Chapter 629 Next Live Broadcast
On an open grassland, Bifang dragged a male deer with huge antlers and threw it to the ground with a sudden force.
Tony on the side excitedly stepped forward, wanting to help hold down the kicking hind legs, but as soon as he took a step forward, he was shouted back by Bifang.
Bifang said seriously: "Don't get close to it. If you get kicked by it, it will be very easy to break a bone."
The tone was too serious, and Tony was scared off. He raised his hands and took two steps back.
Peter next to him also stopped him and explained that his behavior just now was very dangerous.
The stag fell to the ground and kicked the ground frantically with its hind legs. By chance, it kicked a slightly sharp stone, which flew out instantly and hit a tree behind it, and was embedded directly into it.
Tony was a little unconvinced after being scolded. Although he knew that what Bifang said might be correct, he was still a teenager. When he saw this scene, his eyes widened and he became scared.
Even the stones kicked out are as powerful as bullets. If they hit a person, the consequences would be disastrous!
This is a red deer, which is much larger than the sika deer that Bifang had hunted before. An adult male deer can be 1.1 to 1.3 meters tall at the shoulder and weigh more than 200 kilograms, which is almost three times the weight of an adult male. You can imagine how strong it is.
However, now it is just a lamb to be slaughtered.
This sika deer was caught by Bifang by accident in a trap. Its legs were entangled, so it was still very alive.
Bifang raised his knife and struck the sika deer dead with one blow from the back of its head. He then cut the throat at its neck, severed the aorta, and let out the blood to remove the smell.
Charles and Eric found a large plastic bucket and collected the deer blood in it, eliminating any waste.
Tony and others behind him acted as a backdrop, waving flags and cheering. There were both men and women, all of them were young and beautiful high school students.
One of them was called Peter. Bifang still had an impression of him. He met him at the door when he participated in the talk show. Bifang even signed an autograph for him.
Since having the Mind Palace, Bifang can easily recall many people he had only met once.
In addition to these five students, Charles and Eric are also acquaintances. When Bifang drifted to Central Country, it was these two who rescued him from the fishing boat. When they heard that Bifang was in Wales, they came over to try their luck and caught him. Unexpectedly, they really met him.
It so happened that Bifang had a great harvest and the thirty-day trip to the Central Kingdom was drawing to a close, so he invited the seven people to dine together and eat roasted whole deer.
"On the menu of the state banquet of the Queen of Central Kingdom, there is a main dish called 'Balmoral Roast Venison'. In the tradition of Central Kingdom, venison is more noble than beef and venison, because venison has long been a food exclusively for the nobility in Central Kingdom and even in Europe."
"Red deer are traditionally the most prestigious game animals in Europe. They are the main deer in European literature. Male deer are tall and mighty, and are also a symbol of strength and power. Although red deer are also found in China, they are mainly distributed in remote areas of the northeast and northwest. The smaller sika deer are mainly raised and hunted."
"Red deer actually produce more meat than sika deer, but the Chinese think that the antlers are of poor quality, so they are rarely farmed . Europeans do not recognize the value of antlers and insist on waiting for them to grow a pair of spectacular giant horns before they can be used as hunting souvenirs."
"This guy is a second-class protected animal in China. If you want to eat it, you can only come abroad."
Bifang used 80-90℃ boiling water to scald the whole body of the sika deer, removed the hair while it was still hot, took out the internal organs, scraped and cleaned them, and then used a knife to make several small cuts in the thick areas of the deer's abdomen and the inner side of its hind legs.
Then put various spices such as mint leaves, sage, basil, aniseed, fennel powder, etc. into the deer's belly and rub it with sea salt to taste. Also season the cut on the inside of the deer leg with seasonings and salt.
The sea salt at this time is no longer the coarse yellow particles of the first day. Its color is closer to cream yellow. It is obvious that Bifang has carried out a more detailed purification.
Use a wooden stick to pin the deer's tail inside the belly, with the chest facing upwards, and the limbs hung on the leather surface. Brush it with salt water and then a layer of animal fat. Finally, tie the four legs to a branch and roast it over the fire.
While waiting for the meat to be grilled, everyone sat together. Bifang used a brush to brush the dripping fat back onto the deer to ensure that the final grilled venison would not be too dry and tough. At the same time, he told everyone some interesting historical stories.
"Large wild animals like red deer will become scarce resources in places with a lot of people. If everyone hunts them, they will soon become extinct."
