It is said that in the years when the wolves had not yet settled in Yanqi Mountain, they encountered wild boars in the sweet potato fields and cabbage fields that went down the mountain, and the public society uniformly selected young and middle-aged men to go up the mountain to hunt wild boars. After carrying it down, it was divided from house to house, and the heads of the households participating in the hunt were divided into more pounds of meat.

However, soon after, the top of Yanqi Mountain was occupied by wild wolves, and the members gradually did not dare to go up the mountain.

Compared to eating meat, it must still be a small life. Only a few people who have a large number of people in the family and cannot feed the old and young with the rations they have allocated, occasionally they will organize themselves and go into the mountains to hunt rabbits and catch pheasants.

The commune cadres vaguely heard that there was such a thing, but it didn't work if they couldn't catch the scene. Until one day, a member of the club was almost bitten to death by a wolf, and even fewer people dared to go up the mountain.

The secretary simply spoke: "I don't limit you anymore, I want to go openly." The rabbits you caught, the pheasants you caught, and the wild herbs you dig up are yours. But there is one point, if you want to go up the mountain, you must think clearly, once something happens, what will happen to your family? ”

After simply letting go, there were no more members who went up the mountain recklessly, and at most they stopped at Xiaopolin.

Occasionally, if you are lucky, you will get a rabbit or pheasant near the small slope forest, which is luckier than picking up money.

But Xiang just hunted a big wild boar, can it not make people envious and jealous.

If he didn't take it out that time, he would designate someone to go to the secretary to make trouble. Even if it's divided, there are still people chewing on the root of their tongues. That's why it's hard to fill the craving.

And this time the wild boar, because it was hunted together with several other members, the limelight was not as strong as last time.

However, there are still many people who are envious and jealous.

Although many people have proposed to take the family's surplus rations and exchange them for wild boar meat with Xiang Gang, Xiang Gang also agreed, but he still has the heart to give up, hoping that it is best to eat for nothing like last time.

"According to me, such a big pig, how can your family eat it, it's so hot, share a little bit with us, and a little less rancid. You say, don't you?"

"Not really. And how did I hear that this pig was not caught in the mountains, but near the crop field at the foot of the mountain, and it was obviously delivered to the door, so it should belong to the collective. ”

"That's it, even if you don't get all the points, you have to take out half of it. ”

“……”

In short, I want to eat it for nothing.

Xiang Gang was so busy hitting the back of his head with his heel, too lazy to pay attention to them. Hengzhu didn't plan to take it out for white this time, and it was useless to say anything.

The other members who owned a small part of the wild boar were not as good-tempered as him.

Of course, the main reason is that I haven't eaten fresh pork for half a year, which one is willing to share it for nothing?

Instead of giving these people who say cool things, it is better to attribute them all to Xiang Gang. When the boars attacked them and almost trampled the crops, why didn't they come to their aid?

"If you are not going to change the pork, don't get in the way here, and retreat out of the courtyard. The pig-killing knife doesn't have long eyes!" said the young and vigorous Apo at them with a straight face.

"Yo! The boy didn't grow up, and he dared to argue with your second uncle? The pig was not caught by you, what are you angry!"

"Who said I didn't catch it, I didn't see that the hemp rope tied to the pig belonged to my family?

"You!"

"Okay, okay!" the secretary who rushed to hear the news pushed them away angrily, "You should be glad that when the wild boar came down the mountain, they were at the foot of the mountain and did not let the wild boar succeed, otherwise, not to mention that the pork has no to eat, this year's ration will be discounted." ”

The members who agreed with the secretary's words nodded one after another.

"Also, if you want to eat meat, you can take the dried vegetables and soybeans at home to exchange them with Gangzi, who can not want to exchange it for you?

As soon as these words came out, several members who really wanted to eat white food blushed and complained.

In fact, everyone knows it - they want to eat meat, but they are reluctant to exchange it for something, so they can't stop talking. There is no other reason than that.

The whole process of killing pigs, except for such a small episode, is very harmonious at other times.

After the whole pig was dissected, Xiang Gang was divided into half a fan, and several other members got half a fan together. How to divide it exactly, it will not be returned to Gangguan, let them discuss it themselves.

The pig's head and pig offal (except for the pork belly) were cooked that night as a pig-killing dish, and the members were asked to hold a few slices in a bowl, and they could eat them standing or take them home.

Mrs. Shu was running faster than anyone else at this time, and when she heard the news, she came to the door to rub some meat, but she didn't succeed, and when she saw that there were pig-killing dishes to eat, she hurriedly ran home and got a king-size foreign pot to load.

