When the hair on the wild boar's feet came into contact with the open flame, it immediately made a crackling sound, followed by a foul smell that spread and dissipated with the wind.
Although the pig's feet cooked in this way will be black, the texture of the pig skin will be more delicious after washing.
When Gao Mingcheng was roasting pig's trotters outside the house, Chen Dasong was walking over from the chicken coop with a few eggs in his hand, which he had just picked up from the chicken coop this morning.
In winter, because the temperature is too low, chickens will still lay eggs, but the egg production is not high. For example, in Gao Mingcheng's chicken coop, at the end of the day, there may be more than a dozen eggs at most, and only a few at least.
Because the egg production was not high, Gao Mingcheng simply stopped selling the eggs and used them for his own consumption.
"Mingcheng, are you going into the mountains to hunt wild boars again?" Chen Dasong was shocked when he saw Gao Mingcheng roasting pig's feet.
It was just dawn that day and Gao Mingcheng had already gone into the mountains and hunted a wild boar!
Gao Mingcheng smiled and said, "Yes, I'll give you some meat and bones later, and we can eat meat together!"
When Chen Dasong heard this, he immediately said, "Mingcheng, go ahead and do your work. I'll burn the hair off the pig's feet. I'm familiar with this job!"
As he said this, he handed the egg in his hand to Gao Mingcheng, and took the job of roasting the pig's trotter hair.
Gao Mingcheng smiled and could only let him go.
Since Chen Dasong helped to burn the hair off the pig's feet, Gao Mingcheng simply went into the house and divided the meat.
Every time he hunted a wild boar, Gao Mingcheng would always distribute the meat to a few fixed families, both in the village and in the county. Last time, he used iron pipes, tarpaulin, welding guns and other things on Xiao Jinfeng's place and said he wanted to pay him, but Xiao Jinfeng's father refused to take it, so he had to reciprocate and give more wild boar meat.
After doing the math, Gao Mingcheng suddenly realized that the boar meat he had hunted was too small and there was not enough to share!
After pondering for a moment, he decided to go into the mountain again today to see if he could hunt another wild boar.
He first divided the meat for Chen Dasong and Xuanyue's family, and then asked Xuanyuemei which internal organs she wanted to keep.
In addition to the better offal, Xuanmei also kept the pig lungs, saying that she wanted to have a bite of fresh pig lung soup.
Normally Gao Mingcheng doesn't want pig lungs because he thinks they are difficult to clean and the price is low, but many girls are willing to keep them, so he keeps them.
As for the pork liver, Xuanyuemei didn't want it anymore. She divided it into four parts and asked Gao Mingcheng to give it away.
After sorting the pork and pork bones, Gao Mingcheng said, "I'm going to go back to the county tomorrow. The kudzu powder has already been washed and is drying. It won't dry in a short while, so we can just take it to the county to dry it."
Many beauties nodded with approval on their faces.
She is also concerned about the clothing store business.
This person is always worrying. When he is in the county, he sometimes misses the village, but when he is in the village, he will worry about the business in the county.
Gao Mingcheng added: "There are many people at home, and the food is good. I plan to go into the mountains to hunt a wild boar later. In this weather, the boar won't go bad easily even if it's not refrigerated."
Xuanyue hesitated this time. She looked at Gao Mingcheng worriedly and said, "You got up in the middle of the night. You must be tired. You should go inside and have some sleep."
Gao Mingcheng shook his head and said, "No need to sleep, just go to bed early tonight."
He had already made his decision, and there was no point in trying to persuade him. She sat by the stove and used tongs to pick out a pork kidney.
The mulberry leaves wrapped around the pig kidneys have been burnt. After peeling off layer by layer, you can smell a fragrance. The hot steam from the pig kidneys tempts people to eat it.
"It's cooked! You can eat it now. I'll pick out the rest!" Xuanyue's face was full of joy as she continued to pick out the other pork kidneys and eggs.
Smelling the fragrant smell of burnt meat, Gao Mingcheng couldn't help but salivate. Even Xiao Xuxu shouted excitedly, "Meat, meat, eat."
