Reborn in 76: Leading the Whole Village to Eat Meat and Prosper

Li Xiangdong lived a wealthy life until sixty, with a house full of children and grandchildren, but one day he was sent to the heavens by the two green hats his wife gave him.

When he opened ...

Chapter 158 Roasted Wild Boar

When Li Xiangdong saw Luo Hongkai shake his head, his heart tightened. "What's wrong? Is it not working?"

Luo Hong explained, "There's a fork in the stream in the middle, splitting into two streams. Our stream has a smaller flow, and I'm worried that if there are too many wild boars, they might be swept away to the other stream!"

"That waterway leads straight to the waterfall on the other side of the mountain!"

Li Xiangdong pondered for a moment, "This means someone needs to use a rope to hold the wild boar back here. Grandpa, we can't transport too many at once."

Luo Hongkai nodded, "Yes, let's try ten first!"

Soon, the ten wild boars were tied together; some weighed over 100 jin (50 kg), and some weighed over 200 jin (100 kg).

It took five men a lot of effort to pull the wild boar into the stream. Luo Hongkai, Luo Yonggang, and Bai Yulong tied ropes around their waists and tied them together with the ten wild boars to keep them in a fixed direction.

Li Xiangdong and Bai Yufeng acted as backup personnel on the side.

The wild boar sank to the bottom as soon as it was thrown in, then slowly floated back up. The group of people used the current to pull the boar, which wasn't too difficult.

As you walk, you soon reach the fork in the stream, which resembles a "Y". On one side, the water flows slowly with a narrower channel, while on the other side, the water rushes and flows more rapidly.

Sure enough, even though the three men were pulling the wild boar along the bank, the current kept pushing it toward another stream.

Luo Hongkai focused his energy in his dantian and said, "Gangzi, Xiaolong, give it your all!"

Bai Yulong and Luo Yonggang tightened the rope around their waists, pulling hard with both hands, their veins bulging.

The weight of over two thousand kilograms seemed to increase even more in the water!

Li Xiangdong looked around and realized that it had taken so much effort to catch just ten wild boars; he would have to make several more trips!

Suddenly, Li Xiangdong slipped and fell flat on his back!

"oops!"

Li Xiangdong felt a burning sensation in his buttocks.

Bai Yufeng took a look with the torch and found that Li Xiangdong's attention was on the wild boar, and he hadn't noticed that he had stepped on a dry log!

I don't know who cut down the wood, it hasn't been moved yet.

Li Xiangdong touched the redwood tree, which was about ten centimeters in diameter, straight without branches, and about twenty meters long, and a plan came to his mind!

"Sister Yufeng, quick, let's put this redwood pole over that rock in the water!"

Bai Yufeng was dumbfounded. "What are you doing? Why are you getting wood?"

Li Xiangdong calmed himself down and adjusted his strategy. "Sister Yufeng, take this end of the redwood and tuck it behind that thick redwood on the shore. Then secure it with a rope!"

Bai Yufeng didn't quite understand at first, but she was a quick-witted person and immediately did as Li Xiangdong said.

Li Xiangdong grabbed the other end of the redwood tree and jumped into the stream with a splash!

The water here was more than two meters deep. Fortunately, he was a good swimmer and quickly swam with the log to the large rock in the middle of the "Y". He struggled against the current to attach the log to the rock.

I don't know when or how this big rock appeared here. It's tall, large, and very smooth.

Li Xiangdong secured the log, which effectively blocked another, larger stream of water!

The wild boar floated on the water, and just as it drifted in that direction, it was blocked by the redwood.

Bai Yufeng cheered, "Brother Gang, your nephew is so smart! You're amazing!"

Luo Yonggang: Yu Feng, this doesn't seem to have much to do with me...

Luo Hongkai, Bai Yulong: ......

Li Xiangdong swam ashore and wiped the water off his face: Aunt Yu Feng's love-struck brain is in its late stages!

