Han Che also had a curious look on his face, "That's right, what kind of butchered vegetables?"
Xiang Jin said, "Pig-killing dishes are a custom in the countryside here. After killing a pig, a family will use certain parts of the pig to make some dishes, and then treat themselves to the whole family.
Have a meal with someone or someone who is close to your family.
For example, pig lungs, pork ribs, and ribs are mixed into a stew, and pork liver and pork are stir-fried into two other dishes. Usually here, they prefer to stir-fry pork liver with shredded carrots, and stir-fry lotus white and other dried vegetables.
Some came out, and some steamed a dish with pork.
These are common ways of making pig-killed vegetables, but Aunt Liao’s family has fresh vegetables, so their pig-killed vegetables will be different.”
"Oh, so that's what it's like?" The two understood, and then Han Che said.
Xiang Jin said, "Ah, isn't that what it is?!"
Han Che followed up and said, "I'll have something to look forward to then!"
Xiang Jin said, "Expect it, expect it, this is the freshest meat, and it is purely grain-fed pigs. The meat will taste very fragrant. It is usually difficult for you to eat it in the city."
The pork in the city is basically from feed pigs, and the meat has a strong fishy smell. If some feed is heavy, the meat will show a green fluorescence.
I don’t know if you have seen it before, but Yan Chen and I have seen it again. It is said that it is because the phosphorus content in pork exceeds the standard, so you must be careful when buying meat at the vegetable market in the future.
"
Han Che turned his head and looked at Yan Chen, "Really?"
"Um!"
Han Che said, "Isn't this too scary?"
Xiang Jin said, "There's nothing we can do. Pigs fed purely on grains grow too slowly. A pig raised from the beginning of the year to the end of the year can only weigh more than two hundred kilograms after it grows for a couple of years. And
Food is also easily consumed. For example, the corn, sweet potatoes, rice bran and wheat bran here are basically eaten by pigs.
For example, pigs that eat compound feed grow faster and can be ready for slaughter in five or six months. If you think about it, they can raise two pigs a year at this rate, and then they can make more money.
Except for Aunt Liao's pigs in our Bayou family, most of the pigs in other households are basically eating compound feed. Even if they don't eat all of it, they are still eating half of it."
Grandma Mo nodded and said, "Yes, your Aunt Liao's pigs are the only ones in the Bayou that are fed pure grain.
The pigs in your Mr. Liu’s family, as well as your Aunt Shuying’s family, all eat compound feed.
The reason why your Aunt Liao's pigs haven't been eating compound feed is because the pigs have enough grass. For example, the discarded vegetable leaves or older vegetable leaves left over from picking vegetables at our house every day are given directly to her.
She’s feeding the pigs, but she also has some discarded vegetable leaves at home, so she feeds them with cornmeal, rice bran, wheat bran and the like, plus there are sweet potatoes in winter.”
Han Che said, "Then at this rate, how dare you buy pork outside in the future?"
Yan Chen said, "You can go and build a pig farm."
Han Che said, "I don't have that much pigweed," and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Hey, you can give me those unwanted discarded vegetable leaves at your house, and I will help you clean them up.
Trash, how about I give you one or two pigs when the time comes?"
Yan Chen was filled with disdain, "No!"
Han Che curled his lips and said, "Stingy!"
Xiang Jin said, "Who said we are stingy? It's not like we have no use for those discarded vegetable leaves. We want them to be fertilized, okay? If I give them to you, then don't we still have to pay for fertilizers out of our own pockets?"
Han Che said, "It sounds like you don't need to buy fertilizer."
Xiang Jin said, "Then you don't have to buy so much. At least you can spend less money. Well, otherwise, you can still raise pigs as usual. You just have to go to our place to buy those old vegetables and leaves that die every day. When the time comes,
At that time, we will calculate it cheaper for you, just how much it costs per ton."
Han Che rolled his eyes at her angrily, "Are you obsessed with money? You want to turn even rotten vegetable leaves into money?"
Xiang Jin also rolled his eyes at him angrily, "How about giving it to you for free?"
