Chapter 30: Wild Boar Cubs and Everyday Life
“……”
Looking at the wild boar cub who was humming and screaming in Yuan's arms, Li's face turned red and he didn't say anything for a long time.
"Mother, look, this is the piglet I caught in the mountains, it's too small, and the meat is still small, or put it at home and raise it, and you can eat a few more bites of pork when you grow up."
At least you don't have to spend money, and you can add a meat dish to your home.
Yuan also thought like this, so he would do everything he could to carry the piglet back from the mountains and forests.
Li Shi looked at the black and non-slippery autumn in Yuan's arms, with two millet teeth on the side of his mouth, and the white and tender body of the domestic pig was not a breed of wild boar cub at all, and hesitated, "This pig cub, can you really raise it?" ”
The wild boars in the mountains are not as good as the domestic pigs, the domestic pigs are docile, and the wild boars are wild and difficult to train.
For Li's worries, Yuan didn't care about it at all, she held the pig cub in one hand, and waved her hand arrogantly, "Mother, don't worry, with me, I guarantee that nothing will happen, you just wait to kill the pig and eat meat." ”
Lee's ......
Yuan's overly happy attitude made Li speechless for a long time.
However, she thought about it again, and said in her heart that she didn't blame Yuan for being so confident, at least they were indeed from a family school.
With Yuan's daughter-in-law, who was born in Orion, what she is worried about should not be a big problem.
Li Shi figured it out, waved his big hand, and directly arranged the piglet in Yuan's arms clearly, "Okay, then keep it." ”
"There are two pigs in the pigsty at home, and the place is very spacious, so it's just right to raise one more."
"But," Li's eyes rolled around, and finally put it on the piglet in Yuan's arms, "How old is this piglet, it doesn't have the pickled stuff, so it can't be raised." ”
At this time, they already knew that if the domestic pigs wanted to grow well and grow strong, they had to gelding when the piglets were less than a month old.
At first, the news that geldings would pickle and save up stuff to make pigs grow well came from the south.
At first, no one believed it, but then the news spread more and more, and more and more people tried it, and they also knew the benefits of pig castration.
Right now, they have these two castrated pigs at home.
Yuan heard Li mention the topic of castration of piglets, and he couldn't sit still at the moment.
She slapped her thigh, oops, and her tone was a little anxious, "Although this wild boar cub is not older than a domestic pig, it is almost full-term now, if you really want to pickle things, I'm afraid you won't be able to live, this, what can I do?" ”
Castrating a piglet doesn't mean just going to go.
There's something special about that.
Piglets who don't intend to be kept as breeding pigs must be castrated.
Considering that after all, it is necessary to use the knife on the piglets, the piglets are too small to resist, and the piglets are too large and easy to be infected, so the piglets raised at home are generally castrated around seven to ten days after birth.
Of course, if the piglets grow slowly and are not tall enough, they can also drag on for a few days, almost fifteen days.
But the wild boar cub she was holding in her arms was obviously full-term, and it had almost grown up.
If it is not castrated, it means that the wild boar cubs will not grow up, and the meat will not be delicious, and it will not be sold at a high price.
What can I do?
Thinking of this stubble, Yuan was anxious.
Holding the wild boar cubs, he looked at Li vigorously.
Although Yuan didn't speak, the energy she had all over her body made Li uncomfortable.
Li snorted directly.
The heart is disgusted, but in the end, it is the old man who has experienced strong winds and waves, and soon, she stabilized the situation, "What is the panic, what does it matter if it is less than a month, this wild boar cub is just for nothing, and the gelding can't pick up the stuff, so keep it like this, no matter how big it is, it is our family that earns it, I'm afraid!" ”
Unlike the two domestic pigs in the family, this wild boar cub is obtained for nothing, and when the time comes, it will only eat the same as the domestic pigs, which are pitcher plants cut back from the mountains or rivers.
The pitcher plant thing, all over the mountains and fields, is a long area, but it is just a matter of taking more time and cutting more.
In this way, the wild boar cubs are not at a loss.
"It's true," Yuan held the wild boar cub and followed Hehe's Le, "Mother, you are still the smartest in the family, you are right." ”
Li Shi glanced at him angrily, and he didn't bother to pay attention to Yuan's two stunned people.
"What are you waiting for? Throw the wild boar cubs into the pigsty earlier, and you should hurry back to the house to rest, and then hurry out to help, because lunch is not ready at home. ”
Li didn't like to ink with Yuan, so after saying this, he turned around and left.
The footsteps followed closely and the figure disappeared.
Leaving the Yuan family alone with the piglets in place.
Yuan's ......
She still has a pheasant here that is dead and needs to be dealt with, why is she leaving?
When Yuan came out, the piglet in his hand was gone, and only a bald pheasant with his neck twisted was left in his hand.
Seeing that Li was squatting by the well to wash things, Yuan's eyes turned and hurried over.
"Mother, this pheasant, I'll clean it up in a while, let's eat it tonight."
Li Shi glanced at her, "Okay, you clean it up, stew half and burn half tonight." ”
Although this pheasant looks quite old, it is estimated that the meat is also firewood, but it is a meat fish.
The summer harvest is coming soon, and it's not bad to make up for the men in the family.
"Eh, mother, you can wait."
