After Xu Yi selected the lard, he started to render it.
Lard is exceptionally fragrant when used for cooking, much more so than vegetable oil or other animal fats.
However, this fragrant pig didn't have much fat; even after a thorough search, Xu Yi only gathered about ten pounds of lard. The remaining parts would be mixed with lean meat to make sausages.
Xu Yi estimated that after rendering the fat, they should get seven or eight pounds of oil, enough to last them a month or two.
Once the fat was rendered, Xu Yi started chopping the meat into chunks with Lu Ke. They sprinkled some salt on it, mixed it together, and then used it to make sausages.
The remaining fresh meat was placed underwater by Xu Yi, which would be enough for the next day's consumption.
The meat needed some time to sit, so Xu Yi grabbed some pasture and entered the deer pen.
The two reindeer saw Xu Yi enter and immediately charged with their antlers.
