Lisko's American life
Chapter 7 Hunting is carried out.
The next day, Lisko packed up hunting items, a jacket, tied trouser legs, handmade cowhide boots bought from the town, a Reston on his back, a revolver inserted around his waist, and a handful of Swiss at the leggings. sig special dagger.
Picking up the luggage bag, there are some emergency medicines and serums, and some compressed biscuits and stainless steel water bottles. He wants to prepare for the result of not hunting food empty-handed. This kind of thing has happened many times in his previous experience. .
When Lisko went out, he ran into the same heavily armed rooster and Colt, and everyone laughed when they looked at everyone the same bulging.
"Rooster, go pick up the pickup."
The three got in the car and quickly rushed to the foot of the mountain.
"Huh~" Colt stretched out his arms, "I haven't hunted for a long time."
"Then you have to aim at a later time, maybe you will be the bottom this time." The rooster teased.
"No, and Lisko, I think I'm better than someone who sits at a desk writing every day."
Li Ske smiled, "I often go to the gun club to practice guns."
The three of them walked into the woods noisily and quickly reached their destination.
There are two wooden houses in the woods, which were built by two hunting enthusiasts, Bo and Lisko's father, a long time ago. This is also the place where Lisko and Lisko's childhood favorite came.
"This place was collapsed by wild boars last year, and the wooden board I was looking for has been repaired again." The cock triumphed.
The three picked up the firewood and lighted the fire in the room with hot water.
Colt climbed to the roof to observe as before and set up his gun."Bo's telescope is still so easy to use." He held a telescope with a lot of scratches on it. The green paint on the edge has been worn off a lot. This is a souvenir that Bo brought back from the army.
Li Sike and the rooster are one person, set up a gun in the room, and each person gnaws on a pack of compressed biscuits.
After a short while, the signal came, and Colt knocked on the eaves.
All three of them looked forward attentively, and a group of wild ducks staggered out of the jungle.
"Boom, boom, boom"
Colt shot first, knocking down the leading duck, Lisko and the rooster behind also took out pistols and shot.
After a burst of shooting, a wild duck fell on the ground.
"It must be me who fights the most."
Colt jumped off the roof and shouted proudly with his gun.
"It must be me. You didn't hit anything except the first shot." The rooster curled his mouth in disdain.
Li Sike looked at the two arguing people funny.
"Packed one and bake it, I was a little hungry."
Colt pulled out the saber from his trouser legs, picked up one, and headed to the water. Lisko and the rooster were picking up the wild ducks that had been killed, all tied up and thrown into the bag, waiting to go back to distribute the prey.
It hasn't been seen for many years, and Colt's craftsmanship hasn't left much. The duck was cleaned up, the rooster took it, and he stabbed the duck with a knife and smeared it with salt and spices.Wrapped in big leaves, smeared some mud, and thrown into the stove.
The three of them waited for food in front of the stove, while recalling the past.
Suddenly, the rooster stopped his endless laughter, listened attentively, and immediately grabbed the gun.
The two of Liskocolt also quickly changed their faces.
"Huh~huh~"
The call was getting closer and closer, and they all heard the call of a wild boar.
The weeds in the woods moved, and soon their heads popped out, and a wild boar the size of an adult's waist protruded its head against its fangs.
The rooster took a deep breath. Although it is in the mountains, there are more and more people hunting in recent years. Large prey like this is basically rare. The three of them previously hunted mostly wild ducks and pheasants. For some hares, the biggest prey is the four-horned elk.
The Lisko three held their breath and looked at the wild boar approaching.
"Head." Lisko yelled first and pulled the trigger of the shotgun first.
The three kept firing toward the front.
"Boom, boom,"
Lisko shot all the bullets out of the gun at once, looked at the motionless wild boar, and stopped the two who were loading the bullets.
"died."
The three waited and watched for a while, and found that the wild boar's head was beaten densely with bullet holes, and blood was dripping from the ground.