After getting the letter, Yuan Shile couldn't do it, so he carried a wooden bucket and fetched a bucket of water, and rushed into the kitchen with a roar.
If you want to pluck the pheasant and pluck it clean, you have to scald it with hot water.
Yuan was born in Orion, and he knows a lot about such methods of dealing with wild animals.
Knowing that there is a dense layer of fluff under the thick layer of chicken feathers of the pheasant, ordinary methods must not be clean.
In order to eat more comfortably, Yuan didn't go back to rest, but ran straight out of the kitchen to clean up the pheasant.
By the time the Yuan side had processed the pheasant, the Li side had already processed all the ingredients for the fish soup that would be made at noon.
"Okay, leave the rest to me, second daughter-in-law, go to the river to see your man and them, it's time to eat, don't delay on the road."
Li came to the kitchen briskly, reached out to take the half-chopped chicken on the board, and arranged a new task for Yuan by the way.
The kitchen knife in his hand was handed out, and Yuan wiped his hands with the apron around his waist.
"Eh, mother, I know."
"Go early and come back early."
“……”
Yuan simply packed up and went out directly.
Walking straight along the avenue in front of my house, I also met many people from the village along the way.
Yuan waved his hand, said hello, and said hello with a smile.
I almost walked to the entrance of the village before I saw Zhao Shanchuan.
Seeing that his master was carrying two large buckets full of fish, Yuan quickly ran forward two steps and reached out to take one of the buckets.
As soon as Zhao Shanchuan looked up, he saw his daughter-in-law's beautiful big face plate, and grinned happily, "Xinghua, why are you here?" ”
"It's not because you didn't come back, I'm worried that you're stunned and tired."
Yuan Shi carried the wooden barrel in his hand and glanced at Zhao Shanchuan angrily.
At the same time, Yuan was glad in his heart, fortunately she came.
Good guy, this barrel is really heavy, at least a few dozen catties.
From the river to home, the road is a few miles.
The man didn't have any tools, so he watched as he walked back with the barrel in both hands.
Don't tire people out!
As soon as he thought of this, Yuan felt distressed, and at the same time, he was angry that his man was too simple, what he was doing was tiring him, and he didn't know how to be lazy.
It's not just your own men who go down to the river to catch fish, the big uncle and the little uncle are all there, what do you do only your own man!
"Zhao Shanchuan, are you going to be angry with me, are you stupid?"
"I don't know if I'm lazy, look at the eldest brother and the third brother, they are all catching fish in the river and doing light work."
"You're looking at you, stupidly carrying a barrel, doing this thankless task."
Yuan's eyes were red, and the water vapor inside was overflowing vigorously.
She lowered her voice, gritted her teeth and disciplined Zhao Shanchuan on the side, her tone trembled slightly, obviously she was angry.
My own man hurts at home.
Seeing Zhao Shanchuan being bullied like this, it is strange that Yuan's temper can be good.
"Oh, Xinghua, don't be angry, it's really not the fault of the eldest brother, it's me, it's me who doesn't want to catch fish, so I took the handle."
Zhao Shanchuan couldn't see Yuan's behavior the most, and when he saw Yuan's anger, he quickly put down the barrel in his hand, and waved his hand with a panicked expression to explain to Yuan.
"Really, really, Xinghua, do you believe me, I didn't suffer, I shipped it twice in total, this is the second time."
Of course, the whole morning, the number of shipments back was only twice.
"The eldest brother and the third brother both helped, and they carried it when they came out of the river."
Of course, only this section of the river, Zhao Shanlin had the heart to help, but was stopped by the Liu family, Zhao Shanhe had to take care of the Cheng family, who was pregnant with the child, and in the end, it could only be Zhao Shanchuan who made the effort to bring it back.
"Xinghua, Xinghua, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, don't be angry...... Either you hit me twice and get angry. ”
Zhao Shanchuan was anxious to turn around, and he said everything.
Yuan Shi wiped his eyes twice, holding his breath in his heart, "Hit you?" ”
At that time, it was not her who was distressed.
"Okay, forget it this time, I'll help you carry it back first."
Yuan Shi hoarsely muttered.
Now that she saw it, she couldn't let Zhao Shanchuan carry it back alone.
Thinking about the purpose of Li Shi letting her out, Xin said that he would notify his family to come back for dinner, and he was not in a hurry at this time.
It's not bad to let the eldest brother and the third brother catch a few more fish by the river.
"This, this...... Not so good. ”
Zhao Shanchuan swallowed and vomited, and stopped talking.
"What's wrong, hurry up, go home and rest."
Yuan Shi rolled his eyes and patted Zhao Shanchuan's arm unceremoniously.
Anyway, the rest of the people have nothing to do with her, her own man will have a summer harvest in two days, and now she is tired, what should she do then?
Zhao Shanchuan couldn't resist the Yuan family, and seeing that the Yuan family was so strong, he could only pick up the barrel and follow home.
Yuan Shi directly sent the person to the door of the house before putting down the barrel, "Okay, you go in, I'll call the eldest brother and them, it's time for lunch." ”
Yuan didn't forget his purpose, and after finishing the work at hand, he planned to call people.
Before leaving, she didn't forget to warn Zhao Shanchuan twice, "By the way, you go back, don't talk nonsense, hurry back to the house to rest." ”
Zhao Shanchuan......
