Chapter 503 The Intruder

Chapter [-]: The Intruder

After speaking, he turned around and said to the bearded man, "Why don't you stay here too?"

The bearded man's professional ethics came up again this time, and he shook his head firmly, meaning to follow suit.

Li Junge said: "That's okay, then follow me."

The bearded man glanced at the machete beside Li Junge.

Li Junge said: "You won't do it to you. If you really mess with this thing, there are two ways. Climb a tree or dive into the water. Don't think about fighting, understand?"

The bearded man nodded.

The two set off, climbed over the ridge to the side near the sea, then circled upwards for half an hour, and came back from the bamboo forest.

It rained a few days ago, and a lot of giant bamboo shoots came out of the bamboo forest. Li Junge saw that many of them were in trouble. It seems that the wild boars were attracted by these things.

The old saying that Uncle Orion often talks about is that everyone likes good meat, so there is no reason for it.

The two walked through the bamboo grove carefully, Li Junge stopped three times at a step, put his Xuanya on the string, and was always alert to the movement around him.

Through the hemp field, slipped quietly from behind the bushes to behind the old shed.

The old shed has also been ruined, and a lot of dry wood and hemp sticks have been dragged all over the ground. It seems that the wild boars also know this place is good, and they used it as a bed to sleep all night.

Although Li Junge sent most of the things into the new house before departure, and then knocked the doors and windows into the big bamboo tubes and nailed them, but the oil and salt jars on the stove, cassava powder and papaya powder were not taken in.

Now they are all under the control of wild boars.

There are also two cassava chips baked in dustpans, because they were not dry when they left. Li Junge thought that the four people here had been active for dozens of days, and the wild animals would not come, so they did not collect them, and now they have been dragged to the ground , Except for the ones that were trampled to pieces, they have been gnawed clean.

Li Junge dragged a shelf between the bathroom and the new shed, and gently slid up to the roof.

Turning around to take over the equipment from the bearded man, and pulling the bearded man up to the roof, Li Junge heaved a sigh of relief.

The two of them started to straddle the ridge of the roof with both feet, and headed towards the vegetable field.

Li Junge's teeth itch when he saw the vegetable field, the fence was knocked down, and a litter of wild boars, three big, five small, were basking in the sun.

Purple sweet potato, all kinds of vegetables and plants are all over the place, which is impossible to see.

Moreover, these pigs were probably used to running amok on the island, so Li Junge and the others should have known their movements when they were within 20 meters, but they still ignored them.

Li Junge took out his whistle and blew it vigorously.

The wild boars lifted up half of their bodies to take a look, and then lay down lazily again.

Ayin's whistle sounded in the distance, indicating that they also knew the situation.

Li Junge straightened up and shouted loudly: "Get out!"

As a result, the biggest wild boar stood up and stared at Li Junge fiercely.

Now Li Junge saw it clearly, and scolded: "Damn's ears are lying on the stomach, how dare you pretend to be the king of the mountain! Get out of here!"

As a result, the big pig not only did not go away, but lay down again.

This matter cannot be delayed for a long time, it will be more difficult to deal with it if it is delayed until dark, besides, Ayin will always worry about it.

Li Junge wiped his face with his hands, calmed his mind, pulled out his black teeth and rested them on the strings, and said in his heart that he couldn't help it, one foot on the left side of the roof and one foot on the right side of the roof, kneeling on one knee, straightened up, twisted The waist is ninety degrees, the left arm is straight, and the right hand draws the string to the side of the face.

Let go, release the string, the bow is like a thunderbolt, and the arrow is like flying electricity!
The big wild boar hissed violently as if being shocked by an electric shock, jumped up suddenly, and even started to jump towards Li Junge, but after only taking two steps, it fell sideways, bounced its hind legs a few times, and remained motionless up.

The rest of the big pigs and piglets exploded when they heard the hiss, and disappeared into the depths of the bamboo forest in a hurry.

For the remaining one lying on the ground, the Xuanya arrow penetrated halfway through the junction of the shoulder and rib, and it seemed that it directly pierced the heart.

Li Junge still didn't dare to be negligent, and when the pigs were all gone, he shot arrows at the big pig's neck and abdomen, and seeing that the big pig was still motionless, he slipped down from behind the house.

The bearded man followed behind with a look of admiration.

Li Junge went over and kicked the big pig twice to make sure that the wild boar was dead. He shook his head at the big bearded man while pulling out the arrow: "If you can be like Bai Da and the others, how can it be the turn of these semi-wild domestic pigs to be arrogant!"

The bearded man was dumbfounded, who is Bai Da?What kind of hunk would he be if he could be tougher than wild boars and you? !

Mustache vaguely saw this scene in the distance, knowing that it was all right, he wanted to go down the tree to find a seat.

Ayin grabbed him: "Don't move, wait for Erpi to come over."

Resentment began to pile up on Mustache's face again.

A Yin said, "Aren't you afraid that there are still two hiding in the surrounding woods?"

The mustache's resentful expression disappeared immediately, and he couldn't help nodding. The hostess was still very thoughtful, and couldn't help but climbed half a meter higher up the tree.

Li Junge put the arrow back into the quiver and went back to pick up A Yin.

Seeing Li Junge approaching, Ah Yin jumped down from the tree and rushed towards Li Junge with a smile: "Erpi, you are so amazing! You are no worse than grandpa!"

Li Junge hugged her and said with a smile: "This group of pigs have only read half of the war book, and they haven't read the part about returning to the teacher, don't stop the arrogant soldiers, and the soldiers must be defeated! In the next month or so, they should not dare to approach this place again." It's all over!"

