Chapter 194: The First to Return Home
“Then let’s have stewed yam for breakfast,” Lin Heng said as he grabbed a pine grouse and stewed it together with the yam.
There was no other choice—the rest of the yams had been ruined, and only this small portion remained. Besides, they weren’t that hungry at the moment, so they decided to cook it now and eat it at noon.
Once the pine grouse was simmering, Lin Heng came over to help process the large wild boar, which had just been bled again by his uncle-in-law.
He helped Old Man Gao set up a rack, and the three of them hoisted the massive wild boar onto it to burn off the bristles. But the coarse hair on the old boar was incredibly tough. Before they could finish singeing the hair, the rack itself caught fire.
“Damn, this pig’s hair is ridiculously tough,” Lin Heng muttered, exasperated. After more than ten minutes of burning, there were still stiff bristles rooted in the skin.
Li Baiquan looked at the collapsed rack and said, “How about this—we gut it first, cut the meat into smaller pieces, and then burn off the hair. Or just take it back and deal with it later.”
“Yeah, let’s do that. I’m too lazy to mess with it now anyway,” Lin Heng agreed. After spending so much time on the mountain, everyone was physically and mentally drained.
Old Man Gao nodded. “Sounds good to me.”
