Chapter 56: Killing the Pig
Wild boar meat has a very strong smell and is not as delicious as domestic pigs. But, it's meat!
Its meat is still pork, and its lard can still be boiled out of lard.
I haven't eaten pork these days, and Wen Xian is very unhappy.
While waiting for Sheng Li'er to come, she dug a pit on the side with a stone and buried the blood released by the wild boar into the pit, so as not to provoke the big beast too quickly.
Fortunately, Sheng Li'er also came back from the bamboo forest, and when she heard Zhou Hui say that she had hit the wild boar, she didn't even slow down, and hurriedly came over to help drag the wild boar back.
The wild boar's blood was almost gone, but to avoid provoking other beasts by dripping blood on the way back, Wen Xian still used leaves and vines to bandage the wild boar's wound.
Just in case, this time the wild boar was directly dragged to Jiang Jingwan jumping into the sea, oh no, it was Jiang Jingwan who picked up the burden on the beach to deal with.
Jiang Jingwan: ...... You can't get over this stubble, right?
Fang Jiaren faced the sea breeze, ran over with a basket on his back and said excitedly: "Madam, do you need to boil water to scald pig hair?" ”
She knows how to kill a pig, she has to boil water to scald the pig's hair first. After scalding and shaving the pig hair, then disembowel the belly, take out the pig in the pork belly and throw it away, and then cut the meat apart.
It's just that this side is too far away from the cave, and I'm afraid it's already cold when the boiling water comes over.
Wen Xian patted the big wild boar of more than 200 catties, shook her head and said, "No need, I'll peel the skin directly, and then peel it off separately." ”
The skin ratio of wild boars is more than twice as thick as that of ordinary domestic pigs, and the older the wild boar, the thicker the skin.
Because of this, wild boar skin is very warm and wear-resistant.
If the skin is handled properly, the quality and feel will be more delicate and soft than many skins. Wear-resistant, warm-warm, and large-open.
After the nitrate is ready, it is used to make a wild boar fur coat, and the effect of wind and cold resistance is very good.
If you want to make a short fur coat, this pigskin can be made into two. After all, these women are petite and don't need much material.
"Straight on?" Sheng Li'er rubbed her arms, looked at the black wild boar, and felt a little resistant.
The rabbit fur is white, much better looking than this black pig.
Wen Xian raised her eyebrows and said, "Of course, you'll know when you make it, this is a good thing." ”
She gestured with a dagger and disemboweled. Sheng Li'er and Fang Jiaren were on the side to assist.
She took out the pig water inside and put it all into a dustpan.
When Fang Jia smelled the smell of the pig's head under the water, he had to pick up the dustpan and pour the pig into the sea.
Wen Xian's eyelids jumped, and she hurriedly stopped: "Put it first, you go back and pack some plant ash and coarse salt, and I'll deal with them later, these are all delicacies." ”
"Eat pigs in the water?" Fang Jiaren's eyes were full of disbelief.
Wen Xian said angrily: "Of course, this is a good thing, and you will know if it tastes good when I get it out." ”
The ancients didn't have the habit of eating pigs into the water, but she did. In the previous life, the fat intestine, small intestine, waist flower, pork liver or something, now I think about it and panic.
Fang Jiaren ran back to get his things suspiciously, and by the way, he called more people to come and help.
And Wen Xian's hands were not idle, and after taking the pig out of the water, she began to peel the pig's skin. I finally peeled off the pork skin and set it aside, and began to decompose the pork again.
Fortunately, the dagger given by Jiang Jingwan is really useful, and it is not difficult to cut the flesh.
Of course, it was also because every time she went under the knife, she deliberately avoided the bone part, so it was so easy.
The pig's head, pig's trotters, pig's front legs, two pig's hind legs, pork ribs, lard's fat, tenderloin, etc., were all broken down by Wen Xian one by one.
Except for the two pork hind legs, Wen Xian wanted to use them to make ham, which were larger, and the others were all divided into small pieces.
Especially for bacon, all of them are two or three catties a piece, which is easy to deal with when eating later.
After the meat was broken down and rinsed with seawater, the meat was stacked into a cleaned basket piece by piece, and was carried back by Sheng Li'er several times.
Looking at the new basket that Sheng Li'er brought back, Wen Xian decided to make a few tanning flats of different sizes after she went back, and used them to spread things on the ground or dry things.
If there is sunburning, it will be much more convenient to dry dried fish and chestnuts on weekdays.
When you are free, you have to weave a few bamboo boxes or a few more baskets for storage.
After the wild boar is processed, the next step is to dispose of the pigs in the water.
Pig in the water, other heart, liver and lungs or something, very easy to deal with, wash it, take salt and rub it.
The most difficult to deal with is the large and small intestines.
Wen Xian first scraped off the oil on the side of the intestines, and then found a slender branch and turned the small intestine over.
When turning the small intestine, she specially put it in the water to turn it over. After turning it out, the dirt in the small intestine is washed away directly along the water.
Compared to the large intestine, the small intestine is relatively clean.
The large intestine is full of pig feces, even if Wen Xian is not burdened, but there will be some separation after all.
Fang Jiaren, who was studying on the side, bit his lip and said, "How to deal with the large intestine, Madame will teach me, I'll come." ”
You can't let Wen Xian, the queen mother, clean up all the dirty work, tiring work, and hard work.
Wen Xian looked at her resolute look, and couldn't help but laugh: "You can assist me and help me hold the large intestine and prevent it from being washed away." ”
Even though this is a shoal, the water is faster than on the cave. If her hand slips and the large intestine falls down and washes away, she has no place to cry.
A pig's large intestine is more than seven meters, and Wen Xian intends to divide it into three sections to deal with it.
She first pinched the intestines, then slashed them with a dagger, and then took the large intestine in her hand to the water and let the sea water wash it automatically.
Rinse almost the same, then cut the rest, let Fang Jiaren take it in the water and rinse, and she herself began to turn over the first large intestine.
There is also a lot of fat in the large intestine, and all this warmth is disposed of by it. After that, put the ashes of plants and trees in a basket full of large and small intestines and rub them.
Knead and rinse many times, and then put coarse salt to rub. After rinsing it repeatedly, he and Fang Jiaren carried the basket back alone.
Fang Jiaren was very curious about what Wen Xian was going to do with the intestines, but she couldn't help it, just wait and watch it for a while.
There are more and more things to eat, and Wen Xian made a bigger earthen pot a few days ago, which just came in handy at this time.
She is going to make a fat intestine and burnt taro, she doesn't need to make too much at a time, just make a fat intestine first.
Two pots at the same time, one of the pots put ginger, green onion and salt together to boil the fat intestines to remove the smell.
These days, Wen Xian has found a lot of seasoning vegetables one after another, and also dug a lot of them back to plant.
For example, ginger, green onions, star anise, etc., she picked a lot of them and saved them, just waiting for when they would come in handy.
The other pot is used to refine lard.
To refine lard, you must first cut the lard into small pieces, and then put it in a pot and simmer it slowly.
Wen Xian plans to boil all the lard, and winter is coming soon, and it is not easy to spoil.
