As it turned out, Coal Ball didn’t seem to know that he was a bear with extremely strong attack and defense capabilities, but instead thought of himself as a creature of the same kind as the dog.

The leading dogs, including Black Wolf, Big Yellow and Canglong, ate the meat first. Coal Ball watched from the side, licking his paws and appearing very calm. They had no intention of overstepping the rank order to steal the meat from their companions.

After the three leading dogs finished eating, while the other dogs were eating, Uncle Zhao and Yue Feng continued to observe Coal Ball’s performance.

It still looks like it’s at peace with the world and has a very good personality.

“Am I overthinking this? This bear cub doesn’t like to be arbitrary and follow the rule that the leader eats first in the gang?”

After Uncle Zhao watched the dog gang feed the food from beginning to end, he spoke with some emotion.

After hearing this, Yue Feng speculated, “Could it be that this bear cub has never seen a mother bear since it was young, and has lived around humans and dogs since it opened its eyes, so it behaves so well?”

“What do you mean?” Uncle Zhao continued to ask.

“Didn’t we say before that animals recognize their owners as soon as they are born, and there will be certain imprinting and learning behaviors. If the first person the bear sees is a human, then it will think of itself as a human!
Or, if you keep playing with the dog, you might start to think of yourself as the dog, which is not a good thing!
When it saw the internal organs, it wanted to eat the pig heart first, but it was warned by the big black eagle with a kick, so it tactfully decided not to eat it.

Isn’t it like when we were kids, the family divided food among the children, the youngest child tried to grab it, but was beaten by the eldest child, so he didn’t dare to reach out anymore!
Ever since Coal Ball came up the mountain, you have been the one feeding him food every day, so he regards you as his parent, so he doesn’t dare to show off. He won’t eat if you don’t let him, and he won’t get angry if you take it away from him!

So far, this bear has a pretty good personality! “

Uncle Zhao nodded: “Yeah, after listening to your analysis, it seems that this is the case!
If this bear can continue to be so obedient, it will have a firm foothold in the gang, and the gang will not suffer any casualties when they encounter ordinary prey in the future!”

Yue Feng said: “Don’t be so overconfident. Being obedient now doesn’t mean you will be obedient in the future!

Coal Ball is a male bear. Generally speaking, during the mating season, this bear’s temper will become much more irritable!

The physical strength and weight of a mature male bear are at their peak. It is difficult for a person to defeat it without a gun!

You must keep an eye on it at all times. It’s okay to hurt the dog, but you can’t put people in danger!”

“Don’t worry about that, we still have the eagle!
No matter whether it is the white eagle or the big black eagle, they are existences that Coal Ball is unable to challenge!

Let’s all observe carefully later on. I don’t think it’s a big problem!
I have never heard of any senior hunter who could raise a bear to hunt with others!
Now we are the bear, the eagle and the dog gang.

We have many brothers and sisters, and we are strong. We are not afraid even if we encounter a pack of wolves in Changbai Mountain.”

When saying this, Uncle Zhao’s tone was quite proud. After all, raising a bear and training it to go hunting with the dog was the work of him, Zhao Dashan.

From the perspective of life experience, the old man can be proud of himself compared with other famous gunners.

“Brother Feng, sir! Should we continue chasing them? Or should we take these pigs back?
There are pigs tied up with ropes in front of us. If we delay for too long, we may not be sure if they will break free and run away!”

At this time, Xiaowen came up and reminded him.

Uncle Zhao looked at Yue Feng, and then said in a negotiating tone: “We went up the mountain and got four pigs in total. Except for the piglet that was kicked and crippled by the eagle, the remaining three could have been brought back alive.

If one is strangled to death by a bear, there are still two that can come down the mountain alive. Let’s go back today!!”

“Yeah! The training objectives have been exceeded, and the gains are definitely enough! Let’s go back!”

Yue Feng’s attitude is exactly the same as the old man’s.

Although it sounds great to completely eliminate all the wild boars at once, the cost and the benefits may not be balanced.

The herd lost four pigs, but the other pigs can still maintain their small group activities. The leading big pig was caught, and the remaining pigs have little experience and are unlikely to change their territory.

This means that after a few days when things are stable, Uncle Zhao can continue to come up and fight whenever he wants.

Now both Eagle and Dog are getting better and better, and Coal Ball, who is the last to do the job, has also unlocked a new throat-locking skill.

After today’s training in the mountains, the combat effectiveness of the entire hunting team has been improved to a certain extent.

“Cut some sticks and carry the pig down!

It’s a good start after the first snow. Let’s sell the old sow, transport the other gilt down the mountain and slaughter it, and prepare some pig-killing dishes!

Uncle, what do you say?” Yue Feng urged.

Every year when it snows, the days of fear begin for the New Year pigs and geese. Normally, there is no shortage of meat at home, but most of the time, the pig blood and other things from hunting pigs in the mountains are wasted.

Last year, I worked in the mountains for nearly a year, and I only had one or two chances to bring the pigs down alive and eat authentic pig-killing dishes.

Today I caught two live pigs at once. It’s the first snow of winter, so I have to eat something warm.

“This…there are still a lot of trivial things to do at the farm on the mountain!
It takes at least half a day from slaughtering the pig to serving it on the table. It’s not good to leave the door locked for so long when you go down the mountain, right?”

