Stepmother in charge: Making a fortune through farming and raising her children to fight back

Qin De was about to agree when he saw Awen behind him with a look of disapproval: "Mom, the snow on the mountain has melted and it's very cold. Be careful not to catch a cold. Isn't it better to stay at home and keep warm?"

"Don't worry, I'm an adult now, I can take care of myself. If I feel cold, I'll just go down the mountain." Yun Zhenzhen tugged at the blanket covering her body and said, "Let's go home and get something to eat, then go meet up with them."

On the way back, the two of them picked some wild garlic and Chinese cabbage from the fields. The cabbage is the most delicious during this period, with a sweet aftertaste and a good taste. It is delicious for making soup or stir-frying, and you can never get enough of it.

There is no need to look for wild garlic specifically, as there are large patches of it in the fields. You can take it home and make cold dishes with it, so Yun Zhenzhen will never miss it whenever she sees it.

This meal was simple. I just used preserved eggs to cook a pot of lean meat and vegetable porridge, and mixed it with wild garlic. The porridge was delicious, refreshing and not greasy. It was also paired with some pickled vegetables made by Grandma Qin, which was a perfect match.

Bring back fresh wild garlic, wash it, add soy sauce, vinegar, salt, mashed garlic, a little chili pepper, and a ladle of hot oil, stir well and the house will be filled with fragrance.

A few simple side dishes and a bowl of steaming porridge in winter will make you feel warm all over.

After dinner, everyone immediately changed into warmer clothes and prepared to set off.

Half an hour later.

A lot of people had gathered at the entrance of the village. In addition to young and middle-aged people, there were also many aunts gathered there, chattering and making a lot of noise.

It is conceivable how restless everyone is at home every winter.

When they heard that Yun Zhenzhen was going to go up the mountain with them today, everyone's enthusiasm continued to rise. Even the Ruyi'an people in the village thought they could catch the wild boar, which showed that the feasibility of this matter was very high.

Hundreds of people walked up the mountain in a heroic and high-spirited manner.

When they were almost there, Yun Zhenzhen observed that they had dug several large pits halfway up the mountain. If she hadn't known about it in advance, she wouldn't have discovered it and would probably have fallen into it.

When they were halfway there, she stopped walking and looked at them and said, "You guys go find the wild boar. I'll just watch from the side. It's really too difficult to walk."

The mountain road was covered with mud and even snow. Every step down was a deep pit. I don’t know how they insisted on going up the mountain every day.

The current location is quite far from where the wild boar was seen before, so there is no danger. The leading hunter gave a few instructions and continued walking up the mountain. The noisy sounds gradually faded away.

There were a few worried aunts beside Yun Zhenzhen, so they came along too. They exchanged a few words of greeting, and after a while, exclamations suddenly came from the mountain.

"Look, are you a black wild boar? Oh my god, I saw another one, look over there quickly."

"Oh my God, it's true! There are two or three wild boars in front and behind, two big ones and one small one."

"Hurry, hurry, they're running over there. Let's quickly surround them first. We can't let them scatter, and then continue to surround them in our trap."

"Everyone, quickly form a circle and don't leave any gaps. Drive all the pigs into the trap together."

"Hurry, you go over there, I'll go the other way..."

"..."

The noisy sounds on the mountain gradually became clearer, and it was obvious that they were coming towards him.

Yun Zhenzhen hurriedly took a few aunts and children and walked down the mountain. If they continued to stay here, they might be regarded as living targets by wild boars.

Although the road was difficult to walk on, it was down the mountain after all, and the few of them walked quickly to the foot of the mountain.

In contrast, the men who stayed on the mountain were all extremely excited. Each of them held the tools tightly in their hands, forming a large arc and continuously closing the mouth towards the wild boar.

Two big wild boars were fleeing quickly with one little cub, but due to the little wild boar's speed, their overall speed was slowed down.

So he was gradually surrounded by a group of men.

Unconsciously, the three wild boars were gradually driven into a trap near the halfway point of the mountain.

A wild boar had discovered a trap. Two men followed behind him and hurried to check it. They said helplessly, "We almost fell into it just now, but the wild boar was very fast, and we only got one foot in, so we ran away again."

"It fell down here!"

On the other side, a group of people suddenly exclaimed.

"What's the point of escaping a trap? We've set up several here. There's bound to be one it can step into, right?"

A group of people quickly gathered around the trap and looked at the wild boar inside: "There are only two big pigs in here, where did the little pig go?"

They all gathered around the trap, completely forgetting what was behind them. At this moment, a little wild boar suddenly rushed towards the center of the crowd.

Qin Li had just fallen behind and happened to see this scene. He raised the big hoe in his hand and smashed it at the piglet.

Again and again, the little wild boar was knocked to the ground, motionless.

Ow—

The wild boar at the bottom of the pit seemed to smell the blood. Regardless of its body being pierced, it suddenly stood up and tried to rush out of the pit.

But every day the wild boar's body was covered with wounds, and after it could no longer struggle out, it fell into the pit with all its strength, staining the soil at the bottom of the pit black and red.

There were three wild boars in total, two large and one small, weighing a total of seven or eight hundred kilograms. However, after throwing away the miscellaneous inedible things, the pure meat should only be around six hundred kilograms.

Hundreds of men carried the wild boar together, happily humming little songs as they walked down the mountain.

After entering the village, the worried aunts also gathered around. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Several butchers in the village hurried out to kill the pigs and take their blood. Some aunts also set up wooden boards nearby and started cutting the meat, from gutting the pig to collecting the internal organs and pig blood... They took back anything edible, even the pig bones to make soup.

The village chief estimated how much each person would get and announced loudly, "Go back and tell everyone to send one person from each household to collect the meat. We'll divide it up based on the number of people, with each person getting half a pound of meat. If you want pork bones or offal, you can exchange them for meat. One ounce of meat for one pound..."

In this way, everyone lined up with their bowls, from the entrance to the end of the village. The crowd was noisy and everyone had a smile on their face.

Fortunately, the main road in the village has been widened a lot during this period, which makes it convenient for everyone to line up to get meat this time.

"These men in our village are really amazing. I used to laugh at their unrealistic dreams of catching wild boars, but I never thought they would actually catch one."

"Of course not. The patrol team is already a good fighter in the village. Recently, he has been learning martial arts from Master Xiao Ning. He has learned three punches and two kicks. It is more than enough for him to catch a wild boar. Besides, if so many people go up the mountain, each of them can beat the wild boar to death with one punch."

"Now it's all right. We have fresh meat to eat. It doesn't matter if we can't leave the village."

"yes……"

"..."
