Alpine pasture

Chapter 151 The benefits of being long and ugly
When the future old father-in-law spoke, Ju An naturally nodded fiercely and said happily, "Wait for the next time, when the puppy is born, let Dinah choose it." The smile on his face seemed to be how much he took advantage of.

Dinah looked at Ju An and smiled and said, "By the way, you haven't said how you know the fox yet."Hearing what Dinah said, Marcos and Dad also became interested, so everyone followed closely. Ju An and Dina were in front, Marcos and Dad followed, and Ju An asked how they encountered theft. The egg thief family, and then reunited in the mountains and said again, Marcos and Dad are nothing, just smiled and laughed, Dinah said: "When can I see it, listen to you little fox Pretty smart."

"I don't want to see their family. As soon as they appeared, they opened their mouths several times. There are a lot of free things to eat and drink at home. These guys are getting bigger and bigger. When I think about their appetite in the future, I have a headache." Ju An said quickly. .

Marcos said: "Mountain lions can work as cattle herding dogs when they grow up. Some people raise them in some places. They are very docile and good pets when they grow up. Golden eagles can hunt wolves and raise them if they are trained well. The advantage of being in the pasture is that there are fewer rabbits, which can protect the grass of the pasture, so that the rabbits will not dig holes everywhere and destroy the grass. As for Teddy, I don't know, I have never heard of anyone raising brown bears. This guy can grow up to five or six Hundred kilograms, it is too strong to eat, and ordinary people can't afford this thing."

Ju An was a little satisfied after hearing what Marcos said: "It's okay! It's okay! In this way, Teddy is the only one who eats and drinks for free, and the rest can play a role in the ranch. As for Teddy, I am Even if he is in the entertainment industry on the ranch, his work can be regarded as entertaining the public."

When everyone heard Ju An's evaluation of Teddy, they couldn't help thinking of Teddy's silly appearance, and burst into laughter.The group of people rode their horses while talking. When they returned to the ranch, Melina and her mother were already waiting at the door. When they saw the big deer on the cow, Melina praised: "What a big guy, I haven't seen a deer like this in years."

Dinah said: "Dad knocked this big guy down with the first shot. Mom, you can see that Dad still has a smile on his face."After he finished speaking, he pointed to Marcos behind him, and Ju An took a look, and sure enough, the beards on his face were shaking, and the folds were flattened.

Everyone helped lift the deer off the back of the ox, and Ju An also got the fox off and said to his mother, "Today I got a fox out of the wolf's mouth, and I will peel it and send it to the town tomorrow. Go up and deal with it, my mother will cook the meat a little tonight and feed it to the cattle dog."As he spoke, he hung the fox on a nearby tree branch with a leather strip.

Marcos and his father dragged the deer they got down to the tree and hung it a few steps away from the place where the fox was hung in Ju'an. Following Marcos, they said to Melina, "Go to the kitchen and get me a sharpie. Come here with the knife, and I'll peel it."

Just as Melina was about to turn around after hearing this, Ju An said, "I'll go get one, just in time for me to get one too."After he finished speaking, he lifted his legs and walked towards the house, letting Melina follow her mother and Dinah to watch.

When Ju An took out the knife from the house, he took two pots and put them under the deer and fox's bodies, and put the peeled off internal organs. Marcos moved the deer, and Ju An saw if Marcos was rushing. He stabbed the deer's chest, and then pulled it gently, splitting the skin to both sides, and then began to pick the skin. There was no hesitation in the knife, and the technique was quite skilled. As for the father, he started beside Marcos.

Seeing that Marcos had already started, Ju An followed suit, and both of them focused on peeling the skin. Ju An was more careful this time, for fear of hurting the skin suddenly. Only then did Ju An peel off the entire fox skin completely. It can bring the meat, but it must not hurt the skin. Overall, it was not bad. When Ju An stopped, he found that Marcos had already peeled such a big deer. Almost finished peeling, that is, the neck and head have not been peeled.

When Ju An opened the fox's belly and took out the internal organs, Marcos was almost finished, leaving the head to cut off the entire neck, so that the head was complete, ready to be kept. Do decoration.

When the two of them were almost cleaned up, the work of cleaning up the internal organs was up to Dinah, Melina and their mother. Ju An and Marcos carefully picked the minced meat from the skin, and the women began to clean the deer. As for the internal organs of the fox, my mother is someone who is used to saving money. She roughly washed the intestines of the deer, and threw the chopped fox meat into a large pot and boiled it.

Originally, Marcos asked to cook it separately, saying that the fox meat was more muted and smelled bad, so my mother just put a lot of peppercorns in it. , and threw it directly into the trunk of Marcos' green pickup. Of course, the other half belonged to Ju'an's house. The main course of tonight's dinner was roasted deer legs.

