It took several people a lot of effort to drag the two big wild boars to the mountain village.
The two fat wild boars placed in the yard of the Jiangbian family were not spectacular, and they soon caused an unprecedented sensation in the Jiang family group.
Nearly every family in Jiangjia Village went to their homes on the riverside to watch. Even Jiang Huahua couldn¡¯t help but stand on the edge of the riverside yard from a distance and watch.
People in the village were all talking about the two big wild boars.
"Oh, you are really capable. You can also fight back such a big wild boar. How did you fight this?"
"Jie Jie, the big one must weigh at least three hundred kilograms. This wild boar is weighed very well. It's not like the ones raised at home, which are full of fat. The wild boar runs in the mountains every day, and its body is full of lean meat. The riverside is really lucky. He wants to kill such a big wild boar. It takes a year to raise such a big pig, but he got a New Year pig in one day. It¡¯s better to have the ability. "
"That's right. But now that the riverside is booming, people don't rely on wild boar meat, and people have money to buy ready-made food."
"Wild boars are hunted by the river. I think they use a condom, but they don't look like it. There are many wounds on the wild boar, as if it was bitten to death by something. Could it be that it was bitten to death by a leopard, tiger or something in the mountains, and then Picked up ready-made by the river?"
"It should be like this. When they went hunting, I didn't see them carrying guns or anything. When they came back, they dragged back two large wild boars. They must have been picked up in the mountains."
"Fart, you have lived at the foot of Helu Mountain for decades. When have you ever heard that tigers in the mountains attack wild boars? These wild boars are in groups and are ferocious. Tigers would not be stupid enough to attack them. Against the boars.¡±
The riverside man took a knife and slowly peeled off the skins of the two wild boars. After peeling it off, I put it directly on the big flat in the yard. Fortunately, the big flat was covered with thick snow, and there was no dirt on it.
?Then the wild boar is disemboweled and the sewer inside is taken out. The follow-up work is naturally very complicated. However, Jiangbian did it in an orderly manner, which impressed the experts in Banshan Village.
"Hey, the riverside is really nice. People who have been to big cities are just extraordinary."
"This has nothing to do with going to a big city. The Cunhe family has studied in the city for so many years. When they come back, they don't understand anything. Instead, they pretend to be human. Compared with the riverside, what's the difference? neither."
"That's true, but how can he compare with Jiang Bian? When Jiang Bian was in junior high school, if it hadn't been for Principal Wang, he might have been a college student long ago."
Jiangbian is also very strange. When did his grades get better?
The wild boar meat was chopped by the river and half was left. The rest was salted and prepared for smoking bacon.
The wild boar meat that slipped out was prepared by the river to be eaten by oneself or given away to others. The few family members who helped me a few days ago had to give it away. In addition, Liu Huijun's family and Li Yueji's family also wanted to send one or two yuan. , it is estimated that there is not much left.
But this can be regarded as the most prosperous year in Jiangbian.
After arranging all this and looking at the pile of wild boar meat at home, Jiang Bian sighed in his heart, "Dad, why did you leave? Look at our family now, we can't even finish the New Year meat."
In rural areas, bacon is smoked directly with firewood smoke, which is completely different from the so-called bacon sold in the city. Those bacon are all baked, and some even use chemical agents to make the color more beautiful. Naturally, eating it is not only not beneficial, but also harmful to the body. What's more, the meat used in some bacon is not good meat.
When Jiangbian was in Qiantang City, the bacon sold to the people in the city was too much to eat.
Jiang Bian built a rack specifically for smoking meat on top of the kitchen stove.
But it can¡¯t be hung up right now. The pork must be salted for a few days before it can be smoked. Because when smoking, the temperature on the bacon rack is not low. In winter, the stove is almost constantly on fire, and the top is on the fire all the time. If it is not salted, it is easy to produce peculiar smell.
After salting, the moisture in the meat will seep out a lot, which will significantly improve the smoking effect.
Two days later, Jiangbian, Yan Yuan and others put all the wild boar meat to be smoked on the shelves.
No one needs to take care of the bacon, you just need to fill the stove with as much firewood as possible.
Banshan Village used to smoke large pieces of bacon, which looked very heroic, but the problem was also very obvious, that is, it was difficult to smoke the large pieces of bacon thoroughly. Sometimes it looked like the bacon was smoked, but the inside was still there. It was as it was, but in the end, when the weather got hot, a peculiar smell immediately developed.
By the riverside, cut the bacon into two or three kilograms of large and small pieces, and cut the lean meat into small pieces.Cut into thin slices and hang them on the stove. It was covered with a layer of something that would not catch fire easily, and Jiangbian covered it with an iron sheet. If a fire was lit underneath every day, the smoke would cover the bacon.
Since the stoves by the river have been burning almost all the time in the past few days, the surface turned yellow within a day or two. There are thin droplets of oil seeping out from the surface, which looks very attractive.
"Jiangbian, why don't we try the bacon today?" Yan Yuan drooled looking at the yellow bacon.
