Chapter 26: Pig's Blood Soup
Li Cheng held a torch, tied with some tender branches and leaves, the choking smell of smoke even the people around him unconsciously wept and wept, this was completely smoked, although Li Cheng was covered with a cloth, but it was still difficult to block the invasion of smoke, especially the eyes, almost couldn't open, down a cave that could only accommodate an adult to climb into the figure, Li Cheng smoked the torch inside, the back road of the wild boar has been sealed by the Eskimos, so if there is a wild boar inside, then it will definitely be unbearable, so it will be forced out, the wild boar without the shelter of the cave has become a turtle in the urn.
Of course, as the main hunter, Li Cheng has to face the impact of wild boars! Anyway, Li Cheng has seen the world, and he won't end up fighting with a grizzly bear, so isn't it easy to deal with wild boars? Although there were many objective factors in the last kill of the grizzly bear, such as the sudden attack of the searchlight, which made the grizzly bear temporarily dizzy, and Li Cheng in the home field, the obvious advantage, the sharpness of the Damascus saber and other reasons, which made Li Cheng able to make meritorious contributions.
Longwei LV1 also has a certain role in dealing with beasts, at least it can give Li Cheng extraordinary courage and do something unimaginable to ordinary people.
The smoke smoked the wild boar cave for a while, and Li Cheng, who was standing under the pit, suddenly heard movement, which seemed to be the humming sound of a pig, from far to near, becoming clearer and clearer.
Li Cheng shouted: "The wild boar is ready to come out, Noah, you let them prepare to trap the wild boar!" ”
"No problem!" Noah arranged for several strong Eskimos to hold lassoes in their hands, ready to support Li Cheng at any time, and several Eskimos above the pit also brought a large stone, presumably planning to wait for the wild boar to escape and seal the entrance to its cave, so that it could not go to the sky and the ground......
Everything went according to the plan in advance, the Eskimos had rich experience in hunting wild boars, and there were so many people around to escort Li Cheng's safety, Noah didn't want his newly crowned grizzly warrior to fail like this, then Noah's reputation in the tribe would also be affected, not to mention that Noah already felt ashamed of Li Cheng.
Li Chengyi threw away the torch, took the rope handed to him above, and after a while, the wild boar rushed out.
It is seen that it has a strong body, with stubby limbs, a long head, small ears and erect, a protruding snout like a cone, and its tip is a bare cartilage pad (that is, an arched nose); Each foot has 4 toes, and the hooves are stiff, and only the middle 2 toes touch the ground; tail is thin and short; The canine teeth are well developed, the upper canine teeth are exposed, and the xiangshang is turned upside down, and it is fang-shaped; The ears of wild boars are covered with stiff and sparse needle hairs, and the dorsal mane is long and stiff; The whole body color is tan.
"It's dangerous......" Li Cheng was pulled out of the pit, the surrounding hunters sealed the entrance to the hole, and the wild boar was trapped in the pit about five or six meters high, crashing around, the momentum was amazing, and the dust was flying all over the sky.
After coming up, Li Cheng said to Noah: "Do you want to wait for the wild boar to get tired?" ”
"Yes, this wild boar is too big, rashly go to the trap, it is likely to be broken free by it, I am also the first time to see such a big wild boar, fortunately we have reserved a relatively large space and depth." Noah looked happy, this wild boar is enough for everyone to eat today, there are four villages in the rattlesnake tribe, three are guarding the main village around, the number of people living in each village is about 200, and the main tribe has more than 400, that is, the village where Li Cheng and others are currently located.
Li Cheng roughly estimated the weight of this wild boar, and said: "At least 400 pounds, this time it is a blessing...... "Wild boar is tender and mellow, rich in game, and has a high lean meat rate, and has medicinal value, it is a rare delicacy, and it is such a big one, 400 pounds is almost 362 pounds, it is not easy for domestic pigs to raise such a big one, let alone a wild boar deep in the mountains?
It's no wonder that Noah, who has lived for so long, rarely sees such a big wild boar, generally speaking, the wild boar is about a hundred catties, this wild boar is extremely aggressive, if it is not for the area where it is restrained, it is estimated that it is more difficult for more than ten people to take it down.
After waiting for a while, the wild boar was quite clever in excavating it, and knew that it was trapped, so after a fruitless collision, they immediately changed their strategy and used arched nose and fangs as shovels to dig a passage in an attempt to escape from the human roundup.
Not to mention that the boar's ability to burrow is not inferior to that of mice! The ability to dig passages is not slow, if Li Cheng and the others don't act again, maybe this large weight wild boar will escape with the "earth escape technique".
"Noah, let's act, there will be no chance if you wait any longer." Li Cheng suggested, a little anxious in his tone, after all, this is a matter of whether there is wild boar to eat at night! There is no such opportunity to eat wild meat often in China, and wild boars are protected by the national second-class in China! Where do ordinary people dare to eat, except, of course, some people.
Noah also understood that now was not the time to hesitate, otherwise all the hard work of the day would be in vain, and immediately issued an order for the Eskimos to attack immediately!
The Eskimo hunters standing in the pit skillfully tied the boar's body with a lasso, and the boar, which was still arching the earth, was restricted from moving, and could not help but be furious, wrestling with several Eskimos on the pit.
