After working hard for half an hour, I finally picked all the bitter melons in the bitter melon field, even the ones that were pecked to pieces by the birds. They thought it was still edible to break off the area where the bird had pecked, and they could not waste food in such difficult times.

When everyone returned to the cave, they found that they were happily killing wild boars outside the cave. Because Li Qingxiu didn't come, the team's two big wild boars were killed first.

Qingfeng Li saw Li Qingxiu coming back at the entrance of the cave. He immediately pushed the stroller and walked up to Li Qingxiu. The little man looked at Li Qingxiu up and down with red eyes: "Sister, are you not injured?"

Li Qingxiu knew that this time Qingfeng Li was frightened. She quickly hugged him and comforted him: "Don't worry, sister is fine. Nothing is wrong."

Qingfeng Li withdrew from Qingxiu Li's arms and said with excitement: "I heard that you killed four big wild boars by yourself! Sister, you are really amazing, I admire you so much! They are all so envious of me for having such a powerful person. Where’s my sister!”

Suddenly thinking of something, Li Qingfeng pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "Even Li Yuanbao tells others that you are his eldest sister. He always forgets that we have separated."

Li Qingxiu looked at Qingfeng Li's cute little appearance and couldn't help but rub his little head with itchy hands. "I will only be the elder sister to you and your sister. Come on, I will take you to see wild boars!"

Qingfeng Li had already seen the wild boar from a distance, but his sister was not here and he was not in the mood to watch. Now that he saw adults busy killing wild boars at close range, his eyes couldn't help but widen.

Li Qingxiao in the stroller was clamoring for a hug, but Li Qingxiu didn't hug her because she was dirty. After Li Qingfeng picked her up. When Li Qingxiao saw the little wild boar on the ground, he stretched out his two little hands to touch it.

Naturally, Li Qingxiu would not agree. The wild boar was dirty. She asked Li Qingfeng to hold her closer and have a look, but Li Qingxiao wanted to touch her, and would cry loudly if he couldn't. No matter how much Qingfeng Li coaxes him, it won't work.

Li Qingxiu suddenly remembered the little puppet she made last night. It was said to be a puppet, but it was actually a small dumpling made of a small square cloth wrapped with some cotton, with a simple version of a little orange cat embroidered on it.

She took it out from her crossbody bag and stuffed it into Li Qingxiao's hand. Li Qingxiao stopped crying and squeezed the little stuffed doll curiously. Suddenly she giggled happily. Li Qingxiu breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that Li Qingxiao likes this little puppet very much.

Although there is water now, it is not easy to get it. Li Lei asked everyone to make several large fires and then burn the wild boar. After the pig hair was almost burned, he used a kitchen knife to scrape the black layer on the surface of the pig skin.

This is a big project, and there are several people scraping each pig with kitchen knives. Li Qingxiu asked them to help kill the four wild boars. She also told Li Zheng that the biggest pig would add food to the team as a reward for this help.

She also had three large wild boars weighing 300 pounds in her storage compartment. Seeing how troublesome it was to kill the pigs, she actually wanted to take these three wild boars out and let everyone help kill them.

Unfortunately, these three wild boars did not cross the open road. It's not easy for her to take it out. Besides, a girl owns six wild boars. Isn't this forcing others to become jealous and murderous?

Everyone was surprised when they heard that Li Qingxiu actually gave the team the largest wild boar. The big wild boar was estimated to weigh between five and six hundred kilograms.

It seemed that they could eat a few more pieces of meat tonight. Thinking of this, they were so happy that they worked harder.

At this time, Li Zheng came over and asked Li Qingxiu what to do with these bitter melons?

There are two sacks of bitter melon that Li Qingxiu picked herself. The green balsam pear in the team has six large bamboo baskets, and the mature yellow balsam pear has two bamboo baskets. So she stopped giving bitter melon to the team.

She asked Li Zheng to have someone process the yellow bitter melon first. The red seeds could be taken out and eaten, but the hard seeds inside should not be thrown away and washed. They could be stored for planting later.

As for the green bitter melon, the women first dug out the seeds and then sliced ​​them, then soaked them in salt water and then stewed them with the meat. Add the yellow bitter melon when the stew is almost done, because the yellow bitter melon is relatively soft and will cook quickly.

Li Zheng nodded. He asked Li Qingxiu not to cook tonight and to have a big meal with the team. Li Qingxiu thought about it and nodded in agreement. Qingfeng Li loves barbecue, and Qingxiu Li has asked Li Lei to help roast the wild boar.

She is still worried about what to do with the two big wild boars. Now if the weather is cold, she can also make bacon or bacon sausage.

But the weather is too hot to make bacon. After much deliberation, I can only make pork soaked in oil. Li Qingxiu could still claim that one wild boar was placed on a donkey cart, but two wild boars were too much.

Finally deciding to give one to Li Dazhuang and the others, Li Qingxiu called the Li Dazhuang brothers. Let them carry a wild boar away.

The brothers naturally refused to accept it. Li Qingxiu told them that the donkey cart could not fit in the cart and it would be a waste if they could not finish the food.

Li Dazhuang and Li Erzhuang looked at each other and finally divided the pork into four parts. In the name of Li Qingxiu, each of their families received one share, one share was given to their in-laws, and the other share was given to the Li Zheng family.

Of course, Li Qingxiu didn't know the brothers' decision at this time. She was preparing to boil lard. As soon as she started cooking, Mrs. Chen came over with Li Zhaodi and Li Xiaocao.

It turned out that they felt sorry for accepting so much pork from Li Qingxiu, so they came to help. Li Qingxiu did not refuse. After all, such a big pig was too big for her to handle by herself.

At this time, the sky above the platform halfway up the mountain was filled with the strong scent of lard, and everyone was swallowing saliva as they went about their work.

The children who had no work to do gathered around the big iron pot, sucking their fingers in their mouths and staring at the lard residue in the pot.

The women who were responsible for frying the lard were afraid that the oil would splash on the little children, so they asked them to leave, but no one was willing to leave.

The woman was helpless and sad, so she could only fish out some lard residue that was almost fried and let it cool down before letting them share it with the little kids.

The children got their wish and ate the lard residue, so they excitedly surrounded their adults. Li Zheng also smiled when he saw this scene. How long has it been since he was so happy and lively? Even the New Year is not so festive.

After the lard residue was boiled, they took out the cleaned jar and put it in it. They ran back to the mountainside to pick it up. Fortunately, they picked it up, otherwise there would be no jar to put the lard in.

Li Zheng also gave each family a small jar. The women who took care of the housework were so happy that they couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear.

Next, we started to stew the meat. The meat was cut into thin slices by the woman. With so many people in the team, everyone could eat the meat. When it was almost fried, we added water and put in the green bitter melon slices and stewed it together.

With the help of the big and small Chens and others. When they were free, Li Qingxiu and Li Qingfeng squatted next to Li Lei, watching Li Lei roast the little wild boar until it was squeaky and oily. The siblings couldn't help but swallowed together.
