Hard work

Chapter 146 Wild Boar Hot Pot

Lan Hua'er always felt that Fang Ningai was thinking too much.

But when she thought about it, if such a thing happened to her, she would probably panic.This is the same as when they first fell in love when they were young. They can't help but guess the thoughts of the person they like. They blush because of a look in the other person's eyes, and feel sad because of a certain sentence the other person said. .

Fang Ningai is probably surrounded by bold and unrestrained ladies like Guan Ju, but she herself is a bit weak-tempered, and she probably just kept a lot of things in her heart and thought about them several times, and she didn't dare to ask Lan Du. Self-confidence, so I want to go to the side.

There is nothing to persuade or not to persuade this kind of thing, it all depends on what you want.

And since Fang Ningmei has already decided to find time to ask Lan Du about it, it is estimated that the two people will gradually communicate with each other and come up with a result.

Zang Lang also said that Lan Du felt that Fang Ning'ai looked down on him.

Now that everyone has said so, I guess Lan Du likes Fang Ning'ai himself, otherwise he would care if Fang Ning'ai likes him or not.

The three whispered to each other again, Guan Ju also said:
"When the two of you get married, I'll also give you bracelets, together with your hair. It's grand and unobtrusive, so you can get married in a dignified way."

Lan Hua'er immediately thought of the pair of silver bracelets that Guan Ju gave to Aru when she got married, which eventually became a story of Liaozhai, so she told:
"Xianggu, I don't want to be discussed whether our ancestral grave is buried well or not."

The three of them laughed together.

Because there was no man in the house, the three of them got together and slept all night, and saw Yan Dalang and the others carrying their things back before the evening of the next day.

To be exact, Yan Dalang and the others hadn't returned home yet, they heard the noisy life from afar.

People in the village are used to watching operas, so Lan Hua'er is also very used to such lively voices coming from the village.When Yan Dalang and the others returned to the yard with their things, the three of them were surprised to find that those men had actually brought back a huge wild boar.

Zang Lang and Lan Du also hung a basket behind them, and there were some miscellaneous small animals in the basket, which looked very rich.But compared with the wild boar they were carrying, the things in the basket were nothing, and they were all ignored.

The wild boar was smaller than the domestic pigs fed by people in the village, and it was probably leaner.But it takes the three of them together to carry it back. After killing it, it is estimated that there will be more than 100 catties of meat.The pigs in the village are better fed, and if they are fatter, they can have two hundred catties of meat.

The three of them did not know how to hunt down such a huge beast. They cut two thick branches from the mountain to serve as poles, and tied the wild boar's limbs to the poles with tree vines, carrying them all the way. back to the village.

Lan Hua'er bravely went over to have a look, and found that the wild boar was still alive, breathing out.

Zang Lang quickly stretched out his hand to stop her, putting a little distance between her and the wild boar:
"Little lady, be careful, this pig is fierce."

Lan Hua'er let out an "oh", but still couldn't help stretching her head to look.

This was the first time she had seen a wild boar.

Wild boars are not like those domestic pigs raised in the village. The fur on their bodies looks very hard, and it is gray-black, and there are two faint fangs.

Many people in the village followed those who came to watch the wild boar, and they all gathered outside the yard.

When Yan Dalang and the others teamed up to hunt a deer before, many families in the village got together.Although they are basically only a little bigger than a palm, they are still a fresh smell.Seeing that they had brought back another wild boar now, I couldn't help but began to guess the smell of the wild boar.

However, these three people did not plan to perform a wild boar battle for everyone in front of the yard, and carried them to the back, saying that they brought their family and killed them quickly, so that they could try something new in the evening.

Lan Hua'er quickly followed and ran to the back, telling them to keep the pig's blood, and told them to keep all the offal, so that they could cook their own food at home.

No one in the village eats pig blood and pig offal, at most they only use pig tails and trotters to make soup.

But they all thought that Lanhuaer was a good food and drink, and Zang Lang had eaten hot chicken blood and deer blood from Lanhuaer, so he felt that Lanhuaer would definitely be able to cook these delicious things.These can't be bought for two dollars anyway, and many people use them to dig pits and bury them to make the ground more fertile.

But since this thing can be eaten, they naturally keep it.

Guan Ju and Fang Ningai were greeting people in the front, but they were very busy killing pigs in the back.

Zang Lang originally wanted to drive Lan Huaer outside, but Lan Huaer didn't like it, so he said:
"When you're not around, I'm not responsible for killing chickens and fish. There's no lady in the village who can't even see blood. Aren't you being laughed at by others... Ah! That pig has to earn money You’ve gotten up, hurry up and hold it down!”

