Dashan Makes a Living 1984 Chapter 107

   Chapter 107 105: Fading

  Wang Tianxiao remembered something on the way, and went to the supply and marketing center in the town to buy fifty catties of salt.

  Salt in this era is the kind of coarse salt that is eaten in large chunks, a bit like rock sugar grains.

  The main components of this salt are magnesium sulfate and magnesium chloride. The processing method is quite simple, and it is basically obtained by repeated crystallization of seawater.

  Because the magnesium chloride in it is easy to decompose, it is easy to form hydrochloric acid when heated, and then generate amino acids. Therefore, if coarse salt is used for cooking, strictly speaking, it is more fragrant than the fine salt of later generations, that is, refined salt.

  But coarse salt is crudely prepared after all, without effective purification, and it contains trace elements that are beneficial to the human body. And because of the rapid crystallization, many trace elements harmful to human body in seawater are also mixed into it.

  As people pay more and more attention to food safety, coarse salt is gradually eliminated by refined salt, and only some special uses can be retained.

  The crystallization process of fine salt is more refined. Specifically, the crystallization time is short and the temperature range is small, so the salt produced is more delicate and contains a single substance.

  The reason why Wang Tianxiao understands this is because his son Wang Peng taught him.

   After Wang Peng graduated with a master's degree in chemical engineering, he worked as the production director of a chemical company, and was in charge of the salt chemical department.

  The station is not short of salt for food. Wang Tianxiao bought salt this time to deal with animal fur.

  All animal furs have to be processed when they are peeled off. They are actually some protein tissues. If there is no special processing, they will rot in a short time.

  Salting is the most common treatment method.

  Wang Tianxiao returned to the station with 80 catties of wine and 50 catties of salt. He was surprised to find that Liu Yuan had not only skinned the honey dog ​​for him, but even the deer was almost half skinned.

  Wang Tianxin stood by his side to help, and the two cooperated quite tacitly.

   Seeing the salt and wine on Wang Tianxiao's motorcycle, Liu Yuan narrowed his eyes with a smile.

   "Why, you peel the rest, or should I continue to peel it for you?" Liu Yuan pointed to the half-peeled deer in front of him.

  Wang Tianxiao took down the wine and brought it to him, "You rest, I will peel the rest."

   "Well, I happen to have a terrible back pain. I was tossing around with those honey dogs at noon and hurt my back."

   "Then hurry up and take a break, Tianxin, give Uncle Liu a bench."

   "Okay."

  I won't see you for a while, but Wang Tianxin and Liu Yuan's relationship has become much closer, and he is also running fast to give him a bench.

   At this time, Wang Tiancheng also came out of the kitchen. He had something to do when he went home temporarily, and he will return to the station again.

  Wang Tianxiao didn't ask what happened to the Kangyuan, as long as his mother didn't have something to do, he generally didn't want to get involved.

   "Brother, you are back."

  Wang Tiancheng helped Wang Tianxiao take the wine off the motorcycle, "Where do you put this?"

   "Let's put it in the No. 1 library first."

"OK."

  There are two warehouses in the station, the No. 2 warehouse in the middle is the smallest, and there are deer in it. There is still a large No. 1 warehouse, which is divided into six small warehouses, and some furs of wild animals are temporarily stored in it.

  Before he didn't deal with the fur, he was too busy to take care of it before, and now he is free now, and he will deal with it one by one slowly.

  Use it if you can use it, and sell it for money if you can't use it.

  Last time Wu Wenhua said that he wanted to beat his wife with a wolf and get a wolf skin. If there is no chance, he can temporarily replace it with other skins.

  Honey dog ​​fur is much more comfortable than wolf fur.

  Wang Tiancheng went to the warehouse with a barrel of wine in one hand.

  Wang Tianxiao changed into old clothes, took over the remaining work from Liu Yuan and continued to work.

  Wang Tianxin also returned to the side of the deer, staring at his brother's handling method, unwilling to blink.

   "Brother, you are not as fast as old man Liu." Wang Tianxin observed for a while and made a conclusion.

   "Haha, that's for sure, I'm not a professional hunter, how can I catch up with Uncle Liu." Wang Tianxiao was not depressed, his skinning skills were mediocre, but Liu Yuan's ability still made him very satisfied.

  Not long after he met Liu Yuan, he saw that the old man had very professional hunting knowledge, so he wanted to attract him to the station to develop together.

  Anyway, the information he revealed between the lines is that he is not married and has no children, so he is considered a bachelor, and it is also a helper to keep him at the station.

   "Tiancheng, how is Lao Wu's meal?"

   "It's almost ready, don't you see that the deer is missing some meat?" Wang Tiancheng had already put away the wine.

  Wang Tianxiao noticed that there were indeed a few pieces of meat missing from the ribs of the deer, which seemed to be cut by a knife, and it should be Liu Yuanxia's hand.

   "Okay, tell them to wait for me for a while, and I'll finish peeling this. The longer you leave it, the harder it will be to peel."

"good."

