Chapter 11 The smell of meat
Yan Nian followed the dirt road of the village and walked directly to the back mountain.
I met Ni Yirou on the road and said hello: "What are you busy with?" ”
Ni Yirou heard Yan Nian's voice and looked back, "Where are you going when you're not at home?" ”
"I'll go to the back mountain to find a piece of wood, and go back and ask your father to make a pot lid." Yan Nian said with a smile.
When Yan Nian was at home yesterday, she didn't take a closer look at the carpenter's daughter, but today, when she looked closely, she felt that she was very beautiful and lovely.
Seeing that today she was wearing a white background color placket dress, and the carefully coiled flower-shaped buttons were very eye-catching. The dark cloud bun is tied on the head at will, and a small wooden hairpin is inserted on the side of the bun, and the long flowing hair is retained under the cloud bun, which is very beautiful.
Look at Yirou's face, white skin, eyes that are not big or small, the eyebrows that are carefully drawn are thin and long, the round chin, and some baby fat is still retained. On his feet, he wore a pair of light blue cloth shoes made by himself, and the upper of the shoes was embroidered with emerald green peonies.
Yan Nian's memory of the original owner knows that this Ni Yirou is a famous village flower in the village, and in order for his younger brother to go to private school, he let his younger brother go to school after a few years of private school. But just like that, it's much better than not going to private school for a day, and she also began to look down on Murakami.
Especially Yan Nian, who is still with two children, is even more ignorant.
Ni Yirou looked Yan Nian up and down, and saw that she was wearing a gray homespun gown with patches on top of each other, and a blue cloth apron around her body. On her head she wore the hair of an ordinary housewife, bare and nothing, a pair of gray open cloth shoes, patches on the toes in the front, and hanging trousers that exposed the ankles. Looking at the face again, the appearance is medium, but it is too thin, the eyes are big, and the face is dish.
Ni Yirou sneered and said, "That's it, Brother Mingyu still likes you?" After saying that, he twisted and walked home.
Yan Nian carefully found the information of Mingyu in Ni Yirou's mouth in the memory of the original owner.
Fang Mingyu is the Xiucai he met when he bought the pot yesterday, and he is the idol of the unmarried girls in the village, this Ni Yirou has a soft spot for Fang Mingyu by virtue of being the unique village flower in the village.
But since Yan Nian was rescued to the village by Sandezi, after painting Yan Nian's portrait, he has been lukewarm to himself.
Ni Yirou was very resentful of this Yan Nian, and when she saw Yan Nian like this today, she had confidence in herself.
Yan Nian shook his head, thinking that he was not uncommon, and now raising two small buns is the most important thing, and the others should stand aside.
Unconsciously, Yan Nian came to the back mountain of the village, also called Wild Boar Ridge, Yan Nian thought about quickly finding a suitable material for making a pot lid, so that he could make a house.
After looking for a long time, I didn't find a decent tree.
Suddenly, Yan Nian heard the sound of a pig crowing from far and near, and Yan Nian hurriedly climbed up with a big tree. Leaning down from the tree and looking down, I saw a small wild boar lying on the ground and screaming not far away.
According to experience, Yan Nian knew that this was a small wild boar that stepped on the hunter's clamp, and it looked like it was about thirty or forty pounds, if it was a large wild boar, it would have run away with the clamp a long time ago. Eventually, the wound will become infected and die, but you won't be able to catch it.
Yan Nian thought that if this was in modern times, such hunting was forbidden, and there was no way that he was in ancient times.
Looking around again, he didn't find any wild boars coming, so he slipped down the big tree, looking at the fat little wild boar, Yan Nian's stomach began to gurgle old intestines and old stomachs to fight.
Simply, Yan Nian pinned the saw in his apron, reached out and grabbed the little wild boar, carried it on his shoulder and walked down the mountain.
The wild boar kept screaming on Yan Nian's shoulder, which made Yan Nian's ears numb.
Liu Meina led her younger brother Liu Pengxi to play eagles and catch chickens with a group of half-grown children in a clearing in the village, and when they heard the sound of pigs, they all looked at Yan Nian who walked down the mountain.
Among them, the seven-year-old Xiaoqiang of He Ling's family ran over and shouted: "Nuo Nuoniang, where did you catch the wild boar?" ”
Yan Nian said with a smile: "I caught it in the mountains." ”
Yan Nian looked at Liu Meina who was pulling Xi'er next to her, and Liu Meina saw her little sister-in-law looking at herself, and looked away with her eyes.
Yan Nian ignored these children and hurried home.
Pushing open the gate, I saw that Ni Carpenter had built a wooden shelf in the yard and was repairing the wooden door with a planer. Seeing Yan Nian coming back, still carrying a small wild boar on his shoulder, Carpenter Ni opened his mouth wide in surprise and didn't move for a long time.
"Uncle Ni, I picked it up on the mountain, we can eat pork at noon in a while!"
Of course Carpenter Ni is happy, he has earned money and has delicious food, so why not do it?
It's just that Ni Yirou, who came over to eat with her father later, saw this little wild boar and hurriedly said to her father: "Dad, you should go home for dinner at noon, if you eat here, you have to play the role of a butcher, don't kill, my mother has a kind heart all her life, and she won't even step on an ant to death." ”
Carpenter Ni looked at his daughter and said apologetically to Yan Nian: "Yan Nian, it's not that Uncle won't help you, I'll make you the door and the pot lid, but this killing is okay." ”
Yan Nian said with a smile: "It's okay, Uncle Ni, leave this wild boar to me, you and Yirou just eat meat." ”
After speaking, Yan Nian put down the little wild boar, picked up the wooden stick beside him, and smashed it at the wild boar's head with his eyes closed.
When the stick fell, he heard a wild boar scream, Yan Nian opened his eyes and saw that the wild boar was not moving. Yan Nian said silently in his heart, wild boar, don't blame me for being ruthless, Xiaobao and I haven't eaten for a few days, so you should sacrifice for us. Yan Nian suddenly felt that he was a male lion in the animal world!
Ni Yirou next to her screamed and squatted down, covering her ears and not daring to look at Yan Nian. Carpenter Ni was even more surprised by Yan Nian's actions. I don't understand that Yan Nian is usually submissive, and he has never fought back in the face of his mother-in-law's beating and scolding, how can he behave like this today?
Yan Nian carried the little pig to the house again, boiled water in the pot, scraped the hair on the pig's body with a knife, and disemboweled.
Nuno and her sister squatted next to her and watched her mother clean up the pork. Knowing that he would be able to eat meat soon, Nuo Nuo said: "Mother, you are so bold, you can carry such a big wild boar back, Mother is really strong!" ”
Yan Nian smiled and said to the two little treasures who swallowed their saliva: "Nuo Nuo is good, lead my sister back to the house to play, and after a while, my mother will cook a piece of pork for the baby to eat." ”
"Okay, sister, let's go back to the room to play." Nono led his sister back to the house and waited.
Yan Nian put the pig's thigh in the boiling water in the pot, and there was a little coarse salt at home, grabbed it out and sprinkled it in the pot, and found two wild shallots in the yard, washed and cut them into sections and put them in the pot. Yan Nian found two more plates as pot lids and began to cook pork.
After a while, the thick smell of meat spread throughout the courtyard.
