Chapter 149 The Origin of the Wild Boar
With the intervention of Director Wang, the distribution of wild boars became much simpler.
Looking at the little wild boar weighing more than 130 kilograms in front of them, the Wang family was a little worried because Wang Xiaohu didn't know how to deal with it.
"I kill people often, so I think killing pigs is similar. How about I bleed the pig first and then kill it?" Wang Xiaohu took out a small dagger. No matter what animal it was, he could just cut the aorta and the blood would be drained out naturally.
"Mom, didn't you learn how to cook from Sha Zhu? Didn't you learn how to cut pork?" Wang Xiaolong got a rope and tied up the wild boar tightly.
Zhang Lanxi came out with a grindstone in hand: "We haven't learned everything yet, and what we're learning are home cooking, very common methods. I don't think Shazhu will teach us how to butcher a pig."
"Then do whatever you want. I don't want to ask Sha Zhu to do it." Wang Xiaohu took the grindstone, measured the size of the wild boar, and continued, "I am also good at removing tendons and skinning. If you really can't do it, just throw away the wild boar's head and internal organs."
Wild boars are not like domestic pigs that eat everything. The little tiger, the king of water, doesn't like their skin and doesn't want it either, as it is very rough. There is nothing tasty about wild boar heads either.
"I think it's okay. If we remove these, there will be a lot of meat left and we can eat it with peace of mind." Wang Dalu also thinks this is a good idea. He believes that the safety of the food for his family is the best.
"The meat yield of pigs is about 70%, wild boars are less, and small wild boars are even fewer. I estimate it to be 50%, which means about 60 kilograms of pure meat is already very good." Wang Xiaohu said as he sharpened the knife to ensure its sharpness because the wild boar skin is too thick.
"That's enough. I think we should pickle some bacon and keep half of it for Chinese New Year. I heard that the food quota will be restored in the last month of this year. Let's have a good year." Wang Xiaolong said excitedly. There was no place to buy 60 kilograms of meat even though he wanted to.
"Leave three pounds for lunch, and pickle the rest. Just like last time, add more spices, otherwise the fishy smell won't be suppressed." Wang Xiaohu shook his head. The wild boar has not been castrated, so it doesn't taste good because it doesn't have the aroma of a castrated pig.
But it is meat after all, and people are not picky nowadays, so it is better to have it than not.
At the same time, wild boars were being slaughtered in the yard. Of course, this job was given to the cook, Sha Zhu. He looked at Xu Damao proudly, knowing that he still had to rely on him at the critical moment.
Sha Zhu's craftsmanship was very good, and the children all gathered around to watch. The adults had to pull the children aside.
"Children can't look at blood."
"It's unlucky. Wait until the pig is killed before going there."
"We'll have pig-killing dishes to eat later."
Yan Bugui stood aside and calculated the weight and how to distribute it. If you were to say who was the fairest person in the hospital, he would be the one who was fair to the core, the kind of person who was stingy to the core.
Because if others got an extra ounce of meat, then on average he would have one cent less, and even a cent less would not do him any good! So he would be very even, and that was Yan Bugui.
When the pork was divided, each family would have about 2 jin liang qian... If it weren't for the difficulty in counting the units at the back, Yan Bugui would have gotten a penny...
"Zhu Zi, the remaining water and sewage must be cleaned up, and the stewing time must be longer." Yi Zhonghai took the meat without hesitation. Everyone in the hospital had some, and if he was the only one who didn't take one, it would be too pretentious.
"Of course. Wild boar meat is very organoleptic. Please make sure everyone cooks it thoroughly before eating." As a cook, Sha Zhu also knows how to prepare game. The leaders of the steel mill eat a lot of pheasants and wild boars. If the food is not cooked well, it can make people sick for several days.
……
The street office also distributed the meat, with each household getting seven taels of meat. The entire Nanluoguxiang was in a frenzy, causing people outside to become jealous, and they all complained about why the wild boars didn't rush into their streets!
