Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free
Chapter 467: Braised Pork
This time, Gu Tongwan actually found an excuse to go out and drive a pickup truck, and loaded the pickup truck with a lot of mutant pork. Most of it was pork hunted at the pig farm, and another part packed in snakeskin bags was bought from the meat processing plant before, about 300 kilograms.
Those bought from the meat processing plant have basically been processed, but the mutated pork in the space has not been processed yet. These few days, while the store is not open, we can process the mutated pork, especially the internal organs, which still need to be processed.
I processed a batch with Yan Fan last time, but the store will open in two days, so it would be better to process all the remaining pork at once.
She found a place without surveillance and took out the pickup truck. She then placed all the pork in the back of the pickup truck. She also took out some vegetables that were easy to store, such as winter melon, pumpkin, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc., each weighing 50 kilograms. Finally, she covered it with a black waterproof cloth. In this way, no one knew what was in the back of the car.
It was already 1:30 in the afternoon when Gu Tongwan came back. Yan Fan was taking a nap. He went out after hearing the sound of a car engine. He saw her driving the familiar silver-gray pickup truck into the yard.
As soon as he saw the pickup truck was full, Yan Fan immediately went forward to help unload the cargo. After opening the waterproof cloth, what he saw was a large lump of pork, or to be more precise, it was a whole pig.
I still remember that I helped Gu Tongwan cut up the pork last time. This time, after counting carefully, I found that there were at least a dozen pigs in the car.
"Sister Wanwan, these pigs are not what I thought." Yan Fan frowned, obviously a little bit unbelievable that he had to deal with so many pigs at one time.
Gu Tongwan patted his shoulder and said, "That's right. You and I will deal with the pork in the next two days. So don't practice your supernatural powers these two days. Come with me."
Yan Fan's eyelids couldn't help trembling slightly. He finally understood why Sister Wanwan asked him to be mentally prepared before going out today. It turned out that he would be a "butcher" for the next two days.
When unloading the cargo, in addition to the mutant pork, there were also two little goats, but the little goats had been dissected.
Although the meat currently available at the base's breeding farm is mainly mutant pork and chicken, there are actually cattle, sheep and donkeys. The only difference is that they are more expensive than pork, and because they are difficult to breed, they are basically only supplied to a certain group of people. The cheapest meat is mutant rat meat, but as the economy in the base gradually recovers, except for some residents in the outer circle who occasionally hunt mutant rats, most people are unwilling to eat rat meat, because rat meat is hard and has a sour and fishy smell. Unless it is marinated with a lot of spices, it is difficult to eat. If people are not so poor that they can only eat this stuff to fill their stomachs, normal people really don't want to eat these mutant rats that are randomly found in the sewers and feed on some kind of garbage.
However, Gu Tongwan did not plan to sell fresh meat in the store this time, as fresh meat could easily cause too much trouble. First of all, her mutated pork would easily be discovered by insiders.
First of all, the hair of the mutated pork is gray-black, the fur is coarse and hard, and there are fangs growing at the corners of the mouth. The weight can generally grow to about 300 kilograms. As for the meat quality, it is rose-red after cutting, and has less fat than the pork before the end of the world. That is because the mutated pork may evolve into a mutant beast with superpowers at any time, but the probability of this is relatively small. It is said that there have been only two cases of mutant pig mutations at the base farm, but this kind of mutated pig can only be transformed into the lowest level of mutant beast, and it is difficult to form a crystal nucleus in the body, so this matter did not attract much attention at the base.
In fact, no matter whether it is a mutated pig or a mutated cow, as long as the livestock has undergone mutation, the muscle and fat distribution has changed. For example, pork will become more chewy when eaten, and mutated beef will easily have a strange smell if it is not handled properly. As for mutton, there is not much mutton fat, and it tastes dry and tasteless. The same is true for chicken and duck. Both the taste and flavor are incomparable to before the mutation.
But there is only one advantage, that is, the nutritional value of all edible mutant meat is two to three times that of before, which means that only a very small amount of mutant meat is needed to meet the nutritional deficiencies in the human body.
Before this, Gu Tongwan also tried to buy some mutant meat and cook it herself, but only the mutant pork and chicken with a slightly lighter taste were acceptable after being made into spicy flavor. Other meats with more obvious tastes, such as mutton, beef, and duck, were really hard to swallow. She especially remembered the first time she ate mutant mutton, which had been braised with spices for a long time, but the mutton smell that went straight into her nose still made her feel uncomfortable and tears streamed down her face.
