Chapter 3: Eating meat is a big deal

Li Ya returned home, put the wild boar in the yard, took off the bow and arrow hanging on his body, and pulled out the arrow in the wild boar's left eye, cleaned it up, and then pulled out the sickle pinned to his waist and hung it on the window. After drinking half a jar of tea, I found a smell on my body, so I hurriedly took off my clothes and washed my body, and changed my clothes when there was no smell.

Looking at the wild boar, Li Ya decided to let someone else get it, after all, he hadn't cleaned it up himself.

Out of the yard, Li Ya walked towards the compost place. Uncle is the captain of the production team, and he is in charge of keeping track of the work, so he will stay there all the time.

From a distance, I watched the crowd come and go with their backs, and occasionally there were horses and mules mixed in, a busy scene, and there was no lazy grinder. After all, most of the production team has the surname Li, and there are only a few other surnames, so it is much easier to manage.

Li Ya greeted all the way to the table where the uncle was recording his work, and waited for a wave of members to pass before saying to the uncle: "Uncle, I hit a wild boar that I did, what do you think about it?"

Uncle raised his eyebrows and said, "How big can you beat?" ”

Li Ya sighed and said, "There should be more than 100 catties, looking at the boss, it's not heavy, I'll carry it to my yard." ”

Uncle raised his voice: "Is there really more than 100 catties?" Seeing Li Ya nodding in confirmation, he said happily: "Great, these days are the time to make great efforts, and I am worried that everyone has no oil and water in their stomachs, which is very good!"

I happened to see Li Ya's third uncle, Li Mingshan, who often hunted and killed pigs, came back, and hurriedly shouted: "Mingshan, go home and take your pig killing tools and take two members to Minghai's house, the third year of junior high school hit a wild boar, you go to deal with it, I will take the members to divide the pork after work, and the three of you will count ten points." ”

As soon as the third uncle heard that there was a wild boar for him to deal with, he casually called two people to help, and went home happily. Li Ya had the impression that this Sanbo had a lot of strength, but he ate a lot, and the food he got by working hard in this era of eating big pots of rice to earn work was not enough to eat, forcing him to go to the mountains whenever he was free to find something to eat. Although he can carry the things that other people carry on their backs, and he can break the stairs when he carries things upstairs, he can eat more than two people.

Li Ya returned home slowly, and the three of them had already come over, and the tables had been moved over and set up. One is called Li Yuanzhi and Li Ya is called the eldest brother, twenty-four years old, who is as powerful and able to eat as the third uncle, and often goes into the mountains together; the other is half a year older than Li Ya, called Li Yuanjing, Li Ya is also called the eldest brother, and he also graduated from high school.

The third uncle looked up and saw Li Ya and exclaimed: "You can also hunt such a big wild boar, there are two handfuls." ”

Li Ya compared the situation at that time, and showed the three of them the longbow and arrows of meritorious service, and Brother Yuanzhi said: "You kid luck, in an arrow, only the eyes of the wild boar are the most vulnerable places, and you can't shoot into the bare wooden pole if you are a little off." ”

The third uncle tried the bow and said: "This guy is so good, get a few more to go to the old forest to hunt wild boars, there are several groups of wild boars on the edge of the old forest, and it is enough to eat for a few days by him." ”

Brother Yuanjing said thoughtfully: "I'm afraid that this wild boar doesn't have more than 200 catties, right? ”

Li Ya said with a smile: "Big brother, you don't need to be able to stand up to strong labor, I will go to herd pigs in two days, and besides, plowing with a hoe is all about technology, and I can't do it if I don't have the skills." ”

Sanbo took out the knife and began to peel the skin, so that the price of wild boar skin without wounds was very high, and the experienced Sanbo handled the knife, and the three of them were considered to be the masters. Li Ya looked at one of his smooth hind legs, and suddenly said, "I forgot to ask you to drink water, it just so happens that I have a little dry mouth (thirsty), big brother, you take this side." ”

Li Ya washed his hands and boiled the water, and came out with the tea jar, at this time, there was nothing particular about the countryside, and there were no particular conditions, so he drank it directly with the tea jar. The three of them stabilized the wild boar, washed their hands and drank water, and waited for the tea jar to turn around, and only the tea residue remained. Li Ya poured out the tea residue, cleaned it and put the tea leaves back in the water to boil, he was really thirsty, and half a scoop of cold water was satisfied.

