Chapter 1579: The Three Earthly Immortals and the Pure Yang Body
Hualong, like Da Laohuang who was recuperating at home, was injured on the buttocks.
The buttocks are living flesh, and the wound bleeds a lot, but it is not serious. It is just that the wound is not easy to bandage, so Li Baoyu and Jie Chen applied medicine to Hua Long to stop the bleeding, and then went home to find Lin Xue to suture the wound.
After cleaning up the dragon, Lin Xiangshun and the other two helped Zhao Jun feed the dog. Before coming, Wang Meilan had given instructions. The wild boar intestines had to be kept and used to make sausages at home.
Although the four Zhao Juns were somewhat reluctant to clean up the intestines, they had to do what Wang Meilan had asked them to do. They had no choice but to simply clean up the wild boar intestines on the snow on the mountain.
While cleaning the wild boar intestines, the four of them couldn't help but sigh, wishing Zhang Yuanmin were here.
After the wild boar intestines were cleaned up and the hunting dogs were full, Zhang Yuanmin and Zhao Jinhui hurried over.
When he got here and saw that the battle was over, Zhao Jinhui felt that his trip was in vain. He must have lost two pounds of weight after walking on the mountain road for so long, and he didn't even get to see the excitement.
It was still early at this time, but the Zhao army was unwilling to fight another battle, so they immediately decided to call off the battle and take the dog home.
Today, Han Dachun and Han Daming came to his house to discuss the menu for his wedding banquet, and Zhao Jun also wanted to participate.
It is just past ten o'clock, and the brothers Han Dachun and Han Daming have not arrived at the Zhao family yet.
At this time, Zhao Youcai, Li Dayong and Wang Qiang were receiving another wave of guests in the west room of the Zhao family.
The people who came were a father and son. The father was about the same age as Zhao Youcai, and the son looked older than Zhao Jun, but not much older.
Zhao Jun had dealt with the father and son before. When the two tigers were causing trouble in Yong'an last year, Zhao Jun chased Yi Er and went up the mountain with Xue Limin.
The person sitting next to Xue Liming was Xue Baoshan, one of the four tiger-fighting gang twenty years ago.
Anyone who can be called Baoshan is not an ordinary person. Xue Baoshan took a puff of the Shilin cigarette given by Zhao Youcai, glanced at the Zhao family compound outside the window, and then turned back to Zhao Youcai and said, "Zhao Er, I really didn't expect that you could still live such a good life."
"Haha, then you see... um?" Zhao Youcai was halfway through his words when he realized that Xue Baoshan was not saying good things. His face immediately darkened, he glared at Xue Baoshan and said, "If you want to fart, get out."
"Haha..." Xue Baoshan laughed, and at this time Xue Liming quietly pulled his father, fearing that he would offend the most vengeful Ergudong in the legend.
Seeing Xue Baoshan laughing, Zhao Youcai glared at him again, then winked at Li Dayong next to him.
Li Dayong understood immediately and asked Xue Baoshan, "Brother Xue, have you been doing well these past two years?"
"Not bad..." Xue Baoshan just opened his mouth, but before he could finish his words, Li Dayong asked, "Are you still living in Lingnan?"
"Yeah." Xue Baoshan's face darkened as he spoke. Thinking back to the time when he left his hometown for stealing tiger bones, more than 20 years have passed. Although his family is living well now, if he had stayed in Yong'an Forest Area, life would definitely be better than it is now.
Just as Xue Baoshan was feeling emotional, Li Dayong asked him again: "Is your home close to Wudaogou?"
"It's OK. We are more than 40 miles away from there." Xue Baoshan took a puff of cigarette and asked, "Why? Do you have relatives there?"
"No." Li Dayong said with a smile, "Last year my elder brother went to Wudaogou to hunt tigers, and he wanted to be closer, so he came to see you."
