In this forest area, the importance of cattle is self-evident.

Thirty years ago, among the old cattle that died abnormally in the Yong'an Forest Area, apart from those killed by tigers and bears, one was killed when Wang Dabaopang gave his old son a full moon.

Therefore, the old scalper Zhao Youcai hunted today was the second one!

Regardless of how the cow died, the most important thing for the Zhao family now is how to eat the cow.

The beef ribs with a lot of meat left on them were lowered into the pot one by one, blanched in water, taken out, rinsed with water to remove the blood foam, and then placed in another large pot to cook.

Master Zhao is at home today, and he personally takes on the important task of cooking the spoon. He only adds salt and wild pepper picked in the mountains to the pot. In addition, other condiments are left unchanged.

After folding the meat, Zhao Youcai pulled the beef tenderloin on the cutting board beside him.

The meat had been left outside for nearly an hour and was still in a semi-frozen state. Zhao Youcai quickly cut the large cube of beef tenderloin into thin slices.

These meat slices, according to Wang Meilan's request, will be made into pot dumplings.

Guobao pork is usually made of pork, but Wang Meilan said that this is a halal way to eat it and it must be eaten this way.

Zhao Youcai, who had just made a thousand yuan in trouble today, did not dare to continue to show off in front of Wang Meilan. After cutting the meat slices in an obedient manner, he pulled out a large piece of beef brisket and prepared to cook Wang Meilan's favorite beef stew.

Big radish.

At this time, Wang Meilan, Jin Xiaomei, and Yang Yufeng were chopping beef fillings in the house, while Zhao Jun, Wang Qiang, and Zhang Yuanmin were burning cow heads and hooves in the backyard.

In fact, it stands to reason that these things should be burned outside the hospital, but Zhao Youcai refused to let him go. He had to ask if he had to burn them outside for people to watch. When others asked, he couldn't say anything.

In order to take care of Chief Zhao's face, Zhao Jun and others could only hide behind the house, pile up branches and dry firewood, light them, and burn the ox's hooves first.

In winter, the northwest wind blows, and there is still wind behind the house.

He put a cow's hoof on the fire, and a plume of black smoke rose up, and an unpleasant smell instantly filled the air.

Gradually, the black smoke became thicker and thicker, and the pregnant female roe deer in the shed began to become uneasy. The hen kept croaking "oh uh" and the goose also kept croaking "uh uh".

"What a day!" Zhao Jun really couldn't do anything to Zhao Youcai, so he, Wang Qiang, and Zhang Yuanmin hid far away.

Zhang Yuanmin was holding a saw with a bent handle and laboriously sawing the horns of the cow. Wang Qiang came close to Zhao Jun and whispered: "What does your father say? Let's do it. He is not in a good mood today."

"It's all up to me!" Zhang Yuanmin, who was squatting under the wall and sawing the horns of an ox, stopped what he was saying, raised his head and said to Zhao Jun: "Brother, that time you told me and the minister that Huanglong was a loser. After you finish speaking, I

I didn’t take it seriously.”

When Zhao Jun heard this, he smiled and shook his head. He had said casually before that he had not expected that Zhao Youcai could lead the dog up the mountain. He did not expect that it would be such a coincidence that Zhao Youcai took Huang Long out for the first time and met Lao Niu!

Now think about it, the last time I went to Lingnan, Zhao Youcai took the dog to Yongxing. It was a good thing that he didn't bring Huanglong with him that time. Otherwise, if the dog got to the production team, Zhao Youcai might not be able to come back!

"Okay, don't say anything." Wang Qiang smiled and said, "My brother-in-law... that's his fate."

At this point, Wang Qiang put his elbow on the stunned Zhao Jun's shoulder, and continued with a smile: "Nephew, do you know that your dad is a shooter now?"

Zhao Jun was startled. He remembered that Zhao Youcai had boasted to him just now about how good he was at shooting, but Zhao Jun didn't take it seriously at all.

But if my uncle said the same thing, then it’s true!

