The first fat pig was pinned to the door by 5 or 6 strong members.
The butcher wore a cowhide skirt tied around his waist and held a rapidly sharpened butcher's knife in his hand.
He was using his left hand to calculate the heart position of the fat pig.
Everyone can clearly see that this butcher’s skills are...tsk, tsk, tsk, a bit unfamiliar!
A truly experienced butcher can accurately estimate the position of the pig's heart just by looking at the pig.
And the butcher in front of me actually needs to use his hands to measure...
The expression on the butcher's face was calm.
But in his heart he was thinking: Do I have any idea?
In the past few years, how many pigs have let me practice my skills?
Because every fat pig has a different body shape, the position between their heart and their neck is a little off.
If you don't find a good position and kill the fat pig with one knife, the fat pig will still struggle to get up and run around the farm dam 10 times and 8 times...
This butcher's reputation is so bad!
That will be laughed at for years.
People in the production team, no matter men, women, old or young, all like to watch the New Year pigs being killed.
Luo Xuan is no exception.
The commune members who were standing in the courtyard watching the excitement, waiting to kill the pigs so that they could share the meat and go home, saw Luo Xuan coming, and they all said hello with a smile.
There are also some naughty boys who are chasing the other two pigs there, trying to ride them as horses.
The two fat pigs were so frightened that they kept running around in the yard.
If you are not careful, you will knock a certain club member to the ground!
It made everyone burst into laughter...
"Ouch——"
The fat pig who was pressed against the door panel let out a shrill scream!
The long-handled knife with a cold light in the butcher's hand suddenly penetrated deeply into the fat pig's neck.
Then the butcher turned his wrist and stirred the butcher's knife gently inside.
Immediately, Butcher quickly pulled out the knife.
There was a "crash" sound.
Large amounts of pig blood spurted out!
The panicked assistant who was assisting the butcher in killing the pig quickly placed a huge wooden barrel on the fat pig's wound.
Collect all the pig blood into the bucket.
I saw the butcher calmly grabbing a large handful of salt from the nearby clay pot and throwing it into the wooden barrel containing the pig's blood.
Then stir continuously with a wooden stick.
It won't take a while for the pig blood to solidify.
These pig blood are good things. In the big canteen of the production team, everyone will have pig blood stewed vermicelli to eat tomorrow!
Kill the pig,
The butcher squatted down and gently pulled out a small opening on the fat pig's hind leg with a knife.
Then let the big guys press the fat pig's body with both hands and keep rubbing it.
They do these actions to create a gap between the pig skin and the pork, so that the cook can more easily blow air into the fat pig's body.
Everyone kneaded for a while, and the water in the large pot next to it was already boiling.
The butcher took out a small bamboo tube and stuffed it into the small hole on the fat pig's hind leg. Then he puffed up his cheeks and blew air into the fat pig's body.
As the pressure on Butcher's neck became thicker and thicker, his face became redder and redder.
The fat pig lying on the door panel was now as swollen as a rubber ball.
It feels like the fat pig's body has expanded to twice its previous size!
The next step is to continuously pour boiling water on the pig fat and use an iron plane to remove the pig hair.
There is strength in numbers.
After a while, a white and fat pig appeared in front of everyone.
Next, the butcher used two iron hooks to penetrate the fat pig's hind legs, and everyone worked together to hang the fat pig on the wooden frame.
This is preparing to "open the door" for fat pigs!
After cutting open the belly of the fat pig and taking out the internal organs, a large group of members, who had been arranged by team leader Peng Zhikun, came forward to help deal with the intestines and entrails.
These pigs are in the water, which is in the production team canteen. They will be used as raw materials for everyone to make a "pig-killing feast" tonight.
pig's tail,
It is the reward given to the butcher in charge of killing the pig.
A total of 3 pig tails were collected, and the butcher had to take them home to make "Jiejie Incense".
only,
Everyone saw that when the butcher was cutting off the pig's tail, the butcher's knife often swung the pig's buttocks...
When the members present saw this, they couldn't help but twitch in their hearts!
Just by the butcher's move, he took away half a catty of the collective pork!
Everyone is thinking: 3 pig tails, together with the piece of meat at the end.
This butcher will definitely have a good year this year!
Damn it!
Although there is no wages for killing pigs, the three pieces of meat taken away by the butcher are still too much...
What is flesh pain?
This is called real physical pain!
Wait until the butcher finishes cutting up the pork.
Then, the production team leader Peng Zhikun came forward with a weighing scale, ready to share the meat with everyone.
The women in the production team hurriedly chopped down a lot of banana leaves and spread them in the yard.
When Peng Zhikun distributed the pork to the members one by one according to the number of people in each household, he used a steel scale to divide the pork among the members.
This job is not easy!
This mother-in-law wants to be fat, and that little daughter-in-law dislikes the fact that there are too many bones in her piece of meat...
I think the backbone meat is too thin.
The one who said that there is too much lymph in the trough head meat makes people sick...
Anyway, no matter how Peng Zhikun divides it, it will always arouse strong dissatisfaction from everyone.
for a time,
The originally joyful atmosphere that filled the door of the breeding room completely disappeared.
The members of the club were very happy to watch the pig slaughter just now.
At this time, all smiles disappeared from their faces, and they just stared at the center of the scale in Peng Zhikun's hand with their eyes wide open.
Any higher or lower level will lead to complaints from the members.
I was very happy when I was watching the pig being killed, but when it came time to divide the pork, I was very upset.
The entire courtyard was suddenly noisy and arguing: this woman was complaining, another woman was complaining, and the little daughter-in-law was complaining...
