It is not easy to traverse the wilderness

Coaxing the baby softly all the way, and walking leisurely home step by step, a black shadow flashed past the door just after entering the door, which startled Song Lai, but the baby happily called "Xiao Xiao." Hearing the baby's voice, that The black shadow stopped, and it really was the little leopard. For some reason, it was not tied up, but was wandering around. "Ann. Tie up Xiaoxiao and give him something to eat. I'm going to sleep. I'm sleepy." After speaking, he went into the room, put the baby on the bed, and then started warm water to bathe the baby , I simply wiped my body and went straight to bed.

When An Ye entered the bedroom, he saw Baby Song Lai lying together and sleeping soundly.Song Lai held the baby in his arms, put one hand under the baby's head so that the baby could rest on his arm, and gently placed the other hand on the baby's body, patting it twice from time to time.There was peace on his face.It seemed to fall asleep, but also seemed to wake up at any time.

Song Lai's brows and eyes have gradually grown during this year. He always complained that he didn't grow taller. In fact, he did grow, but in front of these thick men who were nearly two meters tall, Song Lai's small head became more and more small. It looks petite.A pair of originally agile eyes on the straight bridge of the nose are now closed, and the long eyelashes tremble slightly occasionally.The thin lips have a pink color that people in the tribe don't have, like a delicate red flower.Gently put your hand on his head and rubbed it as usual.In a daze, Song Lai stretched out his hand to grab An Ye's hand, and then held it in his hand without letting go.

The next morning, Song Lai, who was refreshed, walked up to the haggard patriarch and Oss, "Oh, patriarch, I haven't slept all night. Why don't you take a good rest when you are old. Really, the body is not good. The cost of hunting." The patriarch looked at Song Lai, "Hmph." He turned and left. "Oss, what's wrong with the patriarch!" Song Lai asked Aos with an innocent face. "Hey, we're getting old, Song Lai, divide up the rest." After speaking, he turned and left.

Song Lai looked at the piles of offal on the ground, the meat was all divided, but no one wanted the offal, they were all piled up on the ground, and they didn't want it for anyone, saying they couldn't eat it.Just waiting for Song Lai to come and teach everyone how to eat that.Song Lai looked at the ingredients on the ground, took one of each, and then called a few nimble women from the tribe to cook at their home.It happened that I hadn't had breakfast yet.

Before leaving, he ordered Gan Zhi to clean up the cow's head and hooves, and he came back at noon to teach everyone how to do it.Going to the kitchen of his home, Song Lai was the first to cook beef intestines and stew the particularly fatty parts. It stands to reason that this kind of thing is the best braised, but who made us poor now that there is no soy sauce.So I chose clear stew, followed by beef heart, peeled off the heart, washed off the blood, and then cut into slices and stir-fried.The beef heart is crispy and tender, and it is a good ingredient with full toughness.

Then deal with the beef kidney, first put the kidney on the chopping board, and then peel off the outer layer of fascia. Beef kidneys are different from pork kidneys. Pig kidneys are smoother, while cow kidneys are as thick as dry and cracked land. Lots of ticks.Remove the fascia and cut it in half, remove the white and dark red parts inside, wash the kidney, then cut it into kidney flowers, blanch it in boiling water, then drain the water and stir-fry with cucumber.

Wash the lungs and cut them into small thin strips, then wash them again, drain the water and fry them in the pan until each small lung strips are dry, sprinkle salt and take out the pan.The last is the blinds, this is a good thing.First cut the onion into shreds, put them in cold water, then cut the venetian leaves into shreds of the same size, roast the peppercorns in a pan until they are crispy, then pound them into powder with a pestle and mortar, and mix them with the venetian onions and salt, the sesame is tender and crisp , I almost swallowed it with my tongue.

At this time, the stewed beef intestines are basically ready to be cooked.Soft, glutinous, fragrant and chewy, um, it’s not bad. Song Lai didn’t move the remaining bitter intestines. He just told everyone that this intestines will be used in the afternoon. In the morning, everyone will cook the hidden internal organs first.Set aside some of each dish and ask them to take the rest.Call An Ye and Bao Bao over for dinner, and give Xiao Xiao the rest of the meal.

At noon, Song Lai discovered another delicacy, ox tail.After the tribesman skinned the ox, he chopped off the tail of the ox and folded it on the skin at the root of the tail. This is simply a shameful waste.Song Lai told An Ye to collect and skin all the tails of the cows, and made a full wicker basket, but there was no refrigerator to store them for a long time, so he had to keep some for himself, and then started to distribute them next to each other.

As a result, I had an extra meal of oxtail soup for lunch.The oxtail that has been simmering for noon has almost melted into the soup. The milky white soup is thick and fragrant. After taking a sip, it warms from the mouth all the way to the stomach, and the whole person is surrounded by the strong fragrance.It feels so good to be warm.Song Lai was enjoying with his eyes closed, when he was suddenly kicked by someone, and he looked back at the angry look on the patriarch's face standing beside him, "I don't know how to share the good things, so I just eat alone, isn't that bad? "" "This is the ox tail you don't want, it's not a good thing." "Come on, I'm not so easy to fool. What did you take home yesterday." The patriarch asked Song firmly and directly Lai.

"Oh that, I'll tell you when I'm done. With this, we won't be afraid of anyone." Song Lai said confidently, "But it will take a long time, maybe a year or two." "It's okay , we can wait." The patriarch patted Song Lai on the shoulder in relief and walked away, but turned around after taking two steps, "By the way, I'm here to ask you what to do if you have too much meat. The rainy season is coming soon. I can't stand it." The patriarch said to Song Lai with some melancholy, "What did you do before?" The patriarch squinted at Song Lai.After Song Lai asked, he regretted it, obviously he didn't have such extravagant troubles before. "I've already figured out what to do, don't worry." Song Lai replied casually.

