silence…
There was a dead silence all around...
Everyone looked at Su Ye and the trap with a terrifying and fanatical gaze.
Especially the military wives who witnessed Su Ye picking up a rabbit for nothing last time, their shocked eyes were mixed with an emotion called madness.
What kind of incredible luck did Su Ye have
Twice in a row, he let his prey seek their own death and crash into her and let her pick it up
The one rabbit last time was enough to make people jealous, let alone this time it’s a huge one
How many people here have never had a bite of oil in their stomachs? I'm afraid they have long forgotten what pork tastes like...
The one who was most shocked was Li Hongli. One second she was using science to mock Su Ye, and the next moment she fell into the trap like a wild boar.
Although Li Hongli's father held a high position and the family had plenty of food, it was just enough to fill their stomachs. Her parents had three pounds of meat coupons every month, and being able to taste meat once a week was considered very good. Eating the meat paste buns in the cafeteria once a month was considered a luxury for her.
However, Su Ye was about to own a pig, and this pig was enough for her to eat pork every day, and she couldn't even finish it in three months
No matter how rich Li Hongli was or how well-off her family was, she couldn't help but hold her breath at this moment.
No matter how cheap pork was in the past, in the years of famine when demand exceeded supply and pork was hard to find even on the black market, hunting a wild boar would undoubtedly mean getting rich overnight.
She couldn't understand why such good things always happened to Su Ye? Why was it always Su Ye
Counting the previous two times, this is the third time she has had such bad luck!
Once this person gets stuck in a dead end, he will easily end up in a dead end. Although Li Hongli still doesn't understand the concept of "non-African", and can't calmly accept her bad luck, at the same time, there is also a lucky European emperor next to her, and the resentment in her heart has reached its peak.
He Meimei covered her mouth in surprise and looked carefully into the trap, only to see that the wild boar had been stabbed to death by the sharpened wood. It rolled its eyes and took its last breath, completely lacking the ferocity it had when it was alive.
"Oh my god, Su Ye, come and see, it's so big!"
Fang Xiulian was completely stunned. She stood there in a daze, repeating: "It's so big, it's really big, how can it be so big?"
Everyone came closer to take a look. This wild boar was indeed quite large, and the pit of the trap could hardly hold it.
The wild boar's mane was majestic and thin like pine needles, its round and straight nose was pointing to the sky, its flesh was solid and thick, and its plump belly was like an eight-month pregnant baby, round and pleasing to the eye.
In this day and age, people compete with animals for food, and wild vegetables, tree barks, and grass roots have all been dug up by people. How could this pig still eat so much and become fat? Did it live on nothing? How could it be so fat on such a barren land
"Oh my god, this pig must weigh hundreds of pounds, right?"
Su Ye took a look and found that it was indeed much bigger than she had imagined. It was not the 40-pound body she had expected, but the pig in the trap was estimated to be nearly 100 pounds.
She thought about it and figured it out. She extracted 40 kilograms of pork belly, which does not have a single bone. After removing the skin, bones, and offal from the pig, 30 kilograms of pork belly would be good. Although the live broadcast room was stingy, it seemed that it was fair in redeeming the prizes.
Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, Su Ye quickly patted Gu Xiangqian who was staring blankly at the person beside him.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and take the pig home. I feel so bad for the blood dripping from it. It will be such a waste if you just spill it all!"
Gu Xiangqian was no less shocked than He Meimei and Li Hongli.
It's impossible for wild boars to appear in such a place...but it caught a wild boar.
However, now is not the time to be surprised, we must move the wild boar home as soon as possible. Otherwise, if we delay for too long, something unexpected will happen and the wild boar will be snatched away by others.
Gu Xiangqian carefully pulled out the tip of the trap, lifted the wild boar's legs, took a deep breath, and carried it on his back.
The wild boar was now covered in blood. When it was lifted up, the blood gushed out and stained Gu Xiangqian's neat clothes. However, he did not despise it and his brows were not wrinkled at all.
Su Ye looked at the blood gushing out, feeling extremely distressed. Fortunately, the military wife who came with her to pick wild vegetables brought a basin for fish, and she quickly lent one to her, so Su Ye was able to catch the pig's blood.
