living in a mountain village

Chapter 54 The Treehouse in the Forest

After Lin Hao did some preliminary work, he began to teach Mo Qian how to smoke bacon.However, due to insufficient materials, Lin Hao contacted Zhao Long in the morning and asked him to find someone to deliver some seasonings to him.By the way, I am looking for a few people to come over, because Lin Hao feels that there is a little shortage of manpower.

The production of bacon is roughly divided into three stages: preparation, cooking and smoking.When preparing materials, choose one hundred catties of second-grade meat with fat fat of about one inch, cut into large pieces of five inches square, and the thickness is generally about one and a half inches.

Ingredients in the first pot: aniseed, pepper, spices, cinnamon, cloves, amomum.Separately prepare scallions, ginger, garlic, sweet noodle sauce, and when cooking meat, put the tenderloin first, and layer other meat pieces with skin on top.Add another two catties of onion, half a catty of garlic, and an appropriate amount of salt. Finally, add water to cover the meat. After it boils over a slow fire, add sweet noodle sauce, black noodle sauce, soy bean curd, sauce and vinegar.

After the pot is opened, turn the meat pieces up and down, and continue to simmer over low heat. Turn the pot every half an hour, and it will take about two to four hours to cook.Because the meat is cooked slowly, the oil layer is tightly covered on the broth, and the flavor of the seasoning in the pot can fully enter the meat, so the meat is delicious, which is the key to making Chaigoubao bacon.When smoking, drain the oil soup, put it on the iron grate, put cypress sawdust in the iron pot under the iron grate, three to four taels, cover the pot, heat it with a slow fire for 15 minutes, and then take it out of the pot. The bacon has the characteristics of good color, aroma and taste.

Lin Hao explained the process of making bacon to Mo Qian.Mo Qian memorized everything Lin Hao said.

When everyone finished their breakfast, they took advantage of the cool weather to continue laying wood.Finally, at noon, all the laying was completed. This is a platform with a length and width of 5 meters.Lin Hao reserved half a meter of width around the platform and planned the size of the tree house.

Lin Hao told Wang Bin to build three identical platforms according to the method of building the platform before, and he himself took the tools and started to make various woods needed to build the tree house, and made various bumps on the wood card slot.

When night came, Zhao Long brought all kinds of seasonings that Lin Hao had asked him to send, and a few young men from the village followed him.

"It won't delay things if they are missing in the village, right?" Lin Hao asked.

"Don't worry, the people in the village are still very rich. With such a small amount of land, you don't need too many people. It's just for the sake of fairness that every household sends out people every day. Usually, you don't need too many people at all." Zhao said. Long explained.

"Since Liangzi came for the second time, the outside of the mountain is undergoing major construction. They mentioned to me before that they will use Luoyun Village as the tourist center and gradually expand outwards to promote the economic development of Panshan County from point to area. But now we have only small The waterfalls in Qingshan, the karst caves, and the sea of ​​clouds that can be seen from Uncle Wang Bin's place are nothing to see.

Although this is now a wild Siberian tiger nature reserve, we can't disturb the lives of animals.So we need to build some man-made tourism resources now.For example, the tree house that is being built now. "

"Okay, brother Hao, I brought you all the things and people, rest for one night, and I will go back early tomorrow morning." Zhao Long said to Lin Hao: "Those two boys can sail now, but I still have a good time." It takes a while, otherwise I really don't feel at ease."

"You just have to figure it out."

Lin Hao divided the seasoning brought by Zhao Long into two parts, and then took Mo Qian to actually smoke the bacon hand in hand.With the addition of seasonings, the smell of bacon became more and more fragrant, and the scent that wafted out constantly seduced everyone, and everyone's saliva continued to flow down under the stimulation of this scent.

Lin Hao turned the smoked bacon into evening dishes, while what Mo Qian made by hand was hung on a tree branch very close to the table.After eating, everyone chatted for a while, and then they all got into their respective tents.The few people who came with Zhao Long also set up their tents on the platform on the tree.Several tents take up the entire podium.

But everyone rested quite comfortably, because the height of the platform can avoid the attack of wild animals, so everyone rested well.Except for Lin Hao, Mo Qian, and Wang Bin, who already knew that there would be no wild beasts, they all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that they could sleep on the tree.

At dawn, after Lin Hao prepared food for Zhao Long on the road, Zhao Long hurried down the mountain.Lin Hao took the newcomers and hoisted all the wood he had prepared to the built platform.Lin Hao built the frame of a house first by using mortise and tenon joints.Then add wood to the frame little by little and fix it.The prototype of the tree house was built by Lin Hao and the others bit by bit.Seven consecutive days passed without knowing it.

When the first tree house was built, Lin Hao and the others were very excited.This should be regarded as the first tree house in Xiaoqingshan. Everyone dismantled their tents that night. The tree house is divided into two floors, and each tree house is a four by three design.But because it has just been set up, there is no wooden bed installed inside.However, everyone has a moisture-proof mat and a moisture-proof mat and a sleeping bag is laid on the mat.

The second floor of the tree house has been occupied by Ma Tianyu, Xu Tianke, Wang Bin, and a few other guys. Although there are a lot of people, it doesn't look crowded.It was Lin Hao who was kindly rushed downstairs to share a room with Mo Qian.

Everyone was very excited that night, and they couldn't fall asleep for a long time. They didn't fall asleep until late at night.When waking up the next day, everyone was a little less energetic.Because of the first model tree house, everyone began to speed up the construction. On the roof of the tree house, Lin Hao carefully laid the purchased solar panels on it and fixed them. In order to prevent the attack of lightning, Lin Hao Hao erected a lightning rod near where the treehouse was built.

This is a very simple production. I saw Lin Hao fixed an iron rod with two wires welded on a slender pole and wrapped it with insulating tape several times, and then buried the wire half a meter underground. In deep places, use this simple lightning rod to reduce the damage of tree houses caused by lightning in the future, and it can also effectively reduce the occurrence of deep forest fires.

Because the first model tree house was used as a reference, the subsequent construction speed became much faster.Lin Hao and Wang Bin stayed in the mountains for nearly a month, during which Lin Hao asked Zhao Long to deliver food several times.Because everyone is so busy that they hardly have time to hunt.The food can only be given by the people under the mountain.

Just when Zhao Long was about to send things into the mountain for the third time, Zhang Liang and the others also came to Luoyun Village.When they learned that Lin Hao and the others had become savages in the mountains, they immediately became interested and expressed their desire to follow Zhao Long to see it.
