In the underground shelter shrouded in wind and snow, the rich aroma of meat mixed with the aroma of bread spread out, easily overpowering the aroma of jasmine tea in the enamel kettle.
The source of this fragrance comes from the two steel helmets on the fireplace that are stewed with braised bear sausage and braised bear paws, as well as the oven where Gale has just opened the wooden baffle.
While everyone was waiting, Gale first took out two baguettes that were nearly half a meter long and as thick as an arm from the oven, and then took out a tray of sausages that were roasted brown. .
While Gale was pouring soup on the sausages, Wei Ran also scooped out the braised pork sausages and braised bear paws from the two steel helmets, and put equal amounts into four lunch boxes.
This is indeed the first time for him to make this braised bear sausage, but so far, at least it smells pretty good. As for the braised bear's paw, as early as the first day he arrived in Russia to study, his aunt used it to make him the main course of the Fengfeng Banquet.
In the following years, during the hunting season, even if Professor Alexei could not or did not dare to hunt a brown bear, my aunt would always receive bear meat from the travel agency employees. After being influenced by what he saw and heard, Wei Ran could really be said to have seen a bear running and even eaten a bear's paw.
According to my aunt, this bear paw tastes best after it has been dried and sugared, but as long as you are willing to add ingredients, the taste is not much different even if it is fresh. At most, it just needs to be stewed for a longer time. Simply put, it is not much different from braised pig trotters.
Wait until all the food is served. Gale used a bayonet to cut the toasted bread into pieces and distributed it to everyone. Then he poked a piece of sausage he had made by himself and put it in the bread.
Dorian, on the other hand, had already poked a small piece of bear paw meat filled with thick soup with a fork and stuffed it into his mouth.
"This tastes really good." Before Dorian could finish his words, he had already picked up his baguette and took a big bite. He said with a satisfied look on his face, "I finally got some bread. "
"You have to thank me for preparing a small piece of dough for fermentation on the day we moved in." As Gale spoke, he also took out a piece of braised pork sausage from his lunch box and stuffed it into it. in the mouth.
"This tastes really good, Victor, what's the name of this dish?" Gale asked curiously.
"Life has no intestines" Wei Ran responded vaguely in Chinese, obviously too lazy to figure out how to translate the word "braised".
“What?” Gale looked at Wei Ran blankly, but before he could say anything else, Kantan had already unscrewed a bottle of potato wine, “Don’t care what it’s called, hurry up. Come and have a drink."
"It's really worth a drink." Gale immediately picked up the cup.
When Wei Ran and Dorian also raised their glasses, everyone clinked them with each other before finishing their drinks in one gulp.
"It would be nice if there was wine," Gale said with regret.
“It would be nice to drink some.”
Kantan put down his glass.He took a hard bite of the sausage covered in sauce, "When I make shoes for myself, I plan to repair those animal traps. If they are still usable, we can try to catch more prey."
"We really need to catch more." Gale nodded, "That bear is not enough for us to feed us for a whole winter, and there are not many onions and potatoes."
Dorian bites again After taking a big mouthful of bread, "I just want to dig out the bathtub quickly, and then boil enough hot water to take a good bath."
"After the bathtub is dug out, we can also think of ways to The engine of the half-track motorcycle was disassembled."
Gail also said, "If we can repair its engine, we can either get Quentin back or survive the winter. The Soviet Union is much easier."
"But Quentin might have already" Dorian stopped talking mid-sentence.
"Quentin must still be alive" Gale said with a frown.
"Gale"
Quantan put down the wine glass he had just picked up, "You have to calm down, we can escape here, eat meat and bread, and drink Wine, it’s already a very lucky thing, if”
“What if”
Gail stood up and raised his voice and said, “It was Quentin who lured away the Germans and saved the life.” What do you want to do with us, hide here all our lives eating meat, drinking wine and taking hot baths, waiting for the flowers to grow outside, waiting for the Germans to finish this war, and waiting for them to arrest us again?"
< p>"That's not what we meant," Kantan explained in a pale tone, "but""But Quentin is probably dead. This is very obvious." Dorian whispered, "It's not worth the risk for us."
"It's not worth it." Gale's tone became colder, "Have you forgotten who lured the Germans away for us?"
"Gale "You"
Kantan emphasized his tone, "We have not forgotten, we have not forgotten Quentin. But have you ever thought about the point of finding him if Quentin dies and is caught by the Germans?" Are you going to continue building roads?
If he is not dead, but has just found a place to hide, or is caught by the Germans again, do you think we can find him or can a few of us get him out of Germany? Rescued from the hands of others."
"How about we finish the meal first?"
