This second senior brother is not only very big, but also very strong.
Even though it was being held down by everyone, it was still struggling and shaking its head crazily.
The butcher held the butcher's knife and tried several times, but failed to penetrate it.
Because the pig kept moving, he couldn't find the right place to cut.
"A few more people will come, Zhang An's pig is too strong, these people will definitely not be able to hold it down."
Originally, when he saw five or six people moving forward to hold him down, Zhang An had no intention of going over and squeezing.
Because there is not much room on the edge of the stone table.
At this moment, the pig butcher saw that these five or six people couldn't hold them down at all, and he couldn't kill them.
So I could only call people to the side. Fortunately, there were many people watching the fun today.
As soon as the pig butcher shouted, several people came up to help him.
"Zhang An, why are you still standing? Why don't you come over quickly?"
Zhang An originally wanted to go, but saw a few more people going there, so he didn't go there either.
But the butcher couldn't stand it, they all knew Zhang An's strength.
This person can stand up to two people. Standing there and watching blindly, instead of tending the pigs, is a waste of talent.
"I thought so many people would be enough. There's not much room for many people in this big ass area next to the desk."
Zhang An, who was named, was not embarrassed and smiled.
He took the sleeves and apron handed over by the second aunt next to him and put them on.
Go over and hold the pig's front body, and hold the two pig ears with both hands.
With the participation of these next few people, the second senior brother on the case is really unable to move.
The pig butcher was very skilled. He used a white knife and a red knife to kill the big guy.
"It seems that your family has the biggest pig again this year. How many pigs do you plan to kill this year?"
After blowing the pig just now, the butcher's face turned red and he was gasping for air.
While the old men in the village were shaving the pig hair, the pig butcher also found a place to squat and rest.
Then we started chatting with Zhang An.
"I can't say for sure now. We'll see how many we kill when we have time."
Anyway, this matter is still early, and there is no rush to decide now.
If I just want to kill it for myself and eat some from my two uncles' families, one head is basically enough.
Last year, Li Hongbin wanted more, so he killed two of them.
"I feel like there will be more people buying meat from your family this year than last year. I just saw your pig, and the meat is no worse than last year."
Pig butchers often work with pigs, and they can tell the quality of the meat just by looking at the pork.
Of course it's not bad. Last year we raised white pigs, but this year we raised native pigs.
In terms of meat alone, this local pork is more fragrant than white pork.
After all, in terms of price, local pork is about 50 cents more expensive than white pork.
But in the local area, since the introduction of hybrid white pig breeds, there have been fewer people raising native pigs.
Because the imported white pigs give birth to pigs quickly, the meat yield rate is much higher than that of native pigs.
For everyone nowadays, more than 90% of people don't care which pork is delicious.
After all, pork freedom has not yet been achieved in everyone’s lives.
The meat is the best if you can eat two bites of it, so there are more people raising white pigs naturally.
The local pigs, which grow slowly and have a low meat yield, are gradually abandoned by many people.
But it’s not that no one raises them, there are also some specialized families who raise their own New Year pigs.
That is to say, Zhang An's family can raise such a big pig. If it were another family, the pig would probably be only 178.
Maybe after the meat is produced, everyone in the village will see the meat of the pig and plan to buy meat from Zhang An's house during the Chinese New Year.
Anyway, let's see when the time comes. The meat from this local pig will definitely be more expensive than the meat at the butcher stall.
Most people in the village probably wouldn't consider it. At most, they would just buy two kilograms to eat at home.
If someone does say hello, I will wait until there are more people to ask for it. Zhang An's family does not specialize in selling pork.
Li Hongbin's family hasn't moved here yet, so everyone didn't make noises about eating pig-killing rice at noon.
After all, the pig was killed today for the banquet tomorrow, and everyone was invited by Li Hongbin.
After killing the pig, I put the pork away. It will be moved early tomorrow morning, so I didn’t do much to preserve it.
Li Hongbin took out 30 yuan and handed it to the butcher, treating it as the cost of killing the pig.
But the pig butcher confiscated it and said he was here to help and would not charge any money.
Their family was also coming to have a dinner tomorrow, so I pushed the money back.
The next day, Li Hongbin's family really moved here.
In the early morning, Li Hongbin drove the whole family from the town.
Their belongings have been brought over a long time ago, but no one has moved in yet.
As soon as the morning came, his relatives hung the red cloth they had sent on the door of Li Hongbin's house.
This is a local custom, which means it is auspicious.
"The weather is auspicious, the heaven and the earth are open, neither too early nor too late. It is the time when the master's family will make money..."
