Chapter 143 Moving Pig-Killing Dish
The next day, the village chief specifically called Lu Xiang and asked, "When are you moving?"
Lu Xiang said: "We will officially move tomorrow, and then we can prepare the pig-killing dishes!" In the morning, the supply and marketing cooperative had already found a tricycle to deliver the things they bought!
Lu Xiang bought a lot of things and decorated the room with a brand new look. Several sisters-in-law from the Fu family came to see it several times, their eyes full of envy.
The mother-in-law immediately made the decision and prepared to slaughter the pig! The house has been open these days, and people often go to see that the Fu family is entertaining.
After the village chief received the news, he went home and told the women's director, "Lu Xiang has helped the village a lot. Let's send her some gifts!"
The women's director glanced at the village chief and said, "Do you even need to tell me that?"
Then he took out a basket with twenty eggs in it, which had been prepared long ago.
Giving eggs as a gift is the most economical, they are delicious when cooked and can be stored for a long time.
After they carried it over, they saw that there were not many people at Lu Xiangxin's house. After asking around, they said, "They all went to watch the pig being slaughtered!"
When the village chief heard this, he also went over.
The Lu family specially hired a butcher from outside to take the pig out. The pig had gained some meat, at least 240 kilograms.
Lu Xiang did not go when the pig was slaughtered because she was afraid of the bloody scene. It was only after a while that the pig was slaughtered and they started to clean up and prepare things, such as making blood sausage and cleaning the pork.
The local pigs raised at home are different. The fat inside is as thick as a finger. If it were meat oil, it would produce a lot of it.
The villagers had never seen such good meat in the butcher's shop. It wasn't that the butcher's shop didn't have any, but whenever good meat became available, the butcher's shop would keep it first, and it wouldn't be their turn to get it.
Everyone told Xiao Cailian that they wanted to buy meat.
Xiao Cailian didn't want to sell. But there were so many people asking for it, and since some of the families had good relationships with her, it was a rare opportunity for them to agree.
After thinking for a moment, he cut off the hind leg meat and added ten pounds of fat. A total of fifty pounds, he said, "That's all I'll sell. Don't even think about the rest! One pound per person."
The whole village was overjoyed.
Selling it for 1.5 yuan per pound. This was Xiao Cailian giving them a discount, so they all came to buy! Even 50 pounds of meat couldn't be sold out. It was quickly sold out.
The pig's offal, trotters, tails, intestines, and other items, along with the large bones, were all given to Lu Xiang, who also cut an extra ten pounds of pork! Since we were treating the entire village to meat, we couldn't be stingy.
Lu Xiang's previous pig offal had captivated everyone at the county steel mill, so the villagers were no exception. They had no idea how Lu Xiang prepared it, but the aroma was overwhelming. Even before they started eating, they were already feeling hungry.
Xiao Cailian thought for a moment, then called her sons and daughters-in-law over, giving them 20 jin (20 kg) of meat each and saying, "Take them to your mother-in-law's house." A total of 120 jin (20 kg) was shared among her four sons, and with the pig's blood and what they had sold earlier, there was less than 50 jin (20 kg) left.
The pig looked quite big, but there was not enough to share.
Xiao Cailian had originally wanted to give some to her brother from her mother's family, but now she had nothing left and couldn't bear to give it away! Anyway, she had a freezer now, so she had to eat it until the New Year.
Xiao Cailian cut another ten pounds of ribs for Lu Xiang. Now they've split up and started their own business! From now on, she'll have to cook for herself.
Xiao Cailian found Lu Xiang and said, "Originally, I should have given you the freezer, but we need it to store pork at home. I'll pay for whatever you spend. You can buy another one."
This advanced household appliance becomes better and better the more I use it. I freeze everything in it and now I can’t live without it!
Lu Xiang said, "Mom, just go ahead and use it."
Xiao Cailian now has a duck business and has become quite wealthy. She said, "It's alright. Just tell me. I can't take advantage of you. I just bought a house and don't have much money."
Lu Xiang said, "One thousand." Then she showed her the bill for the freezer.
Xiao Cailian said, "One thousand?" A freezer is more expensive than the house she bought.
Xiao Cailian had about 900 yuan in her hand, but she had to keep some money to get by. She couldn't give it all away. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I'll give you 700 yuan first. I'll give you the rest when I have more."
Lu Xiang couldn't persuade her mother-in-law and had to accept the money.
In the village, the Fu family steamed ten pots of multi-grain buns. Hundreds of them, each bigger than a fist, enough to fill a normal person! Knowing that Lu Xiang's cooking goes well with rice, they prepared extra to avoid running out.
Soon the food was served and the fragrance spread all the way.
The space at Lu Xiang's new home was not spacious enough, so she went to the threshing ground in the village.
The buckets for storing vegetables were borrowed from the cook who was in charge of the kitchen.
Everyone lined up in a long line, craning their necks to look inside! Soon, the food started to be served. After grabbing a bowl, I couldn't bear to finish it. I wanted to take it home and cook some more dishes in the evening.
I thought so, but I couldn't resist the aroma.
I was thinking of taking a sneaky bite, but after taking one, I wanted to take a second bite and finished it in no time.
Lu Xiang’s pig-killing dishes are substantial, with at least two slices of meat for each person.
They were all so delicious that I just ate them all here.
“It’s delicious!”
These people didn't eat for nothing. Knowing that Lu Xiang was moving, they all brought gifts. Some brought millet, some brought fermented rice wine, and some brought brown sugar. There was a variety of things, and the gifts were all quite generous.
Lu Xiang’s small kitchen was full, and she wanted to get some for Xiao Cailian.
Xiao Cailian said: "No need, we have them at home."
Xiao Cailian used to be unhappy because her son had moved out with the family, but now she has come to terms with it. They are in the same village and the distance is not far. When she misses her son and daughter-in-law, she can visit them at any time.
And after Lu Xiang and her family bought a house, she also became respectable.
Lu Xiang and Fu Qinhui had already moved out. Their house was immediately set up as a large bunk bed, and the eldest, second, and third children were all asked to sleep there, since they were all boys anyway.
As a result, the villagers were joking, especially to Fu Ersao and Fu Sansao: "Is your mother-in-law also urging you to have children quickly?"
They sent all the children away, but it wasn't just the young couple who were worried. What could possibly happen? It was on everyone's mind.
Mrs. Fu Er and Mrs. Fu San said, "Look at what you are saying." But their cheeks were red and they didn't know what to do tonight.
…
This was the first time Lu Xiang and Fu Qinhui lived outside.
That night, after the crowd had dispersed and they had finished cleaning up, both of them felt a bit sleepless. Fu Qinhui held Lu Xiang tightly.
He also kissed Lu Xiang.
Lu Xiang looked at and touched his wound, which had already scabbed over.
Fu Qinhui's eyes were deep: "I said, it's healed."
Lu Xiang hummed.
Fu Qinhui then handed Lu Xiang his own hundred yuan: "This money is for you."
Lu Xiang was stunned. Fu Qinhui earned a certain amount of money, but she didn't expect him to have some private money. "Take it for yourself!"
Fu Qinhui said: "No, you save it for me."
Lu Xiang took it.
The two talked for a while. They had been busy for a long time during the day, slaughtering pigs and cooking.
Lu Xiang fell asleep in Fu Qinhui's arms.
At night, Fu Qinhui kissed Lu Xiang's cheek, his expression becoming more gentle.
