In addition to asking Er Meng to help buy those authentic mountain products, Wu Fei kept most of the eels caught in the fish pond above the orchard last time, except for selling some to the rich man and Boss Qian.

Some of the eels were raised by Wu Fei in cages in fish ponds on the mountain, and a large part of them were thrown into the farm by Wu Fei.

During this period of time, Wu Fei ignored the affairs of the farm. After such a long time, all the little eels that were thrown into the farm had grown up.

Wu Fei specially caught a net of eels and found that many of the small eels that were only as thick as chopsticks had grown to the size of fingers.

Moreover, the eels in the farm are much more energetic than those raised in cages, and they look more like wild eels than the wild eels.

Compared with the eels on the farm, the eels raised in cages after the ponds were cleared do not look like wild eels.

After finishing work in the afternoon, Wu Fei fished out a few eels as thick as a thumb from the cage, and then caught a few eels of similar size from the farm and gave them to his mother together.

While Wu Fei and the others were finishing their work, sister Wu Li rushed back from the county town. Wu Li came back to pick up the things Er Meng had collected. Yesterday, someone from Er Meng sent Er Meng a fan of wild boar meat, a total of four pieces.

More than ten kilograms.

The piece of wild boar meat that was delivered was delivered with the skin and bones, which was almost a quarter of a wild boar, and cost Wu Fei almost three thousand yuan.

Although the price of feed pigs in the market has dropped a lot, the price of local pork fed in the village has not dropped one cent.

According to the butcher who killed the pigs, if the price of local pork is to be reduced, it will be possible at least until after the Chinese New Year.

However, within a month or two after the New Year, no one in the village will kill pigs. Those who can be killed will be killed before the New Year, because the price of pork during this period is the best and the best selling.

when.

After the Chinese New Year, pork will not be sold as much because most people prepare a lot of bacon during the Chinese New Year.

Many families still have bacon prepared after the Dragon Boat Festival. Naturally, the demand for fresh pork is much less. Even if you want to buy fresh pork, the amount you buy is relatively small.

As for the wild boar meat I bought this time, the price of the whole fan is 75 yuan per pound, which is relatively favorable in terms of price.

A few years ago, Wu Fei bought wild boar meat once from a classmate's village on the mountain. When Wu Fei arrived at that time, almost all the better ones in the wild boar had been bought up, so Wu Fei bought some that were not very good.

The pork cost 80 yuan a pound.

Compared with domestic pigs, wild boar meat has different living environment and habits, which determines that the amount of exercise of wild boar is bound to be much greater than that of domestic pigs.

This means that wild boar meat has lower fat content and higher protein content.

Experiments have found that the protein content in wild boar is 250 mg per gram, which is much greater than the 130 mg per gram in domestic pork.

Moreover, wild boar meat is redder in color than domestic pork. This is because the iron content of wild boar meat is higher than that of domestic pork.

The iron content in wild boar is almost 30 mg per gram of wild boar, which is almost three times the iron content in domestic pork.

In fact, if wild boar meat is not cooked well, it will not taste as good as domestic pork. Wu Fei once ate poorly cooked wild boar meat. It tasted like chewing dry wood chips and had a strong smell.

Earthy smell.

At that time, Wu Fei took one bite and never touched his chopsticks again. It was just a pity that such expensive materials were wasted.

In Wu Fei's place, the price of wild boar has always been much more expensive than domestic pork. Even compared with beef and mutton, it is still much higher.

In fact, wild boar can be sold at such a high price because it is rare and expensive. Especially after the country banned the hunting of wild boar, the price of wild boar has been soaring.

In the early years, wild boars were rarely seen on the mountain. However, after returning farmland to forest, the trees on the mountain have grown up.

Another important reason is that all the shotguns in the hands of villagers have been collected by the police station. It can be said that everyone is missing one of the most powerful tools for killing wild boars.

Over the years, the number of wild boars on the mountain has gradually increased. Occasionally, you can see groups of wild boars running into the crop fields planted by the villagers on the mountainside to harm the crops.

If I catch a wild boar in the mountains, I kill it secretly and don't dare to sell it openly. I just do it in a circle of acquaintances, where everyone introduces each other and then cuts the wild boar into pieces.

In fact, if it is to supplement nutrition, eating wild boar is really not worth it. Also, in terms of taste, wild boar is actually not as good as domestic pigs. Anyway, Wu Fei feels that eating wild boar once in a while is good, but eating it regularly is not as good as eating domestic pork.

Or beef and mutton are better.

In fact, the protein content of beef is not lower than that of wild boar, while fish is not only high in protein, but most of the fat in it is unsaturated fatty acids, which is more beneficial to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health.

In fact, people's preference for wild boar meat is more due to their understanding of "natural", "wild" and "scarcity".

In fact, wild food ingredients are just rarer in terms of resources, which does not mean they are more nutritious.

Moreover, sometimes wild ingredients may have dangers that we are not aware of. Because they have been living in the wild, many wild animals carry various parasites.

Sometimes, some parasites are not easy to kill, especially when the meat of these wild animals is used in restaurants outside, and some meat has not been cooked at high temperatures for a long time.

Those parasites that survive will be transferred to the human body, causing human diseases.

Therefore, when you eat outside, try to use fully heated food, because most germs can be killed by high temperatures.

After Wu Fei took the wild boar meat home, he asked his mother to cut more than two kilograms of the best pork from it.

My mother made these wild boar meats into a bowl of braised wild boar meat, which had a different flavor than the usual braised pork.

In fact, the most suitable way to cook wild boar is to braise it. After adding various seasonings, the earthy smell it contains is almost gone.

If wild boar is eaten stewed, it will have a bit of earthy smell anyway. Some people may not mind it very much and think that is the original way to eat it, but Wu Fei cannot accept it.

Another obvious feature of wild boar is that the pig skin is super thick. After braised in brown sauce, the pig skin is soft, glutinous, and especially chewy. Wu Fei especially likes to eat that kind.
