In a blink of an eye, it was the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the riverside village, which had been quiet for a few days, became bustling again.
The production team slaughtered pigs and distributed the meat.
Wang Zhaozhao was dragged along by Wang Sibing to watch the fun and get some meat.
The harvest this year is good. Not only is the grain harvest good, but the pigs raised by each family are also fat and strong.
Five New Year pigs were slaughtered, and the whole village was filled with happy laughter.
While they were slaughtering pigs, the people from the brigade took out the account book and calculated everyone's work points for the year. After the meat was distributed, everyone could collect food, money and tickets at any time.
Meat is also distributed according to work points.
Wang Zhaozhao didn't go to watch the pig slaughtering with Wang Baojia and the others. What was so interesting about it? The New Year pig is slaughtered every year. Is it good to watch it since childhood?
It would be better to care about how many work points your family has, how much meat you can get, and how much food and money tickets you can get.
"It would be nice if we could make some dumplings." Unable to hold back, she muttered softly, smacking her lips and emphasizing, "Meat dumplings!"
The last time they ate dumplings was on New Year’s Eve last year. At that time, the family had not yet split up, and she ate three of the whole family. That was because they were divided directly. If she had fought for them, she might not have gotten one.
The main thing is that there is not much meat, but you can smell a little bit of meat.
"Tell your grandma later." Wang Sibing heard it and licked his lips subconsciously.
"You say." Wang Zhaozhao shook his head.
"Now your milk hurts you..."
"Grandma loves you the most, my youngest child. I am just a worthless granddaughter."
The uncle and nephew were pushing and shoving each other. Both wanted to eat and neither wanted to go up and get scolded.
Wang Zhaozhao thought for a moment and asked, "Fourth Uncle, are there any dumplings to eat in town?"
"I'm going to the county."
“…”Forget it!
Wang Zhaozhao really hates taking the bus.
Wang Sibing felt secretly amused when he saw her like that.
When the accountant called Wang Dahai's name, he was already very far behind.
There was no way. When he divided the family, he just divided the work points separately. How could it compare to other families?
If they were to join forces, they would definitely be in the top five.
"Alas, I'm not in the first tier to receive meat this year." Wang Sibing sighed.
The order of priority is based on one year's performance and work points. It cannot be absolutely fair and just, but it is basically fair.
Everyone wanted to get in front and get the fat meat! The brigade made a rule to arrange the people according to their work points.
“…” Wang Zhaozhao didn’t know what to say and could only raise his eyebrows helplessly.
Finally, it was their turn to get the meat. Wang Sibing picked up Wang Zhaozhao and said, "Come on, niece, let's go choose the meat together."
Xie Ailian failed to stop him and stomped her feet in anger.
He complained to Wang Dahai, "Both are ridiculous. We will definitely run out of oil next year."
"You go and choose, it will be the same next year." Wang Dahai said it honestly. After all, they could only get five kilograms of meat in total.
Although it is necessary to match fat and lean meat, the ones picked earlier must have all the fat meat taken away, and no matter how good you are at choosing, you won’t be able to pick out a single flower.
Wang Zhaozhao followed Wang Sibing forward and, to be honest, the taste was a bit pungent.
There was the stench of pig manure, the heat and smell of pork, all mixed together into an indescribable smell.
The only options they had were the hind legs and belly meat, but Wang Zhaozhao was captivated by the pig's feet...
Braised pork trotters, I want to eat it.
I want to eat braised pork trotters, too.
"Fourth Uncle, if we choose pig's feet, will there still be meat?" Wang Zhaozhao quietly pulled Wang Sibing and asked him in a low voice.
"Your grandma will scold you to death." Wang Sibing answered the question irrelevantly.
“…”
Wang Zhaozhao felt a chill down his spine.
sin.
When I think about it, I feel like I deserve a beating.
"Brother Xiangdong, if we want an elbow, how many pounds of meat can we get?" Wang Sibing asked Wang Xiangdong, who was in charge of dividing the meat.
"You want pork elbow?" Wang Xiangdong looked incredulous.
"Yes..." Wang Sibing nodded.
Wang Zhaozhao quickly pulled him aside and said anxiously, "Fourth Uncle, what are you doing? Aren't you afraid of your grandma scolding you?"
The elbow does not contain leg meat and is not a good thing for poor families because it is all bones.
"After hearing what you said, I want to eat braised pig's trotters too."
"Gudong!"
Wang Zhaozhao swallowed inadvertently and hesitated for a moment, "Then if grandma scolds me, we'll both stand next to each other."
"OK."
Wang Sibing agreed readily.
Wang Xiangdong watched the uncle and nephew quickly reach a consensus, secretly amused. When they looked over, he said, "If you want the elbow, I'll give you four pounds of hind leg meat."
Can!
The uncle and nephew nodded in unison.
Xie Ailian, who was standing on tiptoe watching from below, felt something was wrong and yelled at the top of her voice, "Old Four, you better behave yourself."
The voice was so loud that it echoed.
Wang Sibing waved at her and told her not to worry.
Wang Zhaozhao next to him grinned guiltily.
Then, the entire riverside village was filled with Xie Ailian's angry curses, "You two bastards..."
Don't worry, the person in charge of cutting the meat is already chopping the elbows.
This sudden scene immediately improved the mood of the old ladies who had been jealous of Xie Ailian's show-off in the second half of the year.
I told you to brag during normal times, but you can just chew on the bones during the New Year.
"Brother Xiangdong, if you want that pair of pig intestines, how much meat should you exchange for them?" Something unexpected happened up ahead.
Wang Sibing saw another thing he wanted to eat.
Well.
Wang Zhaozhao was startled and grabbed Wang Sibing again, "Uncle Si, are you really going to die? Grandma might use a knife."
"I won't resort to violence, but I'll get scolded. I'm going to get scolded anyway, so I'll give it a good beating."
"...Warrior!" Wang Zhaozhao gave a thumbs up sincerely.
Then, she swallowed her saliva again. She actually liked eating pig intestines...
"You asked for a pork elbow and a set of pig intestines. I'll exchange them for eight ounces of meat."
Okay!
The uncle and nephew nodded in unison again.
Wang Xiangdong and the person in charge of chopping the meat were almost laughing to death at the uncle and nephew. The person chopping the meat also praised the uncle and nephew for their good eating skills.
Isn't he a good eater? He only picks out what others don't want.
"Mom, your eldest granddaughter said she wants to eat braised pork trotters..." After taking down a piece of meat, Wang Sibing said quickly when he met the angry Xie Aixie.
watt?
Wang Zhaozhao's eyes widened. Wasn't it agreed that each of them would take half of the responsibility? Why was he trying to pass the buck right away?
Can we still be uncle and nephew?
"Grandma, it wasn't me. I didn't have any. It was Fourth Uncle. He wanted the pork elbow... and the pig intestines, that's what Fourth Uncle wanted too. Didn't you just see it down there? I even tried to persuade him, but it didn't work."
Come on, let’s hurt each other.
"You two...get out of here." Xie Ailian's eyes hurt as she looked at them.
Tell them to go away, but don't forget to take the meat away.
The two of them left without wasting any time.
He didn't roll anywhere else, but rolled straight back home. Wang Sibing even took the initiative to light the fire in the stove.
To eat pig's feet, you need to heat the tongs and burn the pig hair, and wash the pig intestines with hot water several times...
