Gao Yuanshan said that the pig trough had been empty all day, which was necessary. It seemed that he had planned to hold such a program when he received his son's class reunion and planned to hold it at his home.
Perhaps because of feelings or memories, many people of the older generation tend to spare no effort in supporting tradition. This is not the same thing as some people like to call "revival of tradition", because people like Gao Yuanshan live a traditional life.
The method is very traditional.
"I blew the pig legs vigorously, picked the pig hair quickly with my hands and eyes, and turned the intestines and stomach upside down... It stinks. Liu, the butcher here, was entrusted by Master Gao to kill this beast. He will clean it with one stroke and he will not commit any sin!" Liu Changan took the butcher knife and said,
First I sang the opera from "The Butcher's Number One Scholar".
"Haha, it's really like that." Gao Yuanshan shook his head and sang along with a few lines and laughed. No wonder his son has so many classmates, and the one he admires the most is Liu Changan. This kid is indeed extraordinary.
The pig was tied up and carried to the dock. What Liu Changan had to do was actually very simple. He knelt on the pig with one knee, grabbed the pig's chin with one hand, and used force to highlight the pig's throat. He held the butcher knife with the other hand and pulled it straight.
Stab it in and pierce the heart of the pig, turn the handle of the knife and pull it out, blood spurts out and flows into the blood basin.
One way is to hang the pig upside down and cut its throat to make bleeding easier, but this method just makes the pig die faster.
Liu Changan really raised the knife with his hand and brought it down, killing him with one clean stroke. After the pig screamed a few times, the wailing sound soon stopped, but the screams of the girls were more like the endless killing of the pig.
Although the boys didn't scream, they were a little surprised after seeing the world.
More people are thinking, Liu Changan can kill pigs? Is there anything he can't do?
Of course, what a butcher does is not just to stab the butcher. In the past, in addition to collecting money, after the pig was killed, the pig hair, small intestines and pancreas belonged to the butcher, and the kidneys and tenderloin had to be fried for the butcher to eat. Of course, it is different now.
Yes, some only kill pigs but don’t sell them, and some only sell pigs but don’t kill them. They are all mechanized industry assembly lines.
Liu Changan was not interested in playing any kind of games with his classmates, so he just stayed here with the Gao family and his son to continue handling the pig, shaving it, disemboweling it, disemboweling it, draining red and white water and cleaning it, that's all.
A whole afternoon.
The yard in front of the farmhouse was covered in blood. It was obvious that everyone was very curious about the killing of pigs. No one except Gao Dewei participated in the whole process with such interest as Liu Changan. Instead, he waited for Liu Changan to kill the whole pig.
After it has been processed and divided into various ingredients, everyone will feel familiar. This is a pig!
"Xiao Liu, it's the Chinese New Year. You must come back to play again. My uncle will take you to kill sheep and cows again. That's called the Chinese New Year. It's really no fun to stay in the city to celebrate the Chinese New Year now." Gao Yuanshan warmly invited.
"Okay, no problem." Although Liu Changan is particularly able to adapt to life in various eras, it is also interesting to remember the past and some things that will gradually disappear.
He can also accept anything buried in time and never shine again. He can also accept any incredible new things and try them... He is not just trying to use a mobile phone after meeting a female star.
An alien professor who uses a pager to show that he is old-fashioned.
"We will also teach our sons to kill pigs in the future and pass on this craft." Gao Dewei said with great foresight.
"Yes, you must know how to kill pigs." Gao Yuanshan nodded, "This will make the children strong. There are so many sissies now because they have never killed chickens."
Liu Changan cupped his hands to express his agreement with the father and son's views.
A whole pig was killed, and naturally there was a whole pig feast in the evening. Liu Changan also had the opportunity to show off his skills. How many dishes can one pig make? This is definitely a number that is unimaginable for non-professional chefs.
.
Of course, today's focus was on eating rather than focusing on skills. Liu Changan just chose pig's trotters, ribs, pork, fried intestines, liver and kidneys, etc. He would kill the pig in the afternoon and cook in the evening.
An Nuan couldn't get involved when butchering the pig. When preparing dinner, An Nuan finally found an opportunity to help. He was still good at chopping vegetables and preparing ingredients.
"You don't have to worry about me not being able to feed you anymore." Liu Changan stir-fried in an iron pot. The farmhouse music gave him the same feeling as when he went to the countryside to join the queue decades ago. In the past two to three hundred years, ten or twenty years, he has been
It is an era of change that makes people overwhelmed. There are far more novelties in life than in the previous hundreds and thousands of years. Liu Changan feels more and more that his mentality is healthy and lively. For example, he now plans to live a good life.
.
"Who will support you?" An Nuan looked proud and glanced at Bai Hui not far away, "I am not someone who is picky and has high hopes for my boyfriend."
An Nuan actually supports Lin Xinnai more and more. Although according to Liu Changan, there is no right or wrong between Miao Yingying and Lin Xinnai, but An Nuan can choose who she prefers to support.
"It's too unfulfilling for you to say that." Liu Chang'an said with great regret, "Your criteria for choosing a boyfriend are so casual, it's too unfulfilling. If your choice is between the best of non-human beings and the best of all, it's the best of all."
You cannot be arrogant, so I would be very satisfied."
"You meet my criteria for choosing a butcher as a boyfriend." An Nuan laughed, put down the kitchen knife and pepper in his hand, ran over and jumped on Liu Changan's back and hugged his neck.
This is what An Nuan has always liked to do, hanging around his neck.
"I'm cooking and playing." Liu Changan said helplessly, his body motionless as he held the spoon. If it had been anyone else, he would have pushed him away with a slap.
An Nuan chuckled twice and got down. What girls like to do most is to make boys helpless but have to pamper them.
An Nuan didn't go to play, but still cooked vegetables with Liu Changan. She had been waiting all afternoon, worried that others would say she was too clingy to Liu Changan. It was already evening, who would dare to say that she only knew how to be clingy?
Gao Dewei counted the students who were staying overnight and finally arranged a double room for An Nuan and Liu Changan.
An Nuan and Liu Changan didn't know that Gao Dewei had arranged it casually. He tried to keep male classmates with male classmates and female classmates with female classmates. In the end, there was only a double room left, and only Liu Changan and An Nuan were left. It didn't matter.
, the trouble of changing back and forth.
Another couple in the class, a male classmate, secretly approached Gao Dewei and asked him to arrange a single room. After all, when male and female friends hang out together, how can a boy not make such arrangements?
So Gao Dewei was naturally inspired. Although there was no deliberate arrangement, since only Liu Changan and An Nuan were left, wouldn't it be natural? Gao Dewei was worried that Miao Yingying would commit suicide, but he also arranged for Miao Yingying and Bai Hui to arrange Liu Changan and An Nuan.
Warm the room next door, and tell Liu Changan not to sleep too much when the time comes, but to pay attention to it——
