96 Preparations before killing pigs
Even though it was already two days at this time, the news that Li Changhui caught a wild boar still spread quickly.
Li Changhui carried the little wild boar on his back, and after explaining the matter, Li Yongkang hurriedly called the third son to replace the eldest son, and then asked the eldest aunt to watch a few children at home, and guarded the two little wild boars by the way.
As for the rest of the people, naturally they all went to Li Changhui's house.
Even Xiuling went with her, after all, the wild boar was dead, and she couldn't see the killing scene, so naturally there was no problem.
This vast group of people passed by the door of other people's homes, and because of the matter of wild boars, everyone couldn't stop discussing.
Such a big movement will naturally arouse the curiosity of nearby neighbors, and several families have come out to check the situation, and when they heard Li Yongkang explain, it was Li Changhui who caught a big wild boar, and naturally he was amazed.
Some people said that they would also go with him, so Li Yongkang asked him to go by himself.
By the time the group arrived at Li Changhui's house, Li Changwen, the lobby brother, had already arrived one step ahead of them.
Don't look at the lobby brother with a word in his name, but he is tall and big, with a beard, and he looks very strong.
In comparison, the eldest aunt is really very thin.
Li Changwen, like most people, is also honest and honest, and he is excited because of such a big wild boar at this time.
"Changhui, Dad, you are here, I asked my younger siblings just now, they don't have a big yellow bucket of hot pigs at home, so we have to move our family's one over."
Liu Yongkang nodded: "The water should not be boiled yet, Changsheng will go and pull the big yellow bucket over, you and Changhui will go and fetch more water, such a big wild boar, I'm afraid a little water is not enough." ”
looked at Li Changhui again: "Burn all the pots and stoves in your house, boil more hot water, the wild boar hair is very hard, the skin is thick, it should be scalded for a while." ”
Lin He happened to come out of the kitchen, and he was a little curious when he heard this: "Uncle, you have also killed wild boars before." ”
"This is the first time in our village, when I was young, a man from the next village went up the mountain to collect firewood, and encountered a wild boar that was bitten to death, so their village organized a lot of people to go up the mountain and catch one."
It was the first time Lin He had heard of this kind of thing: "It's so scary, isn't it dangerous to go up the mountain?" ”
Li Yongkang shook his head: "I have lived for decades, and I have only heard of this once, most of the time, wild boars avoid people, but in summer, the crops on the mountain are easy to be spoiled by wild boars." ”
But as long as people rush, the wild boar will run away, the wild boar hurts people, or it is bad luck, hit the wild boar and estrus, of course, there is today's accident, in the middle of the night three more up the mountain, met the female wild boar with the cubs.
Fortunately, Li Changhui has great ability, so the wild boar failed to hurt them, and Li Yongkang is also glad for his son.
"I see." Lin He said he understood.
Then Lin He followed the other two cousins, washed out the cauldron behind the house to cook pig food, and began to boil water.
As for the kitchen, there are several large and small pots, all of which are boiled with water.
And the five little wild boars, when Lin He took over, gave some spiritual power one by one, and now they are thrown to the corner of the firewood room and are accompanied by hares and pheasants.
Tomorrow, when we clean up a pigsty again, we can move them all out.
Xiuling turned around, and couldn't do anything else, so she helped light the fire.
At this time, two fires were lit in the yard, and people came from the house one after another.
Watching the excitement is obviously more attractive than sleeping.
When they heard that in addition to this big wild boar, there were also a few small wild boars, everyone was even more amazed.
Xiuling went outside the house for a walk, returned to the pigsty, and couldn't help but speak when she saw Lin He.
"Sister-in-law, I think your family can raise a dog to help take care of the home, and if someone comes at night, I can remind you."
Lin He knew what Xiuling meant, and she had to admit that it might be that her living environment was different in her previous life, and her bad guess about people's hearts was not enough.
However, with the previous uncle's reminder, she also knew what Xiuling meant.
"I also thought about it just now, tomorrow I am going to release the hares and pheasants, it is indeed more convenient to have a cat and dog to help watch the house."
There are no pet dogs now, they are all dogs in the nursing home.
The biggest difference, that is, ordinary rhubarb, and a kind of wolf dog.
As for what to raise, I'll talk about it when I'm done.
"My mother's rhubarb, I just got out of the nest last month, and I can get out of the nest recently, sister-in-law, you let Brother Changhui catch one, my mother's rhubarb's dog father is a wolf dog, and it is very good at watching the house."
"Really, that's a coincidence, so you don't have to look around."
"You go early, go late, for fear of being caught by others."
"Okay, I'll catch it tomorrow."
"Then I'll let Changsheng lead the way for you."
While the two of them were talking, someone was calling Lin He in front, and Lin He said hello to Xiuling and hurriedly went out.
"Xiao He, everyone wants to ask you, is this wild boar meat sold?"
The uncle asked on behalf of the others, of course, in fact, he wanted to ask himself.
Lin He only took a second to think: "Sell!" Of course sell! It is sold according to the price of pork in the market, but each household can only buy one catty! ”
Wild boar meat is much more expensive than domestic pork, and it is sold for the sake of the villagers, after all, they still have to gain a foothold in Xiang'an Village.
Only sold for a catty, because I didn't want anyone to be opportunistic, I bought wild boar meat from them, and then sold it at a high price in the town, which was not to help people make wedding clothes.
Besides, how simple it is to send it to the town, they have ox carts and doors, sell them to the village, and they need to weigh them little by little.
Li Yongkang didn't think about it so much, but when he heard Lin He say that it was sold, he said with a smile: "That's right, cut me a pound of pork belly later, I heard that wild boar meat is better than the pork I raised, so I can have a chance to taste it." ”
Lin He nodded: "No problem." ”
Li Yongkang, as Li Yonghui's uncle and the village head, has no objection to selling only one catty, and others naturally have no reason to object.
What's more, this is originally someone else's.
Of course, Lin He's eyes were sharp, and he still saw a few people with sudden eyes and obvious bad intentions.
She didn't care, anyway, there weren't many people who were really willing to buy wild boar, and even if they had any ideas, they wouldn't make any money.
It just so happened that Li Changhui and Li Changwen came back with water, and Li Changsheng also drove the ox cart and brought their big yellow bucket.
It is a large rhubarb bucket specially used to scald pigs, which is several laps larger than the bath bucket.
Four buckets of water were poured in, and the bottom was covered.
Li Changwen pressed the wild boar twice and shook his head: "No, this cold water can't be too much, Changsheng, you go and bring the big pot of pig food cooked at home, boil another pot, and directly scald it with boiling water later." ”
Under normal circumstances, whether it is killing chickens or pigs, you should not use freshly boiled water, otherwise the skin will be scalded.
But this wild boar is obviously different, if the temperature is not enough, it is probably useless.
Li Changsheng answered, and hurriedly went back, Li Yongkang asked Li Changhui a few words, went to the side to find two big stones, built them on the edge of the yard, and hugged firewood over.
Later, Li Changsheng brought the pot, this is a simple stove, with a fire underneath and water boiling on top.