Immediately everyone in the vegetable field started laughing.
Han Che said, "Who wants you to give it away for free? Didn't I say I would give you two pigs when the time comes?"
Xiang Jin said, "Those discarded vegetable leaves from Aunt Liao's family and those from Grandma Mo's family were fed to five big fat pigs, as well as dozens of chickens and ducks from Aunt Liao's family."
, and Grandma Mo’s dozens of chickens.
Are all our discarded vegetable leaves worth two of your pigs? You were very smart in your calculation, and you sent us away with just two pigs."
Yan Chen said, "We will invest in a breeding industry when the time comes."
Han Che immediately asked, "What are you investing in? What are you investing in?"
Yan Chen said, "Anything is fine." In animal husbandry, they have already invested in chickens and ducks, and they can raise some sheep by then, which will be used for the mutton soup pot at the beginning of winter.
Han Che just said "cut" and said, "Still keeping it a secret?!"
Yan Chen prevaricated, "I haven't thought about it yet!"
Ouyang Bo was very excited as he listened to the chat between them. He felt that it was too easy for them to make money. Any idea could be used to make money, and any discarded thing could be used to make money.
They could all turn waste into treasure, and he suddenly felt very envious and admired them, and at the same time he also started to think deeply about his own future.
Just when they were halfway through picking vegetables, there was a sound of howling pigs in the bay. Xiang Jin asked Yan Chen, "Aunt Liao's pigs were killed?"
Han Che said with a surprised look on his face, "Kill?! Kill him now?! He just screamed!"
Xiang Jin said, "The one who barks a few times must be a butcher who is not good at his craftsmanship. The butcher who is skilled in his craftsmanship can only bark once."
Ouyang Bo asked, "Why?"
Xiang Jin said, "Because a skilled butcher can end a pig's life with just one cut, so the pig will only squeal once. If it's an unskilled butcher, he will kill the pig with several cuts. That way
The pig will have a very painful struggle, and it will wail many times in succession.
Therefore, many butchers are afraid that they will not go smoothly in the process of killing pigs, because this will leave people with the impression that they are not skilled in skills, and people will probably not like to come to him if they want to kill pigs in the future.
"
"Oh, that's it!" The two of them finally understood, and then Han Che followed up and asked, "Then what does the scene of killing a pig look like?"
Yan Chen shook his head, "I've never seen a pig killed."
Ouyang Bo also shook his head, "I haven't seen it either!"
Xiang Jin asked, "What scene? If you imagine how people kill chickens, ducks and sheep in the vegetable market, you will know how the pigs are slaughtered. Doesn't your family sell shredded rabbits and roasted chickens every day?
, you still ask?”
Han Che said, "There is a dedicated person in charge of this, and I have never been to the scene. How could I know?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Yes!"
At eleven o'clock, all the vegetables that Grandpa Zeng and his family will sell today have been picked, and several customers have been sent away. Grandma Mo asked, "Girl Jin, what are the vegetables you want to take away today?"
Are you going to pick them too soon or wait until your aunt and the others arrive?"
Xiang Jin said, "Pick it when you get here, the one who is not in a hurry."
Grandma Mo nodded, "Okay, then we'll pick them when they come. They'll be freshest then!"
So everyone went home, because they were having lunch at Aunt Liao's house for lunch, so there was nothing that needed to be done, so Han Che suggested that they play poker for a while.
Yan Chen and Ouyang Bo had no objection, and then they looked at Xiang Jin, and Yan Chen asked, "Do you want to go together?"
Xiang Jin waved her hand, "I won't join you. You three can play while I play with Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng." As she said that, she took out a pair from the drawer under the coffee table.
Grandpa Zeng and Grandma Mo also looked happy to participate.
The two of them saw each other and nodded, so the two groups of Landlords were formed. The old rule was that whoever lost would put a note with a strange painting on his face.
Just when they were having fun, Xiang Jin's brother and sister's family members arrived. In addition to her aunt, there were also her grandparents, and of course, the driver of the pickup truck.
