Chapter 1504: Roasted Roe Deer and Stuffed Sausages on the First Day of the New Year

Today is the first day of the new year. It is not the day for married girls to return to their parents' home, nor is it the time to visit relatives and friends.

Most of the people gathered in the Zhao family were chatting, eating melon seeds, and watching TV in the east room.

They were watching the Spring Festival Gala, which was broadcast live last night and replayed today.

Zhao Jun, Zhang Yuanmin, Li Baoyu and Ma Yang were setting off firecrackers outside. Li Ruhai should have been there, but the storytelling and crosstalk at the gala yesterday had a great impact on him, so the child stayed in front of the TV early this morning to watch the replay.

Zhao Jun and the other four played with the firecrackers outside. The dog food bowl that was blown up by Hei Hu yesterday flew into the sky countless times, and now there is a big hole in the bottom, which can no longer be repaired.

After breaking the dog bowl, the four people set their sights on the cart in the backyard of the village.

The firecrackers these days are really powerful.

The cart was turned upside down, and the firecrackers were placed underneath. The first explosion of the fuse caused the cart to fly up half a meter.

The firecrackers that jumped up were still caught by the cart that fell down. When the second explosion occurred, the cart was directly flipped over.

Seeing that it was past ten o'clock, Zhao Jun gave all the remaining firecrackers to Ma Yang, and told him to stay away from the firewood pile and the ice when playing, not to hurt others or himself, and to pay attention to safety.

Then, Zhao Jun, Zhang Yuanmin and Li Baoyu went to Wang Qiang's house and tied a roe deer from the backyard and took it home.

The roe deer entered the yard, Zhao Jun held firewood to light the stove outside the house, Zhang Yuanmin went to press water, and Li Baoyu hung the roe deer upside down.

At this time, Wang Meilan came out of the house, but was persuaded by Zhao Jun to go back. The three brothers killed the roe deer without anyone else doing anything. But the roe deer that had their necks cut and bled died in agony, and it was better to die under Wang Meilan's hammer.

After boiling water, removing the roe deer's hair, opening the stomach and taking out the lantern hanging, Zhao Jun only kept the roe deer's intestines and distributed the rest of the internal organs to the dogs in the expectant eyes of Heihu and other dogs.

Although there were not many, the dogs in both courtyards could get a bite.

The roe deer intestines that were repeatedly washed with hot water were sent into the house together with four roe deer legs. The remaining roe deer's head was chopped off, and then the skin and flesh were cut open with a knife at the spine, neck, and ribs.

At this time, Zhang Yuanmin came out with two large bowls filled with soy sauce, salt, and white wine.

The seasoning was applied to the inside and outside of the roe deer, and then the whole roe deer was propped up with a welded iron rack and sent to the oven in the west courtyard for roasting.

This oven was designed and built by Zhang Yuanmin. It is made of red bricks, with an oven on top and a firewood pit on the bottom.

The oven also has a door, which is made of a large iron plate. Two handles are welded on the iron plate, which is very convenient to open and close with gloves on.

After a bundle of firewood is burned in the fire pit below, the residual heat is enough to bake the roe deer in the closed oven.

This roe deer is not big. After removing the hair, the head, internal organs and limbs are removed, and the meat and bones are left, which is about 20 kilograms.

If you bake it this way, the fire is not too fast and it will not burn. But if you want to bake it thoroughly and cooked, it will take at least an hour.

After stuffing the firewood, Zhao Jun and the other two went into the house. Except for the New Year's Eve dinner yesterday, the rest of the New Year's Eve dinner is two meals. In addition to breakfast today, there is another meal at around 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

It's not even 11:30 now, but Wang Meilan, Jin Xiaomei and others are already busy.

The door of the west room of the Zhao family was closed, and there was a constant "clang clang" sound coming from the room.

Zhao Jun went over and pushed the door open. The room was like a canteen or a restaurant's kitchen.

On the hardwood table against the wall and the kang table on the kang, Wang Meilan, Jin Xiaomei, Zhao Ling, Lin Xue, and Xu Chunyan were each guarding a basswood chopping board, chopping meat.

The meat was cut from the legs of roe deer and pork front trough meat.

Zhao Jun took a look, then stepped out and closed the door. The door of this room was closed because he didn't want to affect the TV watching in the east room.

Zhao Jun turned around and walked to the east room, and saw two basins on the stove.

The two basins were filled with roe deer intestines. The small basin was filled with the freshly killed roe deer intestines.

The large basin was filled with slowly thawing frozen roe deer intestines.

Two days before the New Year, the Zhao family father and son took turns to lead people, dogs, and cars to the mountains to hunt roe deer.

In those two days, a total of 25 roe deer were caught, of which 10 were dead and 15 were alive.

The intestines of the dead roe deer were kept according to Wang Meilan's request, saying that they would be stuffed into sausages.

I was busy before the New Year and didn't have time to spare. Since there was nothing to do during the New Year, Wang Meilan led people to stuff sausages.

In Heilongjiang Province, red sausage and air-dried sausage are special products.