"Your elder brother?" Xue Baoshan frowned, turned his gaze towards Zhao Youcai, and asked, "Wudaogou is looking for you to fight a tiger?"
Zhao Youcai finally waited for this moment. He nodded solemnly and waited for Xue Baoshan to ask further questions.
Xue Baoshan actually asked, but what he asked was: "No? Is there anyone who dares to ask you to go hunting?"
"Huh?" Zhao Youcai was startled, his eyes widened, and he asked, "What do you mean by that? What do you want to talk to me about?"
Xue Baoshan asked in surprise: "I heard that you have knocked down several old cows in this village."
"Fuck you!" Zhao Youcai was instantly furious. He grabbed Xue Baoshan's wrist, pulled him down, and shouted, "Get lost!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Dayong and Wang Qiang rushed forward to pull him.
"What are you doing?" Xue Baoshan said innocently, "Didn't you hit him?"
"Fuck your mother..." Zhao Youcai was furious. Xue Liming hurriedly pulled his father to the ground, while Li Dayong and Wang Qiang desperately held Zhao Youcai.
"Dad, what are you doing?" At this moment, Wang Meilan appeared at the door. With her shout, the room instantly became quiet.
After stopping Zhao Youcai, Wang Meilan smiled at Xue Baoshan and asked, "Brother Shan, is my sister-in-law in your family doing well?"
Visitors are guests, and the Zhao and Xue families are old relatives. Even if Xue Baoshan said something inappropriate, he couldn't just chase him away, right? If he was chased away, how could the Zhao family stay in this village in the future?
Seeing Wang Meilan holding two and a half stacks of big unity in her hand, Xue Baoshan said hurriedly: "Your sister-in-law is not well. She is sick all day long."
"What's wrong?" Wang Meilan asked. Xue Baoshan sighed and said, "We haven't found out what's wrong with you. I just feel uncomfortable all the time. I have to take painkillers every day."
Nowadays, if people in forest areas or rural areas get sick, they rarely go to the hospital. They usually go to a barefoot doctor. If they can see the doctor, they'll see him. If they can't see the doctor, they'll take painkillers.
"Oh." Wang Meilan sighed after hearing this. After expressing some empathy, Wang Meilan stepped forward and placed the two and a half stacks of papers in her hand on the kang table in front of Xue's father and son.
"Brother Xue, this is 2,500 yuan." Wang Meilan said, "Check it out."
"Sister-in-law, what are you still investigating? I can't trust others, so how can I not trust you?" Xue Baoshan said so Wang Meilan hurriedly said: "Brother Xue, you should investigate it quickly. Let's put things aside so that we can talk about it later."
"Well... okay then." After hearing what Wang Meilan said, Xue Baoshan stopped being polite and started counting the money.
After he finished counting, Xue Baoshan nodded to Wang Meilan and said, "Sister-in-law, it's two thousand five, that's right."
"That's fine." Wang Meilan said with a smile, "Brother Shan, sit down. I'll go cook for you."
Wang Meilan's words seemed to indicate that she wanted to keep the guests for dinner. Xue Baoshan got up from the edge of the kang and said, "Sister-in-law, stop working. We are leaving now."
"Ah?" Wang Meilan pretended to be surprised and said, "You finally came here, why do you have to finish your meal before leaving?"
"No, sister-in-law, we are not hungry yet." Xue Baoshan said, "We just found a place to stay in the mountains yesterday. We are exhausted. Let's go back and have a nap."
Since Xue Baoshan had said so, there was no way to keep him here any longer. Wang Meilan went over and pulled Zhao Youcai, signaling him to follow her out to see the guests off.
Zhao Youcai reluctantly stood up and walked out with Wang Meilan, Li Dayong, and Wang Qiang, accompanying Xue's father and son. When they reached the outer room, they saw a dead lynx lying under the fire wall.
It was a large male lynx, which must have weighed more than 90 kilograms when it was alive. The 2,500 yuan that Wang Meilan gave just now was the price for the large lynx.
