At noon, Lin Erhu went home for dinner, and before he entered the door, he heard the sound of a donkey barking from the yard.

"Sister, did you buy a donkey?"

Lin Xiaoman is cleaning the newly built pigsty in the backyard, and when he built the house last year, he asked people to build the pigsty.

Hearing this, he responded: "Well, I bought two heads, but I got fat." Go back to Uncle Carpenter to fight the donkey cart, and then go to the city to drive the donkey cart yourself. ”

Lin Erhu ran to the backyard to see the donkey, and sure enough, the donkey was really fat, fat and strong, several laps stronger than the donkey in the village when the grass was the fattest in the summer, and it was almost catching up with a pony, so he couldn't wait to take it out to slip away.

"Sister, I'll go to Uncle Carpenter and ask him to get a donkey cart."

After saying that, he ran away like a smoke.

Lin Xiaoman straightened his waist, looked at the back of his younger brother running away, and shook his head helplessly: This kid may even ask Uncle Carpenter to make a pair of saddles.

Soon, Lin Erhu and the carpenter ran back after ordering the donkey cart, and sure enough, they also hit a pair of saddles.

Lin Erhu said to Lin Xiaoman: "Sister, in the past few days, someone in our village has encountered wild boars on the mountain, and they have also caught two of them. ”

"Did you hurt anyone?" Lin Xiaoman was also startled when he heard that there was a wild boar.

Every year after winter, the wild boars on the mountain will go down the mountain to plague the village if they can't find food, and the snow is not thick at the beginning of this year, and the wild boars are not short of food in the mountains, and they have not come down the mountain.

After the New Year, it snowed again, and it was even more difficult to descend the mountain, and I don't know how many animals on the mountain were frozen to death and starved to death. The snow melted in the spring, and it is not surprising that wild boars came down because they could not find food in the mountains.

But if they hurt the people who go up the mountain to pick vegetables, they are also responsible.

"No, no, it's just that Lin Laifu got his foot, was rescued by the hunter, and shared a pig's foot, he was very happy."

Lin Xiaoman relieved his heart after learning that no one was hurt, "Our house is close to the mountain, don't go out alone in the future, where can I send you over." Anyway, the mountain vegetables haven't come down yet, so let's see if we can collect them. ”

Lin Erhu sighed, seeing that the people in the village went up the mountain in groups to look for wild boars, maybe when the mountain vegetables came down, the wild boars would have to be defeated.

While eating, when they heard the commotion outside, the sister and brother climbed the ladder by the wall and looked out, and saw several men from the Xu family in the west of the village carrying a wild boar passing by outside the wall, and the leader was actually Peng Guancha, who was stationed in the west of the village.

Lin Erhu shouted: "Uncle Peng, are you hunting in the mountains?" ”

Peng Guancha raised his head, "Yes, when you meet a group, you will catch this one, and let the rest run away." ”

Seeing that Lin Xiaoman next to him also climbed up, he said with a smile: "I turned around and divided the meat, Miss Xiaoman helped me cook it?" ”

Lin Xiaoman naturally wouldn't refuse, "Cheng, how does Uncle Peng want to eat?" ”

"Let's take it home, I'll send some home when it's my shift."

This wild boar was stabbed to death by him, and he had to share the meat with the big head, and then it was made into braised pork, and sent back to satisfy the wives and children at home.

As soon as Peng Guancha and his party were sent away, a group came down from the other side of the mountain, it was Lin Dawu and a few cousins in the Lin family, they caught two wild boars, and they looked bigger than Peng Guancha and they hunted.

Far away, Lin Dawu saw the two people exposed on the wall of Lin Xiaoman's house, and greeted: "Xiaoman, Erhu, go over to eat meat." ”

Lin Erhu is not greedy, but he is a child, and other people's food is fragrant, but he thought that he would have to go to class there later, and shook his head, "No, Uncle Wu, I and my sister have finished eating." ”

Lin Dawu smiled when he heard this, "Nacheng, when the pork is cleaned up, leave a piece for the two of you." ”

Lin Xiaoman said: "Isn't this okay? We didn't help either. ”

Someone next to him said, "What's wrong?" How much can you two kids eat? It's not a bite to be missed. ”

"That is, after lunch, haven't you eaten dinner yet? Let's go, let's go together. ”

The rest of the crowd also laughed and said yes one after another.