"Haha, my son really knows how to eat! Okay, I'll give it to you first!" Gao Mingcheng smiled and reached out to pick up a pork kidney, but it was very hot to the touch, so he couldn't help but hold it with both hands alternately.
Manyu Mei was speechless and said, "You are such a big person, but you are still reluctant to put it down. Let it cool down for a while. Otherwise, you are not afraid of being burned, and your son won't be able to eat it!"
Gao Mingcheng put the pork kidneys on the ground to cool, and then opened the mulberry leaves that wrapped them. After they were completely exposed to the cold air, they cooled down quickly.
The pork kidneys were simply cut into small pieces and sprinkled with a thin layer of salt before being stewed. However, they did not smell fishy at all and had the unique aroma of mulberry leaves.
When it was almost cool, Gao Mingcheng fed Xiao Xuxu half a pig kidney.
A pair of pork kidneys, divided into four portions, half each.
After Xiao Xuxu ate half a pork kidney and a hard-boiled egg, his little stomach was full.
Next it was Gao Mingcheng and Xuanyuemei's turn to eat. Xuanyuemei only ate half of the pig kidney and left the rest for Gao Mingcheng.
Gao Mingcheng finished them quickly in two bites each.
Outside the house, Chen Dasong said, "Mingcheng, the hair has been burned. Now we need to wash it with hot water while it's still hot."
Chen Dasong walked into the house familiarly, got a basin, and poured hot water into the basin, covering the pig's head and feet.
While it's still hot, use a knife to scrape off the black dirt on the pig's head and feet. After removing the black dirt, the washed skin will turn brown.
Gao Mingcheng saw that he was quite skilled at his work, and that he did it quickly and well, so he did not rush to do it himself, but just said, "Uncle Chen, you haven't had breakfast yet, right?"
Chen Dasong laughed and said, "It's okay. I used to get up early to work, and only go home for breakfast after working for a while."
Gao Mingcheng understood and immediately went into the house to get a bowl of porridge for Chen Dasong.
"Uncle Chen, have a bowl of porridge first. I plan to go hunting in the mountains later. If I catch any prey, you will need my help to deal with it."
Seeing that Gao Mingcheng had already served the porridge, Chen Dasong did not refuse. He put down his work temporarily and started to eat the porridge. In just two minutes, he finished the bowl of porridge. After putting the bowl down, Chen Dasong continued to work.
Gao Mingcheng was not idle either. He had just eaten some pork kidneys and roasted eggs. He felt full of strength and decided to go into the mountains now.
"Black Tiger, Elf, let's go!" Gao Mingcheng shouted, and the two dogs who were catching up on their sleep in the doghouse immediately got up and quickly ran towards Gao Mingcheng.
Dahuang and the two little black balls also followed behind, but after Gao Mingcheng took the black tiger and the elf into the mountains, Dahuang and the two little black balls stopped following.
Dahuang is a little timid, and his current responsibility is to feed the cubs, so he naturally won't follow them into the mountains.
As for the two little black balls who inherited the black tiger gene, what will happen to them in the future is still unknown. Now, they are still ignorant and a piece of grass can divert their attention. Soon, the two dogs started playing on the grass at the foot of the mountain.
When they are puppies, both humans and dogs are innocent.
Gao Mingcheng was full of energy, and Black Tiger and Elf had also caught up on their sleep, so the man and two dogs quickly went into the mountains along the road.
Lu Xun once said, there are no roads in the world, but when more people walk on it, it becomes a road.
This road into the mountains was almost entirely walked by Gao Mingcheng alone.
The grass and trees are withered in winter, and the road conditions are better.
The black tiger and the elf rushed in front, taking on the responsibility of finding the traces of prey.
Although wild boars are active at night, they can be seen during the day, and if you can find a wild boar cave, you can hunt them.
But this time, our luck was not as good as last time. After searching for more than an hour, we still couldn't find any trace of the wild boar.
While searching for wild boars, Gao Mingcheng discovered several old kudzu roots, but he did not choose to dig them up. Instead, he planned to wait until next year when he wanted to make kudzu powder before going into the mountains to dig them up.
