Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

When Zhang Guifang saw that Liu Ping'an didn't leave, she knew what he was going to do.

"Don't think about it. There's no seasoning to make a big dish. I'll make you some steamed fish. It tastes delicious."

Liu Ping'an's face suddenly turned bitter, causing Xiaoxia next to him to cover her mouth and laugh.

The steamed fish in Liu Ping'an's memory was really clear, with nothing in it. All he had to do was add some salt when it came out of the pot.

Apart from other things, the main problem is that the fishy smell is not removed by cooking wine, so it tastes awkward no matter how you eat it.

Liu Ping'an's eyes rolled and he walked to the stove with a licking face.

"Mom, what do you think this is?"

Liu Ping'an spread out his hands like he was offering a treasure. Zhang Guifang couldn't take her eyes off him and asked in surprise, "Where did you get the eggs and peppercorns?"

Of course, this egg comes from the Lingquan Space.

Liu Ping'an is also very careful in his work. These eggs are pheasant eggs.

As for the Sichuan pepper, it was an unexpected gain.

After he collected the pheasant, he checked the space and found a pepper hanging on the brown pheasant.

Zanthoxylum bungeanum is a plant of the Rutaceae family, ranked first among the “Thirteen Spices” of condiments, and is known as the “King of Condiments”.

This thing is great for seasoning, but you can't eat too much of it, as it can easily damage your liver.

But then again, who wouldn't be stupid enough to eat more of this stuff?

How can you eat the dish if you put too much of this stuff? Your tongue will become numb and lose all feeling.

"This is a pheasant egg. I dug it out from the bushes at the foot of the mountain. This peppercorn was next to it. I thought it looked a bit like it, so I brought it back."

Zhang Guifang was so happy to hear this that she couldn't stop smiling.

But she didn't want to use the peppercorns: "Peppercorns are very expensive now. I'll plant some in the yard later. When there are enough, you can sell them in the state-owned hotel."

"Mom, how can we grow all the peppercorns in the field? Just open a peppercorn shell and get some seeds, and make the rest into seasoning. I'll make you a boiled fish that the chef in our yard taught me."

Liu Ping'an didn't care and rolled up his sleeves to get to work.

Zhang Guifang did not stop him when she saw this. She thought it was a good thing that her son wanted to show off.

She took a kitchen knife and cut a dozen peppercorns, then ran to the yard with the remaining peppercorns.

And Liu Ping'an began to show off his cooking skills.

He first cut the fish open from the back, sliced ​​it into slices, chopped the fish bones into large pieces, and washed it with water.

Then he took out a pheasant egg, cracked the eggshell and used the egg liquid to coat the fish.

We don’t have refined flour at home, and using sorghum flour will break the fish into fish chunks.

After finishing, Liu Ping'an poured in a large spoonful of lard and took the opportunity to chop up the dried chilies hanging under the eaves.

At this time, the pan is hot and the oil is melted.

Liu Ping'an put the dried chilies and Sichuan peppercorns into the pan and fried them until fragrant, then added the fish fillets and fish bones to stir-fry until the flavor came out.

Finally, he ran outside and secretly put the spiritual spring water into a gourd, then poured it into the pot, waited for the water to boil and cooked it for a while.

After finishing, Liu Ping'an gave some instructions and went back to the main room to drink water.

After all, this kitchen doesn't have a range hood, so it's extremely stuffy and hot.

But the two little girls were used to it and still stayed in the kitchen, looking at the delicious food in the pot with shining eyes.

"Brother Ping An's cooking is so delicious. I think all the blind date prospects will break down the door of our house."

Xiaoyan was lighting a fire, smelling the fragrance of the peppercorns, and said happily to her sister.

"Brother Ping An is a worker. Even if he can't cook, there are still people who want to marry him. It's so nice to eat commercial grain."

Xiaoxia envied Liu Ping'an very much. She was only a girl with primary school education and she would not be able to continue her studies. She would probably have to start blind dating in another year.

But she didn't want to get married. She had seen a lot and knew that such harmonious families were very rare.

Even though the people in Qinjia Village are relatively kind, they still favor boys over girls.

There was a woman in the next village who gave birth to three girls. Her husband felt ashamed and could not hold his head up, and he often abused her.

She doesn't want to encounter this kind of thing, she still wants to learn a skill.

But she also knows the difficulties of the current family situation.

To her, these were just fantasies, as her family could not afford to support another Liu Ping'an.

The time passed quickly and the fragrance became stronger and stronger.

The three little ones and their grandmother were standing at the door, smelling the fragrance.

Especially Lele, he was so happy to think about eating delicious food that he was grinning foolishly and his saliva was flowing.

