Yi Niang is very scared, she is very afraid of losing her loved ones again. Since she was a child, the world has been cold and warm, and she has experienced the miserable time of being helpless, barking every day, fighting for food with wild dogs, and even almost being used as food by wild dogs.
It's not that she's afraid of death, since death would be the end of the world, it's just that she's afraid of being alone. She longed for a stable home, where her husband would work from sunrise to sunset, while she would be at home, taking care of household chores. Men would farm and women would weave. When he came back, she would bring him a bowl of hot rice and hand him a basin. Hot water. Have a few babies and quietly enjoy family happiness.
I don’t know if I was too greedy or didn’t respect God. The bad luck came so suddenly. A good person went into the mountains. When he came back, he asked people to carry him back. All the bones in his body were broken and he was very angry. No more, at that moment my world suddenly turned black.
Fortunately, good people are favored by God, and everything miraculously returns to its original days, and seems to have gotten better. The third brother's injury healed quickly, and his head even became brighter!
Yi Niang really didn't want Liang Chuan to go into the calabash mountain where he suffered again, but she understood that she was his wife and she couldn't ask him to behave like that. Men belong to the outside world and should make their way in the outside world. It's not like being tied to your home, it's like recruiting younger brothers and sisters.
The sky was getting darker and darker, the sun was completely invisible, but the two people still disappeared and came back.
Yi Niang stood in the cold wind and let the north wind mess up her hair. Her hand was holding the firewood door tightly, and her palm was about to bleed.
Her heart grew colder and colder. . Are there any dangers in the mountains? .
From a distance, Liang Chuan and Zhao Di came back carrying two bamboos, chatting and laughing. Although it was dark and it was difficult to see their faces clearly, Yi Niang's blood pressure rose as soon as she rubbed them, and she felt a little dizzy!
You can still laugh! Mom, I'm worried about you at home. I'm almost scared out of my mind. Wherever you two damn ghosts go to have fun and have fun, you can still laugh!
The more Yi Niang thought about it, the angrier she became. Her pink fists were clenched tightly, her almond-shaped eyes were wide open, as if fire was about to burst out of her eyes. But the two elders didn't notice at all, and they had the nerve to ask: "Hey, it's such a cold day, Yi Niang, why don't you go inside, why are you staying outside!"
Yi Niang was so angry that her body kept trembling. You two are so heartless. How dare you ask me why I am staying outside? Yi Niang was about to have a seizure when Zhaodi said, "We just encountered a big insect in the mountains!"
Big bug?
When Yi Niang heard this, she was extremely anxious, but she didn't expect that they were really in danger. Tears as big as beans began to flow from her red eyes, and she covered her mouth with her little hands and started crying.
Seeing why Yi Niang suddenly started crying, Liang Chuan quickly put the bamboo away and came over and asked: "Yi Niang, why are you crying? Didn't we come back well?"
Yi Niang squatted on the ground and cried uncontrollably, no matter how hard Liang Chuan tried to persuade her. Zhaodi is a free-spirited person, but he is used to being free. He takes a very open-minded view of everything and goes to fiddle with his tools on his own. The tools were all put into the house, but the artist outside was still sobbing. Zhaodi said bravely: "Third brother, what should I do with this big rat?" After saying that, he held the big bamboo rat in his hand and shook it towards Liang Chuan. .
Furry animals such as rats have always been the natural enemy of women, especially this huge rat weighing about three to four pounds! He is simply a young breast killer, and he is always accurate with every move he makes. Yi Niang, who was still crying, was so frightened by the big rat that she screamed and hid directly in Liang Chuan's arms.
Liang Chuan hugged Yi Niang and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, this is bamboo rat. It tastes good! I'll make it for you to try later."
Yi Niang's scalp went numb when she heard that, and she was so anxious that she slapped Liang Chuan's chest with her hand and said, "Who wants to eat that dirty thing? It's so disgusting!"
Brother Zhao looked on with amusement and followed suit: "That's right, I heard that some people ate this thing before when they were fleeing from drought. Now there are no natural disasters and no one is in trouble. It's not a mistake to eat rats, right?"
"Okay, don't eat it, especially you kid. What do you know? If you take a bite, I will smash all your teeth."
"Okay, don't be poor. Just come back safely. I'll go in and make you something to eat. Today is the winter solstice. We're not a big family, but we still need to eat something decent. You're in for a treat today."