Listen to the tone, although Uncle Zhao said it was not good, Yue Feng could hear that the old man was quite moved by this pig-killing dish. How many people in the Northeast don’t like this?

The blood of a freshly slaughtered pig is added with seasonings to make blood sausage, then slices of fat and lean pork belly are cut and stewed with processed sauerkraut.

In this freezing cold season, a few close friends would sit at the kang table, drink a few sips of wine, and talk about their hunting experiences in the mountains in the past. They thought those days were wonderful.

Yue Feng pinched his fingers and said, “The habits of the animals raised in the mountains are usually fixed, so the presence or absence of people does not really have much impact.

If we carry the pig down the mountain now, we can get home before 11:30 at the latest. We can start preparing things right away and have a hot meal at the latest after 1:00!
Once you have eaten and drunk enough, I will send you back to the mountain before dark, without delaying anything!”

“Then let’s do it? The old man is really craving for that butcher’s dish!!”

Uncle Zhao didn’t bother to be overly polite with Yue Feng and agreed generously.

“If you’re greedy, we’ll do it! You don’t have to worry. Put Canglong and the other dogs, along with Coal Ball, in the farm to guard the gate. No one will dare to show off!”

“That’s true… I won’t argue with you, these dogs are like bears.

Even if you bring a gun, unless it’s a 56 semi-automatic, no matter how good your grip is or how good your shooting skills are, if you dare to enter the yard and get grabbed by a dog, you’ll lose half your life!”

“Haha, Xiao Tao, hurry up and carry the pig down the mountain. Let’s go back and kill it and eat the butcher’s meal!”

At the command, the brothers immediately got busy.

They chopped down trees and carried the pigs, then gutted the prey neatly. Strength lies in numbers, so everyone worked together to carry the prey in several batches to the side of the firewood road. Then they got on three-wheeled motorcycles, and in two trips they pulled all four wild boars down the mountain.

The two wild boars killed in the mountains were kept in the farm as daily feed reserves and meat supplies for Uncle Zhao’s life. The other two living wild boars were directly brought back to the new house in Xing’an Village.

The new house is much more spacious than the old one, and all kinds of living utensils have basically been purchased.

When the wild boar arrived home, Yue Feng chose to lift the small sow weighing about 200 kilograms onto the slaughter rack.

As for the heaviest old sow captain, Yue Feng planned to send it to the second canteen to sell it for money.

It is not uncommon to see wild boars killed, but it is not common to see wild boars caught alive, especially adult sows.

It is very common to use fat domestic pigs to make butcher’s dishes, and it can be done basically if you have money. But have you ever seen a wild boar caught alive and cooked immediately?
With Yue Feng’s current hunting team, something that seemed extremely difficult and almost impossible to do before has become possible.

When the brothers got home, they quickly got busy with their respective duties.

Boiling water, killing the pig, collecting the blood, skinning, and processing the internal organs, after a series of skilled work, the preliminary preparation of the ingredients is completed.

Next it’s time for mom Meng Yulan to come into play.

After listening to her son’s request, the mother quickly asked Yue Feng to remove a piece of the pig’s spine.

Put the pork spine and pork belly into a pot with cold water, add cooking wine, ginger slices and scallions, blanch them, skim off the blood foam, remove them and wash them.

Add clean water, scallion, ginger, star anise and peppercorns again, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer until the meat is cooked. Remove the pork belly and slice it, and set aside the broth.

Fresh pig blood and seasonings are poured into the repeatedly washed casings. Put in cold water, boil until it floats, then slice diagonally.

Take out the pickled sauerkraut from the jar, wash it several times and then cut it into small pieces. Add lard to a hot pan, sauté the scallions, ginger and garlic until fragrant, then stir-fry the sauerkraut for five minutes until the authentic sour aroma comes out.

The sauerkraut is ready, and the meat and soup are also prepared. Pour the fried sauerkraut into the pork soup, add pork bones, pork belly slices, and some offal (you can leave it out if you don’t like it). Bring to a boil over high heat and then simmer over low heat for half an hour.

At this time, when you open the lid of the pot, you can smell the fragrant aroma. Add the blood sausage slices and continue to simmer for ten minutes. Season with appropriate amount of salt and white pepper.

At this point, the authentic Northeastern pig-killing dish is ready. The soup and vegetables are served in a large bowl, and the most essential blood sausage is placed on top.

If you are a picky eater, you can also dip it in a dish of mashed garlic and soy sauce.

It’s dead cold outside, so take a sip of something hot and drink a little wine, and the feeling comes up immediately.

The hunting team gathered in the main room of Yue Feng’s new house, while his mother was busy at the stove in the kitchen next door.

Yue Feng took out the stored wine from the warehouse next door. Although the Five-Star Moutai was not as rare as Zijiang, it was definitely a good thing at that time.

Everyone was already starving and couldn’t wait to have the steaming hot pig-killing dishes served on the table.

Use the nimble chopsticks to pick up a piece of blood sausage, blow it and swallow it into your mouth. The fresh, tender and smooth taste with the aroma of sour and oil explodes in the taste buds in your mouth, it is so delicious.

There were four brothers and Uncle Zhao, an old hunter. The five of them took a few pieces of blood sausage to taste and drank them down with a sip of wine.

It’s worth it after working so hard for so long!! (End of this chapter)
