Chapter 5699 The villagers look strange
"Your big pheasants and big hares are all gone. Do you feel regretful that you can't let your grandma and aunties see your prey?"
On the way down the mountain, Yang Ruoqing asked Luo Baobao.
These were the first time she hunted them with her own hands when she was so old, they were her trophies.
As for those trophies, all were roasted for Zhui Yun and Zhui Feng to eat yesterday, and the rest were cooked and put in the tree hole to make rations for them, so Baby Luo could only go down the mountain empty-handed. That's why Yang Ruoqing asked this question.
Luo Baobao looked at the road ahead, but the corners of his lips curved in pleasure.
"I'm not sorry at all. My prey can fill the bellies of Zhui Yun and Zhui Feng, so they don't have to go hungry for a few days. They can accompany the black wolf wholeheartedly. I think it's very worthwhile," she said.
.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and nodded, "Well, it's great that you think so."
Luo Baobao looked at Yang Ruoqing and said with a smile: "Didn't Mom's prey also be given to Zhuiyun and the others? My father and Uncle Liu's were also left to them."
Yang Ruoqing nodded again, pointed to Luo Fengtang and Liu Xueyun, who were each carrying a wild boar in front of them, and said to Luo Baobao: "Those two wild boars are also trophies for the four of us. It is also an honor to carry them back to the village."
"Yes, the wild boar is a more impressive trophy," Luo Baobao said excitedly, "Last time Jingling and I worked together to subdue a wild boar, and that wild boar was not as big as these two."
…
When Luo Fengtang and Liu Xueyun carried the wild boar to the foot of the mountain and crossed the river, the villagers working in the fields on this side of the river immediately discovered it.
Everyone straightened up and looked over curiously, shouting from far away to ask about the situation. Some people simply came up from the fields and ran closer to take a look.
Luo Fengtang's pace continued unabated, and he responded to the curiosity of these villagers with a few words.
The curiosity of the villagers was not so easy to satisfy. Some of them followed Luo Fengtang and Liu Xueyun to watch. The children even rushed to tell each other. Some people surrounded Yang Ruoqing and Luo Baobao behind, asking them to explain in detail.
He was talking about how he hunted two wild boars.
Yang Ruoqing was in a good mood, and Baby Luo was in an even better mood, so Yang Ruoqing gave the stage of explanation to Baby Luo.
Surrounded by a group of people, Luo Fengtang and Liu Xueyun entered the Luo family gate carrying two wild boars.
Blacksmith Luo and Wang Cuilian and his wife were repairing the fishing boat in the yard. When they heard the noise outside, they suddenly looked up. What a good guy, they actually came in carrying these two big things.
Blacksmith Luo hurriedly leaned the fishing boat against the courtyard wall, came up to them, looked around the two wild boars, and from time to time stretched out his hand to poke the wild boars' heads and backs.
There were quite a few people poking around with their fingers, and none of them had the chance to poke the living thing. Now that this dead thing is right in front of you, you can't take a good look at it.
Wang Cuilian greeted Luo Fengtang, Liu Xueyun and the others into the house to drink tea. She then took the bow and arrow from Luo Baobao's hand and put it aside. She took it into her arms and looked at it carefully, asking for her welfare.
More and more people gathered in the yard outside. Yang Huazhong and others next door were also alerted. Everyone gathered around the wild boar to judge and comment.
"The two tusks of this thing are really powerful. Last year, all the potatoes grown in the two acres of wasteland at the foot of my mountain were taken away by these beasts, and not a single one was left for me!"
"That's right, my sweet potato field also suffered."
"Throwing a few scarecrows into the ground can only scare the birds. This thing is so clever that it is not afraid of the scarecrows at all, and even knocks the scarecrows to the ground. If a living person is in front of it, it will be knocked down.
"
"So Tang Yazi and Brother Liu are so good. They hunted two wild boars at once. Each of them weighs at least three to four hundred kilograms, right?"
"It's almost like this. I just put my head here, it can't be taken lightly..."
Everyone talked a lot. In the main room, Yang Ruoqing said to Luo Fengtang and Liu Xueyun: "You guys have a rest first. I will go to the backyard to help Auntie cook lunch. After lunch later, you all go back to the house to make up for it."
Sleep."
Of course, she herself also needs to catch up on her sleep. The only one in this room who doesn't need to catch up on her sleep is Baby Luo.
Luo Fengtang and Liu Xueyun looked at each other, and then Luo Fengtang said: "On the way back, Xueyun and I discussed it. We won't catch up on sleep in the afternoon. We should pick up these two wild boars first. The pork should be sold.
Come on, after all, it’s been almost two days since he died.”
Yang Ruoqing thought it made sense. It was already the beginning of the third month of the lunar calendar and the temperature was rising, so it was not advisable to delay for too long.
"Okay, then it's up to you. I'll go make lunch first."
In the backyard kitchen, Yang Ruoqing and Wang Cuilian discussed building a stove, using it to cook rice and a small iron pot on the pot stand for cooking.
A large iron pot was set aside, and a large pot of hot water was boiled and ready for use later when they were picking up the wild boar.
After a while, Luo Fengtang came to the kitchen in a hurry.
"Auntie, Qing'er, please boil some hot water. I called my aunt and uncle to come over and help. We will clean up the wild boar in a while."
Wang Cuilian was bending over to open the lid of the small stove, and gently stirred the rice soup and rice grains inside with a spatula.
Hearing this, she raised her head and smiled at him: "Qing'er has already thought of what you said. Well, the hot water in the big pot has already boiled to the point of bubbling!"
Luo Fengtang turned to look at the cauldron and saw that it was indeed steaming.
And his wife was standing by the side wearing an apron, looking at him with a smile while chopping vegetables.
Luo Fengtang was very happy, "Qing'er, you are so thoughtful. Then I will go tell them and they can sort it out now."
Yang Ruoqing smiled and nodded at him, "Well, go quickly!"
In the front yard, the Da Sun family carried all their pig-killing property. The Luo family's front yard was large, and a large basin was placed on the ground. They lifted a large wild boar and placed it in the basin.
A whole bucket of hot water was poured into it, making the wild boar's hair sizzle.
Da Sun and Xiao Jie each had an iron scraper in their hands, making a squeaking sound from head to toe.
Someone next to me asked: "Why don't you use a basin to catch the pig blood? Maoxuewang is so delicious!"
While shaving, Mrs. Sun explained to the onlookers: "This wild boar grew up in the mountains. It is different from the pigs we raise. It is game. It has thick hair and blood and cannot be eaten casually."
Xiaojie's father also said: "Yes, you can't even take the internal organs of this kind of game. It's best to cut off the meat and taste it."
Soon, Luo Fengtang ran back to the backyard happily, holding four pieces of tenderloin in his hand.
"Qing'er, this is the tenderloin that was just torn off two wild boars. They are the most tender and smooth all over. You can save it for our daughter to fry and eat."
Yang Ruoqing also smiled happily when she received it.
