Mountain driving career since 1982

Chapter 411 A Pair of Black Shoes

Chapter 411

Just kidding, Chen Xiuqing would not be Lu Lu's opponent, and she was quickly defeated.

Keeping silent has always been the simplest and most effective way for him to respond.

Seeing Chen Xiuqing like this, Lu Lu had nothing to say.

Meng Zhaohua had already finished his meal and left. He had to return the borrowed car back to the forest farm. In his own words, the relationship was not good enough to be able to drive home. The reason for paying 25 yuan is that Meng Zhaohua himself needs to take care of it.

Lu Lu began to think in his heart, what method can he use to buy a car earlier, so that it will be convenient to use.

Four Fraxinus mandshurica sticks were baked on the fire with the bark. The bark was burnt, and the wood inside was also burnt black and red. The skin was completely peeled off. Lu Lu found sandpaper, polished it a little, and then Comparing my own height, I cut two sections that are as tall as half a person.

Looking at the two ash sticks in his hands, they are straight, smooth, and quite beautiful, Lu Lu believes that when they are made, they will be very handy skiing aids.After finishing, together with the two cut off by Chen Xiuqing himself, they were sent to the overheated pipe of the kang stove and pressed with heavy objects for drying.

He asked Chen Xiuqing to bring firewood and put it on the fire of the kang stove, while he went to the coal pile, got some water, mixed the fine coal with moisture, carried it to the kang stove with a bucket, and stuck it on the burning firewood of the kang stove , poked three holes in it with tongs, and put the lid on.

Wang Dalong is indeed a well-known master in making woodcuts, even the kang stove made of turning heads and refractory bricks is quite well done, once the lid is closed, you can hear the whirring sound of the wind.

If these fine coals are mixed with some yellow mud and turned into briquettes, they will be more durable to burn, but Lu Lu doesn't have the time to get them now.

The temperature at night has become very low. This is the first time that Lu Lu has lit the kang stove. It is a good time to try it at night. How is the temperature on the kang? I believe it will be a very warm night.

Chen Xiuqing was helping Lu Lu use a hunting knife to compare the dried wild boar skin to a wooden horse, and cut off six pieces. Then the wild boar skin had to be sewn on the oak board with tendons.

This one is very particular, the hair facing the pointed end is smooth, so it is very smooth when skiing. On the contrary, when climbing, the wild boar hair is like fine and dense stubble, which has strong friction on the snow surface. , can walk on the hillside without slipping.

Lu Lu just prepared the materials and sent them to Zhao Yongke after two days later, when the curvature of the plank was completely set.

Chen Xiuqing didn't leave until Ceng had dinner. This kid still likes Lu Lu's family's food. Whenever he has a chance, he must eat at Ceng.

The day passed quietly.

At night, the heated kang made the couple sleep comfortably. The temperature on the kang was very suitable and lasted for a long time.It's just that when I woke up in the morning, my whole body felt like being dried out, and it was inevitable that I would be filled with water.

Just like sleeping on an electric blanket for a long time in the south, it is comfortable, but it also makes the water in the body evaporate much faster.

However, after a while, when it gets colder, this temperature is very suitable.

When I first came to the Yanwo Island Farm in the Great Northern Wilderness as an educated youth, Lu Lu lived in a shack with others logging on the mountain in winter. It was roasted so that it smelled burnt.

Only when it's too cold can you know how comfortable this kind of temperature that can dry people is.

Waiting for those jackal skins to be tanned, sewn into large pieces and spread on the kang for heat insulation, this situation will be well alleviated.

Even if Lu Lu, Zhao Yongke and Chen Xiuqing divided the more than 20 jackal skins equally, they could still sew a large piece.

For the matter of sleeping, Lu Lu felt like he was in a nest.

For the next three days, Lu Lu still rode Chasing Wind, led Yuanbao, and went deeper into the mountain to continue hunting its small animals, exploring the environment on the mountain, and making records.After three days, I traveled to many places and made many records.

Until the fourth day, Lu Lu did not go up the mountain again, the weather became cloudy, and the north wind blew like a knife, making people feel a little pain on the face. Lu Lu knew that there would be a heavy snowfall next, The real winter has come.

The first thing I do when I get up in the morning is to clean up the ashes in the kang stove, and add coal to the kang stove that has been burning all night to ensure the temperature inside the wood carving.

It's going to snow, so hurry up and make the wooden horse!

Lu Lu then removed the oak boards that had been stuck on the stakes for a few days and had already been shaped. He saw off the excess part of the tip and trimmed it to a rounded tip. , Burn small holes one centimeter from the edge of the board for sewing pigskin.

For the six boards, it took Lu Lu almost a whole morning just to make these small holes, and it was finally finished.

Chen Xiuqing avoided this troublesome thing again, and after throwing the things here to Lu Lu, she never cared about them again.

Seeing that it was still a while before noon, he went to Zhao Yongke's house with the board and pigskin in his arms.

As soon as he arrived at Caodianzi where they lived, Lu Lu heard a dog barking from Caodianzi.

As soon as he stepped into the meadow, he saw Zhao Yongke, who was wearing thick Suen, come out to greet him, and also saw two Oroqen hounds, one black and one white, tied to the kennel.

"Brother Zhao, when did you buy the dog?"

When Lu Lu followed Zhao Yongke into the yard, he looked at the two Oroqen hounds. From his point of view, they were also two very good Oroqen hounds, but they were worse than Heizui. Adult dog.

