The happy little days of the Ye family

Chapter 472 Mountain Patrol 2

When Tang Shan and Tang Xiaojing returned to the foot of the mountain, the family's long-term worker had already slaughtered the wild boar.

Spring plowing was coming soon. Tang Xiaojing planned to make half of this wild boar into bacon and save the remaining half for eating during spring plowing.

Tang Xiaojing left half of the pig to be made into bacon by the long-term workers. It was difficult to deal with pig waste, so Tang Xiaojing also stayed.

Tang Xiaojing planned to take the remaining half of the pig home and let Ye Qingqing make it into a pot of meat, which he would eat later during the spring plowing.

The father and son brought half a wild boar home. When Ye Qingqing saw such a big wild boar, he quickly pulled Tang Xiaojing over to check if he was injured.

Tang Xiaojing held Ye Qingqing's hand and comforted him: "It's okay, I'm good at it."

"Dad is here today. The two of us, plus Dahuang and Xiaohuang, can easily deal with a wild boar."

Ye Qingqing was still a little doubtful, so Tang Xiaojing leaned close to Ye Qingqing's ear and said, "How about you check it carefully tonight?"

Seeing that this man was shameless and didn't look like he was in trouble, Ye Qingqing hurriedly rushed him to help Tangshan.

When the two came to the backyard, Tang Shan was cutting meat. Tang Shan chopped off the pig head and a pig leg and asked Ye Qingqing to send them to the Ye family.

The Tang family and the Ye family have a good relationship, and if they have any good things, they will send a copy to each other. Now that Ye Qingqing is married, the relationship between the two families is closer than before.

When Ye Qingqing came back from Ye's house, she also brought some bean sprouts and wild vegetables, which were forced on her by Mrs. Ye.

Tang Xiaojing cut out the ribs and big bones, and then cut the wild boar meat into pieces.

Ye Qingqing brought a big basin over and evenly marinated the meat piece by piece with salt and rice wine. Once the meat is marinated, it can be made into pot meat tomorrow.

The meat has been marinated, and there are still a lot of bones and ribs left, as well as two pig trotters.

Tang Xiaojing put all these bones into a bucket, and then hung them above the well to keep them fresh for a few days to eat slowly.

These ribs and bones are different from those sold at meat stalls. They have a lot of meat on them.

Ye Qingqing plans to make braised big bones tomorrow. This kind of meat with bones tastes more delicious than pure meat.

Ye Qingqing had already prepared the meal. Seeing that there was fresh meat, he cooked a large pot of braised pork ribs.

The smell of meat was so strong that it attracted several wild cats to look at the fence.

Dahuang and Xiaohuang smelled a strange smell and barked at the wall, scaring away all the wild cats on the wall.

After gathering all the wild boars, it was already dark.

Ye Qingqing lit candles in the hall, and then brought out the food with Tang Xiaojing.

Today’s dinner was very sumptuous, including steamed grass carp, crucian carp soup, cold wild vegetables, and a large pot of braised pork ribs.

Dahuang and Xiaohuang helped a lot today. Tangshan specially added a lot of pork ribs to their rice.

Although Rhubarb and Xiaohuang are not picky eaters and will eat anything, they still prefer meat. While eating the pork ribs bibimbap, his tail was wagging very fast, and he looked very happy.

Early the next morning, Tang Shan and Tang Xiaojing went to Rabbit Mountain to patrol the mountain again.

Last time Tang Xiaojing and Ye Qingqing only went to Stone Mountain. Tang Xiaojing came here this time and wanted to take a look at the herbs on Rabbit Mountain.

Most of the herbs grown on Rabbit Mountain are ordinary herbs. Although they are not expensive, they are very easy to maintain.

After these herbs were planted, Tang Xiaojing didn't take care of them much, but they grew very well.

At the end of the year, Tang Xiaojing picked some mature herbs and replanted them after spring plowing.

