Outside the kitchen, there are several large water tanks, each filled with half a tank of water.
Han Cheng took out a double-layer burlap net bag from the kitchen, reached into one of the water tanks, turned it half a circle and then took out the net bag. Amidst the dripping water, three half-foot-long crucian carps were fished out and thrown on the ground by Han Cheng.
Ignoring the fish jumping around on the ground and struggling desperately, Han Cheng put the empty net bag in his hand into another tank with less water. He stirred the net bag for a while. When he took the net bag out, there were several loaches swimming in the net bag covered with black mud.
Because the women in the tribe were giving birth constantly, Han Cheng later ordered the people in the tribe to keep the crucian carp of the right size and keep them in tanks when they catch fish, and to make crucian carp soup specifically for pregnant women who have just given birth or people who have been sick.
This is a very nutritious food.
Han Cheng also had people prepare loaches in advance. When needed, they could be scooped directly from the tank with a net bag. This was much more convenient and quicker than catching them in the river.
After skillfully processing the two things and marinating them slightly with some salt, Han Cheng put them into the pot. After the water boiled, he changed to low heat and simmered them slowly.
While slowly simmering the food, Han Cheng was wondering if the two bowls of rice prepared by Bai Xue's sister for her little girl would be blocked like when she gave birth to the little pea. If they were really blocked, Han Cheng wouldn't mind acting as an artificial breast pump again.
After all, this is for the sake of my little daughter's food.
In order to have food to eat for his children, Han Chengdu is willing to do even more difficult things, let alone act as an artificial breast pump.
Alas, there is no way, fatherly love is so great.
Han Cheng, who was adding fire to the wood stove, was thinking about these things and was actually moved.
I have to give my little girl a name!
After a while, Han Dashenzi, who was deeply moved, remembered the important matter of naming his daughter.
This little girl was born after her mother wanted to tell a joke, but she laughed herself to death before she could even utter a word. How about... just call her Han Xiao?
Always smile and be happy. This is indeed a good meaning. I just wonder if my daughter will be speechless and look up to the sky when she grows up and understands the origin of her name.
Han Cheng thought about this in his mind and was about to decide on the name. However, the next moment his expression became strange.
Smile in the grave...
What the hell is this name?
Han Cheng shook his head violently and threw the name Han Xiao out of his mind. It was too unreliable!
If your surname is Han, you can also take another character from Bai Xue's name to form a name.
In this way, the name becomes Han Bai, or...
Korean girl?
Han Cheng shook his head and rejected these names once again, always feeling that something was missing.
That's it, when naming their children, parents always give their children the best name first.
Therefore, when fifty or sixty years later, the future children of later generations will not find it strange at all to hear a group of old men and women in their seventies and eighties calling their children "Haoyu", "Zixuan", "Zichen" and the like. After all, who was not a baby once?
Or just call her Han Xing.
After his brain worked at high speed for a while, Han Cheng suddenly remembered the scene when Bai Xuemei was pregnant with the little girl and she kept crunching on green apricots. After swallowing his saliva, he thought to himself.
"Han Xing, Han Xing, Xing'er..."
Han Cheng sat here putting some firewood into the stove while muttering to himself. The more he muttered, the more comfortable he became with it, and a look of joy gradually appeared on his face.
Okay, from now on this little girl will be called Han Xing!
Naming children is a very stressful and time-consuming task. By the time Han Cheng decided on his daughter's name, the crucian carp soup and loach soup, which needed to be simmered over low heat for a long time, were already cooked.
Han Cheng poured the two kinds of whitish soup into two earthenware jars, and holding the ropes on them, he went to Bai Xuemei's room...
Han Cheng miscalculated. Bai Xuemei's two jobs for supporting her children were not blocked this time.
I don’t know if it was the effect of the crucian carp soup and loach soup, but by the evening the temperature had come down. Looking at the little girl who was eating so greedily, Han Cheng couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Why didn't he even give himself this opportunity to fully demonstrate his father's love?
It's really too much.
If you have a little girl, don't expect to have a good night's sleep at night. Whether it is in primitive times or in later times, newborn children who are still ignorant are always noisy.
Cry when you are thirsty, cry when you are hungry, cry when you wet the bed...
Han Cheng woke up five or six times that night and felt very uncomfortable.
However, after seeing his little girl fall asleep peacefully again, Han Cheng felt some pity for her again. This was really a painful and happy thing...