Yi Niang went into the house and went to the corner. Zhao Di was a glutton and followed him in. Liang Chuan kept saying that Yi Niang wanted to make delicious food. He had been hungry all day and couldn't wait to know what to expect in the evening. food.
After both of them went in, Liang Chuan took the fat bamboo rat and prepared to cook it.
The charcoal produced in the afternoon was very good. Each piece was large and dark, plump and stylish, and did not feel broken into slag. The quality was quite good. The charcoal on the ground was cleaned up by Yi Niang, leaving no charcoal residue. Yi Niang is really a good woman. She understands that life is not easy. Even if a little charcoal residue can be sold for more money, it is still a profit. She None of it will be wasted.
Liang Chuan felt warm in his heart when he looked at it. He originally wanted to get some charcoal to roast the bamboo rat, but after thinking about it, he might as well keep the charcoal and sell it. He could make a little more and the three of them would have something to eat later. That would be business.
There was combustible firewood all around in the fields. Although it was best to use charcoal for grilling, it was almost the same. He picked up some hay branches and made do with it.
Liang Chuan pulled some firewood that was burning vigorously on the stove and put it in the yard to start the barbecue. He also put in a few sticks of firewood that were not easy to burn charcoal. These ordinary artists used them for cooking. The fire started all of a sudden. It is not suitable to barbecue with open flames. The meat must be grilled over charcoal fire and cooked slowly. Otherwise, the meat will be burnt and such good ingredients will be ruined.
The bamboo rat is not dead yet, but it also knows that death is not far away, and it is shivering listlessly. "Brother Bamboo Rat, you can go with peace of mind and sacrifice your life as a rat to benefit the Five Zang Temple!"
Liang Chuan muttered to himself to the bamboo rat, and after speaking, he broke the bamboo rat's neck with force, and the bamboo rat finally walked away peacefully. Liang Chuan opened the belly of the bamboo rat, peeled off the entire rat skin, put it aside, and then chopped it with a chopper, and the entire rat head was cut off flatly. There is only a piece of fat and greasy meat left. It's really hard for you to grow such a good body despite being a vegetarian every day and eating something as difficult to digest as bamboo! After cutting open the belly and cleaning out the internal organs, Liang Chuan cut a slender wooden skewer and passed the skewer across the spine. The entire piece of rat meat, about three to four kilograms, was skewered on the bamboo skewer. .
The surface of the rat meat was still covered with blood. Liang Chuan wanted to wash it with clean water, but there was no running water at this time. The problem of drinking water and domestic water was also a problem that had to be faced in life. He would have to find a way to solve it in the future.
Forget it without washing, Liang Chuan went into the house to ask for some salt and soy sauce from Yi Niang, and rinsed it with water from the water tank. Lin Yi knew that what Liang Chuan was holding was the big rat. The skin was even peeled off when she saw it. Her scalp was numb with nausea, and she hurriedly blasted Liang Chuan out. She felt really uncomfortable looking at the bloody thing.
Liang Chuan took salt and spread it evenly on the rat meat, and then spread a little bit of soy sauce on the rat meat. After applying salt, it is ready to be grilled.
Two "Y"-shaped branches were inserted on the ground. Liang Chuan placed the meat skewers horizontally on the branches. The tongues of fire below danced happily. The temperature of the charcoal fire spread up and melted the salt smeared on the surface of the rat meat, making it crystal white. After the salt particles melt away, it turns into salt water, which flows everywhere along the rat meat, drips down and falls on the charcoal fire, making a chirping sound, making the flames beat more joyfully!
Many of the firewood branches are pine, and the pine wood itself has a lot of rosin. The flames crackle and pop from time to time, making the quiet night seem full of life. Under the roasting of charcoal fire, the color of the rat meat begins to darken from its initial blood red color, and the fat on the surface of the meat slowly begins to seep out. The fat drips onto the flames, causing the flames to spread very high. The smell of rat meat is even more tempting than the smell of beggar's chicken last time. The rich smell of meat is wafting around, and the recruits in the room are immediately attracted!
"Brother, it's so cold outside the house. What are you doing? You're sweating profusely!" Zhaodi's nose is as good as a black nose. The moment he smelled the meaty aroma, it was better than the beggar's chicken cooked by the third brother last time. It smelled so good that my saliva was dripping down, and my stomach felt like thunder. I swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, licked my face and walked to Liang Chuan.