Thinking that the meat in the space was enough for her to eat for two lifetimes, she gave up trying to adapt herself to the mutated meat.
"Please move all the vegetables to the room on the first floor." Gu Tongwan directed Yan Fan while unloading the goods.
After putting all the vegetables in place, Gu Tongwan laid a layer of plastic film in the yard to prevent blood from splattering everywhere when handling the pork.
Perhaps because of the smell of blood, the blood vines on the back of her hand began to stir. The other two blood vines placed in the yard also gradually moved closer to the mutant pork. However, without her order, these blood vines dared not move easily.
A total of fifteen pigs were placed on one side. Gu Tongwan carried two small stools from the living room. She had changed into an old sportswear and put on an apron. Then she took out a disposable raincoat and handed it to Yan Fan.
Yan Fan is responsible for bleeding the pigs first, and then boiling water to remove the hair. After that, he has to use a flamethrower to burn off some of the hair on the pig skin that cannot be removed. He is very familiar with the whole process.
Although he was somewhat surprised that the pigs seemed to have died not long ago and the blood seemed to be still warm, the strange thing was that the electrocution wounds on these pigs seemed to be in different locations. Some were stabbed in the head, some were cut in the throat, and some seemed to have been hit to death. He had never seen a farm that still killed pigs in this way.
However, if these pigs were transported back from outside the base, it might make sense. For example, there seem to be quite a lot of free-range mutant pigs in the black market camp, or they might have been brought back from hunting in the big forest in the north.
Seeing him working in an orderly manner, Gu Tongwan smiled and joked: "Yan Fan, it would be convenient if you were a fire-type mutant, and you could save me some spray guns."
Yan Fan could only smile bitterly at Gu Tongwan's joke: "Sister Wanwan, it would be great if you could open a smoothie shop or a cold drink shop. My special ability can definitely help you."
"If business is good, I'll get a freezer in the store in the summer and sell some freshly squeezed juice. You'll be responsible for making ice cubes for me, but you'll still have to freeze the remaining meat for me later. Our big pot isn't big enough, so I guess we can only braise one and a half pigs first. I'll take the remaining meat to Aunt Man and the village chief's house."
Yan Fan glanced at the first pig that had just been processed, and watched Gu Tongwan take it over and start cutting with the knife. Her movements were very fast, and she had cut all the parts of the plucked pig into pieces in less than half an hour.
As if stimulated, Yan Fan also sped up his own pace. When Gu Tongwan was dissecting the fourth pig, he had already plucked the hair from all the pigs and joined in the process of dismembering the pork.
It lasted from 2:30 in the afternoon until 8:30. The lights in the yard had been turned on and the two people mechanically repeated the same work.
After get off work, Liao Yunyun still asked her colleagues to take her to Gu Tongwan. This time, she took some time during the day to go back to the community to get some clothes to change. She originally planned to stay at her best friend's house for three to five days. She was already eating and living at her house, so she couldn't even take her clothes.
However, as soon as she walked out of the yard, she immediately smelled a strong smell of blood. Almost subconsciously, she quickened her pace and rushed to the gate, banging on it.
Yan Fan raised his head and ran out to open the door before he had time to wipe the blood off his body. The main reason was that it would disturb others if he continued knocking.
When the door opened, Liao Yunyun almost screamed with fright. Fortunately, Yan Fan was quick-witted and had taken off his gloves when he opened the door, so he pulled Liao Yunyun in with force.
"Sister Yunyun, look carefully, this is not human blood, it's pig blood, pig blood!" The first time I saw Yan Fan sweating profusely in a hurry, it was not when he was fighting the enemy, but because of Liao Yunyun's terrified expression as if she was about to scream at any time.
Gu Tongwan was still holding a machete in her hand. She thought Liao Yunyun would not come back today. In addition, she and Yan Fan were "immersed in dismembering pork", so she did not notice Liao Yunyun's call at all.
Liao Yunyun looked at the plastic sheet on the ground and the two people in a mess. The other side was filled with pork. The muscles on her face finally relaxed. She forced herself to calm down. "What are you doing?"
The smell of blood in the air was so strong, but if you smelled it carefully you could tell that it was not human blood. Instead, it was the smell of raw meat from a meat shop in a vegetable market.
