The whole mountain is my hunting ground

Four large iron cages were stacked in the Li family's warehouse. Li Baoyu and Jie Chen grabbed a roe deer and stuffed it into the cage.

The roe deer was pushed into the cage and screamed, but its four hooves were tied together and it was impossible for the roe deer to escape.

It turned out that I wanted to loosen the roe deer's legs after borrowing the cage. But then I thought about it, Zhang Yuanmin would set up the frame tomorrow morning. When the roe deer were to catch them, if their legs could move, it would be very difficult to catch them.

So I'll just close it for the night and make arrangements tomorrow.

Mountain animals are very wild. The roe deer, which had its hooves tied, swung its head and opened its mouth to bite Li Baoyu who was not paying attention.

Fortunately, Zhao Jun had quick hands and eyes and grabbed the roe deer by the back of the neck.

"Baoyu, pinch the back of its neck." Zhao Jun warned Li Baoyu, "Don't let him bite you."

"I know, brother." Li Baoyu responded. Although the cotton-padded jacket was quite thick, the bite from the roe deer was quite painful.

At this time, Wang Meilan took a closer look at the roe deer and said, "I remember it. On the New Year's Day, I will kill it first and let it bite our precious jade."

"What are you killing?" Zhao Youcai, who came to supervise the work, said, "They took out the roe deer today. I think there are five of them. Isn't that enough for you to eat these days?"

"Then let's keep it." Wang Meilan said: "The day after tomorrow is the New Year's Eve, let's kill one and let the children roast it and eat it."

"Then what should we do with the ones we took out?" Zhao Youcai asked, and Wang Meilan said, "Just put them in a snow shell and freeze them. Aren't they still uncivilized?"

After saying this, Wang Meilan saw what Zhao Youcai wanted to say, so she said to Zhao Jun: "Son, catch fifteen more of them tomorrow!"

Zhao Youcai: "..."

"Hey." Of course Zhao Jun knew who he should be targeting, and immediately responded with a smile: "Mom, don't worry, I won't come back until we catch fifteen of you tomorrow."

When Zhao Youcai heard this, he glared at the two women, turned around and walked back to his yard.

Wang Meilan glared back at the back of his head, and then said to Zhao Jun: "Son, I told your dad this morning that we would be a guest, and your dad said he would invite your security director and security team leader.

That's it... your former team leader also called out to you, "Your dad said we can't let people think we're just trying to kill the donkey." "

"My dad is very thoughtful." Zhao Jun smiled when he heard this, and then Wang Meilan asked again: "Son, tell me, do you need a roe deer from your family?"

"No need, just treat them to pork." Zhao Jun shook his head and said, "Catch these roe deer, and wait until the minister returns home to get four for him. After finishing the remaining ones, my brother-in-law and I will have to give them gifts." Woolen cloth."

"Who are you giving them to?" Wang Meilan asked Zhao Jun curiously, and Zhao Jun said: "On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, I'll leave home and get four for my Uncle Zhao. And I want to give two to Director Chu, and let my brother-in-law give two to him. "

"That's good." Wang Meilan nodded and said, "Uncle Zhou said that the director thinks highly of you."

While the two of them were talking, Zhao Youcai somehow slipped back. After hearing what Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan said, Zhao Youcai suddenly said, "How can such a big director still lack your two roe deers?"

Hearing this, Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan turned to look at Zhao Youcai, and then heard Zhao Youcai say: "We have crabs, prawns and the like. How about you get him some of those things? He can't buy them."

"Ouch!" Upon hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Wang Meilan hurriedly pulled Zhao Jun's arm and said, "Son, your father is right!"

"What's right?" Zhao Jun said with a smile: "The director asked me where I did it, what should I say?"

"Let's just say you went to Hebei." Wang Meilan said confidently: "You were brought back from Hebei."

Seeing Wang Meilan speaking so calmly, Zhao Jun said: "Then the director wants to ask me? Ask me why you went to Hebei if you don't go to work?"

As soon as Zhao Jun said this, Wang Meilan's eyes went silent.

Zhao Jun remembered that during that interview, the newspaper editor finally asked himself how he had the time and energy to do so many good people and good deeds in one day.

Zhao Jun was embarrassed when he asked.

"Then if you don't want to send it, just pull it down. Let's keep it for ourselves." Wang Meilan ignored the topic and said to Zhao Jun: "Son, don't leave so early tomorrow?"

"What's going on, Mom?" Zhao Jun asked, and Wang Meilan said: "At around seven o'clock, you take your dad and walk around these villages. Who do we want to invite? We need to tell them in advance. This is called an invitation. ,Yes or no?"

"I don't need him to come with me." Upon hearing this, Zhao Youcai quickly waved his hand and said, "I just took a stroll and went."

"Why are you taking a stroll? You're taking a stroll?" Wang Meilan said: "You go for a stroll, who's going to look after the house?"

"You..." Zhao Youcai was about to speak when Zhao Jun beat him to it and said, "Okay, dad, I'll drive around in our big jeep for you tomorrow. How exciting is this?"

