Chapter 32

After sending the pushcart back, he returned home.

He found that his mother and wife, leading his younger brother Wang Yi, were still busy with the food for the guests at noon.

After wandering around, he found that he couldn't help much, so he thought about soaking the deer whip and deer bone in wine first.

As for soaking in wine, rural people like to soak a jar or two, the method is very simple, there are prescriptions, prepare medicinal materials according to the prescription.

If there is no prescription, just throw the things you want to soak into the wine and that's it!

Wang An knows a very simple prescription, ginseng, deer whip, wolfberry, Wang An forgot the specific dosage, anyway, there are not so many stresses in soaking this thing.

Wash the two small jars clean, and rinse them with a small amount of wine.

The deer whip hanging in the lower room is not dry at all, frozen hard, washed with water, and rubbed with wine!

When rubbing the deer whip, Wang An felt something was wrong, but he couldn't remember what was wrong, anyway, there was a strange feeling!

Wolfberry is picked and dried by himself, very clean, no need to wash.

Pour sorghum wine into the two small jars respectively, throw the ginseng that is not human-shaped, the deer whip, and about a catty of wolfberry into the small jars.

Then tear a piece of cloth from the clean flour bag, fold it a few times, seal the mouth of the jar, and cover it with the jar lid, this ginseng deer whip wine is done!

Deer bone wine is even simpler, the bones on the deer that are most suitable for soaking in wine are the deer spine, and the deer leg bones!

Because the deer spine has spinal cord, and the deer leg bone has bone marrow! Wang An used leg bones, because this thing saves trouble!

A deer has four legs, eight bone sticks, Wang An took four bone sticks at will, washed them, rubbed them with wine, threw them into the jar, sealed the mouth and covered it with the jar lid, done!

Put the two jars of soaked wine in the west room against the north wall, and it was all done!

When taking the deer bone, Wang An saw the mountain leopard bones placed on the side, heard that mountain leopard bones, if soaked in wine, are also quite good!

Although not as good as the big claw bones, they are also quite decent! Anyway, he still has to buy wine!

After fiddling with the soaked wine, Wang An, who was squatting in the stove pit to help burn the fire, heard the three big dogs in the courtyard barking wildly!

These three dogs might not be familiar with it for the first few days, and they didn't bark when people came, today they know how to bark, not bad!

Wang An stood at the door and shouted not to bark, and the three dogs immediately stopped and drilled back into the dog house! Very obedient!

Seeing the eldest uncle (uncle) Wang Dashu's family of the same village, carrying the dining table, carrying the benches, carrying the baskets, the baskets were filled with plates, bowls and basins, and they had already walked into the courtyard!

This era is like this, one family invites guests, several families gather tables and benches, plates, bowls and basins, otherwise there are no tools (referring to tools) for eating!

Only chopsticks don't need to be gathered, every household has a lot, all made of wood by themselves!

Eldest uncle Wang Dashu, eldest aunt Xu Yongfeng, and the eldest brother Wang Yong's family of four, third brother Wang Gan's family of three, a total of 9 people!

Wang An greeted them one by one with a smile, and a large group of people entered the room!

Wang Dashu also has two daughters, eldest sister Wang Xiaoyan, third sister Wang Xiaona, who have married to other villages, quite far away, and transportation is not convenient, so they didn't invite them!

After a while, there was another sound of dog barking, Wang An continued the previous operation!

The second uncle's family of the same village also came! Similarly carrying the dining table and benches, carrying the baskets, the baskets were filled with plates, bowls and basins!

Second uncle Wang Daliang, second aunt Yao Ping, and the second brother Wang Shun's family of three, fifth brother Wang Li, younger sister Wang Xiaorong, a total of 7 people, another large group of people!

Second uncle also has a daughter, second sister Wang Xiaofeng, who has also married and started a family, married not close, so didn't invite her!

Following closely, is the old uncle's family from Liu Village, not far from Kaoshan Village, Liu Village is directly north of Kaoshan Village, about two or three miles away, and you have to cross a mountain!

At this time, Wang An hadn't returned to the room, still standing in the courtyard, and when the old uncle's family came, the dogs didn't bark! Hunting dogs, after being pulled out, are indeed sensible!

