Chapter 700: Cooking sheep and slaughtering cows for fun (Part 1)
The monument is speechless, the sea of history is deep, and the memory is eternal.
Langya Mountain, formerly known as Langshan, is located in Hebei Province, China.
Lang and wolf are homophonic, so it is also called Langshan.
Later, because of the towering peaks and the dangerous peaks rising one after another like wolf teeth, it was also called Langya Mountain. It was one of the ten scenic spots in ancient Yizhou and the eight scenic spots in the ancient city of Baoding.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Langya Mountain was one of the famous base areas.
The famous General Yang at that time was inspired by the story of three attacks on Zhujiazhuang in the Water Margin. He saw that the terrain of Langya Mountain was crisscrossed with ravines, connected by mountains and rivers, and there were winding paths between the mountains, which looked very much like Zhujiazhuang.
Pantuo Road was transformed by Taoist priest Li Yuanzhong.
Of course.
The transformation here is not some Feng Shui formation, but the direction of some mountain roads, trees and hidden whistles.
The renovated Langya Mountain played a very good role as a base area, and the Japanese's many raids ultimately failed.
But General Yang did not relax because of this. He quickly realized that there were still huge hidden dangers in Langya Mountain:
If the Japanese army mobilizes heavy weapons to launch a large-scale raid on Langya Mountain, the troops and people in the mountain will be surrounded by the Japanese army and have nowhere to escape.
However, before he took effective measures, the Neon people's large-scale raids on Langya Mountain had already begun.
August 1941.
Gang Ning assembled 5 divisions and 6 brigades to launch a large-scale raid on the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei region.
They first concentrated their forces to divide and surround the headquarters of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, trying to eliminate the rabbits' command organizations in one fell swoop.
In order to protect the safety of the headquarters, General Yang decided to transfer the main force of a regiment in Langya Mountain away from Langya Mountain to reinforce the headquarters.
As a result, the team in Langya Mountain became empty. There were only four guerrilla groups and some militiamen in the mountain.
The cunning enemy army did not miss this opportunity and immediately launched a surprise attack on Langya Mountain.
September 24th.
The Japanese army and the puppet army gathered more than 3,500 people. Under the command of the commander, they sent troops to block all exits of Langya Mountain. The troops were divided into nine groups and attacked Langya Mountain under the cover of aircraft and artillery.
Fortunately, General Yang did not panic. He made many feints and launched a decisive attack on Songshan and Zhouzhuang, attracting the troops from Jiulian Mountain and Nianzitai, and opened up Langya Mountain for more than ten miles, allowing the people in the mountain to attack.
The villagers and soldiers had a chance to retreat.
And since it is a retreat, someone must take the rear.
The seventh company was in charge of the rear at that time. After completing the task of covering the retreat of the masses, the first and third platoons evacuated one after another in accordance with the order, and the second platoon continued to cover the large troops.
Squadron 6 and the two remaining machine gun groups were responsible for suppressing and occupying the West Pass with machine gun fire, buying time for the troops to evacuate.
Among them, there were five warriors who blocked the enemy in Qipantuo, namely Ma Baoyu, Ge Zhenlin, Hu Delin, Hu Fucai and Song Xueyi.
The five warriors took advantage of the terrain to fight to the death with the enemy, killing and wounding more than 90 people. When they had no way out, they jumped off the cliff.
With their steadfast integrity, they wrote a magnificent chapter that swallowed up mountains and rivers and frightened the enemy.
In the end, three of the five heroes, Ma Baoyu, Hu Delin, and Hu Fucai, died heroically. Ge Zhenlin and Song Xueyi were hung on branches on the cliff and survived.
After recovering from his injury, Ge Zhenlin also participated in the Peninsular War and was a well-deserved hero.
The heroic spirit of heaven and earth remains awe-inspiring for thousands of years.
Facing Ge Zhenlin himself.
Even Wang Aimin, who dared to ask Xu Yun whether the beef was real or fake, did not dare to say a word at this time.
It was not fear, but excitement and reverence that sealed his mouth.
