Put the bear paws into the pot, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for another three hours.
We started stewing the hen soup and bear paws at eight in the morning, and it was already past one in the afternoon when the bear paws were finally served.
At noon, the three of them each had a bowl of chicken soup with vermicelli, and they were already quite satisfied. They were just waiting for the highlight, the braised bear paw, to be served.
The moment the lid of the pot is opened, the whole house is filled with fragrance.
"Wow, it smells so good, so good!"
The little girl standing next to it was drooling and she kept standing on tiptoe to look into the pot.
Lin Xiuqin took a serving plate, took out a piece of bear paw and put it on the plate first, then poured the soup, pork elbow and chicken pieces on the bear paw and handed it to Chen Wang next to her.
"marvelous."
Chen Wang took the plate of food excitedly.
"Brother, brother, I want to eat, I want to eat."
The little girl couldn't wait to jump up and down.
"Got it, follow me."
"Uh-huh!"
The two walked towards the dining table together.
Lin Xiuqin scooped out the remaining bear paw in the pot and walked over with the plate.
Bear paws are very big and it is difficult for one person to finish them.
With the addition of pork elbow, chicken nuggets and other ingredients, it is enough for three people.
The little monkey was also given a small bowl to try.
As for the puppy Ruyi, it’s not that she was reluctant to let go, but dogs can’t eat food with such a strong smell, and he is only one month old.
Lin Xiuqin had already cooked meat porridge and fed the dog in the morning.
If you want to train a puppy into a powerful hunting dog, you must feed it raw meat.
Having tasted the prey and knowing the benefits of hunting such prey, when they enter the mountains and smell the scent of wild boars and black bears, they will know to chase them down and bite them.
But the puppies are still too young and their stomachs cannot digest raw meat.
“Delicious, so delicious!”
The little girl took a bite and cheered happily.
After 5 hours of stewing, the bear paw has been completely stewed until it is soft and tasty, and has a strong gelatinous texture. It seems to have the aroma of beef and the gelatinous texture of pork elbow. When chewing it in the mouth, it can bring people a strong sense of satisfaction.
Chen Wang also took a big bite and felt the gravy bursting in his mouth. As a meat lover, he felt that no meat could be more delicious than this.
It is worthy of being one of the eight delicacies and the first dish of the Manchu-Han banquet!
In the end, Chen Wang ate one portion alone, while the little girl shared one portion with Lin Xiuqin.
After eating and drinking, Chen Wang moved a chair and sat at the door in a daze.
The little girl followed suit, holding the puppy in her arms.
Jixiang sat on Chen Wang's shoulders.
At this time, a villager passed by the door, saw him sitting at the door, and asked loudly:
"Awang, I heard that you and Dazhuang fought a bear? Is it true?"
"Who said that?"
Chen Wang asked back.
"Someone saw it. Da Zhuang just sold two bear paws and bear meat to Lao Qian!"
"Oh, that's true. Good luck!"
"You can't kill a black bear just by luck. You two are really capable. How much did you sell the bear's gall for? Did you make a fortune this time?"
"No, it's just a piece of iron, it didn't sell for much."
"Iron gall, that's a pity, many bears killed in winter have golden galls."
"Yeah, it's okay, I'm already content."
"Sure, sure. Awang, you've become more and more capable now that your brain has opened up."
"You are joking."
After chatting for a while, the uncle whose name Chen Wang didn't even know left.
Chen Wang couldn't help but sigh.
People are afraid of becoming famous just like pigs are afraid of getting fat.
This time, he and Chen Dazhuang might really become the most prominent young men in the village.
Of course there are benefits, but there are more troubles.
His prediction was exactly right, and soon the whole village knew that they had killed a bear.
For a time, the two of them became the "other people's children" that many elders used as comparison when teaching their own children.
Especially Chen Wang.
He was a fool a few days ago, but after he suddenly became wise, he became an expert in hunting, catching black goats and wild boars, and now he has even caught bears.
Isn’t this an example of success through hard work and counterattack?
There are many idle young people in the village like Chen Feng and Qiao Zhijie.
The elders worry every day about how to preach and get them back on track.
Now that the example is right around us, we must talk about it in detail.
"Look at you, and then look at Awang. You were a fool before, but now you can even beat a bear."
"You're out drinking again, smoking, drinking and playing cards. Can you learn something good? Awang knows, right? People can earn money to support their families now, and you're still asking us for money!"
"Even fools know how to work hard. Why do you just lie here and sleep all day? Get out of here!"
"Have you heard that Awang..."
…
On this day, Chen Wang became a promising and handsome young man in the eyes of the village elders, but he was also envied by the second-rate guys of the same age in the village.