"You brat, aren't you helping the entertainer in the house? Let me tell you, you think rats are disgusting and have promised not to eat them. If you take one bite of this rat meat, I will knock out all your teeth. !" Liang Chuan deliberately tried to seduce Brother Zhao, without even looking at Brother Zhao, and even pretended to be angry.
Poor Zhaodi was so honest and honest, his heart was pounding, his mouth was full of greed, his eyes were staring at where he could get his hands in, and when he saw that only red and white charcoal was left on the firewood below, he immediately called out enthusiastically : "Third brother, this firewood isn't enough. I'll get you some!"
Liang Chuan saw the little thoughts of the younger brother like a mirror and said: "Okay, stop making trouble for me. Go and ask the artist in the house for a little salt, not too much!"
When the younger brother Zhao saw that he was of some use, and that the third older brother was willing to use him, he felt very happy. His legs and feet were very nimble and he said, "Okay!" He turned over and entered the house, and ran back in the blink of an eye.
When Liang Chuan saw his brother Zhao showing off his hospitality, he deliberately said sourly: "Hey, your legs and feet are very nimble. Why have you become so active?"
Zhaodi's little face was already red when facing the charcoal fire. He couldn't tell whether it was because he was said to be red or because it was roasted red by the charcoal fire. He didn't bother to contradict Liangchuan's words and asked, "What kind of fame is Third Brother doing today?" ah?"
Liang Chuan said: "It's nothing special. It's just roasted bamboo rat. It doesn't eat crops or oil, just bamboo and weeds. It's very clean. Try it later and I'll make sure it's all on your tongue."
When Brother Zhao heard that, his mouth was watering, and he kept giggling and said: "I swallowed everything without even eating it, hahaha..."
"Can you be a bit successful?"
Liang Chuan ordered his brother Zhao to hold one end of the stick and turn it slowly so that the whole body of the rat meat was evenly roasted by the charcoal fire.
I did a lot of things today, including a delicious meal of roasted bamboo rat meat and dumplings made by the artist in the house. Although I will never go back, this winter solstice is not cold at all, it is very warm and very happy!
Zhaodi often roasted game in the past, but every time he could only make ends meet and was satisfied if he had enough to eat. If he eats well, then forget about it. Heini eats quite well. It doesn't matter anyway, it is better than eating raw. He regretted that he had caught so much game in the past. Every time he ate it, he was not satisfied with it, his stomach was uncomfortable, and he often had diarrhea. The third brother is really a very powerful person. He knows so many things. He can wrap roasted chicken in soil and eat mice on skewers. There are so many tricks and he is so satisfied every time he eats.
Liang Chuan roasted the rat meat for a long time, and finally it was done. There was a big piece of rat meat skewered on a skewer. It was golden and shiny. Even from a long distance away, Brother Zhao could smell the tantalizing aroma. It was so tempting. pole.
Yi Niang’s dumplings were also cooked at home. Sure enough, they are the same as boiled dumplings, but people’s names don’t seem to have synchronized yet. They call this kind of food Jiao’er. Judging from the appearance, it does look like a small lamb’s horn. ! .
Yi Niang bought a large piece of fat meat. The meat was chopped into fine pieces. There was no way the stuffing was all meat, but the green vegetable stuffing was added with fat meat and wrapped in a dumpling wrapper. After taking a bite out of the pot, the soup was full. It looks like it's about to explode, fresh and delicious.
Meat is expensive, so it’s great if you can eat it. How can anyone pick the fat and the thin?
Liangchuan’s bamboo rat is also roasted! The meat of bamboo rats is very firm, and the meat of wild game is tighter than that of domesticated meat, so it needs to be chewy enough to eat. Liang Chuan tore off two legs and gave them to his younger brother Zhao, and tore one leg off to give to Yi Niang, while keeping one leg for himself. Yi Niang was originally quite disgusted with this big rat, but seeing that Liang Chuan was really tempting when roasting it, she frowned and took it to taste.
The plump fat is crispy and delicious when eaten in your mouth. The temperature of the charcoal fire makes the small mouth keep blowing air on the meat to cool down the bamboo rat meat faster so that you can eat this delicious food in your mouth.
The ancients did not pursue much, just food, clothing and warmth. However, it is not easy to realize such a simple wish in this era. It took many days and nights of hard work to meet the current food and clothing. Life is finally on the right track. What should we do next?
It's time to think about this problem, live well, don't let Yi Niang worry, build a big house as promised, and go out to see it if you have the chance, after all. . Come all come!