When making sausages at home, they are usually steamed after stuffing.

But the Zhao family planned to roast the stuffed sausages like those old brands.

The roasted sausages taste fresh. These people are tired of eating big fish and big meat, so they want to change their taste.

When Zhao Jun entered the east room, he heard Li Baoyu talking about Li Ruhai, saying, "Look at his performance, and then look at your performance on stage. You think it's pretty good."

After saying that, Li Baoyu also squinted at Li Ruhai.

After hearing what his eldest brother said, Li Dayong quite agreed. On the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, the forest farm held a work summary meeting in the morning, lunch in the cafeteria at noon, and a party in the afternoon.

After the party, when they were on the commuter bus going home, someone told Li Dayong that they felt it was boring without Li Ruhai at the party.

The person who said this was rolled his eyes by Li Dayong. That was the time when they were interesting, and Li Dayong felt ashamed.

The disdain in Li Baoyu's eyes did not hurt the grown-up Li Ruhai. Li Ruhai glanced at Zhao Jun who entered the room, and then said to Li Baoyu, "Isn't it our eldest brother who let me perform on stage?"

Li Ruhai was stunned by the question, and then he heard Li Ruhai ask, "What's wrong? Is it wrong for our elder brother to give in?"

When it comes to Zhao Jun, Li Baoyu was a little panicked in an instant. He also glanced at Zhao Jun, hurriedly questioned Li Ruhai, and said, "That Xiao Bajie was also what our elder brother asked you to make fun of?"

Li Baoyu's words made everyone amused, but it was not Li Ruhai who was amused by everyone.

Li Baoyu, who was angry and embarrassed, pulled Li Ruhai, who laughed loudly, and then strangled Li Ruhai's neck with his arm.

"Okay, okay, I'm convinced." Li Ruhai tweeted Li Baoyu's arm twice as if coaxing a child and said, "Spread me away quickly, I won't talk about you in the future."

After hearing what he said, Li Baoyu pushed him away.

Zhao Jun sat sideways on the edge of the kang and saw Zhao Youcai holding Xiao Hei Pang. The fat dog was facing the little lynx in Zhao Youcai's arms, and the tips of the noses of the dog and the lynx were almost stuck together.

But they are quite friendly and do not grin and cause disputes.

Seeing Zhao Jun sit down, the little lynx turned around, tilted his head and rubbed his ear against Zhao Jun's arm.

Before Zhao Jun could respond, he quickly took the little lynx away with his small hands.

"Hahaha..." Zhao Hong held the little lynx in her arms, then rubbed the back of the head and neck with her face. The little lynx let out a "scream" scream, and her face was again made by Li Xiaoqiao pinched it.

"Look at this fat face." Li Xiaoqiao, who had her cheeks bulging, described the little lynx like this, and Li Tongyun next to him touched the little lynx's ears, and then scratched the little lynx's chin.

"I'm not fat." The old lady continued while cutting peanut shells with her hands, saying, "I've eaten it every day, and I've eaten enough roe deer meat in these two days."

Maybe he was old, and the old lady shook her hands and one of the four peanuts fell off.

If the peanuts fell to the ground before, the old lady would have to find them, pick them up and put them in her mouth.

Now, the peanut kernels fell on the kang, but the old lady couldn't even look for them.

People of such an old age will not forget to work hard because their conditions have improved.

The old lady didn't pick it up because a "little black hand" popped out from under the kang table and pulled the peanut kernel to her.

Then, a flat head with round ears poked out, tilted his head and stuck his tongue to lick the peanut into his mouth.

Zhao Jun glanced at the little black bear who was picking up the bargain, then turned to look at the small bowl placed on the table against the wall.

There were a few pieces of roe deer meat in the small bowl, and the house was burned with kang and fire walls. It was hot and dry, which made the surface of the roe deer meat a little air-dried.

"Oh my god!" Zhao Jun took the small bowl, looked at the little lynx in surprise, and said, "Don't you eat roe deer meat?"

The little lynx couldn't understand such complicated words, but when he saw Zhao Jun looking at it, it wanted to struggle out of Zhao Hong's arms.

"Your mother is just messing around." Zhao Youcai answered and said, "You are just messing around."

It’s really not Wang Meilan’s fault. In the past few days when the four families killed pigs, all the lards they picked were boiled.

Last year, I boiled oil, and some people still ate the oil shuttle. Sprinkle some salt noodles, and the children still grab it. But this year, no one moved at all.

Most of the oil shuttles from Zhao Jun’s house were given to the East Courtyard by Wang Meilan. She fed the little black bear two pieces and grinned for the rest.

Ordinary animals grind, they are so beautiful and happy.

Seeing this, Zhao Hong fed the little lynx with the oil shuttle.

The little lynx is different from the little black bear. The black bear is an omnivorous animal, while the lynx is a pure carnivorous animal.

Since one month old, the little lynx has stopped eating cooked food.

Zhao Hong also owe the child, and the little lynx doesn't eat it, so she forced her mouth to stuff it. This piece was eaten by the little lynx, and his eyes became rounded from the moment they grew, and then he grabbed Zhao Hong's arm and asked for a shuttle.