"I..." Zhao Youcai wanted to say something else, but this time Wang Meilan said before him: "Okay, leave it to you and mine, hurry up and put the pig food in."

Zhao Youcai: "..."

…

There is no need to feed the dogs at night, and there is no need to feed the tied roe deer.

But the two big pots outside Zhao's house were also steaming.

Put pig food in one large pot, and roe deer ribs in another.

Two roe deer ribs are about the same size as lamb chops, but they are less rotten than lamb chops.

Each fan of roe deer ribs is divided into two, put directly into the pot with cold water, bring to a boil over high heat and skim off the blood foam. Then add a handful of white scallions and mountain pepper, and only add salt as seasoning.

When the meat is mashed in this way, it is the meat with your hands. When the meat is served, smear a layer of homemade chive flowers, which is so fragrant that it makes your index fingers lick.

Zhao Youcai was busy outside, and Wang Meilan was not idle inside.

Pour soybean oil directly into the pot, and then fry the squirrel meat that had been stewed in advance.

Cut the white squirrel meat into two, and fry half and half in the pot.

In the east room, the children who rested early today were not paying attention to the TV.

These children have no shortage of food, but even after 30 or 40 years, barbecue and deep-frying are still popular, let alone in this year?

When the fried squirrel was served, the children cheered and rushed to share the food.

At this time, Wang Meilan fried spring rolls and shrimp chips in the oil in the pot.

Forestry workers have a stable income from the government. But even so, spring rolls can only be seen in the homes of ordinary workers during the Chinese New Year. Shrimp chips are relatively common, but this thing is a hard dish to entertain guests at the beginning of the year.

After frying these two things, Wang Meilan started frying hairtail.

The hairtail was not taken by Zhao Weipeng. The hairtail, spring rolls and shrimp chips were all New Year benefits given to employees by the forest farm.

Each employee received 10 jin of hairtail, 20 jin for Zhao's family, 30 jin for Li Dayong's family, 20 jin for Li Dazhi's family, and 10 jin for Wang Qiang, Lin Xiangshun, Zhang Yuanmin and Jie Chen's families, which added up to 110 jin.

Because most of these people did not work, the 110 jin of hairtail was taken back by Li Dayong, Li Dazhi and Lin Xiangshun.

When they came back that day, they took the hairtail directly to Zhao's family. After dinner, when everyone went back to their own homes, Wang Meilan asked them to take the hairtail, but no one wanted it.

According to Lin Xue, we only have one meal at home a day, which is breakfast. Why do we take this home?

The fried hairtail was divided into two portions, one was fried fish, and the other was braised for two minutes, which became braised hairtail.

Add a roe deer meat fried with sauerkraut, and the dishes for tonight are complete.

The men were toasting and chatting, while the women and children ate faster and started to chop stuffing after they finished.

Nearly 40 kilograms of roe deer meat were chopped and shared among the group. Each family took some back to make stuffing for tomorrow morning.

In the west room, Zhao Youcai picked up the wine glass and drank it all, saying, "Okay, I won't drink anymore."

"What's the matter, brother-in-law?" Wang Qiang asked, "Why do you drink a whole jar today?"

"I'll have a bite of rice, and then I'll go to Lao Ma's house." Zhao Youcai said, "When you kill the pig, you have to invite my in-laws to eat meat, right?"

"Dad, I'll serve you some rice." Zhao Jun heard this and quickly got up to take the bowl from Zhao Youcai.

Please...you...collect_6_9_book_bar (六//九//书//吧)

"Then I won't drink either." Li Dayong said, "I have to invite my in-laws too."

After saying this, Li Dayong shouted to the door, "Xiaomei, when will we invite them?"

Jin Xiaomei appeared at the door with a kitchen knife in her hand and said, "No need to say, we'll invite them on the 26th."

It turned out that the Li family and the Zhao family had agreed on one day, but when working and chatting at the Li family in the afternoon, Li Ruhai heard Wang Meilan muttering about who she was going to invite, so he suggested to Jin Xiaomei that his family should stagger the invitation with the Zhao family and not on the same day.

Jin Xiaomei was very surprised and puzzled. According to what she had discussed with Li Dayong and Li Baoyu, they would kill pigs together with the Zhao family and use the two large stoves outside the Zhao family to roast meat and stew vegetables together, which would be much more convenient.

But Li Ruhai said that it would save trouble, but if the two families invited guests together, in addition to his three uncles, there would be his uncle Li Daren who lived in the Northwest Industrial Village and his family, and only Li Baoyu's future father-in-law could come. The remaining prominent people must go to the Zhao family.

The reason is very simple, because the secretary of the forestry farm was sitting at the Zhao family that day.

The two families were separated by a wall. When Li Dayong and his team leader and colleagues came, they heard that Zhou Chunming was next door, so they had to go over to see him.

On the day of the dinner, someone entered the house, and Zhao Youcai, as the host, had to say a polite word to keep the person for dinner.