It's a pity that it is Sister-in-law Fu who is in charge, and it is Xiao Li who divides the meat, and no one knows her. If you don't know it, you should not know it, the person who has abused Yingfang, it's good to give her a piece of pork offal to eat, and you still want to put a pot?

So, Mrs. Shu took the largest pot and only got a small spoonful of pig blood clots, and she wanted to scold with a big difference. But no one takes her seriously, and she can't make trouble if she wants to. Besides, with the fierce and vicious Xiao Sanye and the unangry and arrogant Xiao Lao, who would dare to make trouble?

The pig killer who operated the knife not only got half of the pig's head meat as a hard fee, but also received two bones and three catties of pork that Xiang Gang stuffed into him, so happy that Mao Afeng's mouth grinned to the root of his ears, and even praised Xiang Gang for being a man, and stabbed Yingfang with a crutch: "Your man is so capable, no matter how many babies he gives birth to in the future, he will have something to eat." ”

After the pork was changed and the pig-killing dishes were distributed, the crowd also dispersed.

Anyway, if you want to eat meat, tonight is what you want.

Xiang Gang left enough for his own food, and the rest of the fresh meat was distributed to the people who exchanged things for it, which was nothing more than the difference between more and less.

Of course, the premise is that something is good. What bad millet, rotten beans, moldy dried vegetables, if you are embarrassed to take it out, he will not ask for it.

Sending away the last member who carried a bucket of yellow eel loach that he had only caught at night, and came to Xiang who had just exchanged five catties of plate oil that could be used to refine lard, Yingfang stretched her waist.

Jiang Xinrou persuaded: "Good girl, go to sleep quickly when you are sleepy, don't hold on." ”

"Go to sleep, I'll clean up here and I'll be with you. Xiang Gang also said. Nothing else, the pig's blood dripping on the green brick surface must be cleaned up, otherwise it will be too smelly, and it is easy to attract insects and ants.

"I'm not sleepy, didn't I sleep before dinner? Maybe it's because you're headhunting a big boar that I got some sleep. Yingfang said jokingly.

Xiang Gang couldn't help but smile: "Yes, you are the smartest." ”

Jiang Xinrou couldn't stand the eyebrows of the two of them, and ran to the stove room to watch Sister-in-law Fu cook wild boar.

So much meat is not allowed to be left overnight, and Sister-in-law Fu took the kitchen knife, gesturing back and forth, and there were words in her mouth.

The first time I saw such a fat pork, it was still bloody and quite fresh, and Sister-in-law's interest was also quite high.

Also in high spirits was the old Doctor Zhang, who was smiling and holding the wild boar belly that was given to him, plus the pair that Xiang Jiu brought from the provincial capital, he already had two pairs of wild boar belly in his hand, and he was super happy, although it was almost midnight, he was still talking to Old Man Xiao about the medicinal effects of wild boar belly with high interest. Wait for Grandma Zhang to help clean up the yard, bring the pork that Yingfang respects the second elder, and then go home together.

After some work, I waited for Xiang to just finish taking a shower and returned to the room refreshed, and when I looked at the time, it was twelve o'clock.

"Aren't you sleepy?" Seeing that his daughter-in-law was sitting under the kerosene lamp in good spirits like her master, she asked with a smile, "Can't you wait for Ming'er to get these again?"

"I'm afraid I'll forget, there are two aunts today, and they gave me two extra pairs of insoles when I changed meat, think about it or write it down, and give them some gifts before leaving. Ying Fang put down the pencil tip, closed the small red book dedicated to recording human relations, and replied with a smile, "The insoles of the aunts are really thick, I can't accept them so thick, hurry up and ask them for advice, before the cold weather, try to give you a pair." ”

"It's okay, I'm thick-skinned and rough-skinned, so I can wear whatever I want. Go slower, don't stumble. ”

Xiang Gang stepped forward to take the oil lamp, for fear that she would fall blindly in the dark, so he simply put his arm around her waist and led her to the bedside.

"Is the Golden Retriever settled?" asked Yingfang.

"Well, since it loves to stay in the firewood room, let it go, most of it is still making trouble, like an ignorant baby, fortunately it's not my son, otherwise it can make people angry. Xiang Gang smiled helplessly and shook his head.

Ying Fang raised her hand and slapped him: "You have it, if you are really a kid, maybe you are more solid than a golden retriever." ”

Then I remembered another thing: "By the way, is there enough wild boar meat at home to eat?" I was wondering, should I cut two catties for the old man who gave me lotus root seeds?"