Liu Ping'an returned to the kitchen and poured all the fish in the pot into a basin.

Grandma came hurriedly over and helped carry the basin to the main room with a smile on her face.

The whole family sat together, eating the spicy and delicious boiled fish, and the feeling of happiness was overflowing.

Not talking while eating or sleeping is particularly popular in the Liu family these days.

Everyone was afraid that if they said one more word, the fish would be gone. Even though there were more than ten kilograms of fish, it was not enough for the Liu family to eat.

As for those river shrimps and crabs, Liu Ping'an estimated that his family planned to keep them for the time being.

After dinner, Liu Ping'an lay on the bed to rest.

The four grown men went straight to the collective fields, while grandma took the women and children to look for wild vegetables outside the village.

"Ping An, have a good rest. Grandma will make you some vegetable pancakes when she comes back."

The wild vegetables they found yesterday were gone after they were used up in two meals of wild vegetable porridge today. Liu Ping'an estimated that he wouldn't be able to find many wild vegetables outside, and the situation was not good now.

Liu Ping'an estimated that after a while, there would be no wild vegetables to eat.

After everyone in the family left, Liu Ping'an felt a little bored again. Thinking of the bear footprints he encountered this morning, he felt a little itchy again.

"If I could get a wild boar or a bear and bring it back to the factory, I'd probably be praised."

The praise nowadays is not the empty words of later generations.

The factory had to pay him for everything he purchased.

Thinking of that scene, Liu Ping'an couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up, took his hunting rifle, and trotted into the mountains again.

Walking up the mountain along the dam, Liu Ping'an discovered footprints of wild animals again.

There were fresh footsteps near the dam, but they didn't seem to be bear footprints from this morning. They looked more like wild boar or wolf footprints.

"It looks like another animal wants to come here to drink water."

Liu Ping'an suddenly had an idea. He walked forward along the dam and climbed over a hill. He suddenly stopped, bent over and hid behind a tree, excitedly looking at a black bear lying beside the dam!

You don’t know what the black bear is like until you see it. It was frightened when it saw Liu Ping’an.

Unlike what you see on TV, this black bear is huge. It is three meters long even when lying down, and its oppressive power is incredible!

If he stood up and rushed towards Liu Ping'an, he would probably be frightened silly by the power.

But Liu Ping'an was more excited. He spat on his hand, loaded the bullet, pulled the bolt, adjusted his breathing, and aimed at the black bear's head.

He wanted to kill him with one blow.

Liu Ping'an aimed for a long time, until his hands stopped shaking, and then he immediately pulled the trigger.

boom!

A bullet whizzed out from the muzzle of the shotgun, tearing through the air, and shot into the black bear's body with a long howl.

Blood splattered immediately, the black bear roared in pain, and the entire forest shook.

Liu Ping'an was extremely contemptuous of his own marksmanship. No matter how hard he aimed, he still couldn't hit the head. It was really bad!

But before he could complain, the black bear had already locked onto his position with a fierce look in its eyes.

The black bear stood up. Its three-meter-tall body was terrifying to look at. It immediately pounced down and rushed towards Liu Ping'an's position.

The black bear is also called a blind bear. It has very small eyes and degraded vision.

But the sense of smell and hearing are very sharp.

At the same time, its speed is very fast. It can run at a fast speed of up to 48 kilometers per hour, which humans cannot outrun at all.

However, Liu Ping'an did not run at all. When the black bear took two or three steps to a distance of ten feet, Liu Ping'an immediately activated the Lingquan space.

And the black bear also disappeared in the real world.

Call ~

Liu Ping'an's legs went limp instantly, and he immediately fell to the ground, breathing heavily.

"This blind bear is too intimidating. No wonder humans are called terrifying upright apes. They can even conquer such a dominant beast."

Liu Ping'an leaned against a tree and rested for a while before he came to his senses.

When he opened the space, he saw the black bear being kept in a farm.

He must kill this black bear, and he must let everyone else know that he has done it.

"Don't blame me, it's just the law of nature."

Liu Ping'an stood in the space, loaded the bullet, and shot the black bear directly in the head, killing it instantly.

After killing it, Liu Ping'an released the black bear.

With a clang, the black bear's body fell to the ground, making a small hole in the ground.

“It’s a really big one.”

Liu Ping'an was also a little emotional when looking at such a big bear.

He was afraid that the night would be too long and the smell of blood would attract other wild beasts, so he hurried down the mountain.

It is now afternoon and the villagers are working in the fields.

Liu Xingwang sat on the edge of the field, drank some water, and listened to the villagers praising their grandson.

