tiger and the elf.
The two dogs immediately half-lay on the ground and ate it.
Look at how much they ate with relish, Gao Mingcheng's stomach rumbled with hunger.
I just looked at the raw meat in my hand, thought about it, and still didn't eat it.
They don't have the habit of eating raw meat and raw fish here, Gao Mingcheng rushed to the fashion in his previous life and went to eat sashimi, but whether it was salmon or tuna, as long as it was raw, he couldn't accept it, and he always felt that the taste was very strange.
It's just that starvation is also a kind of cultivation!
After some self-brainwashing, Gao Mingcheng continued to work.
The whole body of the pig is a treasure, except for the pig manure, which cannot be eaten, the rest of the internal organs can also be eaten. Therefore, Gao Mingcheng took out the internal organs of the pork belly, pig small intestine, and pig large intestine, and cut off a piece of the chrysanthemum by the way.
Naturally, the pork belly will not be lost, the wild boar belly is very delicious, and it is said that it has medicinal effects, as for the large and small intestines, he thought about it, and did not lose it, so he cleaned the dirty things inside along the gutter, and then threw it into the snakeskin bag he carried with him.
The big pig was treated like this, and so was the little pig, and when he was all cleaned up, the sky was getting brighter.
The fish in the east is white, and the frost rises in the sky.
Gao Mingcheng carried the wild boar on one shoulder, the little pig in one arm, and the javelin and snakeskin bag in his empty hand.
In the white mist in the mountains, Gao Mingcheng, who was burdened, walked towards the foot of the mountain step by step, the black tiger and the elf were already full of food and drink, and they even had the leisure to chase hedgehogs and rabbits along the way, which could envy Gao Mingcheng.
O man, your name is Responsibility!
The responsible Gao Mingcheng could only grit his teeth secretly and stride forward. In his mind, he thought that many Mei and Gao Shufang and others saw the wild boar he hit, and then praised him, and his body suddenly became more powerful.
As the saying goes, it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, when Gao Mingcheng enters the mountain, it is easy, but when he goes down the mountain, he carries a weight of nearly 500 catties, and it takes more than an hour to go down the mountain.
Fortunately, Chen Dasong, who was keeping vigil in the chicken coop, was the first to notice the situation, and immediately dropped the work in his hand and ran towards Gao Mingcheng.
"Mingcheng, the wild boar you beat is too big! Oops, I hit two heads! Chen Dasong's face was full of shock, and he immediately stepped forward to take the snakeskin bag and javelin in Gao Mingcheng's hand.
These two things, for him, are a bit heavy.
Gao Mingcheng gently threw the wild boar on the ground and said to Chen Dasong: "Uncle, call someone to help with things, it's still the old rule." ”
Chen Dasong nodded in response and ran quickly towards home.
He is going to call his family and Zhang Chengyuan to do things, two wild boars, enough to be busy!
After returning home, Gao Mingcheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, but his stomach became more and more hungry, and he didn't want to eat gruel or noodles at this time, but wanted to eat barbecue.
He immediately cut a few pieces of wild boar meat, and cut off a pair of pork kidneys of the male wild boar, removed the piece of meat in the middle of the pork kidney, and then cut the flower knife and salted it before he went to wash the iron skewers, which he specially bought, and it was more convenient to use to roast meat.
While he was busy preparing the barbecue feast, the team that handled the wild boar had already arrived, and the first to arrive was Aunt Liu leading her two sons, and the slow ones were Zhang Chengyuan and many jades, many of whom also came with small stones.
"Brother Mingcheng, what are you doing here?" Chen Duoxi looked curiously at Gao Mingcheng's action of igniting the fire.
Gao Mingcheng said generously: "Prepare to grill some meat to eat, if you want to eat it, you can cut some by yourself, take the salt and roast it." ”
A hint of joy flashed in Chen Duoxi's eyes, and he was about to agree, but he was lightly scolded by Aunt Liu: "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and work!" ”
Turning her head, Aunt Liu said to Gao Mingcheng in a gentle voice: "I have cooked porridge at home, this barbecue will definitely take a while, you can eat a bowl of porridge to cushion your stomach first." ”
This double standard made Chen Duoxi grin, but he didn't dare to say anything more, and went to work obediently. (End of chapter)
