Chapter 57: Meat to Eat
Su Anying went to feed the dogs, and Xu Shiyan peeled the skin and deboned the pork, chopped up a large piece and put it away.
A 2560-pound sow, went to unload, etc., and there were nearly 200 catties left.
Autumn is the time for wild boars to scratch fat, walnuts, butls, hazelnuts, soft dates, etc. in the mountains, eating ditches full of trenches, can you save a belly fat for the winter?
It's good now, it's all down to Xu Shiyan here.
Xu Shiyan cut off all the sacs under the pig's belly and piled up a porcelain basin.
Nowadays, people love fat the most, and these are good things.
"Daughter-in-law, you will cut out these sacs and fat meat in a while."
Xu Shiyan had just finished dividing the meat here, and Su Anying had also come back after feeding the dog, Xu Shiyan pointed to the fat meat in the basin and said.
"Waist strip and back pick, let's keep a copy on the mountain, and wait for the second brother or the fifth brother to go up the mountain to work, and let them bring it back to the family."
Xu Shiyan said as he put all the meat in a basin and put it in a cool place.
With so much meat, how can they eat it all?
At this time, the snow has not fallen, and although the temperature is quite low, the meat cannot be preserved for long.
Now there are still many months before the New Year to kill pigs, who is not uncomfortable?
Wild boar is also meat, since you have met it, you can't enjoy it exclusively, and you will always give some to your family.
Xu Shiyan arranges it, Su Anying doesn't care.
If you get good things, you should honor the elderly, this is your duty.
No matter how unreasonable Xu Chenghou is, it is also an elder, and the two of them have to do what they should do.
So, Su Anying took the knife and began to cut the meat quickly, cutting the fat into generally large pieces.
After cutting, make a fire at the bottom of the pot, add half a scoop of water to the pot, then pour the fat into the pot and add a little salt.
As the temperature of the bottom of the pot rises, the fat in the pot is also cooked.
When the water in the pot has almost evaporated, no more firewood is added to the bottom of the pot, so it is slowly boiled over low heat.
The original fat gradually turned golden brown, and a layer of clear oil at the bottom of the pot also emitted a burnt fragrance, which caused people to sniffle.
Su Anying used a spoon to push the fat all around, and then scooped out the oil one by one.
The fat around him continued to produce oil, and it made a sizzling sound, which sounded very pleasant.
Locally, the residue of tubular oil or fat after refining oil is called oil zila, because this thing makes this sound during the refining process.
As the oil continues to precipitate, the oil becomes smaller and smaller, and finally becomes crispy and burnt.
Su Anying took the shovel and squeezed the oil zila hard, making sure that the oil content was almost controlled, and then quickly put the oil zila into a small basin.
After all, it is a wild boar, and it can't be compared with domestic pigs, and the fat of this wild boar finally refined a small jar of oil, and a small pot of oil.
The pot that has been refined with oil is bright, and Su Anying is reluctant to brush the pot directly.
So I quickly peeled some potatoes, cut a few slices of meat, stewed a pot, and pasted cakes on the side of the pot.
When I was done, it was almost seven o'clock.
Before the two of them had eaten, they heard a commotion outside. Needless to say, it must have been a person who came up the hill for work.
"Third brother, third brother, why haven't you left the house yet? It can't be that you are still sleeping with your daughter-in-law in your arms, right? ”
How can young people have so many taboos? A few young men who got along well with Xu Shiyan came to the small room with things to talk and laugh.
Xu Shiyan pushed the door out, "Shut up for me, don't talk nonsense, your sister-in-law is thin-skinned and annoys her, beware of not giving you a hot meal at noon." ”
As soon as the door was opened, the aroma in the kitchen wafted straight out, and Yang Chunming and Zhao Jianshe snorted twice.
"Third brother, what are you two cooking? How do I smell meaty?
Oh, you two have a good life, and you still have meat to eat in the mountains. ”
Zhao Jianshe was a little younger, and his temperament was out of his mind and he liked to joke, so he asked loudly.
Xu Shiyan glared at Zhao Jianjian, "Your big voice, isn't it uncomfortable not to shout?" ”
They are all excellent brothers, and they don't need to worry too much about talking.
"Last night, a wild boar came across my ground gun, and it happened to hit me in the eye."
When I dragged the boar this morning, I found that the boar had been blinded in one eye.
"The black light blinded me and hurt my eyes, and I fell into a trap when I ran around, and I went and dragged it up this morning." Xu Shiyan casually explained two sentences.
"When you go home in the afternoon, don't forget to come over and carry a piece of meat, and go back to let the family satisfy their hunger."
There is a way that mountain wealth cannot be enjoyed exclusively, not to mention that they are brothers who get along so well, and there are good things that always score some.
Zhao Jianshe was overjoyed when he heard it, "Third brother, you are too powerful, right?" It's only been a day in the mountains, and you're going to get a wild boar? ”
As soon as I was happy, I couldn't control my voice.
"Yes, you can shout hard, wait to call everyone else, your share of meat is snatched away, I don't care."
Good things are also distributed to whom, friends don't feel distressed when they take anything, and if they are replaced by others, Xu Shiyan is not so generous.
Zhao Jianshe shrank his shoulders when he heard this, raised his hand and scratched his head, and smiled.
"I was wrong, third brother, I was wrong, but don't give meat to others."
It's not easy to eat meat once a month this year, even if you raise pigs yourself, you have to kill them during the New Year.
And if you kill it, you have to sell half of it to the supply and marketing cooperative, and the rest can be eaten by your own family.
Even this half of the pig can't be eaten openly, so it has to be kept for the New Year, and some have to be salted or dried and eaten slowly.
Seeing that little bit of meat all year round, which one is not greedy? Zhao Jianshe was afraid that Xu Shiyan would really give the meat to others, so he hurriedly asked for mercy.
Xu Shiyan is just scaring and scaring Zhao Jianjian, if there is no one else's, he has to send some to the Zhao family.
"Why don't you see the second and fifth children of our family? Why did they go, they didn't come to the mountain today? ”
Xu Shiyan glanced out a few times, but didn't see Xu Shi'an and Xu Shixiang, and couldn't help but be curious.
"Oh, Second Brother Xu is doing other work today, your fifth brother is going to sign up for the college entrance examination, saying that he is studying at home, but he won't come." Yang Chunming spoke.
"These are the ones that Aunt Xu asked us to bring, saying that she was afraid that you would have no food to eat in the mountains."
Yang Chunming pointed to the two bags on the ground, which contained cabbage, radish, potatoes, pumpkin and other things.
It was precisely because Zhou Guilan asked them to bring these dishes that they did not go directly to work, but went straight to the small house.
"Third brother, let's go to work first.
It was said that the sky might change recently, and the captain said that he had to hurry up and plant a mallet and don't freeze in the snow. ”
There is still a lot of work to be done in the field, and Yang Chunming and Zhao Jianshe don't have time to stay for a long time, so after saying a few words, the two of them hurried to work.
Yang Chunming and the others left, Xu Shiyan moved the vegetables brought by the family to the warehouse, and then turned around and went back to the house to have breakfast with Su Anying.
Oily slices of meat stewed potatoes, pasted cakes with salty and oily water, and a piece of fragrant and crispy oil, there is no one else on this small day.
As for whether it's good to get up early in the morning and eat something so oily? Who cares, as long as there is food, what do you care?
