Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 168 The leopard covered with treasures

"No~"

"Well……"

The watery moonlight shines through the translucent window and falls on the windowsill. The dried flowers made of red maple and ginkgo give off a faint bright luster.

The scattering of moonlight made the whole room glow slightly. Under the light blue printed quilt, Lin Heng and Xiulan were tasting the delicious taste of coconut milk-flavored White Rabbit toffee.

"Well...you've tasted enough now!"

Xiulan hugged Lin Heng's neck and said breathlessly, her voice was charming, and the air she breathed out smelled of sweet coconut milk.

"no!"

Lin Heng grinned, lowered his head, and tasted the real White Rabbit toffee.

……

More than half an hour later, Xiulan was lying softly in Lin Heng's arms, her snow-white skin glowing with a faint red light.

"You bad guy~"

She pinched Lin Heng's flesh and hummed in a low voice: "I kindly waited for you to come home, but you still bully me like this."

"I feel sorry for my wife. I see your skin is getting more and more moist and fair." Lin Heng took a breath of the fragrance of his wife's hair and said with a smile.

"Humph!"

Xiulan bit Lin Heng on the chest and taught him a lesson.

"No, wife."

Lin Heng hugged her close to her face, feeling each other's warmth. Both sides could feel each other's heart beating.

In the silent night, people can feel more lonely. It is a great happiness to have such a person who loves you wholeheartedly.

Xiulan leaned against Lin Heng, her red lips opening and closing in his ear: "It's definitely three o'clock now, and we have to deal with prey tomorrow morning. There will definitely be no time to go to the mountains to pick up fungi."

Although her tone contained blame, it was more filled with overflowing love.

"It's okay, let's go the day after tomorrow." Lin Heng pressed against her, wanting to take good care of her for no reason.

"Of course this is the only way, why can't I give you a good beating?" Xiulan pouted and clung to him.

In such a late autumn, being so close to each other is unusually warm and comfortable, especially since the two of them still love each other deeply.

He fell asleep in a daze, and when the night goddess was awakened by the dawn, the moon fairy was driven away by the sunshine, and the two were still close to each other.

Whenever he opened his eyes and saw the little face in front of him, Lin Heng felt that the whole day was beautiful and he smoothed her messy hair.

Xiulan opened her eyes and looked at him with a smile, put her arms around his neck, blinked and asked softly: "Do you still want to try coconut-flavored toffee?"

Before Lin Heng said anything, she took the initiative to let him taste it, wanting to be with him for no reason.

After a few minutes, Lin Heng looked at his wife's red and full lips and said with unfinished content: "Coconut-flavored toffee is so delicious~"

"Okay, I've eaten enough for today. I'll give you something to eat another day." Xiulan whispered, looked for her underwear that she didn't know where to throw, put it on and got up.

After washing her face, she sat in front of the mirror, combed her hair, applied the skin cream and lipstick Lin Heng bought for her, and also drew on her eyebrows.

She doesn't dress up every day, but she often uses skin-protecting products, and she finds that these can really make herself better.

Lin Heng washed his face and went out to look at the clouded leopard again. This thing was even more ferocious when he saw it in the morning. It was really a lot of luck to catch it last night.

Shaking his head, he called his wife and went to the backyard to exercise together.

After the exercise, the two were just about to cook when there was a knock on the front door: "Lin Heng, open the door quickly."

"I'm coming."

Lin Heng came over and opened the door. His parents, elder brother and sister-in-law were outside.

Father Lin stood outside the door and said impatiently: "Did you hit the leopard?"

"Yes." Lin Heng grinned and led the two of them into the house.

Father Lin looked at the clouded leopard hanging on the pole with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"It's incredible that we managed to kill such a big leopard." Father Lin shook his head and sighed.

"No one expected it at the beginning." Lin Yue also sighed, and he was even more shocked when he saw this big guy during the day.

Liu Juan envied Lin Heng even more and said with emotion: "This is luck, and I can't stop it."

"It happens to be here, let's peel it off." Lin Heng said with a smile. He was no longer so excited.

Father Lin smiled and nodded: "Okay, one hour should be enough."

It's half past six now, it should be less than eight after peeling off.

"You peel it, and I'll cook the chicken in soup."

Lin Heng said with a smile, handed his father his hundred-smelted steel dagger, and left the matter of skinning the leopard to them.

He was a little tired, and he was very interested in seeing his father, so he wanted to experience it too.

"Leopard meat is a good thing. As the old saying goes, it can repair all injuries and strengthen the five internal organs. I usually can't get it, so I just want to get some for your grandma to replenish her health."

Mother Lin looked at the big clouded leopard and said, this thing is no better than ordinary prey and has great medicinal value.

