The busyness in the courtyard attracted the attention of many people, but there were only a few pheasants and hares, and many people were disdainful of them. "You need so many people to help you with just such a small amount? What a slut!"
"That's right! Just a few pheasants and hares are not enough for a wedding! What a disaster!"
Everyone knows that asking someone to help will definitely require a meal. These people were so bitter that He Yuzhu invited people from the Yan family and Liu family.
Soon their laughter stopped, and He Xiaotian brought back two wild boars. This pisses these people off to death.
He Xiaotian and Lin Ke carried a wild boar, and He Yuzhu and Liu Haizhong carried another wild boar. The middle courtyard was full of people, all pointing, but no one dared to come to help or ask for some wild boar meat.
There is no need to kill the pigs. They are already dead and cannot die anymore. They just shed their hair. The water has already been boiled, and hair removal begins immediately.
Without a handy knife, the kitchen knife went directly into battle. Six people had six kitchen knives, and the sound of shaving could be heard one after another. This scene is quite spectacular.
Once the hair is shaved clean, the intestines will be broken. The women had already carried the table out of the house, and a wild boar was placed on the table. He Yuzhu chopped off the pig's head with an axe, and then cut open the wild boar's belly with a knife. With chef He Yuzhu here, nothing will be wasted. Since the pig's neck is full of lymph nodes, He Yuzhu cut it and prepared it to be cooked and fed to Xiao Huang, who has grown up a lot now.
The internal organs were taken out one by one and handed over to the women nearby for processing. Wild boars have very little lard, not as much as domesticated ones.
"Zhuzhu, I want pork belly." Yan Fugui was waiting for He Yuzhu to cut the meat for him.
He Yuzhu's men were very knowledgeable. He raised the knife and cut out a piece of pork belly. "Here. Just a little more."
Yan Fugui didn't believe He Yuzhu, so he weighed him with a scale. Five pounds.
"Third uncle, I've been a cook for so many years, but you still can't trust me?"
"I'm not afraid that you will suffer a loss. Yes, five pounds is just right." The weighing pole almost reached the sky, but he said it was just right.
Then He Yuzhu cut twenty pounds of meat into Liu Haizhong. The bangs don't have any size, but as soon as you pick them up, you can tell that He Yuzhu has more. I have been working with iron for half my life, and I can basically tell how much it weighs once I get started.
Because it needed to be marinated, He Yuzhu cut the remaining meat into five-pound pieces, which was easier to marinate.
"Zhu, leave half of it. Send it to the Sun family later." He Xiaotian said to He Yuzhu, "Bring a pheasant and a hare with you when you go." He Xiaotian was afraid that the Sun family would be short of meat when they got married, so a fan of pork was enough.
"Oh." He Yuzhu agreed.
He Xiaotian had nothing to do. He remembered that Liu Xia was craving for roasted pheasant, so he took a pheasant and roasted it.
The second aunt also came out to help after making the quilt. Up comes the pig's head. Pork belly, pig lungs, and pig intestines are braised. Fried pig heart and liver. Just two pigs in the water are enough to eat.
Pork suet is also boiled into lard. It’s busy outside and even busier in the kitchen. Fortunately, He Yuzhu had made preparations in advance. He borrowed coal stoves from the Yan family, Liu family and the old lady, and simmered the pig heads outside.
"Er fool, I want to send five pounds of meat to the Li family." The old lady came over and said to He Xiaotian.
"Okay, you should go and deliver it. I'm afraid they won't accept it." He Xiaotian had no objection to sending meat to the Li family. The Li family is indeed in difficulty, and they are not pretending.
The old lady went to He Yuzhu and said something to her before taking a piece of meat and went to the backyard.
Everyone here was almost busy, and no one from the He family asked anyone to help, so the onlookers slowly dispersed. But only they know what they are thinking.
After He Xiaotian cut the meat, he carried a fan of pork on his bicycle and took a pheasant and a hare to Sun's house. After thinking for a while, he cut half of the rotten pork head into a bun and took it away.
"Auntie! Juanzi!" He Yuzhu called as soon as he arrived at Sun's house.
"Huh? It's Sha Zhu here!" Sun Juan knew it was Sha Zhu as soon as she heard it, and immediately went out to greet him. "Ah! Where did you get this?" Sun Juan was attracted by a fan of pork. Sun Juan's screams attracted the Sun family and other people in the courtyard.
"Huh? So much meat?"
"He is a rich man after all! This move is extraordinary."
"Yes, this piece of pork weighs almost a hundred kilograms!"
People nearby were talking a lot.
"Juanzi, help me. Let's carry the meat back." He Yuzhu and Sun Juan carried the pork into the house. Sun Youcai helped with the pheasants and rabbits, and Sun Kangmei helped with the pig heads.
"Silly Zhu, where did you get so much meat?" Sun's mother was a little curious. Who has so much meat? In fact, not only Grandma was curious, but the onlookers were also curious.
"Hi! Auntie, my brother-in-law and I went hunting today. You don't know, we caught four wild boars today! My brother-in-law and I shared two wild boars in total! There were also a few pheasants and hares. These are wild boars. Pork is not meat bought in the market." Silly Zhu explained that it was wild boar meat.
Hearing that Silly Zhu had gone hunting, Sun Juan immediately asked with concern, "Are you injured? Let me see quickly."
"No! How can I get hurt with my skills?" Silly Zhu didn't want others to know that he fell from the tree to avoid the wild boar. "Aren't there two wild boars here? I just brought one to you. By the way, Kangmei, what you have in your hand is good pig head meat. Today I am killing pigs, and the pig heads and pig guts are all there. I want to entertain the people who come to help me. I brought some pig head meat for you to lick."
Sun Juan looked at it carefully and felt relieved after making sure that Silly Zhu was not injured. "Don't go hunting in the future." How could Sun Juan not understand? Silly Zhu was afraid that his family would not be able to buy much meat for their wedding.
"Well, I won't go there in the future. In fact, I didn't do much today. My brother-in-law and his friends shot the wild boars with guns, and the pheasants and rabbits were caught by my uncle's snares. I just helped them get their things." He Yuzhu was afraid that Sun Juan would be worried, so he didn't elaborate.
"Si Zhu, let's sit down and eat together." Sun's mother poured a cup of tea for Si Zhu and wanted to let Si Zhu eat at home.
"Auntie, no need. I'll go back in a moment. I'm not done yet at home. You pickle the meat, stew the pork trotters, ribs, etc. to nourish Youcai and Kangmei." Silly Zhu drank a cup of tea. It’s like eating at Sun’s house. So she said goodbye and left, and Sun Juan sent Sha Zhu home.
"Stop seeing her off, go back quickly. I can ride a bicycle very fast." After walking for a while, Shazhu asked Sun Juan to go home.
Sun Juan looked around and saw that there was no one around. She boldly kissed Si Zhu, then ran away with a blushing face.
Silly Zhu was stunned for a moment, touched the place where Sun Juan had kissed with his hand, and laughed stupidly. "I never thought I would gain so much today!"
