Traveling through 70's wine

Chapter 22 Wild Boar

At this time, a grunting and rushing sound was heard, and a black guy rushed over.

"Wild boar!" Levi shouted.

Wen Qing hasn't found any wild boars nearby. The last time a wild boar was found was two mountains away. It was probably winter and the wild boars were looking for food everywhere, so they ran to this place.

Gu Hua said, "Spread out, don't get hit by the wild boar."

The six men hid behind a tree and saw the wild boar rushing towards them. Gu Hua picked up a large stone and smashed it on the wild boar's head. Guo Jianguo raised the machete in his hand and chopped at the wild boar. The wild boar moved very quickly, so he did not chop the pig's neck, but only the back.

Gu Hua's stone hit nothing. The wild boar swung its tail in pain and turned to charge towards Gu Hua.

Wen Qing observed the trajectory of the wild boar and stabbed the pig's carotid artery with a knife, and a stream of blood spurted out.

The knives, stones, and carrying poles in the hands of the others were all thrown at the wild boar, and the wild boar struggled even harder, but after a while, the wild boar's movements slowed down and it fell to the ground and twitched.

"Dead, dead." Everyone cheered.

Such a big pig is enough for everyone to eat for a while.

Luo Yixing said: "How do we take this wild boar back?"

"Tie up the two men and carry them back."

Guo Jianguo said: "I mean don't let the village know."

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Killing a wild boar was different from killing a pheasant, and it was impossible to hide it from the villagers.

"Then let's tell the captain." Gu Hua felt a little regretful, but the village was still good to them, the educated youth, and it was acceptable for them to make some contributions to the village.

Wu Qing said: "We fought, so we can get a little more."

Everyone worked together to tie up the wild boar, and cut branches to use as a shoulder pole. Luo Yixing and Guo Jianguo carried it.

The others packed up firewood, backpacks and other things and followed behind. When they reached the edge of the village, the villagers saw them and shouted, "Luo Zhiqing, did you kill the wild boar?"

"Yes, I fought in Dayao Mountain."

"Brother Chen, go tell the captain and we'll carry it to the team headquarters."

"Okay!" The villagers ran quickly and found the team leader Chen Tianxing. Chen Tianxing discussed with the scorer and decided to divide the points among everyone. Of course, the educated youth would get more points. Whoever hits harder will get more points. This is the convention.

The wild boar attracted a lot of attention. Soon many children followed the educated youth. The adults couldn't help drooling at the thought of the delicious pork and followed them to the dam in front of the team headquarters.

Chen Tianxing called the team leader Lin Changsheng over.

The butcher was also called over, and the women in the village began to bring firewood to boil water.

The wild boar had just been killed. The butcher drained the blood, put it on a wooden board, shaved off the hair and skin, and quickly took out the entrails and put them in a wooden basin. Then he weighed the pork, which weighed 190 kilograms. It was a big pig.

There were 120 households in the village, including the educated youth. Each household received one and a half kilograms of pig food, and all the pig heads and internal organs were given to the educated youth.

The villagers got the pork for free and had no objection to the educated youth taking the pig heads and internal organs. Moreover, the internal organs were very smelly, so the villagers didn't want them.

The educated youth happily carried the meat back.

Several educated youth discussed how to eat pig heads and internal organs.

Wen Qing suggested: "Take out the meat from the pig head and braise it, make the rest of the pig skin, heart, and tongue into cured meat, braise the pig intestines and liver, stew the pig lungs, stomach, and pancreas into soup, and stir-fry the pig kidneys." The arrangements were very clear.

Everyone had no objection and rubbed salt on the wild boar meat, pig head, pig tongue and pig heart, and left them for a few days to dry. Wen Qing prepared to find some pine branches to smoke the bacon, and everyone would share it after it was smoked.

She is going home for the Spring Festival, so it's a good opportunity to bring it back with her.

Several people were washing the pig offal separately. Pig offal is very difficult to wash, and if it is not washed cleanly, it will taste bad.

Wu Qing and Wen Qing picked up the wooden bucket and went to the small river near the village to wash it. They washed it over and over again for an hour before finally washing it clean.

In the evening, Wu Qing cooked braised pork intestines, stir-fried small intestines, and fried pork kidneys. She also stewed pork stomach and pork lung soup on the stove of the male educated youth. The snow-white soup was mixed with a strong aroma of oil.

Wen Qing took out two bottles of wine. The six people washed their toothbrush cups and served red wine. Gu Hua asked, "Wen Qing, do you have any more wine?" Wen Qing said, "I happened to meet a fellow villager selling wine in town, so I bought two bottles."