When the sun climbed over the mountain and the sky was bright, there were already more than twenty wild boars piled up in the Luo family's yard!

The Bai siblings, Luo Yonggang, Luo Hongkai, Li Xiangdong, and others were catching up on sleep in the house. After they had rested, they would have to go up the mountain to transport the remaining wild boars!

Zhao Sufang helped Liu Jiangsu to look at the residents in the yard. "I really didn't expect there to be so many wild boars!"

Zhao Sufang had never seen a wild boar before; she had only seen the large black pigs she kept at home. The two were somewhat similar, except that the wild boar's hair was stiffer and it had terrifying tusks.

Touch the wild boar's skin; it's hard, dirty, and oily!

Liu Jiangsu explained to her, "Wild boars like to roll around in the wild and rub against pine tree trunks. Their bodies are covered in pine resin, forming a hard shell. Ordinary bullets can't hurt wild boars; they can only leave a white mark!"

Zhao Sufang, who had never hunted before, turned pale. She really didn't know how her son and brother had managed to kill so many wild boars!

How dangerous!

When my son wakes up, I must have a serious talk with him and make sure he never goes into the mountains to hunt wild boars again!

Because Li Xiangdong hadn't exerted too much effort and was young, his strength recovered quickly, and he was the first to wake up. Looking at the little wild boar, he remembered the aroma of roasted wild boar and his mouth watered a little.

"Grandma, Mom, let's have roasted wild boar today!"

However, the two of them could only assist; Li Xiangdong had to do all the peeling and cutting of meat.

He chose a wild boar weighing about 100 pounds. Wild boars of this weight are not yet adults, have not mated, have less of a fishy smell, and their meat is tender.

Li Xiangdong hung the wild boar's two hind legs on the trunk of a banyan tree in the yard and gutted it with a knife.

Luo Hongkai's hunting knife was very sharp. Li Xiangdong first stabbed the knife in with force, and then easily threw it away in a straight line.

Next came skinning. Li Xiangdong wasn't very skilled, but he managed to peel off the wild boar skin, albeit with some difficulty.

Xin Gan threw the food into the dog bowl for Black Tiger and Black Leopard, giving the two hunting dogs an extra meal.

The two tall, large yellow hunting dogs that Bai Yulong and his sister brought smelled the aroma of pork and kept barking. Li Xiangdong had no choice but to throw the intestines and lungs to them.

Li Xiangdong plans to roast pork belly and pork leg.

Pork shoulder is a very precious cut of pork in modern times. Among gourmets, pork shoulder is the most popular cut of pork when eating roasted pork, in addition to pork neck.

The name "Plum Blossom Pork" comes from its appearance. It consists of lean meat interspersed with fat, and specks of white fat dotting the red pork, resembling the spots on a sika deer, hence the name.

Pork shoulder is a cut of pork located between the shoulder blade and the tenderloin, making up a very small percentage of the whole pig.

In addition, the reason why pork shoulder is so precious is that its meat is firm and flavorful.

Pork shoulder has a perfect balance of fat and lean meat. Whether pan-fried, stir-fried, or deep-fried, the flavors of the fat and lean meat permeate each other, creating a lingering aroma and a tender texture. Especially when grilled, it bursts with juice in your mouth.

Pork leg meat is delicious because the front leg of a pig is more flexible, has more lean meat, good elasticity, and is delicate in texture and flavor.

Pork foreleg meat is excellent for making fillings, whether for steamed buns or dumplings.

Li Xiangdong sliced ​​the pork into pieces and placed them on a bamboo tray lined with wild mint leaves. The aroma of the mint would dispel the wild boar's pungent smell.

Over there, Zhao Sufang had already prepared the stove. She lit the dry tree trunk, then blew out the flames as Li Xiangdong had instructed. On the stove was an iron grate—used to roast potatoes and sweet potatoes over a brazier in winter.

Using the scattered embers of the charcoal fire, the aroma of roasted wild boar soon filled the air!
