Shen An Ning did not tell his second brother about Lin Yi's coming. It was already this time, and it was meaningless to say anything. Shen An Chen was a straight man when he was young, and even at this age he had no basic concept of love.
Speaking out will only add to your troubles.
With the beginning of spring, the small animals in the mountains began to become active. When Shen Anchen was free, he would take the young people in the village who were learning martial arts with him to the mountains. Every day he would harvest some meat and vegetables for his family.
That day, he took two young men to the mountains and caught a little wild boar. It looked like it was born not long ago in the spring, and the meat was still very tender. Shen Anchen remembered that when he was a child, he had eaten roasted suckling pig with Grandpa Shen, and the taste was still hidden in his taste buds.
After thinking about it, she decided to let her sister Shen Anning deal with the wild boar. It is definitely not possible to roast it in the back mountain, but the Black Mountain is sparsely populated and it is a good place.
Looking at the two children, he said, "How about this, let's hide this first. You go down the mountain first, and I'll bring you the processed meat later, okay?"
It was a matter of taking advantage, so how could the two children disagree? "Brother Anchen, you have been taking care of us these days, so we don't want this piglet. You can't give it to us every day, otherwise there will be trouble at home."
Chen Anchen smiled and said, "I understand. You have more than one child in your family. I'll send you some roast suckling pig to try at night, but it won't be much. You can eat it all by yourselves."
After seeing the two people off, Shen Anchen went home for lunch and mentioned the wild boar hiding in the mountains.
Shen Anyu was the most excited, “Second brother, it really is a wild boar, my God.”
"Yes, your eldest sister and I will go to the mountain to make roast suckling pig this afternoon. You can eat it when you come back from school. Don't get carried away and eat it out. Keep it a secret."
Shen Zixi didn’t know what roast suckling pig was, but when she mentioned eating it, the little girl’s eyes lit up, “It’s delicious, uncle is delicious.”
Because they were thinking about the roast suckling pig, everyone was not very at ease while eating lunch. They always felt like they were missing something. Shen An Ning was made to laugh and cry by the expressions of several people. In desperation, she could only prepare more complete seasonings such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, honey, etc., so as not to disappoint the children.
In order to prevent the gossipers in the village from talking nonsense, Shen Anchen went to the fields to finish the farm work first, while Shen Anning took Shen Zixi and carried a small backpack to the mountain to pick some wild vegetables and herbs.
Around three o'clock in the afternoon, while everyone was busy, Shen Anchen finished his work in the fields, quickly climbed up the mountain, found his sister and niece, and the brother and sister exchanged glances and slowly walked towards Black Mountain.
After the last explosion and a group of grave robbers testing the waters on the Black Mountain, it has become much safer than at the beginning. In addition, Shen Anchen, a soldier who has been walking in the mountains for many years, feels very safe.
After finding a safe place, digging a pit and setting up a stone rack, Shen Anchen cleaned the wild boar, tied it up with wire, brushed it with Shen Anning's secret sauce and honey, and soon after it was roasted on the fire, the sweet smell quickly spread out.
Because the temperature of the fire was relatively high, Shen Anchen turned it over frequently. In less than two hours, it was almost done. The skin was golden and crispy, and the meat was tender and smooth. Shen Anchen took out the knife he brought with him, cut a small piece, blew it cooler, and stuffed it into Shen Zixi's mouth, "Xixi, how is it? Is it delicious?"
"Yeah, it's really delicious." Shen Zixi ate what was in his mouth and looked at what was on the shelf. His little mouth moved, wanting to eat faster.
Looking at her attitude, Shen An Ning could only speak to stop her and said, "Okay, little greedy cat, there's so much, eat slowly, don't choke later, okay?"
Using local materials, he cut the whole pig into pieces and brushed them with oil so that they could be heated up when he got home. Shen An Ning cut a box of meat for his grandparents, adding some crispy skin, and left some for his parents. He wrapped the rest in oil paper and put it in a backpack. Taking advantage of the dark sky, he returned home before everyone got off work.
He had eaten alone before, and never handed over the game he caught from the mountains. But this time, for some reason, perhaps because he had done more preparations, Shen An Ning always felt uneasy, as if he had done something bad and was afraid of being discovered by others. He was both scared and amused.
The pieces of meat wrapped in oil paper were placed directly on the kang to heat it, which not only maintained the temperature but also prevented water vapor from affecting the taste of the meat. Shen Anning also made a dipping sauce with peach crisp chili powder, and the taste was really confusing.
When Shen Anyu and Shen Anxuan came home from school, they just ate meat with steamed buns, their mouths full of oil.
"Wow, big sister, this roast suckling pig tastes so good." Shen Anxuan had eaten pig-killing dishes several times, and she disliked the taste of wild boar meat the most, but today's barbecue was not dry at all, and it was really delicious when paired with sweet chili powder.
"If it's delicious, eat more. It's only because your second brother is here this time. Otherwise, I, your eldest sister, really don't have the ability to prepare a roast suckling pig."
It was just getting dark in the evening, but not yet nightfall. However, there were no people walking around outside. Shen Anchen first sent two boxes of meat to his grandfather's house, letting him and his old friend share it. Then he went to his two younger brothers' houses. Considering that the young boys had big appetites and did not make any money at home, they must not be very full, so he gave each of them half a pig's front leg, which weighed about two or three pounds.
I'm afraid that two people will get diarrhea from eating too much oil and water at once. "If you can't finish the meat, you can keep it for two more days. The temperature is low now. When you eat it again, just find a pit and add some fire to warm it up. Don't eat it all at once and then get diarrhea."
"I know, brother. It smells so good. No, I have to eat something outside before going home. There are so many people in the house who have dog noses. I can't hide at home."
Without paying attention to what the two would do next, Shen Anchen carried the basket on his back and took the small path over the mountains and ridges to deliver barbecue to his parents, brother and sister-in-law.
This is a rare opportunity, so he and his sister naturally hope that everyone in the family can try it.
Shen An Ning wrapped it in oil paper and put it in the lunch box. Although it didn't taste as good as when it was hot after being completely cold, several people still praised it after eating it.
Until mid-April, Shen Anchen went to work every day and earned full work points. The aunts and uncles in the village who worked with him liked him very much. His visit also deterred those idle guys to a great extent. After all, the two girls, Shen Anning and Shen Anxuan, were growing up slowly. If the bad guys really plotted against them behind their backs, they might not be able to get away with it.
