Chapter 204 Someone came early in the morning
These butchers did the preparation work skillfully.
Then start boiling water in a large iron pot.
The three men worked in perfect harmony, first catching the pig and tying it up, then cutting it with a knife, and then hearing the pig howling. There was a large bucket below where they began to drain the pig's blood.
The pig soon became silent, and after draining out its blood, it began to be blanched.
Originally, these five pigs were prepared for Chen’s apprentice.
After shaving off the pig hair, cut the pig into half pieces and put them in the warehouse waiting for them to come and pick them up.
Chen Mei's pig farm is a bit far from the village.
The pig's howling in the early morning woke up the villagers.
The villagers started putting on their clothes without even opening their eyes.
Not only did he come himself, he also called his wife.
The man's voice was heavy with sleep: "Hurry, get up quickly. Didn't you say you wanted to buy pork?"
You have to get up early to buy pigs these days.
Otherwise, all the good meat would have been bought up by others.
"Yes, yes, let's go quickly." The woman went out in a daze, and it was just dawn.
It’s only at this time that the weather in midsummer becomes a little cooler.
After walking for a while, I found that there were many people.
Hurry up and take a few quick steps so that you can get to the front of the line.
Who would have thought that once someone ran up, everyone else would also become more energetic. How could this be possible?
When we arrived, the butcher was killing the second pig.
The village chief also got up early and came, and all the aunts in Dahua were there.
The village chief specially brought up the huge chopping board that the village used to use for slaughtering pigs. Shen Qingyue had a ready-made chopping board in her yard!
Then comes the knife sharpening.
If you want to cut pork, you must have a good knife.
Everyone was envious when they saw the big bucket of pig's blood.
"I have to buy some pig's blood today."
"Then you should buy some seriously. Once you get home and steam it, it will be so fragrant."
"When will it go on sale?" The number of people here gradually increased, a long queue formed, and there was some commotion in the crowd!
Fortunately, the village chief came to preside over the meeting and suppressed the commotion in the crowd.
The village chief said, "The first five pigs were ordered by Mr. Chen. Everyone, please wait a moment."
With so many people waiting, the butchers were very skillful.
Soon the third pig was slaughtered.
Old Chen and the fat chef, Chen Huai, came over together. Shen Qingyue also came out. No one had bothered to eat breakfast this early in the morning. They all came to watch the pig being slaughtered!
Wei Shui came with He Zhengchen.
Wei Shui is the biological son of Wei Hai, a big boss in the provincial capital, and he wants his son to gain some experience by He Zhengchen's side.
As a young man who grew up in the city, he has never experienced rural life.
Now that I'm in the village, I'm having a lot of fun and playing all day long.
Wei Shui's skin is a whole shade darker than before.
But he was quite happy.
He was so excited about the pig slaughter in the village that he couldn't sleep well last night.
I got up early this morning.
Catching pigs, tying up pigs, killing pigs and bleeding them, this whole process is like an art in his eyes.
He stared intently.
These butchers inherited the craft from their ancestors and they can kill pigs quickly. The pigs will stop squealing after a few grunts.
Then they dragged the pigs over and scalded them with boiling water to remove the hair.
After a while, the village chief discovered that the people who came to buy pigs were not only from the village, but also many strangers. They were all from other villages!
The man from another village said, "My sister-in-law came over and told me there was some good pork, so I got up early to come here."
People from other villages didn't have the same convenience as the locals, so they had to set off before dawn to get a good spot.
The villagers didn't expect so many people to come.
Some people haven't come yet, so ask them to bring some over.
Soon the queue stretched to the point of no return.
The village chief was speechless to the villagers. Why did he tell so many people about the pig slaughter?
How many heads are enough for this?
Everyone heard that the first five pigs were ordered by Mr. Chen.
The pig was cut open, and everyone was fascinated by it. The white fat was as thick as a finger.
Oh my god, this would be so delicious if used to stew meat.
It is worthy of being the pig that all pig farms want to buy.
"This pig is really good."
"That's right." Everyone's heart was even more excited.
The village chief went straight to Shen Qingyue and said, "Three pigs are definitely not enough to share. Many people from other villages have come."
Shen Qingyue said: "Then kill a few more."
Now the second batch of pigs are almost grown up.
The second batch is fifty pigs, and after the first batch is killed, another hundred pigs have to be brought back. Killing the pigs earlier means the pigsty can be emptied earlier!
Chen Mei was also there. She said, "Then I'll talk to the butcher."
When we first told the butcher we had three pigs, three people from his family came and said we had eight. Now we have to kill more!
The leader of the butchers said, "Then please go to our village home and call for at least three more people."
Catching and killing these three or four hundred kilograms of pigs, and snapping their hair, is definitely a physically demanding job.
The sun hasn't even risen yet, but the butcher is already exhausted.
Chen Mei asked someone to go out and look for the butcher's family.
The butchers did not stop their work.
After slaughtering the five pigs, they were quickly hauled to the cold storage. It was hot out there, and they would spoil otherwise.