Walking and stopping along the way, soon the black tiger seemed to smell something and ran quickly towards a place.
Gao Mingcheng thought it had found the wild boar's trail, so he followed it closely. After running for a few minutes, a gunshot rang out, causing the black tiger to suddenly stop running.
Gao Mingcheng also stopped immediately and subconsciously looked for a place to hide.
This mountain, which had been quiet for such a long time, was once again visited by people other than Gao Mingcheng who came in to hunt!
Judging from the sound of a gunshot, it should be a hunting rifle. When the shot was fired, there was also the sound of iron sand scattering.
Gao Mingcheng stood there, thought for a while, and then signaled the two dogs to stay here, while he prepared to go alone to investigate the situation and see who had gone into the mountains to hunt.
Two years ago, there were only black bears and South China tigers left in this mountain. Later, he killed a black bear, and the black bear cubs and the South China tiger disappeared. The group of jackals are rarely seen now, as they seem to have moved deeper into the mountains.
In this mountain, the most common large animal is the wild boar, and the most common small animal is the hare. Both of these are species that reproduce very quickly.
Black Tiger and the Elf were both very human and knew what the gunshots meant, so they stayed where they were obediently. Gao Mingcheng followed the sound and quietly went over to check.
He was familiar with the conditions in the mountains and forests, and was able to hide while moving quickly. Soon, he saw a group of people in the distance.
The group consisted of three people and five dogs. The three of them were holding hunting rifles and had daggers on their waists. The previous shot did not hit a wild boar, but a rabbit.
Gao Mingcheng watched them put the hares into the bags they carried with them and then continue their journey into the mountains.
Because the other party had five dogs, Gao Mingcheng did not continue to follow.
Those three people were all strangers, at least Gao Mingcheng didn't know them. But judging from their faces, they didn't look like vicious people. They might be people from other villages who came into the mountains to hunt.
This mountain is not unique to Gaojia Village. Niuweiling does belong to Gaojia Village, but after crossing Niuweiling, it no longer belongs to Gaojia Village.
These mountains are endless and overlapping, and there is more or less a natural village at the foot of each mountain.
As far as Gao Mingcheng knows, there are Kengli Village, Huanglin Village, and Majia Village nearby.
Gao Mingcheng was too lazy to guess which village they were from. After meeting and recognizing their faces, he turned back.
The mountain is so big, and there is no law that stipulates that only Gao Mingcheng can go into the mountain to hunt, so he is calm and lets everyone hunt on their own.
Returning to the previous place, Gao Mingcheng continued to signal the two dogs to look for traces of the wild boar, but consciously avoided the direction where the group of people were.
After searching in the mountains for another half an hour, I finally made a discovery.
Seeing the black tiger and the elf barking at a crevice in the rocks, Gao Mingcheng fell silent.
The gap between the rocks is so small that even if there is a wild boar inside, it can't get in!
But the elf was more clever. It wagged its tail, went around the rocks, came to the other side, and called out towards the cave entrance.
The entrance to the cave was not big, at least Gao Mingcheng couldn't get in, but Black Tiger and the elf could.
When the black tiger and the elf rushed into the cave, Gao Mingcheng immediately heard the sound of a wild boar. Just by listening to the sound, he knew it was a piglet!
Sure enough, after a while, the five piglets were driven out by the two dogs.
Wild boars are actually very timid and afraid of being frightened, and they lack endurance. All of these are reflected in the piglets. These five piglets were probably born in autumn, so they are quite small.
Generally speaking, sows mate in late autumn and early winter and give birth in the spring of the following year. However, sows in their peak reproductive period will give birth twice a year, once in the spring and once in the autumn.
Seeing the black tiger and the elf bullying the five little pigs, Gao Mingcheng did not stop them. He did not intend to kill these pigs. Although the piglets were tender and delicious, there was not much meat!
There are a lot of people coming and going at home, and we have five dogs, so the more meat the better.
The reason why he didn't stop or leave was that he was waiting for the piglet to perform the summoning spell!
