Chapter 32: Eight Boar Heads
After the sowing was finished, Jiang Momo and the old lady talked about making cured meat, Yao Huazhi angrily pulled Jiang Momo's ears and turned around a lot, and the painful Jiang Momo screamed for a long time, making Jiang Aiju and Jiang Yaozu on the side almost die of laughter.
After suffering a painful meal, Yao Huazhi also agreed to lend the warehouse on the side of the vegetable garden to his daughter to dry bacon, but it is absolutely not okay to smoke meat in the yard.
The smell is too big, although her house is far away from other people's homes in the village, but from time to time there are also people, this smell is big, don't people doubt it, how to explain it?
Jiang Momo felt that what the old lady said made sense, so when she saw Qin Tian again, Jiang Momo had to tell her difficulties, and Qin Tian only said lightly that she would go to the mountains.
So two or three days later, in the afternoon, Jiang Momo went to Beishantou with her sister Jiang Aiju and younger brother Jiang Yaozu.
The cave that Qin Tian said is on the westernmost side of the North Mountain, and it has to go around the mountain for half a circle, which happens to be facing Xilingzi Village, and there are mountains on the opposite side, and no one has set foot on this half circle of mountain roads because the road through this section looks too steep.
How to describe it, it is a stone ladder built with wood on a stone wall at a vertical level of 90 degrees.
It's very scary just to look at, not to mention that he has to go up, Jiang Momo, who had been walking the mountain road for an hour, saw that his face was black when he saw this stone mountain road, and as a result, he saw Qin Tian take the lead in walking to the stone ladder, and then he turned in and disappeared.
The three members of the Jiang family were stunned on the spot, where did this person go?
Then I saw Qin Tian appear from the bend again.
Jiang Momo stepped forward curiously, took a closer look, and found that as long as he walked up the stone stairs for two steps, there was a big stone bend.
In particular, there are those stone ladders on the stone wall to cover up, so that people will not notice this place at all, this is a cave leading to the mountain, a few people walked in, after a dark road, they saw the bright light, it turned out that this bend is a tunnel through the mountain.
It's a really good place to go, but the surprise is still to come, just see the bright light, and what catches your eye is blood and animal carcasses all over the ground.
At the entrance of the stone cave, there were eight wild boars, large and small, and the wild boars that had been killed were lying neatly on the ground, bleeding in front of a ditch.
After Jiang Momo was shocked for a moment, she became accustomed to seeing the pigs, and even tied the apron she brought, looking ready to do a big job.
But the other two of the Jiang family are not used to it, as soon as they came, it was so bloody, such a shocking scene, first frightened, and then surprised, because Jiang Momo said that it costs five cents an hour to work, and there is a meat subsidy before leaving.
Eight pigs, money is one thing, this meat subsidy is absolutely not to worry about, even if they give some pork liver and pork belly, they are happy, especially Jiang Yaozu, who was recently brainwashed by Jiang Momo, feels that he is the only old man in this generation of the family, and he has too much responsibility to support his family and protect his sister and Auntie.
Now that I can make money by my own labor, I think about the bubbling of beauty in my heart.
So after the shock, several people put on their aprons and started to do it.
This wild boar is not the same as a domestic pig, in addition to the difference in meat quality, the cortex and appearance are also very different.
The wild boars in the mountains are real loner wild boars, they have long fangs and move so fast that even leopards dare not mess with them.
Especially this kind of wild boar in the deep mountains and old forests, and some of them are also wearing iron armor, I don't believe it, Jiang Momo has seen the news on the Internet in his previous life, and there is really a hunting team to kill such a wild boar in armor.
It turns out that some wild boars are very intelligent, and they will look for pine trees with pine resin to rub on them every spring.
Every day, rub your body full of sticky pine resin and then roll in the mud to give yourself an extra layer of shell outside your body, and year after year, the shell gets thicker and thicker, and it is polished to a shiny and shiny light, like armor, this naturally formed armor can't even hit a bullet.
Therefore, the skin of the wild boar cannot be eaten, and it can only be peeled completely.
Jiang Jiasan just didn't have the ability to skin such a wild boar, this work was completed by Qin Tian, after the skinning was completed, it was thrown directly on the stone on the edge of the stream, Jiang Momo and the three of them hurriedly went up and divided the whole pig.
At first, the skills of the three people were not good, after dividing the three heads, the three of them understood the role of the joints, and they could unload a whole pig in an hour by exerting force at the joints, and cut all the meat into strips and skewered them with hemp rope, waiting for them to be smoked.
After Qin Tian finished peeling the skin, he no longer participated in other work, but found a large amount of hollow wood and fine bamboo, and made two gates for the front and back of the cave.
The men were busy until seven or eight o'clock in the afternoon, when all the pigs were killed and hung on the mountain wall, and a large fire was lit in the center of the cave.
Qin Tian directly used the peeled pigskin as the main material for the fire, not to mention, when it was burned, it sounded crackling, and the fire was quite fierce.
Qin Tian was in charge of the bacon, and Jiang Momo and the others went down the mountain first with eight pig heads and a few pork belly and pig intestines.
When she was about to leave, Jiang Momo deliberately carried a lot, and as soon as it was dark, she hurriedly put most of her things into the warehouse of the buckle farm, even if it was this way, her shoulders were strangled with red marks.
The wild boar's head is particularly difficult to clean, but it is also meat, and the pig's stomach and large intestine have only been roughly cleaned in the mountains, so there is really no time.
When they took the things back, Yao Huazhi and Jiang Dad stayed up almost all night before they packed up the eight pigs' heads.
Cleaning up the pig's head is the most troublesome, first use a red-hot iron rod to burn off all the hair on the pig's head, and then scrub it with alkaline water, at least seven or eight times, which is considered to be clean.
If you want to eat it in your mouth, you have to put it in a pot and simmer it for seven or eight hours, and all kinds of seasonings have to be enough, otherwise it will kill you.
The pig's belly and pig's large intestine are also troublesome to clean up, at least four or five times inside and out, but fortunately, these things are done, it is really fragrant, and it is more satisfying than eating big fat meat, so even if it is difficult to clean up, no one is willing to throw it, this is real meat.
No, it wasn't dawn in the morning, Jiang Momo washed her face and went up the mountain with the basket on her back, and there were a few pork belly, pig liver and pig lungs that didn't come back, and they were placed by the stream yesterday.
I have to say that this cave that Qin Tian is looking for is really a good place, not to mention the concealment, there is a small waterhole on the side, don't look small, the effect is quite large, and there is no problem with simply renewing it.