However, Ge Zhenlin himself didn't care about the so-called Ge Yingxiong. He just waved his hand casually and said:
"Okay, comrades, let's not talk about the past. I am much luckier than others to be able to live in this world."
"some people....."
As he spoke, Ge Zhenlin looked at the scene again and hesitated to speak.
But in the end, he did not continue to speak out.
He actually wanted to tell Wang Aimin that everything he and his comrades had done was so that everyone could live a life of eating beef at will.
Some people really can't wait until today, but if countless Chinese compatriots can live a life of eating meat, their blood will not be in vain.
But when the words came out of his mouth, he hesitated again.
After all, the reason why the base can eat so much beef this time is largely because the new year is approaching.
On the other 364 ordinary days...or even during the past Spring Festival at the base, everyone actually couldn't eat beef so happily.
Therefore, after much hesitation, Ge Zhenlin stopped talking.
Hope that one day...
And just when the atmosphere at the scene was getting a bit solemn, there was a sudden commotion from the crowd not far away:
"Look, the cow is coming!"
The cow is coming.
I don't know who made this noise.
Seen within a second.
Swish——
Almost everyone in this area suddenly looked towards the other side of the open space that was not cordoned off.
The impact of these three words on the current scene is so great that it can almost be compared to the concept that some people in future generations will say that GTA6 is on sale...
Even Ge Changlin, who had stopped talking, couldn't help but look up at the opposite side.
I saw him waving his hands towards Huang Peiyun, Li Hengde and others, and said seemingly casually:
"Comrade Huang, we are here to watch the fun today, let alone heroes."
"Just think of me as an ordinary soldier, and let's focus on the original matter - you can call me Comrade Ge or Comrade Chang Lin."
Seeing Ge Changlin's resolute attitude, Huang Peiyun couldn't help but look at each other and Li Hengde, and nodded slightly:
"In this case, it is better for us to be respectful than to obey."
"Okay, let's listen to Comrade Ge. Everyone should go back to their seats first. Since the cow has arrived, I guess other things will be here soon."
After Wang Aimin and others heard this, they restrained their gazes a little, but some people still glanced at Ge Changlin from time to time.
This is a living legend. How can it not be exciting to appear in front of him like this?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Of course.
While occasionally peeking at Ge Changlin, Wang Aimin and others mainly focused on the open space in front of them.
I only see this moment.
A transport vehicle has appeared on the other side of the clearing, and it is driving towards the center of the clearing.
at the same time.
Several support staff from the sideline team appeared out of nowhere like the Viet Cong and began to prepare various things at the center:
Some people are moving tables, some are preparing water pipes, and some are tinkering with some small boxes...
A little less than half a minute later.
The transport vehicle accurately stopped at the center of the area, and then several members of the sideline team, also wearing blue logistics uniforms, jumped out of the vehicle, walked skillfully to the back of the vehicle and opened the door.
This transport truck seems to have been modified. The rear baffle can be set up at a certain angle to form a slope - this slope is not a common small slope, but a gentle slope with a small angle to the ground.
Then with the cooperation of some other devices.
The staff of the sideline team quickly pulled out a... cow that was tied to an iron plate with five-colored stripes.
The cow looked very strong, with smooth yellow hair, and was tied motionless to the iron plate.
There are four wheels fixed on the bottom of the iron plate, so it can be easily dragged to a desk after getting off the ground.
See this situation.
A young man in the team of Li Hengde and others couldn't help but stretched out his hand, pointed at the cow and said:
"Hey, that cow seems to have been bled?"
This person's name is Huang Gai, who has the same name as an old general from the Three Kingdoms. He and Wan Ningxia, the only girl in Li Hengde's group, are lovers who have known each other since college.
Upon hearing this, Wang Aimin glanced at the direction pointed by Huang Gai:
"Xiao Huang, how did you tell?"
"There is a wound on the neck."
Huang Gai's eyesight was notoriously good. He raised his chin towards the cow's neck again:
"It's just on the neck. The wound is about the size of a palm."
Wang Aimin simply said "Oh."