Seeing that Zhao Jun didn't seem to believe it, Wang Qiang said to him: "If you don't believe it, just ask your brother Zhang. Then the aid workers in front of us were watching. We were walking to the mountain field on Nan Da Di, and someone flew over from the sky.

Mountain Swallow. Your dad picked up a gun and shot the mountain swallow directly."

"Ah?" Wang Qiang's words frightened Zhao Jun, and he quickly asked: "Are you fooled?"

"No!" Wang Qiang curled his lips, shook his head and said, "I'm not blind."

With that said, Wang Qiang spread his hands and explained to Zhao Jun: "As I watched him, I loaded the gun with a bullet, and then turned sideways and shot him."

After saying this, Wang Qiang added: "If he is blinded, he can't just load a bullet."

"Oops..." Zhao Jun clicked his eyes when he heard this. According to what his uncle said, his own father's marksmanship has reached a very powerful level.

Zhao Jun had never seen how good Zhou Chengguo's marksmanship was before he was injured, but he thought it was just like this.

After being seriously injured, Zhou Chengguo is no longer at his peak, and he may no longer have such shooting skills. As for Zhao Jun himself, he has never been able to do this in this life or his previous life.

"Hiss...my dad..." Zhao Jun was very confused at this time, wondering when Zhao Youcai had mastered such a pistol technique?

"Son!" At this time, Wang Meilan came over from the front yard and saw Zhao Jun and the others standing under the wall, so she called Zhao Jun.

"Mom!" Zhao Jun followed Wang Meilan to the front yard. Wang Meilan pulled a piece of meat from the door panel and said to Zhao Jun: "Give this meat to your Uncle Ma's house."

Zhao Jun smiled when he heard this, looked at Zhao Youcai who was sitting by the big stove pit, warming himself, and asked Wang Meilan: "Mom, if you want my aunt to ask, where did you put this beef? What should I say?"

Normally, when Zhao Jun goes up the mountain to bring back prey, he rarely delivers it to Ma Ling's family. But this is not because Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan are reluctant to part with it, but because Ma Ling has not come here yet. If he just brings things to Ma's family now, it will easily put pressure on them.

.

But today this is beef, which is rarely seen a few times a year in the forest area.

Therefore, Wang Meilan asked Zhao Jun to send a piece of beef to Ma Ling's family. The piece of beef she just chose weighed about five or six kilograms. According to the local people's favorite way of eating, Ma Ling's family can stew a pot of beef and big radish.

, and then make a big steamed dumpling filled with beef.

But Zhao Jun’s words are a good idea!

"Otherwise, don't give it away!" Zhao Youcai felt something was wrong, so he quickly came over and said to Wang Meilan: "When I hunt wild boars one day, I can get them more meat. This beef... we will keep it for our own family.

!”

Zhao Youcai wasn't being petty. He listened to Zhao Jun's words and was afraid that when Zhao Jun went to deliver meat to the Ma family, Wang Cuihua would ask where the beef came from.

"Are you still hunting wild boars?" Wang Meilan tilted her head and glanced at Zhao Youcai, and said, "Please stop now!"

Zhao Youcai was stunned for a moment by Wang Meilan, and then heard Wang Meilan continue: "The little you earned yesterday is not enough to compensate you today!"

Zhao Youcai blushed, and Zhao Jun asked Wang Meilan, "Oh my god, my aunt didn't pay for it, did she?"

"No!" Wang Meilan glared at Zhao Youcai and said, "A horse pulls a horse and a donkey pulls the mill - every yard is a yard! How can you get people to spend money on the trouble your father caused?"

At this point, Wang Meilan turned around and glanced at the closed door, and then whispered to Zhao Jun: "As long as your aunt and the others have this intention, I don't want any of their money, I let them take it."

gone back."

Zhao Jun smiled and nodded, while Zhao Youcai defended himself and said: "Lan Na, it's really not my fault for what happened today."

As he spoke, Zhao Youcai pointed at the black tiger lying in its nest.

At this time, the black tiger was lying obediently in the den, with its chin resting on one of its front paws. Seeing Zhao Youcai pointing at him, the black tiger raised its head instantly, grinning its teeth and making a "whoosh" sound in protest.