Wei Ran, who originally didn't want to get involved, saw that the atmosphere between the three of them was getting more and more tense. , had to hold up the cup to smooth things over, "Even if we go to Quentin, we must at least repair the half-track motorcycle. From this point of view, Gale is indeed not wrong.
But Gale also Be calm, don't mention that we only have one Mauser rifle and one submachine gun. Even if it's the fuel that the half-track motorcycle needs, we don't have much at all, right?
Although the reality is hard to accept , but with just those of us, the hope of finding Quentin is really low, and most importantly, Gail, you still remember meAre we on our way here?"
"I" Gale was stunned for a moment, then sat down on the bed again decadently.
"Have a drink"
Wei Ran, who was holding the cup, winked at Kantan and Dorian, and after the two of them picked up the cups, he said, "We will help you repair the engine together. Why not wait until the engine is repaired, and then we can discuss how to rescue Kun Tan?" "How is Ting's situation?"
After a long silence, Gale finally picked up the cup and clinked it with the three of them, then raised his head and drank it all.
It was temporarily eliminated. After the disagreement, everyone seemed to have lost their appetite, and even drank less than half of the half bottle of potato wine, so they hastily ended the long-awaited meal.
Packed up the leftovers. After finishing the meal, Quantan sat under the oil lamp again and started making bearskin wooden shoes for himself. Dorian also continued to pick up the ax and started making beds, and Gale seemed to have forgotten the conflict at the dinner table and picked up the wooden shoes again. With the pickaxe, Wei Ran dug out the remaining soil in the shelter.
I have to admit that after a week of training, I have an almost unlimited supply of meat every day, and I feel full. With warm clothes, the physical condition of the three people in Kangtan has almost recovered, but Wei Ran also knows that the disagreement during the meal has buried a trace of estrangement in the hearts of these three people.
With the sound of clanking, Dorian made two extra beds with walls attached to them, and covered them with pine needles from outside and two layers of thick canvas.
Obviously, this one is for Quentin, and Gale can naturally see it, which makes his attitude slightly better.
As for Dorian. After joining the excavation team with a pickaxe, the cleaning speed accelerated again.
When there was a scratch on the wooden board on the fireplace chimney, Kantan also made a pair of warmers for himself. While wearing thick bearskin wooden shoes, Wei Ran and the other three finally dug out the buried enamel bathtub. However, when they opened the bathtub, a corpse suddenly appeared inside. But it shocked all of them
"How could there be a corpse here?" Dorian said with a pale face.
Wei Ran looked at this corpse completely. The skeletal corpse frowned, but the remaining clothing and fabrics on the corpse had been carbonized and shattered at the touch. He was still holding a Finnish knife, and the tip of the knife was still stuck in the ribs of his chest.
"There seems to be something carved in the bathtub," Kantan, who was holding the kerosene lamp, and Gale, who was holding the bathtub, said in unison.
Hearing this, Wei Ran walked over and discovered it at a glance. , two lines of rusty Finnish inscriptions remained on the bottom of the bathtub: "It was Eero and his accomplices who robbed my wife and daughter, trapped me in the basement and set the house on fire. It was Eero Nari." The German fur trader Eero was a robber and a murderer."
"Barren mountains and mountains are a good place for murderers and burial bodies." Wei Ran couldn't help but sigh..
"Do you know what is written on this?" Kantan turned his head and asked.
After hesitating for a moment, Wei Ran nodded, "It's Finnish. It probably means that a German fur trader Eero from Inari trapped the man in the bathtub in the basement and set him on fire." His house, and then robbed his wife and daughter."
"Oh Germans," Kantan said with ridicule and hatred in his voice, "It's the same thing they did in France. They are still the same in Finland. Where are their allies?"
"I don't care if Finland is their ally, but I didn't expect that we would live with a corpse for so long." Dorian shivered, "I don't want to use this anymore. It’s time to take a bath in the bathtub.”
You don’t want to wash it?
Wei Ran muttered in his heart and said calmly, “It’s not the bathtub that’s wrong, why don’t you wash it?”
p>“But”
“It’s nothing but”
Wei Ran pretended to be disgusted and said, “After living here for so long, we all have lice on our bodies. Come on, take a hot bath and wash our clothes. It’s good for our health. At worst, we can just brush the bathtub carefully.”
“Victor said. That's right."
Kantan took advantage of the topic and said, "We really need to ensure our health, and after we decide to go to Quentin, we may not continue to take a shower."
"Are you willing to go with me to find Quentin?" Gale looked at Kantan in astonishment.
Kantan spread his hands and said, "As Victor said, at least we need to repair the half-track motorcycle first, and the wound on my leg hasn't healed yet, so you can't Let me limp and die with you. Let me think about it. Maybe we should prepare enough food in advance."
Gail was stunned, lowered his head and muttered to himself. Say "thank you".