So the people behind followed suit and started to panic again.

After finally killing the pig and understanding it, it was almost dark after tossing around.

Although they are good at knives, they are not professional butchers after all. They kill chickens and dogs quickly, and when it's their turn to kill pigs, there is always something different.They tossed and tossed for a long time, and they were so tired that they broke the wild boar into pieces.

Lan Huaer said next to her:

"I used to watch butchers coming to the village to slaughter pigs and meat. I always thought it was a very simple thing. The butcher seemed to do it all at once. Now I see you are tossing around here, and I realize that the money is not worth it. It’s so easy to earn. The butcher is busy for a long time, and you can do it for a long time, and it’s not as good as others.”

Zang Lang wiped his face and said with a silly smile:
"Will you be familiar with it if you do it too much?"

Lan Hua'er thought about it, and thought it was true.She also wished that these people could hunt back a wild boar every day, wild boar was often eaten at home.Even if you can't finish it yourself, you can sell it in the town, and you can make money.

When they were almost done with the pig, Guan Ju and Fang Ningai also walked in.

Several people discussed it and decided to keep the pork for their own consumption instead of selling it in the town.

Now the price of pork in the town is high, but they also eat meat during the Chinese New Year.Three families share one share, and each family gets no more than forty or fifty catties of meat.If you want to sell it again, and give some to acquaintances in the village, it is estimated that the rest will be ten or twenty catties.

They are not very short of money now, they only plan to sell the small animals they hunt, and the wild boar meat will no longer be sold outside.

Because of hunting such a wild boar, Lan Hua'er suddenly felt that the family's wealth had become richer.

There are wine and meat, and so many things have been saved before the Chinese New Year.

She simply imitated the modern times and let everyone eat hot pot together.

Cut the pork slices into thin slices, put them in the soup base and boil them, and eat them directly with some sauce.Vegetables and the like, they already have at home, washed and cut into pieces, thrown directly into the soup, and can be used as a soup base for cooking.It's much faster than cooking several dishes separately.

They are reluctant to say that the sliced ​​​​pork belly is served in the hot pot.

Wild boars have much less fat than domestic pigs, and they all want to save them for later use, cut them off and store them aside, so the hot pot is all lean meat.

Lan Huaer has tried her best to marinate the meat with various ingredients, and added some starch that she brought back from Honghuabai, which she has been reluctant to use, to make the meat slices as tender and smooth as possible, but it is still not as good as Go to the fat cattle and sheep that were eaten in modern times.

This is also impossible.

She doesn't know the refining technology of clear oil. She only knows that peanuts and rapeseeds can be used to extract oil, but she doesn't know how to operate it, so she can only eat animal oil with care.

Zang Lang prefers to eat stewed meat. After all, the meat slices are a bit thin, and he no longer has the feeling of eating meat in his mouth.However, no one has ever made hot pot in ancient times, and everyone ate it novelty and happily, and it was very lively.

Guan Ju couldn't help but nodded Lan Hua'er's head and said:
"Why do you have so many ideas in your brain? You have never been outside, how can you make such delicious food?"

Lan Hua'er tilted her head and thought for a while, then said very seriously:
"It was Goddess Guanyin who gave me a dream. In my dream, I watched Goddess Guanyin cook a lot of dishes in front of me, and I knew it."

She had just swallowed a piece of meat in her mouth, her little lips were ruddy and oily, and they were slightly pouted, and her face was still a little baby fat, but she deliberately pretended to be serious when she said such words, and suddenly Everyone in the room laughed, even Yan Dalang smiled.

Seeing their reaction, Lan Hua'er was immediately satisfied, took the opportunity to grab a piece of meat, and then said:

"I don't know, just try to make it, and it won't be wasted anyway. Isn't it the same way we cook soup on weekdays. Isn't it warm and convenient to eat while cooking. My elder brother said, Grandmother used to be very good at tea and rice. I don’t remember, but my elder brother said that I can make grandma’s taste.”

Gaihua did say that Liu Yanyan was good at tea and rice, but Lan Huaer added the latter words herself, and no one would verify it anyway.

Although this thing is unlikely to be inherited, Lan Huaer also said that she cooked at home since she was a child, and gave it to brother and herself.If the fever is not good, brother will cry, and she will not be happy after eating.

Everyone thinks about the food she has cooked for so long, and it is understandable.

Fang Ningai whispered next to her:

"But some people cook for a lifetime, but they still haven't made any progress."

Lan Huaer scratched her head, Guan Ju had already answered the words for her:
"Cooking is the same as embroidery. Those who are dedicated and talented will naturally be able to do it well. Some people just can't learn how to do it, and it's the same reason."
