Gao Mingcheng frowned. He looked at the sky and saw that it was already about eleven o'clock. Logically speaking, the group should have already entered the mountain by this time.
He was a little worried, so he said to Gao Zhuang: "Okay, you continue to stay at the foot of the mountain, and I will go into the mountain to have a look."
The entire Niuwei Ridge is extremely vast, and it is not easy to find people in the mountains. However, Gao Mingcheng knew the location of the ancient tomb in advance, and his eyesight was enhanced. Even in the mountain forest with lush vegetation, It can also accurately detect target objects.
He ran all the way into the mountain at an extremely fast speed, but the movement in the mountain was relatively small. His feet stepped on the dead branches and leaves, making a thin sound, just like a small beast passing by.
Soon, relying on his familiarity with the terrain, Gao Mingcheng could already see the three people climbing the mountain from a distance.
After seeing their figures, Gao Mingcheng breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that some things were the same in the past life and would still be the same in this life, but it would never go wrong to plan ahead.
After confirming that the three people had entered the mountain, Gao Mingcheng was no longer in a hurry. He did not get closer, but only watched from a distance.
It is not an easy task to find out the specific location of the ancient tomb. Even tomb robbers will need to spend a day or two. In the previous life, this group of people only determined the location tomorrow morning and prepared to dig the tomb. of.
Gao Mingcheng plans to give this credit to Gao Guobing, so it's best to let Gao Guobing bring someone to catch him!
Otherwise, some things will be difficult to explain!
It was almost noon, and the father and son began to bring out water and dry food, and sat in the shade of the tree to eat.
Gao Mingcheng watched from a distance and felt hungry. He expected that the three of them would have to wait until tomorrow to determine the location of the ancient tomb and start digging the tomb, just like in the previous life, so he went down the mountain.
Gao Zhuang was still waiting at the foot of the mountain. When he saw Gao Mingcheng coming down the mountain quickly, he immediately went up to meet him and asked curiously: "Is there anyone in the mountain?"
Gao Mingcheng nodded, Gao Zhuang let out a sigh, and then his face became full of annoyance.
He tried desperately to explain, "But... I really didn't see anyone entering the mountain! These people are too ghostly!"
Immediately, he seemed to have thought of something, and immediately felt guilty and did not dare to look at Gao Mingcheng anymore.
Gao Mingcheng did not blame Gao Zhuang, but comforted him: "That group of people will definitely be careful when doing this kind of business. Niuweiling is so big, you can't keep an eye on them all. Okay, let's go home. Have a meal!"
Gao Zhuang was stunned, "Just go home to eat? Don't you care about those people?"
Gao Mingcheng smiled and said: "Oh, don't you still care about their lunch? Let's go, I have my own arrangements."
"Oh." Gao Zhuang responded obediently. He still felt guilty at the moment. Although he was here at Niuweiling, his mind was focused on how to catch rabbits, so he didn't even know someone had entered the mountain.
Finally, Brother Cheng asked him to do something, but he didn't do it well, which made him feel quite uncomfortable.
I returned home wilfully, and as soon as I got home, I smelled an alluring aroma of vegetables.
Gao Zhuang's stomach immediately made a growling sound. He couldn't help but ran straight to the kitchen, shouting: "Grandma, what are you cooking?"
"Ah! There is meat to eat! Brother Mingcheng, you bought meat!"
There was a loud shouting sound coming from the kitchen. Gao Mingcheng did not go over to join in the fun, but picked up the hare he got in the morning.
He didn't take the rabbit to the market to sell, he just wanted to keep it for himself.
Since getting the gold foil paper and meditating every night, his physical fitness has improved, but at the same time, he also needs to eat nutritious food to ensure that his blood is sufficient.
There are two ways to deal with rabbits, one is skinning directly, and the other is scalding and plucking. However, because rabbits are not as easy to pluck as chickens and ducks, and the scalding water temperature is also very particular, some hairs are not easy to pluck out, so Gao Mingcheng was afraid of trouble and simply peeled them.
He used a knife to cut the rabbit's two hind legs in a circle 1-2 inches away from the feet, and then cut from the opening along the inner thigh to the crotch, and made the two tangent lines meet to remove the rabbit skin from the thigh. Begin to carefully peel away from the rabbit meat. During this process, do not use too much force to avoid tearing. If the skin and flesh are entangled, you can use a sharp knife to carefully peel it apart.
At this time, the rabbit skin is like a tube, with one end open. Peel it to the front legs, just like the hind legs. Turn the skin 1 inch away from the front feet and cut the skin open, so that the front legs can be withdrawn from the tube.
After the entire leather tube is peeled off, the leather tube can be cut from the chest into a single piece of leather.
If the hare's fur is of good quality, then the rabbit skin does not need to be thrown away. Instead, it is turned upside down on a wooden board and placed in a cool place to dry. Then it can be sold to a fur tanning workshop and you can get some money.
In early autumn, rabbits eat oily and smooth food, so their fur is very good. Gao Mingcheng cut off the excess fat from the rabbit skin, then spread it on an old door panel and placed it in the utility room to dry in the shade.
After the rabbit skin was processed, he chopped off the furry rabbit feet and cleaned the rabbit head.
His swordsmanship was sharp, and he could handle it very smoothly and very quickly.
As soon as he finished taking care of it, he heard the voice of the young lady calling him to eat.
"Mingcheng, it's time to eat."
"Oh." Gao Mingcheng responded and walked into the kitchen carrying the skinned rabbit.
"Grandma, you cooked this rabbit tonight! Hey, why do you still have half of the pork left without frying?" Gao Mingcheng frowned when he saw that there was about half a catty of pork on the plate.
Grandma Xi explained: "You should also send some of the pork you bought to your house. It's not easy for your father and your brothers to work on the railway, so they need to eat something good."
Gao Mingcheng didn't think about this, but Grandma Xi had thought of it for him, and he appreciated it. Okay, that's it. Anyway, we still have rabbit meat to eat at night.
Today, Grandma Xi made three stir-fried dishes, one stir-fried pork with chili, one stir-fried bitter gourd, and one steamed eggplant.
In addition to these three dishes, there are also fried dough sticks and steamed buns that Gao Mingcheng bought at the market.
Gao Mingcheng persuaded Grandma Xi and Gao Zhuang to eat fried dough sticks, saying: "You guys eat them, I've eaten two of them before."
"Hey, okay. I haven't eaten fried dough sticks for a long time! I'll go to the market next time!" Gao Zhuang took a fried dough stick and ate it happily.
Grandma X also ate, but before eating, she divided a fried dough stick into two halves, handed half of the fried dough stick to Gao Mingcheng, and said, "I just need to taste it. If I eat too much of this kind of thing, I will easily get angry."
"Don't be afraid of getting angry, just eat more bitter melon." Gao Mingcheng answered with a smile. In fact, bitter melon is also quite delicious. Although it is slightly bitter, eating some bitter melon in the hot weather will make your whole body feel comfortable. .
After lunch, Gao Mingcheng was not going to be idle, but planned to continue into the mountains to get wild honey.
Their village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there are a lot of honeycombs in the mountains. He plans to get more and then take them to the county town to sell them together.
This time he took the knife and bucket from Grandma Xi's house and went to the mountains.