Although he couldn't see the cow's wound clearly due to vision problems, Ge Changlin had mentioned this before, so they expected the cow to be killed beforehand.
He didn’t understand why poking a cow while it was awake would be reported, but he did know one thing:
If you don't stun the cow and kill it, the cow will definitely resist.
To know.
Cows are not animals that can be controlled with one hand like chickens or ducks. When they become manic, their destructive power is even more powerful than that of domestic pigs.
Even if you want to kill a cow in the countryside, you have to find a fellow villager to pull it down and knock it unconscious with a hammer before cutting it. Therefore, the base stuns the cow first and then bleeds it... In fact, it is logically reasonable.
Many of the comrades at the scene were educated people who had never seen blood. It would be bad if they saw that kind of scene of hammers hitting their heads. It would leave some psychological shadow.
Just when Wang Aimin was thinking about these things, Huang Gai's voice on the side became a little louder:
"Brother Wang, look, the master who killed the cow has raised his knife!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Aimin quickly retracted his thoughts and looked towards the center of the field.
It's exactly what Huang Gai said.
At this time, there was already a master who looked like a butcher with a knife in his hand, and he began to think about how to cut the cow.
........
"Old Wang, can you do it?"
Seeing Wang Weimin circling the scalper, Luo Lian, deputy director of the logistics department of the base's sideline team who personally escorted the cow, couldn't help but complain:
"How many times have you been doing this... Could it be that you haven't killed a cow in five or six years and you have even forgotten the basic skills?"
Wang Weimin is one of the few chefs at the base. He worked in the same unit as Luo Lian before joining Base 221. The two have known each other for more than ten years now.
"Luo Laoer, fart your mother!"
Hearing Luo Lian's question, Wang Weimin responded with a curse word. Anyway, the center was more than ten meters away from the nearest crowd:
"Can you fucking forget about the craft of killing cattle? It's like a bicycle. As long as you learn how to ride a bicycle, you can ride it as soon as you step on the pedal in 20 or 30 years."
Luo Lian rolled his eyes when he heard this:
"Then what are you doing? You're just turning around without taking out the knife, and you're still touching it..."
Wang Weimin sighed and looked at Luo Lian with a hopeless look:
"I'm feeling the texture of the meat and wondering where to cut it - the structure of each cow is different, and most people have herniated discs."
Luo Lian thought about it and found that this was also the case.
Of course.
He said this mainly because the two of them were very familiar with each other, and he would not feel comfortable not teasing Wang Weimin. He was not trying to give advice to an expert from an outsider.
If an unfamiliar chef were to do the cooking, he would definitely not say anything. Even if he had some ideas, he would definitely speak politely and use the word "gay".
Wang Weimin himself also knew his friend's character, so he didn't pay much attention to those words and quickly returned his attention to the cow in front of him.
This cow is a standard native Chinese cattle in terms of category. The first thing Wang Weimin observed was its hair and eye area.
The coat is shiny and fine, the skin is soft and elastic, the eye sockets are full, and the teeth are aligned.
All classmates who were awesome in their previous lives should know this.
Calves usually begin to grow their first pair of milk incisors around half a month after birth.
At 4-5 months of age, the four pairs of primary incisors will all grow in, and then they will gradually wear and become shorter.
When a buffalo is about 3 years old, and when an ox is 1.5-2 years old, the first pair of permanent teeth will grow to replace the deciduous incisors, which are the "opposite teeth".
From now on, one pair will be replaced every year, from "4 teeth", "6 teeth" to "8 teeth" - the 8 teeth are also called Qikou, similar to the Samsung card in the golden spatula.
After the cow is in the mouth, the permanent teeth begin to wear in sequence. The wear surface gradually changes from a rectangular pattern to a black oval or even triangular shape. The gap between the teeth gradually expands until the tooth roots are exposed, and eventually the permanent teeth fall off.
The teeth of this cow are very neat. Combined with other signs, it is easy to tell that it is an adult cow at the peak of its life.
This type of cattle has the best taste and has a high meat yield, which is really a rarity these days.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is definitely not state banquet grade, but ordinary slaughterhouses basically don’t want to come into contact with this kind of cattle.
after awhile.