"No, this bacon hasn't been smoked yet. It doesn't taste like anything when you eat it now, it just smells bad. Wait two days, wait two days and it'll be almost done." Jiang Bian said.
Yan Yuan was a little disappointed, "That's it. Forget it. But I really want to try the taste of this bacon. It should be much better than the bacon in the city."
"It goes without saying that the bacon bought in the city is not real bacon, right? Also, even if it is real bacon, it may be more delicious than the wild boar meat by the river. You see, there is no fat at all." Xiao Yalin said .
"Yan Yuan, you are such a mouthful! You don't do anything. You just want to eat good food every day. Please go and wash the cabbage for me, and wash some radishes by the way. Today I want to eat radish stew. Spare ribs. I haven¡¯t eaten wild boar ribs yet.¡± Liu Ruxuan shouted loudly.
Yan Yuan murmured softly, "How did I become such a mouthful? It was obviously you who asked me to tell Jiangbian."
This time Yan Yuan really took the blame for Liu Ruxuan.
Although Yan Yuan spoke very quietly, he was still heard by the riverside.
After Jiangbian heard this, he smiled slightly, reached out and took out a piece of bacon from the bacon rack that was still slightly smoked. Prepare to eat it at noon. You don¡¯t have to pay so much attention to it anyway. Since everyone wants to eat it, why do you have to smoke it black before eating it?
Yan Yuan was very obedient. He carried a bamboo basket with a cabbage and a few radishes in it, and went to the well outside the kitchen by the river to wash it.
The house on the riverside has just installed tap water, but the tap water pipes are frozen and frozen. In the past few days, the water has been brought from the well.
The good thing about this well is that the water temperature remains constant, so it feels warm in winter and cool in summer. In winter, there is a layer of water mist on the surface of the well, making it look very misty.
Yan Yuan felt refreshed when he went to the well to wash vegetables.
When I put my hand into the well, it felt warm. "Hey, it's amazing. The water in this well is hot. Is this a hot spring?"
In fact, the water in this well only has a temperature of 0 to 4 degrees Celsius. When you touch it with your hands, it is just a little different from the temperature. If you wash vegetables in this well, you will feel very comfortable while washing, but after washing, the biting cold feeling will be unforgettable for everyone.
Yan Yuan struggled for a long time before washing the cabbage cleanly, and then also washed a few radishes.
When he was about to leave, Yan Yuan discovered that his hands were frozen and his fingers seemed to have lost their intuition and could not move. The wet areas on the body felt as if they were frozen.
Yan Yuan hurriedly ran back home carrying cabbage and radish, threw the bamboo basket on the ground, ran to the stove and put his hand directly on the fire to roast.
"Yan Yuan, do you feel that the bacon at Jiangbian's house has been smoked less? Are you planning to smoke two more pig feet?" Liu Ruxuan said with a smile.
"It's hard to ignore you, my hands are frozen stiff. If they are frozen, you will have to take care of them in the future." Yan Yuan still put his hands on the fire to bake.
"You are really promising. You can say this. Let me tell you, if that's the case, I will kick you out. Find a young and handsome guy like Jiangbian, that will be enough." Liu Ruxuan said.
"Are you daydreaming? You're looking for someone as young as Jiangbian. Nowadays, men can't wait to find a newborn as their mother-in-law. Who wants you to be such a thing of the past?" Yan Yuan retorted.
"Yan Yuan! Do you have to go against me?" Liu Ruxuan stared at Yan Yuan.
Yan Yuan then realized how big a mistake he had made, but his attitude towards recognizing the mistake was also very correct, "I was wrong, mother-in-law, I was really wrong."
"No, no, I think what you said, Yan Yuan, is right. It makes perfect sense. Go on, go on." Liu Ruxuan's smile concealed a knife, which made Yan Yuan shudder.
"Don't, I was really wrong." Yan Yuan said bravely.
Jiang Bian and Xiao Yalin were listening to the bickering between the two living treasures while preparing lunch.
¡°One is chopping vegetables and the other is responsible for cooking, just like a couple doing housework together.
"Speaking of which, Jiangbian and Yalin really match each other.Together, the two of them have a tacit understanding. You can see that one has just prepared the side dishes, and the other has finished frying. Liu Ruxuan said.
"Xiao Yalin smiled, not minding the implication in Liu Ruxuan's words at all, "We naturally have a tacit understanding as siblings, but no matter how we cooperate, we can't compare to the infinite power of your two swords combined."
Jiangbian also smiled, but he didn't say anything. He boiled some hot water and cleaned the wild boar meat. Fortunately, wild boar does not take long to be smoked, so it is not very difficult to wash it.
Using a basin of hot water, the bacon was quickly washed clean. Then I washed it a few more times before it was complete.
After washing, Jiangbian cut the wild boar meat into pieces. By the time Jiangbian had processed all the wild boar meat and some ingredients, Xiao Yalin had already fried the previous dishes. He took the bacon prepared by the river and started frying it.
