Rebirth 78, marry Qingmei as my wife

After Liu Hongjun finished cooking, Qian Shengli and the other three came back carrying wood without waiting long.

Qian Shengli and the others were very particular about chopping wood, and all wood was as thick as an arm.

The temporary shack does not require too thick wood, the arm is just the right thickness.

What's more important is that this kind of wood is easier to chop. Qian Shengli and three people were able to chop back more than a dozen pieces of wood in more than an hour.

If it's something as thick as a bowl, it takes more than an hour for three people to chop two pieces of wood each.

"Brother Shengli, eat first, and then go chop wood after eating." Liu Hongjun greeted with a smile.

"It smells delicious! Stewed duck?"

"Brother Shengli has a good nose. He just shot some wild ducks and stewed them with the radishes he brought.

Eat something simple for lunch, and make something delicious in the evening. Liu Hongjun laughed.

"Haha, brother Red Army, what you said is a bit too much.

Stewed duck with radish, this kind of meal is just fine, but what most people in the village eat at home is pig food.

If your words get out, someone will poke you in the back. Qian Shengli said with a smile.

"Haha, let's go into the mountains to fight and sleep in the open, just to eat something good?" Liu Hongjun said with a smile.

This was not a siege, so during lunch, Liu Hongjun took out the medicinal wine he had brought and each of them drank two sips.

A couple of them are just right to get rid of the wind and cold, and too much will delay things.

After all, this is a deep mountain wilderness. Although no wild animals have come to this valley in the past, there is no guarantee that no wild animals will come.

So, just drink a few sips to warm your body.

After eating, Qian Shengli led Dashan and Shitou to continue chopping wood.

Liu Hongjun washed the pots and dishes. After tidying up, he took out the large eight-seal iron pot.

Liu Hongjun did not go to help Qian Shengli and the others. Instead, he took off the antlers of the deer he had found in the mountains, took them over, put them in the creek below the pool and started washing them.

Deer shed their antlers in spring, and the ones that are the shortest are seven or eight months old now, and they are already covered with dust.

Liu Hongjun took the brush and washed it over and over again in the stream. Until it looked clean on the surface, he put it aside for later use and continued to wash other deer's antlers.

After washing five racks of deer and taking off their antlers, Liu Hongjun finished temporarily. He took off the washed deer's antlers and chopped them into small pieces with an axe. Then he put them into the eight-yin cauldron, added water, and started soaking.

Then, he went to find a few deer and took off their antlers and continued washing them.

It seems very simple to take off deer antlers and boil them into antler glue. You just need to wash them clean, chop them into pieces, soak out the impurities, then simmer them over fire, finally filter out the impurities, and continue to simmer them over low heat.

Although it is not difficult, it is very troublesome in practice.

The most troublesome step is to clean the deer's antlers. The longer the deer's antlers are removed, the more dirt there will be on it, making it more troublesome to clean.

This is winter. Although the temperature in the valley is a little higher than outside, it is still below zero.

In the sub-zero temperature environment, it is so refreshing to wash the deer's antlers in the stream.

Liu Hongjun once again lamented that it would be great if there was a space!

That way, he didn't have to bring money to win over them. He could come alone, find all the deer's antlers, take them home, and wash them clean slowly.

When the time comes, it's up to him whether he boils the antler glue or sells it as handicrafts.

After Liu Hongjun washed out the five deer with their antlers again, he went to the sledge and took down the other three eight-yin cauldrons.

This time when they went into the mountains, Liu Hongjun and the others brought a total of four eight-yin cauldrons.

Liu Hongjun built three more simple earthen stoves and placed the eight-yin cauldron on the earthen stoves.

Liu Hongjun took off the deer's antlers and chopped it into small pieces, put it in a pot, added water, and soaked it.

Then continue to brush the deer's antlers, clean them and chop them into pieces, put them in a pot and add water to soak them.

In one breath, Liu Hongjun soaked all four pots with the pieces of deer antlers.

Then go to the first pot, stir it slowly with a wooden stick, pour out the water inside, wash it again, then continue to add water and continue soaking.

Then the second pot, the third pot, the fourth pot.

This soaking cannot be done in a short time. It must be soaked until no impurities can be seen at all.

While Liu Hongjun was stirring the pieces of deer antlers in the pot, he was thinking that he seemed to have made a mistake.

The deer took off its horns and soaked them in water for two days.

With so many deer losing their antlers, it would be impossible to boil them all into antler glue within a month or two.

After thinking for a while, Liu Hongjun got in the car, took out a shovel, and dug a big hole beside the stream.

This pit is not very deep, and the sky cannot dig it too deep.

The water from the stream is led to the pit, and there is an opening on the other side. When the water is full, it will flow out from the other opening and merge into the creek.

Liu Hongjun let the stream flow into the big pit and slowly washed away.

After the water in the pit became clear, the water outlet below was blocked with stones so that the water could flow out, but the fragments of the deer's antlers could not flow out.

Liu Hongjun then took off the chopped horns of the deer and put them into the pit to soak.

With four pots and a big pit, Liu Hongjun was extremely busy.

In the evening, Qian Shengli finally built the four shacks and came over to help Liu Hongjun.

"Red Army, the shack is ready, what do you need our help with?"

"Brother Shengli, you are responsible for stirring. When the water is muddy, pour it out, rinse it, use a brush to wash the broken pieces, then add water and continue soaking." Liu Hongjun taught Qian Shengli the soaking method, and then put the work Leave it to him.

"Brother Red Army, where are we?"

"You go look for the deer's antlers and find all the deer's antlers you can find." Liu Hongjun arranged work for Dashan and Shitou.

"Yeah!" Dashan and Shitou agreed, turned around and went to work.

"You guys are busy, I'll cook for you!

In the evening, we have Feilong soup and some pheasants. Do you want roasted chicken or fried chicken? Liu Hongjun asked with a smile.

“Eat grilled chicken!

The roast chicken cooked by the Red Army brothers still makes me hungry when I think about it. "Qian Shengli was not polite and ordered directly.

"Okay, then I'll cook!" Liu Hongjun responded and went to prepare dinner.

The four people each have their own division of labor and are busy.

"Brother Shengli, I think what we thought before was a bit simplistic. If we want to take off all the deer antlers and boil them into antler glue, and then take them out, it probably won't take a month." Liu Hongjun was talking to Qian Shengli while cooking. talk.

"How long should this be soaked before it is ready?"

"It needs to be soaked until there are no more impurities. After soaking for a few hours, the water is clear. Then you can start cooking the antler glue."

“It’s really troublesome!

Otherwise, we take off the antlers of the deer, wash them, chop them into pieces, and then put them in sacks and take them back.

This way, others can't see what's in our sacks. Qian Shengli thought for a while and said.
