Rebirth of Bayi Fishing and Hunting in the Northwest

Li Long finally retreated from the pile of rocks. It was too difficult to walk in here, and there were too many rocks. He didn't know which rock might hide a ferocious lynx. If he was scratched by it again, he might not be able to bear it.

After walking out of the pile of rocks, Li Long looked back inside. Although he was a little unwilling, he also knew that with his ability, it was not the right time to catch this thing. When he returned, he would get some clamps and explosives, or make preparations in advance, so that he could do it when the time came.

He was very excited when he came, but a little bored when he left. Li Long felt that he was not capable enough and lacked hunting experience. Otherwise, if he really encountered this kind of thing, he would definitely not be able to escape.

It was already past two o'clock when we walked back to the cabin. The sky, which had been clear for many days, began to have clouds floating in from the west. Soon they turned into dark clouds, and then it started snowing.

Li Long had enough food and meat in his house, so he was not worried. He took advantage of the snow to move the other two wolf heads to the front of the wooden house and built two more wolf head stands. He originally wanted to build a wolf head Jingguan, but he thought better of it because it was too scary.

After freezing the two wolf heads, Li Long returned to the cabin and started to prepare his own lunch. The wild boar bones from yesterday were still there, so he heated up the bone soup with the meat, cut some potatoes, carrots, and a sprout, and waited for the broth to boil for a while. He poked the potatoes with chopsticks and saw that they were rotten, so he scooped a large bowl of it, took the remaining naan from Halimu and the others, soaked it in the soup, and ate it happily.

Not satisfied with one bowl, Li Long ate another one, then cleaned up with satisfaction.

It started snowing lightly outside, but soon the snowflakes grew larger, and the wind started to blow the snowflakes all over the place. Even when you stay in the wooden house, you can hear the whistling wind outside.

Very big and urgent.

There was nothing to do in the house, and Li Long now regretted not bringing the radio with him.

If I had a radio, I could at least listen to a program - but with such heavy snow, I don't know if there would be any signal.

Of course, it was just a thought. Fortunately, he brought a few books with him this time, and Li Long opened a book called "Seven Heroes and Five Gallants" and started reading.

This book was quite popular for a long time in later generations, mainly because the TV series "Justice Bao" was quite popular, which also promoted this novel. After all, "Seven Heroes and Five Gallants" was originally derived from "Three Heroes and Five Gallants", with the Southern Hero Zhan Zhao, the Northern Hero Ouyang Chun, and the two heroes of the Ding family combined into one - when Li Long first heard this novel, he thought the three heroes referred to the Southern Hero, the Northern Hero and the Little Hero Ai Hu, but later he realized that he was wrong.

Naturally, there is no change in the Five Heroes, except that the stories in the TV series are a little different and the ending has also changed. Li Long only vaguely remembers it now.

It was snowing outside and the sky was dim, so Li Long lit the oil lamp and leaned against the head of the bed to read a book.

He had read this book before, but he didn't start reading from the beginning. He flipped through it and started reading from the beginning when he saw the part where Lao Bao recruited Gongsun Ce.

It got dark unknowingly and the wind outside died down. Li Long looked at his watch and realized he had been watching for more than an hour. The air in the room became a little polluted because of the oil lamp. He put the book on the bed, got up, opened the window a little, and planned to take a look outside.

The snow had subsided, the wind had stopped at some point, and the dark clouds seemed not to be so thick. As far as the eye could see, the three wolf head platforms were still bulges, and the pile of wolf entrails could no longer be seen clearly.

Li Long simply opened the window paper a little wider to let the cold wind outside blow in and take away the foul air in the house.

A chill blew over, and Li Long shivered and hid aside. He was not wearing thick clothes, and he couldn't stand the cold wind.

The light from the oil lamp became fluttering because of the cold wind, sometimes longer and sometimes shorter, and the shadows of various things were also changing, which was quite strange.

Even though Li Long was quite brave, he still felt a little uneasy about this.

After a while, the air in the room became fresh. He immediately put down the window paper, covered his hands with his hands, and warmed them in front of the stove.

Feeling a little hungry, but not seriously hungry, Li Long took a steamed bun and cut it into slices. He fixed the stove lid, put a grate on it, rubbed two steamed bun slices together, and rubbed the steamed bread residue into a bowl - otherwise the steamed bread residue on the steamed bun slices would fall on the stove lid and burn after a while, which would be a waste and smell bad.

After he had finished rubbing the bun and put it away, he poured some water into the bowl, shook it, and drank it in one gulp after mixing the crumbs.

Li Long took out another piece of red tofu and put it in the bowl, intending to eat it later.

It's a pity that I didn't make some hot sauce in the summer, otherwise it would be more comfortable to eat now. But in fact, the hot peppers that people grow and can't eat are dried into pepper skins, and few people make sauce. This is too much staple food to eat, and there is not enough oil.