After lunch, Song Lai began to convene people to deal with the extra meat. First, he chopped some of the meat into small pieces, and then chopped some into fine pieces. Then he mixed them with salt and pepper, and added some lotus root starch. One end is fastened with hide.Use a bamboo tube at the other end to pour the mixed minced meat into it.After filling all the bitter intestines, put water in the pottery pot, put the intestines in when the water is slightly warm, cook for a while until the water in the pot boils, then take out the intestines and hang them on the edge of the campfire for fumigation.

Even so, there are still a lot of beef and beef sausages that have no place to dry, and the rainy season is coming, Song Lai feels that he should hurry up, the cowhide hasn't been processed yet.

In the evening Song Lai found the patriarch, "Recently, the pottery in the tribe doesn't seem to be enough, let's burn a batch of pottery, and then dry the beef near the pottery kiln." Song Lai's proposal was approved, and it took you two days It's time to make branches and prepare pottery.But it takes about three or four days for pottery to dry in the shade, so Song Laij took this time to process the cowhide.

The cowhide was distributed to each family for them to tan by themselves, and Song Lai was also divided into three. Song Lai planned to use one to cover the windows, one to block the door, and the last one to make a bed.In the past, I always heard that cowhide can be peeled, that is, a few pieces of cowhide can be peeled out, but I don’t know the process, otherwise I can really use cowhide to make some clothes or something. The leather on the cow’s legs is too small. People want, Song Lai wants to come, let An Ye tan together, next year the baby will be able to walk on the ground.Song Lai planned to make some pairs of shoes for her from these small pieces of leather.

The people of the tribe removed the meat and tendons from the beef leg bone, and then planned to throw away the bare leg bone. Song Ling immediately asked for the leg bone, not to mention the bone marrow inside is a great delicacy , even the outer bone is extremely hard, it can't be better to use it to grind a bone needle.In this place where materials are extremely poor, Song Lai wished he could find a way for them to throw away everything.

The night slowly fell, and the whole tribe returned to calm. After several days of hard work, the bison from hunting had basically been taken care of. Song Lai took a leisurely walk by the central lake to see if there was anything left unpacked. After all, here It's the closest to my home, if I don't clean it up, I will be the one who suffers.

Song Lai kept some of the bison's picked bones and planned to smash them up and feed them to the waterfowl. All the waterfowl in the big lake had already disappeared. The waterfowl he raised in the central lake have been very irritable these days.Always wanting to fly out of the beast net, Song Lai was afraid that the big bird would have a bad influence on the little bird, so he reluctantly killed the two big birds, leaving only three young birds that were just born this year.These three baby birds are silly, and although they are a little unstable at the moment, they are much better than their parents.There have been no signs of self-harm since childhood.

Walking past the waterfowl shed, there is a small pile of things in front of it. Hey, the ancients were unreliable in cleaning up. I told them to clean up and left me a tail. I walked in and took a closer look. Hey, it really is The tail was originally the outer skin of the ox tail. The people of the tribe knew that the ox tail was delicious, so they directly peeled off the skin and took the meat away, but the skin remained here.

Song Lai reached out and picked up a few, hey, the tail hair of this cow is obviously longer than the tail hairs of those cows he has seen before, it almost catches up with the horse, take such long hair back and weave a rope or something It's good to use, he got up and went to find a wicker basket, put all these tails in the basket and took it home.An Ye happened to be making dinner, and Song Lai was sitting in the kitchen, brushing the hair off the ox's tail by the light of the stove.

He first cut off the hair on the tail of an ox at the longest place, and then gradually untied the tangled hair, and smoothed it out little by little.Then fasten one end with animal hide to form a ponytail shape.Then the next one, Song Lai regretted taking this thing to the room after not getting a few.Because from time to time, something unexpected can always fall out of the cow's tail, such as bugs, grass, stones, and even animal teeth. Did you drop it when you gnawed on the butt? !

Just as Song Lai couldn't laugh or cry, he put the finished one aside.When he took the other one to look at it, there was a flash of red, hey~ what, he curiously pulled out the tangled cow hair.Seeing what was in front of him clearly, Song Lai jumped up.

An Ye hurried over to help him, Song Lai was just messing around with the ox hair, and teased himself that the ox tail had all the ox hair alive and dead like a small bag.Why did he suddenly jump up as if he was frightened? "Have you been bitten by a bug?" An Ye asked softly with some amusement.

Song Lai didn't answer him, but held the oxtail firmly in his hand, and took out the red fruit almost reverently. Song Lai, who was usually a bit of a clean freak in An Ye's eyes, actually put the fruit in his mouth directly. Then he took a small bite carefully.

"Ah~~~~~~~! Oh, it's spicy, it's so spicy, it's watery~~" An Ye saw Song Lai bit the red fruit in his hand, and then jumped up even more violently, At the same time, screams continued from his mouth.Hearing that he seemed to be asking for water, An Ye turned around and brought him a bowl of water. He hurriedly took a sip, but spit it out before swallowing it. "Ah~~~~ No way~~~" Then he staggered to the side of the bowl shelf and quickly pulled out a clay pot, grabbed a handful of yellowish crystals, put them in his mouth, and chewed fiercely .It was something called candy made by Song Lai, it was very sweet to eat.

Song Lai let out a long sigh of relief.Then he looked at An Ye and smirked.