The so-called terminal injury refers to the kind of person who is extremely ill, with a greenish complexion and a tired look that is beyond recovery.

An old folk prescription spread in rural areas says that leopard meat can cure this disease and repair injuries.

"Yes, there are many people who want to buy this leopard meat for two or three yuan a pound. You don't usually see this kind of thing." Liu Juan also said with envy, this thing is very in demand.

Lin Heng also knew this, but he had never eaten leopard meat. He didn't know whether it was true or not, but there should be some truth to it.

After returning to the house to boil water, Lin Heng watched them skin the leopard.

Wait for the water to boil. They skinned half of the leopard, and Lin Heng was about to scoop out the boiling water to make soup when the gate of the yard was pushed open.

Old Man Tian walked in followed by several people from the village.

"What's going on?" Lin Heng asked curiously.

"You are skinning the leopard just in time. Let's sell the leopard meat. We are here to buy the meat." Tian Baishun said with a smile.

"Lin Heng, you are so powerful. You can hit these things and make a lot of money."

"No one else has your skills. I've never seen anyone who can hit a leopard."

"This is a good thing. It can replenish the five internal organs, replenish qi and blood, strengthen muscles and bones, cure kidney deficiency and strengthen yang."

The five or six people who followed in looked at the clouded leopard that Father Lin and others were skinning with envy. This thing was so precious.

"What are you going to buy?" Lin Heng looked at Tian Baishun and asked.

Tian Baishun smiled and said: "I will buy a pound and go back to make up for it. You sell it for three yuan, which is a lot of money."

"I don't really want to sell it, but you guys are here, so let's pay three yuan a pound." Lin Heng thought for a while and said.

"Okay, give me a pound." Tian Baishun didn't hesitate.

"I also bought a pound and gave it to my little son."

"I also want a pound, and I can give it to the old man when I go back."

……

Some other people also said that they were very enthusiastic about leopard meat.

"Okay, I'll weigh you all after it's peeled off." Lin Heng nodded and said.

"Lin Heng, do you sell leopard whips?" someone asked curiously. There was a sudden commotion and dirty jokes nearby.

"Sell it, but the price is different. Do you want to buy it?" Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Haha, forget it, I'm just asking." The man immediately waved his hand, thinking that this thing would not be cheap.

Lin Heng ironed all the seven bamboo chickens, golden roosters, and egrets. Lin's sister-in-law Xiulan came over to help pluck the feathers.

The villagers who came to buy leopard meat were so envious that they drooled when they saw these prey. Lin Heng's hunting skills were so amazing.

If nothing else, just the bamboo rooster and golden rooster can prove that who can kill so many in one night.

"Finally, it's peeled off. Let's see how many kilograms of meat it is."

After Lin Heng and others had cleaned up all the chicken feathers, Lin's father and his eldest brother finally peeled off the leopard's skin.

They peel it very slowly because they are afraid of scratching the skin, which will greatly reduce the price.

"I'll get the scale." Lin Heng ran into the house and got the scale.

I took a scale and weighed it. After peeling off the skin, I still had 42 pounds.

"It's so heavy." Lin Heng was a little surprised.

Tian Baishun smiled and said: "Of course, if the prey in autumn is not fat, your leopard meat can be sold for more than a hundred yuan, not to mention the leopard skin."

"Not that much, there are still internal organs, and that's all for sale. I don't want to sell the rest." Lin Heng shook his head.

There aren't many of these things, and they can't be sold for much, so it's better to keep them for yourself.

"That's right, you, a household worth ten thousand yuan, don't need this little drizzle." Tian Baishun said sourly, he was so envious.

He watched Lin Heng take off step by step.

Hang the leopard up and open its belly to reveal its internal organs.

A leopard's body is full of treasures, and its heart is said to have the effect of aphrodisiac and kidney. Leopard gallbladder is even more valuable and has the effects of reducing swelling, relieving pain, detoxifying and clearing away heat.

Father Lin took these out one by one and put them in a bamboo sieve. There was a lot of suet in the clouded leopard's body.

After all this is done, the leopard meat seems to be gone. The meat is bright red and delicate, with almost no fat visible.

Father Lin separated it, cut six kilograms of pure meat and sold it to several people who bought meat.

"If you meet anyone, tell them I won't sell the rest." Lin Heng gave the meat to them and warned them again.

"Okay, don't worry." Tian Baishun said with a smile.

After these people left, Lin Heng asked his father to cut the meat into small pieces.

The bones don't matter anymore, the skeleton is no different from that of a cat, and it's not very interesting to make a skeleton specimen.

After taking out all the internal organs of the bamboo chicken and golden rooster, Lin Heng gave his eldest brother three bamboo chickens and three kilograms of leopard meat, and gave his parents five kilograms of leopard meat.

