In this way, the thrilling and anxious look finally rushed back to the cave, the wild boar was thrown to the ground by Sun Chong and the others, raising a burst of dust, the wild boar shook the fat on the belly with the force, and the three of them didn't have time to let go of the things on their bodies, so they sat on the ground tired.

Sun Liya patted her chest hard, "I'm scared to death, I'm scared to death, I'm so scared that something will run out of the middle." ”

"Me too, you see, I'm in a cold sweat." Li Yangqing raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, opened his hand and looked at it.

Sun Chong, who was sitting on the side, was calmer than the two, "I am used to staying in the mountains and forests from time to time, I am mainly afraid that this wild boar will attract other animals to chase after me, you also know that the nose of the animal is very sensitive, if there is a wild thing, this wild boar should not be forgotten, the key is that I am afraid that I will not be able to protect your safety, fortunately I came back safely all the way." ”

Li Yangqing and Sun Liya were both very moved when they heard Sun Chong's words, "Second uncle, you don't have to worry, I have a lot of strength, I have killed wolves with you, and I am much bolder than before." ”

"Uncle Chong, thank you, if I hadn't met you on this mountain, Sister Liya and I didn't know if we could go down the mountain alive, we were only concerned about running for our lives, and we really knew how terrible this place was when we arrived in this mountain forest."

"Well, the most photographable thing on the mountain is loneliness, when you look at the endless woods, there is no one of the same kind, every night is especially serious, the darkness, loneliness, fear these torments affect your emotions, what feelings are magnified, you dare not sleep, afraid that you will not see the sun tomorrow, with you here with me, someone to talk to me, I feel much better." This is probably the so-called mental torture is greater than physical torture!

"Let's hurry up tonight to deal with this wild boar, wild vegetables and mushrooms are still temporarily drying! When the sun comes out tomorrow, I will take it out to dry, and it will dry quickly, Liya, you will deal with this wild boar with me later, and Yang Qing will be responsible for cleaning up the wild vegetables. ”

"Okay." , the two replied at the same time.

"Uncle Chong, I have a suggestion, we have to walk a long way after going down the mountain, it is inconvenient to cook at any time, this pork can be made into jerky, it is convenient to eat and take at any time, there is no need to make a fire and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it can also avoid the eyes and ears of other people, after all, at this time, it is too eye-catching to see someone who can cook meat to eat, and it is not good if someone hits our idea."

"Sister Yang Qing, I think you think this method is good! So how do we do it? Sun Liya looked at Li Yangqing curiously and asked.

"Our current conditions can't be very delicious, we just need to be able to ensure that we can eat for a long time, I estimated a rough method, we first cut the pork into finger-thick strips, put it in the pot to the brine to cook, and then scoop it up and use the fire to dry a part of the water, during the day, take advantage of the big sun, put it in the sun, accelerate the loss of water, of course, such jerky will be very hard, and the taste will not be good there, but it is suitable for our current situation, what do you think?"

After listening to Li Yangqing's explanation, Chen Chong and Sun Liya imagined the whole process of making jerky in their heads, and felt that it was feasible, "Yangqing, I think it is feasible, after we dispose of the pork, we also need to go out to hunt and pick wild vegetables, in addition to our daily consumption, we can prepare more." ”

The three of them made up their minds and started to act, Sun Liya and Sun Chong took the tools to the entrance of the cave to deal with the pork, "Second uncle, this wild boar is really heavy!" I estimate that there are about 300 pounds! Li Liya bent down and grabbed the hind legs of the wild boar and checked it casually, but found that it had not been lifted yet, so she stood with her legs apart in a figure of eight, firmly stepped on the ground with the soles of her feet, and lifted her up with gritted teeth.

"This wild boar is really heavy, I think it was the rainstorm some time ago that affected the eating of this wild boar, plus it was hungry in the trap for a while, maybe it could be heavier!" For Sun Chong, who often hunts, there is little pressure on him to lift the weight of a pig together.

"Bang" The wild boar was put on a small but clean wooden board that Li Yangqing had cleaned, Li Yangqing handed the kitchen knife to Sun Chong's hand, Sun Chong tried the sharpness of the knife with his hand, and it was okay, although it was not a professional pig killing knife.

Sun Chong took the lead in cutting through the relatively weak belly of the wild boar's body, starting from the neck to cut a long line, only cutting a shallow layer of skin, it seems that a knife will be added, and then along the original traces, and finally the wild boar is divided into two.

Sun Liya stepped forward and Sun Chong grabbed the pork on one side and pulled it away on both sides, so that the wild boar could be separated more thoroughly, and the "click" bone cracking sound could be heard, and some blood began to flow out.

Now Sun Chong began to cut the internal organs with a knife, and after a few knives, he put the separated internal organs into the basket at his feet, although it looked a little cruel, no different from killing pigs in the village in the past.

Li Yangqing wrapped a large lump of grass and wood ash with leaves, ready to clean these internal organs, "Second uncle, sister Liya, I have a good way to deal with internal organs, rubbing the internal organs repeatedly with plant ashes and then cleaning them can remove the fishy smell!" We've tried it before at home, and it tastes no worse than pork. ”

"Well, we haven't heard of this, in the past, everyone was cleaned with water, and then boiled and eaten, after all, it is cheaper than meat, sometimes when you are hungry for meat, you will buy some and eat it, if it is really like what you said, then try it!" Sun Chong was also a little curious when he heard Li Yangqing's words, but thinking that Li Yangqing's family could do business with the people in the town, it was normal to know more, and the knife in his hand kept waving and continued to decompose the pork.

