Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 197 Grilled Large Intestine with Green Onions and Crispy Roasted Suckling Pig

Getting up from sleep, Lin Heng looked at Xiulan next to him for a while, then silently dressed and got up.

The same was true after Xiulan woke up. There was no way they could stay bedridden with someone in the house.

Lin Heng added some firewood to the fireplace, and then went to get some charcoal and put it in the fireplace to light it. He was going to make a pot of charcoal fire and bake it when Uncle Gao woke up.

Although your own bedroom is warm, it is never good to let outsiders in. Both parties will feel uncomfortable.

Opening the door to the backyard, the icy cold wind blew, as if a monster was roaring, making people afraid to go out.

I don't know if it was a little snowfall last night or the white frost at night was too strong. The sky and the earth were all white. There is a feeling that the rain in the courtyard has fallen this morning, and it is suspected to be the scene of the forest flowers blooming last night.

Lin Heng slept well last night and was particularly energetic today. He took Xiulan to exercise in the yard as usual.

Xiulan originally doubted whether this exercise was effective, but after practicing with Lin Heng for a period of time, she did find some benefits of Tai Chi and the Eight-part Vajra Kung Fu. At least her hands and feet were not as cold as before, and her body seemed to be more coordinated.

Lin Heng looked at her and smiled: "Exercise is just like that. It only works if you persist for a long time."

Just like those old men who exercised in parks in later generations, many people laughed at them or even ignored them, but in the end they found that they were not even as good as an old man.

Lin Heng did not stop him and said with a smile: "Let's go before we eat, uncle. Xiulan will be ready soon."

Lin Heng responded with a smile: "Haha, I am lucky to have such a good wife."

Lin Heng waved his hands repeatedly: "No, I just have a better memory."

After roasting for a while, Uncle Gao said, "Let's boil some water and take care of those little wild boars."

Lin Heng had already thought about this: "The piglet will not be cut into parts, and the head does not need to be chopped off. I will roast it whole. As for the internal organs, I will give them to Xiulan to marinate."

Uncle Gao looked at him and asked, "How are you going to eat these pork?"

Lin Heng smiled at her, and the two practiced a set of eight Vajra skills face to face. Just as they were about to do Tai Chi, Uncle Gao walked out of the room.

Uncle Gao was a little surprised: "You have a good habit. Don't underestimate the moment of exercise every morning. It has great benefits for your body."

After finishing speaking, Lin Heng asked Uncle Gao for his opinion.

While the two were plucking the pig hair, Li Baiquan came over. He came to say goodbye. He wanted to go back and ask someone to come down to help get the meat. There were so many things that he couldn't carry alone.

Lin Heng smiled and nodded: "Yes, we exercise every morning."

One customer only made rice, stir-fried four vegetables and one soup in the morning.

Xiulan nodded: "It's quite useful. I almost don't have menstrual cramps anymore."

Young people like Lin Heng are really rare. Most people sneer at him and only regret it when he gets old and sick.

Uncle Gao himself has the habit of exercising every morning. He went to the toilet and exercised with Lin Heng when he came out.

Lin Heng said quickly: "Then let's bake one today. I baked it before in the summer."

He and Uncle Gao dealt with the pig hair, while Father Lin and Mother Lin were responsible for the internal organs.

Blanch the little wild boar in boiling water for a few minutes, and the hair can be easily pulled out.

She used to have a little problem with dysmenorrhea, but now that she eats well, dresses well, and exercises every morning, the problem is almost gone.

"You guys have done a great job going up the mountain this time. The harvest is getting more and more scary." Mother Lin said with emotion as she saw the Chairman's son getting a lot of meat.

However, he doesn't do Tai Chi. He practices military style boxing, so he has to let Lin Heng learn it too.

"Haha, I learned this from others." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"That's also a skill." Uncle Gao nodded, liking Lin Heng more and more, and felt that he had similar interests.

Lin Heng would take Xiulan to exercise whenever he was at home. He didn't want his body to collapse when he got rich. If he started accumulating bit by bit, his physical fitness would be much better than others, and he would be less likely to contract diseases. .

After saying that, he went out. Lin Heng sent the man a few steps away and turned back.

After finishing the meal, Lin Heng asked Xiulan to prepare the braised meat. He and Uncle Gao continued to deal with the remaining four unprocessed piglets.

"That's okay." Uncle Gao had no objection to this. He was not the kind of person to be coy and polite.

After the water boiled, the two of them threw the little wild boar in and scalded it. If they had the tools, it would be easiest to scald the hair with boiling water.

Uncle Gao nodded: "I also want to roast one whole and eat it. You and I want to go together."

Xiulan felt embarrassed and smiled shyly without saying anything.

Because the workload was a bit heavy, Lin Heng called his father and mother together.

Uncle Gao looked at the two of them and greeted them with a smile: "You guys got up so early, Lin Heng. Are you doing Tai Chi?"