"Don't refuse, take it back and eat it to replenish your body. I've saved the meat that my grandma needs." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Then I will give you some kudzu powder and yam, so don't refuse." Lin Yue said with a smile.

"I never refuse." Lin Heng nodded with a smile.

After his parents and elder brother and sister-in-law left with the meat, Lin Heng squatted down and took the leopard meat into the house and hung it up. Then he started processing the chicken offal. He wanted to make a chicken offal to eat.

Although it is difficult to handle, it tastes really good. The texture of chicken gizzards, chicken hearts, and chicken intestines is very chewy, and the more you chew, the more delicious it becomes.

"Do you want to make rice?" Xiulan looked at Lin Heng and asked.

Lin Heng looked at his wife and nodded with a smile: "Okay, stir-fry some leopard meat and try it."

"Okay, then you are waiting to eat when you come back from Hongfeng Mountain, right?" Xiulan looked at him and said.

"Yes." Lin Heng nodded.

Chicken hearts, livers, and kidneys don't need to be processed, and chicken gizzards are not difficult to process. The chicken intestines need to be cut with scissors and cleaned. In order not to retain the original flavor, it is best to scratch and wash them with cornmeal.

After finishing it, Lin Heng told Xiulan and went to Hongfeng Mountain with his father.

Today we have to dig a pond without his guidance.

When we arrived at Hongfeng Mountain, everyone was gathered, and a group of people gathered together to discuss Lin Heng's hunting of the leopard.

"Brother Lin, you are so awesome." Lin Hai admired him.

"You have the ability." Lin Heng's third father, Lin Xutao, also patted him on the shoulder.

"It's just my luck that I went to my house to eat leopard meat at noon." Lin Heng smiled and said a few words to everyone before starting to arrange work.

Li Shiwei and his uncle haven't come down yet, but he still digs according to the previous group of eleven people, led by his father, elder brother and six other people.

There were six groups, one for each pond. After explaining them one by one, he led everyone to start working.

"Dad, why don't we just call a hundred people? It will probably take a long time to fill the pond with sixty people."

Lin Heng discussed it with his father, and now that all the land has been leveled, construction of all the ponds can begin at the same time.

Father Lin shook his head: "One hundred is too many and it's difficult to manage. You can call forty more. That adds up to ten groups. I think that's enough."

Lin Heng thought about it and decided that this was the reason. He might not have time to manage things because he has been busy recently. It is indeed difficult to have too many people.

"That's it."

Lin Heng nodded, stayed at the construction site for a while and then left. He went to Tian Dongfu to talk about the matter and asked him to help find forty more people.

Tian Dongfu naturally agreed to this matter. He could get a lot of benefits just by talking, so why not do it.

When Lin Heng returned home, Xiulan not only prepared the meal for the adults, but also minced the leopard meat into minced meat and made Xiaoxia a garlic-fried minced meat rice. Lin Heng walked into the house, and Xiaoxia was holding a Eat with a spoon.

"You scoop some rice for me, and I'll serve it." Xiulan said to him.

"Okay." Lin Heng washed his hands and filled two bowls of rice.

Xiulan not only made fried leopard meat with sour radish slices in the morning, but also made spinach and egg soup, and fried winter melon slices.

Lin Heng took a bite of leopard meat, chewed it for a while before swallowing it, and commented: "It's pretty good. The meat is very delicate and chewy like beef. It doesn't have the sour taste they say."

"I also think it tastes delicious. It's more delicate than beef and has no fishy smell." Xiulan nodded.

Leopard meat also has its own unique aroma when eaten, which is different from other animals.

"Well, let's eat more. Lean meat will not make people fat." Lin Heng nodded. This dish is very delicious.

The fried winter melon is also good, with a sweet taste, Xiaoxia likes to eat it very much.

After eating, Lin Heng took a rest and went back to bed to catch up on his sleep. I was too tired last night and didn't sleep well.

Xiulan took her daughter to continue to help grind sweet potato flour. Today she couldn't go to the mountain to pick up mushrooms.

When Lin Heng woke up, it was already one o'clock. He rubbed his eyes and felt energetic and his body was a little warm.

"It seems like this leopard meat is really effective." Lin Heng said to himself.

I went out to dry the leopard whip and prepare it for soaking in wine or something. The leopard eggs were just grilled over charcoal.

When he went out to his parents' place, he found that his uncle and Li Shiwei had come down and were having a lively chat.

"Lin Heng, you came just in time. I have something to tell you." Li Baiquan said quickly when he saw Lin Heng.

"What's going on?" Lin Heng showed a hint of curiosity.

　Sorry, updates are getting late and late lately. It’s almost Chinese New Year and I have a lot of things to do during the day, so I always don’t have time to write.

　　Today I only have 4,000 words, I will definitely make up for it, trust me.