Of course, this is not a problem for the Li family. Not only the chili sauce, Li Long is also thinking about whether to wait until summer to get some meat and make some chili meat sauce. For eating by yourself, you don't need such high quality, as long as it tastes good.

After all, it tastes like home.

When the steamed bread slices were baked, Li Long took them off one by one and placed them on a steamed bun plate made of sorghum stalks. This steamed bun plate made of sorghum stalks has six corners. Liang Yuemei made it in her spare time. It is very practical.

Li Long picked up a piece of steamed bread and dipped it in the red tofu. After finishing it, he felt it was not satisfying enough. After thinking about it, he went to the corner of the room, where there was a small covered basin filled with pickles brought from home.

Pickles cannot come into contact with oil, so Li Long used a pair of clean chopsticks to scoop up a carrot, two cowpeas, a chili pepper, and a Jerusalem artichoke, then covered the basin again.

It is best to eat pickles fried in oil. If you don’t have time to fry them, you can just cut them into shreds and pour hot oil over them.

But Li Long didn't want to do that now. He rinsed the foam on the pickles with warm water, then picked them up directly with chopsticks and ate them with burnt steamed bread slices. It was also very delicious.

The pickles were crisp and refreshing, which whetted Li Long's appetite. Seeing that one steamed bun was not enough, he went to cut the steamed buns, but found that only two were left.

I have to send some noodles.

Li Long cut a steamed bun and put it on the stove to bake. Then he picked up the basin, scooped a bowl of noodles, broke the old noodles into pieces and put them in the basin, then poured water and kneaded the noodles.

While kneading the dough, he would from time to time look at the steamed bread slices on the stove, turn them over, bake them for a while, and then pick them up and put them on the steamed bread plate.

The dough is kneaded and the steamed buns are ready. The next step is to wait for the dough to rise and then steam the buns.

This matter will be dealt with tomorrow.

After Li Long finished eating, he cleaned up the house, put on the stove, filled a teapot with water, and then went out to pee. He saw that the snow had stopped and the clouds in the sky showed signs of dispersing.

I couldn't fall asleep for a while, so I continued reading. After more than an hour, I washed up, turned off the lights and went to bed.

Li Long was awakened by thirst in the middle of the night. The only bad thing about pickles is that they waste water. After he got up, he took a teapot from the stove and poured a bowl of water without turning on the light. He drank it all in big gulps, but it was not enough. He drank another bowl, and then he felt better and lay down to continue sleeping.

However, he had not slept for long before he was woken up by the urge to pee. It was still not very bright outside and he looked at the clock. It was a little after six o'clock. Li Long didn't really want to pee, but his bladder couldn't take it, so he had to get up and go outside to pee.

Knowing it was very cold outside, Li Long put on his pants and coat, opened the door and walked out.

He walked out of the wooden floor. Of course he couldn't pee in the yard, so he turned a corner and came to the north side of the wooden house. Just when he was about to pee, he heard a fluttering sound not far away. Li Long turned his head and saw a black thing jumping hard on the wolf head platform!

Li Long was so scared that he almost held back his urine, but peeing was more important at this time. He took another look and saw that the thing was smaller than a wolf. Could it be the unlucky fox again?

Li Long peed for more than a minute before he finished. He shook it with satisfaction, put it away and tied his pants. He planned to go over and see what that thing was.

But no matter what it was, Li Long was not going to let it go - the same thing for the fox. After all, he had let it go once, and if it dared to come again, it would really be a sign of disrespect. When he got closer, Li Long was shocked - wasn't this the lynx he had encountered during the day? Why did this guy come again?

Looking at the traces on the snow, Li Long understood a little bit - this guy came to steal food again.

Maybe they felt it was inconvenient to hunt in this heavy snow, so they came here to eat a cheap meal?
Poor thing, when it was digging through the snow to eat the wolf's internal organs, it accidentally dug through the wire snare and was trapped.

The firewood tied to the wire sleeve was frozen solid at this moment. Even though the lynx was stronger than the fox, it was unable to break free for a while.

But it's hard to say after a long time. After all, it's just a few thin wires twisted together. Li Long is basically certain that as long as he doesn't find out, this guy will be able to break the thin wires by himself and escape before dawn!

Seeing Li Long approaching, the lynx bared its fangs threateningly, lowered its body, and prepared to pounce at any time, which made Li Long cautious. This guy is quite fierce!

He hurriedly turned around and ran into the house, picked up the 56-mm rifle, opened the safety and loaded the bullet into the chamber while running.

When the lynx saw Li Long taking out his weapon, it suddenly became a little anxious and struggled desperately, scratching with its claws, biting with its teeth, and pulling hard, trying to get rid of the wire noose.

Li Long rushed forward, almost putting the gun to the lynx's head, and pulled the trigger when it was about to pounce!

The ferocious cat was killed by Li Long's gun.

