Chapter 231 Wild Boar

Lu Heng looked at the porridge that reflected the person's clear face, sighed in his heart, and said to Xiao Hu: "Eat it."

The little tiger then took the pottery bowl with a hole in it and started to devour it hungrily.

Mother Hua went in again and filled half the bowl - only half the bowl was left.

She put the bowl in Lu Heng's hand and touched Lu Heng's forehead: "First, take care of your belly... Wait for brother and the others to come back... Mom will bring you delicious food from the county."

It turns out that Mother Hua is going to the county town today.

The real leader in this family is Hua’s mother. Da Zhuang and his three brothers only cut enough firewood to make ends meet, and more other expenses are subsidized by Hua’s mother’s weaving and selling of fabrics.

Every once in a while, Hua's mother would go to the county town, sell the knitted fabrics, and come back in exchange for some daily necessities.

Every time at this time, Hua's mother would bring some delicious food - at this time, the three brothers Da Zhuang and Lu Heng were the happiest.

"Mom, are you going to the county town today?" Lu Heng couldn't help but ask.

Mother Hua said: "We are running out of salt at home, so we have to buy some. I sold the cloth on the way."

The fabrics woven by Hua Mama are of exquisite quality. If they were traded normally, the family would never be in such a tight situation. But the oppression was too severe - it seemed that all the landowners and businessmen everywhere were the most ferocious beasts.

The cloth woven by Mother Hua is not an ordinary cloth.

It’s Tong Jin!

Lu Heng was ignorant before, but now he knows that Tong brocade is one of the famous brocades as famous as Shu brocade and other kinds of brocades!

Every time Hua Mama has to weave a piece of children's brocade, this process from raw materials to finished product takes at least three months. It is so meticulous and difficult, and the money earned from selling it is only enough to subsidize the family. It is tight, and it can be seen that the county

How dark is the heart of a businessman!

Lu Heng couldn't help but said, "I'll go with grandma."

Mother Hua smiled and touched his forehead again: "It's a hundred miles to go to the county seat, and you're still young."

Hua's mother's tone made Lu Heng unable to refute. It was not that this sentence could not be refuted, but the firmness in Hua's mother's tone.

Lu Heng nodded silently.

Xiaohu finished the porridge and jumped away. He still had to fetch water for Hu Shapi. He had to fetch three more tanks today, so he couldn't delay.

Lu Heng then said, "Come for dinner in the evening."

Xiaohu happily agreed.

Mother Hua just looked at it with a smile, then packed up the piece of children's brocade that she had worked so hard to weave, wrapped it tightly in cloth, touched Lu Heng's forehead, and went down the mountain.

Lu Heng stood in front of the door of the house halfway up the mountain, watching his grandmother disappear from sight, and then sighed softly.

Then he turned around and closed the door, walked around the house with his bare hands, and went deep into the mountain.

Not long after, Lu Heng came back.

Behind him were two fat wild boars!

He went for a walk in the forest and found a group of wild boars that were digging into the soil. He used the technique of gathering the animals and picked the two fattest ones and brought them back.

I have to say that the environment in this world is really 'very good'. Even the wild boar is much bigger than what Lu Heng saw in his previous life.

For example, each of these two heads weighs seven to eight hundred pounds!

This is really not very friendly to hunters.

A wild boar weighing seven to eight hundred kilograms is covered in thick soil and armor made from long-term friction of pine tar. The threat of a hunting bow is really not great. Only traps can trap these big wild animals, but it is still dangerous.

Moreover, it is not easy to dig a trap in the mountains that can trap a large wild animal weighing seven to eight hundred kilograms.

The two wild boars followed Lu Heng in an orderly manner, reaching as high as his shoulders. They seemed to be escorting Lu Heng.

But in fact, they are Lu Heng's prey.

After letting the two wild boars stay outside, Lu Heng went into the house and took out a knife to show the wild boars' vital points. Lu Heng stabbed them one by one and slaughtered them without even making a sound.

Lu Heng was not a pig butcher by trade, but he had killed enough people. Although he mostly relied on strength to win, he was very knowledgeable about the vital points of living creatures.

Wherever you cut the knife, you can kill it easily. Although wild boars are different from humans, the principle is the same.

He killed the wild boar by the pool. Lu Heng took a knife to skin and remove the body and quickly took it out.

There is a pool next to the house, which is made of stones. There is a spring next to it, which is the source of water for the family to survive.

Clean it up properly, keep the bones as bones, the meat as meat, and clean out the internal organs. There will be thousands of pounds of good meat.

It's not over yet.

Lu Heng went to the kitchen to light up the fire again, found a few clay pots, cleaned them, and started refining the oil.

Lu Heng picked specifically the fat ones. Although wild boars do not produce much oil, the fat ones are still a bit fat. Cut the suet into pieces, throw them into the hot pot, and slowly simmer them.

When the fragrant oil residue is boiled out, take it out and put it in a clay pot. Then scoop up the clear lard one by one and pour it into the clay pot.

Two clay pots were completely filled!

This is a happy thing.

What kind of food is there to eat at home? It’s usually a piece of bread and a bowl of porridge. At most, some green wild vegetables are added to the porridge. Only when Hua’s mother comes back from selling brocade from the county town can she have something delicious.

Now he has thousands of kilograms of pork and two large cans of lard. Although it is just the beginning, Lu Heng is very happy.

However, pork cannot be stored for a long time - it is summer now, let alone a long period of time, just a day or two, it will cause bacteria and make it inedible.

what to do?

drying!

Although it is not salted, it is better to dry it than to leave it like this.

So I took the charcoal at home - the three Da Zhuang brothers had fired a lot of it during this period, and it was just for use.

First build a shelf with wooden sticks, place the pieces of pork on the shelf in layers, then surround it with branches with thick leaves, cover it, and then light a fire underneath.

It can't be an open flame, it must be allowed to emit thick smoke!

When the meat was roasted and smoky, Lu Heng went into the kitchen again, cut the offal into pieces, cleaned it, and put it in a pot to stew.

Soon, there was a smoky smell outside the house, and a strong fragrance wafted inside the house.

But it still smelled fishy - Lu Heng slapped his head, he had to find something to remove the smell and taste, otherwise it wouldn't taste good.

This is not difficult for Lu Heng - he knows every medicinal material in the art of medicine. There are many medicinal materials for removing fishy smell.

He immediately went into the mountain, and soon after he came out, he found some wild ginger, wild garlic, and a bagful of fresh star anise.

Wash it quickly and put it in the pot.

After thinking for a while, he poured in the half bottle of wine that Da Zhuang had hidden that he was reluctant to drink!

By two or three o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Heng finally ate meat - a large pot full of wild boar offal stew, and Lu Heng ate more than half of it by himself!

He is hungry!

The art of taking food reminds him all the time, asking him to eat quickly!

After putting the rest in a clay pot, Lu Heng took the big bones of the wild boar and stewed them in another pot.

While looking at the smoked and roasted pork outside, he stewed the big bones, and had another delicious meal before evening.