"Huh~" The three people's hands trembled and exhaled. The cock struggled to take out a few cans of beer from the backpack. The three opened the clink and took a few mouthfuls.
"Hahaha," looked at each other's embarrassed look wet with sweat, and laughed heartily.
"This refreshed our prey record, we actually hit a wild boar."
Colt was so excited, the three of them calmed down and ran to see the wild boar.
The black hair was like a steel needle, and the body was covered with thick mud. Fortunately, the three of them shot at the head, otherwise the wild boar would not die so easily when hitting the muddy body.Looking at the body shape, this wild boar weighs at least 200 kilograms.
After receiving enough goods, the three of them had no intention to continue here. At the same time, they were afraid that the blood on the ground would attract the wolves, and the rooster tied up the limbs of the wild boar with the rope they carried.
The three of them found the thick wooden sticks to provoke the wild boar, put out the fire, and walked down the mountain, panting tired when they were halfway through.
"Otherwise, we chopped off the pig's head and limbs, and throw away the rest. This wild boar is too big for us to lift down the mountain."
The two of them thought about it, and agreed to this proposal. With a pig's head, they have satisfied their showy hearts, and they can also taste meat with their limbs.
The three people who reached a consensus quickly packed up, rejected Lisko, who divided the meat for himself, and took two fangs to collect.
After returning home, changing his sweat-drenched clothes, Lisko soaked wild boar teeth in hot water in the kitchen and scrubbed the surface with white vinegar. Soon the two fangs were white as new.
Lisko wiped it clean with a tissue and put it in the showcase in the study.
As soon as I sat down to rest, the phone rang, and Lisko knew that it was his long-winded agent when he saw the call.
"Lee, how was your day?"
Lisko rolled his eyes, "If you didn't call this phone, everything would be fine."
"Haha, okay, I know you are annoyed by this sentence, but I still have to ask, how is the new book? The editors of Random House have been blocking my office door recently. They paid 18 royalties for this book. %,"
Lisko thought for a while. The royalties are pretty good in the American literature and art circles. Newcomers often only get 5%. Lisko has worked well with them in recent years, and Langdon’s boss and his mentor are old friends.
The agent, Lubo, was introduced by a senior fellow of his columnist. He has worked with him for several years without any mistakes. He is usually very good and takes care of Lisko.
"Rubo, tomorrow, I just ended, I want to check again."
"Really, it's great. I immediately notify the publishing house to prepare. They have already prepared the cover and poster."
Li Sko disliked to keep the phone away from him. Lu Bo is over forty this year. In recent years, he has made a lot of money by relying on Li Sko.
Lisko turned on the computer to look through the finished manuscript and checked it again. Emil also received the cover of the novel from Lubo.
A boy with a hood stands with his back facing away in a golden wheat field. The sky is painted blue. Generally speaking, this cover fits Lisko's aesthetic.
"Rubo, the cover is great, the manuscript will be mailed to you tomorrow."
Lisko replied to the e-mail and went to the kitchen by herself. Jasmine had been busy with the ranch for the past few days. She asked Lisko if she wanted to come back for dinner. Lisko felt that she had been busy for a day and asked her to rest. Spices bought in Chinatown.
He took a crucian carp from the side. It was fished in the lake in the ranch. The cowboys had taken it and threw it away, but Lisko asked for it.
Put the scallion, ginger, garlic in hot oil, cook for a while, put the processed fish in an oil pan and fry on both sides, add water to boil, so that the cooked fish soup is white.
After the fish soup is simmered for an hour, it is already milky white fish soup.The noodles are machine-pressed noodles bought in Chinatown. Lisko was a northerner in his previous life. He loved noodles the most. This fish soup noodle was taught by his former girlfriend. After a few attempts, he loved it very much. The deliciousness of fish soup.
The noodles slowly cooked. Lisko put in a little green vegetables and cut a few sections of red peppers. This pot looks very beautiful, with red peppers, white fish soup, and green vegetables.
Li Sike turned off the fire and tasted the long-lost taste, tears couldn't stop streaming down.
