Chapter 157: Raising Pigs

When Jiang Cuihua heard that her daughter's family had hunted a wild boar, she hurried over to see what was going on.

The Liu brothers have already gone to the mountain with Gu to move wild boars to make traps.

Jiang Cuihua was shocked when she saw the big wild boar in the yard: "...Where did you hunt such a big wild boar? Did you go deep into the mountains?"

There have never been any wild boars on the nearby hills. And even if there are wild boars, it’s impossible for the daughter-in-law and son-in-law to encounter them as soon as they go to the hills, right?

What a coincidence.

"No." Liu Yinyin laughed, "I just happened to run into it when I was chopping wood in the mountains. Maybe there were fewer people chopping wood, and the wild boar thought there was no one there, so it made its nest there and settled down."

Jiang Cuihua sighed and wondered, "I can't control you anymore, just take it easy."

She didn't quite believe what Liu Yinyin said. Jiang Cuihua could see that the girl was not the kind of person who would stay at home obediently. She liked to mess around outside.

It wasn't that she thought the girl was doing something wrong, she was just worried about the negative impact.

"Don't worry, Mom. I know what I'm doing." Liu Yinyin is not someone who would act recklessly.

The lady had her own ideas, so Jiang Cuihua didn't mention the matter anymore. Her eyes fell on the big wild boar.

"What are you going to do with this wild boar? Or are you going to take it to the county town to exchange for supplies as before?" Jiang Cuihua asked.

During the Chinese New Year, the girl's family had already dried a lot of bacon and sausages, and now there was such a big wild boar, and they couldn't finish the pork.

There is no need to make bacon.

Speaking of this, Jiang Cuihua was also very happy. The young lady's family had so much meat that they couldn't finish it. There were not many families like this in the village, let alone the entire county, right?

Liu Yinyin pondered, "Let's ask Gu Cheng later. I guess it needs to be pickled with salt. Otherwise, there's so much pork that we won't be able to exchange it all in a short time."

Although it's not summer yet, the weather is already hot and humid.

If you don't marinate it with salt, it will go bad tomorrow.

Jiang Cuihua nodded and said, "That's right. I'll come over to help you later."

Liu Yinyin opened her mouth to say something. Jiang Cuihua didn't know there was a big wild boar on the mountain. If she knew...

I don't know whether she will be happy or shocked.

Speaking of wild boars, Jiang Cuihua thought of another thing. She asked Liu Yinyin, "The village chief told everyone today that a batch of piglets will arrive in the village tomorrow. Will you still raise pigs this year?"

According to her idea, there is no need for the lady's family to raise pigs this year since they will not be short of meat.

Besides, the weather is dry this year, so even if we get piglets, we may not be able to raise them.

well!

In this world, it is better to avoid trouble if you can.

Liu Yinyin thought of what Huang Xiaoyue had told her last time, and instead of answering, she asked, "Mom, do you raise pigs at home?"

If you don't want to raise one, then forget it. There is enough meat at home for us to eat.

If she wanted fresh meat, she could get it herself.

Jiang Cuihua felt a little headache: "Just take one and raise it."

In fact, Jiang Cuihua didn't want to raise any pigs, but her family was really poor and she couldn't just live off the savings.

Take a piglet and raise it. If you really have nothing to feed it, hand it over to the group immediately.

This way, you won't lose money, and if you can support yourself, that would be even better.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yinyin tentatively said, "Mom, how about... I also take a piglet and raise it with you? I want to raise pigs for meat."

She would not let Jiang Cuihua help her raise pigs for nothing. She would deliver the pigs' food and give her corresponding compensation.

The daughter wanted her to help raise the pigs, and Jiang Cuihua agreed without hesitation: "Okay, just let me raise them. When I buy piglets, I'll help you get one more."

My daughter usually helps the Liu family a lot. She just helps her raise a pig, which is not a difficult task. How could Jiang Cuihua not agree to it.

By noon, Gu Cheng and his team still hadn't returned.

Thinking that they had more people and Gu Cheng had means to save his life.

Liu Yinyin wasn't really worried about them.

For lunch, Liu Yinyin steamed some bacon and sausage, and made some hot and sour shredded potatoes and some cold shepherd's purse.

Liu Yinyin dug up tender shepherd's purse, which she first soaked in salt water and then blanched in salt and oil.

Blanch the shepherd's purse, add minced garlic and chili, and drizzle with hot oil to bring out the aroma.

Add salt, chicken essence, sugar and light soy sauce and mix well.

The cold shepherd's purse is crisp and refreshing, and it is appetizing. Liu Yinyin likes it very much.

The staple food is corn cobs.

I cooked a bowl of vegetable and egg noodles for Gu Yanyan.

Liu Yinyin accompanied the little guy to finish eating noodles, and Gu Cheng and his friends had not returned yet.

Although I know they shouldn't be in any danger.

But since he hasn't come back for such a long time, Liu Yinyin couldn't help but feel a little worried.

I thought, wait a little longer, in case they haven’t come back yet.

Liu Yinyin went to find Liu Changquan and asked him to take some people to the mountain to look for someone.

It doesn't matter even if they discover the wild boar's secret, as long as everyone is safe.

Fortunately, not long after, Gu Cheng and the Liu brothers finally came back.

I didn't see many people carrying wild boars.

However, they did carry a few backpacks down the mountain.

At first glance, Liu Yinyin discovered that several people had already cut the wild boar into pieces.

It turned out that in order to avoid attracting attention, they put the pork in a basket and carried it back.

As a result, except for the Liu brothers, everyone else in the village thought that Liu Yinyin's family only got a wild boar.

Gu Cheng said: "We have dug several traps on the mountain. We have to go to the mountain again in the afternoon."

Once you have dug a trap, you have to check it often. Otherwise, even if there is prey, it will become rotten in the trap in such hot weather.

Liu Yinyin blushed and said, "...What should we do with this wild boar meat?"

There are six or seven hundred kilograms of wild boar, which is definitely not enough to eat.

Gu Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Let's marinate it with salt first."

He didn't have time to send the wild boar meat to the county town to sell today, so he could only pickle it into salted meat and save it for later sale.

Marinating so much meat is a big project and requires a lot of salt.

Liu Yinyin likes to stockpile things, so she has a lot of salt at home, so she has enough salt to pickle meat.

However, eating salted meat all the time will make you feel sick. Liu Yinyin thought that she would prepare some sauce later, marinate the meat with the sauce, and then dry it in the sun, so that it can be preserved for a long time.

Moreover, the taste is not bad.

Invited the Liu brothers to have lunch at home.

In the afternoon, they had to go to the mountain together. They were not sure whether there were wild boars in the trap, so it would be safer to go with a few more people.

They were also happy to go to the mountain with Gu Cheng. Anyway, it was dry now and there was no point in them going to the fields to earn work points.

After dinner, several grown men killed a pig and divided the meat.

Liu Yinyin was busy marinating the meat, and Jiang Cuihua also came to help.

The two pigs were dead and there was not much blood.

After removing the hair and blood, there is still about 600 kilograms of pork meat.
