Chapter 56 Killing Pigs

Wild boar has a very strong fishy smell and is not as delicious as domestic pigs.But, it is meat!
Its meat is still pork, and its suet can still produce lard.

Wen Xian felt uncomfortable without eating pork these days.

While waiting for Sheng Lian'er to come over, she dug a hole with stones and buried the blood released by the wild boar into the hole, so as not to provoke large beasts too quickly.

Fortunately, Sheng Lian'er happened to be back from the bamboo forest. When she heard Zhou Hui say that she had shot a wild boar, she didn't even slow down and quickly came over to help drag the wild boar back.

The wild boar's blood was almost gone, but to avoid provoking other beasts by dripping blood on the way back, Wen Xian simply bandaged the wild boar's wound with leaves and vines.

Just in case, this time the wild boar was dragged directly to the beach where Jiang Jingwan jumped into the sea, oh no, it was the beach where Jiang Jingwan picked up the baggage.

Jiang Jingwan: ...You can’t get through this, right?

Facing the sea breeze, Fang Jiaren ran over with a basket on her back and said excitedly: "Madam, do you need to boil water to scald the pig hair?"

She knew that before killing a pig, she had to boil water to scald the pig's hair.After blanching and shaving the pig's hair, open the belly, take out the pork belly and throw it away, and then cut the meat into pieces.

It's just that it's too far away from the cave, so the boiling water might be cold if we bring it over.

Wen Xian patted the big wild boar weighing more than 200 kilograms, shook her head and said: "No need, I will skin it directly, and then skin it separately after the skin is peeled off."

Wild boar skin is more than twice as thick as ordinary domestic pig skin. The older the wild boar is, the thicker the skin will be.

Because of this, boar skin is very warm and wear-resistant.

If it is handled properly during tanning, the quality and feel will be finer and softer than many leathers.Wear-resistant, warm, and spacious.

After the salt is prepared, it can be used to make a wild boar skin coat, which is very effective in resisting wind and cold.

If you are making a short fur coat, this pigskin can be made into two pieces.After all, they women are petite and don't need much material.

"Put it on directly?" Sheng Lian'er rubbed her arms and looked at the dark wild boar, feeling a little resistant.

The rabbit has white fur, which is much prettier than this black pig.

Wen Xian raised her eyebrows and said, "Of course, you will know when it is made. This is a good thing."

She gestured with her dagger and disembowelled the wild boar.Sheng Lian'er and Fang Jiaren were assisting.

She took out the pig waste inside and put it all into the dustpan.

When Fang Jiaren smelled the pig's head in the water, he would pick up the dustpan and pour the pig's head into the sea.

Wen Xian's eyelids twitched and she quickly stopped: "Let it go for now. You go back and bring some plant ash and coarse salt. I will deal with them later. These are all delicacies."

"Eating pigs?" Fang Jiaren stared, with disbelief on his face.

Wen Xian said angrily: "Of course, this is good stuff. You will know whether it tastes good or not when I make it."

The ancients didn't have the habit of eating pigs, but she did.The fat intestines, small intestines, kidneys, pork liver, etc. in my previous life make me greedy now just thinking about them.

Fang Jiaren ran back to get the things dubiously, calling for more people to come over and help.

And Wen Xian's hands were not idle either. After taking the pig out of the water, she started skinning it.After finally peeling off the pig skin and setting it aside, he started to break down the pork again.

Fortunately, the dagger given by Jiang Jingwan was really easy to use, and it was useless when cutting flesh.

Of course, it was also because she deliberately avoided the bone every time she cut, so it was so easy.

The pig's head, pig's trotters, pig's front legs, two pig's hind legs, pork ribs, pork suet, pork tenderloin, etc. were all broken down by Wen Xian one by one.

Except for the two pig hind legs that Wen Xian wanted to use to make ham, which were divided into larger pieces, the others were all divided into small pieces.

Especially those used to make bacon, all of which come in two or three kilograms each, making it easier to handle when eating later.After breaking down the meat and rinsing it with sea water, the meat was put into the cleaned basket one by one, and was carried back several times by Sheng Lian'er.

Looking at the new backpack that Sheng Lian'er brought back, Wen Xian decided to make a few sun-flat ones of different sizes when she went back to spread them on the ground or dry them.

If there is a drying machine, it will be much more convenient to dry dried fish and chestnuts on weekdays.

When I have free time, I have to weave a few bamboo boxes or a few more backpacks for storage.

After the wild boar is processed, the next step is to process the pig waste.

The other things like the heart, liver, lungs, etc. inside the pig's sewage are easy to deal with. Just wash them and rub them with salt.

The most difficult thing to deal with is the large and small intestines.

Wen Xian first scraped off the oil from the edge of the intestine, then found a slender branch and turned the small intestine over.

When turning the small intestine, she specially put it in water to turn it.After turning it out, the dirt in the small intestine will be washed away directly with the water.

Compared with the large intestine, the small intestine is relatively clean.

The large intestine is filled with pig feces. Even if Wen Xian doesn't feel burdened, there will still be some discomfort.

Fang Jiaren, who was studying on the side, bit her lip and said: "How to deal with the large intestine, Madam, teach me, I will do it."

We can't let Queen Mother Wen Xian do all the dirty, tiring and hard work.

Seeing the determined look on her face, Wen Xian couldn't help but laugh: "Just help me and hold my large intestine to prevent it from being washed away."

Even though this is a shallow beach, the sea water is faster than that in the cave.If her hand slipped and the large intestine fell down and was washed away, she would have no place to cry.

The large intestine of a pig is more than seven meters long, and Wen Xian plans to divide it into three sections for processing.

She pinched the large intestine first, then cut it open with a dagger, and then took the large intestine in her hand into the water and let the sea water rinse it automatically.

After rinsing almost everything, she cut the rest and asked Fang Jiaren to rinse it in the water while she began to turn over the first large intestine.

There is also a lot of fat in the large intestine, and Wen Xian has to deal with it all.Then put plant ash into a dustpan filled with large and small intestines and knead them.

Rub and rinse several times, add coarse salt and rub again.After rinsing it repeatedly, Fang Jiaren and Fang Jiaren carried the bucket back one by one.

Fang Jiaren was very curious about what Wen Xian was going to cook with the intestines, but she held back and just waited and watched.

We are eating more and more, and Wen Xian made a bigger earthen pot a few days ago, which comes in handy now.

She was going to make a fat sausage and roasted taro. She didn’t need to cook too many at a time, just make one fat sausage first.

The two pots are cooked at the same time. In one pot, add ginger, green onions and salt to cook the fat intestines to remove the fishy smell.

Wen Xian has been looking for a lot of condiments these days, and has also dug up many to plant.

For example, she picked a lot of ginger, green onions, star anise, etc. and kept them, waiting for when they would be used.

The other pot is used to refine lard.

To make lard, you must first cut the lard into small pieces, then put it into a pot and simmer it over low heat.

Wen Xian planned to boil all the pork suet because winter was coming soon and it would not go bad easily.

 Thank you little cuties for voting, show your love, okay~(^з^)-☆
