Xu Shiyan has always believed that these dogs were at most a wild boar that accidentally broke into the field and had no experience of entering the mountains.
Old Li Tou is over 60 years old and his physical strength is not enough. How can he run around the mountains hunting with his dog?
But when the yellow dog started making noises just now, Xu Shiyan felt that he had made a mistake in his judgment. The dog didn't look like it was inexperienced.
When the three dogs cooperated and surrounded the wild boar, Xu Shiyan knew that he had really underestimated Lao Li Tou before.
Regardless of his age, he is still an expert at hunting, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
These male dogs are large in size, trained by Old Li Tou to be ferocious and ruthless, and they cooperate with each other very well. They are definitely the most outstanding hunting dogs.
This was really a big surprise, and Xu Shiyan was very happy.
Two shots killed the wild boar in the head. The moment the wild boar fell, the three dogs pounced on it and bit it.
Xu Shiyan whistled, and the three dogs stopped and looked at Xu Shiyan with their heads tilted.
Xu Shiyan stood the gun aside and pulled out the knife from his leg.
This knife is longer and slightly narrower than the butcher's knife. It is extremely sharp and glows coldly in the sun.
Xu Shiyan walked up to the wild boar, lifted one of the wild boar's front legs with one hand, pressed the wild boar's hind leg with his right leg, then raised the knife with his hand and neatly disembowelled the wild boar.
The pig intestines were hung directly on nearby branches to worship the mountain god.
In fact, it means leaving some food for certain carnivores such as wolves, tigers, leopards, etc. to prevent them from chasing after them following the bloody smell.
He took off the pig's heart, cut it open with a knife, and gave the largest piece to the big yellow dog.
This big yellow dog is an excellent alpha dog, with a good head and a cruel mouth.
Without the big yellow dog today, it would be difficult to surround the wild boar with just the green dog and the spotted dog.
The first dog must be treated like the first dog. A large portion of the pig's heart is given as a reward to the dog.
Xu Shiyan held the pig heart in his hand and handed it to the big yellow dog.
The yellow dog was panting heavily, while carefully taking the pig's heart from Xu Shiyan's hand, and went to the side to eat it.
The remaining pig heart was divided into two and given to the flower dog and the green dog.
The two dogs did the same, gently took the pig's heart away and went to eat next to it.
After finishing the pig heart, there was also pork liver and lungs, etc. All three dogs had bulging bellies.
When you take a hunting dog into the mountains, you must let the hunting dog open its mouth to eat. This is the best reward for the hunting dog.
The hunting dog fought with all his life against the wild beast, and when he made a big kill, he must be rewarded.
This running basket is not small, weighing nearly 400 pounds. Even if the internal organs are removed, there will still be more than 300 pounds left.
It's very troublesome to transport such a big guy back, but it's not a problem for Xu Shiyan.
While the dogs were eating, Xu Shiyan went to the forest and chopped some sticks.
The bottom surfaces of two of them were flattened, then tied together with bark, etc., and tied with ropes to make a simple sledge.
After the sledge was ready, he used a stick to pry the wild boar carcass over and put it on the sledge. Then Xu Shiyan slowly pulled the sledge back.
The three dogs were full and did not run around. They followed Xu Shiyan in front of him and behind him.
The big yellow dog saw Xu Shiyan struggling to drag the sledge. He seemed to want to help but had nowhere to go, so he barked anxiously.
Xu Shiyan stretched out his hand and rubbed Dahuang's head, "Don't worry, wait until you get back. I'll make a dog sledge, and then I'll go hunting in the mountains. You guys can help pull the prey."
I just thought of taking the dog out for a walk today. I didn't expect that I would gain something as soon as I entered the mountain. It was a miscalculation.
In this way, Xu Shiyan took the trouble to pull the sledge and stopped and walked countless times along the way, and finally returned to the venue.
"Daughter-in-law, open the door and see what I got back?"
The entrance to the venue was closed with a lock on the inside, so Xu Shiyan could only shout loudly from outside.
Seeing that the small house was not far from the gate, Su Anying was always worried about Xu Shiyan and would come out to take a look from time to time.
So when Xu Shiyan shouted outside, Su Anying heard it immediately and came out with the key to open the door.
"Ah, did you get a big wild boar?
Such a big guy, so much pork, can we finish it?" Su Anying looked at the big guy on the sledge and exclaimed.
"What are you afraid of? The meat can be stored when it gets cold, so you can keep it and eat it slowly." Xu Shiyan smiled and dragged the sledge through the door.
"When you have time, send some back to our mother's house.
From now on, I will take the dogs into the mountains and hunt whatever I encounter. If I save a lot, one day the management team will borrow a horse sledge and I will take you back to the camp and send some to my father-in-law."
He has been busy since he returned home and never had the chance to accompany Su Anying back to her parents' home. She didn't even notify the Su family about Su Anying's pregnancy.
Xu Shiyan has been thinking about it, but he can't help it, he is too busy.
Now that the couple lives on the mountain again, they will definitely not be able to go down the mountain until the twelfth lunar month, so they can only wait.
Xu Shiyan knew that his wife was thinking about her parents' family, but she just didn't say it, so he took the opportunity today to mention it first.
Sure enough, when Xu Shiyan said this, Su Anying immediately became happy and her eyes brightened.
"No wonder dad praised you and said you found a good son-in-law. It's really good. He still cares about my father-in-law.
It doesn't matter if you bring something with you or not, as long as you have this childlike heart, my father will be happier if he knows about it than if you eat any amount of food from us."
Su Anying came forward and helped her husband pull the sledge, and the two of them dragged the sledge to the front of the house.
"That is, my father married my daughter, whom I have raised for more than twenty years, so how can I not think about my father-in-law?
It's just that we can't get away now, and we really have no other options. We're waiting to go down the mountain and take you back to stay there for a few days."
As Xu Shiyan said this, he took out his knife and skinned the wild boar on the sledge.
The skin of wild boar is thick, so generally no one eats it, so the skin is peeled off.
The scraped pig skin is nailed to the wall to dry and can be used for other purposes.
The remaining meat was divided into pieces. The fatter ones were still cut off for Su Anying to refine the oil. The thinner ones were placed on the wooden board and poured with some water.
Xu Shiyan went into the mountains to hunt in the morning. Although he left early, the return trip was too time-consuming and it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon when he got home.
The temperature on the mountain is low, so pour some cold water on the pork and it will be frozen hard by night. Then put it into a wooden barrel and cover it with a layer of snow, where it can be stored for a long time.
In the winter in the Northeast, there is a big natural refrigerator outside, and everything can be frozen outside.
Freezing some meat is a piece of cake.
By the time Xu Shiyan finished packing the wild boar meat, it was already past three o'clock.
It gets dark early in the winter in the Northeast. There is no electricity in the mountains and we only rely on kerosene lamps or candles for lighting, so we have to start cooking dinner early.
"I haven't eaten the sauerkraut that my mother brought me yet. Let's stew the sauerkraut with wild boar meat and eat it tonight. You've been tired for a long day and want something delicious." Su Anying suggested.
"It just so happens that I'm refining the oil first and cleaning the pot with sauerkraut."
"Well, okay, you can do it as you see fit. The wild boar is a running basket, and the meat is quite juicy. It's best to put it in water to tighten it first and add more seasonings."
Wild boar meat is not as delicious as domestic pig meat. It is too woody and has a fishy smell.
If the young wild boar or sow is still fine, this kind of running basket will have a bad smell.
Xu Shiyan was afraid that Su Anying wouldn't understand this, so he reminded her specifically.
