Siheyuan: Spring and Autumn

Mopan Mountain.

Qin Zheng and a platoon of soldiers were wearing camouflage uniforms and moving as swiftly as the wind through the dense forest. The snow under their feet only made a slight "crunch, crunch" sound, but the sound did not travel far.

The purpose of their trip was both to train soldiers and to hunt.

With such a heavy training volume, nutrition must be kept up, and also, the Spring Festival is coming soon, so the soldiers under him must have a good year.

The soldiers crossed mountains and ridges, walked on ridges instead of ditches, and walked vertically instead of horizontally. It was obvious that they were well-trained, which not only avoided getting lost but also saved energy.

Just after crossing a ridge, the platoon leader Zeng Zhixing clenched his fist and waved the soldiers, who immediately stopped and pointed their guns in the surroundings for vigilance.

I saw a medium-sized group of wild boars in the ditch below. There were eight big boars and the other seven were small wild boars with patterns.

Zeng Zhiguang did not speak, but just made a few gestures, and the soldiers immediately dispersed. In just five minutes, eight gunshots were heard, and all eight big pigs fell to the ground, killed in one shot. Seven little wild boars were also captured alive by the soldiers.

Although the soldiers had smiles on their faces, they never let their guard down for a moment. It was completely actual combat.

During the entire hunting process, Qin Zheng and Xiaodao just followed and did not take any action. The operation was commanded by the platoon leader from beginning to end. So far, the effect is quite good.

The purpose of this trip, of course, is to test the training effect. Looking at the soldiers who are as swift as the wind and resolutely execute orders, Qin Zheng feels satisfied. During the whole operation, no one made a sound, and crossing the snowfield and passing through the dense forest was as easy as pie.

This action was initiated by Qin Zheng after the winter vacation. He had finished his first semester of study with the first place in the grade.

This morning, when Qin Zheng arrived at the military camp, Xiaodao flew down from the tree and landed on Qin Zheng's shoulder. It rubbed his head with its beak, then stood on his shoulder, and was reluctant to leave.

Qin Zheng felt guilty towards Xiaodao. Because he had to go to school, he could only let it live on a big tree in the military camp, and he didn't have much time to accompany it. Xiaodao was dissatisfied with him.

However, today the two of them will fight side by side again. When Qin Zheng conveyed the order, Xiaodao immediately let out a happy cry and flew into the sky.

Now that he has seen the soldiers' performance, it is time for him and Xiaodao to show their skills. After parting with the soldiers, Qin Zheng headed towards the center of the mountain alone.

Two hours later, at the foot of Mopan Mountain, twenty-eight large wild boars and fifteen live small wild boars were piled on a truck. There were also many pheasants, hares, and roe deer. These were the results of today's battle.

"The instructor is back."

A soldier shouted while holding up a telescope.

Following his voice, the soldiers saw a shocking scene.

Qin Zheng was seen carrying a black bear on his shoulder and a little bear in his hand. The weight of several hundred kilograms seemed to have no effect on him at all. He walked through the forests and across the mountains as if walking on flat ground, as fast as the wind.

"Amazing, you are worthy of being an instructor."

A platoon leader exclaimed.

"The little bear is still alive."

The soldier holding the telescope shouted again.

The soldiers didn't know that in Qin Zheng's space warehouse, there was a bigger black bear, which was placed together with the bear gall of the black bear on his shoulder. As for the bear's intestines, Qin Zheng hung them on a big tree in the mountains. This was what mountain hunters did.

The black bear is full of treasures, and what Qin Zheng needs are the bear gall and bones, and of course, the bear paws he has been craving for a long time!

In 1952, the state issued a "tiger-hunting order". In fact, not only tigers, but all wild animals that harm livestock and humans were included in the crackdown.

Therefore, friends who read the book should not be too obsessed with purity of mind and criticize the protagonist for hunting protected animals for future generations.

