Chapter 1611 I want it all! (The newly bought sausage is super unpalatable)
Although Mai Sakurajima is well-informed, when she looked at the bear dragged back to the cottage by Duanmu Huai, she was still confused.
"Can the bear... eat it?"
"Of course, can you clean up the fish?"
“I learned some before.”
"Then you will leave these fish to clean up, and I''ll pick up this bear."
Duanmuhuai shook it with a machete. There are also machetes and knives for chopping firewood in this small house. Although they are not very clean, they can also be used after boiling with snow water and washing and disinfecting.
Besides, it’s so far, what other bicycle do you need?
Fortunately, after killing the bear, Duanmu Huai directly cut its throat and then released all the blood. And it is cold winter now, the temperature is very low, and the bear does not have a heavy smell of blood. Therefore, it is not difficult to deal with. Duanmu Huai dragged the bear to the door, then started peeling it when he packed it up - he ate wild game every day in Journey to the West, and he was so familiar with this hand that he couldn''t be more mature.
Bears who are in winter will eat full and then hibernate. The bear is obviously a little stupid. It seems that they have not had time to eat full before winter, so they are still looking for food everywhere after winter comes. However, judging from this size, it should have reserved a lot. Maybe it was because it encountered Duanmu Huai and Sakurajima Mai on the way home to hibernate, so it planned to have a meal.
Well, now it''s good, it''s become a meal.
The belly was broken, and the internal organs were cleaned up, then peeled them, and then removed their limbs. Duanmu Huai was also very easy to do. Mai Sakurajima next to her was also constantly watching. After all, Japanese people usually buy processed meat in supermarkets. Perhaps it is okay for ordinary Japanese to deal with fish, but killing chickens and sheep is another matter for them.
Especially for celebrity idols like Mai Sakurajima, I am afraid that I have never seen a chicken slaughtered since I was born, let alone a bear slaughter.
"Xiao Ai, you are really skilled."
"Just get used to it. I used to like wild game."
Duanmuhuai peeled off the bear skin in one hand, then took it to the snow to wipe it clean, and then put it next to the fire. After it was dried, it could almost be used as a bear skin mat. This thing is quite warm.
"It''s a pity that there are no wild boars, it would be even better if there is a wild boar coming to the door."
"But we can''t finish it even with so much."
"If you can''t finish eating, just freeze. The weather outside is no different from the refrigerator and refrigerator. If you hang it under the eaves, you don''t have to worry about being stolen by other beasts... Hey, this guy eats quite fat, so much fat cannot be wasted."
Looking at the white fat, Duanmuhuai also snorted, then cut it off and cut it into water, then put it in a pot and put it on the fire to start boiling - Duanmuhuai had never boiled bear oil, but he had seen the method of boiling lard. Although the difference between bears and pigs is a bit far behind, the fat should be quite similar.
For a moment, the wooden house was quiet, with only the sound of firewood, crackling sounds of fried and knife sounds. While dealing with the fish in front of her, Sakurajima Mai felt a little dazed. In this small wooden house, at this moment, she suddenly had an illusion. It is as if they were not artists living in modern society, but in hunters'' houses in ancient times. The wife cooks at home and waits for her husband to return, while the husband walks into the cottage with his prey and smiles, and starts to handle his work.
How to say it, it’s very...a family-like.
Is it because of this that Liangzi secretly fell in love with the protagonist?
Thinking of this, Mai Sakurajima suddenly felt a little confused. As an actor, she also had to figure out the role. Although from the plot point of view, Ryoko was saved by the protagonist and then became a fond of him, it seemed to be in line with the usual routines in love comics. But when playing Ryoko, Mai Sakurajima has always been a little suspicious. Because in Mai Sakurajima''s opinion, Ryoko is a good girl, and as a daughter, she is also good at how to distinguish relationships. So even if she was saved by the protagonist, Mai Sakurajima believes that Ryoko should be in a grateful position for the protagonist, rather than like it.
But now, she suddenly understood something.
Perhaps, what Liangzi yearns for is this simple sense of family.
As a daughter, Liangzi''s life is good, but her parents are always not at home. Liangzi reads a lot of books to pass the time, so she is very knowledgeable.
But deep down, she must be lonely.
Just like myself.
His father abandoned his mother and married other women. In order to take revenge on her father, Mai Sakurajima entered the entertainment industry. Perhaps she hoped to use Mai Sakurajima''s outstanding performance to avenge the man who was dissatisfied and made him regret abandoning himself.
From this point of view, Mai Sakurajima feels her mother is very pitiful. She does not want to be a tool for making money for her mother, nor does she want to be a tool for revenge.
Mai Sakurajima herself hasn’t felt the warmth of family for a long time. From this point of view, she feels that she can indeed understand Ryoko’s mood.
In the closed wooden house, form a small, sweet and warm family with my husband. Living a calm life every day may not be so comfortable and hard, but she can feel the warmth between people... It is because of this that she likes the protagonist?
What Liangzi likes is not the protagonist, but the "family".
"How are the fish dealing with it?"
Suddenly, Duanmu Huai''s voice came from behind, which made Mai Sakurajima come to her senses.
