Chapter 127 Killing Pigs
December 24th
After handing in the task pig, the two remaining pigs in the village can be slaughtered!
The two pigs left behind were both very picky, weighing about 140 to 50 kilograms!
Killing pigs and eating pork, this is not a festival but because everyone in the village is looking forward to it, the celebration is more lively than any regular festival!
Early in the morning, the men in the village who were responsible for catching pigs jumped into the pigpen to catch pigs. Perhaps knowing that their life as pig catchers was about to end, the fat and stupid pigs were unwilling to surrender. The tragic pig howls resounded throughout the village, and they struggled fiercely!
With that kind of strength, it would take at least three or five people to catch them!
After catching the pig, the men tied up the pig's front and back legs with hoof shackles, passed a thick and long wooden stick through the shackles, and lifted the pig up. Then, amid the fat and silly screams, they carried the pig to the open space in front of the brigade department with excitement and joy!
The little kids in the village surrounded the pigs all the way, screaming louder than the pigs themselves and running towards the village office!
Meat, eat meat! ! They seemed to be able to smell the aroma of pork already and were so greedy!
Before slaughtering the pig, the pig must be weighed with a large scale in the village, and then it can be placed on a fixed table in a side-lying position. Several people hold the pig down, and the village butcher holds a sharp knife in his hand and inserts it hard into the throat, with the tip of the knife piercing the heart!
The ladies who had already prepared the pig's blood hurriedly connected the basin with a bowl of salt water placed in it beforehand, and then the pig's blood gushed out. During the process, they had to stir it constantly to prevent the pig's blood from coagulating!
This is the blood sausage that will be stuffed later!
"The pigs are so cute, what should I do? I want to eat braised pork, roasted pork belly, and stewed pork ribs with dried beans, but I don't know how much I can earn with my little salary!"
"Don't panic, we're both the same. At worst, we can just switch things up later, and then we can all have some!"
"I see!"
Although the pork smelled delicious, the scene of slaughtering the pig was too bloody. Everyone was so timid that they didn't dare to move forward!
Several people wearing thick cotton-padded jackets, one holding his sleeves, squatted together beside the big stove set up in front of the village office, watching the fire and keeping warm!
I have to say that the Northeastern accent is too corrosive, no matter if they are from Sichuan Province or from another time and space, after more than a period of adjustment, not only will the accent be altered, but some of the behaviors and habits will also be almost the same!
Just look at the four of them squatting there in their green cotton-padded jackets, blue cotton trousers, and dog-skin hats. How can their image be compared to the temperament of the educated youth from the city when they first arrived?
This is called being down-to-earth!
If you want to fit in this village, you can't be too pretentious!
Otherwise, they would be like the newcomers Yu Hongqi and Lu Guochang, who had to be politely asked to leave wherever they went. Others were either busy or had not come yet and would come back when the pork was ready, or they would gather in a group and chat about something, laughing from time to time. These two people were unwilling to wait in the educated youth point and liked to go to crowded places. They claimed that they came to the countryside to educate people and always wanted to preach some great principles. It was normal for the villagers to be illiterate. Who understood this?
If someone doesn't want to listen, just leave them there. How embarrassing it is!
"I heard that these two got their marriage certificate yesterday, and they are also going to hold a wedding banquet at the Youth League Center!"
"I don't know what Yu Hongqi is thinking. It's obvious that Lu Guochang is a man who can't support his family. He is full of evil intentions and hides behind women in everything he does. Yu Hongqi is also blind and just lets others order him around like a gun!"
Qiao Xiaobei is a clear-headed person with a sharp eye!
"Not everyone is like your Lu Yao, who is capable and caring. Even though he is from the countryside, he is better than the male educated youths in our educated youth camp. Even though you look silly, you have good vision!"