Lin Xiaoman didn't refuse, "Nacheng, Uncle Wu, you go back first, and I'll bring something over." ”

Lin Dawu didn't say that she shouldn't bring it, but just told her to go over.

After Lin Xiaoman agreed, he went back to prepare a basket of potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Lin Erhu was sent to Xu Qiuliang to continue studying, and Lin Xiaoman went straight to Lin Daqiang's house.

When Lin Xiaoman arrived at Lin Daqiang's house in the east of the village, the courtyard and the courtyard were full of people, and the two wild boars that had been entrailed were rolling in the hot water pot, and some people took the scoop to pour it on the place where it could not be immersed in water.

After the scalding, the pig was lifted out of the pot and placed on the case for cutting pork, and immediately someone took the broken tiles and began to shave the pig's hair.

After the pig hair is shaved clean, someone divides the pork.

These two wild boars are bigger than the one they made by Peng Guan, but they are still not as big as the domestic pigs, and there is not much meat left after being hungry for a winter, and the meat cut off is only more than 200 catties, but there are a lot of bones.

Someone saw Lin Xiaoman and shouted: "Xiaoman, come over and cut the material." ”

Lin Xiaoman didn't refuse, and generously went to the pot and added ginger, green onions, and the seasonings of soy sauce, star anise, and cinnamon that she brought.

Lin Daqiang divided the meat among the several cousins who went up the mountain, and left a large piece for Lin Xiaoman. The rest of the meat is stewed in a pot with the head and hooves.

The stick bone is crushed in the middle and put into another pot along with the other bones. There is also a pot of stewed offal.

The three cauldrons were all stewed with meat, and some village women watched the fire in front of the stove, and everyone was attracted by the half basket of potatoes and sweet potatoes brought by Lin Xiaoman.

When the seedlings were planted, everyone tasted some of the food that Lin Xiaoman prepared to come out for samples, and they were deeply impressed by the potatoes and sweet potatoes, and the dense taste made them want to taste it when they thought about it.

At this time, seeing Lin Xiaoman bring these, someone asked: "Xiaoman, is this going down to the wild boar to eat together?" ”

"Well, pork stewed potatoes, it's old and fragrant."

Suck! Someone mercilessly made the sound of sucking saliva, causing a burst of laughter. Many people swallowed their saliva under the cover of laughter.

When the three-pot meat was stewed, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and Lin Xiaoman had already taken the women in the village to peel and cut the potatoes into pieces, and put them into the big pot of stewed pork bones, and added a pot of dried mushrooms that had been soaked before, all of which were brought by each family from their own homes.

I cut a lot of pork slices in the pot, and sprinkled a large handful of chopped green onions when I came out of the pot, and the taste was really amazing.

The pig's head was fished out and sliced cold, and the pig's internal organs were chopped up by Lin Xiaoman to make soup like a boiled soup, so that the family could share a spoonful or two.

Lin Xiaoman buried the sweet potatoes he brought into the ashes of the stove that was about to be extinguished, and when he took them out, they would be roasted sweet potatoes.

Every family came to pick up vegetables with pots, knowing that this was a wild boar hunted in the mountains, it felt like it was picked up for nothing, and it was even more exciting than the meat during the New Year, and all of them were good at the craftsmanship of Quarin Xiaoman.

Lin Dajiao was also called over, and was given a bowl of pork stewed potatoes, and a spoonful of pig water was poured on it.

Lin Xiaoman's family got the share of Lin Erhu, and the big bowl of Lin Daqiang's family was much bigger.

After dividing, he walked to the west of the village with Lin Dajiao. I saw Mrs. Lin coming over with a basin in her face.

Lin Xiaoman hadn't seen the old lady for several months, and when he met him head-on, he was startled: Why is this old lady's mouth crooked?