While Han Cheng was experiencing the pain and happiness, the people of the Qingque tribe, who were paddling their bamboo rafts all the way, also brought a lot of harvest and anchored in the middle of the river at sunset.
They had no intention of docking because their raft was carrying many dead sheep.
These dead sheep have wounds and smell of blood, which can easily attract some carnivorous beasts.
Today, when they were paddling the bamboo raft upstream, more than one ferocious beast appeared on both sides of the river. Some of them were even moving along with the raft on the shore. If it weren't for the river blocking the way, I'm afraid these guys would have come over impatiently to snatch food.
Under such circumstances, the people of the Qingque tribe who were paddling the bamboo raft would certainly not go ashore.
Under the control of the people paddling the bamboo rafts, the rafts were connected vertically and moored along the river in an open river channel.
Someone placed the portable stove that was brought on the raft, lit it, scooped water from the river, added it to the earthenware jar, put some food in it, and started cooking with a palm-leaf fan.
It was already dusk, and the fiery clouds dyed red by the blood-red setting sun were reflected in the river, creating a gorgeous scene.
A breeze blew, and the wisps of smoke rising from the bamboo rafts in the river were blown askew by the breeze, and some of them just floated slowly along the water surface.
Not far away, one or two fish would jump out of the water from time to time, and the scales on their bodies would flash beautifully under the light.
The setting sun, the river, the bamboo raft, the smoke from cooking, the leaping fish, and the beasts that do not hide their bodies on the shore form a beautiful picture of dusk and sunset...
"thump!"
"thump!"
The sounds of two heavy objects falling into the water came from the shore, and circles of water waves spread out in the surroundings.
Such a loud noise was not caused by a big fish jumping up and down, but by two tigers that had been following for a long time and finally couldn't help but jump into the water.
The noise here naturally alarmed the people of the Qingque tribe on the bamboo raft.
Because paddling a bamboo raft by water can avoid many dangers, when we were arranging the people today, only ten people were going to take the water route.
However, although there were only ten people, the people on the bamboo raft were not afraid when they saw the two tigers go into the water, walk forward for a while and then start swimming towards them.
On the contrary, they became excited as they watched the two tigers swimming closer and closer to them.
During the past two days when they were guarding the river and waiting for the sheep there, these people were already tempted by those sleek and ferocious beasts, but for various reasons, they never took action.
At this time, two tigers came to their doorstep. How could they not be happy?
Tigers are indeed fierce, but in water where they are not good at swimming, they will have no choice but to give in when they encounter primitive people who are even more fierce than them, standing on bamboo rafts and holding sharp polished bronze spears in their hands.
After a splash and rolling waves, the water surface gradually became quiet. The fiery clouds in the sky had slowly dissipated, but there was still some blood-red in the water near the bamboo raft.
This is the blood dripping from two tigers lying on the bamboo raft.
The two tigers lying quietly on the bamboo raft did not close their eyes and died with their eyes open.
They had encountered and eaten this kind of big monkey that could walk upright before. It was crunchy and tasted very good.
And those two encounters did not cause them any harm.
This time they encountered a big monkey that had left the tree and ran to the ground. They wanted to kill it again, but they failed and both lost their lives.
Didn't these big monkeys run away when they saw them? Why...
The people of the Green Bird Tribe were unaware of the tiger's doubts. After a fierce battle with the tiger, they were all soaked and were now immersed in the joy of their harvest.
A man wiped the water off his face, grabbed the tiger's tail and pulled it to the side, revealing the tiger's big balls covered with golden hair.
This man and the others who saw this scene couldn't help but grin.
The Son of God's favorite tiger is the male tiger. After catching a male tiger, his favorite thing to do is to cut off the male tiger's kidneys and eat them as food, and at the same time take out the tiger's penis to soak in wine.
这次自己等人猎到了一头公老虎,可想而知回去之后神子该有多高兴。
对这只老虎验了身之后,这人松开老虎的尾巴去给另外一只老虎验身。
边上有人说不用察看了,因为神子不止一次的说过,一山不容二虎,除非一公一母。
对于神子说的话,青雀部落的人总是那样的相信。
如今这被杀死的两只老虎,不仅仅一同沿着河岸,随着他们的竹筏往前走了小半天,而是一起下水过来想要伤害他们。
恩爱异常,关系和谐的一塌糊涂,当然是一公一母了。
如今那个老虎已经被验明正身,是一只公老虎,那么剩下的这一只,一定就是母老虎虎,根本就没有查看的必要。
然而,当这个人把这只老虎的尾巴也给扯起来之后,众人瞬间哑口无言,直接就懵掉了。
众人看看这只老虎的,再看看边上的那只老虎,全都陷入了呆滞状态。
说好的一山难容二虎,除非一公一母呢?