Although the two chickens yesterday were not much, on average each villager got a bite of chicken.

There is no need to say much about the taste of eating meat, just one word: good!

"Lao Liu, I envy you so much. Now that a little Ping An is born in your family, the hard times are over."

"Yes, only Old Liu could raise such a good child. He never forgets the well-digger. Even in such a difficult time, he still knows how to repay the kindness."

Liu Xingwang couldn't close his mouth while listening, and the smile on his face never disappeared.

When Liu Jianjun saw his father waving his hands happily, he couldn't help but curl his lips.

She is obviously my wife... and I educated her well.

Why don't you praise him?

Uncle San sat in the back, looking at the expressions of his second brother and father and laughing.

I don't know what his joke is.

At least the eldest brother Liu Jianguo felt that his third brother might have something wrong with his brain.

"Old Liu, look quickly, is that your family safe?"

Liu Xingwang was listening to the flattery, and when he heard this he turned around and looked, then nodded and stood up: "Yes, that's my Ping An, why are you running down here in such a hurry?"

Liu Xingwang felt a little nervous, wondering if he was injured.

Thinking of this, his pace changed from walking to running, and the three brothers following behind their father also started running.

"Ping An, why are you running? Are you being chased by a wolf?"

Liu Jianping saw that Ping'an had no injuries on his body and started making a joke.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xingwang glared at Liu Jianping, then walked over, grabbed his grandson and looked at him.

At this time, Liu Pingan took a breath and said with a smile: "It's okay, I just killed a blind bear in the mountains, and I want you to go up and help me get it down."

Liu Ping'an didn't avoid other people when he said this. When the people who followed him along the ridge heard this, they immediately exclaimed:

"Blind bear! Is this true?"

Liu Xingwang was also shocked, but he was unhappy when he heard someone questioning his grandson.

"My grandson would lie?"

At this time, the village chief came over and quickly mobilized other people after hearing this.

"If we really kill a blind bear, we have to hurry and make sure it doesn't get eaten by other wild animals. Let's go and take a look!"

Anyway, the work is done and everyone has nothing to do.

When you encounter something so strange like this, you have to go and take a look, right?

After the village chief said this, others began to call their friends and followed Liu Ping'an into the mountains.

After a while, everyone came to the dam and were so surprised to see the huge black bear that they were speechless.

"Ping An is more powerful than an old hunter like me."

A villager named Qin Dabao walked up. He was a hunter in the village and used to hunt prey often, but now after the dry season, he rarely hunts.

Some time ago, he went into the mountains and encountered a blind bear, and then fled in panic.

But he didn't hit the brother, and he didn't know if it was this one.

He squatted down to check the blind bear's injuries, and said with some emotion that "the new generation pushes the old generation forward".

"One shot to the head and one to the body. Ping An's shooting skills are better than those of the soldiers."

Liu Xingwang was originally so shocked by the blind bear's corpse that he was speechless, but when he heard Qin Dabao's words, he raised his head proudly.

"Of course, this is my grandson."

Liu Jianjun really couldn't help it. How could his father flatter him so much?

I haven’t said “This is my son?”

"No, next time I have to tell you in advance, otherwise my dad will take away my face."

When Liu Ping'an saw the admiring expressions on everyone's faces, he knew that he had achieved his goal, so he clapped his hands at everyone.

"Everyone, please help me carry this blind bear away. Is there anyone in the village who can kill pigs? Please help me deal with the bear. Then every household in the village can get some meat!"

Liu Ping'an's words made the simple villagers open their eyes wide.

"Ping An...you are serious, you have to give us some meat!"

The others also looked incredulous, after all, meat is very precious these days.

How can they get a share of the meat when they didn’t do anything?

In this era, simple people never think of taking advantage of others.

They all take pride in hard work and feel ashamed of being lazy.

People who take advantage of others without doing anything will be despised by the villagers.

"Of course, I, Liu Ping'an, have the final say."

Liu Ping'an nodded to everyone and said, "But let me tell you in advance, I want the two bear paws and the bear gall. Is that okay with you?"

"Of course, no problem. It's only natural that you take all of the bear. We should be grateful for getting our share of the meat!"

The village chief stood up and spoke to everyone, and everyone nodded.

"Ping An is right. We didn't contribute anything but he still wants to take advantage of us. People like him should get out of Qinjia Village."

The village chief's words were final, and all the villagers agreed. They stood next to the black bear with smiles on their faces, exclaiming in amazement.

Liu Pingan breathed a sigh of relief and without further ado, he shouted to everyone, "Let's carry the bear down the mountain, and then we can kill the bear and divide the meat in the yard."