Xiang Jin and his aunt got down from the car with their things. After greeting Grandma Mo, Grandpa Zeng, and Yan Chen, they explained to Grandpa Zeng, Grandma Mo, and Xiang Jin, "Xiao Jin, she
Mom and dad have been really busy lately, so they can’t come in person today. Let’s
I want to apologize to you, and I hope you understand. They will bring Xiang Jin to visit you in a few days to express their gratitude. These are my parents, my parents, and their thoughts for you. I also hope that Uncle Zeng and Aunt Mo will
Don’t dislike it, Xiaobo, I’m going to move a box of grapes out of the car.”
"Oh, okay!" Ouyang Bo stepped forward to move the fruit.
Seeing the gifts delivered to them, Grandma Mo said, "Oh, look at what you said, you are so uninformed, and buying so many gifts is really costing you," but Grandma Mo still said
He reached out and took all the gifts.
Xiang Jin and her grandmother said, "It doesn't cost anything, it doesn't cost anything, what does this mean? It should, it should!"
Yan Chen stepped forward to help her grandmother carry the gifts, and then Grandpa Zeng and Grandma Mo invited everyone to sit inside, so everyone went to the eaves of the street.
Grandma Mo pulled Xiang Jin and her grandma began to chat, "It's really difficult for Jin's parents. It's already this time and they are still so busy with work."
Xiang Jin and her grandmother said, "That's right. Recently, there have been a lot of people going to the bank to withdraw money. Every day they are crowded and lined up in long queues. Especially in the past two or three days, many units have
There were appointments to make withdrawals, wages and bonuses to employees, and some settlement accounts to be reviewed and sealed, so Xiaojin and her mother were extremely busy every day.
Xiaojin's father is even more unscrupulous. He wakes up early and stays late every day, holding either this or that meeting. He also has to go to various places for inspections and surveys, and he also has to visit important enterprises and institutions for investigation and research. Every day
I was so busy that my daughter-in-law and I did not touch the ground that day
I called my son and heard that she said that Xiaojin’s father often gets up at around six o’clock in the morning recently. Sometimes he would have breakfast at home, and sometimes he would have to go out without even having breakfast. When he came back, he would usually
It was after ten o'clock in the evening, and several times I didn't come back until close to twelve o'clock."
Grandpa Zeng suddenly interjected, "It's like that. Not to mention the special ones, even when I was the mayor, there were endless things to deal with every day. I was afraid that something would not be done well or I would make a wrong decision.
, it aroused the anger and dissatisfaction of the people, and even pointed at you and cursed you, let alone the position that Jin Yatou’s father is in now.”
Xiang Jin's grandfather also nodded and said, "Yes! Since the country and the people believe in us and elected us, then we cannot let the country and the people down, and we must be responsible to the country and the people."
"Well, that's right!" Grandpa Zeng nodded.
When everyone entered the house, Grandma Mo poured them water and made tea. After chatting with them for a while, Grandma Mo said to Xiang Jin, "Girl Jin, stay with your grandma for me.
Come with aunt and the others, and I'll make them some tea."
The so-called roasted tea here is not the kind of tea you drink, but a quick meal served to guests before the main meal, allowing the guests to fill their stomachs first, such as cracking a few poached eggs, making bowls of noodles, or cooking bowls
Dumplings or glutinous rice balls or something.
After Xiang Jin said those words, her grandmother grabbed her arm tightly and said, "Don't go, we're not even hungry yet, and we can't eat it even after we cook it."
"Huh? How old is it already? If you wait a little longer, it will be twelve o'clock?" Grandma Mo thought she was being polite.
Xiang Jin's aunt said, "Aunt Mo, it's true. I arrived at their Maode Middle School at almost ten o'clock. When I picked them up, they were having breakfast. So, are you really doing them right now?"
I can’t eat it.”
Xiang Jin's grandma said a little embarrassedly, "The children are not around, so their grandfather and I have gotten up a little late in the morning these days. We first washed up, then went downstairs to walk around the campus twice, and then
Then we stroll back slowly, and then make breakfast slowly, so we have had breakfast relatively late in recent days."
