At this time, the second master's loud voice was heard from the yard.
"Dog! Here I come!"
"Where is the warehouse, Second Master? Come over and see what this is?" Meng Fei lay down at the door and shouted to Second Master.
"Come on, come on, let me see what good stuff there is." Hearing Meng Fei's words, the second master quickened his pace and trotted to the warehouse.
Looking at the blue cocoon in the refrigerator, Erye smiled.
"Hey! Is this what you wanted me to see? I thought it was something else. It's just a cocoon. What's so special about it? There are not many of them in the mountains."
"Second Master, this is not an ordinary cocoon. Look at the beef!" Meng Fei pointed to the beef that had been eaten beyond recognition.
But when he saw the beef, Erye raised his eyebrows and asked in disbelief: "What...what! This little thing eats this meat?"
Meng Fei pulled the corner of his mouth and showed a bitter smile: "Well, a few days ago, there was still half of the refrigerator, but after a few days, there are only a few pieces left..."
Hearing Meng Fei's words, the Second Master couldn't help but show a look of shock. Suddenly, something came to his mind and he quickly spoke.
"Gouzi! I did hear a story from the older generation. It was more than 60 years ago when I first came to Mengjiagou and I heard the old people talking about it.
According to the older generation, many years ago, there was a year that was unusually hot. Not a single drop of rain fell throughout the entire year, and the crops failed. The people were miserable.
There was no other way, so the villagers had to go into the mountains to find food.
Because there are many mountains in our Greater Khingan Range, with even more strange peaks and high mountains, a villager named Liu walked a long way and climbed up a mountain whose name he didn't know to find food.
Strangely enough, not long after he climbed the mountain, he felt that the unbearable feeling of heat disappeared. Not only that, he even felt a little cold.
Driven by curiosity, the villager climbed towards the top of the mountain, but the closer he got to the top, the lower the temperature became. When he reached the top, he even saw snow.
At this time, he found a big hole on the top of the mountain, and the cold air was coming out of the hole.
He looked at the cave entrance for a long time but couldn't figure out what it was, so he went down the mountain along the other side.
But on the way back, he always felt cold all over. Even when walking under the sun, he still felt cold. When he got home, he found that a big blue bug had crawled into his pocket at some point.
And the cool air came from the insect.
People at that time had serious feudal ideas and thought that the bug was a monster, so they threw it into their vegetable cellar. The bug couldn't crawl out, so they simply ignored it.
What made the villager happy was that the area around his home was particularly cool and refreshing throughout the summer.
Even near his home, there would be a few drizzles from time to time. These drizzles might not be a big deal at ordinary times, but at that time, they were more precious than gold.
In this way, the villagers in the village also took advantage of the situation and managed to get some harvest.
When winter approached, the villager wanted to put the cabbage and potatoes into the cellar, so he opened the door of the cellar.
But as soon as he opened it, a blue butterfly as big as a palm flew out from the vegetable cellar and circled over his house many times before leaving.
After the butterfly flew away, the village welcomed its first snow.
Later people called the blue bug "Xuechan" and the butterfly it transformed into "Xuedie."
The Second Master spoke slowly, then looked at Meng Fei seriously and continued:
"Gouzi, this isn't Xuechan, is it? Where did you bring this thing back from?"
Meng Fei pondered for a moment, and suddenly an idea occurred to him. This blue cocoon was most likely the snow cicada that the second master had mentioned.
Moreover, his experience was extremely similar to that of the villager, both of them had been to the ice cave.
This snow cicada was probably brought back accidentally when I entered the ice cave.
"Second Master, this should be the snow cicada you mentioned. I have been to Baigu Peak once before. It should have been brought back from the ice cave." Meng Fei said.
"You are really lucky, this little creature is known as a symbol of good fortune. Okay, just put it in the refrigerator and keep it. I guess it will turn into a butterfly and fly away in winter."
The two men leaned over the refrigerator for a long time before closing the door. Then they walked to the freezer next to it and took out two processed beef hind legs.
Fortunately, Stationmaster Cui had delivered several large freezers earlier, otherwise their BBQ tonight would have been ruined.
Meng Fei first fixed the beef leg on a large iron fork with wire, and then placed it next to the fire to thaw.
I ran into the kitchen and started preparing the ingredients.
At this time, the small animals next to the ham couldn't help swallowing their saliva when they saw the fat beef thigh, but reason finally overcame desire.
They knew that this fat beef thigh would taste ten thousand times better after being cooked by Meng Fei!
After a while, Meng Fei prepared the ingredients and walked out of the room. At this time, the beef leg had basically thawed, and the outermost layer had begun to change color slightly due to being smoked by charcoal fire.
Meng Fei placed two beef thighs on the table, pulled out the short blade from his waist, cut several deep cuts on the surface so deep that the bones could be seen, and then evenly spread the special sauce made from various spices prepared in advance on the surface of the beef.
After finishing everything, Meng Fei hung the steak on top of the charcoal fire and roasted it slowly.
As the charcoal fire continues to roast, the surface of the beef gradually becomes golden and crispy, as if covered by a thin layer of golden gauze.
The golden appearance sparkles with charming light, making people want to taste it immediately.
As time goes by, the aroma of barbecue meat becomes stronger and stronger, filling the air with a mouth-watering flavor.
This enticing aroma wafts into the air, like the hand of a young woman, gently teasing everyone's taste buds.
When the little animals nearby smelled the fragrance, their eyes widened in anticipation.
The whole yard was silent, with only the sizzling sound of oil oozing from the surface of the cow leg and the occasional sound of saliva falling to the ground.
"Oh! This little taste! It's so delicious!" Erye took a deep breath and exclaimed in admiration.
"Why haven't your second uncle and his wife come yet? They are so hesitant! What? We have to go and invite them!!!" The second uncle swallowed and complained with some dissatisfaction.
"Haha!! Here I come! I'm picking up pickled garlic at home! I'm not afraid that you'll get greasy from eating only meat, so I'll prepare some pickled garlic to help you get rid of the greasiness." As soon as the second master finished speaking, the second uncle brought the second aunt into the yard, holding a big bowl in his hand, with a bowl of black stuff in the bowl.
