Chapter 48: The first update: the fragrant pork

Pig offal usually refers to pig viscera, including pig intestines, pig liver, pig heart, etc.

Oh, and there's also a pig's tail included as a bonus.

Whether pig offal tastes good depends on whether it can be cleaned cleanly and whether you are willing to add more food. Wild boars, in particular, have a stronger fishy smell than domestic pigs and are more difficult to handle.

The first point can be seen from the fact that Han Jing and Xu Fei are busy and sweating. As for the second point, although Ye Yu is reluctant to use less and less seasoning, he doesn't want to waste food even more.

Coupled with Hua Feifei's amazing cooking skills, it must be right.

The fried pig tails are dry, fragrant and crispy, the stir-fried pork offal is juicy and oily, the boiled pig blood soup is tender and refreshing, and adding some chili peppers brought from Xiangjiang River, it goes very well with rice, the kind that you can cook a whole pot of in one go.

The main dish was served on the table and placed in the center.

At the command of Chef Hua Feifei, the four of them were busy picking up food and eating steamed buns, being unspeakably quiet.

No, there was also the sound of sparrows chirping around the table, apparently attracted by the spicy and fresh aroma, but they could only take one-third of a dried chili pepper at most.

Fortunately, the sparrow does not know that it is so pitiful, and it prefers to smell rather than eat. Yes, it is so perverted that it likes to satisfy its inexplicable sense of smell.

"grumble!"

fragrant!

Hua Feifei, Han Jing and Xu Fei touched their round bellies and watched Ye Yu eat up all the leftover food. They became more and more envious of her good appetite.

That night, the aroma of meat wafted from every household in Wangjiagou.

The most common ones are the educated youth sites.

The food has made the educated youth site the most enviable and fascinating place for the people in Wangjiagou.

If Ye Yu had not rebuked the matchmakers on his first day at work and said "a wise man does not fall in love", there would probably have been matchmakers in the village proposing marriages, or young men and women would have come to propose marriages on their own initiative.

Even the ignorant little kids in the village were clamoring to be the sons and daughters of the educated youth.

Their parents would catch them and cook them stir-fried pork and bamboo shoots: "Don't you even consider whether they want it or not?"

The educated youths were sweating profusely:

...Is this the point?

Also, I need to carefully correct one point. It is not that the educated youth had meat every meal, but that the educated youth Ye had meat every meal. There was still a gap between the educated youth.

After eating and drinking, it’s time to wash the dishes and pots.

Since the meat was hunted by Ye Yu and Hua Feifei made great contributions in cooking, these miscellaneous items fell on the heads of Han Jing and Xu Fei, the two brothers in distress. No, it was Xu Fei who lost the game of rock-paper-scissors.

The two brothers demonstrated on the spot what internal strife and discord were.

The winner, Han Jing, was so proud of himself that he pulled out a low stool and sat down to the side, giving orders while shouting, "There's a lot of oil today, so hot water will remove it. Comrade Xu Fei, you'd better heat some water to wash it. Please wash it thoroughly."

Hearing this, veins popped up on Xu Fei's forehead and he splashed water towards Han Jing. Han Jing was not willing to be outdone. Fortunately, both of them knew that it was winter, so they were very measured in their response.

"Childish." Hua Feifei shook her head and sighed. Seeing Ye Yu looking at her, she moved her stool away from Han Jing and the others, indicating that she was definitely not from the same country as them.

After eating the pig offal and pig blood, there is still pork the next day.

Wild boar meat is fishier than domestic pig meat, so it naturally needs to be processed well in advance, and more ingredients should be used. It also has a woodier taste. Hua Feifei chose to stew it in a pot, which is full of burnt aroma, without any smell of mutton, and is very delicious to chew.

Unlike every household that stewed several pounds of pork for many meals, the pork ordered by the educated youths was eaten up twice a day at noon and in the evening. Anyone who saw this would probably say that these educated youths did not know how to live.

There was no way around it. With Ye Yu, a foodie, around, Hua Feifei and Han Jing didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

At night after eating pork, Han Jingcai smacked his lips and lamented to Xu Fei that there would be no pork to eat tomorrow, and Xu Fei threw a pillow at him.

The next day, it was Han Jing's turn to get up early and cook.

As soon as she entered the kitchen, she screamed:

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"

He cursed three times in a row, which shows how shocked he was.

But in the kitchen, there were two more wild boars weighing hundreds of pounds, exactly the same as the ones shared in the village the day before. Their wounds were healed neatly, and two large wooden basins were used to collect the pigs' blood.

Wild boar!

Two wild boars!

Two adult wild boars weighing several hundred kilograms!

Han Jing felt that he must not have woken up yet and was dreaming. He rubbed his eyes, and rubbed his eyes again, but the wild boar was still there. He looked up and looked around, and he was not in the wrong place. It was still the kitchen of the educated youth site.

"Ah, ah, ah!" Han Jing howled like a wolf three times, turned around and ran, rushed to the east room, grabbed Xu Fei who was still sleeping, and shook him violently.

“???”

"You are sick!"

Xu Fei, who was awakened, slapped him back.

Han Jing: “…”

"Wild boar!"

"What pig?"

Xu Fei didn't quite understand.

Han Jing explained again:

"Wild boars, there are two wild boars in the kitchen!"

Perhaps because he was woken up from his sleep, Xu Fei still didn't quite understand what the two wild boars meant. He was confused for a while before he reacted.

Two wild boars?

My brain suddenly stopped working.