Everyone feels that they have suffered a loss, and everyone feels that the piece of pork given to others is fatter and better.
Every year when the production team divides the pork, it looks like this!
Without exception.
I just came here to watch the fun, so I didn’t get a share of the pork.
Luo Xuan doesn't want to get involved in these things, it's very frustrating!
So, when everyone got to the point of dividing the pork, they turned around and went home.
That night.
The commune members ran to the big cafeteria and grabbed a few pieces of pork offal, along with a bowl of watery rice porridge made from corn and sweet potato flour.
Then everyone cursed and wiped their mouths, and began to go home quickly to light a fire to cook and open a small stove to eat.
New Year is approaching.
The production team also began to allow members to go home and cook their own meals.
Everyone has been struggling for a month, eating porridge every now and then. Today, the family finally killed the chickens and ducks.
The slaughtered chickens and ducks can produce a lot of water, which can be used to improve the food and satisfy everyone's cravings.
The cold wind blows and night falls slowly.
At this time, in the homes of all production team members, the long-lost sound of spatulas and iron pots clashing while cooking could be heard.
Stir-fried chicken and duck should originally be stir-fried over high heat. Only in this way can the duck intestines and chicken crop be crispy, tender and delicious.
But no family dares to do that...it's too extravagant and lavish. How will you live in the future?
Wasn't it just a few days before the big canteen was established, everyone was working hard to burn the oil and finish it.
Some people have managed to save a large jar of lard at home.
I tried my best to eat it all within those 3 days, even if the whole family ate too much greasy food and shot javelin every day!
Everyone also has to stuff that can of lard into their stomachs.
Otherwise...it feels too, too bad!
Now that we are allowed to go home to cook, we don’t dare to add too much oil when cooking.
In the production team, we finally got some fuel coupons.
Everyone is planning to keep it until the Chinese New Year and use it for cooking!
After all, after working so hard for a year, don’t we all look forward to the Chinese New Year, when we can really enjoy some meat and potatoes?
That night, Luo Xuan asked his third sister-in-law and seventh aunt to come over for help.
Then they brought Uncle Ding, Peng Zhikun, Uncle Zhang, Dai Hongmei and Qiu Xiaogang together.
Please come to the courtyard and plan to celebrate the New Year with everyone in advance.
Third sister-in-law, seventh aunt,
These ladies are all very efficient at work.
In addition, Aunt Zhang, Zhou Laosan, and even Xiaocao came over to help.
Not long after.
A large table of dishes is ready.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, these are the real 9 bowls!"
Uncle Ding looked at the table full of hard dishes and exclaimed: "I have lived for so many decades, and the number of times I have eaten nine large bowls at banquets is no more than three times!
I remember, when I was a child, the son of Landlord Liao was admitted to some foreign school!
His family held a college entrance banquet and invited the whole village to eat nine large bowls."
"Another time, it was in the courtyard of Hongxing Commune, which was still called the township office at that time."
"It seems like I won a regional grand prize?
A celebration banquet was held in the township office. At that time, the captain took my township office to help."
Uncle Ding was full of emotions, "Luo Xuan, you must be capable! Look at our production team, in so many years, who has made 9 large bowls at one time? It's amazing, enough noodles!"
Luo Xuan smiled and said: "Uncle Ding, you are talking about these dishes being cold. Come on, everyone has worked hard during this period. I would like to toast all uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters."
Dai Hongmei took a sip of "Fenggu Wine" and a blush suddenly appeared on her face, "It can't be said that it was hard work.
Luo Xuan, if you have anything to do in the future, just say it! Just leave it to us and take care of it."
Peng Zhikun also smiled and said: "As long as it's not against the principles. Luo Xuan, just ask, I guarantee there will be no problem!"
Salty roasted white meat, stuffed with sandy pork and bean paste.
Steamed whole chicken, steamed whole duck, and steamed pork ribs.
Those things were actually from Fatty Gu from the catering service company. When he packed them for himself, he mixed some private goods.
It was just packed in a food box, and Fatty Gu gave it to him half-openly and half-covered.
The fully charged horse lantern made a chirping sound, illuminating the small courtyard brightly.
While everyone was having a great time eating, they suddenly heard the door of the small courtyard ringing.
It turned out that it was Mrs. Wang who walked in with her two biological sons, Luo Xiaoxin and Luo Xiaozhong.
"Hey, are you guys eating? Oh my, the food is so good. Look at these two blessed children in my family. How lucky they are."
Mrs. Wang reached to the dining table with familiarity, reached out and pulled out Luo Xiaoxin who was hiding behind her, "Come, tell your brother, what are you doing here?"
Luo Xiaoxin cautiously took a look at Luo Xuan's face, and then said with a stern voice: "Brother...brother? My mother asked me to come and ask you to come home the day after tomorrow for a reunion."
Hear what Luo Xiaoxin said.
Luo Xuan's face remained unchanged and his expression was calm.
Zhi Guan held up Kuaizi, picked up the steamed pork ribs and stuffed them into his mouth, turning a deaf ear to his words.
Uncle Ding, Seventh Aunt, and Third Sister-in-law’s expressions changed!
Damn it.
Seeing that Luo Xuan's life was getting better, Mrs. Wang started plotting against Luo Xuan again!
Everyone knows that Luo Xuan is very generous with his actions.
This Wang family, how many taels of meat can she produce at home?
Now, Mrs. Wang came over inexplicably, saying that she wanted Luo Xuan to go home for a New Year reunion.
In fact, everyone present knew what she was thinking: Mrs. Wang was coveting Luo Xuan's gifts!