After a while, the water boiled, Li Ya made tea, and simply watched them busy with their work, and by the way, he also asked about the precautions, Li Ya remembered that in later generations they did not eat part of the pig (pronounced liá

tí), it is said that lice will grow on the body after eating. I don't think there's a taboo here.

After peeling the skin and removing the bones, Brother Yuanjing served water, and Brother Sanbo and Brother Yuanzhi cleaned their stomachs. Li Ya saw that the time was almost up, and began to brush the pot to cook, of course, it couldn't be rice, but corn rice.

Corn rice Li Ya has grown from a snack to a large one, and the technique of steaming corn rice is still very good. Li Ya scooped two bowls of cornmeal and poured them into the dustpan used for making noodles, and looked at the stone-milled noodles that were indeed far from the ones made by the machines of later generations.

It took about 50 minutes to steam the two dishes (corn rice needs to be steamed twice, and the first time it was steamed out was too dry), and the three of them had finished for about 20 minutes, and they were pulling out their chimneys and putting on a homely routine (bragging, swinging the dragon gate array are exaggerated and derogatory, and the conversation is too formal, which can aptly describe relatives and neighbors sitting together and chatting).

The sun went down for a while, and the uncle came over with Li's father and Li's mother to share the pork. The uncle looked at it and said, "This pig has two hundred and twenty-three." In this way, some bones are left for the third year of junior high school, and the rest is sent to the production team with the pig's head to eat tomorrow. You also keep the waist and belly (dǔ) children. The family is divided into two catties of meat, and the rest of the families with the elderly are divided. ”

Gradually, people came to receive the meat, and everyone smiled on their faces, thinking that they would not be able to eat meat a few times a year, which was purely unexpected. Later, Li Ya heard her mother say that when she was a child, the oil boiled out of a pig's head would take a year for the family, although it was close to the mountains and there were many fields, which was much better in comparison, but it was also not easy to eat meat in this year, and she was reluctant to eat it.

After the pork was distributed, Dad Li helped send the pig's head to the uncle's house, the production team did not have a house, and the uncle's house was a temporary office for the production team.

Li Ya helped send a waist and stomach to the second uncle's house according to his mother's instructions, and his grandparents and the second uncle's house lived, and several elders warned Li Ya not to take such an adventure next time. Li Ya nodded when he heard this, if he knew that the wild boar was there, how could he still go up?

When he came back and passed by several doors, he smelled the fragrance wafting from the kitchen, and the cheers of children, Li Ya pulled a smile at the corner of his mouth, and he felt satisfied after dividing the pork! Could it be that his own thoughts were so noble, but he didn't find out? Or was the spirit of the little family from later generations purified by Li Ya's thoughts of this era? No matter what was going on, he was happy in his heart, even if he faced his mother's ear and face, he also had a smile on his face, which made his mother think that his attitude of admitting his mistake was perfunctory.

Li Ya had to discuss with his father the feasibility of breeding earthworms to feed pigs, although his father felt that pigs would not eat meat, but earthworms are some, it is not feasible to try first, and then determine whether to breed earthworms.

After eating a meal, my mother said, "Today's meal is okay, and I will do this for the past few days until I am busy with heavy work." ”

Generally, only when you work hard will you cook dry rice and eat it, and you will be hungry. Almost all of the days are spent in batter. In this way, you can save some money for a year, save some food, and prepare for emergencies.

After eating a few pieces of meat, Li Ya obviously felt that his stomach was much more comfortable, of course he controlled his appetite, this body could not bear too much oil and water, and it was easy to have diarrhea.

On this night, I don't know how many children have a good meal, and some people may have a bad stomach. The adults were planning whether they would have the opportunity to hunt a few wild boars to improve their lives, even if there was only one hare and pheasant, and they had already come to Li Ya's house to see the bow and arrow that Li Ya shot the wild boar.

Li Ya brought a bow and arrows, and a few of them carefully looked at the bow with the help of an oil lamp, and they all praised it as a good family after trying it. Of course, such a powerful and labor-saving fellow, except for the disadvantage of being too long, is quite suitable for hunting.

After ten o'clock, no one came again, Li Ya cleaned up and lay on the bed, feeling that it was a good thing that there were more longbows in the village, and adults and children could eat more meat, and now when this person was not full, it was too unrealistic to protect animals and protect ecological horses, and no one was a fairy who did not eat fireworks in the world.