"Why did the wild boar run away? And it even rushed into Nanluoguxiang. All our efforts were in vain!" A man shouted angrily in a small courtyard outside Nanluoguxiang.
"Brother Mo, our brothers didn't expect that the wild boar would wake up all of a sudden. The medicine we used can make even an elephant sleep for several days." One of the men felt aggrieved. He didn't want to do this either. He had finally killed a group of wild boars and was hoping to sell them to have a good year.
"Lao Mo, don't blame the brothers. There has been food poisoning in our courtyard recently, and we can't eat game like wild boar." At this time, a handsome and gentle man walked in from outside.
"Brother Lu, you really know how to comfort people." Lao Mo nodded with a wry smile. Well, he had to play the good guy in front of his brothers.
"I still have some money here. Take it and let my brother have a good New Year. After the New Year starts, I will find a way to make money."
"How can this be possible? No merit, no reward!"
"Mo Changsha! Do you still regard me, Lu Zhixiang, as your brother? If we are brothers, then take it. You are whining like a woman, which is disgusting." Lu Zhixiang pretended to be angry and stuffed the two hundred yuan in his hand into Mo Changsha's hand.
"You don't celebrate the New Year, and you want your brothers not to celebrate the New Year?"
"This... I'll take it first. When the new year comes, I will definitely hunt more prey and give it back to you." Mo Changsha was no longer polite. He also understood that the man in front of him was a man of his word.
"That's right. These are the brothers I grew up with. Why are we so clear about the differences? Let's go to the state-owned restaurant for dinner." Lu Zhixiang put his arm around Mo Changsha's shoulder and said with a smile.
"Is everything okay at home? Today is your day off, so you won't be with your two younger brothers?" Mo Changsha knew that Lu Zhixiang loved his two younger brothers very much, and it was difficult for him to see them on his day off.
"I don't know what's wrong with these two brats Lu Kangmei and Lu Yuanchao recently. They often go out to play with their classmates. One of them went out early this morning and said he was going to eat fried dough cakes with his classmates. I guess he's still having lunch with his grandparents at noon today." Lu Zhixiang's eyes were full of love when he talked about his two younger brothers.
"Children are close to each other."
"Let's not talk about this. We're having pork for lunch today. Since we can't have wild boar meat, we'll have braised pork from our own farm~"
A group of five people walked towards the Chengdong State-owned Hotel.
……
"It's divided, and it's up to you to do the rest." Wang Xiaohu also wanted to see how Zhang Hailian and Zhang Lanxi were doing with Sha Zhu recently.
"Leave it to us." Zhang Lanxi happily took the three pounds of pork belly, which was specially left by Wang Xiaohu. The meat from this part will not become tough no matter how it is cooked and is very delicious.
"I'm going to throw these scraps away."
"I'll help you." Wang Xiaolong also stepped forward and picked up a plate of pig intestines.
Wang Xiaohu picked up the pig's head. It was hairy and had fangs. It looked quite disgusting, and the bad breath was too strong.
Domesticated ones are completely different from wild ones.
The behavior of the two immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the front yard, and Yan Bugui rushed up first.
"Xiaolong and Xiaohu, are you brothers preparing to go out and deal with the sewage?" After Yan Bugui divided the meat, he was waiting for the situation of Old Wang's family. He had just overheard that the Wang family did not want the sewage. This was a good opportunity.
"We plan to find a place to bury it. These things are too troublesome to deal with." Wang Xiaolong was actually not sure. He knew that there would probably be no problem if he boiled it for a longer time, but since Xiaohu said no, then so be it.
"You don't want it, but I do. Give it to me, I'll help you deal with it and give you half later." Yan Bugui didn't believe it and buried it like that. After all, it was meat.
"Uncle, it's not right to eat alone. We want some too." Seeing this, other people in the yard echoed.