After roughly figuring out the pattern, Wang Weimin no longer hesitated and waved to his side:
"Xiao Li, Xiao Zhao!"
"arrive!"
The words just fell.
Next to Wang Weimin came two young men with sleeves on their arms.
Wang Weimin pointed at the dead cow on the iron plate and ordered:
"Xiao Li, you hold the cow's hind hooves, Xiao Zhao, you put a plastic bag under the cow's skin, and then pound the meat according to my instructions."
The two young men nodded at the same time.
The cow sent from the base slaughterhouse had been bled but not skinned, but the skin swallow had been neutered.
After the two young men settled into position, Wang Weimin walked to the cow and started cutting from the hock joint.
Stab——
With a sound similar to the sound of scissors cutting cloth, the blade quickly opened the cowhide upward along the inner midline of the hind leg.
Bang bang bang!
I saw that while Wang Weimin was cutting, the man wearing Xiao Zhao's sleeve was also hammering the meat as required.
Then Wang Weimin began to peel off the fur along the inner line of the hind legs to the left and right sides. His technique was so skillful that it was not apparent that he had not undressed a cow for five or six years.
five minutes later.
"call....."
Wang Weimin removed the cowhide from the top of the hock joint to the base of the tail. At the same time, he cut off the cowhide and the tip of the tail.
After doing this, Wang Weimin continued to cut from the hock joint without stopping, cutting off the connective tissue, ligaments and some unpeeled fur that connected the joint, cut off the hind hooves, and put them aside.
So far.
The skin of the hind legs has been removed from the body.
in the subsequent time.
Wang Weimin also used other methods to peel off the chest and abdomen skin of the cow. He cut the knife from the midline of the chest and neck to both sides, peeling off the chest and neck skin and the skin of the front legs to the shoulders.
Then I still went to the front hooves...
Complete these steps.
The knife in Wang Weimin's hand slashed the bull's head again, and he took two steps back, gasping for air.
After evening out your breath.
Wang Weimin motioned to his two assistants to come forward, and the three of them pulled hard.
I saw it amidst the exclamations of everyone.
Stab——
A piece of cowhide was completely torn off the cow's body. There was no fat on the skin, no meat on it, and no broken edges!
See this situation.
The scene immediately burst into loud cheers:
"Great job, Master!"
"Bravo......"
"Niubi!"
"Comrade, why do you want Niubi?"
"Mom, this skill is even better than Butcher Zheng in my village..."
"Can you stick it back and perform again? Our workshop can help with welding..."
He looked at the cheers that kept ringing around him.
Wang Weimin raised his eyebrows at Luo Lian with some embarrassment, his meaning was obvious:
Is your craftsmanship good?
Luo Lian couldn't stand the arrogance of his friend, so he pretended to be thirsty and walked aside to drink some water.
Of course.
Wang Weimin did not get too arrogant because of this. After all, he had only skinned the cow, and the remaining meat was where he could show his true skills.
In accordance with organizational regulations.
Among the eighteen branch factories in the base, in addition to the main factory and several other small factories with few employees, the meat cut by the other large factories will be directly used for the New Year's Eve dinner of the factory employees.
The total weight of the cows is roughly the same, that is, if the front cow is small, the latter cow will be larger.
Therefore, the key factor that determines how much meat everyone can eat is the skill of the meat cook.
For poultry like cattle, which can produce hundreds of kilograms of meat, the quality of craftsmanship still has a big impact.
If there is not much meat on the bones picked out in front of everyone, then even if when the meat is weighed and the total amount of meat is found to be less than that of other factories, the meat cutter will have a reason to argue:
You have all seen the bones I picked with your own eyes. There is no meat on them, so they must not be mine. After all, the bones and organs of cows and cows have different weights. Maybe our cow has a bigger frame.
Woolen cloth?
But if there is a lot of meat left on the bones, then even if it is really a problem with cow organs, public opinion will not be able to explain it clearly...
Think of this.
Wang Weimin's mentality immediately calmed down. He took a deep breath and picked up the butcher knife again...