After teaching it twice, Uncle Gao said in surprise: "Are you a martial arts prodigy? I taught you twice and you can do it?"

The two of them had five little wild boars in total. After killing two of them, Xiulan rice was ready.

Both Uncle Gao and Lin Heng have a special liking for stir-fried cabbage and cold fern root noodles, but they are not very interested in meat because they eat it often in the mountains during the past half month.

After the exercise, Lin Heng took the charcoal to the main room and started cooking. Xiulan dressed Xiaoxia and asked Lin Heng to take her with her. She went to the kitchen to cook.

"Okay." Lin Heng nodded in agreement, stood up, took the hot water and threw it into a bucket to boil water.

She had only seen this scene of mountains of pork in her dreams, but she never expected that one day it would come true.

Li Baiquan waved his hand: "No, your mother gave me pickled cabbage noodles to eat. I'll go back now."

"Then I'll come too."

Uncle Gao ate the cold fern root powder and praised: "Xiao Lin, your life is really good, and your wife's craftsmanship is really good."

Father Lin's face was also full of joy and shock. The effect of hunting this winter far exceeded his expectations.

Uncle Gao grinned and said, "If the takin hadn't been tracked, these wouldn't be anything at all. That thing weighs five to six hundred kilograms each."

Lin Heng said with pity: "What a pity. If we track this, it's probably a herd of takin."

Uncle Gao looked at him and said, "You can take a look around recently. In winter, takin have gone to lower altitudes to spend the winter. You might encounter them."

"it is good."

Lin Heng nodded, he also had this idea.

At around one o'clock in the afternoon, the five adults finally processed all the pork, removed all the pig hair, and cleaned the internal organs.

When Uncle Gao saw Lin Heng dividing things there, he immediately stopped him and said, "Just marinate them all. Why are you dividing them?"

Lin Heng shook his head: "I will definitely divide it up, but I can't let you suffer a loss."

Uncle Gao looked blamed: "What are you talking about? I want so much that I can't finish it. If you really want to divide it so much, then I will go back now and stop playing at your house."

Seeing Uncle Gao like this, Lin Heng smiled helplessly and had no choice but to agree not to separate for the time being.

Uncle Gao grinned and said: "That's right, let's start roasting the suckling pig quickly."

"it is good."

Lin Heng first took part of the offal and asked Xiulan to marinate it. Then he went to get half a basket of charcoal and poured it on the ground in the yard to ignite it. He tied the suckling pig to a bamboo pole and put it on the charcoal fire to roast.

Uncle Gao was very interested in this and started baking it himself.

Lin Heng made a clay stove to burn charcoal, set up a wire mesh, cut the pig intestine into sections, dug out some green onions, passed them through and placed them on the wire mesh for roasting.

After a while, the strong fragrance spread first.

Father Lin didn't know what Lin Heng was doing at first, but when the aroma came out, he couldn't help but said curiously: "Your grilled large intestine looks quite delicious."

Lin Heng grinned: "This is called grilled large intestine with green onions, and it's delicious." As he said that, he took out the batch of grilled large intestine, cut it into small pieces, put it in a bowl and handed it to his parents and Uncle Gao.

He used the large intestines of piglets, which are very tender and can be eaten as soon as they are grilled.

Several people ate it out of curiosity. After one bite, the taste of large intestine and green onions exploded in their mouths at the same time. In addition to the taste, the chewy texture of the large intestine was even more memorable. It is a type that gets better and better the more you chew it.

"Not to mention it's pretty good." Father Lin said in surprise.

Uncle Gao added some barbecue seasonings and said, "Add a little chili and it tastes amazing."

"Then I'll bake a little more, there's still more." Lin Heng said with a smile.

This time Mother Lin took the initiative to come over and help him pierce the large intestine. Apparently she was also amazed by the grilled large intestine with green onions.

Xiaoxia was playing with throwing things in the yard. When she saw them eating, she ran over to want to eat. Lin Heng didn't dare to give her this, so he roasted two vegetables for her to eat.

Xiaoxia smartly discovered that what she ate was different from what adults ate. She pointed at her large intestine and said with a milky voice, "I'll eat this!"

"Here you go." Lin Heng could only hand her a small piece of roasted green onions and a little bit of large intestine.

"puff!"

After just two bites, Xiaoxia vomited out her large intestine with a pop and ate it with gusto while hugging the green onions.

"I'll eat this daddy~"

Xiaoxia said while eating.

"Okay." Lin Heng grinned. He knew this was because the green onions turned sweet after being roasted.

After the large intestine was roasted this time, Lin Heng not only distributed it to everyone, but also cut a bowl and brought it to the kitchen to share with Xiulan.

Xiulan was busy in the kitchen braised vegetables and never went out. Since she was in the kitchen all the time, her forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

Lin Heng put a piece of grilled large intestine with green onions and fed it to her and said, "I grilled it, you can try it!"

