When Sui He arrived at the open space, it was already crowded with people.

Sui He squeezed into the crowd and walked to the front. Two wild boars were already bleeding and lying on the ground. Two strange men were skinning them.

The bodies of the two pigs were covered with bloody holes of various sizes. They looked very scary, but no one among the onlookers was afraid. They were all discussing the dangers of chasing wild boars just now.

"Sui He" Lin Wangxiang saw Sui He coming, walked up, and handed the dagger in his hand to Sui He: "This is your thing, where did you get it, it's really sharp, I will go and make an identical one tomorrow."

When wild boars were running around, the villagers had to work hard to injure them. But Sui He's dagger was so sharp that it was tied to a stick. A poke from a distance would create a bloody hole.

These two wild boars fell so quickly, thanks to this dagger

"This is a gift from a friend." Sui He took the dagger. The dagger had been cleaned. I don't know if it was because of the blood, but the whole blade was shiny. Sui He took a look at it and put the dagger into the scabbard. He held it in his hand. He couldn't put it in the space because there were too many people and too many eyes.

"Who are those two people?" Sui He pointed at the two people busy at work. They looked unfamiliar. She had never seen them before.

"They are two brothers. The elder one is Xiao Nan and the younger one is Xiao Bei. They are hunters from the next village. They happened to pass by our village while hunting in the mountains. When they saw us encountering a wild boar, they lent a hand." After taking a look, Lin Youxiang came to Sui He and said, "It was them who shot the wild boar's eyes blind."

"Oh, is that so?" Sui He nodded, watching the two men skinning the pig skillfully. Most hunters know how to handle their prey.

"You are the girl being chased by the wild boar, right?" Xiao Nan, who was cleaning, saw Sui He, put down what he was holding, and spoke to Sui He.

“Yeah,” Sui He was a little embarrassed. After all, being chased by a wild boar was not a good thing, not to mention that she fell down. “Thank you for saving me. If you hadn’t shot the wild boar’s eyes and made it lose its direction, I’m afraid I would be lying down now.”

When Sui He fell, she saw clearly that someone shot an arrow over her head and hit the wild boar.

"It's nothing, as long as you're okay." Xiao Nan continued to deal with the wild boar in his hand. In August, the meat couldn't be left alone, so it had to be processed as soon as possible.

The wild boar's skin is thick and its hair is thick and hard, and it is difficult to remove it even with boiling water.

I might as well just cut it off and take only the meat.

The two men moved quickly, and the short knives in their hands were very sharp. With one cut, the wild boar's skin and flesh were separated.

Wild boar skin is very good leather. If it is processed well, it can be made into clothes and shoes that are both warm and light. Unfortunately, the bodies of these two wild boars are covered with wounds of various sizes, which destroys their integrity. Obviously, they cannot be used.

"Sui He, how are you? Are you not hurt?" Village Chief Zhao came up. He saw it on the mountain today. If Sui He hadn't fallen suddenly, the wild boar would have hit him.

"I'm fine, just a minor skin injury." Sui He shook his head and watched Xiao Nan and Xiao Bei divide the meat with great interest.

"It's okay. Bring some more meat back and ask your grandmother to give you some more." The village chief nodded, and seeing that Sui He was fine, he didn't say anything.

The pig's internal organs had been taken out and piled aside. Several aunts were cleaning them and washing out the heart, liver, spleen and lungs.

The intestines smelled too bad, so I put them aside and planned to wash them in the river later. However, the smell of wild boars was even stronger than that of domesticated ones. Sui He covered his nose and moved away from them.

The two big pig heads had been cut off. Someone in the village dragged the heads aside, covered them with straw, and set them on fire. Sui He could already smell the burning hair.

The wild boar has too much hair. I don’t know how long it will take to scald it with boiling water, so I just burn it with fire.

When the villagers saw the village chief coming, they all gathered around and asked, "Village chief, what should we do with this wild boar meat?"

"The two pigs together weigh nearly 1,000 kilograms of meat. All the villagers have contributed, so we will divide the meat among the households. Each family will get a few kilograms, and the injured families will get more." The village chief thought for a moment and continued, "We won't divide the pig heads and pig feet either. We will stew them for the whole village to eat together."

"Great!" The villagers who were watching cheered immediately after hearing what the village chief said. They were happy just thinking about how they could eat it and take some home to enjoy it later.

Eating meat is a big deal for them. A big pot was set up not far away, and several aunts were peeling garlic and washing ginger. The wild boar had not been castrated, so its smell was particularly strong, and a lot of seasoning had to be used to cover it up.

There are already many tables set up on the open space.

The pig's head and pig's feet have been cleaned and thrown into the big pot to stew.

These two pig heads are very big, they are divided into several pieces, and it takes many pots to stew them all.

More than a dozen stoves were lit, and the water in the pots was boiling. The wild boar meat was too rough to be cooked in a short time.

The two hunters had already cut the meat into even-sized chunks, and the villagers lined up to get their hands on the meat.

After the meat was divided, some people did not leave, but stayed to continue to chatter about the wild boar, with smiles on their faces. Today's Qingshan Village is even more lively than the Chinese New Year.

"Suihe, take it, this is yours." Suihe also lined up. When Village Chief Zhao saw Suihe coming, he took a piece of fat and lean pork belly. This was what Suihe had agreed to at the beginning. She wanted pork belly.

Most of the villagers in the village like fat meat, and they take it home to boil it into lard, which can be eaten for a long time.

"Thank you, village chief." Suihe carried the meat and put it into the backpack brought by Anzhi.

"Take it back quickly, and remember to come and eat meat later." The village chief picked up another piece and handed it to the villager behind him, not forgetting to remind Sui He.

"Hey, we'll be there in a minute." Sui He and An Zhi took the wild boar meat and headed home.

The village chief gave Sui He a very large piece of pork belly. It was very heavy. Sui He carried it home and found out after taking it out that it was not pork belly but seven-layer pork belly which was even more delicious.

"Second sister, what is the Seventh Floor?" An Zhi also looked at the meat in Sui He's hand and asked curiously.

"The seven-layer building is the tastiest part of the whole pig. It has one layer of fat and one layer of lean. There are seven layers in total.

This kind of meat is used to make pork with preserved vegetables, and Dongpo pork is very delicious. "When thinking of the soft and glutinous Dongpo pork, Suihe drools a little

I had planned to pickle this piece of meat and eat it later, but it was a pity to pickle it because it was so rare.

"Really?" An Zhi's eyes lit up when she heard about the delicious food. She had eaten well and slept well these past few days, and her complexion had improved a lot.

"It's true." Anyway, it was still early and the meat in the village would take a long time to stew, so Sui He didn't worry about it.

Wash the meat, cut it into squares the size of Anzhi's fist, and ask Anzhi to go to grandma's room to get some embroidery thread.

When Anzhi brought the embroidery thread, Suihe tied the meat into a cross shape so that it would be more flavorful when stewed.

The skin of this meat is gone, I don't know if it can be stewed

Boil water in the pot, pour the meat in, blanch it, take it out and wash it clean

Then she started to stir-fry the sugar color, and only realized after she finished that she didn't have soy sauce and cooking wine. If she had wine, she could use it instead, but she didn't have any wine now.
