"Isn't it!" the emperor said as he handed him the memorial he had read, "Rongxi Village in Fengle County is quite good!
"Other places were plagued by wild boars that came down from the mountains, but their village not only eliminated the wild boars without a fuss, but they even shared the pork with the whole village. They were so happy!"
Qin Songyin took the memorial, glanced through it quickly, and quickly extracted the key points. He said, "Rongxi Village's method is very good and is worth promoting and learning from other villages and towns."
The emperor said, "They are lucky to have a sharpshooter like Ye Qingchen in the village. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so easy."
"As the saying goes, many hands make light work. If we all work together to deal with wild boars, it will eventually be effective.
"Even if we can't kill the wild boar on the spot, we might be able to drive it back into the mountains."
"That makes sense. I'll take note of this and have the Sino-Agricultural Division send people to the surrounding villages and towns to spread the word, so as to avoid any more major accidents caused by wild boars coming down the mountain.
"Oh, right, get some people to go up the mountain and investigate. Let's see what's going on with these wild boars. Why are they all running down the mountain when it's almost New Year's!"
"Yes!" Qin Songyin accepted the order.
The emperor thought for a moment and added, "Invite Ye Qingchen in as well. I remember you said he was a hunter before?
"He has experience in mountaineering and is a good archer, so maybe he can be of help."
The emperor said this, but what he was thinking in his heart was that for the second time in a row, Ye Qingchen first helped capture the bandit leader, and then made a good start in hunting wild boars.
I don’t know how capable Ye Qingchen is, but he seems to have pretty good luck.
If we put him in there, maybe the problem can be solved smoothly.
But such words were obviously not suitable to be said in front of the ministers, so he found a high-sounding excuse.
"Yes, I understand."
Although the emperor did not say it out loud, Qin Songyin could roughly guess what he was thinking based on his understanding of the emperor.
But I have to say, although it may sound a bit unreliable, but sometimes, if you want to get a job done, in addition to using your brain and hard work, luck is also an indispensable condition.
At this time, Boss Ye was still unaware of the heavy responsibility that was about to be entrusted to him, and was preparing to go into the city with his wife and Qingtian.
"My master is already at the game restaurant. He asked me to drive over to pick you up."
Meng Yu is a lively person. Usually he is a little restrained in front of Mr. Cen, but now he is talking a lot.
"Let's hurry into town and head straight to the game restaurant. My master is going to roast a whole pig with the shopkeeper today!"
When Mrs. Ye heard that Mr. Cen also wanted to participate, she immediately became anxious.
"Hurry up and go, I have to learn from you."
"Don't worry, Auntie, we'll start in the afternoon!"
Because Mrs. Ye recognized Old Cen as her grandfather, Shi Lei and Meng Yu also changed their name to that.
"Our master was afraid that you would be anxious, so he asked me to drive the car to pick you up.
"Let's go through it safely and steadily. Nothing will be delayed."
Boss Ye first carried Qingtian into the car, then helped Mrs. Ye up, then closed the door and sat outside himself.
Meng Yu jumped onto the shaft of the cart, sat sideways, flicked the whip and set off.
Along the way, Boss Ye sat outside with Meng Yu and talked, and asked Sister Ye to take Qingtian to sit in the car.
Fortunately, although it is dry and cold today, there is no wind. Even if I sit outside to catch a car, I won’t feel cold as long as I wear warm clothes.
Listening to Meng Yutian's random chatter about everything under the sun, we soon arrived at the game restaurant.
Several people came in, but didn't see anyone. They only heard someone talking in the backyard.
Mrs. Ye stuffed Qingtian into Boss Ye's arms and ran quickly to the backyard.
When I arrived at the backyard, I found Manager Liu, Mr. Cen, Shi Lei and a few other guys, both familiar and unfamiliar, gathered by the backyard wall.
When I looked over, I found that there was something like a well on the ground.
Mrs. Ye leaned over to look down and saw that the inside was built up with circles of blue bricks like a wellhead, but it was not too deep. She could vaguely see the bottom, but it was pitch black underneath.
"Aren't you talking about roasting a whole pig? What are you looking at here?"
Mr. Cen and Manager Liu laughed when they heard this.
"This isn't a well, it's a stewing oven." Elder Cen explained to Mrs. Ye, "Shopkeeper Liu is using this stewing oven to prepare the roasted whole pig today."
Mrs. Ye perked up when she heard this and quickly asked, "So they're going to roast the pig in there? Why is it called a stewing oven? Isn't it roasted over an open flame?"
Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Liu gave Sister Ye a thumbs-up and said, "That hits the nail on the head."
After checking the stewing oven, it’s time to deal with the wild boar first.
Shopkeeper Liu had already picked out a wild boar and slaughtered it, and had cleaned up everything. Now only a clean pig was left on the table.
He extended his hand as a gesture of invitation and said to Mr. Cen, "It's up to you now!"
Mr. Cen was not polite and walked forward and pulled out a machete.
Split the wild boar in half along its spine.
Don't look at his age, he has very strong hands.
Moreover, this is not a job that requires brute force. If you use too much force, you may easily chop the pork directly or even split the whole pig in half.
Old Cen chopped the vertebra in half with one cut, then slid the knife downwards to split it in two.
Each cut was made precisely on a line, and with just a few strokes the entire skeleton of the wild boar was split in two inside the body.
Then he changed to a narrow pointed knife, sharpened it himself, and tested its sharpness with his fingertips before continuing.