它们看起来这样的相亲相爱,一路同行,怎么全都是公的呢?
青雀部落的这些人,看着这两只死去的老虎,愣了一阵儿神之后,隐约之间觉得自己固有的观念有些崩塌……
“羊!羊!好多好多羊!”
撑着竹筏一路逆流而上的人,是第二天下午的时候回到部落的。
当他们出现在部落众人的视野里、部落里的人看清楚了竹筏上面载着的是什么之后,整个青雀部落一下子就变得沸腾了起来。
一些未成年人们,沿着河岸朝着逆流而上的竹筏飞快的跑去,嘴里激动的大呼小叫。
一些成年人也不淡定了,随着小孩子们一起朝着河流下游飞奔而去。
撑着竹筏的人们,见到这欢腾的景象,一个个也是笑逐颜开,抖擞精神,用竹篙撑着筏子往前走的更快了。
至于这些欢呼着迎接过来的未成年人的安全问题,是不用担心的。
自从昨夜他们把两只下水的老虎都给捅死,并抬上竹筏之后,沿河跟随的那些野兽就都散去了。
都说杀鸡可以儆猴,其实效果远远没有杀老虎来的强烈,不仅仅可以儆猴,其余的猛兽也能一道给震慑了。
韩成也被这声音给惊动了,一溜烟的跑出围墙,朝着河边码头而去。
对于大师兄他们的这次围猎,韩成可是抱着极大希望的。
自从去年冬天的时候,韩成从老羊他们的口中得知了那里有着一条羊群秋日里迁徙的路线之后,就一直留意着这件事情。
如果不是白雪妹的肚子越来越大,刚好赶到这一段时间生产,这一次韩成说什么都会跟着狩猎的队伍前去。
以前看动物世界的时候,每次看到大量的动物组成洪流进行迁徙的时候,韩成都会感到强烈的震撼,在震撼的同时,也会对自己不是那众多的捕食者中的一员感到深深的遗憾。
因为那些成群结队进行南迁的牲口们,看起来实在是太好吃了!
如今大师兄他们就去对着这些迁徙的动物进行狩猎去了,那收获……
纵然还没有见到结果,但是要想想就让人觉得激动异常。
跟着他一起往外跑的还有巫这个上了年纪的老神棍。
此时的巫,也不在拄他的拐棍了,听到外面响起的欢呼声之后,拄着拐棍猛走几步之后,嫌弃拄着拐棍速度太慢,直接把拐棍往胳膊底下一夹,一路飞奔着就朝大门外面而去,腿脚灵便的简直不像话。
比当初拄着双拐在韩成学校门口讨钱、见到没有人之后,把双拐收起来的那家伙跑的都快。
一路匆匆的来到外面,看到码头处的景象之后,韩成顿时就是愣了愣,心里的期待以及惊喜一下子就消失了大半!
这不是因为他嫌竹筏上面装着的羊太少,而是一起去狩猎的人,少了一大半!
就连作为首领的大师兄都没有在队伍里!
再看看那两只被放在竹筏上的老虎,韩成的心里往下沉得更加厉害了。
赶紧扯开嗓子询问情况,得知是捉到的羊太多,大师兄他们从陆路牵着运送了一批之后,韩成悬着的心这才算是放下来,同时也笑着询问起狩猎的经过这些。
见到尊敬的神子出来之后没有如同其余人那样,只看着那些羊欢呼,而是先询问剩下的人哪里去了,自己等人有没有人受伤,这些撑着筏子一路回来的人,心里都是觉得暖暖的,身上的疲乏一扫而空!