"It's winter, and it's inevitable to go into the mountains. It's impossible without a dog. My grandma went to Jiayin to look for dogs. I heard that there were hunters who wanted to sell dogs. After I went to see them, I spent 50 yuan to buy them." I bought two and came back, they are not bad, they are all fragrant, but fortunately, they are very strong, and they can be used."

Drawing on the experience of Hei Zui's rebellion, they bought an adult dog directly this time.

Seeing them like this, Lu Lu also knew that the two of them wanted to do something big this winter.

Hunting is good in winter, and the tracks on the snow are the best to grasp. No one wants to miss this good opportunity.

"I'm here to ask you to help me sew a wooden horse!"

Lu Lu followed Zhao Yongke into the house, put down the wooden planks and pigskin he carried in his hands, and directly explained his purpose: "I don't have ribs, and my own sewing skills are not good, and I need your help for the shoe covers on the wooden horse! "

"It's a small matter! I can come and get it later!" Zhao Yongke looked at the things Lu Lu brought and said with a smile.

Zhao Tuanqing sat on the big kang, smoking a cigarette: "Show me something!"

Lu Lu hurriedly handed the pigskin and the oak board to Zhao Tuanqing. He looked at them one by one, and nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that you have already learned how to handle this wooden horse. It is very well made."

"Famous teachers produce outstanding apprentices!"

Of course Lu Lu is happy to be able to pass Zhao Tuanqing's eyes.

"Sit on the kang..."

Zhao Yongke greeted Lu Lu to go to the kang, while Wu Nakan put down the sewing work at hand and was busy making tea for Lu Lu.

"Sister-in-law Wu Nakan, don't be too busy, I have to go to Huilongtun to deal with those two ski poles... I have to catch up with the snow and practice skiing! Let's go!" Lu Lu still has a pile I have to be busy with things, I don't want to delay.

He left after speaking, but was stopped by Zhao Yongke.

"Those jackal skins have been tanned and sewn up, and the wolverine skin has also been finished! Since you are here, you just take it back, so I don't need to send it. Also, I asked Wu Nakan to make a pair for you. You should try it too!"

As Zhao Yongke said, he went into the back room and quickly brought out a roll of fur and a pair of black shoes.

The 靰鞡 shoes are made of roe deer skin. They may look unattractive and bulky, but they are definitely a sharp tool for walking in the snow in winter.

The roe deer skin can prevent snow and water from being soaked, and it is stuffed with ulagrass. It can absorb the sweat of even the biggest feet. many.

This is good stuff.

After trying on the shoes, they are very loose, but after stuffing ura grass inside, they fit well.

"Thank you, sister-in-law Wu Nakan!" Lu Lu was very grateful to them for being able to help them think so carefully.

This inarticulate woman just smiled and nodded at Lu Lu.

Lu Lu felt that after returning home, he was going to ask Chen Xiuyu to make some pairs of lace-up shoes for them. These things are comfortable to wear at home, so there must be a courtesy.

Lu Lu returned home with his things in his arms, and Chen Xiuyu was in the yard, stirring several large vats in the yard, which were filled with fermented miso and yellow rice for sticky bean buns, especially yellow rice, this thing It has been fermented for a long time, and when it is stirred, you can smell the rancid smell from a long distance. When making it, you have to wash it many times.

But the sticky bean buns that are made are really soft, glutinous and sweet, and they are very hungry. This is a good thing to eat when you go hunting in the mountains.

Seeing that Lu Lu went out and brought back so many things, Chen Xiuyu hurried forward to open the door.

The things were sent directly to the bedroom by Lu Lu, and the bedding was uncovered. On the kang mat, the jackal skins sewn into large pieces were laid out first, and then the cotton pads, sheets and quilts were spread. Lu Lu went up, only one feeling in his heart : Comfortable!

The scorching heat on the kang will become very mild because of this bed of jackal fur.

Afterwards, Lu Lu handed the wolverine skin to Chen Xiuyu: "This skin will be exclusive to you in the future. It will be used as a cushion to sit on the kang to insulate the heat. The buttocks will not be so hot, and it will be much more comfortable." He said, Taking the opportunity to pinch Chen Xiuyu's ass.

Chen Xiuyu smiled and stretched out her hand to twist Lu Lu's waist.

Lu Lu hurriedly jumped to the side, he had been prepared for a long time, how could he get caught so easily.

Before Lu Lu was screwed, Chen Xiuyu glared at Lu Lu, took the wolverine skin, and stroked the rough hair on it, still looking very happy.

Unlike Lu Lu who often went to the mountains, Chen Xiuyu had to stay at home most of the time this winter, sitting on the kang for a long time, and was pregnant with a child. She obviously needed this wolverine skin more.

"Look, these are the stiletto shoes that brother Zhao's family prepared for me. They are good things to wear when going hunting in the mountains. Wife, I will make a pair of stiletto shoes for each of their family sometime!" Lu Lu said his own idea.

"it is good!"

Chen Xiuyu agreed without thinking, put the wolverine skin in her hand on the kang, and took the scorpion shoes to look at it.

Chen Xiuyu is no stranger to these shoes. In winter, most people who go into the mountains will prepare a pair for themselves.

"In the afternoon, I'll go to the meadow and cut some Ula grass, and I'll get you grass velvet!" Chen Xiuyu said sensiblely.

Dried ulagrass has to be cut back, pounded into grass velvet, and wadding in the sandals shoes to be useful.

"Get ready to cook. After dinner, I have to go to Huilongtun to find Uncle Jin, get those collars, and get the ski sticks by the way."

"alright!"

The couple went into the kitchen together and got busy inside.
