The first thousand three hundred and thirty-six chapters
Liuxu covered Han Xiaoxiao's eyes to prevent her from seeing this bloody process, fearing that it would leave a shadow on the child's heart.
However, looking at Han Xiaoxiao holding Liu Catkin's hand and peeking between her fingers, she knew that this little girl was not afraid at all. On the contrary, Han Feng, as a boy, was a little afraid to look at it. After all, he had lived in the city since he was a child.
I have never seen anything like this before, so it’s understandable that I feel a little scared.
Although he knew it was excusable, Han Kongque still felt a little uncomfortable. His son couldn't be as brave as a girl.
Thinking about how to educate his son in the future, the scene has become busy.
At this time, the busy people did not care about the people outside watching the excitement. After they completely emptied the blood, the four strong laborers lifted the big fat pig and threw it into a large pot full of hot water.
Inside, iron it once, and then use a razor blade to shave off the hair all over the body.
The village chief has been raising this pig since the spring of this year until now. It has been fed with grain or grass. The villagers have not had the consciousness to feed it, and they do not have the money to buy feed, so this pig is really
It is really a solid body of flesh, the hair has been shaved off, and the whole body is completely white.
Rinse it twice more with water, put it on the chopping board, and the butcher begins to disembowel it.
First, the internal organs were taken out and placed in special basins. Then the knives were flying up and down, and the bright knives reflected so brightly that it was hard to open their eyes.
The entire pig skin was peeled off cleanly, revealing the red and white meat inside.
Thinking about the delicious pork they would be able to eat after returning home, a group of half-grown men couldn't help but look straight at the meat under the butcher's knife.
The pig butcher pointed his four fingers at the village chief, who immediately stopped smiling from ear to ear.
The older generation has their own way of judging the quality of pork. This fingering method to measure the thickness of pig fat was the most commonly used method in rural cooperatives in the past.
Five fingers thick is the best, but there are very few pork of this thickness, followed by four fingers. Most of the pork fed with feed now can reach two fingers thick, which is good.
Of course, people nowadays don’t like to eat fat meat, and some pig farms even use clenbuterol to feed lean pigs. But if you think about it, is it normal for pigs to only grow lean meat?
So pigs without fat and lean meat are not tasty either.
After the pigs were processed, the housewives took pots and went over to buy pork.
They first went to the village chief to register how many kilograms they wanted, but they didn't give them any money at first. They made a note of it and then calculated the money.
The prices in the village are one to two yuan cheaper than those sold outside, but this is more cost-effective than selling the pigs to pig dealers, so there are many people buying meat.
Han Kongque's family ordered five pounds of rump meat, which is considered the best meat in a pig.
The pig butcher naturally knew Han Peacock. After telling him how much he wanted, he quickly waved his knife and cut out the pork in a few strokes.
At this time, the pig butcher worked non-stop, dividing all the pork to be sold into the kilograms that the villagers wanted, and the difference was not much different.
Everyone bought a pig with two pounds and three pounds, and soon all that was left of a pig was a hind leg and head, as well as some offal.
Of course, there is still a back leg that the village chief keeps for his family to eat, otherwise it will definitely be bought away.
In this way, there are still many people who have not bought it, but there is no rush. It is estimated that some people will continue to slaughter pigs tomorrow.
Someone has long wanted to kill it, but the village chief's family has not yet killed it. Other families can't kill it either, and you can't do things across the stove and on the kang. Now that the village chief's family has slaughtered it, other people can also kill it.
Killing the New Year pig is also a festive event. The village chief's family will definitely be treating guests to dinner today.
But you definitely can't invite everyone in the village, as that would be enough to feed a whole pig. Just invite some people who are prestigious or close to each other.
Although Han Kongque was young, he was still kept. Even Liuxu was called by the village chief's old aunt to help in the kitchen. As for Qin Mingyue and Zhou Meiren, although they all knew about their existence, no one knew about their existence.
I had the nerve to call them, but Zhou Mei and Qin Mingyue were naturally happy to have their time at ease.
The old village chief kept Han Feng and Han Xiaoxiao. After all, they were also from the village, and they were destined to be Han Peacock's heirs. Such children would definitely not return to the village often in the future.
If you don't keep in touch now and leave a deep impression on them, fewer people will come back in the future, and the relationship with the village will fade, and this is definitely not what the villagers want.
So even Han Feng and Han Xiaoxiao had to go to the banquet.
However, Han Feng felt a little frightened at the thought of sitting at a table with a group of big men and drinking from a big bowl, so she quickly pulled Han Xiaoxiao and followed Liu Xu to the kitchen to help.
The main dish for our guests today is some offal from the pig we just killed.
Stir-fried pig ears, steamed pig intestines, and steamed pig tails are all eaten quickly.