Grandma Mo looked at her and smiled, "That's good. As we get older, the pace of life has to slow down. It's good to be so slow. We also live so slowly."
Xiang Jin and her grandmother also had a smile on their face.
Then Grandma Mo looked at Xiang Jin and her aunt and said, "Your parents had breakfast late. You guys had breakfast early. I'll get some for you?" As she said this, she glanced to the side.
The pickup truck driver who listened silently to Xiang Jin's grandfather and Grandpa Zeng's conversation.
The driver waved his hand politely to her, saying no.
Xiang Jin and her aunt said, "We can't eat either. We also ate late. I told him that I would take him to Shengshui Town to eat the most delicious rice noodles, so we went to Shengshui Town with our stomachs saved."
The pickled cabbage, tofu, fish and rice noodles that Xiaojin and her classmates came to eat. Strictly speaking, we didn’t have breakfast much earlier than Xiaojin and his grandparents’ breakfast!
Xiaojin and her classmates immediately recognized me, and then asked her mother and grandmother to make the fish, tofu, and rice noodles in large portions, which made me feel embarrassed.
Yes, I was full in no time, so I am quite full by now."
Grandma Mo just laughed.
Xiang Jin said to Grandma Mo, "In that case, Grandma Mo, just forget it and don't do it. Let's save our stomach and go to Aunt Liao's house to eat pig meat later."
Grandma Mo's eyes narrowed with a smile, and then she responded with a doting look on her face, "Okay, okay!"
Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao was here. As soon as Grandma Mo finished speaking, Aunt Liao walked in with hurried steps. Then when she saw Xiang Jin, her grandparents and aunt, she greeted them enthusiastically and said, "Let's go."
They went to their house for lunch at noon.
Xiang Jin explained to them, "Aunt Liao's family is slaughtering the New Year pig today and invited us to eat the pig meat at noon. They came to greet us in the morning and asked if you would be able to arrive today."
Xiang Jin, her grandparents and aunts were not hypocritical people, so they all agreed happily, and then Aunt Liao said, "Okay, then it's settled, I just came over to say hello to you.
, then aunt, uncle, and eldest sister, I will go back first, huh?"
Everyone nodded, and then Aunt Liao turned around and left again.
Grandma Xiang Jin looked at Aunt Liao's back and said, "Aunt Liao is also a very capable and promising person. I see her so busy every time I come here."
Grandma Mo smiled and nodded in agreement, and also praised, "Yes, it is hard and tiring. Not only do we grow so many greenhouse vegetables all year round, but the crops in the fields do not fall. Every year at home,
Still need to raise
There are five or six pigs, dozens of chickens, dozens of ducks, and more than a dozen geese. Nothing is left behind inside and outside. Everything is taken care of in an orderly manner. In the bay
She is quiet and talkative, and has a cheerful temperament. She is a good wife!"
Xiang Jin's grandma nodded, "Well, I can see it! Xiao Jin also often said in front of us that her Aunt Liao, you and her Aunt Liao treat her very well."
Grandma Mo looked at Xiang Jin and said, "This kid is adorable!"
Xiang Jin's grandmother looked at Xiang Jin and smiled, and then asked, "Will my son-in-law come back to celebrate the New Year this year?"
Grandma Mo said, "That's right, but it's only the third and fourth year of junior high school. Oh, we don't care about them. We are all strong and have no background, so we won't rush them. What kind of work do they do?"
The nature is like that, so we understand it."
Xiang Jin and her grandmother nodded, and then heard Grandma Mo say with a smile on her face, "I heard that I can stay at home for a longer time and have a month's vacation."
Seeing the satisfied look on her face, Xiang Jin's grandma gently patted Grandma Mo's back on the hand, "Oh, that's great. You can spend more time with the children."
"That's it!"
Then Xiang Jin and her grandmother asked again, "Will my grandson come back?"
Grandma Mo said, "My grandson is not allowed to come back. My grandson just came back two years ago, and he won't come back for another few years, but it's okay. He will call us back when he is free. I heard him on the phone