If ordinary people find wild boar piglets in the wild, don’t just think of taking them home to raise for fun because they are cute and have no killing power. These piglets have the power of summoning!
If you take the piglet down the mountain and wait for the summoning spell to take effect, a group of wild boars will rush into your house in the middle of the night!
The five little pigs tried to escape in panic, but the black tiger and the elf intercepted them in time and trapped them in one place to prevent them from escaping. The scared little pigs kept screaming.
As the piglet's cry rang out in the mountains and forests, there seemed to be a response in the distance!
Gao Mingcheng's ears moved and he immediately stood up straight, holding the javelin tightly in his hand.
This hunt was different from the previous ones. Most of the time before, Gao Mingcheng would hide in the dark and launch sneak attacks. He had good accuracy in throwing his spear and was very strong, so he could kill with one shot.
But now, he has to fight head-on with the wild boar summoned back by the piglet.
Although there is a certain degree of danger, men are born to like adventure. At this moment, Gao Mingcheng only felt his blood boiling and was very much looking forward to it.
Soon, the pigs trampled on the mountains and forests, making a lot of noise.
When Gao Mingcheng saw the posture, his muscles tensed up.
"Black Tiger, Elf, you go first!" Gao Mingcheng gave orders to the two dogs.
When the pigs get angry, Black Tiger and the elves can't handle it at all!
Black Tiger and the Elf hesitated for a moment, but after Gao Mingcheng gave the order again, they obeyed and ran away first.
As soon as they left, the group of pigs summoned by the little pig arrived at the battlefield!
Gao Mingcheng had been ready for a long time. After seeing the target clearly, he thrust the javelin in his hand forward quickly.
When wild boars run, they walk in a straight line, so when Gao Mingcheng throws his spear, don't predict which direction they will turn, just throw!
Of course, if a person is being chased by a wild boar in the mountains, he has to run in an S line. Running in a straight line is seeking death!
After a whoosh, a wild boar fell to the ground with a bang, but the group of pigs were already angry, so they naturally would not disperse, but continued to rush towards Gao Mingcheng.
Gao Mingcheng was well prepared. He immediately started running in an S-shaped line, and specifically looked for places that were difficult to run, and walked the group of pigs away from the direction where the two dogs left.
He was very agile and with a light leap he could leap onto a protruding rock on the cliff. With another leap he crossed a ravine, then reached out and climbed up the tree nimbly.
Although there were a lot of movements, they were very fast, and the wild boar was not good at turning while running, so it was difficult for it to catch up with Gao Mingcheng.
Even one of the wild boars accidentally fell into a ditch. Although it did not die, it seemed to be injured.
The tree that Gao Mingcheng climbed was a camphor tree, at least ten years old. The trunk was thick and the branches began to fork at about two meters high. Gao Mingcheng followed the forked branches and climbed up again.
At this moment, he was high above, with a smile on his face, watching the group of pigs chasing after the tree breathlessly.
But it is well known that wild boars do not climb trees!
Therefore, when ordinary people encounter wild boars in the wild, if they can climb a tree, they should climb the tree as soon as possible. It is important to note that they should climb big trees, not small trees.
Small trees are not very resilient and are easily broken by wild boars.
The tree that Gao Mingcheng climbed was thick and tall enough, so no matter how angry the wild boars were, they could not do anything to him.
Not until then did Gao Mingcheng have the energy to count the number of wild boars. There were not too many, only seven. Including those that had fallen into the ditch before, there were eight in total.
Oh, no, if you count the wild boar he killed, there should be nine!
If we include the piglets, the family is not small.
At this time, the wild boars were besieging the tree angrily, but they could do nothing to Gao Mingcheng who was on the tree. Gao Mingcheng teased them for a while, looked around, walked along a branch, and then jumped to another tree. He kept jumping like this and soon avoided the wild boars' siege. After finding the way, he continued to run in an S-shaped line to walk the wild boars.
Although wild boars are fierce, they have poor endurance. After walking them around for a while, Gao Mingcheng can go back to pick up his spoils. (End of this chapter)