This fresh pig blood is also a delicacy! It is rich in vitamins, proteins, calcium, iron, zinc and selenium, and is a rare nutrient.
After collecting a basin of pig blood, Su Ye and Gu Xiangqian put the pig on the bicycle and pushed it away from the river beach.
The people around watched their backs gradually disappear. No matter how envious or jealous they were, they did not dare to openly snatch the fat wild boar.
They could see clearly that this tall soldier was wearing a Type 55 military uniform. No matter how scoundrel or hooligan he was, he could not act like a scoundrel in front of the PLA soldiers.
After the couple left, everyone looked at the trap and fell into a frenzy.
"Do you think we should have a litter of wild boars?" someone suddenly asked.
Wild boars are herd animals, and the one that just died didn't look like an adult. Even the traps on the plains and riverbanks can catch wild boars, so aren't there more wild boars in the mountains
"It's very likely. Wild animals like wild boars need water. There is a river here, and maybe the wild boars settled along the river."
Before the wild boar was hunted, everyone used theoretical experience to laugh at Su Ye. This time, the wild boar was picked up by someone, and everyone racked their brains to find the rationale for the wild boar's existence.
Everyone stared at the hot trap and went into a frenzy.
"This trap belongs to me!" A man picked up a sharp stick thrown on the ground, quickly inserted it into the trap, and declared his ownership.
"What do you mean by you? How can it be yours? This was dug by a soldier. Do you have any shame?"
A group of people were arguing over the trap, and they were about to start a fight.
Everyone's expressions changed so quickly that He Meimei didn't have time to react. She just burst out laughing.
She felt vaguely familiar with this scene. Wasn't it just like the last time they went to the river to pick up rabbit hair? But last time, they dug by the river until dark and didn't find a single rabbit hair.
…
Su Ye and Gu Xiangqian pulled the wild boar back to the troops on bicycles and delivered it to the canteen.
The cooks in the canteen were shocked when they saw the whole pig. They looked at the pig as if it were a treasure.
Su Ye pointed at the wild boar and said, "This is the wild boar we caught. We can't finish eating it all in a short time. Master, can you take the pork and give us some meat coupons?"
This is really amazing! In such a large military compound, with tens of thousands of people, the amount of pork consumed every day is only a few dozen kilograms. The pork brought by Su Ye enriched everyone's meals.
The two chefs skillfully cut up the pork, separating the bones, the water, the front leg meat, the hind leg meat, the pork belly... They worked for half an hour and finally managed the wild boar in an orderly manner.
The chef weighed them one by one, "20 kilograms of meat from the four legs, 12 kilograms of pig head, 20 kilograms of pig offal, and 56 kilograms of pork with bones."
"There are 108 kilograms in total. Can I give you 50 kilograms of meat coupons? If you want raw meat in the future, you can go to the army kitchen with the coupons to get meat. If you don't want meat, you can go directly to the window to get meat."
A 108-jin pig was exchanged for 50 jin of meat coupons, which seemed to be a loss, because Su Ye had originally exchanged for 40 jin of pork belly. As long as Su Ye had the meat coupons in the future and was more alert, he would make a profit by exchanging more pork belly.
Su Ye nodded hurriedly, "Sure, sure. I'm happy to be able to contribute to the army!"
She looked at the delicious pork trotters and pork knuckles and swallowed her saliva. "Master Yang, can we take some pork knuckles and bones back to make some soup?"
Pig's trotters are boneless and have little meat, so they are not valuable. The kitchen used 50 kilograms of meat coupons to exchange for more than 100 kilograms of wild boar, which was a good deal. The cook thought about it and agreed to her harmless request.
Su Ye contentedly carried four pig's trotters and weighed two kilograms of pork ribs with meat and went home.
Gu Xiangqian couldn't help laughing when he saw her money-obsessed look.
After Su Ye got the pig's trotters, he changed his clothes, washed his hands, and went to cook himself.
Gu Xiangqian's cooking skills were not good, so he was usually asked to make some breakfast. He could not ruin such a high-quality ingredient as pig's trotters and Su Ye.
She planned to make braised pig's trotters. After removing the hair from the trotters, she blanched them in boiling water to remove the fishy smell. She used a pot to refine the sugar into sugar juice. Su Ye put the pig's trotters into the pot and skillfully fried them until they turned into sugar color. Then she served the trotters. Then she fried the onions, ginger, garlic and soy sauce in the pot until they were fragrant, and poured the sauce on the trotters continuously.
