Chapter 17: A Feast
With a crisp "click", the wood in her hand broke in two, and the boar's body only froze for a moment, but it was not damaged in the slightest.
Seeing this, Shen Fuan and Hu Chunsheng raised their tools one after another and waved them at the wild boar.
However, the boar's flesh was so thick that the knife and pickaxe fell on it, and although the boar was injured, it was not fatal, but made it attack the crowd even more frantically.
Some people were frightened in their hearts, seeing the wild boar rushing towards them, they didn't dare to stop them at all, so they could only shout to avoid it.
The crowd screamed for a while, but no one dared to make another move.
Shen Xinyue snatched the long knife from the hand of a person next to her, ran two steps and rushed to the wild boar's side, and one jumped up and slashed twice at the flesh of the wild boar's back.
These two knives almost used all her strength, and finally cut two long cuts in the boar's body.
The boar howled in pain, and the speed of its attack slowed down.
Seeing this, several descendants immediately raised the weapons in their hands and gave the wild boar a few more blows.
Finally, with a thud, the boar's heavy body fell to the ground.
Although he is not dead, he is clearly no longer aggressive.
Seeing that the wild boar was defeated, everyone who was still scared cheered in unison in an instant.
"This wild boar is not small, I'm afraid it has to be more than a hundred pounds, right?"
"I can't stop seeing that."
"It's been a long time since I've tasted meat."
As everyone was talking, Shen Laoqi stepped forward, took out the boning knife on his waist, and beckoned his mother-in-law to get a clay pot, and then stabbed the wild boar on the ground in the neck.
He used to be a butcher, and he knew a thing or two about killing pigs.
Soon someone went to carry stones, someone to collect firewood, someone to fetch water.
The thought of having wild boar meat for a while, no one was sleepy in the middle of the night, and everyone was full of energy.
After receiving the blood of two crockpots, Shen Laoqi beckoned everyone to carry the wild boar to the board set up by the stones.
It took a lot of effort to finally clean up the wild boar.
The whole wild boar is not small, conservatively estimated to be one hundred and seventy or eighty pounds.
Removing the head and hooves into the water, you can produce about 100 catties of meat.
There are a total of ten families in the team, and each family can share ten catties of meat.
"child, throw this away, the smell is heavy, don't smoke it when you get close."
Shen Laoqi pointed to a pair of water thrown in the basket and asked the daughter-in-law next to him to take it and throw it away.
Seeing this, Shen Xinyue hurriedly stopped someone: "Auntie, don't throw this, give it to me." ”
Shen Laoqi's daughter-in-law kindly reminded: "Xinyue, the smell of this water is not good, and the things made are even more unpalatable, but don't waste firewood for this little thing." ”
Now the reason why people think that pigs are unpalatable is not only because the cooking tools are not good, but also because there are too few seasonings.
Take the most common salt, for example, only large families can eat fine salt.
But Shen Xinyue is different, whether it is oil, salt or condiments in her space, there is everything.
"Auntie, in this situation, who cares if it's unpalatable or not, as long as there is something to eat, it's good. Besides, while there is water now, it may be better to wash it twice more. ”
Shen Laoqi's daughter-in-law thought that their family was old and small, and it was indeed not easy, so she handed the basket to her.
He turned around and put one of his own stick bones in it.
"Don't look at the lack of meat on it, there is also oil splash when it is broken and boiled in soup, my family has drunk this since he was a child, and his body is strong, so you sisters should drink more."
Shen Xinyue didn't refuse, and after thanking her with a smile, she returned to Mrs. Shen with the basket.
However, before he had time to clean up these things, he was counted down by Mrs. Shen, who finally caught the opportunity.
Roughly speaking, she is a girl who rarely goes to dangerous places.
Shen Xinyue didn't talk back to her, but nodded very obediently.
As soon as Mrs. Shen saw her attitude, she knew that she had said it in vain.
Since escaping the famine, this granddaughter has changed, not only has her ability become greater, but her ideas have also become bigger.
"Grandma knows that it's not easy for you, just think about us in advance what to do in the future, in case you have three long and two short, how can you let us live?"
"Milk, don't worry, I won't do anything I'm not sure of."
If there was any danger, she would have run faster than anyone else.
"Eldest sister, the water is back, what is this, it stinks!" Shen March and April each came back with a crockpot of water, and when they saw the things in Shen Xinyue's hand, they couldn't help but wrinkle their noses.
"Pig intestine, don't look at this thing smells stinky, it tastes delicious for a while."
Shen Xinyue poured water into the basin, and then grabbed two handfuls of plant ash into it.
After the initial cleaning, I changed the water again, secretly took some vinegar and salt from the space and put it in, and scrubbed it again.
Until you're sure it's thoroughly clean, start heating the pan.
"Sister, what is this?"
Shen Jiyue squatted by the fire, looking at the onions and green peppers she put in the pot, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"This is the eldest sister picked up on the road during the day, put more in it, maybe it will cover the smell."
At this time, there were no onions and green peppers, so Shen Xinyue could only casually make an excuse.
Shen Jiyue's eyes widened, and she asked with some concern: "Eldest sister, I heard Aunt Hu say that things on the side of the road can't be eaten casually, it's easy to have diarrhea." ”
Shen Xinyue learned from her, and also whispered: "Well, the eldest sister has already tried, and she dares to let it go without diarrhea." ”
Seeing her say this, Shen Jiyue breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon the aroma in the pot spread, but fortunately, everyone around was busy cooking meat, so it was not too eye-catching.
But it still attracted several people to watch.
Hu Songbai and his son came over: "Xinyue, what are you doing, your uncle and I have been making trouble with the gluttonous worms in my stomach, and the meat I make is not fragrant." ”
Shen Gui'an: "Big sister, I still have a piece of cake for you here, can you give me a taste after a while?" ”
"I've done a lot today, if you don't dislike it, come and eat."
If Shen Xinyue got it, Shen Dacheng and Shen Fuan, who were still a little embarrassed, also came over.
Seeing that the men were all coming, in the end, Li Guilan took her daughter-in-law and simply moved the food at home with her.
A group of people gathered around and prepared to eat.
"Eldest sister, can I send some to Wang Liang? Just a little bit would be fine. Shen Jiyue said and stretched out her thumb and index finger, a little bit smaller.
Shen Xinyue looked up and saw Wang Liang in the distance sitting under a big tree, there was no fire around him, and he was alone, which was in stark contrast to the excitement of their place.
Shen Xinyue hesitated for a moment and said, "You go and call him over to eat together." ”
Shen Jiyue happily immediately ran over, and it didn't take long to pull Wang Liang over.
"Thank you, big sister." He thanked Shen Xinyue, and then sat down in the seat next to him in a proper manner.
Shen Yingyue served him a bowl of porridge.
"I've never eaten anything so delicious, and if I could eat it every day, I'd wake up laughing in my dreams." Shen Gui'an ate a piece of fat sausage, and he almost swallowed his tongue together.
Hu Songbai: "The craft of the crescent moon, when you settle down in the future, you can open a restaurant." At that time, I will reopen the tofu factory. Let's be neighbors, with an uncle, you don't have to worry about anything else. ”
Shen Xinyue smiled: "Then I'll thank Uncle first." ”
Everyone, you and I say a word, and the meal is very lively.
After eating, Wang Liang helped pack up his things, and then returned to the edge of the team very interestingly.
Shen Xinyue was very satisfied with this.