Greeting them one by one, old uncle Liu Deyuan, old aunt Ding Zhengxiang, and younger sister Liu Simeng and younger brother Liu Yongbing's family of 4 also entered the room!

At this time, the hostesses of each family were helping to cook and prepare dishes in the outer room.

A group of old men were in the east room, chatting while fiddling with smoke, the tobacco leaves they smoked were exchanged by Wang An for roe deer meat!

A group of children were running wildly in the courtyard!

Whether inside or outside, it was quite lively!

Around ten o'clock, father Wang Dazhu drove the sled, picked up a large group of people and returned, and once again a large group of people entered the room!

Maybe they were more familiar with Wang Dazhu, the three dogs didn't make a sound!

This time fewer people came, it was the eldest aunt's family from Lin Village, northwest of Kaoshan Village, about five or six miles away.

Eldest aunt Wang Yuqin, eldest uncle Lin Dajiang, and eldest cousin Lin Hongjun, eldest cousin Lin Hongbo, eldest cousin Lin Dongqing, 5 people!

The eldest sister-in-law and two children of Lin Hongjun's family, and the eldest cousin Lin Dongmei who had married far away, didn't come.

Following closely is the old aunt's family, also living in Lin Village!

Old aunt Wang Yulian, old uncle Feng Chengmin, younger cousin Feng Weidong, younger cousin Feng Ruosi, a family of 4, came driving a sled!

Old uncle Feng Chengmin is also a mountain-goer, to be precise, the men of the old aunt's family are all mountain-goers!

Feng Chengmin's father was an old gunner, old in age, unable to keep up with physical strength, and no longer went mountain-going!

Feng Chengmin and Feng Chengmin's eldest brother and younger brother are all ordinary hunters! The family background is quite good!

So, the old aunt's family can afford horses, and the whole family came driving a sled!

Up to this point, the relatives who should come have basically arrived!

In fact, the eldest uncle Liu Delin's family didn't come, but the eldest uncle works in a neighboring city, hasn't been in touch for several years, and couldn't be notified at all!

At noon, Liu Guilan, who loves face, gathered 8 dishes, in fact, many were cooked in one pot, otherwise there weren't enough pots!

Stewed big bone pig spine, braised pork ribs, dried chili fried pork intestines, braised pork belly, bean paste stewed pig trotters, braised venison, wild chicken and rabbit stewed with mushrooms, a basket (a small pot-shaped object woven from thin tree branches) of dipping sauce dishes

Mainly because there were too many people, some dishes couldn't be placed on the table after being made, so they couldn't be made!

Including the family, a total of 36 people, adults and children, sat at two tables in the east and west rooms!

The room is not big, basically people are close to people, crowded!

However, the old men were pushing bowls and changing cups, no, it was pushing bowls, there were no cups!

A group of old women (no derogatory meaning, local customs) who like to drink also had a cup or two of small wine!

A large group of children, noisy, chirping, the whole room was full of people, lively and extraordinary!

After the meal, the old uncle Feng Chengmin, who was flushed with wine, was in the courtyard, carefully examining the three dogs, and studied them for a long time!

Hunters are particularly interested in everything related to hunting, and particularly like it!

Just like wine lovers are to all kinds of wine! Fishing people are to all kinds of fishing gear! Horse racing people are to all kinds of horses! And perverts are to all kinds of opposite sex!

Because of professionalism, so focus!

Surprised, he said to Wang An who was standing by and accompanying him: "Xiao An, these three dogs of yours are not ordinary! They are all fierce dogs that do hard work!"

Wang An asked suspiciously: "What's the saying? Old uncle?"

Feng Chengmin pointed to the biggest black dog and said:

"See the scars on the back? Those were all scratched by black bears!"

Wang An nodded.

Feng Chengmin continued: "See the scars on the ribs? Those were all scraped by the big fangs of the boars!"

Wang An continued to nod.

Feng Chengmin pointed to one of the two helper dogs again: "Look at the back of the neck, where four tufts of hair are missing, that was bitten by a wolf!"
