Chapter 153 Picking Up Pigs
Kong Qi's "workshop" can only clear out another empty house.

She brought back tools that would fill two rooms, including a small electric grinder, which she particularly liked.

She can grow seasonings like chili powder and pepper noodles in the future, and after drying, grind them into powder with a small electric mill.

Seasoning is easy to make, but the hard part is making cooking oil.

She said that she wanted to make soybean oil, and Lu Xiangbei said that the oil-pressing machine was easy to get. The machine was available in the village, and there was a small oil mill in the countryside.

But the problem of electricity is not easy to solve, their generators cannot drive the oil press.

Kong Qi dug out a book and showed it to Lu Xiangbei, in which there was a flow chart of oil extraction by the ancients, as well as the names and appearances of the tools used.

It's a pity that I don't know what the inside of the tool looks like, and it is much more difficult to expect her to imitate the tool than to catch a pig to boil lard.

Lu Xiangbei promised to study it when he was free and make a set for her, but it would take some time.

Her words reminded Lu Xiangbei that they could catch the first pig and come back first.

Although all the animals in the farm were kept in pens, some free-range poultry and livestock escaped.

The two chickens that Lu Xiangbei caught before are evidence, and he hopes that animals such as pigs, cows, and sheep will also survive.

He can survive in any environment. If it were him, he would never bother to find poultry and livestock.

He gradually understands the truth that his existence alone is called "alive", and that with Kong Qi is called "living".

Before the Spring Festival, Lu went north to go out of the tunnel and go hunting in the outside area.

Kong Qi wanted to harvest and grow vegetables, so she couldn't leave her body to accompany him, so she asked the second donkey to follow him.

Lu Xiangbei rode a tricycle, hunting was easy, but finding a specific target depended on luck.

Lu Xiangbei went out to look for it every day for half a month, and finally he 'picked up' a big black pig.

He said he had 'picked it up', but in fact he would also like to thank the second donkey.

The big black pig was attacked by a bear at that time, was seriously injured, and fell in the snow, unable to escape.

The second donkey ran faster than Lu Xiangbei, it jumped down from the cart, and shot at the big bear like a black lightning bolt.

Seeing that the meat in his mouth was going to fly, the big bear was not reconciled, and the second donkey barked three times but it didn't work, so the big bear in a rage fought a few tricks with the two donkeys.

Listening to Lu Xiangbei's story, Kong Qi couldn't help worrying about the second donkey. She looked at the second donkey's mouth. The bear didn't bite, and it lost a few more teeth.

"It's fine, the bear was bitten by it and ran away." Lu Xiangbei seemed to guess what she was thinking, and explained with a smile.

"It's really good. From now on, the king of beasts will not be a lion and a tiger, but two donkeys!"

"You pack it up, I have to go out."

"Why are you going?"

"You will know when you come back."

Lu Xiangbei rode away the other tricycle, and the second donkey followed immediately, jumped into the car and sat down.

Kong Qi looked at the dead body of the big black pig that had flattened the tires, and went back to the house to fetch a sharp knife.

When Lu Xiangbei saw the black pig, it was already seriously injured, and when the fight between the two donkeys and the big bear was over, the black pig also died.

Its biggest wound was on its neck. The bear's claws cut open its skin and flesh, and all its blood flowed out.

The yard is full of vegetable fields, and there is no room for pigs, so she can only boil water outside the yard, spread plastic sheets on the ground, put the black pigs on it and start "dismembering".

She hadn't done it before, but partial shaving was no stranger to her.

There were several sets of knives in the kitchen utensils she brought back from the county last time.

Boning knives, bone razors, knife sharpeners, everything is complete.

She first took out all the contents of the pig's stomach and put them in several large pots.

Then remove the legs, cut the head, and finally scald the skinned part with hot water and shave off the hair.

The black pig didn't eat any feed, and it might run for its life from time to time, so the meat on its body was relatively thin.

The whole pig weighed about [-] catties, and Kong Qi didn't find it too strenuous to clean it up.

She is now very strong, and she doesn't find it difficult to turn a dead pig weighing two hundred catties over and over again.

She connected a water pipe from the yard to wash away the pig's blood and filth. There was a drainage ditch beside the road, and the ditch was filled with the snow they pushed in when clearing the snow.

Dirty water and bloody water were all washed into the ditch. She worked for a long time to put the packed meat into the natural freezer.

The viscera and offal needed to be cleaned. Anyway, she wanted to wait for Lu Xiangbei to come back and sit outside the gate to wash.

After everything was done, Lu Xiangbei hadn't come back yet, so she cut some pork liver and lungs and went back to the kitchen to soak them.

In the evening they ate salt water liver and chili fried pork lung.

Before the disaster, Kong Qi liked to eat salted pork liver very much. She often cooked it by herself in the rental house.

The ingredients are also simple, boiled and sliced ​​with garlic or chili oil.

She also planted a few broccoli, and one of them happened to be ready to be picked and eaten with fungus salad.

She kept changing the vegetables, also to record the maturity time of these vegetables.

She records the time from sowing to maturity of each vegetable, which makes it easier for her to control the number of plants.

If it is a vegetable that takes a long time to harvest, she will plant ten, and she will plant five for the short-term ones. In this way, when the long-term ones mature, and the short-term ones have been planted twice, the final harvest is basically the same.

She thinks she might be a bit OCD when it comes to growing vegetables, which doesn't make sense, but she does it.

At the same time, she found that the harvest cycle of this kind of vegetable was shorter than that in Lu Xiangbei's small courtyard.

It's more than a little shorter, it's three times shorter.

That's why she is so busy every day, every day there are vegetables that are ripe, she collects this, and tomorrow that will be ripe again.

And in this kind of vegetables, there is no uneven nutrition, fruiting first, and ripening first.

For example, on a wheat ear, all the grains on it grow, grow, and mature at the same time.

The same is true for fruits and vegetables. A tomato tree bears eight fruits at the same time. These eight fruits will also turn red and ripen at the same time, and need to be picked together.

In Lu's small courtyard, the time for growing vegetables is only shortened, and there is no disease or harm.

When she got here, Kong Qi felt that she was not growing vegetables in the real world, but she felt like growing vegetables in the virtual world.

For example, the sentimental online game Penguin Farm, which was just released before the disaster.

There must be some mysterious force affecting the crops, and she wasn't sure what.

The doubts in her heart were not hidden from Lu Xiangbei, and Lu Xiangbei told her to wait and see.

Wait for the spring of this year to see how other plants in the village grow.

First rule out the possibility that this place has something special, and then consider other factors.

Lu Xiangbei came back after dark, and besides the two donkeys, there was also a litter of piglets on the tricycle.

The piglets were quite big, and they were carried in a net by Lu Xiangbei, guarded by two donkeys, none of them dared to run, and they all obediently lay in the net.

"How do you know there are piglets?" Kong Qi almost admired Silu Xiangbei, feeling that he could get everything back.

"Because the big pig was running in the wrong direction, and it had a chance to run away, but turned around to attract the bear's attention."

Lu Xiangbei saw the big bear's hunting process, at least half of it, and when he rode his bike closer, the black pig was finished.
