Wen Xi returned to the wild boar again and liked it more and more.
The corpse was too bloody, and after looking at it for a while, I lost interest.
He walked towards the plants that the wild boar had thrown up with great effort.
I squatted down and took a look. Wow, mini potatoes? A bunch of potatoes about the size of walnuts, hanging on the rhizome, very cute.
Potatoes shouldn't be this big at this time of year, right? They must have been sitting there for years, hanging out in the ground. These are good things!
It’s really a superb stuff!
When I was a child, my grandmother's family was poor, and every winter, besides grain, this was the only vegetable we had. It almost played the role of all other vegetables.
It’s not that delicious, but it’s very filling.
Wen Xi buried the potatoes again. Remembering the location of these large patches of potatoes, she realized they had reached the edge of a deep mountain. No wonder they encountered wild boars!
"Xi'er..."
Along with the sound of wheels, Mao's shouts also arrived.
"Here."
After a while, Mao was seen rushing over, followed closely by Ye Erniang pushing a cart.
Mao came up and slapped Wen Xi on the back:
"How could you, kid, take your master so deep into the mountains? What if we run into a tiger or a black bear? Will you be able to save your life?"
Wen Xi touched the bridge of her nose awkwardly:
"Haha, I won't dare to do it again next time, Mom, I just forgot when I left."
Ye Erniang was happy to see Wen Xi get humiliated, and when she saw that it was almost done, she reminded him:
"Hurry up and carry it away! Otherwise, it will attract a big guy."
"Yes, yes, let's carry the pig quickly." Mao also reacted.
But how could two women and a half-grown child lift it? It would take four big men to lift this wild boar.
Several people tried to lift it for a long time but failed.
Wen Xi looked at the thick tree next to him, pushed the cart over, and tilted it against the tree.
In this way, the front of the cart is pressed against the ground.
Then tie the rope from the cart to the boar's head:
"Mom, Master, the three of us should be able to pull it up together."
Ye Erniang gasped:
"That works."
Compared to lifting it up completely, this does require less effort.
"Three, two, one, pull..."
The three of them worked hard to pull the wild boar onto the cart, then shakily pushed the cart forward. Once they found their balance, they headed out of the woods.
The way back, we took the path at the foot of the mountain near Wen Xi's house, so we didn't run into anyone. The cart went directly through a small back door in the backyard, saving us the detour.
Gu Shengmo woke up in the morning and realized that his sister had returned. So he wrote in the room while listening to the noise outside.
Hearing the noise coming from the backyard, he ran out.
When he saw the wild boar that was bigger than him, he opened his eyes wide in shock:
"Sister, sister, did you hit me? When did you become so powerful?"
Wen Xi touched the bridge of his nose awkwardly, walked over and prepared to pat the man on the head, but was dodged.
Wen Xi curled her lips:
"You're so stingy! You won't even let me touch you."
Gu Shengmo didn't answer and just stayed away from his sister.
"Alright! If you don't want to touch me, then don't touch me. Your sister doesn't have such great ability. This was achieved by my master. But don't worry, in the near future, I, your sister, will definitely be as powerful as you."
Gu Shengmo nodded with great trust.
Mao heard Wen Xi forbid the sale and wanted to keep the food to make sausages and bacon. The master agreed. She could only close her eyes and send Xiangye off to boil water. The master doted on her and let her do whatever she wanted, so what could a mother do?
Wen Xi's sweet voice came:
"Mom, since my aunt is helping to boil water, can you please go to the county and buy some more salt? I need lots of salt. Also, a pound of wine. Oh, and go to the pharmacy and buy some dried ginger, cinnamon, fennel, and nutmeg. And then go to the pork stall and buy me two or three sets of large intestines."
I saw these herbs that can be used as seasonings last time I went to the herbal medicine store. As for the two common herbs like star anise and Sichuan peppercorns, they weren't available, so I'll just have to make do with what I have!
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Miss. I don't know what to do with my stinky intestines. I really owe you."
Mao responded unhappily and went back to the main room to instruct Xiangye.
"Xiangye, let them eat first before making any trouble."
"Okay, I'll bring the food out right away."
After Mao finished speaking, she went back to the house and took out the silver.
Wen Xi and Ye Erniang had been out since before dawn and were extremely hungry.
The two of them wolfed down two steamed buns and went back to the backyard.
