Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 29 Whole Pig Banquet

Jiang Yutong felt that the mountain people were simple and brave.

An ordinary young man with a baby in his arms is willing to run a mountain road just to see if a wild boar cub is alive or not.No one paid him a salary, but he ran without complaint.

Being able to see such simple folk customs is the harvest of her trip.

After Cheng He got away from people's sight, he quietly asked in his heart: Where are the wild boar cubs?
The Venus in the body trembled slightly, forming a golden circle of light, which floated forward.Cheng He followed immediately.

To be honest, he was willing to come here only because he had this thing.Otherwise, with such a big mountain, who knows where the wild boar nest is?Does anyone know how long it will take?
Soon he came to the edge of a small mountain depression, where three little brown wild boar cubs huddled together, shivering.

The wild boar cub is very small, about the size of a cat, and it may have just been born in the past two days.At this time they are still waiting for their old mother to give them milk.But I'm afraid they won't be able to drink it again.

Cheng Xinxin stared at them with two jewel-like eyes.

Forget it, take it back and keep it!Cheng He thought helplessly.

Such a small suckling pig, I don’t know if I can keep it alive if I take it back home.But throw them here and starve or freeze to death in less than a day.

He untied his bamboo basket, paved it a little bit, then covered it with thick withered grass, and put the three suckling pigs in it.

Fortunately, they are small, otherwise they would not fit.And it's not too heavy, only a little over three or four catties.

There was nothing in his bamboo basket at first, that is, half of kudzu root that he didn't finish eating yesterday, and a few catties of Gastrodia elata left for him by the mountain people.

After being covered with thick dead leaves, it is not afraid of being crushed by these suckling pigs.

Cheng Xinxin watched her father busy, and asked with wide eyes, "Dad, are we going to raise them? What if they need to be fed?"

Cheng He teased her: "Then save your milk powder and give them to eat, okay?"

Cheng Xinxin thought about it seriously, and then asked, "Okay, so what should I eat?"

Cheng He said with a smile: "Then share yours, you eat half, they eat half, okay?"

Cheng Xinxin frowned, and said helplessly, "Oh, that's the way to go. They're so small, they must drink milk powder, and they can't eat, otherwise they can eat daddy's!"

Cheng He laughed.

Chatting with children is a lot of fun.

When putting the three suckling piglets into the bamboo basket, he quietly gave each piglet a circle of light.From here to walking back, it will take until the afternoon at the earliest, during which there is nothing for them to eat.Hope the power of the aperture can keep them alive.

Cheng He hurried back, and the wild boars over there had already been tied up. Several mountain people pulled the rope together and tried it, and they could move it.

Several men worked together to pull the rope, and the pig was dragged under the rolling logs, which also saved them some effort.Otherwise, something weighing five hundred catties would not be able to be carried back on such a mountain road.

When they saw the little wild boar cub brought back by Cheng He, some felt sorry for it being so small that they had no milk to eat;
The village chief, Cheng Hongyuan, looked at it with hooked eyes. He originally wanted to ask Cheng He for one or two, but he thought it would be troublesome to feed such a small thing.

But there was always a hint of envy in his eyes.If the three milk pigs grow up, they will be three pigs!How much is that worth?

The tourist teams on the other side were still frozen.

Zhou Qiang hoped that Jiang Yutong would go down the mountain with them, but Jiang Yutong was determined to go to Taohua Mountain, and no one could convince anyone.

The rest of the people didn't have any opinions, just waiting for them to decide the winner.

Cheng He picked up the all-purpose curved stick and crutch again, and walked with the mountain people with the child in his arms.Jiang Yutong followed without any explanation.

Here, Zhou Qiang sat on a rock and forced her to stay with a broken leg, but Jiang Yutong didn't look back at all.

Li Tao, who gave Zhou Qiang a wad of money to Cheng He, said to Zhou Qiang at this time: "How about this, Qiangzi, they will help you down the mountain first. If you are worried, I will follow Jiang Yutong. It will be no problem at all."

Zhou Qiang sneered with his mouth crooked: "Are you planning to seize this opportunity, right? Just now she was going to follow her into the mountain, and you didn't say a word, but now you go up to show courteousness. It's a good plan!"

Li Tao also responded with a sneer: "If you step on a horse, you really want to catch and bite someone, Jiang Yutong will like you like this?"

"What's the matter? Does she like you?" Zhou Qiang was angry.

Li Tao ignored him and followed Zhou Yutong and the mountain people's team directly.

Hearing these conversations, Cheng He was stunned to himself. He thought that this travel team was all good brothers and buddies when they came out to play. How could they know that the interior is also a mess. Such people can actually form a travel team?

But he was too lazy to worry about that, he had to carry three howling suckling pigs on his back, and also hugged a daughter who might ask all kinds of brain-burning questions at any time, which was enough to make his head big.

Jiang Yutong is really a strange girl.She doesn't seem to be very old, and she shouldn't be very familiar with the mountains and forests, but she can keep up with the mountain village people who walk like the wind all the way, without complaining about being tired or tired.

This girl has a very special temperament.Of course, she's also pretty.

And Li Tao, who followed her all the way, followed her unhurriedly, trying to please her by telling various jokes.But this person is obviously much stronger than Zhou Qiang.

He speaks very well, although it can be seen that he wants to get close to her and please her, but he will never behave in a disgusting manner, but shows a very educated demeanor and a very gracious appearance.

If you put it elsewhere, a man like this is very attractive to girls.Tasteful, knowledgeable about advances and retreats, knowledgeable, eloquent, and rich.

Jiang Yutong also treated him better than Zhou Qiang, but only slightly better.

Cheng He didn't have the heart to listen to these messy things.But while driving the mountain road in a boring way, I heard it even if I didn't want to hear it.

Jiang Yutong didn't have much interest in Li Tao who followed her, but was very interested in the folk songs of the mountain people. When eating dry food and resting at noon, the mountain people sang folk songs as usual, and Jiang Yutong happily took out his mobile phone to take pictures.

Cheng He smiled.

Some people think that life in the mountain village is very bitter, but some people think it is very happy. It depends on how you look at it.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, everyone finally returned to Taohua Village exhausted.

The people who stayed in the village and did not go out, looked at these people who returned with full load, with envy in their eyes.I heard that each of them dug up a few catties of gastrodia elata, and I only hated myself for not going there.

Of course, some of them are already very old, and there is no way to go deep into the mountains so far away.

When the wild boar in the back was dragged back, it made everyone comment and envy.

At this time, someone suddenly shouted: "Tonight there is a whole pig feast in the village! Each family should bring their fellows and go to the ancestral hall to help."

The whole pig banquet, as the name suggests, is a feast of all the parts of the whole pig. The banquet is full of various parts of the pig, which is very rich.

This is a grand event only during Chinese New Year in Peach Blossom Village.

Guys, just some knives or pots and pans, tables, chairs and stools, in short, kitchen utensils.The mountain people have plenty of ways to deal with a whole pig.

The whole village has something to eat tonight!

Everyone responded and happily came to help.Those who untied the rope untied the rope, lifted the wild boar onto a cart of a family, and pulled it directly to the ancestral hall.

It is the place where the village handles major events during festivals and festivals. The pots and stoves are large and the space is wide enough to accommodate the whole village.

The village chief staggered behind, thinking to himself: Those who ride horses have no rules, who is the village chief?I am!When you said you were holding a whole pig feast, did you ask Lao Tzu?Has Lao Tzu agreed?

A bunch of bastards!
