Hearing the sound, everyone stopped and looked behind.
Soon I saw Yuan Bao driving three little piglets over. If any piglet ran slowly, this guy would go up and bite it on the butt.
Driving Piggy to Jiang Che's side, Yuan Bao ran up to him like a dog and stuck out his big tongue to ask for credit.
Jiang Che's mouth twitched. No wonder Yuanbao disappeared as soon as he arrived here. He went to ambush the little wild boar.
What a clever guy. When they saw Yuan Bao driving the three little pigs over, everyone was very interested, and the old village chief even laughed.
"Yunshan, your dog is well-raised and knows how to bring things to the house."
"These three little piglets will be doomed to return to the mountains without the care of the big pig. I think your family might as well raise them as domestic pigs, and they can still sell them at a good price during the Chinese New Year."
"Village Chief We don't raise wild boars at home. They are very ferocious and they eat a lot. You should give them to others."
Chen Xiuzhi shook her head when she saw the three wild boar cubs. Not to mention they were edible, but they were also wild, untamed, smelly, and extremely troublesome.
And how many leftovers can their family of three have to feed them? They are just a burden, and they might as well kill them for meat now.
The village chief didn't expect Jiang Che's mother to refuse, and then looked at the others and asked.
"Since the Yunshan family doesn't want it, what about you? If anyone wants to raise one, just take one back."
Everyone also looked at each other in shock. Their family was worse than Jiang Che's family. There were only old people and children at home, and they couldn't afford to bother these big guys. They didn't have to make a big noise when they brought them home, and they didn't have to do any farm work.
Everyone shook their heads and said they didn't want to raise these guys. The village chief was in trouble now and couldn't just let them go.
This is the disadvantage of not having young people in the village, making it difficult to do anything.
"Grandpa Village Chief, I have an idea. What do you think? Since no one wants to raise them alone."
"Then treat them as the property of the whole village. Build a special pigsty and let everyone take turns raising them for a week. What do you think about whether they will be sold or eaten by the whole village?"
Jiang Che stood up and came up with an idea at this time.
"Okay, Xiao Che, this is a good idea."
"Just do it this way, we can raise the family for a week and there will be no pressure."
The villagers immediately nodded in agreement. It is not easy for the whole village to raise three wild boars, and wild boar meat is not cheap now!
"Okay, since you agree, then follow Xiao Che's idea, catch the piglet, and go back to kill the pig for meat."
The village chief waved his hand, and the villagers immediately carried the wild boar back to the village happily.
I haven’t seen such a big wild boar in a while, but I’m in for a treat today!
When everyone returned to the entrance of the village, they were immediately surrounded by people, and they all ran up to see what was strange.
"Stop hanging around, go and call Jiang Heipi over alone, and ask him to take care of everything. Today, the whole village will have a share in the wild boar slaughter at the entrance of the village, and everyone will start boiling water and preparing vegetables."
The village chief saw so many people here. It was rare for the village to be lively. Such a big wild boar also made these old people and children happy.
"What a great thing! I'll call Jiang Heipi right now."
Jiang Che followed behind and watched a group of adults and aunties busy at work, as well as many half-year-old children. All of them had dirty faces and withered and yellow hair. It looked like they were caused by long-term malnutrition. Their clothes were ragged, and some even had shoes.
nothing.
Returning to Huaxi Village, this was the first time Jiang Che saw so many people in the village. The poverty in Huaxi Village was much more serious than he thought!
Seeing these children, Jiang Che couldn't help but think of his own childhood. Although life was not easy at that time, at least his parents were around, unlike these children who were left behind.
Jiang Che couldn't bear the thought of not being cared for by his parents since he was a child. He still had to fundamentally solve the backward situation in Huaxi Village, otherwise the people who left Huaxi Village to work would not come back.
Soon Uncle Heipi ran over excitedly carrying his iconic big wooden barrel. Uncle Heipi's original name was Jiang Yuegui, which is good, a very feminine name.
