After everything was ready, Fang Chang picked up the big wild boar, went to the stream to wash and peel it, and cut it into several large pieces to pick it up.

The parts that cannot be processed at this stage should be discarded from afar as food for wild animals in the mountains.

Putting the large pieces of meat in a clean back basket, he returned to his bamboo and wood hut, then used a few clean wood as a bracket, took out the meat from the basket and placed it on it for treatment.

I added some firewood to the fire pit. Fangchang first picked large pieces from the wild boar he brought back into thick strips, and placed them alone on a bamboo plaque. Then he cut the remaining part into small pieces, put them in the pottery pot, boiled water and blanched it in the fire pit. After changing the water, cut the wild onions and ginger into sections, boil the water, then remove the flame and simmer it on low heat.

The lid of the pot is simply woven with thin bamboo slices. It is not tight and has many gaps and holes. So steam overflows from it, floating in the house with a full scent of flesh that spreads.

Since Fang Chang has no sugar in his hand and cannot braise it, his current conditions only support the stewing method.

Wild boars exercise all day long, with more lean meat and less fat, but their meat is delicious.

While waiting, Fang Chang took two bamboo strips while tasting the tea in the bamboo tube, so that the small jade knife on his back began to peel it. During this period, he kept breaking branches as chopsticks, which was not easy to use.

Today is the best time, and two pairs of bamboo chopsticks are made.

The aroma in the house gradually becomes richer. When the pork pieces can be easily pierced with chopsticks, it means that the meat is soft and rotten. Open the bag you brought when you went up the mountain, take out a little coarse salt, crush the salt particles and sprinkle them into the jar.

Salt is the soul of cooking.

Then, Fang Chang flipped through the basket, found a few plant tuber, peeled it, cut it into pieces, and threw it into the jar. Pull more burning firewood over, quickly boil the semi-finished product in the jar, and simmered it for a while. The cooking time is right.

Fang Chang's hands were not afraid of being hot, so he took the jar from the fire. He picked up his stone pot bowl and used a bamboo spoon to serve half a bowl of stewed meat.

The sun was just right, and it was reflected through the window and shining on the food in the bowl.

The original color of cooked meat and tubers look light and not greasy. It is paired with the aroma it constantly exudes and the light color soup in the bowl, making it look extremely attractive.

Wait until it cools a little, use the newly made bamboo chopsticks to hold the delicious food in the bowl and put it into your mouth.

Stew for a long time, the meat seems to melt in the mouth, leaving only a full taste of fresh fragrance. After adding wild onions and wild ginger, it not only has no fishy smell, but also has a special flavor. The tubers are already ripe, but they have a crispy feeling when biting, and then they loosen in the mouth, leaving a soft, sweet and sweet aroma, just right.

The only thing that is the beauty is that the saltiness of the coarse salt is not positive enough, with a slight bitterness.

Unfortunately, I got it from Linxi Village last time and drank the wine I brought to Xianqiya at one time. Otherwise, I would definitely eat it more happily with sorghum wine.

For the next meal, consider using the stone slab of fried bacon last time and fry fresh meat slices.

At the same time, the large bones that are picked can be used to make soup. Unfortunately, when there is insufficient seasoning, the pork is not suitable for roasting, and there is no major cooking method at this stage.

Although I didn’t get much fat this time, Fangchang still accumulated as much as possible and prepared to use it for oil next.

Oil residue is a kind of delicious food, and lard can be used to simply cook vegetables and has many functions in life, which greatly improves the quality of life.

After eating and drinking, he began to process the meat strips on the bamboo plaque and just cut out the meat strips.

Place pig skin on the bottom, crush the coarse salt in the bag, place the long and thick strips of meat on top, and rub it slowly with salt. After feeling that it should taste good, tie the fine rattan, hang it on the roof, and hang it above the fire pit.

Fangchang usually uses firewood, mostly pine and cypress, and the smoke produced by these fuels is very suitable for smoked bacon.

Most of the salt brought was consumed, and the rest was enough to last for a while.

But looking for salt should also consider putting it on the agenda.

…………

...

Linxi Village is actually not particularly remote, because it is the official road a few miles away.

The so-called official road is the road built by the court. Due to backward productivity, it is often used to raise the road with soil, sand, stone, etc., and the drainage on both sides is simply done. It is a good road. Generally, two carriages can be used in parallel, which also means that two carriages can be allowed to pass each other while walking opposite each other.

This kind of road will be slippery and muddy when it rains and snows, which is also the norm in the world - stone roads are too expensive and can only be used in cities or on streets of wealthy villages and towns.

In the peaceful years, the official roads were frequently repaired, and there were many pedestrians, cars and horses coming and going.

The clothes riding on the donkey are like the wind, carrying the load is trembling, the mediocre and mediocre driving the ox cart, and the coming and going with the packages on their backs. Everyone is walking slowly.

After moving the shoulder pole on his shoulder, the porter named Xie took a few steps and looked up at the sun in the sky:

"The sun is so fierce this afternoon!"

The person walking with a homemade cloth next to him walked silently and responded: "Yes, it's so hot, but in just a while, at most half an hour, the sunset will feel much more comfortable after the sunset comes out."

"Um."

Passers-by with similar speeds often like to walk together. Chatting with each other can not only relieve loneliness, but also not easily get tired.

You just need to bring more water to drink, otherwise you will be thirsty when you speak too much.

It was getting late.

The sunset approaches the horizon and the color begins to turn red, making it look even bigger due to the contrast between things near and far.

The group chatted and talked about the night's rest issue.

The porter often walks this road and is very familiar with how to stay: "There is a Linxi village here. We can just walk in the evening and try to stay there. However, there are only two abandoned old houses to live in. Each person pays one or two cents and can ask the villagers to make an extra breakfast, which is very cost-effective."

The scholar who was walking with the servant next to him, and the master and servant each carried a package of books, asked in confusion:

"When I just passed by Huqiao Town, why didn't I stay there? I saw that there was still a prosperous place and there were inns and restaurants."

The porter smiled and said:

"Your Excellency doesn't know that those of us who are in the world are most afraid of delaying time, so we go as far as we can in the daytime. This way, we can save several days. Whether we can make more money is related to the family's livelihood, and living here is very cost-effective."

"You can stay in Linxi Village in this direction now. When you walk back, you can go to Huqiao Town in the evening. At that time, you were looking for a stay in Huqiao Town, which would not take the time. After all, if you have to go for more than ten miles, you might have to walk for one more day."

When people around them hear and remember these words full of life experience in their hearts.

The porter smiled and said, "Also, we all heard that something is happening in Huqiao Town, so it's better to stay away from it."

Everyone nodded and agreed.