随后就开始兴高采烈的开始说讲述起他们这几天的经历。
羊群迁徙的场景,部落里的人大多都听老羊他们说过一些,但因为老羊他们的普通话学的还不是多好,表达的不够清楚,并且那样的场景,如果不是亲眼所见,很难想象的出来,所以众人对老羊他们的讲述大多不太相信。
但是此刻,有了这诸多的羊作证,诉说的人又都是部落里的老人手,普通话说的流利,所以随着他们的诉说,汇集在小河边上的众人,一个个都是听得目瞪口呆,忍不住的发出一阵阵的惊叹。
野生动物大规模迁徙的场景韩成没有亲身经历过,不过却在电视上看过不止一次。
虽没有亲身经历那般的震撼,但是也绝对比这些人描述的要强上许多倍。
不过韩成并没有开口打断他们的话,也没有露出不耐,而是站在这里面带笑容的认真倾听着。
这些人辛辛苦苦外出为部落带回来这么多的羊,这时候就是他们最为张脸的时候,就跟出征大获全胜归来的战士,进行夸功一样,这样的机会韩成自然要给他们。
在他看来,这是为部落做出了大贡献的人,应该得到的。
这样的欢腾持续到众人开始竹筏上的这一百七十八只大大小小的羊,外加两头死去的猛虎从竹筏上一一抬下来的时候达到了顶点。
这么多大大小小的羊弄在一起,而且还是一次性的弄回来这样多,纵然是韩成,也是忍不住的满心欢喜,更不要说其余人了……
“神子,为什么它们都是公的?”
“啥?”
韩成被这一句没头没尾的话给问懵掉了,看着这个问话的人出声反问。
“就是它们,您不是说一山不容二虎,除非一公一母吗?它们两个为啥都是公的?”
这人一手挠着脑袋,另外一只手指着躺在地上很是安详的两只老虎出声问道,一脸的求知欲。
其余一同撑着竹筏回来的人,这时候也都围拢了上来,看着韩成也是同样的充满了求知欲。
这个困惑,可是足足的困扰了他们一路。
额……
在弄明白了他们疑惑之后,韩成一时间居然变得哑口无言了起来,这看问题的角度,是真刁钻啊!
你们还是不是纯洁的原始人了?
“这个,可能它们是好兄弟吧,对就是好兄弟,所以才能够和睦相处不打架。”
韩成挠挠脑袋,终于想出了一个相对合理的解释。
“就跟我和他一样?”
部落里的人,如今举一反三的能力还是很不错的,在听到了韩大神子的解释,一番思索之后,众人貌似明白了一些什么。
然后那个最先开口询问的人,就指着身边的一个人,开了口。
他跟这个人之间,可是从来都没有发生过冲突,看起来跟这两只老虎很像。
那自己两人应该就是神子说的好兄弟了吧?
“咳咳……”
韩成被这家伙这猝不及防的操作唬的有些架不住,剧烈的咳嗽了起来。
“对!对,你们就是好兄弟……赶紧收拾这些羊吧,晚上的时候,咱们炖羊肉吃!”
韩成抽抽鼻子,赶紧岔开话题,不在这方面多做纠缠。
他这样一个纯良的大好青年,可不能被这些家伙们给带坏。
这十来个人,被神子的反应弄的有些懵,刚才自己有说错什么吗?
那个刚刚问话的人挠挠自己的脑袋,再看看身边那个同样和他一样有些懵的人,只觉得脑子更加转不过来弯了。
仔细想想,自己和这个人之间和这两只老虎就是很像嘛……
可神子为什么……
好在在美食的**下,众人的纠结不会太过于持久,这些人也很快的就和其余人一起,加入了热火朝天的处理羊的工作之中,不再思索一山难容二虎的事情。
这一批的羊,死去的有四十多只,按照韩成的指示,全都被剥皮开膛了。
除了这些之外,还有十几只受伤严重,为了避免它们掉膘,韩成也让人给一并的宰杀了。
留下两只今晚上使用,其余的,一部分用盐里里外外的搓揉了,然后用麻绳栓起来吊起进行风干晾晒,另外一部分用大陶缸给煮了,然后切成片制成羊肉干。
部落里这么多的人,只留下两只羊当然是不够吃的,不过不要忘了,还有将近六十副的羊杂呢!
这些东西收拾收拾,熬煮了之后,部落里的人一顿都吃不完!
As everyone was busy but in a relatively orderly manner, a rich fragrance began to waft through the tribe.
After processing the mutton offal, Han Cheng had them cooked.
It is impossible not to cook them. After all, most of these sheep died yesterday. If they are not cooked quickly, they will be in bad condition by the next morning.
Han Cheng was not idle either. He was now carefully scrubbing some sheep intestines.
After making sure it is clean, find a sharp copper knife and slowly and carefully cut it into connected lines.
He was preparing to make some catgut, after all, it was indispensable when suturing wounds.
At the side, Liang was also cutting carefully with a copper knife, looking very serious, for fear that he might damage it by accident.
