Yang Fan tied his cotton-padded clothes around his waist, and like the Tibetans, he raised his arms and chopped down the tree stump.
He's figured out the trick. The little girls carried the chopped wood pieces to him. A wall of firewood has been piled on the wall of the courtyard next to it. They are all one foot long and ten centimeters square.
The more Yang Fan chops, the more he feels, and the more he chops, the more regular he becomes.
Yang Fan discovered that chopping firewood is also a happy thing. Special decompression. Just very tired.
Xiao Niangpi and the others were instructing the servants to deal with the bear's paws and the bear's carcass. Chef Yang Fan doesn't know how to do these things. Only when everything is done, he will go back to Shi Shiran to make white braised bear paws.
After the bearskin is processed, it can be spread on the floor.
Spread on the floor between the sofas, it has a better surface than carpet.
Xiao Niangpi and the others have already discussed that the black bear skin obtained in Mongolia last time and the brown bear skin obtained this time can be placed on the floor in front of the bed in the bedroom. You can go to bed barefoot and on soft bearskin.
There is also a sheet on the floor of Ningxiang Xiaozhu. In this way, their little feet will be warm, flexible and comfortable when they step on it in winter. In winter, you can sit cross-legged in Ningxiang Xiaozhu and eat hotpot without getting cold. Bearskin is super warm, insulating and moisture-proof. It's even better than the gray wolf skin from the prairie.
Bear meat can replenish deficiency and strengthen muscles and bones. Cure athlete's foot, wind paralysis, inability to follow the hands and feet, and spasm of muscles and pulses. Tonify the body and replenish qi, moisturize the skin and strengthen the muscles. It is a more suitable supplement for girls like Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru who practice martial arts. Not only tonic but also beautifying.
Yang Fan looked back and saw that the two of them used sharp Damascus steel daggers to break open the bear's belly and were searching for the bear's bile. There was still blood on Lin Yueru's face, so she didn't bother to wipe it off, and looked around intently.
Bear bile can be used as medicine. For warriors, its greatest effect is to relieve muscle spasms.
After a while, the little girl cheered, "Found it."
A moist gallbladder was lifted out with her little hands. They had already done it once in the grassland last time, and they were familiar with it this time.
The surface of bear bile appears gray-black or brown-black, shiny, wrinkled, and has a thin skin. When viewed against the light, the upper part is often translucent. The texture is hard, and after breaking, the cross section is fibrous.
The sac contains dried bile, commonly known as "gall kernel", which is in the form of lumps, granules, powder or thick paste.
The gall kernels are shiny and come in different colors. They are golden yellow, transparent and bright like amber, crispy in texture, and taste bitter but sweet at the same time. They are commonly called "golden gall" or "copper gall".
Those that are black, hard and brittle or in the form of thick paste are commonly called "ink gall" or "iron gall".
Those that are yellow-green, less bright and brittle are commonly called "cauliflower gallbladders".
The bear bile gas has a slight fragrance or fishy taste, melts in the mouth, is extremely bitter, cool and does not stick to the teeth. The best ones are big, golden-yellow and bright, with a bitter-sweet taste.
Obviously, what Xiao Niangpi and the others took out was a gold bladder.
Bear's paw is difficult to endure and there are many processes, although there are many people busy with it. Once this dish is ready, it can only be used as a midnight snack. Yang Fan went to open the wild beehive first and took out some honey. Got a taste. He nodded with satisfaction, it was so delicious.
"Master, why is this honey white and sandy? Can it be eaten?" Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru asked with drooling eyes.
"This is linden tree honey. You have never seen it. It is a specialty only found in the Heilongjiang River Basin in the Northeast and the Daxinganling and Xiaoxinganling mountains. This stuff becomes milky white after freezing and solidifying. It is sandy because of its high sugar content. This is really good stuff. . After a while, cut a piece of honeycomb and put it on the bear's paw. The steamed bear's paw will be very delicious."
Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru almost cried when they heard this. He kept urging Yang Fan to do it quickly. Yang Fan could only smile bitterly, bear's paw, wait for a while. It’s too late to eat this dish.
Yang Fan was cooking for his wives. The leaders also went crazy playing in Shuangchengzi. They never knew that life could be so happy.
There are many good things in the Jurchen area of the East China Sea, such as alluvial gold, Dongzhu, ginseng, deer antlers, mink skins, salmon roe, Hericium erinaceus, golden birch bark... but they have no way to cash them in. They can only hold onto the golden rice bowl and beg for food.
And the only one who has the ability to consume these is Daming.
They went shopping and found that the things they brought could be sold at a good price here, several times better than the prices offered by the miserly people in Jianzhou. But there are too many products here, most of which they have never heard of.
They were told that the shops here only accepted banknotes. The goods they brought needed to be sold first to obtain banknotes, and then they could buy the supplies they wanted to buy.
The men flocked to buy drinks. The spirits here are all 60 degrees, and when you drink them, it feels like your entire esophagus and stomach are on fire. This feeling is so exciting, so manly, this is what men drink.
Compared with the chewing wine that women used to chew, that one is simply what women drink. This is the kind of hard liquor men should drink.
The kebabs here are grilled sizzling with oil, sprinkled with chili powder and cumin powder, plus spices and refined salt. They almost didn't swallow their tongues. They were hooked the first time they ate it.
The city has four gates, and on the high ground in the center is a stone-walled mansion, which houses Yang Fan's residence and local government offices. The cross streets outside are full of shops. There are restaurants, pubs, and various shops. There are people selling clothes, furs, ironware... everything except those selling food.
What they liked most was actually a large bathhouse in the city. This is a hot spring hotel. You can both bathe and stay.
At first, they were resistant to soaking away the oil and mud on their bodies, but after getting super warm clothes like cotton clothes and pants. There was no need for them to smear lard to keep them warm.
They took a hot bath and felt comfortable. Everyone rubbed off a few kilograms of mud. The jjim and sauna also won them over.
This bathhouse is divided into men and women. The female head Xiwenna and dozens of other female heads also came to the bathhouse to take a bath. They are all young women in their twenties and thirties. Although they are very strong, they also have a love for beauty.
After being rubbed and bathed by the thick savage woman here, their snow-white skin was exposed.
A pure Jurchen girl has fair skin. And he is very tall and has a good figure. If girls from the Northeast are on point, their figure and face will be really wow, they are so beautiful.
They were doing steaming and drinking black tea. They feel that half of their lives have been wasted. Or will these Han people enjoy it? Otherwise, Ming Dynasty would be the Kingdom of Heaven.
At this time, the East China Sea Jurchens were part of the Savage Jurchens. But they are relatively civilized. It's so much better to be fucked by a girl from Beishan. A large part of them still belong to the matriarchal tribal era. Therefore, there are also many female-headed people. There are at least thirty female-headed people.
Xiwenna sighed and said: "This twin city is really a gold-selling cave. I brought a bag of alluvial gold, and it was all bottomed out in one day."
Her sister Luna said: "But sister, you bought a lot of useful things. Axes, saws, steel knives, cotton clothes and pants, felt boots, dog-skin hats and sheepskin gloves, they are all good things. Several restaurants we ate at also It’s so delicious, and it also has strong alcohol, which is my favorite.”
Other female-headed people also echoed. Xiwenna sighed in her heart. It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. I can't stand the temptation of these enjoyments, let alone others. The Ming Dynasty has these things, and the East China Sea Nuzhen will really surrender to the Ming Dynasty from now on.