If it was before the New Year, this lynx would definitely be worth more than this price. But the price of lynx skin dropped, and the first time Zhao Jun went out to sell skins, he spent 3,000 yuan to buy the lynx skin from Xu Changlin, but he didn't sell it and it was a waste of money.
The four of them escorted the Xue father and son out of the house, and happened to meet Han Dachun and Han Daming coming over.
All of them grew up in this village, and the Han brothers also knew Xue Baoshan. After they greeted each other and exchanged pleasantries, the Xue father and son left, and Wang Meilan and the other three warmly invited the Han brothers into the house.
"Dachun, Daming." As soon as she entered the house, Wang Meilan pointed at the lynx under the fire wall and said to the Han brothers, "Look, what is this?"
"Ouch." Although Han Dachun didn't go hiking, how could a man who lived in the forest not recognize this? Han Dachun took one look and said, "Isn't this a tiger cub?"
"It's not small." Han Dachun finished speaking, and then heard Han Daming say: "It must be about 80 or 90 kilograms, right?"
"It must be more than 90 kilograms." Zhao Youcai said: "After opening the chest, draining the blood, and taking the liver and everything else, there is still 80 kilograms."
After Zhao Youcai finished speaking, he invited the two brothers to come into the house and sit on the kang. After they sat down, Zhao Youcai took out a pack of Shilin cigarettes and passed them around.
Everyone smoked a cigarette, and Wang Meilan came in with a teacup and poured water for the Han brothers.
Then, Wang Meilan did not leave, but stayed and asked Han Dachun: "Dachun, can you cook three fresh delicacies?"
"What are you talking about, sister-in-law?" Han Dachun heard this and said with a smile, "How can I not do it?"
"No, sister-in-law?" Although Han Daming called Zhao Youcai "Master", Zhao Jun called him "Uncle", and he also didn't call Wang Meilan "Master's Wife".
At this time, Han Daming interrupted and said to Wang Meilan, "Where can you get eggplants and peppers at this time?"
"I'm in Hebei. Can I park my car and come over here?" Suddenly, a voice sounded at the door, and Zhao Weipeng appeared at the door, followed by Xing San.
"Come on, brother." Zhao Youcai hurriedly asked them to sit down and said, "You two were silent in that room, so I didn't ask you to sit down."
When the Xue family father and son came just now, Zhao Weipeng and Xing San didn't know them, so they didn't come out to join in the fun. At this time, the Han brothers came to study the menu for Zhao Jun's wedding banquet, but these two people wanted to get involved.
Zhao Weipeng sat sideways on the edge of the kang, moved his thick legs onto the kang, took the cigarette handed to him by Zhao Youcai, and asked, "The other day, Da Jiefang came to pull vegetables. If we put two more layers of tarpaulin on them, they won't freeze, right?"
"Come on, brother." Zhao Youcai heard this and hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Don't do that. What are you doing?"
"It's okay, second brother." Without waiting for Zhao Weipeng to speak, Xing San said, "This is the only time for us to get married, so we have to spend money. Um..."
After Xing San finished talking to Zhao Youcai, he turned to Zhao Weipeng and said, "Brother Peng, you've worked hard, you've worked hard. I'll pay for whatever money you need after this."
In the past six months, Xing San has made a lot of money following Zhao Jun. Although he never asked for the money from selling the big skins, he would give money to the old man every time Zhao Jun sold out or during the New Year or other festivals.
Xing San usually had enough food and drink, so he didn't have to worry about anything, and he had no place to spend money. He saved the money Zhao Jun gave him, and he saved more than a thousand.
Hearing what Xing San said, Zhao Weipeng waved his fat hand and said, "Brother, what are you talking about? How can I use you to spend money? Brother, I..."
