"The wild boars came down the mountain today. We killed two large ones. We've already arranged for one to be delivered to the commune. Now we're going to divide the remaining one. Everyone line up and come one by one. Our village will have pork today."
As soon as the captain finished speaking, the villagers were suddenly excited, with cheers and laughter intertwined.
Everyone was very happy. They hadn't seen meat for six months, and today they could finally enjoy a good meal. Li Rui and the other educated youth had just returned, so they could line up and get some pork.
Yue Yue returned to the educated youth camp and began to get busy. She carefully cleaned the offal she had bought that day with wood ash. The smell of pig intestines was truly overpowering, the pungent odor making her frown. Fortunately, she had blocked her nose beforehand.
She washed it patiently, over and over again, and it took her half an hour to completely clean it.
She put the cleaned large intestine, pig's trotters, and pig's ears into the pot and blanched them, then added the spices she had prepared in advance, including star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, peppercorns, etc. These spices were all saved by her on a daily basis.

The fragrance permeated the entire educated youth site, making people salivate at the mere smell of it.
"Yueyue, is this really pig offal? Why does it smell so good? It makes me drool."
When Liu Lili came back, she stood by, staring at the pot, and took a deep breath of the aroma, as if she wanted to absorb it all into her stomach.
Yue Xin was almost dying of greed. She and Mo Shihao only got a small piece of meat today.
There were only a dozen or so thin slices. As soon as she put down her bowl and picked up her chopsticks, Mo Shihao took away most of them, saying that he hadn't eaten for a long time.
She looked at Mo Shihao helplessly. She had only eaten three slices recently. Now, smelling the aroma of the braised pig offal, her stomach growled non-stop, as if protesting its hunger.
She had no choice but to eat the rice in her bowl with the wild vegetables and barely finish the meal. But she was thinking that the taste of the braised offal must be much better than the wild vegetables.
