Chapter 364 Bai Yu's Invitation
The meat from this pig was specially reserved for eating during the Chinese New Year, so Ning Xiyue cut the whole pig into pieces and arranged them, removed the bones and put them in a basket. Thanks to her ability to weave, there was no shortage of various utensils in the space to store the meat.
A pig weighing 310 pounds filled three baskets in total.
It took four hours to process a pig, which was neither fast nor slow. Ning Xiyue was personally satisfied.
In order to eat fresh meat, she put all the meat of the pig into the static system backpack.
As for the smoked meat, pickled meat and cured meat, she can make them when she wants to in the future. The fresh meat in the backpack can be used whenever she wants without affecting the quality of the meat.
Ning Xiyue looked at the system and thankfully said, "Tongzi, luckily your system backpack has a huge space and has such a useful function. I don't have to worry about the storage of the remaining 21 pigs."
"That's right. The space in this system backpack is infinite. You can put as many things as you want in it. It will never be full." The little turtle raised his little turtle head proudly.
Ning Xiyue said that this was indeed something it could be proud of, and she could not refute Xiao Tongzi.
February 13th, the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month.
That was the night after slaughtering the pig, and there was still no moon in the sky.
The newly-professional butcher Ning Xiyue entered the No. 2 pigpen in the space, killed pig No. 2, cleaned the skin, and emptied the insides. The whole pig was then put into the system backpack and stored on the woven bamboo rack inside.
Ning Xiyue planned to kill all the remaining pigs, empty their internal organs and store the whole pig in the pot until they were ready to be eaten.
February 14th, the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, 9 o'clock in the evening.
Ning Xiyue left pigpen No. 3 empty and still processed a pig and put it into the system backpack, leaving nineteen pigs.
There is an opportunity on February 15th, the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.
During the lunch break, Ning Xiyue entered the space and sharpened her knife to prepare for slaughtering the pig. Just as she sharpened the slightly dull boning knife, she heard someone outside calling for her.
Ning Xiyue looked at the pig in pen No. 4 eating its food with regret, and let it finish its last lunch for the time being so that it could live a little longer.
Put down the boning knife in your hand and leave the space.
She walked out of the room to see who had disturbed her enjoyment of slaughtering the pig.
Ning Xiyue walked out with a bit of fierce temperament of slaughtering a pig still on her face. Seeing Bai Yu and his wife standing at the door and looking at her with a smile, her expression softened a little and she restrained her expression and momentum.
Don't hit someone who smiles at you.
What's more, the couple often came to "show their courtesy" in the past six months, giving her delicious food under the banner of condolences from the adults in the family. Considering that she had eaten so many delicious foods, she had to give them a good face.
It can be considered that the conflict between the two parties was eased. They were just ordinary relatives and their expressions when they met were normal relatives.
"Sister Bai, what do you want from me?"
Bai Yu didn't beat around the bush and said straight to the point:
"Tomorrow we are going to the city to do some work and buy some New Year's goods. There is a special car coming to pick us up. It can seat four people. Do you and your brother want to go?"
Ning Xiyue raised her right eyebrow slightly, and her heart was moved: "Will it trouble you?"
From the tone of his voice, it seems that he doesn't mean to refuse.
Bai Yu, who wanted to make up for his mistakes every day, was delighted and quickly waved to Ning Xiyue:
"It won't be a problem. I'll get you the letter of introduction. When you get there, just go and do things on your own. Don't worry about us. We'll arrange a time to go back and meet up at the designated place on time. It won't delay anything at all."
"Okay, I'll go. You'll have to ask my brother whether he's going or not before I tell you."
As soon as Ning Xiyue finished speaking, Ning Qingyuan, who had heard the news, hurried over.
"What do you want to ask me?"
Ning Qingyuan stood beside his sister and stared at the two people opposite him vigilantly.
Ever since what happened, every time the couple came to see Ning Xiyue, he would appear beside them, staring at them with his big round eyes.
During the past six months, no matter how many gifts the two of them gave to ease the relationship, he always disliked the couple and it never changed.
"I'm asking you if you want to go to the city to play. Let's go buy some New Year's goods. I agree to go. It depends on whether you want to go or not." Ning Xiyue replied.
She had never been to the city, so she wanted to take this opportunity to go shopping and see if she could buy anything good or sign in for any good items.
Although the Youth League had agreed to go to the town to buy New Year's goods yesterday, and she had already bought some, she didn't want to miss such a convenient opportunity to go to the city.
"Sister, if you go, of course I have to go too. Let's go to the city and have a good stroll. It's very lively now during the New Year."
Ning Qingyuan agreed immediately and agreed to go without hesitation. He had to protect his sister as he was worried about these two people.
"Well, let's meet at the dam entrance on the brigade at six o'clock tomorrow morning."
After Bai Yu told them the agreed time, she left the Youth League Institute without saying a word, along with Zhou Cheng, who just served as a background figure.
It was the morning of February 17, 1977, the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.
As Ning Xiyue got up, Tongzi started whispering in her ear.
"Host, today is a good day. Good things will happen. Maybe today will free your hands from killing pigs."
"I hope it's as you say."
Ning Xiyue's reaction was calm. She was not surprised and there was no expression on her face. She seemed to have heard an insignificant piece of news and continued to wash.
After washing, she walked towards the kitchen, while saying indifferently to Tongzi in her heart.
"I don't care if I don't have it. I can kill pigs myself now. It doesn't interfere with my work at all. My hands and waist don't get sore. It also helps me exercise my arm strength. It's pretty good."
