Chapter 566 Tiger Bone Wine
The old man was very disgusted and said, "Just throw this thing away, throw it into the back hill and let the wild beasts eat it."
Zhou Guo stopped him, saying, "No, no, we won't eat it. Maybe Hei Dadan will find it delicious. Let's leave it for Hei Dadan to eat!"
Zhou Mai smiled and said, "Although Heidao is a dog, he has the most sensitive nose. He can smell this smell even stronger than us. Are you sure he wants to eat it?"
"Yes." Everyone nodded. Although Heidadan is a dog, he is not stupid. Does he want to eat this naughty fox?
Zhou Guo was speechless. "Just keep it for now. I'll fry it tomorrow and see if it eats it. If it doesn't, I can throw it away. If it really doesn't work, I'll take it to the pharmacy and sell it. I can't throw it away anyway. Besides, it even eats shit."
Everyone was speechless.
Zhou Su nodded repeatedly, "Yes, it was hard to hunt this one, it's this big, enough for several meals!"
Our family has gotten better off in the past two years and we have had plenty of good food. Who would want to eat this? If no one wants to eat it, then I can only throw it away.
After hearing Zhou Su's words, everyone fell silent. It seemed that having too many good days was not good. They almost forgot the days when they didn't have enough food to eat. If there was meat to eat, let alone fox meat, they would even eat rats without batting an eyelid.
Zhou Dacang spoke at the right time and said to Zhou Su: "Come, give me a pair of chopsticks so I can try it."
The two little guys' barbecue skills have improved by leaps and bounds in recent years. When Zhou Guo and others are not free, they get bored and take out the meat and find a piece of land outside to barbecue and cook. While they are cooking, the children in the village smell the aroma and come over.
Life in the village has improved in the past two years. It is no longer like before when we were hungry and could only eat wild vegetables when cooking outside.
Every family can afford something now. A handful of vegetables, a few eggs, two cakes, oil, salt, or even a small piece of meat can be taken out, and parents will not say anything. After all, it's not like the family can't afford these things.
If the children want to play, let them play. Anyway, they bring food and their own children can also eat.
Every time the barbecue job naturally fell on the three of them, because they brought more seasonings and meat, and the barbecued meat tasted the best.
After a while, my skills got better and better.
Zhou Dacang ate a piece of roasted venison and nodded, "Not bad, not bad, really good, you two still have this skill now?"
Zhou Su smiled and said, "Uncle, I am now the best barbecue expert in the family. My mother's barbecue is not as good as mine. I will grill for you tomorrow."
Zhou Guo was picking the bones, and the smell made him very greedy. He threw away the knife and said, "Master, let's go and eat some meat. We can come back to work after we are full."
The old man stood up decisively. He hadn't eaten venison for a long time.
Li and the others also came over.
After washing their hands, the group sat in the yard and started eating the delicious barbecue. Zhou Guo also brought out a pot of Lihuabai tea from the old man's room and poured a glass for everyone. Of course, Zhou Dacang, Zhou Suli and Li Lai did not get any.
Li and Zhou Xing couldn't drink much either, so they only poured a little. They still couldn't drink the wine, and felt that it was not as delicious as tea. They didn't know why the old man liked it so much.
Zhou Guo poured himself a full cup. He had been out a lot in the past two years, so his alcohol tolerance naturally improved. He could drink half a pot of wine like Lihuabai at a time, and after that he could only go to sleep.
The family, dressed warmly, sat in the snow, eating roasted venison and drinking a glass of wine, talking and laughing. They lived a very comfortable life.
Zhou Dacang had a smile on his face the whole time. He didn’t know whether his original decision was right or not. Such a scene was a rare luxury for him. The joy and satisfaction in his heart was about to overflow.
It’s good to have the family around.
After eating the barbecue, the group of people were busy for more than half an hour before they prepared all the meat, cleaned the yard, and hung the meat under the kitchen porch. In this weather, the meat would probably freeze in one day and one night, and could be kept for the whole winter and eaten slowly.
The next day, Zhou Guo went to the mountains after breakfast and wandered around. Seeing that everywhere was good, he arranged today's affairs and came back with Hei Dadan.
It now spends most of the day in the mountains. I don’t know if it’s more lively there, and sometimes it doesn’t even go home.
She found an old clay pot, built a fire in the yard, put pieces of fox meat into the pot to cook, added a few drops of wine, and skimmed off the blood foam.
After it's cooked, take it out, slice it and slowly dry it in a ceramic pot. Nothing else is added except some pine mushroom powder.
After it was dried, I scooped up a piece and smelled it, frowning. It still had a smell, so I really didn't want to eat it, so I threw it to Hei Dabing who was standing beside me with his head down.
Hei Dadan was originally lying down, but when he saw a piece of meat falling from the sky, he stood up with his head erect, looked at the piece of meat on the ground, then looked at Zhou Guo, opened his mouth wide, and ate it in one bite.
It tasted delicious and even licked the ground after eating.
Zhou Guo smiled, "They all said you liked to eat it, but they just didn't believe it. Come on, eat a few more pieces, and these are all yours."
After throwing several pieces in a row, Hei Dadan lowered his head and looked at the slices of meat on the ground. He no longer lay down, but stood up and started eating with his head down, without ever raising his head.
Seeing that it liked it so much, she put the dried meat slices in the pot into an abandoned jar. There was still most of the fox meat left that had not been cooked, so she threw it all into the ceramic pot, boiled it, and then dried it.
Although the fox is not big, if you slice and dry all of it, it will fill up half a jar. If you put a few pieces of meat in its bowl every day during mealtime, it will be able to eat for half a month.
Finally, the bones were boiled in a clay pot and placed in its rice bowl.
Hei Dadan whined with joy and circled around the bowl.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Eat it. You can eat it all in one go."
Hei Dadan held the bone and started chewing it.
The old man was processing the skin in the corridor. Seeing this, he smiled and said, "It really eats it."
I didn’t really eat it, but I quite like it.
After processing the fox meat, Zhou Guo began to process the tiger bones. Some medicinal herbs were needed to make tiger bone wine. The old doctor had already told him and also told him how to make it. Of course, it was the old man who asked.
Li also came to help.
Zhou Guo originally wanted to take Tiger Gall to a pharmacy to sell it, but the old man felt that it was not worth it to go to the pharmacy specifically for such a small thing and endure such a heavy punishment on the way.
Zhou Dacang actually ate it.
Zhou Dacang was also obedient and ate what he was told. He was a patient anyway, and tiger gall was a good thing. Maybe he would get better faster.
The tiger bones were put into the pot, and Zhou Guo brought out fifteen or sixteen jars from the house. If there was one thing that the family had the most of, it would be these jars and pots, of which there were plenty.
Zhou Dacang also came to take a look on the way, wondering whether he should take a jar of wine with him when he returned to the camp. The old doctor regarded that jar of wine as his lifeblood, and normally no one would be able to get a few sips from it.
By the time everything was done, it was already afternoon.
Zhou Guo placed these dozen or so jars in the attic. These were the treasures of the family. When fleeing, the first thing people would take away besides food would be these jars of wine.
Zhou Dacang followed him up to the attic and looked around. He said, "This attic is really well built. In addition to storing sundries, it can also be used as a place for living if it's tidied up."
Zhou Guo said, "Forget it. The house is too short to build a loft. It's good like this now."
