Chapter 64
Since the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, some families in the village have started killing pigs.
Lao Li's family was also planning to see which day would be the right day to invite the butcher to kill the pig and eat shaved pig soup by the way.
This time, Old Man Li and Mother Li were very happy and planned how to divide the pig.
For example, if there are elders from the branch of the Li family, Li's mother's family, etc., they will definitely send some meat there.
The eldest and second child’s in-laws are also indispensable, and the third child is not only the in-laws, but also the masters of his school.
Those who celebrate the New Year and festivals should give gifts to their wives, and the wives who used to have a private school in the town should also give some New Year gifts.
It cannot be said that he forgot his former mentor when he went to study in the county town. After becoming a scholar, his reputation became more important.
"Fortunately, Sanlang did well in the exam, otherwise our family wouldn't be able to kill pigs."
In previous years, if you didn't sell your pigs directly to the butcher, you would only be willing to buy two kilograms of meat to try it during the New Year.
Thinking that she could come back to kill pigs every year from now on, and eat many pork meals with her children, Shi's face lit up with joy.
On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, Li Dalang went to invite the butcher.
Butchers only kill pigs and bleed them, and there are many other jobs. Although Risaburo is weak and a gentle man, he cannot do it.
Fortunately, isn't this Yuri Dalō Reijiro?
After the bundle of fat pigs was washed and tied, the butcher cut it and saw blood.
Mrs. Shi took a basin to collect the pig's blood and took one basin. Sister Li quickly changed another basin and handed it over.
This pig's blood is also delicious when it is coagulated and used to cook.
After the pig's blood is drained, it's not the end. You still need to scald the pig's skin and scrape the pig's hair.
Among these, Li Erlang and his sons helped. The butchers mainly cut up the pork, and Lao Li's family also prepared a table of pig-killing rice.
This whole morning of busy work passed by.
Fang Qingqing was quite curious. When the original owner was young at home, she was not allowed to watch pigs being killed.
And Fang has a large family, so it’s not her turn to make pig-killing meals or anything like that. To be honest, this is the first time she has participated in such a thing.
Well, I just participated with a pair of eyes and watched the whole process.
Naturally, there was no need for the third daughter-in-law to take action. Mrs. Shi was still afraid of her children and was frightened.
Speaking of which, this is the first time in the past few years that Mr. Shi has prepared this pig-killing rice dish.
In the past, we just asked the butcher to take away the big fat pigs from our homes. How could there be so much trouble?
Even so, Li's mother was also happy. As this man gets older, he only hopes that the family will be more lively.
Stir-fry twice-cooked pork in a big pot, stew a pig's trotters in bone soup, stir-fry pork liver in a flaming blood stir-fry, and stir-fry a piece of meat with pickles at home.
These meat dishes, plus two vegetarian dishes, add up to about eight bowls of dishes.
When Sanlang got married before, the Shi family also organized the wedding banquet, which was not as sumptuous as this one.
Of course, not only was she thinking about it in her mind, she also discussed it with her old man and asked him if this would work.
Of course, Old Man Li had no objection. He just asked her to pick out some good pig offal, put it aside, and let the butcher take it away after eating and drinking the pig soup.
This is also a common practice. Generally, the pigs are given to the butcher for him to take away.
"We keep the lard for ourselves. After refining the lard, you can still eat the oil residue. Cut two pieces of the oily and watery ones and let Saburo send them to his wife in the school and the ones in the town before."
At least they took the trouble to teach Sanlang not to be the one who burns bridges by crossing rivers.
If Sanlang now goes to study in the county and forgets his former wife, then he will be scolded in the spine.
Even if Mr. Shi felt in his heart that Saburo's success in the exam was his own fault, otherwise there were so many students in the school in the town. Why was he the only one to become a scholar this time?
But Mr. Shi also understands that scholars pay the most attention to respecting their teachers, and what the old man said is right.
The old couple discussed nonchalantly, and then they followed Old Man Li and said, "And your parents' family will also send you a piece of good meat."
At this moment, Shi was truly stunned.
His eyes were a little hot, but he said: "My parents are too old to eat meat, so forget it..."
Old Man Li shook his head, "In the past, even if my family had some extra money, they would still dig into it, all because of Sanlang's studies. At least he is more prosperous now, and it is his maternal family, so he should be more filial."
In fact, after a pig is processed, there is not much good meat. If you divide it here and there, there will not be much left.
Even so, the corners of Shi's mouth were upturned all day long, and she felt like she had a headache.
She prepared the dishes, but it was Mrs. Li who actually cooked them.
The same things are made in the same way, and Sister-in-law Li has this ability. She makes the dishes that are much more delicious than those cooked by others.
The fat and lean pork belly was cut into thin slices, the large iron pot was heated, and the cut pork was first placed in it to refine the oil.
When the meat is slightly yellow and not burnt, add the onion, ginger, garlic and chili and stir-fry it with oil in the pot.
Then add pickles and dumplings, and the fried meat will be so fragrant.
After eating the shaved pig soup, Risaburo first went to give New Year's gifts to his former school teacher.
As for his master who is currently in the academy, because he lives in the county town and the road is quite far away, Risaburo plans to get up early tomorrow morning and go to the city to see him off.
After giving away the New Year's gift and having a good chat with his husband, it was a little late when Li Sanlang returned to Hongqiao Village.
But just at this time, Luo Xiaohua, who had a quarrel with her family and ran out, happened to see the scholar who seemed to be coming back from outside?
She didn't want to be ruined like this for the rest of her life, so she repeatedly told her mother that she didn't want to get married.
Of course, Luo Xiaohua's mother quit the job and accepted all the betrothal gifts from the man, but because the Chinese New Year was about to come and she didn't want to beat or scold her children, she just ignored it.
As a result, Luo Xiaohua became even more angry, feeling that these parents despised her human rights and did not respect her at all.
Regardless of the fact that it was almost the end of the year and it was freezing cold outside, I ran straight out of the house.
Luo Xiaohua felt that her luck was pretty good. She was so happy that she straightened her appearance a little and walked directly towards the scholar.
"Brother Sanlang." Luo Xiaohua called, that charming and charming person.
Risaburo was walking with his head down, thinking that he could get home before dark, when he suddenly heard this sound.
Recently, I often hear my daughter-in-law calling him the same way, but her voice is serious and serious. Every time I hear Li Sanlang, I always feel a wave of warmth in my heart.
Unlike this little lady who appeared out of nowhere and called him the same way, why did Lisaburo get goosebumps when he heard her?
Risaburo did not pause, and even accelerated his pace involuntarily.
Seeing Xiucailang walking faster and faster, Luo Xiaohua became anxious and ran after him regardless of restraint.
