The next morning, each member of the Cheng family boiled two duck eggs and went to clean the foundation with their family members. From a distance, they could hear the shrill howling of a wild boar coming from the trap they dug yesterday.

Cheng Laosi and Cheng Laowu ran towards the trap.

"Slow down, don't get too close, be careful of wild boars that might come out and hurt people!"

Seeing this, Old Man Cheng hurriedly reminded.

Cheng Laoer picked up a big stone and threw it into the trap. The stone hit the wild boar, making it furious. It roared wildly, which made people tremble with fear. After a long time, the wild boar stopped howling.

"I'll go over and take a look first, you guys get behind me!"

Old man Cheng plucked up his courage, gripped the hatchet tightly, and slowly moved towards the trap with shaking legs.

I saw a big wild boar weighing three or four hundred kilograms lying in each of the two traps.

The wild boar in the trap in front of him was lying angrily in the trap, with its two long fangs stuck in the wall and broken at the root.

The other one might have broken its leg. When it saw humans, it tried to stand up several times, but fell down again in pain.

"Old Five, go and ask your uncle, second uncle, and your cousin to come over and help."

The few people we have are definitely not able to deal with these two wild boars, so we need to call more people.

The homes of Cheng Dafu and Cheng Erfu were not far from Old Man Cheng's. When they heard that their brother's family had caught two big wild boars with a trap, they were so excited that they took their tools and ran over there without saying a word.

The news that Old Man Cheng's family had hunted two big wild boars spread throughout the valley in an instant, and the villagers put down their work and came to help.

Two wild boars weighing several hundred pounds were carried to the edge of the pond. Cheng Dagen had already been waiting there with his food.

"Last time when my little one was one month old, my family should have treated everyone to a meal, but we were short of money, so we had to bring our own food. I'm really ashamed."

"Today, these two big wild boars will serve as my invitation to everyone to celebrate the full moon."

After saying that, he bowed to Cheng Dagen again.

"Thank you for your hard work, Big Root."

"It doesn't matter whether the family is tired or not. I'll just eat two more pieces of pork later."

"Okay, okay, eat a few more pieces. Let's eat as much meat as we can tonight!"

"it is good!"

Cheng Dafu's eyes lit up as he looked at the big fish swimming leisurely in the pond.

"Come on, some people, go down and catch some fish, and then we'll have some fish soup tonight."

"I come!"

"And I!"

"......"

Plop....plop...!

The young men jumped into the pond like dumplings and rushed towards the big fish with murderous intent.

The crowd became lively, some helping to slaughter the pig, some carrying firewood, some carrying iron pots...all busy and having a great time.

The women refined the lard, washed the freshly picked wild vegetables, blanched them in hot water, scooped up the boiling lard, added a little salt and mixed them, and a bowl of refreshing and greasy cold wild vegetables was ready.

"I caught it! I caught it! What a big fish!"

A huge fish weighing dozens of kilograms was thrown to the shore and was jumping hard towards the pond, trying to stay away from death.

The children swarmed forward happily to grab the fish's tail, and once they caught it, they dragged it to the shore.

Soon they caught more than a dozen big fish. It was not until Cheng Dafu called for a stop that the young men went ashore with a sense of unsatisfied desire.

The young and middle-aged men consciously moved the chopping boards, slaughtered the big fish and chopped it into small pieces. Zhang and her friends then made the fish meat into delicious dishes.

Pour lard into the pot, fry the chopped fish head until browned, add water, cover the pot and bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat, and the milky white and fragrant fish head soup is ready.

Add salt, ginger, garlic, five duck eggs, a little rice wine, and a small amount of rice flour to the fish meat. Marinate for a while, heat the oil to 60%, and fry it in a pan. It will sizzle in the pan. After it is shaped, slowly slide it down until it is golden and crispy, then take it out. The crispy outside and tender inside fried fish pieces are ready.

Cut the pork belly into squares, pour a little hot water into the pot, add some white sugar, and a little oil to prevent clumping. When the caramel color appears and many fingernail-sized bubbles appear, add hot water and the sugar color is ready.

Heat the pan with cold oil, add the pork belly, and slowly stir-fry over medium-low heat until the oil comes out.

Pour oil into another pan, put the drained fish pieces in and fry until golden brown, then remove from the pan. Shell the cooked duck eggs, put the eggs into the pan, fry until the skin comes out, and remove from the pan.

Put the fried tiger skin duck eggs and fried fish pieces into the pork belly pot, stir-fry with the pork belly for a while, add rice wine, ginger, garlic, add the sugar color that has just been boiled, then add water and cover the pot, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer on low heat for a while, remove from the heat, and the fragrant, rosy, fatty but not greasy braised pork is ready.

..........

As the saying goes, each of the Eight Immortals crosses the sea, each showing their magical powers, and everyone is busy in the field of their expertise.

With the experience of working together in previous times, this big pot meal was prepared quickly.

As the delicious dishes came out of the pot, the whole valley was enveloped by the rich aroma of meat.

Cheng Dafu and a group of older people of his generation were sitting on a big rock with the old patriarch, happily teasing the little baby in Old Man Cheng's arms.

The sun hung in the sky like a big fireball. It took off its golden gauze clothes and no longer had any dazzling light.

It is like a naughty child, who, tired of playing, lazily falls into the arms of Mother Earth. The sky turns red, the white clouds turn red, the valley turns red, everything turns bright red, so much red, so red, just like the lights and decorations during the New Year, as red as the feasting and revelry.

"The meal is ready!"

Mrs. Xie shouted happily to Cheng Dafu.

"Uncle Six, the meal is ready. Shall we eat now?"

Cheng Dafu looked at the old patriarch and asked for his opinion.

The old patriarch stood up tremblingly and looked down the mountain.

"It's getting dark and they haven't come back yet."

"Maybe they were delayed by something. I'll ask the kitchen to save some food for them later."

"Let's go, don't keep everyone waiting!"

The little ones have already run back and forth several times, and their saliva is about to flow down three thousand feet like a waterfall in front of them.

The smell of fireworks day and night, and the gentleness of cups fill the world.

It was a feast of delicious food, which came to an end with the arrival of night.

Until the moon was high in the sky, the group of people who went out were still nowhere to be seen.

People began to feel worried and uneasy, so much so that even late at night, many people lit torches and looked out of the cave.

It was destined to be another sleepless night. Before dawn, many people were already hesitating and wandering outside the village chief's cave.

Cheng Dafu, who also had dark circles under his eyes, came out of the cave exhausted.

"It's not even daybreak yet. Why are you blocking my doorstep instead of sleeping?"

"Village Chief, I shouldn't bother you so early, but I'm really worried about them. How about we organize a few more people to go and welcome them?"

"It's still dark and wild animals are everywhere. If we go up to the mountain now, we'll be walking into a tiger's mouth."

"Let's wait a little longer. Maybe they are tired from traveling and are looking for a place to rest."

The village chief disagreed, and there was nothing anyone could do. They had no intention of working and could only sit and wait.

The moment the sun came out, everyone couldn't help but come to the village chief's cave again.

Everyone looked at Cheng Dafu eagerly, seeming to want to say something but stopping themselves.

Just when Cheng Dafu was hesitating.

"They're back, they're back, big brother and the others are back."
