Chapter 68: Killing Pigs
When Zhao Yan and Cao Ying heard that Princess Shoukang was back, they were both stunned, and when they counted the time, Princess Shoukang had just left for less than an hour, why did she come back so soon?
At that moment, Zhao Yan and Cao Ying hurriedly walked out of the living room, but as soon as they walked to the front yard, they saw Princess Shoukang walking in proudly, not only did she have her own guards behind her, but Lin Hu, the guards of the county prince's mansion, were also there, but in comparison, Lin Hu's guards were unbearable, not only their clothes were broken, but their bodies were also marked with blood, among which Lin Hu, the leader of the guards, was injured in the leg and was carried back by the two guards.
"Third brother, if I hadn't gone out, all of your waste guards would have been folded in the mountains, and the wild boars would have been brought by me!" Princess Shoukang walked in front of Zhao Yan like a proud little hen, and then turned around and pointed behind her, only to see her guards split to both sides, revealing two huge wild boars carried by several people, it seems that each head has to be about two hundred catties, and two huge teeth poking out of their mouths, which look extremely vicious, but now these two wild boars are scarred all over their bodies, and the corners of their mouths are constantly dripping blood, and they look dead for a long time.
"The king of the county, the villain is incompetent, if the princess hadn't arrived in time, the villain's life would have been thrown into the mountains!" Lin Hu also reported with a bitter face at this time, just looking at his appearance, it seemed that he didn't say these words very sincerely.
"Well, just remember this lesson, go down and recuperate!" Zhao Yan also saw that Lin Hu was a little insincere, but he didn't want to ask in detail here, so he could only deliberately tighten his face and say.
"Yes!" Lin Hu seemed to be very aggrieved and agreed, and then let the two of them carry him down, and at this time, Princess Shoukang had already pulled Cao Ying and was telling how she used her divine shot to kill two wild boars after entering the mountain, but the guards under her heard the princess's boastful words, and their faces showed embarrassment.
Taking this opportunity, Zhao Yan found Old Suma from the crowd, and then asked them about their entry into the mountain, but Old Suma scolded Lin Hu at this time: "King of the County, if it weren't for Lin Hu's idiot, we should have beaten two wild boars yesterday and came back, where can the princess pick up the cheap?" ”
Zhao Yan heard Lao Suma's words even more strangely, and immediately asked again: "What the hell is going on, I looked at Lin Hu just now and seemed to be quite aggrieved?" ”
I saw that old Suma sighed when he heard this, and then told the story of the incident. It turned out that after they entered the mountain three days ago, it took a day to find the traces of two wild boars, and then the next day, they drove the two wild boars to a Jedi, according to Old Suma's opinion, they should first set a trap to prevent the wild boars from escaping, but Lin Hu thought that with the strength of his guards, it was not a problem to deal with two wild boars.
It was Lin Hu who blindly believed in his own strength and did not listen to the advice of the old Suma at all, leaving only a few guards to guard the only way for the wild boar to escape, and the rest of the people followed him into hunt the wild boar, but he had never hunted and he didn't know the power of the wild boar at all, and at the beginning he was knocked over by the larger wild boar because he was too careless, and the remaining guards were also injured by different degrees of severity because of his carelessness.
Seeing that the wild boar was so ferocious, the rest of the guards were taken aback, plus some of the guards were injured, and there was a gap in the encirclement, and the result was rushed out by two wild boars at once, fortunately, the old Suma was experienced, leaving a small number of people to take care of the injured people, and the rest of the people all followed him to track the wild boar, otherwise the two frightened wild boars escaped, and it would be very difficult to find them.
Thanks to the temporary command of the old Suma, at night, they finally drove the wild boar into a valley, and the two ways out of the valley were arranged by the old Suma, for the sake of insurance, the old Suma did not dare to enter the valley in the dark night, but waited until dawn, then entered the valley to search, and found two wild boars, then sent someone to slowly surround the two wild boars, and spent the morning digging a trap, waiting to drive the two wild boars into the trap.
Lin Hu suffered a loss when he encountered a wild boar for the first time yesterday, and he also understood that he was a little too reckless, so he always obeyed the command of old Suma, but he always held his breath in his heart, in vain he was also a fierce general in the army before, but he was knocked to the ground by a wild boar, and he also injured several brothers, which made him unable to swallow this breath no matter what.
It was also Lin Hu's thoughts, so after he saw that the wild boars were forced into a trap by them, and it was impossible to escape, he did not obey the command of the old Suma again, but rushed in with a big gun, it seemed that he wanted to fight the two wild boars alone, and only in this way could he untie the stuffiness in his chest.
When encountering Lin Hu's lifeless two hundred and five, Lao Suma was also angry and scolded his mother, but he had no choice but to let the guards guard his position, and he must not let the wild boar escape again. Speaking of which, although Lin Hu was reckless, his martial arts were indeed very good, and one person stabbed two wild boars one after another with a gun.
