Chapter Thirty-Four: The Old Blind Man's Paw

"Huhuhuhu"

When he returned home, the first thing Gongliang did was to dig out the bear paws buried in the stove.

The bear's paws were wrapped in volcanic mud, and they were so hot that he screamed when he accidentally touched them.

The volcanic mud has been burned white by the charcoal fire, and when you knock it lightly, the dried soil on it falls off from the bear's paws, and the fine hairs on it also fall off, leaving only the clean palm meat.

When Gongliang took the palm, he deliberately took the right palm of the old blind man, and at this time, the fine hair was removed, and it looked particularly fat and thick.

There is actually a reason why the right palm is taken.

In his previous life, he once read a notebook, which read: "Black bears love honey the most, and the honeycombs of Changbai Mountain, nine times out of ten, are built in dead trees lying on the ground." The black bear really has a hand in stealing honey, with thick skin and thick flesh, and is not afraid of bees to sting, it eats enough honey in late autumn, and then hides in the hole of a big tree to sting in winter. The black bear can stand upright, the forefoot is particularly flexible, when hibernating, use one forefoot against the valley road, the other palm is dedicated to licking and sucking, this year with the left forepaw, next year must change the right forepaw. Therefore, when cutting the bear's paw to cook, there must be two separate pots and stew, some people say that the palm against the valley road one, stewed always with a little smell, discarded and not eaten, this is just a legend speculation, not enough to believe. However, one palm does not move in winter, one palm licks it every day, and the saliva essence is infiltrated day and night, and it is natural for this palm to be fat and thick. ”

It was also because of seeing this note that Gongliang took the old blind man's bear paw and smelled it specially, and saw that his right palm smelled of honey and was fat, so he took his right palm.

The old blind man was actually the same breed as the black bear he had seen in his previous life, but it was taller.

Common black bears are called bear blind because of their poor eyesight. And the old blind man is called because this is the older black bear among the black bears, the physique is far larger than the average black bear, and the temperament is very ferocious, but it has not yet reached the level of fierce beasts, and it has barely broken away from the ordinary beast and entered the ranks of fierce beasts.

After the old blind man's bear paw was removed and washed, Gongliang put the bear paw into a pot and boiled it according to the method of handling the bear paw he had learned before, and after an hour, he quickly took it out and flushed it with cold water to remove the skin, toes, claws, and bones.

Then wash the bear's paws, smear them with a thick layer of honey, and then put them in a pot and simmer for another hour.

This time, the boiled bear's paw looks significantly more than twice as large as the original, and the body of the paw has become softer.

After Gongliang waited for the bear's paws to cool, he began to peel the skin and extract the meat. The bear's paw skin was rough and difficult to peel, and it really tested his knife skills. After taking out the palm meat, put it in the pot and cook it over low heat, until it is a little soft, then stop the heat and let it cool completely, then cook it after it is cold, and stop again after cooking. After three or four times, Gongliang put the pheasants, birds, and mushrooms that were brought to the bear's paw soup into a thick soup made from the bones of fierce beasts, and then stewed the whole bear's paw together, and put some fresh creek fish into it.

Bear's paws don't have any flavor on their own, and they must be used to absorb the flavor.

After about eight or nine hours of simmering, the bear's paw was finally cooked. Gongliang poked lightly with his chopsticks, and the gelatin in the palm meat kept gushing out, and the entire bear paw had almost been stewed and melted.

It took him two days to make this bear's paw.

In his previous life, he had no other hobbies, so he was interested in two things, one was travel and the other was food. Food in particular takes precedence over tourism. At that time, he liked strange things such as bear paws, but at that time, the state protected them, and his own financial resources were limited, so he didn't eat these things at all. However, he learned how to handle these things, and he came here to see such good ingredients. If he doesn't eat it, he is not a fool.

Because the old blind bear's paw is not yet at the level of a fierce beast, the Xiaoshi brothers can also eat it.

It's just that there isn't a lot of meat in this palm, so Igongliang kept an eye on it and planned to keep it and eat it secretly at night.

It's a pity that Brother Xiaoshi has often come to him in the past two days, and knowing that the bear's paw is ripe today, he sat at his house and prepared to eat, but he didn't go anywhere.

In the afternoon, Gongliang had to go to practice spears, and he was afraid that the stewed bear paws after going out would be eaten by two guys. I had no choice but to bring out the bear's paw and share it with them. He comforted himself in his heart, there was also a red palm in the house, it was a fierce beast, they couldn't eat it, and they wouldn't enjoy it alone when the time came.

This time, Gongliang didn't forget to be round, and after quickly serving a bowl of bear paws to it, he grabbed it with the little stone brothers who were buried in dealing with bear paws.

The bear's paw was thick and thick, and he peeled the bones and skin, and stewed it with his heart. The palm meat has long since melted into water, and half of the meat can no longer be seen. Therefore, you can't catch it with chopsticks at all, and you have to use a spoon to scoop it.

Gongliang scooped a spoonful of bear's paw and put it in his mouth, only to feel a fresh and sweet taste into the tongue bud, mixed with the taste of pheasant, flying birds, stream fish, mountain mushrooms and wild mushrooms, it is really wonderful. As soon as I tasted it, I couldn't stop, and a small pot of bear's paws was eaten by the three of them.

After all, the old blind man's bear paw is not the meat of a fierce beast, he can only taste the taste, and he can't get any energy from it. And when I eat with Xiao Shi and their brothers, who are particularly able to eat, I can't eat much at all, and it's hard to get filled. So, Gongliang had to cook something else to eat.

However, after tasting the bear's paws, he was looking forward to the taste of the red palms, which were as big as a hug for him to eat.

After eating, Gongliang walked out of the tribe with a spear and a pair of short spears.

When he came to the woods next to the waterfall where he caught the brook fish, he began to practice.

As a result, the woods next to the waterfall became his target for spear practice. There is no skill in using a spear, it is nothing more than a straight stab, it is very simple, as long as you do three words "fast, accurate, ruthless", you will be invincible.

In fact, the collapse fist that Gongliang practiced in the past can also be applied to the spear, and it should be said that the collapse fist is more suitable for the spear, because they are all straight stabs like arrows.

The simpler it is, the less fancy it is, and although it is easy to practice, it is difficult to master. The same is true of spears, which are easy to learn, but it is not easy to practice to the point where they are like arrows and thunder. But it's not easy, Gongliang still insists on practicing. In just a few moments, a tree was stabbed by him.

After practicing the spear for a while, he rested and began to practice throwing the short spear again.

It's easy to throw a short spear, but it takes time to practice to accurately stab the target, and the last thing Gongliang lacks is time.

That's how he practiced, day after day. Gradually, he was able to wear a four-hundred-pound iron armor and carry a huge log to run fast, and the flying spear could be stabbed out and put away as fast as a thunderbolt, and the short spear also had a certain accuracy. At this time, the tribal warrior returned from hunting, and his hunt was about to begin.

Seeing that the warrior had returned from hunting, Gongliang hurriedly ran to the leader to ask for a few bags of fierce beast blood, except for some for his own use, and poured all the rest into the rice field where the three-color rice was planted.

It is strange to say that after pouring the blood of the fierce beast, the original verdant three-color rice seedlings slowly turned thick green, and the seedlings began to grow slowly.

It seems that this three-color rice still needs to be watered with the blood of fierce beasts, otherwise it would have grown very slowly in the past, and it would not have been so fast.

However, the blood of the fierce beast is not available every day, and now we can only hope for the internal organs of the fierce beast below. Although the qi and blood essence of the internal organs of the fierce beast is less, it is better than nothing.