"Look, you still rely on someone else's dog!" Wang Meilan heard the voice and looked back, then pressed Zhao Youcai's hand and asked with a smile: "Did you take that dog out?"

"This..." Zhao Youcai was speechless for a moment. Wang Meilan smiled and patted his shoulder twice, saying: "Don't say anything. You can think about it for yourself. How much damage has your trip caused to our family?"

There wasn't a trace of complaint in this tone, it was just a couple playing with each other.

"What's the loss?" Zhao Youcai clapped his fingers and said, "Look, Lan, don't you make money and lose money on everything? I earned four hundred yesterday, and today... let's spend six hundred to buy one.

That’s awesome.”

After saying that, Zhao Youcai turned his hand and pointed at the door panel and said: "Six hundred yuan for such old meat, are you still losing money?"

"Ha!" After hearing what he said, Wang Meilan sneered, raised her head slightly and said: "Go out and ask, ask, just this year, I, Wang Meilan, have eaten meat. Why did I spend money before? Do I still spend money on meat?"

Zhao Youcai: "..."

Wang Meilan put out the fire for Zhao Youcai with just one word.

Zhao Jun laughed and laughed as he listened. He picked up the piece of beef and said to Wang Meilan: "Mom, if that doesn't work, why don't you find me a basket? I'll put the meat in the basket so that no one can see it."

"Then what will you say when you get there?" Zhao Youcai was still a little worried.

"Oh!" Zhao Jun curled his lips helplessly and said, "What else can you say? Just say I bought it."

"Then don't put the basket in!" Wang Meilan waved her hand and said, "Whose young man is wandering around the village with a basket?"

Zhao Jun laughed when he heard this, went to the warehouse to use pliers to cut off the No. 8 wire of a pulley, came back and used it to tie the piece of meat, held it in his hand, said hello to Wang Meilan and Zhao Youcai, and walked out of the courtyard.

Along the way at Ma Ling's house, Zhao Jun did not rush directly into the house. Instead, he stood outside the courtyard and shouted: "Auntie! Is Auntie at home?"

As soon as Zhao Jun finished speaking, a person appeared behind him. It was Ma Yang who had returned from lunch break for dinner.

"Hey!" Ma Yang raised his chin forward and called Zhao Jun. When Zhao Jun turned around and saw it was him, he laughed angrily and said, "Who are you calling?"

As soon as Zhao Jun finished speaking, the door of Ma's house opened, and Ma Ling appeared in the door, waving outside and saying: "Come in quickly!"

Ma Yang bypassed Zhao Jun and rushed to the door of his house. He saw Ma Ling still waving outside, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

"I'm not going in." Zhao Jun came to the door, handed the wire ring he was carrying to Ma Ling and said, "I'll get you a few kilograms of beef and make some dumplings when I'm done."

After saying this, Zhao Jun added with a smile, "I remember you told me that you would like to eat dumplings stuffed with beef and radish."

As soon as Zhao Jun said this, Ma Ling's big eyes turned into crescent moons in laughter. This fiancé was even holding a lantern and couldn't find him anywhere. He really knows how to hurt people!

"Who is it?" Suddenly, Wang Cuihua's voice came from the back room, and she was heard to say: "Is it Zhao Jun? Come in?"

"Auntie, it's me!" Zhao Jun responded: "I'm not going in, I have to go back quickly!"

Zhao Jun was also afraid of Wang Cuihua. Ma Ling asked him where the beef came from, and then said to Ma Ling: "Hurry up and close the door. The hot air has been released. I will go back now."

"Then please slow down." Ma Ling said with concern in her eyes, "I won't see you off!"

"Yeah!" Zhao Jun smiled at Ma Ling, closed the door for her, then turned and walked home.

But inside the door, as soon as Ma Ling turned around, she saw Ma Yang frowning, grinning, holding his voice and imitating Ma Ling's speech, saying: "Then slow down, I won't send you off!"

After learning what Ma Ling said, Ma Yang raised his chin at her and said, "Send it to him, take it home to him, and he will take it to you when you're done!"
