In fact, whether badger pork is good or not depends on the chef's skills, but many people don't know how to make it, so it is often said that badger pork is sour.

Therefore, badger pork is not as popular as rabbits and brood chickens in rural areas.

However, it is different when you arrive in the town, although the people in the town are also considered rural people, after all, they have more money than the people in the mountains, and they rarely eat wild things, so badger pork has a market in the town.

In order to prevent the skin and flesh of the badger pig from being cut by the stones on the road, Guo Qu cut some pine branches on the spot, put the badger pig on it, tied it with wild vines, and then dragged the badger pig to his home with a sweaty head.

Nearly a mile of mountain road, and it was an uneven downhill road, he walked for twenty minutes, and when he arrived at home, his hands were too weak to exert themselves, and he was trembling.

However, when he opened the door with joy, he happened to hear the girl's cry, which was heartbroken.

Frightened, he hurriedly walked to the wing, when he went up the mountain before, he was afraid that the girl would wake up and run around, so he fastened the door of the wing room from the outside, at this time the girl could not open the door, and there was no one else in the house, she was naturally very afraid.

Opening the door of the wing, Guo went to see the girl sitting on the ground crying at a glance, the girl wiped her eyes with her hands at this time, crying while wiping, but because there was too much dust on the ground, after mixing with tears, the whole person became a little cat.

Guo Qu was startled, he didn't know how long the girl had been awake, but seeing that her face was dirty, it was estimated that she had been awake for a long time.

"Pot pot ~"

When the girl saw Guo Qu, she hurriedly crawled over and hugged Guo Qu's legs, no matter what Guo Qu said, she didn't let go, which shows how scared she was.

Guo Qu's heart was full of self-blame, he thought he would be back in half an hour, but he undercounted the weight of the badger pig, and it took him an hour to come and go.

Seeing that the girl didn't let go, Guo Qu hurriedly whispered, "Xiaojing is good, Xiaojing doesn't cry, it's my brother who is wrong, come and hug my brother." ”

Holding the girl and walking out, he almost fell down at the first step, dragging more than fifty pounds of things and walking a kilometer downhill mountain road, he not only had soft hands, but even his legs were weak.

fetched water, washed the girl's face, and then took out a comb and carefully combed the girl's hair, and after everything was done, he took Xiaojing, who was still crying, out of the door and went to his cousin's house.

He plans to sell badger pork by the pound, although it is troublesome, but it is more profitable, and money is very important to him and to this family at this time.

Thinking that his grandfather was over sixty years old and still working for people to pay back the money, he didn't feel good in his heart, after all, he was the one who was bitten by the snake.

The reason why he went to his uncle's house was because his cousin was a butcher, but only during the New Year's holidays, his cousin would kill pigs, because only during the New Year, people in the mountains would kill pigs.

Holding the girl's hand with his left hand, he knocked on the door with his right hand, shouting as he knocked, "Uncle, I'm Xiao Ming." ”

The reason why he is called uncle, not uncle, is because it seems more affectionate, and he has never called uncle anyway.

Xiao Ming is Guo Qu's nickname, and in the countryside, basically everyone has a nickname.

It was his eldest aunt who opened the door, and when he saw that it was Guo Qu, a smile appeared on his face, after all, there are two families surnamed Guo in this village, although the relationship is separated by a line, it is still much better than others.

"What's the matter, Xiao Ming, what are you looking for your uncle?" said his aunt with a smile.

"I caught a badger pig today, and I want to borrow my uncle's pig-killing knife to use it. ”

"Your uncle is not at home, but I know where his pig-killing knife is, and I will carry it for you. ”

The so-called pig-killing knife does not refer to a knife to kill pigs, but refers to a set, including a knife for killing pigs, a knife for cutting the belly, a knife for separating lean meat and fat, an axe for slaughtering pig bones, and of course, other utensils, so it is inconvenient to say more.

That's why his aunt said the word "back".

After waiting for nearly five minutes, his aunt handed him the back pocket, he put the back pocket on his back, and took the girl's hand and walked home.

First boiled a pot of boiling water, then rinsed some cold water, and then poured water on the badger pig.

The reason why boiling water is mixed with a small amount of cold water is to not blanch the pigskin, but to pluck the hair. In short, when the pig hair is shaved with an iron scraper, the hair can be shaved off, and the pig skin will not be damaged.

This is a technical job, but fortunately, I learned a lot from his cousin in my previous life, and now I can just use it.

Feeling almost, Guo Qu took out a scraper from his back pocket and shaved the hair clean, and then used a knife to break the badger pig.

Breaking a badger pig in half is another technical task, because you can't destroy the internal organs in its stomach, especially the intestines, otherwise it will definitely stink.

And the badger pig is about the same as the pig, broken in half, the bone on its back is the key, at this time the axe is used, the pig's backbone is actually two halves, there is a gap in the middle, but it is closed, and there is no seam in some key places, this is what his uncle taught him, it is estimated that in the previous life was ready to pass on this craft to him, but he has not been able to do it.

When everything is done, the badger pig has become two halves, and there are few wild animals that are fat, and this one is no exception, after all, it is strange to run around in the mountains every day.

When he was making badger pigs, he would go into the house every ten minutes to add firewood, and it was already eleven o'clock at this time, and the rice must have been cooked in the pot.

He hesitated, and saw the girl's thin body, and finally cut three catties of badger pork to cook, of course, this time only half a catty was used for stir-frying, and the others were hung on the stigma in the house.

After the meals were ready, he cut another pound of meat and sent it to his uncle's family, after all, he borrowed someone's pig-killing knife, so he naturally wanted to give something.

At this time, his grandfather had not yet returned, so he put the entrails of the badger pig in a wooden basin and carried it to a pit in the mountain not far away.

This pit is actually a deep pit formed by karst landforms, so there is no pollution of the environment, of course, this is only a small amount, if it is more, then it is naturally different.

The entrails of wild animals are not to be eaten, because the devil knows what they ate before they died.

In this way, Guo went to estimate that the badger pork and bones were about thirty catties.

Thirty pounds should be worth a lot of money.

After waiting for about half an hour, his grandfather came back, saw the two meats on the table, looked at Guo Qu in surprise, and hurriedly ran to the pigsty to take a look, and only then did he relax after hearing the pig's cry.

Seeing that his grandfather was so nervous, Guo couldn't help but laugh before explaining, "This is badger pork, which was caught with a clamp last night." ”

After listening to the explanation, his grandfather's hanging heart was put down.

"That's a lot, what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to sell it on the street, I've calculated it, how can these have thirty catties, if it's three yuan a catty, then there are ninety yuan, or grandpa, you go sell it with me, don't go to work this afternoon." ”

Guo Qu's grandfather thought about it, and finally agreed, after all, Guo Qu was less than ten years old, and his grandfather didn't worry about him.

In fact, Guo Qu didn't say a word, as long as he sold the badger pork this time, the local doctor could pay off the debt, and he didn't have to work for him every day.
