BXBX NOVEL Chapter 57: there is meat to eat
A sow weighing 250 to 60 catties has gone to the store, and there are nearly 200 catties left.
Autumn is the time when wild boars are fattening. The walnuts, scallions, hazelnuts, jujubes, etc. in the mountains are full of food, so don’t you just save a belly of fat for the winter?
This is a good time, it all falls to Xu Shiyan.
Xu Shiyan cut off all the sacs under the pig\'s belly and piled them up in a porcelain basin.
Nowadays, what people love most is fat meat, and these are good things.
"Daughter-in-law, in a while you\'ll be cutting out these saccharine fat meat."
Xu Shiyan just finished dividing the meat here, and Su Anying also came back after feeding the dog, Xu Shiyan pointed to the fat in the basin and said.
"Let\'s keep a portion of the waist and back on the mountain. When the second brother or the fifth brother go to work on the mountain, let them take some back home."
Xu Shiyan said as he put the meat back together, put it in a basin and put it in a cool place.
There is so much meat, how can the couple eat it all?
At this time, the snow has not yet fallen and frozen. Although the temperature is quite low, the meat cannot be preserved for too long.
There are still several months before the slaughter of pigs during the Chinese New Year. Who doesn\'t feel uncomfortable?
Wild boar meat is also meat. Now that I have met it, I can’t enjoy it alone. I always give some to my family.
Su Anying doesn\'t care what Xu Shiyan arranges.
Once you get good things, you should respect the elderly. This is your duty.
No matter how unreasonable Xu Chenghou is, he is still an elder, and they have to do what they should do.
So, Su Anying took the knife, and started to cut the meat quickly, cutting all the fat meat into pieces of the same size.
After cutting, fire at the bottom of the pot, add half a scoop of water to the pot, then pour the fat into the pot, and put a little salt.
As the temperature of the bottom of the pot rises, the fat in the pot is also cooked.
When the water in the pot evaporates almost, no more firewood is added to the bottom of the pot, and the fire is slowly boiled like this.
The original fat gradually turned golden yellow, and there was a layer of clear oil on the bottom of the pot, and a smell of burnt aroma also came out, which made people sniff.
Su Anying pushed the fat all around with a spoon, and then scooped out the oil one by one.
The surrounding fat continued to produce oil, and made a sizzling sound, which sounded very pleasant.
Natives, tube plate oil or the substance left after fat refining is called Youzila, because this thing makes such a sound during the refining process.
With the continuous precipitation of oil, the oil becomes smaller and smaller, and finally becomes crispy and burnt.
Su Anying took a shovel and squeezed the oil hard, making sure that the oil content was almost controlled, and then quickly poured the oil into a small basin.
After all, it is a wild boar, which cannot be compared with domestic pigs. The fat of this wild boar is finally refined into a small jar of oil, and there is a small pot of oil.
The oil was refined in the pot, and the oil was so bright that Su Anying couldn\'t bear to wash the pot directly.
So I quickly peeled some potatoes, cut a few slices of meat, stewed it in a pot, and pasted pancakes on the side of the pot.
After finishing all these tasks, it was almost seven o\'clock.
Before the couple had eaten, they heard a commotion outside. Needless to say, he must have come up the mountain to work.
"Third brother, third brother, what are you doing and haven\'t left the house yet? Could it be that you are still sleeping with your wife in your arms?"
How can young people have so many taboos? A few young men who got along well with Xu Shiyan came to Xiaofang carrying things, chatting and laughing.
Xu Shiyan pushed the door and came out, "Shut up, don\'t talk nonsense, your sister-in-law is thin-skinned and annoyed her, be careful not to serve you hot meals at noon."
As soon as the door was opened, the aroma in the kitchen wafted out, and Yang Chunming and Zhao Jianshe and the others sniffed their noses twice.
"Third brother, what delicious food do you two cook? Why does it smell like meat?
Oh, you two are living a good life, and there is still meat to eat on the mountain. "
Zhao Jianshe was younger and had an out-of-the-ordinary temperament and liked to joke, so he asked loudly at this time.
Xu Shiyan glared at Zhao Jianshe, "You have such a loud voice, isn\'t it uncomfortable not to shout?"
They are all very good brothers, and they don’t need to worry too much about speaking.
"Last night, a wild boar ran into the ground gun I installed, and by coincidence, it hit the eye."
I found out when I was dragging the wild boar this morning that one eye of the wild boar was beaten blind.
"The one who ran around and bumped into the trap fell into the trap again. I went and dragged it up this morning." Xu Shiyan explained a few words casually.
"When you go home in the afternoon, don\'t forget to come and pick up a piece of meat, and go back to let the family satisfy their hunger."
Youdao means that mountain wealth cannot be enjoyed exclusively, not to mention brothers who get along so well, there are always some good things to score.
Zhao Jianshe was overjoyed when he heard it, "Third Brother, aren\'t you too good? You only came to the mountain for a day, and you got a wild boar?"
When I was happy, I couldn\'t control my voice.
"Yes, you can shout vigorously, and wait to call others over. Your share of meat will be snatched away, I don\'t care."
Good things are given to everyone, and friends don’t feel bad when they take them away. Xu Shiyan is not so generous if it is replaced by others.
Zhao Jianshe shrank his shoulders when he heard the words, raised his hands and scratched his head, laughing.
"I was wrong, third brother, I was wrong, but don\'t give the meat to others."
It is not easy to eat meat once a month this year. Even if the family raises pigs, they will have to kill them during the Chinese New Year.
And if you kill it, you have to sell half of it to the supply and marketing cooperative, and the rest can be eaten by yourself.
Even this half pig, it is impossible to open it up and eat it. It has to be kept for Chinese New Year hospitality, and some must be preserved for pickling or air-dried to eat slowly.
Seeing that bit of meat all year round, who wouldn\'t be greedy? Zhao Jianshe was afraid that Xu Shiyan really gave the meat to others, so he hurriedly begged for mercy.
Xu Shiyan was just trying to frighten Zhao Jianshe. If there are no others, he should send some to the Zhao family.
"Why didn\'t you see our second and fifth children? What did they do? They didn\'t come to the mountain today?"
Xu Shiyan took a few glances outside, but he didn\'t see Xu Shian and Xu Shixiang, so he couldn\'t help being curious.
"Oh, Second Brother Xu is doing other work today. Your fifth child is going to sign up for the college entrance examination. He said he is studying at home, so he won\'t come." Yang Chunming spoke over there.
"Aunt Xu asked us to bring these, saying that she was afraid that you would have no food to eat on the mountain."
Yang Chunming pointed to the two bags on the ground, which contained cabbage, radishes, potatoes and pumpkins.
It was precisely because Zhou Guilan asked them to bring these dishes that they didn\'t go to work directly, but went straight to the small room.
"Third brother, let\'s go to work first.
They all said that the weather might change recently, and the captain said that he must hurry up and plant a stick, so as not to snow or freeze. "
There is still a lot of work to be done in Shendi, and Yang Chunming and Zhao Jianshe didn\'t have time to stay for long. After a few words, they hurried to work.
Yang Chunming and Yang Chunming left, Xu Shiyan moved the vegetables brought by the family to the warehouse, then turned and went back to the house, and had breakfast with Su Anying.
Stewed potatoes with oily slices of meat, pancakes with salty and oily water, and a piece of fragrant and crispy oil. There is no one in these days.
As for eating something so oily early in the morning, is it okay? Who cares, as long as there is something to eat, what do you care about?
Oil residue, oil shuttle, oil stains, I don’t know what you call them.