"I'm cutting up the pork. I plan to make some braised meat to sell later." Gu Tongwan said truthfully.
Liao Yunyun went to the living room to put her bag down before coming out and said to Gu Tongwan, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"If possible, can you help me heat up the food in the refrigerator? Yan Fan and I haven't had dinner yet, so you can just put it in the microwave and heat it up."
"At what time did you start working on this?" Liao Yunyun asked with some disbelief in her tone.
"About half past two."
This means that these two people have been doing this for six hours straight, and it looks like they have only finished half of it.
"Let's do it tomorrow. How long do we have to do it now?" Liao Yunyun put her hands on her waist, not understanding at all. She asked again, "With so much meat, didn't the meat processing factory help you process it?"
Gu Tongwan shook his head: "The goods are not from the meat processing plant, but from another breeding farm outside the base. An acquaintance introduced them to me. They are only responsible for slaughtering pigs, but you need to break down the meat yourself. If you really want them to process it, the labor cost is too expensive." Regardless of whether the other party believed this statement or not, no one could really find out anything anyway.
"Then I'll go heat up the food. After we finish eating, I'll help you guys. But... I don't know how to do these. Anyway, just tell me what you can let me do." Liao Yunyun didn't mind the dirtiness. After all, she had tried to hunt some small mutant animals before entering the base. For example, she had caught a wild rabbit in the big forest in the north. At that time, she used the hunting rifle issued by the station. The wild rabbit had half its head blown off by her double-barreled hunting rifle.
Dinner was a homemade hamburger that Gu Tongwan had prepared early in the morning. It was filled with fried chicken, bacon, two leaves of lettuce, and filled with salad dressing and pickles. It tasted quite delicious, especially the hamburger buns, which were semi-finished products bought on the shopping platform before. She bought more than 500 such hamburger buns at one time. In addition to the semi-finished products, she also bought several hundred hamburgers from KFC, McDonald's, and a certain Sting. She only ate less than one-tenth of them in the past few years. After all, she didn't eat hamburgers every day. She only ate these fast foods when she was hunting outside or acting alone and was too lazy to start a fire.
After the three of them finished their burgers, they went back to "dividing the meat". Liao Yunyun was not very good at cutting meat, but she was adept at classifying and packing the various parts and marking them. She quickly put the parts for braised meat in a foam box on the side. Finally, Yan Fan used his special powers to freeze the meat so that it would not go bad for at least two or three days.
At 1:30 in the morning, all the pork was finally processed. The three of them were so tired that they could hardly straighten their backs. Liao Yunyun couldn't stand it anymore and ran upstairs to wash up. The rest of the cleaning work was temporarily handed over to Yan Fan. However, before returning to the house, Gu Tongwan still gave orders to several blood vines in his mind. After Yan Fan returned to the house, the blood vines outside could clean up the blood stains and bloody smell left in the yard. Although the yard had been washed, the smell of mutant animal blood was still very strong, and the blood vines could absorb the blood in the air.
Liao Yunyun got up at eight in the morning and went downstairs sleepily, only to find that her good sisters were busy in the yard early in the morning.
At this time, there was a big iron pot in the backyard. She and Yan Fan were putting several pieces of pork weighing more than ten kilograms into it. Then she saw her put two large bags of marinade, some soy sauce and table salt in it.
The living room and kitchen were also not idle. Some beef that had been brought back was stewing in the pressure cooker in the kitchen. However, the beef that was brought back last night had been processed in advance, and there were only a few dozen kilograms in total, so it could be braised directly in the kitchen.
The marinade packets used for braising were all prepared by Gu Tongwan himself. In addition to various spices, a lot of seven-star peppers and Sichuan peppercorns were added, supplemented with a large amount of dark soy sauce to make the color look better, and cooking wine to remove the fishy smell. Then rock sugar and table salt were added for simmering. Because the meat pieces were large, the whole process was estimated to take several hours.
During this time, she also prepared a pot of boiled eggs and mutant chicken feet that she had prepared in advance. The mutant chicken feet were very large, more like turkey feet. One was as big as a human palm, and there was a lot of meat in the palm. If braised properly, it would definitely taste good.
Around noon, the aroma of the braised food gradually spread in the yard, immediately arousing the appetite of some people in the villa.