After eating a few pieces of oil shuttle, I made this little guy greedy.

After Zhao Jun knew about it, he strictly ordered that the little lynx oil shuttle should not be fed again. Although he no longer pointed out that the little lynx could enter the mountains to catch a siege, wouldn’t it be fun to take it out and catch a pheasant or a hare in the fields?

Seeing that Zhao Jun was not speaking, Zhao Youcai touched the fat black in his arms and said, "I have to give those three bastards away, otherwise how good is this nest?"

When Zhao Youcai mentioned this, he got angry. When the bear had a baby, Ma Ling and Wang Qiang all wanted a baby, but Zhao Youcai didn't give it to him. As a result, Huang Gui took three away.

Zhao Jun pulled the corner of his mouth, and he didn't say anything, but he remembered something. He also promised Wei Lai that he would get half a big puppy for Wei Lai.

"Brother." Zhao Jun looked at Zhang Yuanmin and asked, "You go to Yongfu, see if there are half a big puppy there?"

"No." Zhang Yuanmin shook his head and said, "There are not many serious dog-beating people near our forest farm."

"Tsk!" Zhao Jun slashed his mouth and said, "What's wrong with that?"

As he said that, Zhao Jun looked out the window and said, "There are only two bastards."

"Go up there!" Zhao Youcai reacted quickly, and immediately looked up and said to Zhao Jun, "Don't worry about my pussy."

"Haha..." Zhao Jun smiled and said, "No, I'll go find Du Zhutou and ask him to buy me a few dogs in Lingnan."

"Okay, brother." Li Baoyu said, "If you spend some money, just spend some money. We have a lot of things to do next year, so no one can drag him that bastard."

"Yeah." Zhao Jun responded. As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ruhai asked Zhao Jun, "Brother, we will have a meeting tonight, what's the matter?"

"It's about arranging the work for the new year." As soon as Zhao Jun said this, Li Baoyu pulled Li Ruhai aside and said, "What do you mean by we have a meeting?"

"Ah?" Li Ruhai was startled, and then he heard Li Baoyu say, "Did they say they would take you? That's our meeting!"

"What are you talking about?" Li Ruhai's face darkened, and he said, "Didn't I negotiate the business for the first trip to Hebei?"

After hearing what Li Ruhai said, Li Baoyu kept silent.

This is true. The business of the ten or eight villages in Yong'an Forest District was really arranged by Li Ruhai.

In terms of contribution, Li Ruhai is definitely the first. After thirty or forty years, any boss in the company will have to support such a salesman.

As for Li Ruhai, not only did he not get any commission from the Zhao's Chamber of Commerce, but he also paid for the carriage and horse expenses for hiring Wang Fu's sled and the food expenses for buying bald cakes out of his own pocket.

"Li Er is good at this." It was Xing San who spoke for Li Ruhai. He pointed at Li Ruhai and said, "You are just too young to run away from the mountains. How about I take you to the mountains in the spring to meet those old mountain dogs."

"Stop it, Third Uncle." Zhao Jun heard this and hurriedly stopped Xing San and said, "Today our name has been spread. They spread it from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Next year, when those people want to sell things, they will come by themselves."

"Brother!" Hearing what Zhao Jun said, Li Ruhai hurriedly said, "Then you can't just kill the donkey after it has done its work."

"No, Ruhai." Zhao Jun hurriedly comforted Li Ruhai and said, "When did we have a meeting without you?"

After saying this, Zhao Jun persuaded Li Ruhai again, "That's it. What secrets are we talking about? Just don't go out and tell them."

"That can't be done!" Li Ruhai waved his hand and said, "Then wouldn't I be a fool?"

After Li Ruhai finished speaking, he saw that everyone around him looked at him with a strange look.

"I really won't tell you!" Li Ruhai said, "I've changed now!"

But even if he said that, the eyes of the people around him were still full of doubt.

"Ruhai!" Zhao Jun raised his hand, pressed it down towards Li Ruhai, and said, "Brother believes in you, our Ruhai doesn't run away much now!"

"That's right!" Li Ruhai looked at Zhao Jun gratefully. Among these people, only Zhao Jun believed him.

"My son is different now." Li Dayong suddenly spoke, and after attracting everyone's attention, Li Dayong smiled and said, "He wears different clothes."

Everyone laughed, and the old lady also said, "Our Ruhai can stay at home now. During the first few days of the New Year, he will help us with work at home."

"Yeah!" Hearing the old lady testify for him, Li Ruhai nodded heavily.

"Yeah!" Seeing the wind direction change, Li Xiaoqiao said crisply: "My little brother is not going out to talk nonsense now... No..."

Halfway through his words, Li Xiaoqiao quickly changed his words: "Not going out to talk nonsense anymore!"

"Haha..." Amid the laughter of the crowd, Li Ruhai rolled his eyes at Li Xiaoqiao.

Yesterday's chapter was 2,000 words, and I owe 2,000 words. I will make up a chapter of 4,000 words tomorrow at noon!
