On Sunday morning, Li Du and the others returned.
There were three of them when they entered the national park, and four when they left. They also brought a deer, a reindeer, four small wild boars, and a variety of wild birds and hares.
Driving back to the camp, Li Du arranged for Godzilla and Big Quinn to pack up their harvest.
Hans was not interested. "Who knows what kind of parasites these things have? Or some mysterious virus? Anyway, I suggest you don't touch them. "
Li Du said, "There's no need to worry about that. I'll soak them in alcohol first, then decide whether to steam, boil, fry, or roast them. Any viruses and bacteria will be removed. "
Hans was shocked. "Soak them in alcohol? How can you eat something soaked in alcohol? "
Li Du said, "Relax, I used brandy or cooking wine to soak them. Anyway, it can kill bacteria and poison, improve the meat quality, and remove the smell of blood. It will make the meat taste better."
Hans pointed at his chest. "I have to warn you, brother. You're going to invite a group of police officers today. If there's a problem with the food, I bet they'll give you trouble on the spot."
Li Du laughed. "Then let them come."
The venison was cut into pieces, and he put them in a bowl. He sprinkled brandy in to clean up the smell.
Big Quinn took out a sharp knife and started to peel off the skin of the wild boar. He was an expert in this area. He quickly peeled off the skin of a small wild boar and cut up the meat.
Li Du praised, "You're good with the knife."
Big Quinn laughed. "When I was six, I caught a rabbit with a broken leg on my grandfather's farm. Then I started to learn how to deal with these things."
"How did you deal with that rabbit?"
"Oh, I bandaged its leg. After it recovered, I put it on the farm."
This answer surprised Li Du. He laughed. "I thought you roasted it and ate it, or stewed it into soup and drank it. Sorry."
Big Quinn shrugged. "Why should I apologize? In fact, I bandaged it because my grandfather told me that the rabbit was pregnant. Later, I saved it and let it go. After that, I'll have rabbits to eat for a long time. "
"Is this considered casting a long line to catch a big fish?" Li Du laughed. "You understand the truth of sustainable development at such a young age?"
Big Quinn said, "Yes, but later on, I wanted to grow a wild boar. In the end, my grandfather beat me up."
"Why?"
Big Quinn shook his head and said, "Because the wild boar I released destroyed his watermelon field. It's a big loss, buddy."
Li Du laughed and left. He drove the Hellcat to his neighbor Tomasson's house. Coincidentally, the Amish man was about to leave with his carriage when the two of them met at the door.
"Hello, Mr. Tomasson."
Tomasson smiled. "Hello, my neighbor. What can I do for you?"
Li Du said, "Well, I went to the forest yesterday and got some venison. I don't know if you like it."
Tomasson licked his lips and said, "What kind of deer is this? My wife makes great venison steaks. With a little black pepper sauce, I can't stop eating. "
Li Du took out the meat and showed it to Tomasson. "There's sika deer meat and reindeer meat. I brought some for you. I also got two kerosene lamps. They look good. If you like them, you can keep them for yourself."
He had gotten these two lamps at a storage auction. They were antique and ninety percent new. They were surrounded by a circle of glazed crystal. When the kerosene was ignited, it would give off a bright golden light.
Tomasson was very happy to see them. "These are good things, but I may not have anything suitable to trade with you."
Li Du said, "Of course you do. I want to entertain a few friends today, so I came to get some vegetables from you."
Tomasson waved his hand happily. "Then what are you waiting for? That vegetable field is now your territory. You can take whatever you want. "
The Amish liked to eat venison, but they abided by their religion and could not engage in senseless killing. Besides, they did not have cars, so it was not easy to get to the national park. Hence, they did not have many opportunities to get venison.
Li Du brought what Tomasson liked, and Tomasson's organic vegetables and fruits were rare treasures in the market. Both sides took what they needed.
When they arrived at the orchard, Li Du went to pick two big watermelons. Tomasson gave him two more and said, "This year's watermelon harvest is good. You can pick them without worry."
In addition to the watermelons, he also picked some green mangoes. Other fruits such as pears, apples, and snake fruits were not ripe yet, so he could only look at them and drool.
As for vegetables, he harvested cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, purple cabbage, beans, lentils, chrysanthemums, and so on.
When they returned to the camp with the vegetables and fruits, Hans replaced him and drove away again. He wanted to buy beer and wine to entertain the guests.
The Hellcat was a high-capacity muscle car. The trunk of this kind of car was very spacious, but Li Du still felt that he had bought the wrong car. He should have bought a pickup.
He washed and cut the fruits, put them in a plastic bag, and put them in the well. The refrigerator in the cabin was too small to hold so many things, so he could only freeze them using the traditional method of his hometown.
He cut the sika deer tenderloin into slices and marinated them with cooking wine, soy sauce, and vinegar. At night, he could make fried meat, which was much more delicious than fried pork slices.
The meat on the belly was fatter, so he mixed it with peppers, cabbage leaves, and other vegetables to make skewers for barbecue.
Big Quinn preserved the whole deer steak. "We can make smoked deer steak. I'm very good at this dish," he said.
Li Du nodded. "Okay, then let's have smoked deer steak."
He also prepared the other vegetables, such as the grass green sword beans. He fried them in oil, put them in the oven in the evening, and sprinkled some meat sauce on them.
There were also eggs and wild zucchini, which could be mixed together to make pancakes. The yellow pancake and the green zucchini looked very appetizing.
In the afternoon, Rose drove over. She wore a grayish-blue, long-sleeved sports shirt and white sweatpants. The shirt had a turquoise collar, which added some liveliness, but looked very hot.
Li Du asked, "Don't you feel hot wearing so much?"
Rose smiled and looked at him. "If I wear too little, I'm afraid you guys will feel hot."
Hans grinned and stuck his head out. "I'm feeling a little cold, why don't you let me warm up a little?"
Without saying a word, Rose dashed in and pinned Hans's hands behind his back. She then dragged him out into the hot sun.
Hans screamed in agony, "Dogsh * t, what are you doing, what are you doing? Let me go! "
Rose smiled. "Aren't you feeling cold? I'll let you warm up a little! "
Big Quinn exclaimed, "This lady is really hot-tempered!"