Speaking of bear paw, Qin Zheng estimated that even He Yuzhu might not be able to make it successfully.

The trick to stewing bear paws is to soak them in honey water for a few days to dissolve the hard skin.

When cooking, apply a thick layer of honey on the bear paw and cook it together with wine, vinegar and water. The bear paw will then swell to the size of a ball and can be easily cooked soft.

If you don’t use honey, it is said that you won’t be able to eat it no matter how many days you simmer it.

Moreover, the bear paw cannot be eaten immediately after it is cut. It must wait until the next year when it is completely dry before it can be stewed. The newly cut bear paw must not come into contact with water. You can only wipe off the blood, otherwise it will not be tender when stewed later.

Of course, it’s enough for everyone to know about it, but don’t think about putting it into practice. Free food is definitely not delicious.

At night, the military camp was filled with fragrance, and the kitchen was preparing pig-killing dishes.

After all, the country was founded not long ago and the population of the capital had not yet skyrocketed. There were many wild animals in the nearby mountains. The five teams hunted 98 wild boars and 35 live piglets. Qin Zheng's team had the most results. The reconnaissance battalion kept ten pigs, and the rest of the prey was sent to the military district. Therefore, the entire military district was improving life.

Qin Zheng didn't know that at this moment, Chen Xueru was sulking in the silk shop.

"He's been on vacation for three days, why hasn't he come to see me yet? What does he mean to me? Why hasn't he expressed his feelings yet?"

They have known each other for three months and have gone on several dates. She can clearly feel that Qin Zheng likes her, but after such a long time, he has not made their relationship clear. Could it be that he has no interest in her?

For the past three days, she had been feeling anxious and worried, but even though she was upset, she couldn't help wanting to see Qin Zheng. She could never forget his smile, words and actions.

Of course, no one told her that this was what it felt like to be in love.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more aggrieved she felt. In the end, Chen Xueru's depressed and lost mood was like a thick fog that made her breathless. She couldn't help but hate him in her heart, and she was sure that she would not give him a good face the next time she saw him.

Oh, love, what a troublesome little devil!

All I can say is that Chen Xueru wronged Qin Zheng. It’s not that he wasn’t tempted, he just thought the time was not right.

The reason is that Qin Zheng comes from later generations, and his understanding of love is still influenced by later generations.

Yes, now the country advocates new people and new things, and advocates new trends in marriage.

However, there are still not many people who can truly fall in love and get married on their own, and blind dates are still an important way to organize marriages.

Once a man and a woman are introduced by a matchmaker and they fall in love with each other, they often get married within a month or two. Two people who don't even know each other start living together and can still go through life with ups and downs.

This is not like later generations!

In later generations, dating is mostly like running a marathon, a long-distance love game, which can last from one to two years at the shortest, to four to five years at the longest. There are also trial marriages, and if they are not suitable, they will separate.

Of course, there are also people who fall in love at first sight and have sex immediately, but it is hard to say whether they can stay together for a long time.

This is just the time aspect, not to mention the requirements of external conditions.

Qin Zheng's thoughts were also influenced by later generations. He also wanted to express his feelings, but he was worried that the time was too short and he would be disrespectful to the beauty.

Chen Xueru was angry and depressed throughout the whole day. However, when Qin Zheng appeared at the door of the silk shop, Chen Xueru suddenly smiled like a flower, and her depressed mood was like encountering the bright sunshine, sweeping away the haze in her heart.

Waiting is obviously not Chen Xueru's style. Once she identifies someone, she will take the initiative.

"Brother Zheng, the New Year is coming soon, does your family want to buy new clothes?"

"of course yes."

"Then buy it in my shop. I'll give you the cost price."

Chen Xueru looked at Qin Zheng with burning eyes, trying to read his attitude from his expression. Seeing her expectant expression, Qin Zheng smiled happily and understood.

In that case, tomorrow, after she meets her family, it will be her time to confess!
