Chapter 290 Coming to the door

Zhou Guo nodded, "Of course."

Several people were overjoyed. If they learned this skill, they would have another way to make a living in the future. They could make a lot of money a year by making traps and leather, and they would no longer have to go hungry like this.

She hung a few rabbits in the breeze-blown corridor and said, "When the weather gets hot, the meat will spoil and stink easily. You should eat less spoiled food. If you can't finish it in a short time, hang it in a well-ventilated place. It will dry and last for a long time."

"As long as we can fill our stomachs, it doesn't matter if it's smelly or bad. It's all delicious. This little bit of meat won't last long for so many of us. We'll finish it in two days at most. Why do we need to air-dry it?"

Everyone nodded. That's right. It was just a little bit. Besides, if you had meat, you had to eat your fill. Otherwise, if someone else snatched the meat away, you would regret it so much that you would want to die immediately. You would rather eat until you were full than leave the meat for others.

Zhou Guo thought about it and felt that it was understandable. Since he couldn't keep it, it would be most cost-effective to eat it himself. He had no intention of changing their habits. The environment was different, so he should not talk without thinking.

She led them to dig a hole in the ground, put grass, branches and stones in it, and put the big wild boar in the hole.

Pour the boiled hot water into the pit one by one, add some cold water, and it will take a while for the water to drain out.

The wild boar was tied with wild vines. A group of half-grown children were pulling the ropes and scalding the wild boar. The joy in their voices was a bright spot unique to this land.

The wild boar's pores were burned open, and a group of people were happily shaving the pig's hair with sharpened tiles.

By this time the sun had already set and it was pitch black outside, with the only light coming from the several fires around.

Zhou Guo had not done any work since he dug the pit. He stood aside and taught them where to cut it open, what the internal organs were, where the oil was, where the lungs were, and where the intestines were.

Everyone was busy and happy, doing whatever they were asked to do. With so much meat, they would have so many meals to eat and still be full every time.

Everyone was extremely busy.

She fetched water and watched the person wash the large intestine, washing it five times.

The bones and flesh were removed, and the meat was separated and hung in strips in the temple. The children looked at the strips of meat hanging from the beams and their mouths were wide open.

The boss also hung a pig's head up, which looked scary with its green face and fangs, but when he thought of the delicious smell, he thought it looked very delicious.

Zhou Guo asked everyone to cut up the remaining internal organs except the pork fat.

She took a dagger and cut off a large piece of fat and lean meat, then cut it into thick slices. Although the pig was big, there was not much fat.

Others were holding tiles to cut up all kinds of internal organs, including large intestines, small intestines, pig kidneys, lungs, hearts, pig stomachs...

It’s a pity to waste the pig blood, there’s such a big basin of it.

There were pots on both fires, but one pot was not enough for so many people.

The thick layer of fat was put into the pot, and the oil sizzled out. The fragrance filled the entire ruined temple and drifted outwards, spreading for half a mile.

The children squatted by the side with their bowls in their hands early in the morning, drooling so much that their mouths were stretched to their ears when they saw so much meat.

The internal organs were put into the pot in order of hardness and fried until fragrant. There were some wild onions among the wild vegetables dug up, and Zhou Guo picked them out one by one and fried them together in the pot.

It's just that this clay pot doesn't work very well. The fire is not strong enough so the food is not quite cooked through, and it can't be fried if there is too much.

She poured most of the pot of water into it, added some firewood, and let it simmer. When it was almost done, she sprinkled some salt in it.

This is a big pot of pig-killing dish.

Although boiled food is not as fragrant as fried food, it is also very good.

The children held their bowls and ate with their mouths drooling, looking very satisfied.

Zhou Guo was given a full bowl of rice, which was so full that it was overflowing. After all, she had made the greatest contribution, and no one had any complaints.

The taste was naturally not that good in her opinion, but eating with so many people, she also enjoyed it very much.

While we were eating, suddenly a lot of people came in from outside. Before they even entered the door, loud voices came in.

"Damn, who is cooking meat in this broken temple? Why does it smell so good? I've been eating plain soup for more than half a month without any meat at all, and here there are fish and meat. I want to see who is cooking meat."

When the children heard this, they finished the meat in the bowl in no time, with their cheeks stuffed full. Before they put down the bowl, they immediately ran to the corner, some with sticks took sticks, some with stones took stones, and they took whatever was handy.

After taking it, he immediately stood at the door with a fierce look, ready for battle.

Zhou Guo looked at the situation and the level of proficiency. He probably did this many times. Look at the things in his hands, some were pointed wood, some were pointed stones, all were prepared.

She stood up with the bowl in her hand, and looked towards the door curiously. She stuffed two more pieces of large intestine into her mouth and chewed them with a smacking sound. She smacked her lips while eating. If nothing else, the food smelled really good.

I saw seven or eight uncouth-looking, neatly dressed adult men rushing in at the temple gate.

She was stunned. He didn't look like a big beggar from the neighborhood. He looked more like a nearby villager. Were the little beggars often robbed by the nearby villagers?

When a few people came in, they didn't care about the little beggars with weapons at the door. They turned their heads to look around the temple. In the light of the fire, they saw the rows of meat hanging under the beams. They couldn't move their eyes and looked at the meat greedily.

"Oh, there is so much meat, big brother. We brothers are in for a treat. You guys are really capable. It's been a long time since we last saw you. Where did you get such a pig?"

"Tsk, it must have been stolen at the foot of the mountain. We just lost a pig today, and it was this big. It's not easy for an old lady to feed a pig. She got up early and cut grass in the dark, and raised it to this size. It was about to be slaughtered, but it was stolen by you little bastards. Tell me, how are you going to compensate for this?"

The boys were furious when they heard this. Their faces flushed red as they shouted, "You're talking nonsense. Your home is not here at all. How can your home be down here?"

"That's right. The people living down the mountain have all run away. There's no one here. You guys are here to steal our things. Every time you find something good, you come and grab it. How come your nose is sharper than a dog's?"

The person on the other side didn't get angry when being called a dog. Instead, he laughed out loud and was extremely proud.

"It's originally ours. I didn't pursue the fact that you stole my things, so you should thank me. Move aside. The old lady worked so hard to raise the pigs, and I helped her out from morning till night every day. I should have a share of the meat. Come on, brothers. I'll treat you to a meal. They're all our own food, so don't be polite."

"Who dares to come forward?! If you take another step forward, don't blame us for being rude."

"Hey!!" There was a roar so loud that the roof of the dilapidated temple was almost shaken off.

The children waved the stone sticks in their hands forward and glared angrily. Although they were facing an enemy that was many times stronger than them, no child, from the big to the small, retreated.