Xiulan already liked eating large intestines, and the grilled large intestines with green onions made her even more fond of them. After taking a bite, her eyes lit up.

"It's so delicious. This is all mine."

Xiulan smiled slyly, snatched Lin Heng's bowl, fed him one and then drove him away, monopolizing the delicious food.

Lin Heng was not only not angry but also very happy. He wiped his wife's sweat with a towel, went out and baked some to share with everyone.

At 5:30 in the afternoon, Uncle Gao finally finished roasting the suckling pig. He is also a patient person, and he roasted the little suckling pig until it turned golden.

Different from the last time, this time Lin Heng brushed the suckling pig with white vinegar and made crispy roasted suckling pig.

Uncle Gao pointed at the roasted suckling pig and asked with a smile: "Am I good at roasting it?"

Lin Heng and others all gave a thumbs up.

Lin Heng said with a smile: "Not only is it good, it's enough to open a shop."

Father Lin also praised: "The old man is so patient. I can't roast such a beautiful pig."

Xiaoxia sniffed and said crisply: "It looks good, smells so good~ Such a big pig~"

Uncle Gao was so satisfied with everyone's praises that he couldn't even close his mouth with smiles. He waved his hands and said, "Then let's go inside and eat quickly. It's getting cold very fast this winter."

"Okay." Lin Heng smiled and nodded. Xiulan had braised the meat in the room, so they could eat it together.

I went next door to call my eldest brother and sister-in-law, and Caiyun happened to be back.

Lin Heng chopped up the roasted suckling pig and placed it on a plate in the middle of the table. This little wild boar only weighed more than ten kilograms of meat. It was definitely no more than three months old, so the meat was very tender.

Surrounding the roasted suckling pig are the pig offal braised by Xiulan, including small intestine, pig's feet, pig's liver, and three cold dishes.

Father Lin smiled and said: "This is really more abundant than the Chinese New Year."

Lin Heng grinned and said, "Eat quickly, it will get cold in a while."

As he said this, he first gave everyone some crispy roasted suckling pig. The crispy pork skin tasted extremely crispy and fragrant, and the meat inside was fragrant and tender, without any oil or firewood.

Dip it in some barbecue sauce and eat it together. It's so fragrant that your tongue will want to swallow it all together.

Caiyun's mouth was shiny after eating. She looked at Lin Heng and asked, "Second brother, how did you make this? It's more delicious than the last time."

There were many curious people on the seats, and it was the first time for everyone to eat this crispy pig.

Lin Heng didn't hide it, and replied with a smile: "Just brush some white vinegar on the pig skin."

"So that's the case……"

Several people seemed to be suddenly enlightened.

"Come, let's drink!" Lin Heng raised his glass and said with a smile.

The food was so delicious that everyone didn't drink much and just focused on eating.

After taking a sip of wine, Xiulan gave Lin Heng a piece of sliced ​​small intestine.

Xiulan knows how to stir-fry sugar, so her marinated meat is very bright in color, showing a beautiful orange-red color.

There's nothing to say about the taste, it's full of braised aroma, and when dipped in a little vinegar soup, eating it in your mouth gives you a full sense of happiness.

dong dong dong! !

Everyone was having a great time eating, and suddenly there was a knock on the door of the courtyard.

"I gonna go see."

Lin Heng stood up and opened the half-open door of the hall and walked into the yard.

When he opened the door to the front yard, he saw Wang Jin, a beekeeper from the village, standing outside. Looking at this familiar Chinese-character face, Lin Heng still remembered the mean look on his face when he was asked to help collect bees this year.

Therefore, his attitude was very indifferent: "Excuse me, what can I do?"

Wang Jin glanced at Lin Heng, showed a smile and said, "My light bulb burned out. Do you have any extra ones? I'll buy one."

Lin Heng nodded and said, "Yes, eighty cents each."

Wang Jin's face condensed: "Wasn't it Qimao before?"

"There are so many people. The village party secretary asked me to give me a preferential price, which is only 80 cents in town."

Lin Heng said bluntly that he didn't care about a dime, but he didn't want to give profits to people he didn't like.

Wang Jin gritted his teeth, glanced at Lin Heng with some displeasure, took out 80 cents and said, "Then I'll buy one."

Lin Heng looked at the money, nodded and said, "Just wait, I'll go in and get it for you."

Lin Heng turned around and went into the house to get the light bulbs. He did have a lot of light bulbs and wires left in his house.

Seeing Lin Heng enter the house, Wang Jin, who had never been to Lin Heng's yard, also followed.

Looking at the flat bluestone floor tiles and the snow-white plaster walls, his eyes were full of envy and jealousy.

Half a year ago this was a poor boy, how could he be so rich now.

When he glanced at the large pole of pork hanging under the eaves, his eyes suddenly widened: "How... why is there so much meat!!"

For a moment, he felt as if he was dreaming, and the scene he saw was so unreal. Why are there three or four pig heads hanging on them?
