Chapter 541: Burnt Pig

Chapter 541: Burnt Pig

At the dinner table, Mr. Su and the others were chatting away. Su Ziling was eating hard, she was really hungry.

I had an early breakfast and walked around the county a few times. I didn't eat anything at noon. When I came back, I bought a lot of things and carried a heavy load. I also walked on the mountain road for an hour, and I was so hungry that my chest pressed against my back.

"Eat slowly, eat slowly, how is your third aunt? Is she okay?" Su A'nai looked distressed and asked while picking up vegetables for her.

"Don't worry, Grandma, Third Aunt and the others are fine. Besides, Qingjiu and Shiba are still here."

"That's it. By the way, do you plan to kill this pig and send it to the county?"

Today is the 22nd, and there are still ten days before the fourth day of February, but the pigs have to be killed one day in advance. Whether they are picked out for sale or sold in the village, you need to ask for help.

You have to ask people for help in advance, otherwise they may not be available if you ask for help at short notice.

"I thought that after killing it, I would ask if anyone in the village wanted it. If so, I would sell some, and then leave half of it to my uncle's family, and give away the rest to sell."

Su Ziling thought about it for a moment. The big one looked like 167, and the small ones were estimated to be around 150.

Except for the bones, there really wasn't much meat. They ate the internal organs themselves, and if someone bought the meat, they could consume some of it.

It's just that wild boars are fishy and don't fetch a good price.

腥？

Su Ziling's eyes lit up, she could sell a pig on fire!

"Grandma!" She suddenly said, startling everyone.

"Surprisingly," Su A'nai glanced at her with a smile, "What did you think of again?"

Su Ziling chuckled, "I thought, if this wild boar is slaughtered and sold like this, the meat will be fishy, ​​so it will definitely not fetch a good price. Otherwise, let's burn it into a roasted pig and sell it."

"There are still rapes in the past two days. I'll go to the fields to find some and pickle them with water. When the time comes, I can eat the pickled vegetables and mix them with the roasted meat. I can also sell them in the mountains or in the county. This is much more cost-effective than selling raw meat."

"Roast meat?" Mr. Su and the others looked at each other, obviously not hearing it.

Thinking that Su A'nai was well-informed, everyone focused on her again.

"Mom, do you know how to roast meat?"

Su A'nai slowly shook her head, "I've never heard of it. How do you do this? Burn the pig on fire? Do you burn it directly with fire?"

"Yes," Su Ziling nodded, seeing that no one was aware that she was speaking carefully, "kill the pig, pile it with straw or pine hair and slowly burn it until the pig is completely black, then rinse it with water and use The skin is scraped clean with a knife. The scraped pig skin is golden brown and can be cut directly and mixed with food without any fishy smell. "

The more Su Ziling talked about it, the brighter her eyes became. When it came to the roasted pig, she was so greedy that she swallowed her saliva. After she finished speaking, she noticed that everyone had strange eyes.

"What...what happened?"

"Are you sure it can be cooked like that?"

Su Ziling shook her head, "It's half cooked."

Everyone was silent.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Su's mother asked, "Doesn't that mean we have to eat raw meat?"

Su Ziling scratched her head, "It's not considered raw meat. It takes more time to cook. I estimate that it takes about an hour and a half to cook a pig. You can't use firewood yet. You can only use pine hair. Burn it slowly to remove the skin and fat." It must be lean, and the lean meat should be medium-rare, and there won’t be any blood when it’s broken open.”

"It's not much different from well-done." Su Ziling added. She also just thought of it. Modern pigs are much larger, weighing three to four hundred pounds, while that one can only be medium-rare.

She weighs more than 100 pounds and is like a piglet. After cooking it for an hour, it is estimated to be fully cooked.

When he heard that it was cooked, Mr. Su breathed a sigh of relief, "Ready? It's done when it's cooked," and then his voice changed, "But where did you learn how to eat it?"

"Oh, Chen San and the others told me that they had eaten it elsewhere and it was delicious. I thought we should try it too." Su Ziling had told too many lies, but her face didn't even change when she said it now. .

"Try one, just in case it doesn't work." He had never heard of this way of eating, so Mr. Su thought that he would just burn one, and if no one dared to ask for it, he would keep it for himself.

"That's okay. Burn one end first, and then you can cook the second end if the taste is good."

Of the three pigs, the one given to the uncle's house must not be burned, and only the remaining two pigs can be burned.

Burn one end in the morning and try it yourself first. It tastes good and you can burn it in the afternoon.

After the roast pig was decided, Mr. Su briefly mentioned to Su's father how many people to ask for help and which people were suitable.

The rice was done and the pig food was cooked. It was a little hot when it came out of the pot, so Mother Su poured the unfinished rice soup she had drained out in the morning directly into it.

Now that the weather is starting to warm up, it will go rancid tomorrow morning, so I might as well feed it to the pigs now.

She tested the temperature with her hands and found that it was no longer so hot, so she took the torch and went to feed the pigs.

The water that had just been poured was gone, and the little piggy curled up in the corner and fell asleep. When he heard the noise, he started up in a swarm.

Seeing the person walking away, he tentatively came over to find something to eat.

Su Ziling and Su's mother put out the torches. The mother and daughter squatted aside and stared quietly. They were relieved when they saw that all the pigs came to eat, and the feed intake was not bad.

The little piglet stayed like this for the time being. As more and more surrounding villages came to send sweet potatoes, the reputation of Baihua Cave spread.

This was also convenient for Su Ziling, as it saved her from having to run again and again.

The number of duck eggs is several times that of before. Su Ziling just started making preserved eggs, and many people started raising them. It has been more than half a year since raising them, and many ducks have started to lay eggs one after another.

In addition to the ones in this village, there are also those in Sangshuping and Liushugou. Someone comes to deliver them every three to five days, and there are hundreds of them each time.

It's just that Su A'nai and Su's mother worked so hard, washing and wrapping duck eggs, that they were so tired that they couldn't straighten their backs.

Later, one day Mrs. Liu brought Su Wenyuan to visit to help Su A'nai and the others. Seeing her quick movements, Su Ziling simply asked her to come over every day to help wrap preserved eggs.

Washing duck eggs wasn't considered strenuous work, and she didn't have to work all day long. Su Ziling gave her three hundred yuan a month, and if the workload increased in the future, more money would be added.

Mrs. Liu was so happy that she started working that day. When she went back in the evening, she talked to Liu Guilan about three hundred coins a month. This was something she couldn't even imagine.

The whole person was so excited that he was humming a tune even while cooking.

The next day, I had dinner early and went to help with Su Wenyuan. Su Wenyuan was also very well-behaved and would help deliver things and wash duck eggs.

On the twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month, Su Ziling was woken up early in the morning by the movement in the yard.

When I opened the door, I saw that the sky was foggy and the wind was blowing hard. Mother Su and the others were collecting things.

Seeing her standing at the door, Su's mother took the time to remind her, "Put your coat on, it's getting colder again, I guess it's going to rain today."

"After you are dressed, throw two bales of straw to the piglets. Throw the pine hair at the entrance of the pen to the cow pen first. Don't get wet, otherwise the pigs won't be able to be burned in two days."

"Hey, I got it!" Su Ziling yawned, put on some clothes and went to collect the loose hair.

She and Su's mother went out to catch this pine hair. It took them two days to catch enough. After getting it back, they put it next to the wall. Unexpectedly, it rained suddenly.

There were a lot of things to dry in the yard of Lao Su's house, and the whole family was busy going around. As soon as the things here were put away, the rain began to fall in a steady stream.
