Chapter 14 Su Huaili: He felt hungry after hearing this
Zeng Chusheng had no objection. It was normal for people to be defensive. He could understand it, because he would do the same thing if he were himself. He smiled and nodded, "That's okay."

Zeng Chusheng and Chu Fu each carried a pig. They walked in front, and Zhou Yancheng walked behind.

Su Huaili happened to be on the way and went with him.

Chu Fu was very excited, but he was also a little distressed. “It’s rare to meet a wild boar. It’s exciting to be able to eat meat, but after getting excited, I start to feel unsatisfied.”

"Wild boar tastes terrible. The smell is too bad. It would be better if it didn't have the bad taste like domestic pigs."

Zeng Chusheng was disgusted and said, "Okay, don't be dissatisfied. Meeting pigs is already pretty good. Just make do with it. Don't keep thinking about what you have and what you don't have."

Zhou Shitang's eyes lit up. She might be able to trade in the method of making delicious wild boar meat for some pork.

The wild boar is woody, old and smells fishy.

The delicious taste of pork comes from the fat in the meat, so pork belly with more fat and even distribution is always more fragrant than tenderloin, so it is suitable for braised pork.

Wild boars live in mountains and forests and often bump into trees. They have a lot of lean meat but thick skin and very little fat. They are dark red in color, have uneven fat distribution, and have a particularly strong fishy smell.

This also determines that its taste will be tougher and difficult to cook.

Zhou Shitang thought for a moment, "Uncles, do you have any seasonings at home? For example, scallions, ginger slices, star anise, green peppercorns, etc."

Zeng Chusheng shook his head, "Without these things, the family would be too poor to eat."

Zhou Shitang: I forgot about it.

This is Lingnan, and their status is as a refugee.

Spices are quite expensive and ordinary people cannot afford them, let alone prisoners.

She thought about it, she could also blanch it with water and pickle it with salt...

However, salt is also very expensive, and just salting it doesn’t taste good.

Zhou Shitang shook off all the thoughts in her mind. Without seasoning, her dream of exchanging pork was shattered.

Chu Fu: "Little girl, why do you suddenly ask about this?"

Zhou Shitang said honestly: "I know how to remove the fishy smell of wild boar, and I also know how to make wild boar meat more delicious. It is soft and smooth, and the meat juice overflows in your mouth after one bite. It leaves a fragrant taste in your mouth, making people have endless aftertaste."

Su Huaili: He was so hungry after hearing that.

Zhou Yancheng: It seems that my daughter has learned a lot through reading and has written it down, which is good.

Chu Fu and Zeng Chusheng: Can you please stop talking? I want to eat.

Zeng Chusheng thought of Zhou Shitang asking a lot of questions, and asked curiously: "Just use the seasonings you just mentioned?"

He has never cooked and doesn't know how to cook. Can those powerful seasonings remove the wild boar's gamey flavor?

Zhou Shitang nodded, "Yes."

Without seasonings, no matter how good your cooking skills are, you cannot make delicious food.

The four men sighed at the same time, "What a pity."

"Brother, I still don't know what your surname is? My surname is Chu, Chu Fu, and his name is Zeng Chusheng."

"Zhou Yancheng."

"When you hear the name brother, it means he is a man of great fortune."

"So are the two brothers' names."

"Hahahaha!"

Zhou Shitang took advantage of their conversation and approached Su Huaili, "Mr. Su, in order to thank you for sending my third brother home, we will give you a pound of pork."

I had promised to give half a pig before, but then the pig was gone, so I had to give up.Now they have got four kilograms, so let’s give them one kilogram.

A person must keep his word.Surprise flashed across Su Huaili's eyes. Miss Zhou was knowledgeable, but had such a simple temper. If she met someone with evil intentions, she would probably be deceived to the point of losing her bones.

"Thank you." He nodded, "But don't you need to ask your father first?"

Zhou Shitang: "No, I can still make the decision on this little matter."

Most of the people living near this hilltop are convicts. A little further out there are a lot of fields. Those fields belong to the government. They, the convicts, need to grow rice, vegetables, trees, etc.

There is nothing to do this month, so they can move around freely.

Zeng Chusheng and Chu Fu were neighbors and had known each other for many years. They each carried pigs home.

Zhou Shitang and others went to Zeng Chusheng's home.

Chu Fu chatted with Zhou Yancheng and had a good impression of him. He waved to him and said, "Brother Zhou, I killed the pig and brought it to you."

Zhou Yancheng: "Sorry, Brother Chu."

Chu Fu: "Hey, it's not troublesome if you don't say anything."

Several people came to Zeng Chusheng's house, but Zeng's family was not at home. Zeng Chusheng moved out a few small benches, poured three bowls of water, and greeted them, "You guys sit down first, I will kill the pig."

Zhou Yancheng wanted to ask if he needed help, but after thinking about what he had done recently, he gave up the idea and it would be a disservice to him not to help.

Zhou Shitang didn't know how to kill pigs and didn't want to boil water, so she lazily sat on the small bench and rested.

After walking for a day, she was tired.

When Su Huaili saw them both sitting down, he didn't say anything and just sat down.

Zeng Chusheng carried the pig into the kitchen.

Su Huaili couldn't help but say, "Uncle Zhou, can I ask you a question?"

Zhou Yancheng was closing his eyes to rest. When he heard Su Huaili's words, he opened his eyes and glanced at him, "What's the problem?"

Su Huaili looked at Zhou Yancheng: "The medicinal materials are more precious than wild boar. Why didn't you just take out the medicinal materials and exchange them with them in the first place? I think they would agree to the exchange without hesitation if they knew they were exchanging medicinal materials. There was no need to say so many words. , it takes so much effort.”

Talking so much is a waste of time.

He can do many things with this time.

Zhou Shitang also turned to look at his father.

Zhou Yancheng looked deeply at Su Huaili, smiled, and said without hesitation, "If time is urgent, the method you mentioned is very good."

"But I have plenty of time now, and I have just arrived here not long ago. I don't know many things. It can be said that I have a bad eye."

"Humans are social animals, and it is inevitable to communicate with others. By communicating with them for a while, I can also find out more information, which will save a lot of trouble in the future."

"How to do it specifically depends on your own situation. There is no fixed answer."

"If you have lived here for a long time and know many things, and you don't want to spend so much time communicating, you can just exchange medicinal materials."

Su Huaili understood and said gratefully, "Thank you, Uncle Zhou."

Uncle Zhou didn't have a good relationship with his father, but he could still be so patient and talk to him so much. He was broad-minded and acted grandly.

Zhou Shitang pursed his lips and smiled, giving Zhou Yancheng a thumbs up, "Dad is still dad, and he is still very powerful in some aspects."

Zhou Yancheng couldn't help laughing and scolding, "You stinky girl."

In a roundabout way, he said he was a rough man.

I don’t know how long it took, but Zeng Chusheng came over with two kilograms of pork. He simply made a bamboo basket and put the pork in it.
