The Liu brothers took the pancakes and, following Sheng Xiping's instructions, removed the meat skewers and placed them on the pancakes, along with some pickled vegetable shreds.
Then roll up the pancake, put it in your mouth, take a big bite and chew a couple of times.
The aroma of meat mixed with the salty fragrance of pickled vegetables, wrapped in a sweet pancake, is incredibly delicious.
"Mmm, mmm, delicious. You're quite clever, aren't you? You know how to think about food."
Liu Yujiang nodded as he ate. This was the first time he had ever eaten barbecue like this. It was delicious.
"It's a pity there are no scallions. If there were some scallion shreds or something, it would be even more fragrant."
Sheng Xiping took a big bite of the pancake, chewed it slowly, savored it, and then said with some regret.
"You kid, come on, you're going up the mountain to hunt, and you don't expect to be wearing glasses."
Upon hearing this, the Liu brothers burst into laughter, and the lingering fear of being nearly pounced on by the bear vanished.
And so, the three brothers grilled the meat and devoured the dozen or so pancakes that Sheng Xiping had brought.
Given their appetites, the three of them eating ten or so pancakes is no big deal at all.
After finishing the pancakes, he ate the sticky rice cakes along with some pickled vegetable shreds.
After finishing our meal, it was already past one o'clock. There were still these two big brown bears in front of us. We didn't know how to get them back.
"Brother, how about this, you and my second brother take the guns and go back to the village, and bring back two sleds."
I'll lead the dog and stay here to guard this place. Even if we have to work late, we have to get these two bears back today.
Otherwise, if left alone in the mountains overnight, who knows what wild animals might harm them.
Normally, when hunting a wild boar, weighing two or three hundred pounds, or even a slightly larger one, three people can easily haul it back on a simple sled.
But those two bears are big shots; expecting the three of them to drag them back is a joke.
That's why Sheng Xiping told Liu Yujiang and his brother to go back and drive the sleds.
"Besides, the three of us should go up the mountain together. What's the point of leaving you here on the mountain?"
Let's go back together, then we'll get back to the team, hitch up the sleds, and come back together.
These two are so big that ordinary people can't move them at all. Even if some wild animals cause trouble, they can't be eaten completely; there will always be some left.
"We've already got the bear bile, so how much meat is too much?"
How could Liu Yujiang leave Sheng Xiping alone in the mountains? Who knows what wild animals might be lurking in this deep forest?
All six dogs were injured and had eaten their fill, so their fighting ability was reduced. What if they encountered some danger and Sheng Xiping got caught in the crossfire? That would be absolutely unacceptable.
After discussing it, the three decided to follow Liu Yujiang's suggestion and abandon the two bears on the mountain.
They led the dogs back to the village first, then hitched up a sled to go into the mountains, and then brought the bear back.
So the three of them extinguished the fire and led the dog back home.
The dogs were all full and a bit lazy. They weren't as excited on the way back, just staying close to their owner and not running around.
The group hurried back to the forest farm, took the dog home, and then Liu Yuhe went to the livestock shed and harnessed two horse-drawn sleds.
The three brothers drove their horse-drawn sleds, galloping all the way back into the mountains, and as they went, the sky gradually darkened.
When they arrived at the place where the bears had been killed during the day, a large flock of crows landed on the two bear carcasses, hoping to snatch them up.
The three men stepped forward, chased away the crows, and then used a lever to pry the two bears onto the sled little by little.
Brown bears are ferocious beasts. The horses pulling the sled smelled the brown bear and were so frightened that they snorted, neighed, and pawed at each other with their hooves.
After finally getting the bear onto the sled, as soon as the rope was untied, the horse took off running, dragging the sled back home.
The three of them hurriedly got on the sled and drove it back.
It was already past seven o'clock in the evening when Sheng Xiping and the others returned to the village.
"Hey boss, don't unload it yet. Leave one of the bears behind and take it straight to Xiping's house on the sled. It'll save you a lot of trouble."
Liu Changde was getting anxious waiting at home, so he kept sneaking around inside and outside the house. Just as he was coming out, he saw Liu Yujiang and the others returning.
Liu Changde quickly waved to Liu Yujiang, signaling him to send a bear to the Sheng family.
"Master, please don't! Just give me a little, don't give me so much." Sheng Xiping hurriedly stopped him upon hearing this.
This granary wasn't discovered by Sheng Xiping. He went up the mountain today purely to help. How could he take half of it? There's no such rule.
"Why are you wasting your breath talking to your master? These two guys are both pretty big shots. If they stay at my house, how are we supposed to eat them? We'll have to eat them until next year."
You don't need to say anything, just listen to me, hurry up and get one of them home, then come back for dinner.
Your teacher's wife and sister-in-law cooked several dishes and warmed up some good wine. It's been a while since we've all gotten together; let's have a drink tonight.
Liu Changde didn't care about any of that and waved his hand at his son.
Liu Yujiang and Liu Yuhe understood, tied one of the sleds to their doorstep, and then drove the sled towards the Sheng family.
Upon seeing this, Sheng Xiping hurriedly ran back to the forest farm and arrived at his own door.
Before the sled even stopped, the dogs in the yard smelled the bear and instantly became agitated, barking incessantly.
Hearing the commotion, the people inside quickly came out to check. "You just got back? The family was getting really anxious waiting for you."
"Have you eaten? Come in and eat quickly." Zhang Shuzhen saw that it was her son and the two Liu brothers, and quickly invited them inside to eat.
"Auntie, we won't stay for dinner. We've prepared a lot of dishes at home, and my dad is waiting for us to come back for a drink."
