Chapter 125 Mission Pig
Little kids, don't cry. We will kill pigs in the twelfth lunar month. We will drink Laba porridge for a few days. It will be the thirteenth lunar month. We will eat sugar melon on the thirteenth lunar month...
Killing pigs is the end of the year. All members, regardless of gender, age or status, look forward to this time the most, apart from receiving wages and food!
In this era when people are hungry, raising pigs is a difficult task!
In addition to the lack of extra food to feed, the mission pig system stipulated above is also a reason why many people are discouraged!
The so-called task pigs are the rigid regulations imposed by the above!
There is no fixed number of pigs to be raised, but if you kill one you have to hand over a pig to the collector, and the weight of the pig cannot be less than 90 kilograms!
Nowadays, there is no pig feed, and pigs are fed with grain, grass, and bran. If a pig is raised to 120-130 kilograms in its entirety, it is considered a very careful and meticulous care by the owner!
Therefore, there are not many families in Sikanzi who can afford to raise pigs, except for the team leader's family and Zhang Chun's family!
In addition, the Sikanzi Brigade also raised 4 more!
The fourteenth day of the twelfth lunar month was the time when the villagers agreed to hand in their assigned pigs. Although the Lu family did not raise pigs, there were four pigs in the village, and two of them had to be handed in!
After all the task pigs have been handed in, the purchasing station will issue a receipt, and they can then kill the pigs that belong to them!
In order to deliver the pig smoothly, Secretary Kuo Kubo specially asked Lu Yao to follow!
There's no way. Pigs, even though they do nothing but eat and sleep every day, are not stupid. They will walk out of the pigsty and onto unfamiliar roads. At first, they have never seen the world and will be very curious. They don't need to be driven. They will trot happily all the way!
Of course, this lazy pig, after the novelty wore off, might be tired, or might feel that its life as a pig is about to end. In any case, the further it goes, the less tired it becomes!
Even a small whip won't do it! It perfectly illustrates the saying "a dead pig is not afraid of a whip"!
I heard from the villagers that when the trend of handing over pigs for a certain amount of time first came around, the villagers were not well prepared and suffered a lot. Once, a pig broke down halfway through the journey and the pig driver couldn’t move no matter how hard he pulled. There were not enough people to lift the pig, so they had no choice but to go back halfway to get help to lift it!
As a result, perhaps because the pigs were collected too hard, the pig harvest was finished early when they arrived at the purchasing station!
There are regulations for mission pigs. Sick or dead pigs will not be accepted. Once a pig is identified as a sick pig, for fear of plague, not only can you not take it back, you have to hand over another mission pig!
It's not easy for a family to raise two pigs. If they give up another one, all their efforts will be in vain. The pork, lard and bacon they have been waiting for will all be gone. All their hard work will go down the drain.
No one can stand this!
Fortunately, the pig died right before arriving at the purchasing station, and its body was still warm. The marks left by the whip on its body proved the pig's innocence, so we didn't lose any money!
Since then, every time Liu Jiubao handed in a pig for a mission, he would carefully select several strong men, at least one pig for three sedan chair bearers!
Knowing that Lu Yao had to go with the pigs to hand in a mission and would have to go early in the morning and would not be back until the afternoon, he got up early in the morning, threw two pieces of wood into the stove, relit the fire, and used the dough from last night to bake 10 cabbage and meat pancakes!
I packed 6 for Lu Yao, and had 4 left to share with Xiao Bei and the others, just enough for one person!
When it’s time for dinner, cook half a pot of corn porridge, and today’s breakfast will be ready!
"Wanru, why did you get up so early today? What are you doing? It smells so good!"
It seems that there is not much noise, but the smell of the food is overwhelming, especially the smell of the meat, which is simply too overbearing!
Du Meiting smelled the fragrance, forced away the sleepiness and got up!
"Meat pie, Lu Yao has to go with us to deliver the pigs today, so prepare some breakfast for him. There are four pieces left in the pot, which I saved. We will also eat this in the morning. It's a good time for you to get up and help me watch over it. I have to deliver the pie to Lu Yao!"
"Hey, okay, go ahead, I promise to take good care of you and never leave you alone!"
Wow, where is the meat pie? Although she has financial support from her family and has no shortage of food, she needs meat coupons to buy meat, so it is not easy to eat meat!
No need to ask, this must be like his partner sending him pork and noodles!
Little Wanru is so happy. She has found a love partner who often feeds her with all kinds of delicious food! What should I do? She is envious. Why not find one in the village? ?
I just don’t know if my parents will agree!
The happiness index of a foodie is entirely measured by eating!
While Du Meiting was daydreaming, she did not forget to turn the pancake over!
