Reborn in the 80s, starting with hunting in the mountains

"Brother Yi, is reindeer meat delicious?" On the way back, Yingzi asked Lin Yi curiously.

The reason why she didn't ask her grandfather was because Eiko knew that her grandfather might not have seen reindeer.

Reindeer are so rare here in Changbai Mountain.

Judging from previous contacts with Ji Yi, Yingzi felt that Lin Yi knew about reindeer.

Ji Yi nodded, of course it is delicious.

Not only is it delicious, but reindeer can be said to be full of treasures.

The meat is edible, the antlers are used as medicinal materials, and the deer skin can be used to keep warm.

"Can reindeer antlers also be used as deer antlers?" Eiko asked puzzledly.

"To be precise, the antlers of either sika deer, red deer or reindeer can be antler, but sika deer antlers have the highest nutritional value," Lin Yi told Yingzi.

Therefore, we often encounter situations where the antlers of red deer and reindeer are used to impersonate the antlers of sika deer.

This requires buyers to keep their eyes peeled and not be fooled.

Back at the camp, one of the reindeer was seriously injured and looked like he was going to die.

Mr. Han thought it over with everyone and decided to kill the reindeer for meat.

Although all the villagers were reluctant to part with it, they also knew that this was the only way to maximize the value of the reindeer.

When it dies, the meat will no longer taste good.

Yingzi looked at the reindeer in a corner, her eyes full of amazement.

The appearance of reindeer is still very good. In the deer family, it may be second only to the sika deer.

Especially the reindeer's pair of big Kazilan eyes are full of agility.

Lin Yi told Yingzi that reindeer eyes are not static.

In the summer, their eyes are golden, and in the winter, the reindeer's eyes turn to the dark blue they see today.

Well, to use a word from later generations to describe it, it is natural contact lenses.

This is because the reindeer live in areas with relatively high latitudes, so the climate changes greatly between summer and winter.

Therefore, the eyes change to adapt to the changing illumination.

Otherwise, the reindeer would suffer from snow blindness.

Snow blindness is not a rare thing in high latitudes.

Mild snow blindness will recover on its own.

If it's serious, you need to go to the hospital for treatment.

Old hunters like Mr. Han are good at killing all kinds of animals.

After a while, the reindeer was bled and their flesh and bones were separated.

Take the antlers back and exchange them for money.

For meat, cook it in one pot.

Lin Yi felt that eating meat directly would not be satisfying enough, so he asked everyone if they wanted to eat dumplings.

The answer I got was, of course, yes.

“I’ve had venison dumplings before, and they have endless aftertaste.”

"I haven't eaten venison dumplings for a long time, Xiaoyi, I didn't expect you to make dumplings?"

They didn't believe it at first, but when they saw Ji Yi take out a small bag of white noodles from the bag he brought, the whole camp was boiling.

Everyone swallowed, as if thinking of the deliciousness of dumplings.

"I'm here to help."

There were many people working, and soon Ji Yi started to organize things.

The camp’s simple kitchen only has these conditions, but it’s still no problem to make dumplings.

If there are some things missing, such as a rolling pin, you can also make them using local materials.

Ji Yi has eaten venison dumplings many times. Later, when he opened a restaurant, he also made this. The sales were quite good, and there were many repeat customers who came here just for the venison dumplings.

Once you eat it once, you will never forget it.

Of course, the venison in Lin Yi's restaurants in later generations was raised on nearby deer farms.

Compared with pork, mutton and beef, farmed venison is more delicious, but compared with wild deer, it is not as good as wild deer.

Mainly wild animals, which are often in danger and running around, so the meat is tighter and more elastic.The environment in which it grows is completely different from that of farmed deer.

Yingzi helped Ji Yi make the noodles together.

Don't look at her staying home all day and night, hunting outside.

But she was still very efficient at doing housework.

Up to the hall and down to the kitchen.

Girls of this era are not used to the problems of later generations.

She is not a young lady, but she suffers from young lady disease.

"Brother Yi, who made the best dumplings you have ever eaten?" Yingzi asked Lin Yi while kneading the dough.

Ji Yi thought for a while and said it was made by grandma.

Actually, the dumplings are still the same dumplings, and the wrapping method has not changed much. It’s just that because of the memory bonus, the taste has improved.

No matter what grandma cooks, it is always the most delicious.

This is probably memory killing, with a filter.

Yingzi's nose felt sour. When Lin Yi said this, she also missed her grandma.

Her parents died young, and she grew up with her grandparents. Her grandmother passed away a few years ago, and she burst into tears.

I feel like there is an empty space in my heart.

"I also want to eat the dumplings made by grandma." Yingzi sighed.

Lin Yi knew that Xiao Nizi missed her grandma, so he quickly interrupted and changed the topic.

While Yingzi was making noodles, Ji Yi was not idle either. He marinated the venison a little, then chopped the venison into minced meat, and added some wild vegetables, green onions and so on.

These will make the venison more flavorful and delicious.

Dumplings filled with pure meat are too easy to get tired of, and you will become tired after eating a few.

Dumplings that are half meat and half vegetables are yyds.

The noodles are mixed, and Ji Yi's dumpling fillings are chopped.

Mr. Han looked at Lin Yi and Yingzi with a smile on his face.

What a match these two.

Several villagers wanted to help, but they were stopped by Mr. Han.

They were just joining in the fun, but they didn't see that they were cultivating a relationship.

Besides, there are only a few people eating dumplings, so there is no need for so many people to work.

These villagers also noticed something and congratulated Mr. Han one after another.

During this period of time for Ji Yi, many people have wanted to match him.

There are even matchmakers from other villages coming to visit.

Others would like to have a girl in every family, but when it comes to Lin Yi, it seems to be the other way around.

But it is also understandable that Lin Yi is so outstanding that anyone with a suitable girl would want to marry him.

When Mr. Han saw that his granddaughter was getting closer to Lin Yi, he was naturally happy to see it happen.

He used to be good friends with Ji Yi's grandfather, and he also watched Ji Yi grow up.

I know Lin Yi’s character.

"Yingzi, do you know where dumplings come from?" When Lin Yi and Yingzi were making dumplings, they also talked about the dumplings themselves.

Yingzi shook her head, she really didn't know this.

So he asked Lin Yi.

Lin Yi told Yingzi that the origin of dumplings is that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, when Zhang Zhongjing, a miracle doctor, was helping the poor to treat ear frostbite, he suddenly had the idea to wrap cold-repelling food in the shape of ears and let people take it. The effect was surprisingly good. So people named this food Jiao Er, and it spread all over the world.

Later, people changed the fillings of Jiao Er into various dishes, and then they became the dumplings that everyone is familiar with today.

This is actually closely related to the dietary therapy of traditional Chinese medicine.

Not only dumplings, but also many recipes that have the same origin as medicine and food.

It is delicious and can cure diseases. It kills two birds with one stone. (End of chapter)
