"This pork is good, the meat is very fine! It seems that you guys, Fifth Brother, have fed you a lot of food." Li Delong patted the fat pig hanging on the shelf and said with a smile.

"Hi! I usually don't care about it. It's Awen, my mother and a few other children who feed it." Li Deyou explained with a smile.

The women on the side were already waiting with basins. Li Delong skillfully took out the pig's waste and put it into each basin.

After all the sewage was drained out, Li Delong's wife took the sewage to the side of the yard and began to turn the intestines. Other women also began to clean the pig sewage.

"Wow! It's so thick, four fingers wide." Li Deyou separated the pork and gestured with his palm.

Next, Li Delong picked up a machete to chop and divide the pork. The pig's head was facing downwards. Except for the pig's head, the whole pig was divided into two parts from top to bottom by the machete.

After Li Delong chopped off the head of a pig weighing several dozen kilograms, everyone unloaded two fans of pork.

The two pork fans were unloaded on the two door panels, and the visual effect was absolutely shocking.

"Weigh it and see how many pounds of meat it is." Li Delong used a butcher's knife to quickly cut the two fans of pork into small pieces and shouted.

The next few people started weighing the meat on a large scale. After ten minutes, all the pork was weighed, a total of 158 pounds of clean meat with bones.

"This pig is so big! Counting the pig's head and guts, this pig weighs more than 200 kilograms." Li Deyou said with a satisfied smile.

After killing the pig, Li Delong began to use rosin to treat the hair on the pig's head. Li Deyou and others pulled the cart to return the big iron pot.

After packing up, the men began to sit down and rest, and the women took care of the remaining details.

Li Delong's wife took the fourth master's two daughters-in-law to process the intestines, while Wang Chunmei and her two sisters-in-law started making pig-killing vegetables.

Various parts of the pig are mixed with vermicelli and vegetables, and stewed in a large pot.

After Li Wen helped clean up the drain, he began to cook the braised pork in another pot. Several dozen kilograms of drain and pig heads were filled into a large pot.

Once everything is done, it’s all time.

"Come Delong, the old rule is that you cut a piece of meat yourself as a thank you gift for killing the pig." Li Deyou greeted Li Delong who was sitting beside him drinking tea.

"Lao Wu, I don't want pork. Just give me a bowl of braised pork when Xiaowen is ready." Li Delong chuckled.

"Yes, the braised pork made by your Awen is very delicious. It would be great to take it back and make it yourself and eat it ready-made." Li Delong's wife Qi Chunya said with a smile.

"You can cut it if you are told. There is a lot of braised meat, and you will have to eat it."

"Recently, didn't your A'Kui say that we were going to kiss each other and cut three kilograms of meat for A'Kui to take with her. Let the girl's family see the noodles of our old Li's family." Li Deyou said with a smile.

"If you say that, I won't be polite to you, brother." Li Delong smiled and cut a knife of flesh from his chest. Three kilograms was almost enough.

Recently, when he proposed marriage to his eldest son, Li Delong Zhengchou had three kilograms of pork, which was definitely a sure deal.

"This solves the problem. Next month, fifth brother, you guys will wait for a feast!" Li Delong laughed while holding the pork.

"By the way! Deyou, your Xiao Wu is a few months older than Xiao Kui. When are you going to do things for your child?" Fourth Master Li Juncai asked with a smile.

"Haha! Li Deyou touched his head, maybe in the second half of the year. Xiao Wu has passed the job assessment and will become a regular worker next month. Then I will ask her aunt to find a wife in the city."

Sitting aside, Li Wen felt that his father was speaking very Versailles, and he couldn't stand it anymore.

"Good boy, Xiao Wu has secured his iron rice bowl!" Everyone in the yard said in shock.

"Deyou, your idea is very good. After Xiaowu becomes a full-time employee, he will have a collective household registration in the work unit. Then he will receive wages, eat commercial food, and marry a city wife. There is no problem at all." Li Juncai took a puff of dry cigarettes and praised.

"Fifth brother, I will have to bleed you when the time comes. How many tables will be set up?" Li Desheng said with a smile.

"Isn't there a pig-killing banquet for you today? Why isn't this standard high enough?" Li Deyou said with a chuckle.

"It's not high, it's not high! You can prepare a table full of Manchu and Chinese dishes for your brother, and he can eat it too." Li Desheng laughed.

"Hmm! The smell of meat has come out." Everyone couldn't help but swallowed when they smelled the smell of butchered vegetables wafting from the kitchen.

After another half hour, the braised pork was completely done. Li Wen took out some of the various parts from the water, cut a few plates, and continued to soak the rest in the pot.

"Here, it's time to eat. Let's have lunch early today." Two large pots of butchered vegetables were brought out by mother and second aunt.

Today at noon, there were two tables for men and women. The main dishes were braised vermicelli with butchered vegetables and steamed buns with noodles. The side dishes were various kinds of braised pork and cold dishes.

Today's meal was a rare one. Everyone ate two large bowls, and they didn't even eat a few steamed buns.

"Today's meal is the most satisfying meal I have had in the past three or four years." Li Dejun finished his last glass of wine, patted his bulging belly, and said with satisfaction.

"This stewed pig meat is paired with braised pork and a bite of cucumber. It is very fragrant." Li Deyou was chewing a cucumber in his hand.

"I was full of wine and meat. I looked at the sun above my head and saw that it was almost 12 o'clock." Li Juncai and Li Delong's family began to retreat.

Wang Chunmei prepared a small pot of pig blood and a bowl of braised pork for each of the two families. After some back-and-forth refusal, the two families finally happily accepted the offer.

"Dad, keep the front meat for us; sell the belly fat and the weakest neck meat to the villagers!" Li Wen pointed at the pork on the door panel and said.

