A Crime at Vytaras Radzevičius’ Farm

The quiet life of Vytaras Radzevičius’ farm has been shaken by what the programme presents as a brutal crime. Two hens have died, while the badly injured rooster Petsonas the Third later succumbed to its wounds.

There was a brutal crime with victims at Vytaras’ farm. Two hens lost their lives. The rooster Petsonas the Third was seriously injured and later died from his ailments.

Vytaras treats the scene like a crime investigation. The area is cordoned off, and crime-scene-style STOP tape appears at the site. Feathers scattered on the ground and the remains of a hen suggest that the animals may have been attacked.

The investigation turns toward two residents of the farm, Šmikis and Tundra. Vytaras suspects they may have acted together. “There are two suspects. And it seems they are acting together, in agreement. Šmikis and Tundra,” he says. How Laisvė will react, and how the unexpected farm incident will end, will be revealed in Monday’s episode.

There are two suspects. And it seems they are acting together, in agreement. Šmikis and Tundra.

After the farm mystery, Vytaras turns to food. He says the year has produced an unusually large chanterelle harvest and asks what can be done with so many mushrooms. His answer is an unusual preservation recipe from Alaska, using one kilogram of whole chanterelles, white wine, oil, white-wine vinegar, sugar, salt, garlic, bay leaves, pepper, juniper berries and chili. The mushrooms are briefly boiled in the marinade, sealed in sterilised jars and kept cold. Vytaras says they can be eaten after a day. The episode will also include a poultry-farm visit, planting new herbs and a trip to Dzūkija.

Then all that will remain is to open a jar whenever you want. In reality, you can eat them after just one day.
