Chapter 411 The most important thing in life is just a few words
ah?
Xu Zijin didn't understand for a moment: "Kill a pig? Kill what pig?"
"Wild boar!"
Gu Rushong's big face was full of smiles: "Sister-in-law, we are so lucky today!"
"You can't even imagine it. We had just brought the firewood down the mountain and were about to leave when several wild boars fell off the cliff."
"Four in total!"
Gu Rushong stretched out four fingers and gestured: "The smallest one weighs about 70 to 80 kilograms, and the largest one weighs about 200 kilograms."
Xu Zijin: “…”
——Oh my god, her good luck card works again!
Lu Hanzhou said that if you want to chop good kindling, you have to go deep into the mountains, because all the good firewood in the front mountain has been chopped down.
When Xu Zijin went out, he asked him to take the good luck card with him.
Lu Hanzhou did not refuse. He was thinking, the New Year is coming soon, let's see if he can bring some game back by taking it with him.
I didn’t expect this lucky card to be so awesome!
If meat suddenly falls from the sky, you don't even have to go hunting.
Then, if you want to eat meat, just go up the mountain a few times and you will have some, right?
Hahaha~~~
Xu Zijin was so happy: "Drink some water first, then work."
After drinking some water, the soldiers helped unload the firewood from the cart, ate their meal, and then left with the food that Xu Zijin had packed.
At 3:30 in the afternoon, Lu Hanzhou came back with two soldiers, pushing a dump truck.
The car was covered with two sacks, on which some firewood was piled.
A dump truck was pushed in from behind the kitchen, with firewood on top and a whole big wild boar underneath.
Xu Zijin opened his mouth and said, "Bringing so much back... isn't that bad?"
Gu Rushong immediately said, "Sister-in-law, this one is not the biggest one. Besides, it was originally picked up by the battalion commander. It's okay to take them all back."
Gu Rushong did not say this just to please his battalion commander; this is the truth.
The person who discovered that the wild boar had fallen was indeed Lu Hanzhou.
At that time, the soldiers only heard a loud noise around them and did not realize that a wild boar fell down.
Lu Hanzhou was the first to rush over. Several soldiers followed the battalion commander to the wild boar, still with a blank look on their faces.
There is now an influx of wild boars in the mountains, so whoever picks up a dead wild boar will naturally own it.
In this era, there are no national regulations to protect them.
However, Lu Hanzhou is not such a person.
He brought back only a quarter.
"How to deal with it so that it can be preserved for a long time? You tell us and we will do it."
There is meat, but how can you not know how to prepare it?
Xu Zijin was not polite either.
"Chop some of that lean meat into small pieces so I can make some sausages and luncheon meat."
"Cut these into smaller pieces and cook them together with the pig's head and trotters in the pot for half an hour."
"Then we take it out and salt it for a day, and then dry it in the sun for half a day to make bacon."
Wild boars are animals that eat raw food, and their meat is not as delicious as domestic pork.
Add some star anise, soy sauce, cooking wine and ginger when cooking to remove the mutton smell.
"Okay, let's do it."
It took four people an entire afternoon to cook and marinate the meat and stuff the sausages.
It was almost time for dinner when the two soldiers returned to the camp.
Xu Zijin wanted them to stay for dinner before leaving, but the two refused, saying that they would have a big meal in the camp tonight.
There was a lot of meat, so Xu Zijin made a honey-glazed pork chop for the children in the evening, plus a pot of pork bone and winter melon soup.
As expected, it received the support of three little ones...
“It’s delicious, Auntie!”
——Who is more delicious, me or the pork chop?
Xu Zijin glanced at Liu Zilin and said with a twitch of his face: "Eat it. I'll make you salt and pepper pork chops next time."
"Ohhh, Auntie, I love you!"
Liu Zilin cheered.
As soon as these words fell, Lu Hanzhou's face turned dark.
He glared at Liu Zilin: You little bastard, why do you like my wife so much?
Liu Ziwang and Liu Ziming didn't say anything, but their mouths were bulging with food, like two little mice.
After dinner, Lu Hanzhou went to wash the dishes.
The three children cleaned the dining room, and Xu Zijin went to Wang's house first with a basket.
Chen Xiumei was stunned when she saw a large piece of meat, two ribs and a pig's foot.
It took me a while to come back to my senses...
"No, no, no, that's too much, too much. Since you're so polite, I'll just take two chops."
Xu Zijin glared at her and said, "Alright, you, sister-in-law Qi Hong, and Ye Lin, each have one."
“I won’t give it to anyone else.”
"Lu Hanzhou picked it up from the mountain when he went to chop wood today. The wild boar fell off the cliff and died by itself."
"It's a whole head. Take it."
"I also made some sausages and will make some dried meat later. I will give them to the children when they are ready."
At this point, Chen Xiumei had no choice but to take it and carefully carried it into the kitchen.
She didn't want her child to know, because if the child didn't control his mouth and told others about it, people would be jealous of her sisters. It's so difficult to eat meat these days.
The human heart is hard to measure, and anything can happen to it.
Don't cause trouble for your sisters.
After leaving Wang's house, Xu Zijin went to Ding's house again...
Qi Hong lowered her voice and said, "Zijin, didn't the battalion commander send five pounds of meat and a pig's head over?"
"Why are you sending it again? I already have one at home."
Gu Rushong told Xu Zijin in the afternoon that Lu Hanzhou had instructed the instructor and the deputy battalion commander to give each of them five pounds of meat and a pig's head.
In addition, each family of several regiment leaders received five pounds of meat and two pig's feet.
These were all sent secretly by the soldiers.
Although every unit will kill wild animals during field training, a few wild boars are not uncommon.
But Lu Hanzhou kept a low profile and didn't want people to talk about him.
After hearing Qi Hong's words, Xu Zijin smiled softly and said, "He is him, and I am me. Next, this opportunity is rare."
Of course Qi Hong knew about the wild boar.
If you meet a selfish person who doesn't give to the camp, who can say anything?
She breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Okay, I'll take it."
"I'll make braised pig's head tomorrow, so you'll have one less dish to prepare tomorrow night."
Xu Zijin was not polite: "Okay, then we'll have fried pork head with garlic sprouts tomorrow night."
After returning from Ding's house, she called Ye Lin again and asked her to come over and give her the things.
By the time all this was done, Lu Hanzhou had already cleaned up the kitchen.
"Wife, how do you make this luncheon meat?"
Xu Zijin entered the kitchen, tying her apron as she walked: "It's very simple, I'll do it."
After preparing the seasonings and adding all the minced meat, the task of stirring was given to Lu Hanzhou.
Taking advantage of the free time, she found a few large aluminum lunch boxes and brushed them with oil.
"Is it ready?"
The man was very strong and in no time he had mixed the meat and seasonings.
Xu Zijin picked up a lump and looked at it: "It's OK, put it in a box."
The main ingredients of luncheon meat are meat and starch. After seasoning, steam it and then pour it out to dry.
Once it's completely cool, the luncheon meat is ready.
It is winter now. It snowed a few days ago. Xu Zijin filled a large jar of snow and buried it underground, which came in handy.
Seeing her bury the cold luncheon meat in the snow jar, Lu Hanzhou couldn't help but admire his wife's brain for being able to come up with such an idea.
"Then the jerky should be left to dry on its own?"
Xu Zijin nodded: "Don't worry, just use a fan to blow it overnight, bake it over a fire for half a day tomorrow morning, and steam it in the afternoon and you can eat it."