After the wine was finished, the old village chief, under the hesitation of the old men, ran out and brought a jar of wine that had been hidden for several years. Only then did everyone let him go.
Finally, braised pork ribs were served, and everyone was full of praise. Han Peacock knew that this was made by Liu Xu without even thinking about it. For people in the village, if you ask her to make big meat braised radish, cabbage braised vermicelli, it's okay, but she really can't do this.
Come.
It wasn't until the afternoon that everyone left happily and drunkenly. Han Kongque and his party of four also headed home.
The snow on the road has melted completely, and only in the shades of mountains and in places where the sun is basically invisible for a day, there is still snow.
Han Feng opened his arms and said: "The life here is really good, the mountains are nice, and the people are nice. I really want to live here forever."
The others smiled and said nothing. Han Xiaoxiao said, "Then you can live with us forever."
Children are always so generous and loyal, and they are also the first to be integrated.
"Don't you find me annoying?" Han Feng asked Han Xiaoxiao.
"No, brother, don't think I'm annoying in the future." The little girl waved her hands vigorously. She didn't know what she thought of, but her eyes were bright.
When they got home, it was quiet. Only Zhou Mei and Qin Mingyue were left. The two of them had made some food for themselves. After living in the countryside for a few days, they were also familiar with the cooking stoves at home.
Simple meals are still ok.
Now that they have all had the experience of cooking, I can't say how delicious it is, but now if I leave them at home, they will definitely not starve to death.
When Han Kongque and the others went home, Qin Mingyue was holding a tablet and chatting with friends on Penguin. Han Kongque glanced at the content of the chat and found that she was introducing the beautiful scenery of the mountain village to her classmates.
Hearing that the village was so lively, as soon as Qin Mingyue said it, some people couldn't help but say they wanted to come over to celebrate the New Year.
However, seeing this situation, Han Kongque hurriedly stopped it. Although their place was developing well, they could not receive too many people. Now there were slightly more tourists in the village, and many problems had arisen.
After all, the restaurants and hotels in the village are not that professional. Now during the Chinese New Year, this unprofessionalism is even more serious. The villagers are too serious about the New Year reunion. At this time, even if the family business is good, they are a little unwilling to receive guests.
.
In the next few days, several pigs were slaughtered, and Han Kongque was called over to have a few meals. Although he didn't care about the food and drink, he couldn't resist the kindness of others, so he had no choice but to go, but Liuxu was again
Didn't follow either.
In the atmosphere where people are becoming more and more cheerful, the twentieth lunar month has arrived, but it is time to clean the house.
Sweep away the dust and bad luck of the old year and welcome the new year with a new look and new atmosphere.
The adults and children in the family worked together to clean the front and back of the house, refreshing the places that needed to be refreshed, throwing away the old things that needed to be thrown away, and re-planning the layout of the house.
After a busy day of work, the house has changed a lot. It has a completely new look. The refreshed walls reflect the brightness of the house, and the mood is also brighter. The neat things, brand-new electrical appliances, and the strong atmosphere of the New Year.
During dinner in the evening, Han Kongque said: "Are you planning to go to the market tomorrow to buy some New Year's goods? Who is interested in going?"
In fact, Han Kongque's question was a bit redundant. All women like to do this. Even after Han Xiaoxiao visited the market once, she always thought about shopping and asked all day long when she would go to the market.
Of course, Han Feng was no exception. He loved to participate in such lively events. It was his first time in the countryside and everything he saw was strange, not to mention the large New Year gatherings in the countryside.
That kind of place is crowded with people and has festive scenes everywhere, not to mention children, even adults like it very much.
So as soon as Han Kongque finished speaking, he just like Han Xiaoxiao, raised his hands and shouted: "I'll go, I'll go, is this the big market in town?"
Although Zhou Meiren was unwilling to go out, she saw that everyone had gone and the children were not worried about following her, so she agreed to go.
Liuxu looked at everyone. She was worried that there was no one at home to take care of them. Many people were worried about some of the things they brought back. Of course, the people in the village were very relieved. They were afraid of people with ulterior motives. Even if the village was full of people like this,
Hidden lines protect your home and are impossible to guard against.
If there was no one at home, it would be troublesome if it was stolen, so Liuxu shook his head and signaled: "You go ahead, I won't go, I have to leave someone at home."
Before Han Kongque spoke, Qin Mingyue looked at Liu Catkin, then at Zhou Meiren and said, "Then it's better for Sister Liu to go, and I'll stay at home."
Han Peacock knocked on his chopsticks and said: "Let's all go. Don't leave anyone at home. Just leave the Black Lion couple at home. With the two of them here, no one can enter this house. If you really can't defeat it,
, it’s always okay to call twice.” (To be continued.)
