Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

Mu Xi was worried that Zhao Yeqing was alone on the meadow, so he pulled her on Xiaohong and went back to drag the cart out.

Xiaohong was a little afraid of the wolf's corpse. She stamped her horse's hooves and snorted, breathing heavily.

After comforting them for a while, Mu Xi placed the bodies of the wolf and the sheep on the cart.

The sheep are no longer allowed to be herded, and the dogs are brought back first when called.

The cows were grazing near the wheat field. When the two of them remembered it, the cows took steps into the pasture again.

Compared with the previous encounter with the wolf, the cow was just eating grass, and Zhao Yeqing's heart was not shaken at all.

Counting the time, it’s time to harvest this crop of ryegrass.

After taking the cow back, the two of them discussed that it was only noon now, so they might as well take the pasture back today. The wolf was injured and should not appear again today.

After unloading the sheep and wolves and putting them at home, she hesitated, "But if the sheep and wolves are not treated while they are hot, skinning and bleeding will become troublesome."

She has never eaten wolf meat, and she doesn't know how to handle it. Sheep is okay. She has never killed a sheep, and at least she has seen others kill sheep.

"Don't rush for a day or two, just take things slowly." Mu Xi held her hand and rubbed her palm.

It was somewhat comforting. After meeting the wolf today, Zhao Yeqing was a little anxious, his nerves were a little tense, and he wanted to get things done quickly.

Zhao Yeqing shook his hand. She was really afraid that the wolf would come back, so she wanted to do it quickly.

If you feel calm, wait until tomorrow to go out and mow the grass.

The wolf asked Mu Xi to take care of it while she took care of the sheep.

The sheep was bitten on the neck and its skin was still intact. Zhao Yeqing pulled out a knife that the previous owner of the cabin used to skin the sheep. The knife was very narrow, narrower than an ordinary fruit knife.

The blade has a slight curvature, and it feels good in the hand.

But it was a little dull, so she took the whetstone out from under the cupboard and started sharpening it.

Many cities in the south are not like the northwest and grasslands. The mutton they eat is with the skin on, and the sheepskin is soft and waxy after being stewed.

I heard that in the northwest and Mongolian grasslands, sheep are killed without leaving their skins. The sheepskins are used to make clothes or sold.

She also wanted to try it and made sheepskin herself to make clothes or mattresses.

The wolf had bitten the sheep's skin and trachea, and the blood in its body had not yet been drained.

Zhao Yeqing squatted in front of the sheep, holding books and notes in his hands, studying how to peel the sheep's skin.

The knife in his hand was hanging in the air over the sheep's body, but he still didn't dare to cut it.

There are some discrepancies between the records in the notes and books. They are roughly the same but slightly different in small places.

After reading all the information, she synthesized it in her mind and selected the most suitable plan to implement.

The notes advocate cutting from the tail of the sheep and making a vertical incision to the lower jaw of the sheep.

But the sheep's neck had been bitten by the wolf. According to the book, we should first make a slit on the sheep's neck, cut the trachea and blood vessels, drain the blood and then skin it.

The knife only needs to be used to cut the skin. The peeling work does not require a knife, it is done purely by hand.

She put a metal basin on the ground, lifted the sheep to the bench, and cut the sheep's blood vessels with a knife.

The warm sheep blood flowed into the basin. When the blood was empty, he took the basin into the kitchen and added a ladle of water and two spoons of salt to it.

After draining the sheep's blood, start processing the sheepskin. Cut the sheepskin from top to bottom, and also scratch the skin of the sheep's hooves. Then use the skin from the chest area, use a knife to peel five or six centimeters wide inside, and the remaining There is almost no need to use a knife in this step.

Zhao Yeqing put down the knife in his hand, grabbed the edge of the sheepskin with his left hand, made a fist with his right hand and beat the sheep's flesh, and pulled it away with his left hand at the same time.

She watched as the skin and flesh of the sheepskin in her hand separated bit by bit under the simultaneous action of pulling force and hammering force. Slowly, half of the sheepskin was stripped of its flesh.

Zhao Yeqing felt a great sense of accomplishment, "Look!"

Mu Xi gave a thumbs up, "Are you tired? Why don't you do it for me instead?"

In this weather, there was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.

It is indeed a bit tiring, but it is also quite fun.

Zhao Yeqing shook his head, "I can do it, do you want to try it?"

Seeing that she was having fun, Mu Xi didn't interrupt, "You do it first. Next time you kill the sheep, you can teach me."

After resting for a while, Zhao Yeqing got up in high spirits and peeled off the other half of the sheepskin in the same way.

The sheep were handled on a wooden table, which was also used by the original owner to handle the sheep.

The mutton was also cut up here. Zhao Yeqing had no experience in dismembering such a large animal, so he left it alone until Mu Xi had finished handling the wolf. She also learned from the side.

When Mu Xi dealt with the wolf, he did not put the wolf on the table, but hung it up like a wild boar.

The peeling of wolf skin is more delicate than that of sheep skin.

Mu Xi started from the wolf's legs, cut the skin, and then carefully peeled off the skin of the wolf's tail with a knife.

After the wolf is skinned, there is not much meat left, and the entire skeleton does not look much bigger than a dog.

Mu Xi took a knife and cut apart the two animals. He filled two large pots with mutton and another pot with wolf meat.

Zhao Yeqing has already planned tonight's menu in his mind.

“How about water mutton and roast mutton?”

Her words were clearly affirmative, and Mu Xi nodded cooperatively, "I think it's good."

The mutton is stewed with white radish in water. When Mu Xi decomposes the mutton, he specially leaves the mutton chops. The mutton legs are not divided into small pieces and can also be grilled and eaten.

Zhao Yeqing opened the plastic bag of spices hanging on the wall and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was cumin inside.

Roast lamb has no soul without cumin.

The lamb legs have been marinated for too long, so I will eat the lamb chops first today.

The lamb chops have to be marinated with seasonings and spices for half an hour, and the mutton also needs to be cooked for a while.

Mu Xi was a little confused about where to start with the wolf meat.

He lowered his head and smelled it. The meat had the fishy smell of wild carnivores and had to be blanched in water first.

I plan to try the method of boiling wild boar meat, adding enough spices to cover up the fishy smell.

When Gouchou and Xuebing came back, the yard was filled with the bloody smell of wolves and sheep, and two leopards suddenly exploded outside the yard.

Zhao Yeqing was holding the freshly pulled onions and garlic in his hand. When he walked from the vegetable field to the kitchen, he saw it and waved to the two, who walked in hesitantly.

After cutting a piece of wolf leg meat and handing it to their mouths, they relaxed completely.

He opened his mouth and ate the leg meat. He seemed to like it very much. He looked up at her and expressed that he still wanted to eat it.

Zhao Yeqing didn't have much interest in eating wolf meat, and Mu Xi only cooked a little bit, and she planned to use the rest to feed the leopards and dogs at home.

Wild animals have not been inspected and quarantined, so it is best to eat them cooked.

Leopards can be fed raw meat, but it is best not for dogs to eat raw meat. Zhao Yeqing took down the pot where the mutton was boiling, put it in another pot, added water to the pot, and threw the wolf meat into it.

"rhubarb!"