As soon as the auspicious time arrived, Zhang An and Li Hongbin lit the firecrackers at the gate.
The elders of their family began to sing housewarming songs in the main room, which is called Kaicaimen in the local area.
When the old man is making a fortune, the people around him should be quiet and not noisy.
Generally, the people who are invited to sing the housewarming lyrics are relatively important in the family.
Either he is senior and older, or he has made great contributions to the family.
The person Li Hongbin’s family invited was his second uncle, who is now over eighty years old and the oldest in his family.
Under the shrine in the main room, a pair of thick candles were lit, illuminating the main room brightly.
There were many people from the village who came to join in the fun, and when the housewarming words were finished singing in the main room, they sang for several minutes.
Everyone went in to help "burn the bottom of the pot", so that it would be considered a real move.
Li Hongbin's family moved from one place to another, so they paid more attention to it.
When Zhang An's family moved before, it wasn't so grand.
In other words, it's enough for the old man to help open a business and the big guys to help cook the bottom of the pot.
Because Zhang An's family has always been in the village, they just moved from one house to another.
And Zhang An didn't want to cause too much trouble. Hosting a banquet is a very troublesome thing.
People in Zhang An are inherently lazy, so they can save money if they can.
Today, Li Hongbin invited the only two chefs in the village, Zhang Jianzhong and Zhou Yang, to take charge of cooking.
Until now, Changqing Village has moved people to have a meal, but this is the first time that Li Hongbin's family has done so.
Everyone was hesitant about whether to give him a gift or not. After all, they didn't know Li Hongbin before.
Even though we know each other now, we are not that familiar.
And how much you should give as a gift is also something everyone considers.
But Li Hongbin also took this into consideration and simply refused to accept any gift.
Their family is not from Changqing Village, so they joined halfway and have no deep relationship with the villagers.
So I just wanted to take this opportunity to let my parents get acquainted with everyone.
In this way, if his parents are in the village, they will get along well with everyone in the future. After all, they are soft-spoken.
This can make everyone feel proud. This banquet will bring in a lot of money.
It was not until noon, when the dishes in the kitchen were ready, that the village began to notify people to come for dinner.
Li Hongbin did not arrange particularly sumptuous dishes, but served them according to local recipes.
However, there are more meat and vegetables on the table, so that everyone can eat comfortably.
This time I didn’t invite anyone else, I just invited people from the village to eat.
There are only about a dozen tables in total, and more than a hundred people can eat.
Most people go to one or two per family and don't have the nerve to go more.
The main reason is that Li Hongbin’s family didn’t accept gifts. If he brought his family along with him, it would be too ugly to eat and it would make people laugh.
Anyone who has had a banquet in the countryside knows that many families give a gift, and there are often seven or eight people in the family eating there.
After Li Hongbin's family moved, the small mountain village returned to its former peace.
"Zhang An, if you want a baby or not, I will send one to you right away."
As soon as Zhang An got up and was brushing his teeth in the courtyard, he saw Mr. Huang who had returned from the mountain.
Hearing what Mr. Huang said, Zhang An also wanted to laugh.
"Second Master, why don't you ask me if I want a wife?"
Mr. Huang had never seen that TV series before, and he was quite stunned when he heard Zhang An talking like this.
"You want a daughter-in-law. I have a niece. Her girl is eighteen or nineteen years old this year. She is very suitable for you. If you have any ideas, I can come to your home and help you."
Poof~
Zhang An was just talking nonsense, but Mr. Huang took it seriously.
A mouthful of white foam spurted out directly from Zhang An's mouth.
"Second Master, I'm just kidding, what kind of treasure did you just say?"
Zhang An quickly stopped the topic. Zhang An really remembered the cousin's daughter that the old man mentioned.
In later generations, the old man said that he gave it to a young man in the village.
Zhang An seemed to remember that the man in the village was named Wang Dequan.
The girl is actually pretty good-looking, not pretty but not ugly either. Anyway, she is average in all aspects and she is hard-working.
However, this alone cannot make Zhang An remember it so clearly.
Mainly because this girl and Wang Dequan from the village gave birth to three eldest children. This was the first set of triplets in Changqing Village in many years, and they were all sons.
Therefore, their family became the first in the village to give birth to three sons without being fined.
Needless to say, Zhang An knows how things will develop next.
The three eldest children will grow up, get married and start a family, which will directly make these two families miserable.
Moreover, this girl is a typical hot girl from Hedong Lion. She has a very fierce temper and can hit people hard.
When he first got married, Wang Dequan would occasionally drink and play cards with everyone.