Uncle Heipi has been very disgusted with people calling his name since he was a child. He will get angry with anyone who calls him. At first, everyone thought it was very novel and teased Uncle Heipi. However, as time went by, everyone lost interest in his name and followed him.
His skin became darker and darker, hence his current nickname.
Everyone called him Jiang Heipi, but no one called him by his famous name. Ordinary people would definitely not be happy with this name, but Uncle Heipi was very happy.
"Village chief, I'm here. Where is the big wild boar? Let me take a look."
Uncle Heipi was very excited when he heard that there was a job. Normally, he could only use the knife during the Chinese New Year. How could he not be excited when there was a job in the summer? His butcher knife had already been hungry and thirsty!
"Well, isn't that right? You have to use some snacks and leave a pig's hind leg for Xiao Che's family. This was killed by Xiao Che."
Uncle Heipi came up to take a look, and his eyes lit up. This wild boar was really quite big! This was a real treat.
"Leave it to me, village chief. My craftsmanship is definitely the best in every village."
"And Xiao Che, you are really not a simple guy! I heard what they said on the way here, but I didn't expect that such a big wild boar was picked up and smashed to death by you!"
Uncle Heipi patted Jiang Che's shoulder with his big dark palm and said appreciatively.
"Uncle Heipi, I'm just borrowing my strength. It's not as powerful as you said. You should still show your unique skills of killing pigs. Don't stink when the weather is hot."
Jiang Che said modestly.
"You are so humble. You are the only college student in our village. If my boy were half as good as you, I would burn incense."
After saying this, Uncle Heipi didn't waste any time. He took out the butcher's knife, sharpened it and stepped forward to prepare for bleeding.
Wild boars have not been castrated, and their blood is smelly, so no one eats them, and they are thrown away immediately after being released.
Then the villagers brought boiling water and poured it into the wooden barrel. Once it was full, they threw the dead wild boar in. After boiling it for a while, they took it out and started shaving it.
The hairs of the wild boar were as thick as steel needles and very difficult to shave. It took three people to shave them off.
After shaving, Uncle Heipi found an iron hook to hook the tail vertebrae of the wild boar. Everyone worked together to hang the wild boar upside down on the ladder and began to dissect the wild boar.
Jiang Che didn't want to see this scene, so he turned around and saw Yuan Bao sneakily lying under the chopping board, preparing to steal meat.
When Jiang Che saw it, he hurriedly walked over and twisted its ears and grabbed it. Since drinking the spiritual water, this guy has become more and more energetic.
"Stay here, don't go anywhere, if you run away again, I'll break your legs!"
Yuan Bao then squatted down next to Jiang Che obediently, but his dog eyes were still looking at the bright red pieces of pork not far away.
Uncle Heipi's technique was very skillful. He quickly cut the wild boar into eight pieces and divided each piece of pork evenly.
While I was chopping meat, my hand suddenly went numb, as if I had hit something hard. I raised the knife and found that there were big gaps on the blade.
Uncle Heipi feels so sad. This knife has been with him for more than ten years, and it was ruined like this.
The angry Uncle Heipi quickly opened the pork and looked inside, and sure enough he found a yellow metal particle on the bone.
He was shocked when he saw it, and he immediately found the village chief with the metal.
"Village chief, look what I found in the wild boar meat!"
When Jiang Che and the village chief heard this, they immediately looked over and were shocked. The yellow metal made it clear at first glance that this was a bullet!
"I'm just wondering why this wild boar came down the mountain for no reason. It's because poachers appeared on the mountain. It's still a bullet like this. It's not easy to get there!"
"Heipi, look for any other bullets and find them all. These poachers are not good birds. You must notify the police station immediately."
The village chief said solemnly, Daqing Mountain has been closed for more than ten years, and poachers appear every year. These people are geese plucking, and they cannot be allowed to harm the precious animals on Daqing Mountain.