"Okay, our family is not short of oil and water for the time being. The front meat tastes better, so just keep it for yourself!"

"Awen is right. People in the village are in love with fat meat and fat. Those whose families are better off buy some fat meat to eat, and those whose families are in a bad situation buy meat. Meat is better than anything else." Li Juncai stood beside him.

He smiled and nodded.

"Mom, take this meat back and collect it! Otherwise, the villagers will cut it here and there, and the meat will be scattered and difficult to clean up." Li Wen put the meat from the front clip into a bag and handed it to Wang Chunmei.

Boom, boom, boom! You can hear the bell ringing at the door of the village committee at home, indicating that work is over in the village.

In less than five minutes, someone came to Li Wen's house, ready to buy a head of meat.

"Where is the party secretary?" The visitor smiled and greeted Li Juncai. He turned around and came to the door. When he saw that the fat was still there, he suddenly smiled.

"Lao Wu, bring me three kilograms of pork belly. This is it. Yes, yes, it's right here. This piece of meat is really fat!"

The man in his thirties looked at the almost completely white pork belly, his eyes glowing with gold.

"Lao Wu, let me weigh you and see how much it costs?"

"It's still the price in the village, eight cents per catty. Yours is three catties and two taels more, so just call it three catties and two taels." Li Deyou said with a smile.

"Yeah! I know you, Lao Wu, are very particular about people and don't ask for random prices. Xiaowen, let's do the math. How much is the total?" the middle-aged man said with a smile.

"Uncle, the total is two yuan and fifty-six cents." Li Wen said with a smile.

After paying the money, the middle-aged man ran out quickly carrying the meat as if he had taken advantage of it.

"Lao Wu, we're not late!" Li Junli, Li Dequan, and Li Desheng, several village cadres, walked in quickly.

"It's too late, you guys are not active in eating meat! It's sold out." Li Deyou said with a smile.

"You kid, hurry up and drive away. Awen, please cut the meat for uncle." Several people pulled away and Li Deyou came to the pork in excitement.

"Give us three kilograms each, half of the hip meat and half of the pork belly."

"Would you guys like some more pig blood? I kept it in the kitchen and didn't dare to take it out." Li Deyou said with a smile.

"Yes, pig's blood is a good thing, and most people can't eat it. Why don't you show your righteousness, Lao Wu!" Li Jun said with a bright smile.

"Here, one bowl for each person." Wang Chunmei and her second aunt came out carrying three bowls of pig blood.

"Lao Wu, how much is the total including pig blood?" Li Dequan asked.

"Just give me money for the pork, forget about the pig blood, they are all my brothers." Li Deyou smiled and waved his hand.

At this time, three more people walked in. Seeing Li Junli and others holding a bowl of pig blood in their hands, they all asked to buy it.

Li Deyou quickly drove away Li Junli and the others. Otherwise, the remaining pig blood would not be enough, and they had no intention of selling it.

After a few minutes, Li Wen's house was crowded with folks from the village. Everyone was hungry for meat! But there were no meat tickets when they went to town to buy it.

Next, if the family's situation is good, I will get one or two kilograms, and if my family's situation is not good, I will get a few taels of back meat to comfort my mouth.

Several little ones at home had already finished school at this time, and were blocked out by the crowd one by one.

"Brother, I want to come in." The little girl Li Juan shouted loudly outside.

"Xiao Min, take your sister with you and come in from the backyard." Li Wen shouted towards the door.

Outside the door, adults after work and children after school craned their necks to look at Li Wen's house, expecting his family to buy pork.

Whenever a man carries meat and squeezes out of Li Wen's house, there will be cheers outside. This is the sound of joy from the children in the family.

Fatty meat is more popular, and those at the front have already snapped up all the meat. Those at the back can only buy some lean meat and neck meat.

Nearly 70 to 80 kilograms of pork were sold out in more than half an hour. There were still more than 20 people who had not bought any pork.

The children outside the door burst into tears when they saw that there was no more pork. Some even started rolling at the door, complaining that their father did not arrive in time.

"Awen, chop twenty kilograms of pork left at home." Seeing this, Li Deyou ordered Li Wen standing aside.

Li Wen nodded and came to the kitchen, chopped off more than twenty kilograms according to the fattest part, and then carried it out in a basin.

Li Deyou began to limit the supply of more than 20 kilograms of pork, so he sent away the remaining 20 people.

"I haven't eaten meat for several months after the New Year. Everyone is very positive when seeing meat!" Li Deyou said as he packed up the remaining stick bones.

"It's going to be busy farming soon. Let's buy some meat to satisfy our cravings. It's also a good idea to give the children something to eat." Li Juncai said with a smile.

"Uncle, I think the wheat is growing well this year, and it should reach 400 kilograms. This year will definitely be a bumper harvest, and the bad year is over!" Li Dezhong said with a smile.

"What a great harvest! As a branch secretary, I hope that our Li family will be prosperous, so that we can live up to the old village chief's decision to entrust me with the position." Li Juncai said with a smile.

"I see what you said, uncle. If you hadn't been there to carry the disaster in the past few years, our village would have been so safe?" Li Deyou said from the side.

"There is a long way to go! When everyone in the village has enough to eat, my uncle's mission will be completed." Li Juncai smoked a dry cigarette and looked at the distant northeast.

"Brother, is this pork butcher dish made of Xiao Hei's meat?" The little girl Li Juan hugged the rice bowl as big as her head, picked up a piece of meat and put it into her mouth. She asked with a smile.

"Yes! It's made of small black meat. Didn't you see it when you came in from the backyard just now? Xiao Hei has disappeared." Li Wen sat aside and drank tea and said.

The rice cooked for lunch today was a bit salty, and Li Wen just wanted to drink water while sitting there.