“So whether in ancient China, the Middle East or Europe, emperors and kings often designated some forests as royal hunting grounds, prohibiting ordinary people from hunting in them and leaving the animals exclusively for them.”
"Even for a nation like China with a strong farming tradition, the rulers throughout the imperial period did not completely forget the ancient business of hunting, not to mention the Europeans with a strong hunting tradition. Hunting was the best entertainment for medieval European monarchs who were proud to lead their troops in battle."
"In ancient times and the early Middle Ages, the Central Kingdom did not have a particularly strong royal power. This changed with the Norman Conquest in 1066. After William the Conqueror, the monarch who opened the Norman dynasty, ascended the throne, he designated 21 royal forest areas across England."
"By the end of the 12th century, during the reign of Henry II, the number of royal forests had increased to about 80, accounting for 1/4 to 1/3 of the total area of England! Basically, the king fenced in areas where there were wild animals, and could hunt wherever he wanted."
"From the Middle Ages to the early modern period, deer hunting was once a special right of the royal family in the Central Kingdom."
Erwan asked with a smile: "So we are now experiencing the life of the royal family of the Central Government?"
Bifang applied the deer oil and nodded: "You can say that."
"In the Middle Ages, in order to prevent civilians and even local nobles from privately hunting deer, the royal family also formulated strict laws. It was not until the Central Kingdom Revolution in the 17th century that a king was beheaded. After that, the royal family of the Central Kingdom no longer had so many privileges. Everyone could hunt freely on their own land."
Being in the vast forest, breathing the fresh air, listening to the melodious birdsong, surrounded by groups of horses, hunting dogs, and companions, searching and chasing prey is the most noble activity.
Apart from accidentally falling off a horse or eating something dirty, the possibility of aristocratic hunters being injured during hunting was very low, and later on, with the advent of accurate rifles, it became even safer.
Speaking of this, there is actually a sad fact, but in front of the audience, especially since he had a live broadcast with the Prime Minister of China not long ago, Bifang was not easy to say it.
There is a very famous documentary in China called "Seven Years of Life". The director follows the life paths of 14 children from different classes to reflect the mobility between different social classes in China. The director will record the current situation of these 14 children every seven years.
From the age of 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, to last year's 56. This documentary truly reflects the solidification of social classes in China.
In fact, even without watching this documentary, you can tell from the history of Central China that the social classes in Central China have been solidified for thousands of years.
This has always been a country jointly ruled by the king and the nobles. The common people have no say in anything and there has been no peasant uprising. There are only occasional conflicts between the king and the nobles, and they fight each other.
Even the Scottish hero Wallace described in Braveheart was eventually betrayed by the Scottish nobles. Both the Scottish and English nobles could tolerate an incompetent king, but generally would not tolerate peasant uprisings.
Just as motorcycle gangs and parliamentarians are completely different groups, they live in the same country but may have almost no overlap, including their descendants.
Therefore, the joy of activities such as deer hunting has never been enjoyed by ordinary people.
While they were talking, the venison was finally roasted. Bifang took out his hunting knife, cut the venison from the venison leg, and distributed it to everyone.
Everyone couldn't wait to taste it. The finished product was yellow-red and shiny, with crispy skin and tender meat. It was fat but not greasy, crispy and delicious, with a unique flavor.
I have to say, after eating so much, Bifang has gained some experience. Not all wild meat is tough. It depends on the cooking method and the place where it is cooked.
For example, the deer in Central China have no natural enemies and are almost free-range. They do not get much exercise and their numbers are rampant. There are more than 1.5 million deer in Central China alone. They are fat and taste tender and fragrant when eaten.
But the ones in Japan are very tough because there are a lot of black bears and brown bears, which are full of muscles and taste tough.
The audience in front of the screen was filled with envy.
[I finally understand why they always go to see Boss Fang. It's obvious that they go there to eat and drink for free.]
[I’m so envious, woooooo ]
[I'm so hungry. I'm also fed up with the poison released in the middle of the night.]
[Damn it, damn time difference, it’s 1am now and Lao Fang just had dinner]
"Have you planned your next adventure?"
Charles, who was enjoying his meal, suddenly looked up and thought of a key question.
Now are the last few days of Bifang's live broadcast on CCTV. It is almost October. Everyone is very curious about where the next live broadcast will be.
It's basically a vacation in Central China. After nearly two months of rest, it's time to take action, right?
Bifang admitted it readily.
"Yes, there are plans."
