Jiangbei is indeed well-informed.
At noon, when Sheng Zhiyi went to the pigpen to feed the pigs, the team leader came over.
He told Sheng Zhiyi that the village would have to hand in the pigs for the task in a few days, and asked him to feed them carefully in the next few days and not let them lose weight.
Because the superiors have requirements for each task pig, each task pig submitted must not weigh less than 130 kilograms.
Any task pig weighing less than 130 kilograms is considered unqualified.
The mission pigs of this era also have another name, called "patriotic pigs."
In the early months of the twelfth lunar month (December), several brigades under the commune had already begun to hand in their assigned pigs one after another.
Because during this period, the task pigs of each brigade can be slaughtered.
So each brigade has a set time.
You can only go to the food station to hand in the task pig on the day notified by the commune. It will not work if you do so late or early.
By the time it was their team's turn to hand in the pigs, it was already mid-December.
According to the regulations from above (transfer one and keep one), their Yanshan Brigade raised a total of four pigs.
In other words, their team has to hand in two task pigs in total.
Handed in two mission pigs and obtained two (pig retention certificates).
The team was able to slaughter the remaining two pigs.
Distribute the meat to all the villagers, big and small.
In this era, pigs cannot be killed at will.
Because killing pigs at will is illegal.
The brigade must obtain a (pig retention certificate) before it can be considered to be legally slaughtering pigs.
The pigs in their team are being raised well this year, and each pig weighs about 140 kilograms.
Wait until they hand in the quest pig.
Then slaughter the remaining two pigs.
By then, every household will be able to get several kilograms of meat and have a prosperous New Year.
In Yanshan Brigade.
Killing the New Year pig is a big event comparable to distributing grain.
When will the New Year pig be slaughtered...?
How to divide pork...?
How much meat can each family get...?
The villagers were able to discuss this for months.
now……
The villagers finally waited for this day.
Early this morning.
The team leader and the accountant of the team came to the pigpen early in the morning with a few villagers.
Feed the four pigs in the pigsty well.
The excuse is to give them good food and drink as a last farewell.
(In fact, after the pigs are sent to the commune, they still need to be weighed. If the pigs are well fed, they will weigh a little more when weighed.)
Wait until the pigs are full and satisfied.
The team leader, accountant Wang, and several villagers worked together to deliver two of the "patriotic pigs" to the commune's food station.
When they came back, they obtained the (pig retention certificate).
The brigade can then invite a butcher to start slaughtering pigs.
The pig butcher in their brigade was registered and approved by the commune.
In addition to slaughtering the pigs, he was also responsible for collecting the (pig retention certificates) and handing them over to the commune.
A little after nine in the morning.
The team leader, accountant Wang, and several villagers had already delivered the pigs they were assigned to and returned from the commune.
At the same time, I also brought back two (pig retention certificates).
The children were waiting at the village entrance early in the morning, looking forward to it.
Saw the captain and the others coming back.
Everyone gathered around with joy.
They shouted loudly and eagerly,
"They're back~they're back~the captain and the others are back."
"We're going to kill the New Year pig. Everyone will get their share of the meat soon."
"Kill the New Year pig...Kill the New Year pig..."
The children's joyful shouts were heard one after another.
A few older children volunteered to go to the butcher's house.
He clamored to invite a butcher to kill the pig.
In fact, on a great day like today, it is not just the children who are excited.
The villagers are also looking forward to it very much.
So when I heard the children shouting that the captain was back.
The villagers were originally sitting by the fire and chatting in their houses.
One by one, they all came out of their homes.
Although we had just shared the meat during the winter hunt a few days ago... we had also eaten the meat.
But this does not affect everyone's enthusiasm and anticipation for slaughtering the New Year pig.
After all, game is also meat.
But it’s still not as delicious as pork.
One reason is that pork is rich in fat and water.
For many ordinary rural families, the meat they get from slaughtering the New Year pig is a good thing that can solve their financial problems for the whole year.
The second is to improve the food at home.
You know, in rural areas, it is difficult for ordinary families to eat meat.
Or there is no meat ticket...
Or no money to buy...
Even if you have money and tickets, you may not be able to get meat in the commune.
Therefore, many families with slightly poorer conditions cannot eat meat all year round.
They can only wait for the winter hunting in the village, or distribute the meat when slaughtering the New Year pig, to improve the family’s food.