What everyone sees is wine served in ceramic jugs, which is obviously home-brewed.

After filling the glass with wine, Luo Yixing raised his glass and said, "I wish you all a happy life."

Guo Jianguo: "I wish you all get what you want soon!"

Li Wei, Wu Qing, Wen Qing, and Gu Hua all clinked their glasses.

To be honest, Xiangyang Village is poor, the work points are low, and there are few educated youth assigned to the village. Now the six of us get along well, often share meals together, and the atmosphere is pretty good.

Today we had great food and wine, and everyone relaxed and talked about their experiences.

It turned out that Luo Yixing and Gu Hua were classmates who were assigned from Hai City. They went to the countryside in the same year as Wen Qing.

Guo Jianguo and Li Wei came from Sichuan Province, and Wu Qing came from Jiangsu Province. The three of them went to the countryside in the same year.

Wen Qing's home is in Hubei Province.

Gu Hua said, "We also come from all corners of the world." He raised his glass again.

When asked about their education, the other five people all graduated from high school, and only Wen Qing was a junior high school student. Wen Qing said, "The year I went to the countryside, classes resumed and the revolution began, but because I had to go to the countryside, I didn't continue my studies."

When everyone talked about their future plans, Li Wei said, "There are very few places for workers, peasants and soldiers to get into college now. Not even one in a commune. We can forget about it."

Guo Jianshe said: "My family wrote to me saying that there were several reasons why the educated youth returned home: for example, to study, to find a job, to join the army, or to retire due to illness."

Except for retirement due to illness, everyone else had to have a place to go, and the commune would issue a letter of introduction, transfer the household registration, and release the person through grain and oil relations. Otherwise, even if one sneaked back to the city on his own, there was no way for him to stay.

Seeing that the atmosphere was depressing, Wen Qing went to the kitchen and cut a plate of braised pork liver, and everyone continued to drink.

Luo Yixing: "In a few days, I will go to the Dongfanghong Commune next door to visit a friend and stay there for a few days."

Wen Qing asked: "Will the captain issue a letter of introduction?"

Luo Yixing: "No problem. There is less farm work now, and they want the villagers to earn more work points. It's just right for the educated youth to ask for leave."

Wen Qing stopped talking. Gu Hua glanced at Wen Qing and said, "I want to go hunting in the mountains."

Li Wei and Guo Jianguo said they wanted to go together. Wu Qing wanted to go to the county to buy medicinal herbs. Wen Qing said hurriedly, "I have some medicinal herbs too. Sister Qingqing, can you help me take them to sell?"

After dinner, everyone cleaned up the main room and went back to rest.

After going up to the attic, Wen Qing entered the space as usual and found that the rice and corn were ripe again. So, Gu Hua and the others went into the mountains, Wu Qing went to the county, and she stayed in the space to harvest rice and corn.

Now her kung fu and mental strength have improved, and she is much more efficient in doing farm work. With the use of harvesters and threshers, it took her eight days in space, which is equivalent to two days outside, to harvest the crops in the twenty acres of field. She spread them on the ground to dry, and when the moisture dried, she stored them in the warehouse.

Looking at the increasing amount of grain, Wen Qing thought that he needed to make a device to grind the grain.

She found the diesel engine that she had collected from the scrap yard in Luchun County last time, used rust remover to remove the rust on the engine, dismantled all the parts, and found that the coils and shafts inside were mainly broken, and the lubricating oil and coolant inside needed to be replaced.

She had to go to the city again because there were too few things in the county.

The next market day, Wen Qing took 200 kilograms of rice to the grain station and ground about 170 kilograms of rice. She collected the rice bran in a space, and when no one was around, she went into the space, put on makeup, carried a backpack and went to the market to sell it.

Then she picked up another 200 kilograms of rice to grind. After grinding, she put it all into the space. In one month, she went to grind rice every market day and ground all the 3000 kilograms of rice in the space into rice.

The market times in several nearby towns were different, so she took turns going to these towns to sell 2000 kilograms of rice and 4000 kilograms of corn, earning about 2000 yuan.

After December, the wheat, broad beans, peas and mustard in the fields have grown up, and there is less work to do in the fields.

The food needed for the collective pigs and cattle to survive the winter has also been prepared.

The weather outside was getting cold, and most of the villagers stayed at home to hibernate, eating only two meals a day. The fire pits in their homes were basically burning all day long. Wen Qing asked the team leader Lin Changsheng for leave to go home to visit his relatives.