Add water to the pot to cover the pig's trotters, add bay leaves, star anise, and cinnamon. Suye turns down the air vents of the coal stove and turns the high heat to low to collect the juice from the pig's trotters. After doing these things, Suye washes the tender elm seeds.
In spring, the elm trees have just sprouted, and the whole tree has burst into tender yellow-green buds, so tender that you can squeeze out water. It only takes a short while to pick perilla leaves, and you can pick a large bunch of them. No wonder the old people call it life-saving food in famine years.
Su Ye washed and picked a piece to eat. The young elm seeds were sweet and the more she chewed, the more fragrant they became. She used a basket of elm seeds to make elm seed cakes and elm seed rice. After the rice was steamed, Su Ye asked Gu Xiangqian to watch the fire while she corrected the homework.
When the water in the casserole was almost dried up, Gu Xiangqian followed his wife's request and used a spatula to continuously pour the juice onto the pig's trotters.
He patiently stood by the stove, his nose filled with a rich aroma. How could the canteen's cooking be as particular as Su Ye's? Even though it wasn't time for dinner yet, Gu Xiangqian was already hungry.
If he calculated carefully, he hadn't eaten meat for a week. When he saw meat again, Gu Xiangqian actually felt it was unreal.
They have 50 kilograms of meat coupons, isn't that enough for them to eat meat for half a year
The sauce made the pig's trotter shiny and red. When the sauce became thick, Gu Xiangqian scooped out the pig's trotter.
The two pig trotters were thick and wide. They had been stewed in the stove for nearly two hours. Even the thickest skin was softened. Su Ye poked in with chopsticks and broke them apart. He could see the snowy white meat inside, which was a full inch thick.
Su Ye's eyes widened as he watched. This pig was really fat! It was definitely not comparable to a lean wild boar.
Slurp, I'm so hungry just looking at this, it smells so good! I licked the screen dirty
Food is really hard to come by, and it is not easy to have this meal!
Hahahaha, of course. This is our free-range wild boar. It is guaranteed to be fragrant, plump, soft and delicious.
In this case, Su Ye did not hesitate. She used a knife to slowly cut the thick pig's trotter into thin slices. The meat slices had distinct layers, a layer of bright red pig skin, snow-white fat, and light pink lean meat. She used chopsticks to sweep a slice and dip it in the sauce, just like snow-white silk stained with ink.
A drop of sauce rolled down from the end of the meat, and the close-up shot in the live broadcast room was instantly magnified.
Su Ye opened her mouth, held the drop of sauce, and swallowed the thin slice of meat with her tongue. She chewed it for a while, squinted her eyes, and sighed comfortably.
Ahhh, I'm dying! I was attacked by food late at night, and I also want to eat pig's trotters
I'm going to pick up a knife and kill the anchor!
I am convinced. It is hard to imagine that such harsh conditions can make eating broadcasts/sweat-wiping
Each of them had a pig's trotter. Although Su Ye and Gu Xiangqian were not the kind of people who were extravagant and wasteful, they finished the two pig's trotters in one meal without realizing it. Not only did they eat them all, they also mixed the sauce for the trotters with elm seed rice and elm seed cakes and ate them all up.
When Fang Xiulian and her husband visited again, the dishes on the table had been eaten cleanly, not even a drop of sauce was left.
Su Ye exhaled happily and said enthusiastically: "Mao Gang, sister-in-law, do you want to eat elm seed cakes?"
The smile on Fang Xiulian's face disappeared. Where was the wild boar? The room only smelled of meat, but there was no sign of a piece of meat. She felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over her.
"Brother Xiangqian and sister-in-law, where is the wild boar you caught this morning?"
Su Ye felt amused. When there was meat, she called her sister-in-law, and when there was no meat, she called her Su Ye. Did she want to share her meat
"Wild boar, we sent it to the canteen to exchange for meat tickets. We finally got a wild boar, we can't be so wasteful and eat it all."
Li Maogang sat down and ate some elm seed rice handed to him by Su Ye. He chewed it and relished the aroma. "This elm seed is so tender! Xiulian, come and sit down and eat!"