The old man's family gave her a bag of lotus root seeds, which not only relieved her urgent need, but now also allows her to taste water chestnut, lotus root and lotus seeds. When I think about it, I always feel that I have taken advantage of them.

Now that the general environment is tight, the old man's family is wearing a black five hat, and it is conceivable how difficult it is to live in the city.

"Enough to eat. Before my sister-in-law left, she told me that after removing the plate oil, there were still 80 catties of clean meat left, and she cut 30 catties of past, and the stew pot of spiced braised pork and braised pork could be eaten tomorrow. The rest asked me if I wanted to marinate the meat. I'm hanging in the wellbore now, and I'll get up tomorrow morning. If you want to give it away, I'll cut a knife tomorrow and keep it, and if you can't finish eating the rest, we'll make it into bacon and bacon. How about cutting some of the oil for them? Didn't you say that they were not good? Meat tickets are hard to come by. ”

When Yingfang heard that there was still so much meat, she didn't bother with this problem, blew out the oil lamp, and the two hugged each other and fell asleep.

Xiang Gang is really tired today, he took the train for a long time, went up the mountain again, and hunted wild boars, so he closed his eyes and went to Zhou Gong.

Ying Fang listened to his breathing sound for a while before gradually falling asleep.

The next morning, before Yingfang opened her eyes, she heard the man talking with her parents in the yard.

It's probably how to get so much meat.

I am worried about not having meat to eat, and I am worried about having too much meat.

If only it were winter, if you bury it in the snow, you can eat it all winter.

But then again, how can you hunt such a fat wild boar in winter? Even if you are lucky, you will hit one head, most of them will be hungry and shivering down the mountain to forage for food.

"Are you up, good girl, breakfast is on the table, and it is pork and wild vegetable dumplings wrapped by Sister-in-law Fu. After she went back yesterday, she was actually busy for half the night, not only refining the lard, but also making a pot of braised pork and a pot of braised pork, and the rest was wrapped in dumplings and sent over. I asked her to go back to make up for sleep, and when she was old, why didn't she sleep all night, I couldn't bear it. ”

Yingfang nodded: "It's time to let her rest, grandpa and they won't fire today, let's steam some steamed buns, wowotou, and no matter how bad it is, it's okay to cook noodles." There is so much bone broth, and a little cabbage is a ready-made noodle soup. I'll mix a few more cold dishes, and I'll order the meal and bring it to them. ”

"I think so too, no, I'm discussing with my son-in-law, should I go to the grain station to weigh some fine noodles and come back, today and tomorrow will be okay, and two more days will not be enough to eat. The son-in-law said that he was going to the county seat, and I asked your father to go with him to see what the family needed, and just bring it back. ”

Northerners are accustomed to eating pasta, unlike the south, where they use some pasta for breakfast, most of the time it is multigrain rice, or paired with black flour steamed buns, wowotou, and snoring and drinking gruel.

The old man can't stand it. No, except for the first few meals, I ate white rice quite happily, and then I returned to my eating habits at home.

The rice noodles hoarded by the girl's family, in general, must be more rice, less millet, and less fine noodles and coarse noodles. If you can't eat a few meals, you will see the bottom of the tank. Therefore, I have long thought about taking a day to go to the grain station to buy some noodles and come back.

Ying Fang saw that they had all discussed, so she did not object.

After breakfast, Xiang Gang led his father-in-law into the county seat.

The two of them stayed at home to wash clothes, sweep the yard, and make lunch by the way.

At this time, not only near the mountain pass, but also the members of the Jiangkou Port also heard that Xiang Gang, who was a soldier, came back and took the lead in hunting a wild boar.

It's okay to have one or two, three or five or even more, and I'm afraid it's not enough to change all the meat left at home.

Yingfang and her mother glanced at each other, and simply unified their voices, and unanimously said to the outside world that they would not change it, and that everything that could be changed was changed yesterday, and the rest would be eaten by themselves.

The members of Jiangkou Port had to return in a huff.

"I said, I definitely won't change it for you, people are not related to you, why should they exchange with you? She doesn't have eggs? People not only raise chickens, but also raise two ducks, and there are duck eggs to pick up and eat every day!" Liu Jihong pursed his lips contemptuously when he saw the group of people returning to the field.

"We don't have the ability, you have the ability, you can go. He also said that he was from Haicheng! Not just planting rice barefoot like us. The woman who heard her words at the tip of her ear answered in a strange way.

Liu Jihong was so angry that he grabbed a mud ball and threw it at the other party.

"Am I from Haicheng or not, it's your business!"

"Yo roar! Educated youths are beating people! Secretary! Secretary! Come and see, the educated youths you praised, start beating people!"
