"I don't have the same good physical strength as you." Jiang Ning said with a tired look on his face.
After a busy afternoon, it was almost evening. The people working in the fields were about to come back, and she had to prepare dinner for the night.
At this time, the two little kids also arrived home. They had a good harvest today and picked up almost five taels of rice.
By the time Jiang Ning got home and finished cooking the meal, his uncle and his family had also arrived home.
"Ning girl, are you okay? When I saw your two brothers came back this afternoon, I thought something happened to you. You didn't even tell us, making us worry." Old Man Jiang, who had just returned home and was sitting on a bench to rest, asked while watching his granddaughter busying around in the kitchen.
"Grandpa, I'm fine. I was planning to go to the mountain with Chen Yan to pick up some firewood today, and take him to the place where my second brother and I found him. As a result, we found a wild boar. Chen Yan and I couldn't bring it back, so we called my eldest and second brothers to help. Guess how many pounds the wild boar we picked up weighed? It was about 160 pounds." Jiang Ning gestured with excitement.
"Wild boar? Can it be so fat?" Old Man Jiang expressed his doubt. At this time, the domestic pigs carefully cared for by the production team only weighed a little over 200 kilograms in a year. How could the wild boars in the mountains grow so fat?
Jiang Ning looked at his grandfather's face, which looked like he didn't believe it, so he said, "The meat is in my room. You can go and have a look."
There was a reason why Jiang Ning kept the wild boar meat in her room. At night, she could put the wild boar meat in the refrigerator so that it could be kept for a longer period of time without becoming smelly.
As soon as Jiang Ning finished speaking, his second brother came over to agree with him, and his eldest brother also nodded foolishly. Only Chen Yan sat next to the stove with a blank expression.
The boss is quite cool.
So the group headed towards Jiang Ning's room in a mighty procession. When they opened the door, they saw that all the processed wild boar meat was placed in a large vat.
My sister-in-law Liu Zhaodi was very excited and said that she had never seen so much meat at home, and there would be no problem saving it for a year.
My uncle, aunt, grandparents and grandparents were also very surprised that the wild boar was so fat.
There was so much meat that the family could not finish it while it was fresh. It would be easy for the meat to go bad if kept at home during this season. Father Jiang quickly made a distribution, keeping about 60 kilograms of meat for himself and selling the rest of the wild boar meat at the market.
Everyone said there was no problem. After all, Old Man Jiang was the authority in the family and everyone respected him.
While eating, the second brother began to tell everyone about the shocking scene he saw with the wild boar. The whole family listened with great interest. After all, they had never encountered such a rare thing before.
After the meal was over and the story was told, everyone was still not satisfied.
My uncle also said, "Ning girl, the wedding banquet you prepared at the village chief's house this time was quite good. Many people told me today that your cooking is delicious. From now on, I will ask you to be the chef when we have things to do at home."
"Yes, yes, Ning girl, who did you learn this from? Your cooking skills are so good. I was thinking about it the last time I ate rabbit meat. The taste was so unforgettable." My aunt also said.
Jiang Ning shook his head sheepishly and said, "I just watched you guys cook, and when I had nothing to do, I would watch Uncle Shan cook. Over time, I learned how to cook."
"Huh, you lie so easily." The system, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.
Jiang Ning was no longer surprised by this. The system he was bound to was like this and it would do whatever it wanted.
"If I don't say this, what should I say? Could it be that I came from a book and my previous job was a chef?" She wanted to roll her eyes at the system, but unfortunately the system couldn't see.
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm here. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking."
......
Early the next morning, the whole family went to the production team to work after breakfast, leaving Jiang Ning and Chen Yan at home. Jiang Ning began to clean the house.
She washed the clothes that needed to be washed at home and sewed up the clothes with holes. Chen Yan saw that there was nothing for him to do at home, and remembered that he had planned to go chop firewood yesterday, but he went to move the meat yesterday and didn't chop firewood. So he said goodbye to her and took an axe to go up the mountain to chop firewood. After all, he felt embarrassed to live in someone else's house and eat and drink for free.
Jiang Ning said that she would go with him, but Chen Yan refused and asked her to just pack up at home. Seeing his determined look, Jiang Ning had no choice but to agree.
At noon, Jiang Ning brought the prepared lunch to the fields. The weather was not very good at the moment. In order to avoid rain and the failure to harvest crops, everyone was busy harvesting rice. They didn't even have time to go home for lunch. The food was delivered to the fields from home.
After they finished eating, Jiang Ning thought that Chen Yan had not eaten yet and was planning to bring him food, but suddenly he remembered that he had brought lunch for himself before leaving, so he didn't have to go up the mountain to bring him food.
So she returned home, took out the wild boar's head she had prepared yesterday, and carefully burned off the hair. She placed the head in a large pot, added ginger slices, cooking wine, and seasonings, and started to cook. She first boiled it over high heat, then simmered it over low heat. By the evening, it was almost ready to eat.
Soon, the water boiled. Jiang Ning turned the heat down to low and began to simmer, adding the radish in advance so they could have dinner when they returned.
When they came back, Jiang Ning had already picked up the wild boar's head and cut it in half, saving half of the head for tomorrow's meal. She had already cut the pig's ears and tongue and put them on a plate, and was cutting the pig's face. The two little rascals surrounded Jiang Ning and took bite after bite of the meat, saying it was so delicious and she wanted more.