"Sister Yangqing, then I'll help you, it will take a long time for you to finish washing so much, and the second uncle can't help much here at this time."

"That's just right, Sister Liya." Li Yangqing taught Sun Liya how to deal with the internal organs, first using a small wooden stick to turn over the most difficult pig intestines to remove the dirt inside.

Now there is no water to clean here, you can only wait for a while to clean the puddle next to the cave, this puddle is still dug by Sun Chong, it happened to rain some time ago, the rain filled the puddle early, don't worry about going to the distance to find water and encounter danger and trouble.

"Sister Liya, now wrap the ashes of the plants and trees on these internal organs, and rub them vigorously and repeatedly." Li Yangqing explained the use of plant ash, which was very simple, the two of them lowered their heads and rubbed the plant ash hard, and after rubbing it for half an hour, the two of them let go and put the internal organs with plant ash into the wooden basin.

Li Yangqing and Sun Liya sat down on the ground in frustration, pinched each other's wrists with both hands to relax their muscles, "Let's go, Sister Yangqing, let's hurry up and wash these internal organs!" ”

Sun Liya got up and bent down to take the lead in the wooden basin and walked towards the puddle, Li Yangqing took the melon scoop that scooped water, followed out of the cave, and the two squatted on the edge of the puddle.

Li Yangqing scooped a few large ladles of water into the wooden basin, and the water in the basin immediately turned gray and black, and simply washed it, poured out the dirty water, and finally washed it several times, and the two got up again and walked towards the cave.

"You're back, I'm going to pack up this pork, maybe it's going to be dark, so you'll make dinner first!" Sun Chong saw that the two of them were back, and felt hungry, so he ordered the two to make dinner.

"Okay, second uncle, it's good to be able to eat fragrant pork tonight." Sun Liya was very happy.

"Sister Liya, you help make a fire! Let's eat stir-fried pork and pig blood soup tonight! ”

Li Yangqing took out the basket, transferred the pig offal in the wooden basin to it, poured all the pig's blood in the pot into the wooden basin, so as to free up the pot to stir-fry, poured some water into the pot to clean the pot, poured dirty water to the hole, and put the pot on the stone stove that had been burned by Sun Liya.

Li Yangqing took a piece of fat and thin pork from the pork basket that Sun Chong cut out and handed it to Chen Chong, "Uncle Chong, please use a knife to slice this piece of pork first, and I'm going to fry the pork." ”

"Okay, you wait." Sun Chong took the piece of pork and began to cut it, Li Yangqing put the cut pork in a bowl and brought it to the side of the fire, poured water into it and simply cleaned both sides, drained the water and waited for it to be fried.

Waiting for the meat to be in the hot pot, the oil and water began to "sizzle" straight out, Li Yangqing took the spoon and stir-fried, and waited until the meat turned from red to white, it should be cooked, put a large handful of purslane picked today, green vegetables with white meat, looking at it has an appetite, sprinkled a little salt in before going out of the pot and stir-fried.

"Alright, it's time to plate." Li Yangqing scooped the fried meat in the pot into the bowl, stuffed a large bowl full, and pressed it hard with a spoon to put all the dishes in the pot.

Now to make pig blood soup, Li Yangqing first put a piece of fat meat in the pot to boil oil, and when the meat became fried, he leaned back and carefully added a scoop of water into it, so as not to be burned, picked up the wooden basin and poured more than half of the pig's blood into it, stirred it with a spoon, and put some salt in it, I don't know if it tastes good or not, the conditions are limited, so be it! As long as it's cooked.

In this way, in the busyness of Li Yangqing and Sun Chong's cooking and Sun Chong's meat, it was completely dark, "Uncle Chong, you can rest!" We'll help you get it later, so let's eat first! ”

"Okay, Yangqing, I've already smelled the fragrance, I'm just waiting for you to call for dinner." Today, because of the harvest of such a large wild boar, there is no need to worry about eating in the future, and I can clearly feel that Sun Chong's voice is more relaxed and cheerful than before.

There was no extra bowl, Li Yangqing could only divide the pork in the bowl into three portions and put them on the clean leaves, more than two portions were for Sun Chong and Sun Liya, and the less part was kept for himself, and the vacated bowl poured a large bowl full of pig blood soup and brought it to Sun Chong on the side, and the three of them gathered around the fire and began to eat a late dinner.

The two uncles and nephews first stretched out their chopsticks into the fried pork, sandwiched a piece of pork and put it in their mouths, Sun Liya couldn't speak, and kept giving a thumbs up to Li Yangqing with one free hand.

Sun Chong praised it loudly: "This stir-fried pork with wild vegetables is more delicious, the oil and water are all in the wild vegetables, and it is much better than the boiled wild vegetables at home in the past. ”

Sun Liya kept nodding on the side, the chopsticks in her hand were slippery, and she kept putting vegetables into her mouth, and she ate a mouthful of vegetables and soup in turn.

Li Yangqing hasn't eaten green vegetables for a long time, she prefers to eat vegetables than her uncle and nephew who love meat, and the green vegetable leaves are fried in oil and water with a bright color under the light of the fire, which makes people's appetite move so much, but because the taste is so good, they are all eaten cleanly, and only after eating do they feel a little regret, and their stomachs are too supportive.