“It’s almost done…”
"What? Are you in a daze?"
“I’m just thinking about something.”
Mai Sakurajima shook her head.
"for example?"
"For example... why did Liangzi like the protagonist?"
"You are still thinking about the script, and you are really a lesson for the actors."
Duanmu Huai complained silently.
"I think so, Liangzi fell in love with the protagonist because the protagonist saved her, but because she longed for the warmth of a family... A beautiful, warm family, maybe this is what Liangzi wants."
"Family... Speaking of this, I... forget it, nothing."
“???”
Although Mai Sakurajima cast a puzzled look at Duanmu Huai, Duanmu Huai did not answer. To be honest, after entering the entertainment industry, Duanmu Huai discovered that artists in this circle had more or less family problems.
This is true for both idols and actors. Mai Sakurajima''s parents divorced, Kana Arima''s parents also divorced, and Akane Kurokawa is also a single-parent family. Ruby and she - well, it''s better to divorce.
At least those who divorced were married.
I remember that the top troupe of LALALAI. Himekawa Daihui, who won the Best Actor Award, was also miserable. His parents died in love when they were young. Even MEM is a single-parent family...
In this industry, it seems that there are many single-parent families or both parents who die. From a psychological perspective, perhaps it is because we cannot get the care of a healthy family that we hope to gain external attention to fill the gap in our hearts. Of course, this is also Duanmu Huai’s nonsense, after all, he doesn’t understand psychology.
So Duanmu Huai also thought to himself that he should not offend others if he said this.
When the two of them processed the food, it was already afternoon and their stomachs were already hungry. If Ma Yi hadn''t eaten a candy, she would have fainted long ago.
But fortunately, everything went smoothly. In the howling blizzard, the two of them had prepared their own dishes.
Mai Sakurajima made fish soup, while Duanmu Huai used the processed fried bear meat steak. After using the branches as chopsticks, the two began to enjoy this belated meal.
"Well...Mai, you are quite good at cooking."
Drinking the delicious fish soup, Duanmu Huai couldn''t help but praise it. In the cold winter, it was indeed much more comfortable to eat such a bowl of steaming fish soup.
"Xiao Ai''s pork chop is also well made. This is the first time I have eaten bear meat."
Because there is no knife or fork on hand, he can only cut it into small pieces and use chopsticks to get it. Mai Sakurajima also showed a surprised expression when she ate the bear meat in her mouth.
"Although it''s a bit hard, it tastes pretty good and has a lot of gravy..."
"I''m still thinking about whether this bear oil can be successful, but it seems pretty good now."
Duanmu Huai smiled and then began to eat.
The two of them were hungry for almost a day. Not to mention Duanmu Huai, Mai Sakurajima had been hungry for a long time. Although she didn''t eat much, she also relaxed her appetite and had a big meal.
“Huh……”
After eating Duanmuhuai, she sat aside with satisfaction and breathed out.
"It''s so comfortable, and the bear paw is really delicious."
"I''m still a little bad about eating that."
Unlike Duanmuhuai, Ma Yi kept her far away from the bear paw, as if she simply didn''t want to eat something that looked like a human hand.
"So you are still not hungry enough. If you are hungry enough, don''t say that you are familiar with it. Even if you are born, you will be able to eat it."
“Luckily I’m not as ruthless as hungry.”
Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai smiled.
"By the way, Ma Yi, have you heard the saying ''You can''t have both fish and bear''s paw''?"
"I''ve heard that it means that when facing two important choices, it''s difficult to take into account both at the same time, so you have to make a choice."
"But now, we have eaten the fish and we have eaten the bear paw."
Duanmuhuai patted his belly.
"So this sentence is not valid."
"is that so?"
"That''s right. As long as you have the ability to kill fish and bears at the same time, you can naturally take it all. In the final analysis, you can''t take into account both at the same time, it''s just that you lack the ability."
"But most people in this world are not capable enough."
"Maybe that''s right."
Duanmu Huai curled his lips.
"So this sentence is more of an excuse for them. Because they cannot have both, they must give up one of them. In the final analysis, they just realize that it is not that they don''t want it, they just can''t do it."
“Yes, it’s just impossible.”
Sakurajima Mai held the fish soup and sighed silently.
"How great it would be if this world really had the best of both worlds."
“There is no best in this world.”
"You just said that as long as you have enough ability, you can have both fish and bear''s paw."
“But I’m talking about fish and bears.”
Duanmu Huai shrugged, and Mai Sakurajima gave him a blank look.
"I don''t want such brain teasers."
“Huhuhu———!”
At the same time, the howling wind came out of the window again, and the blew the windows clattered. Duanmuhuai stood up and fixed the window again to make sure it was not blown away suddenly.
"It seems that this snow will not stop for a while... Why did the director have to choose this time to shoot?"
Duanmu Huai complained speechlessly that his and Mai Sakurajima''s mobile phone broke when they fell off the cliff, leaving only a pile of plastic fragments that could not be used at all. Having said that, in Japan''s telecommunications environment, even if the mobile phone is intact, there will be no signal in the deep mountains.
"When shooting next time, you must let the director check the local weather conditions in advance."
This must be written in the memorandum.
