Gao Mingcheng also took two bowls of bear meat and walked towards the old village.
He first went to Grandma Xi's house and gave small portions to Grandma Xi and them, and then went to his parents' house, because he couldn't let his parents see him giving it to Grandma Xi, otherwise he would have to make irresponsible remarks. bother.
Entering the yard, Gao Mingcheng smelled the aroma of wine. It turned out that his father was steaming wine.
In the corner of the yard, an earthen stove was set up. His father usually steamed wine on this stove. Millet was used to steam wine. The millet produced at home was not enough, so Gao Yuanyan often bought millet from other people in the village.
But if someone asks him to steam wine, then he is not responsible for producing the millet, but only provides the technology and labor for steaming wine.
As the son of Gao Yuanyuan, although Gao Mingcheng has not systematically learned how to steam wine, he is actually somewhat good at it. He just doesn't know how to mix the wine with the medicine. If the wine is mixed with too much medicine or too little, it will not work.
Gao Yuan is experienced and has little waste. He started steaming wine as early as sixty years ago. However, there was too little food at that time, and there was a shortage of food in the city and countryside. Therefore, the brigade was not allowed to steam wine, so Gao Yuan steamed wine. All the drinking utensils were confiscated.
It was not until seven years ago that food became less scarce that Gao Yuan began to steam wine again. After the fields were distributed to each household, Gao Yuan began to steam wine in large quantities. It was at this time that the family gained more income from steaming wine. , Only then did he have the money to buy the old house where Gao Mingpeng lives now.
"dad."
Gao Mingcheng shouted, and Gao Yuan responded. He only glanced at him casually, and then focused on steaming the wine again. Now the wine has begun to come out, but he also needs to control the heat and get the top one in time. Add cold water to the recess to achieve the purpose of producing wine.
Gao Mingcheng remembered that his mother loved steamed wine in winter. Whenever the wine was steamed, his mother would wash clothes next to him and wash them with hot water scooped out by the steamed wine so that his hands would not get too cold.
Many Mei spent a lot of time preparing bear meat, so when Gao Mingcheng arrived here, his parents had already eaten.
But when they saw him coming with a big bowl full of meat, everyone still looked at him expectantly.
Luo Xiaohua smiled and took the big bowl of meat and asked, "What kind of meat is this? Did you go into the mountains to hunt something again?"
"Well, you can eat it while it's hot!" Gao Mingcheng responded vaguely, without saying what kind of meat it was.
So everyone came to share the meat. Before dividing the meat, Luo Xiaohua left a few pieces for Gao Yuan and shared the rest with everyone.
Because many beauties are not processed well enough, the bear meat is a bit fishy and greasy, but Luo Xiaohua and others do not dislike this greasy taste, because their stomachs are short of oil and water all year round and they like to eat greasy things.
Grandma Gao ate two small pieces of the worst stewed meat and then stopped eating. She is the oldest and has the highest seniority, but she will not rely on her seniority to occupy more resources. On the contrary, she is reluctant to eat it herself and wants to give it to the younger generations in the family.
In the words of later generations, Grandma Gao was a dedicated personality.
In fact, this kind of personality seems to be quite common in this era. The same is true for the mistress, and almost all the elders in other families are like this. Only a few people are particularly selfish and domineering, relying on their seniority to seize more resources in the family, and they will also make troubles. children and grandchildren.
Well, especially torturing my daughter-in-law!
While eating meat, Gao Mingpeng suddenly said something that made Gao Mingcheng particularly concerned. He said: "When I was working at the construction site in the town, I heard someone saying that there are black bears in our county! Dad, did we have black bears here before? ?”
Gao Yuanyuan sat in front of the stove, eating meat and watching the progress of steaming wine. He said casually: "There were still some in the past five years, but then there were almost none in the seventies. At that time, there were many people with guns. Go into the mountains to hunt black bears and kill them all!"
"Anyway, I haven't heard of any black bears here in the past ten years."
Gao Mingpeng spat out the bones in his mouth and continued: "Well, I heard that some people want to go into the mountains to hunt black bears now! It is said that someone shot a black bear in the mountains and sent it to the county. Now those people also I want to go into the mountains and hunt black bears.”
Gao Mingcheng, who was standing aside, interrupted and said, "Who want to enter the mountain? Do they bring guns? Which mountain did they enter?"
Gao Mingpeng thought that Gao Mingcheng also wanted to go into the mountains to hunt bears, so he quickly said: "Second brother, you can get a few wild boars in the mountains, which is already good. Don't even think about going into the mountains to hunt bears. I heard that black bears He’s very strong and can eat people!”
Gao Mingcheng looked at the meat in Gao Mingpeng's bowl and remained suspiciously silent for a while.
Fortunately, Gao Mingpeng continued: "I also heard what others said. I don't know exactly who is going into the mountains to hunt bears and which mountain they go to."
Knowing that nothing could be gained by asking, Gao Mingcheng simply stopped asking.
It's just that he felt a little melancholy in his heart. He only got the black bear yesterday morning and sent it to the county in the evening. But the next day, someone took notice of it and took action!
Thinking back to Gao Guobing's instructions, Gao Mingcheng understood a little bit. The news about bears in the mountains may have been passed on by those units that were allocated bear meat. Maybe the people who went into the mountains to hunt bears were also related to them.
Therefore, Gao Guobing said that no matter where those people went to hunt bears, they could not enter the mountains of Gaojiacun to hunt bears.
Gao Guobing was born in Gaojia Village, and by default Gaojia Village was his territory. It was fine for people in his village to get black bears, but he couldn't let people from other places go into the mountains to get bears.
This is actually similar to a sense of territoriality.
Gao Mingcheng agreed very much with this. He also regarded several mountains near Gaojiacun as his hunting grounds and did not allow others to infringe on his territory!
In this case, during this period, he should be more diligent and patrol the mountains.
Once outsiders are discovered, they must be driven away.
Gao Mingcheng left without saying a few words, but instead of going home, he ran quickly on the country road.
Although it was already dark, he still decided to go to the blacksmith's house.
Since it was dark and it was difficult to ride a bicycle, and he could run even faster than a bicycle, he did not go back to ride a bicycle. He just ran all the way to the blacksmith's house.
This blacksmith lives in isolation, because the sound of blacksmithing is relatively noisy, and the blacksmith shop cannot be opened in the center of a densely populated village.
Next to the simple iron-making furnace, three small houses were built, in which the blacksmith's family of four lived.
"Old Li, I'm here to fight with you!" The iron-making furnace was dark, but the room next to it was illuminated by candlelight.
Gao Mingcheng did not go in, but stood outside and said hello loudly.
His javelin and several knives were made by blacksmith Lao Li, and the forging craftsmanship was really good.
"It's Gao Mingcheng. What kind of knife do you want to use? A kitchen knife or a small sharp knife like last time?" Lao Li is a strong man in his forties. He is shirtless and has thin muscles on his chest and arms. bulge.
"Twenty small sharp knives! The handles don't need to be too fine, the blades just need to be sharp enough." Gao Mingcheng said.
He plans to practice Xiao Li's flying knife!
Old Li forged the flying knife, and he worked hard to practice Xiao Li's flying knife skills, and defended his territory to the death!