But later the villagers discovered that Wang Dequan rarely came out to drink and play cards.
It turns out that he was trained by his mother-in-law to be obedient. He didn't dare to go out and fool around. He could only be obedient at home.
Although Zhang An was not worried about not being able to defeat her, he still had to forget about such a temper.
So when Zhang An heard Huang Er mention this matter, he decisively skipped the topic and let Wang Dequan continue to suffer.
Huang Erye heard Zhang An's question and took something out from behind.
"Well, this is it. I know you like to keep these messy things, so I brought one for you today."
Zhang An didn't see it clearly at first, thinking it was a pheasant on the mountain or something.
When I got closer, I saw, my dear, this is not a pheasant, this is the God of War at night.
"Second Master, why do you always bring a night owl back?"
Zhang An had a bit of a dumbfounded look on his face. This night owl's nickname is Owl.
This thing's fighting power is very strong at night, even if it is blind during the day (it is indeed blind).
But during the day, the defense is fully stretched, the skin is rough and the flesh is thick, and at night it explodes violently.
Even the flower head of the family is no match for it at night.
Moreover, this thing holds a grudge. If you bully it during the day, it will definitely come to you at night.
Later Zhang An saw it, and it was only bullied a few times by kites during the day.
As a result, this guy went over at night and wiped out the whole family of the kite that bullied it.
"Yesterday I went to the mountains to set a trap to see if I could get something back. I waited for the Chinese New Year, but I didn't expect anything. I found out that this guy ran into my net."
Mr. Huang was quite helpless, he just wanted to get some prey, but who knew he would end up with this thing.
"I was thinking that you liked these messy things, so I didn't let them go and brought them back."
Now Zhang An had no choice but to accept it, and Mr. Huang brought it back.
If you put it back, this guy will definitely come looking for it at night.
Unless they kill it, but it's fine, Huang Erye and Zhang An won't kill it.
"Okay, then I thank you, sir, and I'll accept it."
Zhang An took the night owl from Mr. Huang, and it didn't feel very big when he held it.
This little guy still has some fur on his body. Zhang An estimates that he is not yet an adult.
It's not scary. What's scary is its father and mother.
"By the way, take these eggs."
Mr. Huang took out four or five eggs from the bamboo basket in his hand and handed them to Zhang An.
This egg is relatively small, a little gray and white, with some brown spots on it, much smaller than the local eggs at home.
"Second Master, don't you know that my family sells eggs? You can take them back and fry them yourself."
Zhang An thought they were wild eggs from the mountains, and there was no shortage of eggs at home.
"Just take it if you are told to. This is a golden egg. If it were a wild egg, I wouldn't be too lazy to give it to you."
When Zhang An heard that it was a golden egg, he immediately became serious.
Zhang An has been looking for this thing in the mountains this year, but has never found it.
Unexpectedly, Huang Erye took out the chicken coop.
Golden pheasant is what Zhang An and his friends call here, and it is the red-bellied golden pheasant in later generations.
Although the whole golden rooster has grown up, it can be more than one meter from head to tail.
But its body is really not that big, it is very small.
Most of the length is its tail, which is particularly beautiful.
Although there are Zhang An and others in the mountains, the number of golden roosters is particularly small compared to the silver roosters.
The ecology in the mountains is still so good now, but we don’t see much of it, and it will be even harder to see in the future.
I have met Zhang An several times since I was a child.
If we say that the silver rooster looks very good-looking, it looks like a phoenix, but its pure white feathers make it look weird.
But this golden rooster is different. It really looks like a phoenix.
It is the species closest to the phoenix in nature.
"Second Master, are you sure it's the Golden Rooster?"
Zhang An took the eggs and asked Mr. Huang with some disbelief.
"Don't worry, these are the golden rooster's eggs. I saw the golden rooster flying out of the nest with my own eyes. There were a few males hanging around under the tree at that time. They were still warm when I took them out, so they must have been freshly laid.
"
When Huang Erye heard that Zhang An didn't believe it, he rolled his eyes. His old man needed to beheaded.
"I know you like these weird things, so I took them out and you can hatch them yourself. They should be able to hatch. There are too few golden chickens in our old mountain forest, so I didn't think of trapping them.
, it can be regarded as giving my old man some virtue."
Mr. Huang is a seasoned expert. Don't look at him usually setting traps in the mountains to use this or that.
But most of them are trapped because of the abundant wild animals in the local area.
Mr. Huang would not do anything to the animals that were really few. Instead, he would give some food to them when he saw them, and help those who needed help.