Tang Xiaojing made a mental note of which areas needed to be replanted with herbs and which herbs should be planted.

The father and son walked around Rabbit Mountain and saw no trace of wild boars or other large beasts.

Tang Xiaojing also took the opportunity to dig some mature herbs.

The father and son met several rabbits along the way, but spring is the breeding season, and hunters will not hunt in spring.

The two came down from Rabbit Mountain, and then went to Stone Mountain.

Although there was an inspection yesterday, Tang Xiaojing was not sure whether there were really no wild boars on the mountain.

The father and son focused on areas where sweet potatoes and kudzu grew.

The two men breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that there were no traces of new digging in these places, and no new wild boar excrement was found.

No wild boar was seen on the mountain, but there was another big wild boar in the trap at the foot of the mountain.

The wild boar was in the outermost trap at the foot of the mountain. It looked like it had come from Wolf Mountain in front.

There are a lot of sweet potatoes and kudzu on the mountain, which attracts wild boars from the Langshan Mountain next door.

This wild boar is slightly larger than yesterday's, estimated to weigh more than 200 kilograms.

Fortunately, the wild boar fell into the trap. Such a big wild boar would not be so easy to deal with if encountered on the mountain.

The wild boar probably fell in not long ago. Although it has expired, its body is still warm.

Tangshan jumped out of the trap and helped the wild boar up. Tang Xiaojing, who was above, grabbed the wild boar's front legs and pulled it up, while Tang Shan, who was below, pushed the wild boar upward hard.

It took a lot of effort for the father and son to pull the wild boar out of the trap.

After the wild boar was pulled up, Tang Xiaojing dug some soil and filled it into the trap to cover up the blood stains at the bottom, and then quickly restored the trap to its original state.

The father and son carried the wild boar down the mountain. It was still early at this time, and Tang Xiaojing planned to send the wild boar to the Liang Family Restaurant.

The father and son drove the bullock cart to the county, while Ye Qingqing was cooking pot of meat at home.

There was a lot of meat this time, so Ye Qingqing first moved two large wine jars in the cellar. The wine jars were very large, and each one could hold about 30 kilograms of wine.

Ye Qingqing first scalded the two wine jars with boiling water, and then exposed them to the sun outside.

As soon as Ye Qingqing took out the wine jar, Ye Mu came over.

Ye Mu knew that Ye Qingqing wanted to make jar meat, so she came here to help.

There were several kilograms of suet in the wild boar. Ye Qingqing first refined all the suet.

The refined oil residue was filled into a large bowl. Ye Qingqing put the lard into a small jar, and half of the oil was left in the pot for frying the meat.

Ye Mu added a little fine firewood to the stove hole, and the oil in the pot began to boil again.

Ye Qingqing carefully began to fry the meat. Fist-sized pieces of meat were put into the hot oil pan piece by piece.

After the oil pot boiled again, Ye Mu took out some extra firewood and slowly fried the meat in the pot over low heat.

The rich aroma of meat slowly wafts out of the oil pan, and the surface of the meat is slowly fried until it becomes golden and crispy.

Ye Qingqing inserted the chopsticks into the meat. At this time, the meat could be easily penetrated.

Ye Qingqing carefully took the fried meat out of the oil pan, put it into a dry wine jar, and then put the second batch of meat into the oil pan for frying.

In addition to bones and ribs, half a pig contains dozens of kilograms of meat.

Ye Mu and Ye Qingqing worked hard all afternoon before frying all the meat and got two big jars of meat.

Ye Qingqing served some jars of meat to Ye Mu, but Ye Mu refused to take it. "I still have the pig head and pork legs you brought yesterday at home."

Seeing that Ye Mu refused to take it, Ye Qingqing filled another half bowl of lard residue for her.

"I cooked several kilograms of lard just now. There is so much lard residue that the three of us here can't finish it."

Mother Ye was also a glutton. Seeing that the lard dregs were fried so fragrantly, she happily took the lard dregs back.