"Wild boar?"

"right."

"Both?"

"right."

Xu Fei also exclaimed "Fuck!" and immediately got up, put on his cotton-padded jacket, and rushed out of the room with Han Jing. The biting cold wind outside made him shiver.

But I can’t care about the cold for the time being.

He came to the kitchen and saw two wild boars weighing hundreds of pounds with his own eyes, and exclaimed in surprise several times.

This time, Han Jing finally landed on his feet and was sure that he was not dreaming.

But Xu Fei felt dizzy, his feet felt like they were stepping on cotton, and he felt dazed. Could he not have woken up yet?

Then, the two of them went together to wake Hua Feifei up. Of course, they were not stupid enough to break into the girls' room. They just knocked and shouted at the door.

The impatient Han Jing jumped twice.

Hua Feifei was even more irritable than Xu Fei when she woke up, and came out of the house with a sour face.

Then he was stunned with his jaw dropped, and the sleepyhead ran away instantly: "Wild wild boar, wild wild boar, where did the wild boar come from?"

Although she asked this question, everyone knew where these two came from. They must be related to the last one. Apart from her, no one else could have thrown a wild boar into their kitchen.

But Ye Yu was still sleeping.

Due to Ye Yu's "authority", several people were struggling over whether to call for help first, or cook first and then call for help. If they chose the former, would they be punched out like this wild boar?

I know it won’t happen, but I can imagine it!

In fact, they didn't need to worry about it. Ye Yu had woken up early. She was not deaf. The three of them were yelling in the yard like mental patients. How could she have gone to bed early?

But the warm quilt was so comfortable that it seemed to have arms that imprisoned her. She rolled around in the quilt for more than ten or twenty minutes before finally getting up.

He draped the towel over his shoulders, put the mouthwash cup and clam oil in the wooden basin, and walked out with them.

Hua Feifei and Xu Fei had already woken up from their sleepiness and were squatting in the yard while washing up.

As soon as he saw her, he immediately asked, "Ye Yu, were those two wild boars in the kitchen caught by you in the middle of the night?"

"Yes," Ye Yu nodded and replied, "I caught it in the same trap as the one the day before yesterday. I dragged it back last night to avoid other people."

!!!

Even though I had made countless mental preparations, I was still shocked to hear this answer in person.

Xu Fei also knew what Ye Yu meant by avoiding the question, that is, she had no intention of sharing the wild boar with the whole team. This was understandable. In his opinion, being able to share the meat of a pig was already very generous, and not everyone could do it.

Besides, ordinary people can’t hunt wild boars.

There was just one question, and Xu Fei finally asked: "Didn't the captain say that Nanshan is very dangerous? There are jackals, tigers, leopards, bears, pythons, five-step snakes, and mountain winds. A bite from these things can be fatal."

Ye Yu answered the question irrelevantly: "By the way, besides being able to exchange for supplies, you can also help process the pork, such as making dried meat, bacon, and cured meat, and you will be paid. The same goes for cooking. The pig offal tasted good last time."

The topic change was very abrupt. Hua Feifei and Han Jing were not unaware that Ye Yu was trying to divert the conflict, but the conditions she proposed were really tempting.

This is meat, meat, meat!

"Can!"

The two said in unison.

Hua Feifei subconsciously touched her baby fat which had not yet faded. She always felt that she had gained weight since going to the countryside, all thanks to the guidance of a great teammate.

Meeting Xu Fei's gaze, Han Jing added, "But Ye Yu, you'd better avoid going to the South Mountain. The villagers say that it's really dangerous over there."

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. I value my life very much, maybe even more than you do." This was the only answer Ye Yu could give.

Xu Fei, Han Jing, and Hua Feifei didn't know how to cherish one's life by killing a wild boar in the middle of the night, but they also knew that Ye Yu was a person with big ideas and would not easily change a decision she had made. They could only believe that she had her own plans in mind.

Gurgle gurgle——

The sweet potato flesh in the pot is bubbling.

Breakfast was lighter than last night. Except for Ye Yu, whose staple food was meat, everyone else was vegetarian.

Ye Yu eats meat not because she has to, but mainly because the food she can exchange in the village is limited after all. To her, grain and vegetables are more scarce than meat. Eating more meat can reduce the consumption of sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes, etc.

This excuse is really "crazy".

After breakfast, the four of them got busy.

It's snowing today so they don't have to go to work and it's not their turn to be on duty, so they just happen to have plenty of time to deal with the wild boar.

When talking about smoked and cured meat, one person must be mentioned, and that is Yang Xiuxiu, an educated youth from the Hongqi Brigade.

The exchanges between brigades were not as frequent as they had imagined. They had not left the village for more than ten days, and it was time to keep the appointment.

Hua Feifei then recalled that when she parted with Yang Xiuxiu and the others, the last sentence she said seemed to mention pork. She was afraid that at that time, Ye Yu had already been planning to catch the wild boars in the mountains.

Ye Yu admitted it readily.

In addition to keeping the appointment, Xu Fei and his colleagues also wanted to go to the town post office to see if there was any reply from the magazine, and by the way, send out the letters they had written these days again.

Ye Yu’s snacks and candies have all been used up, and there are not many basic seasonings such as soybean oil and salt left, so he needs to go out and buy some more.

So after the snow stopped, the four of them went to ask the team leader for a day off.

This time was not as lively as last time. Several of us got up more than an hour late in the morning and arrived in town near lunchtime. We went to a state-owned restaurant to have lunch before going to the post office.
