Chapter 317 An unexpected surprise
Zhou Guo said, "Uncle, let's continue talking after dinner. You can go back to eat first. Aunt has brought the food in. Let's go back to eat too."
There is a big pot of badger meat stewed with white radish, and next to it is a big bowl of sliced roast suckling pork. The color is rosy and shiny, which makes people's appetite grow.
Hei Dadan was wagging his tail and gnawing on bones and eating cakes.
Zhou Su held the bowl and stared at the two dishes. They were both meat and there was rice in the bowl.
Soon, his bowl was full again. It contained pork and badger meat, but not a single carrot. The rice in the bowl was long gone.
Zhou Guo said, "Try this meat. It's made from pig meat. We've eaten it at home before. This time, Master cooked it outside and saved it for you. See if you like it."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Su picked up a piece and ate it. He chewed it for a while, was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhou Guo with incredible surprise.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "It tastes good, right? Come on, eat it. I want to tell you that we have a few wild boars at home. I took you to see them. When we get down the mountain, we will cook them all. I will give you a leg so you can hold it and chew it slowly. Okay?"
Zhou Su nodded with sparkling eyes, then immediately shook her head and said, "Sister, forget it. Don't eat the little wild boar. Wait until it grows up. Then you can eat more meat. The little wild boar is delicious, but it's so small. So many people in our family can eat it all in one meal."
After these words, the whole family slowed down their eating pace.
During the past few months when this child was left outside, he probably never had enough to eat. Everyone knew that he had to raise the little wild boar before eating it. If it were before...
Zhou Guo thought about it and it seemed that the little girl could have said these words before. While she was gnawing on the roasted suckling pig with sparkling eyes and drooling mouth, she was solemnly asking her to raise the pig before eating it, or to catch another pig and let the sow give birth to more piglets so that she could have lots of roasted suckling pigs to eat.
Thinking of this, her legs were touched. She looked up and saw Zhou Su looking at her a little embarrassedly. She whispered, "Sister, we can let the big pig give birth to more little wild boars, just like eggs. Give birth to many little wild boars. In this way, we will have more little wild boars than we can eat, and we can sell them like eggs."
Zhou Guo: “…” As expected, the little guy hasn’t changed much at heart. She should be thankful that she didn’t spend too much time outside and can still recover.
Zhou Gu beside him laughed out loud, "Xiao Su, you are really smart. We didn't think of this before. We had been talking about slaughtering the big pig and eating its meat, but we didn't expect to let the big pig give birth to piglets. You really have a smart brain."
Zhou Mi looked at his silly elder brother and said, "That's easy to say. Where can you get another boar? Do you think it's so easy to catch a live wild boar? Even if you can catch one, what will the two pigs eat? Where can you get so much tender grass for them to eat?"
Zhou Mai thought for a moment and said, "It's not that hard to get food, but it's best to catch the pigs in the spring. In the spring, wild vegetables are in season, and there's tender grass all over the mountains and fields. They can eat whatever they want."
Zhou Mi quickly said, "I can go get some grass for the pigs."
Everyone was talking excitedly, as if they could catch the boar tomorrow.
Li suddenly said, "This pig is a boar."
Everyone looked at her in surprise. "Why is it a boar? This is what Mr. and Guoguo caught from the mountains. They also caught the little wild boar next to it. A big wild boar with a little wild boar is just like a sow with her cubs, right?"
The boys had never raised these pigs before. They only knew that the big pigs and the small pigs were together all day long, so they thought they were sows with their piglets. But they turned out to be boars?
This was the first time Zhou Guo knew about this. He had never paid attention to whether a wild boar was male or female before. Why would he care whether it was male or female if he was only going to eat it after raising it for two months?
However, "It doesn't matter. Boars are fine too. We have to catch boars anyway. We can catch a sow in the spring. If we are lucky, we can bring back a few wild boar cubs."
Everyone thought so too. They thought that no matter whether it was a male or a female, they would have to go into the mountains to catch them. So it didn’t matter whether it was male or female.
The old man ate a piece of roast suckling pork and squinted his eyes in enjoyment. He thought that it would not be impossible to catch one more. After all, you can't always encounter wild boars in the mountains.
These guys were very clever. He always saw only footprints but could never find their figures.
A bowl of roast suckling pork was eaten first, and a large pot of stewed badger and carrots was also eaten up.
Zhou Suli now knew that there was no shortage of meat at home, and there was delicious food at every meal. He would eat from the bowl without even raising his head, his mouth full of oil. He could eat two large bowls of rice at every meal, and his stomach was full at every meal.
Zhou Guo rubbed his belly again and didn't intend to say anything to him. The little guy had suffered so much outside and he just came back, so naturally he held the bowl and kept eating. He would be fine after a while.
"Okay, get up and walk around to help digest the food." She took his hand and stood him up and started to turn around in circles.
Before the circle had turned ten times, someone outside the curtain urged us to start today's story.
The family members had already sat down, waiting to listen.
Others listen to the excitement, but they are the only ones who listen to the hardships and dangers involved.
Little Zhou Su became even more worried and excited every time he heard it, and the knot in his heart slowly untied.
He now knew how far his sister and uncle had traveled and how many hardships and tribulations they had endured in order to find him.
At such a young age, he didn't understand many big principles. He just vaguely felt that he was trying hard to go home, and his sister and uncle were also trying hard to find him outside, so he was very happy.
The smiles on her face became more and more frequent day by day. Slowly, she stopped following Li around closely and started calling her brother or sister again.
Zhou Guo was very surprised by the effect, but it was also a pleasant surprise that just a few words could have such an effect.
He described it in even more detail, including what they ate every day, where they slept, and how they traveled, and he revealed all the hardships involved.
Everyone sighed when they heard this. "I thought running outside was so cool and exciting, but it turned out to be so hard. The shed was blown down in the middle of the night and it started to rain heavily. You have to be capable people. If it were me, I wouldn't know what to do."
Zhou Guo glanced at Zhou Su and said with a smile, "What else can we do? We can only brave the rain and put up the shed again. We did it slowly, and our clothes were soaked. We had to light a fire to dry them. It was already daybreak when we were so sleepy that we couldn't even open our eyes. We had to lie on the wet ground and take a nap. We would wait for the rain to stop before continuing on our way."
Everyone felt distressed again. "How can you sleep on the wet ground? Won't the clothes you just dried get wet again?"
Zhou Guo laughed dryly, "What can I do? I'm so sleepy that I can't sleep sitting down, right?"