If it were replaced by other animals, I am afraid that it would have fallen to the ground and died, but the wild boar has a characteristic, that is, the skin is rough and the meat is thick, and even the tiger is unwilling to provoke them in the mountains and forests, so it can be seen that the wild boar is powerful, so Lin Hu tried his best, although the wild boar was injured all over the body, but the two wild boars were still fierce, and finally he himself was careless, and was actually picked open by a wild boar by picking his teeth on the thigh, and his situation was even worse.
Seeing that Lin Hu was in critical condition, Old Suma scolded secretly, and just wanted to send someone up to rescue Lin Hu, but at this time, Princess Shoukang finally led people to kill like a god, and then under a burst of random arrows, the two wild boars that were already injured were shot to death.
Zhao Yan listened to what happened, and then he understood why Lin Hu had a wronged expression just now, thinking about it, people desperately beat the two wild boars into serious injuries, but as soon as Princess Shoukang arrived, he immediately grabbed the credit, which is as bad as robbing monsters when playing games in later generations, but Princess Shoukang is a woman, and she is his sister, he can't care about this kind of thing, as for Lin Hu, he can only swallow this loss, who made him so reckless, if he listens to the words of old Suma, I'm afraid he can eat wild boar meat yesterday, which can be regarded as a lesson for Lin Hu.
Princess Shoukang pulled Cao Ying to boast about her feat of killing the wild boar, and then the two began to discuss which family's female relatives should be invited to the banquet, and there were some details of the banquet, which needed to be agreed upon by the two hostesses, and finally the two simply left Zhao Yan and went directly to the living room to discuss things.
Both wild boars are already dead, and the experienced old Suma has already released their blood when the wild boar has just died, so as not to coagulate in the blood vessels and affect the taste of the wild boar, but even so, the wild boar must be divided as much as possible, otherwise it will soon spoil in the current hot weather.
The cook in charge of the big kitchen of the palace immediately came with people, and a group of cut pork, the best meat had to be sent to the ice cellar for storage, and then used at the banquet, as for the not very good parts, they were washed and thrown directly into the cauldron to cook, and then rewarded to the people of the palace to taste, especially those guards who went into the mountains to hunt, everyone made great efforts, Zhao Yan not only rewarded money, but also rewarded wine, just waiting for the meat to be cooked and rewarded them.
Seeing that the pork in the cauldron had been boiled white, the cook also threw all kinds of spices into the pot, and there was a smell of meat wafting in the entire courtyard, and this cook knew that he was an expert at a glance, and the internal organs of the wild boar were not thrown away, and the pig heart, pork liver and pork kidneys left behind, and the large intestine was also washed several times, and they were all thrown into the pot to cook together, and even Zhao Yan was reluctant to leave when he smelled the fragrance.
As soon as the pork was cooked, the cook immediately put a few pieces of meat in a large bowl, and then flattered Zhao Yan to send it over, after all, the king of the county is here, if he doesn't eat it, others won't dare to say it. However, when Zhao Yan saw the meat sent by the cook, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, because all the meat sent by the other party was fat, and he couldn't even see a single shredded lean meat. However, this is also in line with the thinking of the ancients, ancient fats are very rare, so the fat on the animal is the fattest part in the eyes of the ancients, and it is generally given to the highest status of the person to taste.
Zhao Yan took the fat meat sent by the cook, and saw that he really had no appetite, and it happened that Old Suma was by his side, so he stuffed it directly into his hand and said: "Old Suma, you have worked hard this time, this meat will be rewarded to you, you must eat it!" ”
Old Suma was stunned for a moment, and then said with great emotion: "King of the county, this ...... How does this work? ”
"If you want to eat, you will eat, what are you polite?" Zhao Yan said, personally came to the pot and picked up the bowl, and picked two big bones with meat for himself, which was the most suitable for his appetite.
As soon as Zhao Yan gnawed the bones and left the pot, those guards who couldn't wait immediately rushed up to scramble, and at this time, Lin Hu, who had just gone to bandage his wounds, also came with crutches, and saw that he had already started eating, and immediately limped and shouted: "You bunch of rabbit cubs, give me a slow snatch, and leave the large intestine and waist to me!" ”
"Lin Tou, you have to eat two more waists to make up for it, otherwise you will be soft in front of Sister-in-law Lin, and then you will be kicked out of bed by Sister-in-law Lin!" One of the guards shouted loudly, the guards were all military men, and they usually made some vulgar jokes, so as soon as this military man's words came out, the other guards immediately burst into laughter.
"Phew, Lao Tzu's waist is good, it's no problem to come four or five times a night, it's much stronger than you cucumber eggs!" Lin Hu also scolded with a smile, and at the same time grabbed a spoon and fished out a large intestine and a kidney for himself, and it was not too hot, so he squatted directly by the pot and ate it.
Looking at the guards and servants who were eating meat all over the yard, Zhao Yan suddenly thought that when he was teaching, the scene of eating pig-killing rice in the village for the New Year was almost not much different from what he was looking at, except for his students who were running around, but I don't know how those children are now?
Thinking of his students, Zhao Yan thought of the skinny children in Shangshui Village, which made his heart move, and he immediately ordered the cook loudly: "Divide out some of the remaining meat, and send it to the king in the Zhuangzi later!" ”
