Myth: Heaven and Earth

Chapter 231 Wild Boar
Lu Heng looked at the porridge reflecting the clear face of the person, sighed in his heart, and said to Xiaohu: "Eat it."

Only then did Xiaohu take the pottery bowl that was missing a hole, and started to gobble it up.

Mother Hua went in again and filled half a bowl—only half was left.

She put the bowl in Lu Heng's hand, and touched Lu Heng's forehead: "Put your stomach first, and wait for elder brother and the others to come back. Grandma will bring you delicious food from the county."

It turns out that Mother Hua is going to the county town today.

In this family, the real leader is Mama Hua.Da Zhuang and his three brothers only cut enough firewood to make ends meet, and the rest of the expenses were subsidized by Hua Mama's weaving and selling money.

Every once in a while, Mother Hua would go to the county town to sell the woven fabrics and return with some necessities for life.

Every time at this time, Mama Hua would bring some delicious food—this time was the happiest time for the three Da Zhuang brothers and Lu Heng.

"Grandma is going to the county today?" Lu Heng couldn't help asking.

Mama Hua said, "The house is running out of salt, I have to buy some. I sold the cloth along the way."

The cloth woven by Mama Hua is of exquisite quality. If the business is done normally, the family will never be so hard-pressed.But the squeeze is too severe - it seems that the landlords and businessmen everywhere are the most vicious beasts.

The cloth woven by Mother Hua is not an ordinary cloth.

It's Tong Jin!
Lu Heng didn't know it before, but now he knows that Tong brocade is one of the famous brocades as famous as Shu brocade and other brocades!

Every time Mama Hua needs to weave a bolt of brocade, it takes at least three months for the process from material to finished product.It is so meticulous and difficult, but the profit from selling it is only enough to subsidize the family. It is tight, which shows how dark the hearts of the businessmen in the county are!

Lu Heng couldn't help but said, "I'll go with Grandma."

Mother Hua smiled and touched his forehead again: "It takes a hundred miles to go to the county town, you are still young."

Mother Hua's tone made Lu Heng unable to refute.It's not that this sentence cannot be refuted, but the firmness in Hua's mother's tone.

Lu Heng nodded silently.

Xiaohu hopped away after finishing his porridge. He had to fetch water for Hu to shave.

Lu Heng said, "You come to dinner in the evening."

Xiaohu happily agreed.

Mother Hua only looked at it with a smile, then packed up the piece of brocade that she had painstakingly woven, wrapped it tightly with cloth, touched Lu Heng's forehead, and went down the mountain.

Lu Heng stood in front of the house halfway up the mountain, watching Grandma's figure disappear from his eyes, and then sighed softly.

Then he closed the door behind him, walked around the house empty-handed, and got into the deep mountain.

Not long after, Lu Heng came back.

Followed by two big fat wild boars!

He went around the mountain forest, looking for a group of wild boars that were digging into the soil, performed the technique of gathering beasts, and picked two of the fattest ones and brought them back.

I have to say that the environment in this world is really 'too good'.Even the wild boar was much bigger than what Lu Heng had seen in his previous life.

For example, any of these two ends weighs seven or eight hundred catties!
This is really not friendly to Orion.

Wild boars of seven or eight hundred catties are covered with thick soil and armor made of pine oil rubbed over time. The threat of hunting bows is really not great. Only traps can trap these big wild animals, but they are still dangerous.

Moreover, it is not easy to dig a trap that can hold a large wild animal of seven or eight hundred catties in the mountains.

The two wild boars followed Lu Heng neatly, reaching the height of his shoulders.It's like betting on Lu Heng.

But in fact, they are Lu Heng's prey.

Let the two wild boars stay outside obediently. Lu Heng went into the house and took out a knife to show the vital points of the wild boars.

Lu Heng was not a pig butcher, but he killed enough people.Although he wins with strength, he is very clear about the vitals of living beings.

Where to put the knife, you can easily kill it with one knife. Although wild boars are not quite the same as humans, the reason is the same.

He killed the wild boar by the pool, and Lu Heng took a knife to skin and bone it, and quickly cleaned it up.

There is a pool beside the house, which is built with stones, and there is a spring next to it, which is the source of water for the family to survive.

Clean up properly, the bones return to the bones, the meat returns to the meat, and the internal organs are also washed out. It is full of good meat.

It's not over yet.

Lu Heng went to the kitchen to light up the fire again, found a few clay pots and cleaned them, and started refining oil.

Lu Heng picked fat ones. Although it is true that wild boars do not produce much oil, there is always something fat about them.The suet was cut into pieces, thrown into a hot pot, and slowly smelted.

After boiling the fragrant oil residue, take it out and put it in a clay pot, then scoop up the clear lard spoonful by spoonful and pour it into the clay pot.

Two earthen pots were fully filled!
This is a happy thing.

Where do you usually have oil and water to eat at home?It is often a piece of bread, a bowl of porridge, and at most some green wild vegetables are added to the porridge.Only when Mama Hua came back from selling Tongjin in the county, would there be delicious food.

Now that there are thousands of catties of pork and two large cans of lard, although it is just a start, Lu Heng is very happy.

But pork can't be kept for a long time-it's summer now, let alone kept for a long time, just a day or two, it will be made inedible by bacteria.

How to do?
drying!

Although it is not salted, it is better to dry it than leave it like this.

So I took the charcoal from home - the three Da Zhuang brothers had burned a lot during this period, and they just used it.

First build a shelf with wooden sticks, place the pork on the shelf layer by layer, and then find branches with thick leaves to surround and cover it, and then burn the fire underneath.

It can't be an open flame, let it smoke!

After the roasting smoked, Lu Heng went into the kitchen again, cut the internal organs into pieces, washed them, and put them in a pot to simmer.

Soon, there was a smoky smell outside the house, and a strong fragrance wafted from the house.

But there was still a fishy smell - Lu Heng slapped his head, he had to find something to remove the smell, otherwise it would not taste good.

This is not difficult for Lu Heng - the art of medicine, he knows every kind of medicinal material.There are many medicinal materials for removing fishy smell.

He immediately went into the mountain, came out after a while, found some wild ginger and garlic, and picked a bagful of fresh star anise.

Wash it quickly and throw it into the pot.

After thinking about it, he poured in the half bottle of wine that Da Zhuang hid that he was reluctant to drink!

At two or three o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Heng finally ate meat - a large pot full of good stuff stewed from wild boar offal, and Lu Heng ate more than half of it by himself!

He is hungry!

The technique of taking food reminds him all the time, let him eat quickly!

Put the rest in clay pots, and Lu Heng took the big wild boar bones, and stewed it all over again.

While looking at the smoked pork roasting outside, he stewed the big bones. Before evening, he had another delicious meal.

He ate the big bones and kept the meaty ones.