Under normal circumstances, the guests invited by the Li family would not eat at the Zhao family. But those people wanted to make progress, and they had to agree to anything if they had the opportunity to have a meal with Zhou Chunming.

When Jin Xiaomei heard what Li Ruhai said, she realized that she and her husband and eldest son had been thinking too shallowly.

Li Ruhai was right, and the secretary, the security chief, and the village chief were all next door that day, so Li Dayong should go to Zhao's house!

So when Li Dayong got home from get off work, Jin Xiaomei discussed with him about changing the date.

On the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, Zhao Jun's family had a dinner party, and on the 25th, Wang Qiang and Lin Xiangshun's families slaughtered pigs. There was no conflict between them.

Lin Xiangshun mainly invited his colleagues from the team, and Wang Qiang's colleagues and friends were all in this room. In addition to this group of people, he also invited his father-in-law, eldest brother-in-law, second brother-in-law, eldest sister-in-law, and youngest sister-in-law.

On that day, the Zhao and Li families split into two groups and went to Wang Qiang and Lin Xiangshun's houses for dinner respectively.

So, Li Dayong and his wife decided to slaughter a pig for dinner on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month.

Suddenly, Xie Sun squeezed past Jin Xiaomei and entered the west room. As soon as she entered the room, she said to Xie Chen: "Son, let's finish the work for your uncle Li before we leave?"

"Ah?" Xie Chen was stunned when he heard this, and then said unhappily: "Mom, forget it! We are not going home for the New Year? My uncle Li will have a party on the 26th, and the New Year will be on the 29th!"

There is no New Year's Eve this year, and the 29th is New Year's Eve.

Xie Sun blinked her eyes, thinking that it would be fine to spend the New Year here, and go home to pick up the mother and daughter and reunite. Anyway, her family also has a house here, and there is no worry about food and drink.

But thinking that her eldest and second daughters had to go back to their parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year, Xie Sun smacked her lips and turned back to cut chopped green onions.

Cutting chopped green onions is a very torturous thing. If you don't cut it well, you will cry and have a lot of snot.

And the magical thing is that Xie Sun is not afraid of irritating her eyes when cutting chopped green onions. So since she was transformed, she cuts the chopped green onions for the Zhao family and the stuffing.

Zhao Jun served Zhao Youcai a bowl of rice, and Zhao Youcai gave half of it to Li Dayong. They had almost finished drinking and eating, and they had a lot of oil and water in the day, so half a bowl of rice was enough.

After eating half a bowl of rice, mixed with roe deer meat and stir-fried pickled cabbage, Zhao Youcai put down his bowl and chopsticks, grabbed the Hongtashan cigarette box next to him, stood up and said, "Let's go!"

When Zhao Youcai walked out, he passed behind Li Dazhi, put his hand on Li Dazhi's shoulder and asked, "Can't you entertain? If you want to entertain, there is a pig."

"What should I entertain?" Li Dazhi sighed and said, "I don't have any relatives."

"Hehe..." Everyone laughed when they heard this. Li Dazhi said, "I change jobs every few days, and all those years of entertaining guests are in vain."

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed even louder. In Li Dazhi's case, not only was the entertainment in vain, but even the gifts he gave out could not be taken back.

There is a saying that people are in the same boat. Before Li Dazhi came to Yong'an, he was in Shuguang Forest Farm. The border between Shuguang Forest District and Yong'an Forest District is more than 60 miles away from Yong'an Village.

The Shuguang Forest Farm family quarters are nearly 200 miles away from Yong'an Village. As someone who has been transferred, who can run 200 miles to bring you gifts? It's hard to ask someone to bring gifts.

And the other forest areas where Li Dazhi used to stay are even farther away from Yong'an Village, so don't even think about it.

"So what?" Wang Qiang said to Li Dazhi, "Aren't you not leaving this time?"

"Not leaving!" Li Dazhi waved his hand and said, "My mother and mother said that we don't want to work anymore, so we won't leave either. We'll stay in this village!"

"Hahaha..."

Amid laughter, Zhao Youcai led Zhao Jun out of the house.

The father came out to invite his wife-to-be and her family. Zhao Jun followed Zhao Youcai happily and asked as soon as he went out: "Dad, can I drive you there?"

"What's wrong with you?" Zhao Youcai said: "It's just a few steps away. Why are you showing off all day?"

Zhao Jun: "..."

Zhao Jun endured it, and after walking out of the yard, Zhao Youcai took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, then turned to face the fence to avoid the wind, and took out a match from his pocket.

Zhao Jun quickly reached out to help Zhao Youcai block the wind.

Lighting the cigarette, Zhao Youcai shook out the match, then threw it on the ground, and said: "I smoke this cigarette very quickly. Your uncle Zhao gave me that cigarette, and I can't smoke a cigarette for two days."

Zhao Jun: "..."

The year 1988 in the book is the same as this year in reality. There is no New Year's Eve.
