Chapter 59 Braised Pork 2
Grandma Ning wanted to go with them to see the pig's head, and Ning Jing also went with them. The eldest and second oldest Nings carried baskets on their backs, thought about it, and called Li Dachuan over to divide up the remaining bones and other things.
Li Dachuan also went up the mountain with a backpack on his back.
Li Xiaomei didn't go. She was knitting a sweater. She had finished knitting a sweater for Dachuanzi, and the remaining red wool yarn could also be used to knit another sweater, and there was still some left.
On the way there, Ning Jing told Grandma Ning the origin of the wild boar, and also explained why they had so much cloth and wool.
When Grandma Ning found out, she was not happy but worried. It would be very dangerous if such a big wild boar was encountered by the children.
Grandma Ning was worried about the kids going up the mountain. How could they encounter a wild boar? It was such a rare occurrence.
Soon they arrived at the cave where the wild boar was hidden. There was no meat, but there were pig heads, pig trotters and some bones.
There were a lot of them. The three baskets they brought were all full, with only one pig's head and four pig's thighs left. Ning Lao Da and Ning Xiao Er Li Dachuan carried the baskets and each held a pig's thigh. Ning Xiao San picked up the pig's head, and Ning's grandmother carried the pig's head and walked home.
Only Ning Jing didn't take anything, and was protected by her brothers.
First they returned to Ning Jing's house. Boss Ning asked Li Dachuan to take home the pig bones in his basket and the pig thighs he brought back.
Li Dachuan did not hunt, he just helped to kill the pig. He did not expect that Boss Ning would give him so many things, dozens of dollars, and so many bones.
Forget it, I'll repay them when I have the chance in the future!
Grandma Ning thought that since the bones were all there, they couldn't be made into bacon, so they could only be made into braised meat.
Grandma Ning looked at the pig head in Ning Xiaosan's hand and said, "Dachuanzi, don't cook at noon, come to grandma's house for dinner!"
Li Dachuan quickly refused. Grandma Ning frowned and said, "Dachuan, how can you complain that the food grandma cooks is not delicious!"
Li Dachuan quickly said that this was not the case.
He has already received so many benefits from the Ning family. It would seem greedy if he came to eat and drink for free when Grandma Ning came.
Grandma Ning really wanted to invite Li Dachuan to join her, and there was only a pig's head. Li Dachuan said no and gave it to them.
Ning Xiaosan grabbed Li Dachuan and said, "Dachuanzi, come on, bring my little sister with you, who will follow you?"
Li Dachuan was persuaded. After thinking for a while, he left the pork thigh and said, "Grandma Ning, I'll give you this pork leg as a share."
Grandma Ning pretended to be angry and said, "Go away, you are such a naughty child. You came just because I asked you to, but you brought the pig leg. You are looking down on me."
Old Mrs. Ning knew that Li Dachuan's family had split up, and that a twelve-year-old child was living with his eight-year-old sister. She helped wherever she could and asked for their things.
Li Dachuan went home, put down the basket, and asked his younger sister to go and help. Fortunately, the Li family's old house and the Ning family's house were very close, so Li Dachuan did not waste time and arrived at the Ning family in about ten minutes.
Li Dachuan and Li Xiaomei watched Grandma Ning roast the pig's head and pig's hair on the legs. There was a burnt aroma. After roasting, Grandma Ning first made a few cuts on the pig's head so that it would be easier to absorb the flavor. She put it in the pot and boiled it once. After the pot boiled for five minutes, she poured out the water and boiled it again. In fact, there was no seasoning, only salt and the pepper, aniseed and tangerine peel they found in the mountains. Grandma Ning took a certain proportion and put them in the pot to cook.
Grandma Ning asked Li Dachuan and Ning Xiaosan to help make the fire.
Grandma Ning was not idle either. She picked the meat off the big bones and saved it for making dumplings.