  Liu Yuan couldn't wait to touch a bowl from the kitchen, and had already poured a bowl of wine and drank a big gulp. Smash your lips, and sigh freely: "Comfortable, this is the taste, very pure, not mixed with a little water. Young man, where did you get such mellow wine?"

  Wang Tianxiao doesn't drink well. Although he can drink half a catty to eight taels of baijiu, he is forced to drink every time. He has never had much interest in drinking, and he can't tell what is good wine and what is not.

  He asked Zhang Wenyuan to help prepare the wine, and he didn't emphasize the need for good wine, thinking that the baijiu produced in Qingcheng would not be much better anyway.

   But I didn't expect that even if it was an ordinary wine, with Zhang Wenyuan's ability, he could find the best grade among them, which made Liu Yuan happy.

  He smiled and said, "I have a friend who is in the puree wine business. Let him mix some for me. Just drink it if you like it."

   "I like it, I like this one, why don't I like it," Liu Yuan put the wine bowl under his nose and sucked hard, and couldn't help sighing again, "It's really fragrant."

   "Drink some, young and old, and drink it after dinner." Wang Tianxiao didn't expect Liu Yuan to be so addicted to alcohol.

   "Okay, then I'll stop after I finish this sip," Liu Yuan drank the rest of the wine in one gulp, carefully licked the wine bowl, and tightly closed the lid of the wine barrel, making sure that it wouldn't leak out several times before he was relieved.

  Wang Tianxiao saw it, and thought to himself while peeling the skin. Since the old man likes to drink so much, it proves that he has desires. As long as people have desires, they are easy to be driven by profit.

  The gap that keeps him in the station starts with finding what he likes, isn't it just a few cents a catty of wine, he can let him drink enough for a lifetime.

  Liu Yuan was reluctant to part with his wine barrel, and moved wherever he went.

   What's funny is that Wang Tianxiao saw him addicted to alcohol, and thought he was a good drinker. Unexpectedly, he started talking nonsense after drinking a bowl, and couldn't control his mouth.

  Wang Tianxiao had no choice but to tell Wang Tianxin secretly, to tell Tiancheng to help Liu Yuan prepare the room next to the warehouse, and let Liu Yuan live there at night.

  I wanted to have a good chat with the old man, touch his family background and personnel relationship, and see if he was really single.

   But looking at it like this, I don't know if I can eat it later.

  Hearing this, Tianxin went to the kitchen to find his fifth brother.

  Wang Tianxiao smiled again and told Liu Yuan to drink more slowly. Liu Yuan agreed, but his eyes kept looking into the barrel, and he didn't know how much effort he had to hold back.

  He sat on the horse, closed his eyes, tapped his thighs with his hands, and began to hum the tune of Qin Opera.

   "The wife of the chaff suffers so much

  The kindness in adversity is as deep as the sea

  You go to Beijing and go, no news

  I hope you lean on the chai gate day and night

  Why do we meet and not recognize each other?

  You forget old love and new love”

   It was actually a clip of a beauty case. Wang Tianxiao loved Qin Opera very much. In his previous life, after sending his grandson to school, he would sit on the wall of his son's community garden, with a small radio next to him, which played famous clips of Qin Opera repeatedly.

   This beauty case is a classic song, so it is naturally familiar.

  Liu Yuan sang that Qin Xianglian went to the capital to meet Chen Shimei, but was kicked out by her husband for pretending to be an official's wife. She was in extreme pain, and there was a simple challenge.

   Then there are some plots in which Chen Shimei and her children meet painfully but dare not recognize each other.

   As a special type of opera in Shaanxi, Qin Opera is naturally very popular in Long Province. Many old people can hum it, but Liu Yuan belongs to the kind of players who have no skills and are all emotional.

  The singing voice is really good, but it has a flavor of its own, which sounds quite interesting.

  Wang Tianxiao withdrew his gaze and began to concentrate on peeling the deer.

  Liu Yuan had already cut the deerskin to the front leg, and it was still a short cut away.

  Deer stripping and wolf stripping are generally similar, but slightly different.

The body of the wolf is relatively small, and it is basically peeled off at one time. However, the weight of the deer is nearly 200 catties. When cutting, you can take the opportunity to cut off some meat and oil in time to prevent the smell from being lost due to too long a delay. .

   Fortunately, Liu Yuan is very experienced, and Wang Tianxiao found that he had cut off everything that needed to be dealt with in advance.

   This saves him a lot of trouble, he only needs to concentrate on peeling.

   After noon, the sun slowly began to move to the west, and soon it became cold.

  The winter in the north is like this. Standing in the sun, in the lee, can burn people to death.

   But when you come to a place facing the wind, or a place without the sun, it will immediately become much colder.

   Once the sun slides to the west, the cold is an instant thing.

   Before the last bit of warmth left the roof of the station, Wang Tianxiao's knife was flying, cutting, spinning, and picking, and slowly peeled the deerskin to the neck.

  The deer head has been taken away first, and the skinning will end at this position.

  He was carrying a whole piece of deerskin, which weighed several kilograms and was heavy.

  He was not in a hurry to rest, the next step was the highlight.

   There are four updates today, the third is an update, and the first is an update for friends of "You Fang Dao Ren You Si Fang".