Picking up things and walking back, when they came to the dam, Ayin frowned and looked at the vegetable field and the shed, and said distressedly: "It's so hateful! The place we worked so hard to get is messed up by them!"

Li Junge put his arms around A Yin's waist and said: "They are the masters here, but they just can't control their mouths. But there are so many foods in the forest, if they insist on coming to trouble us, they should learn a lesson."

Ayin said: "There are so many things again!"

Li Junge said: "This is considered good. Fortunately, the new house has a bamboo wall to seal the door, otherwise it would be terrible!"

Reopening the doors and windows, Li Junge asked Ayin to clean up the surroundings first, and went back to move the remaining things by himself.

After moving things back, I started to clean up a big mess.

First carry the beehive to the back mountain, build a shelf with several shrubs, tie the beehive to it, build a shed on it to keep out the rain, and remove the moss on both sides of the beehive.

When you come back, hang the honey basket on the beam with hemp rope to prevent ants from finding it.

Honey won't go bad, so don't rush to clean it up.

When you come back, tidy up the old shed first.

After learning from the wild boar, Li Junge didn't dare to move his things out.

Wooden shelves, potato flour jars and other things were placed on the empty side of the new house.

The kimchi jar was moved out and placed under the eaves of the new house.

Only then did I start to put the firewood and hemp sticks of the old shed back in their place.

Pull out some jars from the shelves, pull out the spare storage of spices, and rearrange the stove.

Then start a fire and boil water.

Turn out the half-dried mushroom slices, put them on the stove and bake a part.

The quails are not released yet, and the cages are surrounded with hemp sticks, lest they be frightened when they see people coming and going.

Take the bamboo tube and add some water to it, sprinkle some cake crumbs as feed, and deal with it like this first.

The most urgent task is to deal with that big guy in the vegetable field.

This pig weighs more than a hundred catties. Even if there are seventy catties of clean meat, ten catties of meat and half a catty of salt according to the Lijiagou bacon method, there will not be much left for the three or four catties of salt left in the house.

Therefore, Li Junge is only going to pickle some of them, and think of other ways for the rest.

The salt making process is too cumbersome, and he doesn't want to do it again.

The first is to untie the pig. In order to save trouble, the process of blowing, scalding, shaving and pouring resin in the old family is completely omitted, and the skin is directly peeled.

Except for the pig's head and four hooves, three parts of the belly are left with skin, and the rest are peeled off.

After peeling off the pig's skin and roughly washing it with alkaline water, stretching it up on a bamboo pole to dry, Li Junge discovered that the meat quality of the pig was not bad.

It is estimated that there are only two generations of wild boars, not as aggressive as real wild boars, and there are many things to eat on the island, and it has just passed autumn, so this pig still has a lot of fat on its body.

He raised his head and said with a smile to A Yin: "We can make a whole pig soup at night, and the internal organs can be eaten with this posture!"

A Yin said with a smile: "You can hide your laziness! Just pick the shell and eat the core, which saves a lot of trouble!"

Even so, there are many things to do, and soaking in blood is a troublesome thing.

However, Li Junge would also be lazy, cut open the pig's belly, picked out all the parts of the pig according to Uncle Ayin's method of cutting the pig, and threw the bones into a large water tank to soak.

Roughly cleaned up the pig's intestines and stomach, and put the pork into a basket. Ayin carried a large basket on his back, and took a large foot basin, filled two tubes of tapioca flour and soda, and walked together to the water inlet of the lake.

A Yin was so happy, there was so much meat, the four of them couldn't finish it in the remaining ten days!
When he came to the water's edge, Li Junge put the basket against a small waterfall, untied the meat into three finger-high and two-finger-wide strips, and threw it into the basket to remove the blood.

A Yin began to clean the internal organs.

The key point is the intestines and pork belly, which must be cleaned first, then washed once with soda, bitten out the pulp with salt, hang the pulp into a paste with tapioca flour, and finally rinse off the batter in clean water, and the clean pork belly, large intestine and small intestine will be Here we go.

Nothing matters, the small intestine is the key.

Taking a small intestine and putting it aside, Li Junge took out a square wooden stick, turned the small intestine over, scraped off the inner layer, and left the outer membrane.

This is called a casing, and it can be used to stuff sausages.

Filling sausages is currently the most salt-saving and time-saving preservation method.

This hand was knocked out by Li Junge under the head of his mother's chopsticks when he was young. Now that he picked it up again, Li Junge felt very kind.

He smiled at A Yin: "A Yin, you didn't do this when you were a child on the mountain, did you?"

Ayin stroked a strand of hair that was hanging down with her wrist, and said with a smile, "I don't have the chance to intervene, it's all done by uncle, we just take care of irrigation."

Li Junge said: "Then you are lucky. Let me tell you, when I was young, adults were busy scraping the skin and dividing the flesh. Just leave this matter to me. If you scratch one place, you will get a chopstick head!"

A Yin laughed and said, "Oh! That's not a young man with a full head!"

Li Junge said: "You look down on people too much! Up to four blows! Oh no, five blows, no more!"

Disposing of internal organs is a cumbersome job. After finishing all these, more than two hours have passed, and I went to pick some cress and cattail vegetables. The sun is about to set.

The strips of meat have been washed for two hours, the color of the flesh has begun to turn pink, and the blood has basically gone away.

The two put away the meat, fetched well water and washed it one last time before carrying the meat back home.

Then there is intensive processing of ingredients.