A crisp "pop" sound came, Li Chengding looked at it, it turned out that the hemp rope was broken, and five or six thumb-sized hemp ropes could not restrain this 400-pound fat pig, and its liliang size could be imagined, and it was still against so many strong Eskimos.
"No, it's unlikely that I'll be captured alive, I'll do it myself, boss, borrow your saber and use it." Noah took off his shirt, revealing steel-like muscles, Li Cheng looked envious, thinking about his chicken steak figure, if it weren't for Long Wei's golden finger in his hand, let alone the grizzly bear, he would have to walk around when he saw the bear......
Of course, grizzly bears are as powerful as dogs and bears (black bears), there is no difference, if you want to say the difference, it's just that the name is different.
Li Cheng took out the rattlesnake Damascus saber and handed it to Noah, only to see him greet in the indigenous language, the Eskimo on the pit looked clear, changed to a thicker hemp rope, and put on the wild boar again, probably too much strength, the wild boar was a little paralyzed, Noah saw the opportunity, jumped down, held the Damascus saber, and stabbed the wild boar in the throat.
A terrible pig killing cry can be heard by almost everyone in a radius of 100 miles, Li Cheng, who was standing nearby, almost had his eardrum burst, producing symptoms of temporary deafness, Li Cheng did not hesitate, picked up a basin, jumped up, and then the blood of the wild boar.
Pig's blood is a good thing, and it can't be wasted......
Generally, when killing pigs in his hometown, in order to increase the taste of pig blood and shorten the coagulation time, salt water will be added, at this time Li Cheng didn't think so much, and rushed down directly, which made Noah a little strange.
The blood of the wild boar had been completely drained, and it was filled with a basin, and the wild boar also completely stopped struggling, and handed over the pig's blood, and Noah was covered in dust, wiped the Damascus saber, and returned it to Li Cheng again, and then the warriors of the tribe tied up the big fat pig and carried it back to the tribe.
Li Cheng and Noah, who were walking in front, returned with a full load, and the Eskimos sang a song of triumph! Li Cheng couldn't understand it anyway, probably listening to Noah's translation of ballads similar to those of ethnic minorities in mountainous areas in China.
At this time, Noah, who had recovered a lot of physical strength, asked, "Boss, why are you going to pick up the pig's blood?" Are you a vampire? ”
Today's Eskimos are no longer popular to eat raw meat, tens of thousands of years ago, the Eskimos crossed the Bering Strait, came to the Americas, in the era of the Ice Age, had to eat raw meat, so with the name of "Eskimos", translated to nothing more than people who eat raw meat.
If you just drink blood, that's what only savages do, right? When they hunted, they did not deliberately collect blood.
Li Cheng explained: "Pig blood is a good thing, Noah, you don't know, in China, some people specialize in killing pigs, just to eat pig blood, meat, they are tired of eating, pig blood is not often available, you have to go to the vegetable market as soon as possible to grab it!" ”
The topic of pig blood and beauty, after the promotion of some TV programs has become a household name, pig blood with high iron ion content is extremely important for women, often eat pig blood can face like peach blossoms, light body.
It is loved by the majority of women, but there are quite a lot of men who love this bite, after all, this kind of ingredient can be used in many dishes, such as fried pork blood with leeks, fried blood tofu, pork blood blanched rice noodles and so on.
"Oh, well, I'm going to try it." Noah admired Li Cheng's cooking skills, and last time Li Cheng opened a small stove and fried a chopped pepper fish head for him, at this moment, Noah's tongue was on fire......
Limited to the lack of local ingredients, Li Cheng chose to make a simple home-cooked pig blood soup with pig blood, that is, cut it into pieces with coagulated haode pig blood, then boil it with boiling water, and then supplement it with green onions, ginger, and garlic to press, cook it for a while, and a pot of delicious pig blood soup is ready.
It was already night when he returned to the tribal territory, the old Peake rested for a while, his body was much better, he put on a shirt and walked over, he was dumbfounded when he saw this jiashi, the 400-pound wild boar was particularly eye-catching, the men, women and children of the tribe were cheering, celebrating for the warriors of the hunt, while the women of the tribe were dealing with the wild boar, Li Cheng hid in the corner alone, fiddling with his pig blood soup.
Old Peake came over to help, and he didn't know what Li Cheng was doing, so he asked: "Hey, boss, why don't you deal with the wild boar, I'm still waiting for your Chinese food, what is this pot of pig blood used for?" You don't want to drink blood, do you? ”
"Old Peake, I'm just cooking authentic Chinese food, pig blood soup! If you drink it, you will be ten years younger! Li Cheng jokingly said, using the Damascus saber to cut the coagulated pig's blood in the basin into squares, then put it on a plate, boiled it with boiling water in the stove, and then everything was in full swing, and old Peake, a cowboy who was usually omnipotent, could only stare dryly.
After a while, Li Cheng made a pot of pig blood soup with a large pot of pig blood, called Noah, and said: "You let the old people and children of the tribe come and taste the pig blood soup I made. ”
"Yes, that fat pig is big enough, it will take a long time for a group of people to deal with it......" Noah smelled the fragrance of pig blood, his index finger moved, as the leader, he took a bowl of it, gave a thumbs up, and praised: "Great! It's the most delicious blood I've ever drunk...... No, it's pig blood soup! ”
Noah was excited for a moment and said the wrong thing, and people who didn't understand thought that Noah often drank blood.