"Brother! Brother!" Wang Meilan was moved by the conversation between Xing San and Zhao Weipeng, but she still stopped Zhao Weipeng and said, "Sister-in-law didn't mean that. Please listen to me."
Wang Meilan has an extremely high status in this family. After hearing what Wang Meilan said, Xing San and Zhao Weipeng immediately fell silent.
At this time, Wang Meilan turned to Han Dachun and Han Daming and said, "Dachun, Daming, I'm not talking about that Sanxian dish in the city."
The preparation process of Northeastern cuisine is relatively slow, firstly because there are many stews and the stews all need to be boiled down.
Second, there are many dishes with oil, such as sweet and sour pork, stir-fried pork, and three fresh vegetables...
The well-known dish of "Three Fresh Vegetables" is eggplant, potato and pepper, which are fried in oil and then thickened with salty and fresh starch.
Nowadays, only restaurants in cities have local delicacies, and few people in forest areas and rural areas eat this. It's not that it doesn't taste good, but that people think it wastes oil and trouble.
But this method is not traditional. The so-called "three fresh vegetables" means three fresh vegetables grown on the ground. However, eggplant, potato and green pepper are not worthy of the name "three fresh vegetables".
The real three fresh seafoods are tiger, bear and deer. These three fresh seafoods are also called three immortals. This is a traditional dish of the Manchu people, which became popular after the Manchus entered the country and the conditions improved.
This dish is not included in the Manchu-Han Banquet because tiger meat is difficult to prepare. During the Qing Dynasty, only the emperor could eat it.
"Sister-in-law, how have I ever made it?" Han Dachun said with a wry smile, "I've only heard of it, but I've never eaten it."
"It doesn't matter if you haven't eaten it before." Wang Meilan said with a smile: "Let's try it this time."
"Huh?" Everyone was stunned when they heard Wang Meilan's words. Zhao Youcai was the first to react and immediately asked Wang Meilan, "You want to use the tiger cub as a big paw?"
"Ah!" Wang Meilan nodded and said with a smile, "Is it okay?"
"This..." Zhao Youcai blinked his eyes, and his small eyes instantly lit up. He said, "Okay, why not? All we need is a blind bear or a big guy."
When the Zhao family was short of food, they had to either go out to sell it or go into the mountains to get it.
In Zhao Youcai's view, the lack of bear meat and venison at home gave him a good opportunity to go up the mountain.
"No need for blind bears." What Zhao Youcai didn't expect was that Wang Meilan said, "There are several bear paws buried in Dayong's backyard. That big brown bear paw is really big."
"If you use bear paws, when should you boil them?" Zhao Youcai asked. Wang Meilan said, "You can boil them a day in advance. The tendons and bones will be more delicious."
Wang Meilan said so, but what she was thinking about in her heart was what her mother and her sixth aunt had said to her back then.
Wang Meilan was still young that year. When her family was cleaning the house before the New Year, her sixth aunt fried twisted dough sticks deliciously, so she was invited to come over to help fry New Year's goods.
When chatting, Wang Meilan's mother said that she heard it from Wang Meilan's father. She said that in the past, when the emperor got married, he had to eat a dish of three fresh vegetables before the bridal chamber. It was said that this dish was very nutritious and that eating it would help him have children and grandchildren.
To this day, Wang Meilan has never thought that this dish has anything to do with her descendants. But she believes that if the emperor can eat it, then her son can eat it too.
It would have been fine if there was no tiger meat before, but today Xue Baoshan sent a giant lynx, which gave Wang Meilan the idea of using tiger cubs as tiger meat and making a real local delicacy for her son.
It is a pity that Wang Meilan’s love for her parents is rare, but her expectations are destined to be dashed.
Because there are three so-called pure yang bodies in the world, namely: the tiger, the deer, and young men and women who have never eaten meat.
Tiger meat and venison are balanced with bear meat, and stewed into a delicacy can help young men soar to the sky. Lynx meat, I'm afraid, doesn't have that effect...