Marcos sorted out the deer skin, cleaned the whole deer, put it on a tray, carefully brushed it with a layer of salt and then sent it to the oven.

The next time was when a group of children were busy, and Ju An, his mother, and Marcos rode horses to help gather the cows.

When the cows were fully gathered, it was almost dark, and when the group returned to the house, they could smell the tempting smell of meat, which hooked out all the greedy worms in Ju An's stomach.

Tonight's dinner was more lively. There were three people in Ju An's family, three in Dina's family, and Er Zhuang, three Thomas and Wynn, while Da Jun and Du Hu were busy in the east house and couldn't come over. .In the evening, a table was full of Western dishes, Sarah roasted deer legs, as well as steaks, mashed potatoes, etc. Everyone chatted while eating.

Marcos happily explained how he hunted the deer: "At that time, I was about to shoot when I suddenly saw a bigger guy rushing out of the woods next to me. I looked up, good guy! The guy I aimed at just got bigger, and the thick hair on his chest turned dark black, so I immediately changed the target and knocked him down with one shot."

Thomas said with a smile, "You are so lucky. Last time, I went to Anjin Mountain to get a twelve-forked deer for a week, but I didn't find it. Finally, I brought back two little mountain lions."

Marcos continued: "Ann, do you want a deer head decoration? Then this deer head will be given to you, and I don't want the deer skin on my body. Ann, you can take two skins and send them to town tomorrow."

Ju An waved his hand and said, "No need, I actually just want to make a specimen with my own hands to make a memorial, but the deerskin can be given to me, Er Zhuang has wanted one for a long time, and I will bring it to town tomorrow. Find someone to handle it."

Marcos listened and nodded and said, "Yes, it's interesting to hunt this thing by yourself. There are a lot of deerskins. If you want, you can kill a few more by yourself. You only hit one of your ten deer. , But the color of the deer here is not good-looking, gray, if you have the opportunity, go to Africa to hunt antelope, the skin is better, and there are leopards or something, but now I don’t know if I can still hunt, I went there once when I was young , hunted a spotted hyena, made a specimen and kept it at home, I will show you when you go next time."

"I'm not going to finish hunting either, I just go hunting when I have nothing to do, and I can eat venison all day long. I might go hunting with a friend in South Africa this year, or you can go with me when the time comes." Ju An Speaking to Marcos.

Marcos was a little moved when he heard it, then shook his head and said, "I want to go, but I can't. There are a lot of things on the farm, and it's not as free as when I was young, hey! By the way, are you going to a private reserve or not? Protected Areas of the South African Country".

Ju An thought for a moment and replied, "It should be a private reserve. I heard from him that there are several groups of lions in it, as well as leopards, hyenas, antelopes, African bison, etc. It was invested by himself and his friends. ".

"That's a private reserve. There are so many wild animals in Africa. I went there once and it was an eye-opener. If you have the opportunity to encounter wildebeest migrating, it will be spectacular. There are hundreds of thousands of animals or even Millions of wildebeest gathered together on the grassland, mighty, you will never forget that scene once you have seen it!" Marcos finished speaking with an intoxicated look on his face.

Melina looked at Marcos and explained to the people at the table with a smile: "He has been to Africa once, and every time someone mentions it, this expression, the spotted hyena he brought back, is made into a specimen. They were all dirty and looked extremely ugly. They were originally placed in the living room, but who knew that the daughters didn’t like them, so they had to take them to his office and put them away.”

Ju An listened and smiled. Spotted hyenas are actually quite fierce, and they dare to grab the prey of the lioness. As for cheetahs, leopards, etc., if the prey is caught and seen by the hyena, in most cases, it will be stolen. Let's go, he is also a hegemon on the African grasslands.

Because they are ugly, their fur has no value at all. Under the circumstance that lions and leopards are illegally hunted and killed in large numbers, spotted hyenas are very interesting. Whoever said that being ugly is not good, people rely on being ugly to live. Moisturizing.

After dinner, Dinah Melina helped her mother clean up the table, and everyone chatted on the sofa for a while. Max took the family to leave, and Ju An and his mother and father sent the three to the table. At the door, I watched Marcos' old-fashioned green pickup vanish into the night before returning to the house.

As soon as the door was closed, my mother said to Ju An, "My family, they seem to be nice people, and they are all friendly. The more I look at this girl, the more satisfied I am."

Dad nodded and said, "Well, a good family."Mom then gave Ju An another order.Until Ju An said, "Mom, I will send the fox fur to the town tomorrow to make you a hat or a scarf."

My mother smiled and said, "It's good that you have this heart. Mother is so old, give it to Dinah."

Ju An hurriedly offered the treasure and said, "I'll give it to her in the future, so I'll get one for you first."Mom listened with a smile and finally moved the topic to another place. Dad quietly smiled at Ju An behind Mom's back.
