A group of people held bowls and drank a lot of water. After drinking, each family took two more buckets and found an open space outside the house to light a fire and cook.
Due to lack of water in the past two days, no one had eaten a proper meal. This time, if there was a chance, they would definitely have a good meal. Mrs. Shu even took the extravagance of boiling a dozen wild eggs to improve the food for the family.
The smell of rice wafted everywhere outside the house. The children, who were too sleepy to open their eyes, were so excited that their eyes were as wide as lanterns. While waiting for the meal, they pestered Yanyan to tell stories.
This time no one interrupted, Xiao Tuanzi held his chin in his hands and talked about stealing the cassock from the black bear monster to Zhu Bajie cheating on his wife.
In order to restore the plot as much as possible, Yan Yan used her mouth to score the music and also dragged Qingbai to demonstrate live.
In the festive music of "Deng Deng Deng...", Xiao Tuanzi twisted back and forth with Qingbai on his back, and from time to time he would imitate Zhu Bajie and hum, while the children beside him fell down laughing.
The men had nothing to do, so they took their tools and wandered around the mountains. If the blind cat encountered a dead mouse and caught a few pheasants, hares, etc., they could also improve the food for the family.
As soon as a dozen men went up the mountain, they saw a huge thing huddled in the weeds. Tang Dashan, who was leading the way, shined a torch on it. What a guy, it turned out to be a big, fat and strong wild boar!
"Catch it, catch it and we'll have meat to eat!"
Tang Dashan shouted loudly and rushed towards the wild boar excitedly. He was so fast that before Shu Mingli could reach out to stop him, he had already disappeared.
The wild boar was frightened. Instead of hiding, it charged towards the crowd with a pair of pointed tusks, flying sand and rocks along the way.
Looking at the behemoth getting closer and closer to him, Tang Dashan was dumbfounded. He had been hiding in the grass just now and didn't feel it. Now he saw how this thing was so scary!
Especially those pair of white fangs. If they were stabbed, half of their lives would be wasted!
Tang Dashan got scared, turned around and wanted to run, but at the critical moment his legs stopped working and he was shaking hard, but couldn't take a step forward.
At the critical moment, Shu Mingli rushed forward with an iron fork, stabbed the wild boar in the belly with the iron fork, and then knocked the wild boar to the ground with a punch.
Gu Dayong followed closely and stabbed the wild boar in the neck, killing it completely.
Tang Dashan was doused with hot pig's blood. As if he had lost his soul, his legs went limp and he knelt on the ground. He came into mouth-to-mouth contact with the wild boar that had just died.
Smelling the stinky smell, he felt a thrill all over and quickly got up. However, after a long time after getting up, his face was still white and he looked dumb.
Shu Mingli was a little worried, so she patted his shoulder and asked, "Brother Dashan, are you okay?"
Tang Dashan shook his head dully, and for a moment, he suddenly hugged Shu Mingli and cried until he burst into tears: "Brother, wuwu, my savior, thanks to you, otherwise I would have died here today, brother!"
Shu Mingli was choked by him and couldn't breathe for a long time. He turned away with difficulty and said: "What kind of savior? They are all from the same village. They are just helping me. You are fine."
Tang Dashan still hugged him and refused to let go. While crying, he rubbed himself against Shu Mingli. He wiped the pig blood off his head before stopping.
Several men worked together to drag the wild boar back. Looking at the fat pig, which weighed more than 200 kilograms, the villagers were as happy as if they were celebrating the New Year, chattering and discussing a hundred ways to eat pork.
Finally, the village chief stood up and said: "With the current weather, the pork will go bad in two days. Why don't we eat it all while we have water now? We can go on the road after we are full!"
This proposal was unanimously approved by everyone, so after a simple meal to satisfy their stomachs, a group of people started working around the wild boar.
Carpenter Shu Mingyi carried his tool box and transformed into a butcher. Using an ax and a saw, he finally dismantled the wild boar into several large pieces after a lot of effort.
Wash the pig head, pig tail, pig offal, etc. and throw them into the pot for cooking. Add yam beans, wild vegetables, etc., and cook three large pots full at once.
All other parts of the meat were roasted on the fire. Each family brought out a little salt, sauce, dogwood spicy oil and other seasonings, and rubbed them on, and soon the aroma came out.
Yan Yan was still concentrating on telling the story at first, but halfway through she couldn't stand the temptation of the smell of meat. She wiped her saliva and squeezed in front of the fire to look at the meat to stop her craving.
Wild boar meat is already fat, and when it is roasted over a flame, the oil drips down. If it is smeared with dogwood spicy oil, the red spicy pepper and the golden skin of the meat will be so tempting.
Unfortunately, the pork was too big, and Yan Yan had been slurping for a long time before the meat was cooked. At this time, Mrs. Shu came over with a bowl.
Yan Yan lowered her head and looked at the steaming pig brains in the bowl, a little unwilling to eat them, "I want to eat barbecue, not this."
"That one will take a long time to cook, so let's eat this one first." Mrs. Shu scooped up a piece and put it to her mouth with a smile, "You can eat whatever you eat to make up for it. After eating pig brain flowers, our Yan Bao will also become smarter!
"
"Really?" Yan Yan was dubious.
Mrs. Shu said with determination: "Of course it's true! Can grandma still lie to you?"
"Okay, I'll eat it!"
Yan Yan became energetic and ate the brains in one gulp. After finishing the meal, she smashed it into her mouth. It tasted pretty good.
"Delicious, soft, just like tofu curd!"
"My grandma cooked this pot. I added a lot of ingredients. How can it not be delicious?" Mrs. Shu smiled proudly and scooped up another large spoonful to feed her.
Not long after finishing the pig brains, Mrs. Sun came back with another bowl, this time filled with pig tails.
Yan Yan subconsciously touched her butt, shook her head and said to Sun, "Auntie, if you don't eat pig tails, Yan Yan doesn't need to patch them!"
Mrs. Sun couldn't help but laugh, "You can't grow a tail if you eat pig tails!"
"What does that look like?"
"Nothing grows. If a child eats a pig's tail, he won't have nosebleeds for a year!" Mrs. Sun smiled.
Does pig tail have this effect?
Then she has to eat it!
Yan Yan quickly wiped her hands, picked up the pig's tail and gnawed it. It tasted good, but it was full of bones, which was a bit hard on the teeth.
After she finished chewing the pig tail with great effort, old man Shu came back holding the bowl as if he were offering a treasure, "Yan Bao, look what good things grandpa got for you!"
Yan Yan raised her head and took a look. There was a lump of black meat in the bowl, which didn't look very delicious.
Old Man Shu proudly explained to her: "Don't you always think that dried meat is not delicious when stuffed into your teeth? This pig's tongue is not stuffed into your teeth. My grandfather took a lot of effort to snatch it from Old Man Tang. Please try it quickly.
Can’t eat it!”
Yanyan smacked her lips, wanting to say that she was full, but facing the expectant look in Old Man Shu's eyes, she couldn't bear to stop eating. Finally, she took a deep breath, touched her belly with both hands and stretched it downwards, trying to get rid of the food in her belly.
Stretch out the thing.
Old man Shu looked at him in bewilderment, "What's wrong? Do you feel sick in your stomach?"
Yan Yan shook her head and said seriously: "I want to push down the things in my stomach, and then eat the pig tongue!"
After saying that, I jumped twice more. Not to mention, my stomach felt a lot empty after just one set of operations.
