After breakfast the next day, Yang Qing told Wang Min that Lu Lin knew how to make beef jerky, and asked her to go, while Wang Min stayed at home to look after the house.
Wang Min had no objection. She would have a share anyway, so she was happy to rest at home.
"If you can find a few cows, making beef jerky won't take one or two days. It'll take at least three or four days."
"Be careful when you're home alone!" Yang Qing left a spear for Wang Min.
"Don't open the door to anyone who comes. Don't pay any attention to the building manager. Just tell him to wait until we get back!"
Wang Min nodded, "You guys be careful too!"
The six people set off in two speedboats and a rubber boat, and also brought Aqi and Xiaoxue.
When we got to the mountain, we dragged the assault boat directly to the farmhouse to prevent it from being stolen.
"There is a farm stay here?" Li Shengnan was surprised.
"Well, we found it yesterday. The cow was tied up at the back. I'll go see if it's still there." Leng Yi said.
After a while he brought over a cow.
"This big?"
"This must weigh more than a thousand pounds, right?"
“It’s done now!”
"There should be more than one cow. Let's look for it and see if we can find it." Yang Qing said.
Take out the electric prod to stun the cow, slit its throat, and let them deal with the rest.
Yang Qing handed a pistol to Lu Lin and whispered, "Be careful. If there are any bad guys, shoot!"
She couldn't guarantee that no one else would come, and if someone came to steal the beef and a conflict broke out, she would have to resist.
"Don't worry!" Lu Lin nodded and put away the gun.
Yang Qing and Leng Yi took Aqi and Xiaoxue away, while the others dealt with the beef.
"Let's peel the skin first. The skin can't be eaten, but it can be tanned into leather. We don't know how to do it, so we keep it to exchange for supplies." Lu Lin said.
"I'll do it!" Gao Yang volunteered.
Let's all help.
Cut open the cow's stomach and take out the internal organs first.
"Do cows really have four stomachs?" Li Shengnan was surprised. Although she knew about it, she had never seen it before.
"Which one is it, the beef tripe or beef shank that we usually eat?" Jiang Hao asked.
"This is beef tripe, the cow's omasum." Lu Lin pointed to one of the stomachs. "It looks darker now, but when it comes out of the wash it will be whiter and have more bumps on it."
"Tripe is the rumen of the cow. It's darker, slightly smoother, and chewier. Beef tripe is crispier."
Gao Yang was surprised. "I didn't expect you knew all this?"
"That's right. I'm not at all vague about food." Lu Lin looked proud.
"Jiang Hao, help me clean out the undigested grass in my stomach first, and I'll take care of the rest."
"No problem!" Jiang Hao nodded.
"Are you going to exchange this meat for points or make beef jerky? If you want to make beef jerky, I'll start pickling it now." Lu Lin asked.
Several people looked at each other, unable to make up their minds for a moment.
"How about this, we'll make beef jerky from this cow first. Didn't Yang Qing say there was more than one cow? You guys can decide on the rest later."
"Even if we have to exchange for points, we must always leave some food for ourselves. Otherwise, we will starve to death before the base is built. What's the use of having points?" Lu Lin said.
"What Lu Lin said makes sense." Li Shengnan nodded. "Let's give this cow to ourselves first."
Everyone became more motivated.
With so much beef, a lot of marinade and seasonings are needed.
Sugar, salt, soy sauce, thirteen spices, cumin, star anise, cinnamon, chili, pepper, etc.
"So this is in your bag. I was wondering why you brought so many things with you." Jiang Hao said.
"This is all Yang Qing's." Lu Lin did not take credit for it.
"These will cost a lot of money, and you can't buy them now. Once they are done, Yang Qing will get a bigger share!" said Li Shengnan.
"We have no objection." Jiang Hao and Gao Yang both nodded.
Besides, the cows were discovered by Yang Qing and his friends, so there’s nothing I can do even if they keep them for themselves.
Now that they can share it, we should be grateful.
Lu Lin nodded. Fortunately, these people were not so selfish, and Yang Qing’s help to them was not in vain.
After the beef was cut, Li Shengnan helped to slice and cut it into strips.
For those beef brisket and ribs that cannot be made into jerky, just remove them and set them aside.
Lu Lin mixed the marinade and divided the beef into two portions, one for spicy flavor and the other for sweet and salty flavor.
Mix the marinade and beef thoroughly, marinate for half an hour, then place the grill on the fire and start grilling.
The beef was sizzling on the grill, and the aroma of meat filled the air, making everyone's mouths water.
"Can I have a bite?" Jiang Hao looked at the beef eagerly. It smelled really good.
"Sure, there are so many anyway." Lu Lin smiled.
Everyone ate a few pieces and praised them highly.
"How long will it take to roast hundreds of pounds of meat on two grills?" Gao Yang said, "Let's see if the kitchen can do it. We can make two ovens ourselves."
"I don't know how to do this. You guys can do whatever you want." Lu Lin said with a smile.
At the foot of the mountain, four people came in a speedboat.
We got close to the mountain, went ashore and towed the assault boat up.
"Daqiang, hide the assault boat so that no one can steal it."
"Don't worry, Brother Fei." Daqiang said.
"I don't know how the boss and the others are doing in the mountains." Liu Fei said.
"Brother Fei, do you think the boss is willing to go to the new base with us? Once we get there, we won't have the final say." said a guy with a crew cut.
"Why not? That's a good place. There's everything you need there. There's nothing you need in this mountain. Boss, you're not stupid!"
"But, once we get there, the boss isn't the boss anymore."
"That's not necessarily true. Although Wang Jun is powerful, he is just a man of courage but no strategy. It's not certain who will be the boss when the boss leaves." Brother Fei sneered.
"What smells so good?"
“It smells like barbecue.”
"I didn't expect that the boss and his family are living well and even have barbecue to eat?"
"Let's go, I haven't eaten meat for a few days, today is a good time to have a good meal."
"You two, patrol around first to prevent anyone from ruining our plans!"
"Ah, Brother Fei, we want to eat barbecue too." The other two said with bitter faces.
"There's food for you!" Brother Fei kicked it. "Whether you're hungry or not, you'll have plenty when you come back from patrolling the mountain!"
"...Yes, Brother Fei!" The two responded reluctantly.
The four of them walked away separately.
Yang Qing and Leng Yi took Aqi and Xiaoxue and walked a long way before they found another cow.
Lead the cow back. The other cows may have run to other mountains, and it is hard to say whether we can find them. Take this one back first.
As they were walking, they suddenly found a speedboat.
"Oh no, other people are going up the mountain!" Yang Qing and Leng Yi looked at each other.
"I'll go to the farmhouse first, and you can come over with the cows." After Leng Yi said that, he took Xiaoxue and ran to the farmhouse.
Yang Qing hesitated for a moment, then immediately threw the cow and the assault boat into the space.
I called Archie and was about to follow him, but Archie started barking and went in the other direction, and I couldn't stop him.
Yang Qing was shocked. Could it be that there was more than one group of people coming up?