Blood spurted out of the two bloody holes in his head, and his body fell to the ground, not moving anymore.

Li Long stepped forward and kicked it. Seeing that the lynx was dead, Li Long looked around and didn't find anything else, so he bent down to untie the cover. He didn't expect that this thing could still hold something. What luck!
Holding the lynx in his left hand and the gun in his right hand, Li Long happily returned to the wooden house.

I am no longer sleepy. This lynx skin is much more valuable than wolf skin. I have never eaten lynx meat, so I will take a good look at it today.

Li Long took the teapot off the stove, lit the oil lamp, added coal to the stove, put a pot on to boil water, then took out his knife and started to deal with the lynx.

Lynx has golden fur, and is smaller than a wolf but larger than a fox. Even dead, it looks very ferocious. Li Long hesitated with the knife in his hand, and was actually a little excited and hesitant to do it.

This isn't just deerskin or wolf skin worth a few dozen bucks, it's worth hundreds of bucks! If you don't peel it well, you'll lose a lot of money.

I laughed again when I thought about it. How ignorant! After all, I am now a millionaire. Why do I still have this worry?

peel!
I habitually use a knife to cut a cut at the joint of the lynx's right hind leg, remove the lynx's calf, then point the blade upward, lift the skin of the right hind thigh, and cut towards the groin, and the skin will be easily separated.

It is best to have two people to skin the animal. One person pulls the legs and stretches the muscles, which makes it easier for the other person to skin the animal. It is not easy for one person to use enough strength, so if you are not an experienced person, the skin will be easily torn.

Fortunately, Li Long is used to it. He always does it himself, so one more person is not a big deal.

Peel off the skin of the hind legs, then cut a line at the abdomen and chest, and peel the skin to both sides. Be careful at the beginning, don't take the meat, and don't cut it. When the skin is peeled off, you can pull the skin with one hand and cut it down with the other hand. Experienced people don't need to be careful at all, they can skillfully cut between the skin and flesh while pulling the skin, and soon a large piece will be peeled off.

Li Long is such an experienced worker. He is nervous before peeling the fruits, but he doesn't care about anything while peeling them.

It's just a piece of leather.

Even though I got it by luck, it's still my own achievement, isn't it?
The whole skin was peeled off without any problem. After Li Long smeared salt on it, he stretched it out and looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction. Hmm, not bad.

The next step is to open the body.

Li Long had never eaten lynx's internal organs before, so he had no intention of eating them - and he didn't know if he could eat them.

Of course, the meat should be fine. After Li Long opened the wolf's stomach, he put all the internal organs into a basin, then opened the door and poured all the internal organs of the thing into the place where the wolf's internal organs were originally.

After putting all the condoms in place, Li Long thought this method was actually pretty good. It was quite effective in attracting animals!

The lynx meat was cut and placed in the small room one by one. Li Long saw that the sky in the east was already turning pale.

It is impossible to sleep. Wash your hands. The dough has risen and you can steam the buns.

What a hard life!
Li Long first cleaned the house, wiped the blood spots on the floor, and then began to knead dough to steam buns.

Also keep a piece of dough for steaming buns next time.

After kneading the buns, putting them in the steamer and watching the time, Li Long continued to clean the house.

The door was open, and the bloody smell came out, making the room cleaner. Then the snow was cleared off the wooden floor at the door.

The snow was more than ten centimeters thick, but we were not prepared because the wind was quite strong last night. The snow was thick in some places and thin in other places.

It would be troublesome to go out of the mountains, but in this weather, hunting after daybreak should be more convenient.

If it snows in the village, it would be a good weather for chasing rabbits.

Li Long was thinking wildly while sweeping the snow. He swept the snow on three sides of the wooden house, and cleared a path to the spring before coming back.

The sky gradually brightened, a red light appeared in the east, and the sun was about to rise. Li Long went to fetch two buckets of water, and when he came back, the freshly steamed buns were ready.

Everyone has different skills. Li Long can steam buns and learn quickly, but it took him a long time to learn to make noodles. He is not very good at steaming rice in a pot.

The steamed buns were big, white, and fluffy. They looked and felt good, and tasted good. Although he didn't use much alkaline flour, the steamed buns made with this flour smelled very fragrant.

Take the steamed buns out one by one and put them on the table, then scrub the cage and pour out the water in the pot and wash it clean, then breakfast will be easier to prepare.

First, I scooped out the pickles, rinsed them with water, and cut them into shreds. Then I went to the small room and got a small piece of lynx meat.

The meat was not frozen hard yet, so it was just right to cut. After cutting, I fried it directly in the pan - pickled vegetables and meat, with fresh steamed buns, it felt so good!
Of course, you should also add a bowl of cornmeal porridge, which is absolutely delicious.

If there is a salted duck egg, full marks.

Now it works too.

If Gu Xiaoxia was also here, it would be perfect. (End of this chapter)
