You don’t need any special skills to make lanterns, you just need to know a little about bamboo weaving.
Zhou Ziwen was weaving a big lantern, so he just had to ensure it was round.
With his third-level bamboo weaving skills, there is no problem at all.
In just a short while, eight big round lanterns were made.
"Brother Zhou, is Zhaodi on your side?"
At this time, Zhou Chaoyang's voice sounded outside.
Without opening the door, Zhou Chaoyang pushed it open and walked in.
"Chatting inside!"
Zhou Ziwen looked up at him, then lowered his head and started working again.
"Hey, Brother Zhou, are these the lanterns you made? Why do you make so many?" Zhou Chaoyang glanced at the several large lanterns placed aside, a little puzzled.
"Take two lanterns back later and paste red paper on them yourself. Do you have red paper?" Zhou Ziwen asked.
"Yes! Zhaodi and I bought it when we went to the county town last time." Zhou Chaoyang nodded repeatedly with a big smile on his face.
He gave a thumbs-up and said nice things as if they were free. "Brother Zhou, you take care of your younger brother so much. Needless to say, you are my real big brother from now on."
"If you are my elder brother, you have to do the hard work!" Zhou Ziwen glanced at him.
Zhou Chaoyang chuckled and wisely changed the subject, "By the way, Brother Zhou, have you heard? The village is going to slaughter the New Year pig, and the villagers are all waiting to divide the meat!"
"Then can we get a share of the meat?" Zhou Ziwen became interested when he heard it.
He really didn't know about this, and even if the pigs were killed, they might not get much, because they were educated youth!
"Of course we can get some meat. We are also part of Dabazi Village. It's just that we can't get much. After all, we have been here for too short a time." Zhou Chaoyang spread his hands.
"That's true." Zhou Ziwen nodded in understanding.
"Brother Zhou, why are you nodding? You are different from us. I am sure that you must have gotten a lot of meat, more than those native villagers." Zhou Chaoyang said.
"It doesn't really matter how much meat I get. I have enough meat to eat anyway."
Zhou Ziwen smiled indifferently.
To be honest, he really doesn't care about this. All he cares about is an attitude.
After all, he has contributed to the village and made contributions to the village.
It would be sad if he was given less meat.
"Brother Ziwen, what are you talking about dividing the pork?"
At this moment, several girls who were chatting in the room also heard the noise and ran out.
"Chaoyang said that the village is slaughtering the New Year pig today, and the meat will be distributed later." Zhou Ziwen explained.
"Really?" Chen Qiaoyi, Chen Shiying and the other two girls' eyes lit up.
"Of course it's true. I heard that some villagers went to the production team to wait, just to get a piece of good meat." Zhou Chaoyang explained.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go and guard it too, so that the good meat won't be picked up by others." Shen Zhaodi said hurriedly.
"Yes, if we go too late, we won't be able to get the good meat." Chen Qiaoyi also said hurriedly.
"Let's go quickly. I'm here to call you." Zhou Chaoyang said.
He was out for a stroll just now and happened to hear the news from an old lady.
Otherwise, they might not know!
After all, there are good and bad meats, and everyone wants to get the good ones first. If they go too late, they won’t be able to get the good meat.
"Let's go! Let's go and see how the New Year pig is slaughtered." Zhou Ziwen stood up and said curiously.
With his cooking skills, although he knew how to butcher a pig, he had never seen it done in person.
Today, he also wanted to take this opportunity to join in the fun.
Zhou Ziwen left as soon as he said he would, taking the Chen sisters, Zhou Chaoyang and Shen Zhaodi with him to the production team.
On the way to the production team, they met some villagers who had also received the news.
Everyone greeted each other, then headed towards the production team chatting and laughing.
"Aunt Li, does our village slaughter New Year pigs every year?"
On the way to the production team, Zhou Ziwen asked curiously.
"Yes, we kill pigs every year. Last year we killed five pigs, and each family could get several kilograms!" Aunt Li said with a smile.
"So many!" Zhou Ziwen smiled when he heard this.
Three pigs are a lot, especially the pigs in the production team, which eat pure natural pig grass every day, sometimes with a little wheat bran added.
The meat of pigs fed with this kind of pure natural and pollution-free grain and pig grass tastes delicious.
However, there is a disadvantage: pigs fed with grain and pig grass do not grow as fast as pigs grown with feed.
Generally speaking, few pigs in the production team weighed more than 200 kilograms.
Any pig weighing more than 180 kilograms can be called a fat pig.
Those weighing more than 160 kilograms are considered qualified.
Generally speaking, people will raise pigs to weigh more than 180 kilograms.
After all, in this era, families rarely eat meat.
Not everyone is like Zhou Ziwen, who has both money and the means to get wild game.
Throughout the year, it is considered good if you can eat meat once a month.
"By the way, I heard that some production teams would kill pigs for the New Year and eat them together. Why don't we eat together?"
Zhou Ziwen was a little curious.
If everyone eats together, it will be a buffet, and the scene must be very lively.
"Hey, we did it twice before, but we stopped doing that later. We just divided the meat and took it home to eat, so everyone felt more comfortable." Aunt Li waved her hand. Although she didn't say the specific reason, it seemed that it was not a good thing.
Seeing this, Zhou Ziwen didn't ask any more questions and tactfully changed the subject.
Chatting and laughing all the way, they soon arrived at the production team.
At this time, quite a few people had gathered in the production team's threshing ground.
At the edge of the threshing ground, a dozen men were busy slaughtering pigs.
It can be seen at the scene that several of the pigs have been slaughtered and are now being shaved.
Some were placed on a large chopping board, and someone was skillfully dividing the meat.
Some pigs were screaming wildly, but they were stabbed with white knives and then red knives. They died after struggling for a few seconds.
"It's so lively! So this is what slaughtering a pig looks like!" Chen Qiaoyi stood on tiptoe to look at a pig being slaughtered.
"Brother Zhou, which part of the meat do you think we should choose later?" Zhou Chaoyang asked as he looked up.
"We have no shortage of meat to eat, so don't choose the fat later."
Hearing this, both the Chen sisters and Zhou Chaoyang nodded.
To be honest, because they eat meat so often, fatty meat is no longer attractive to them.
Even Zhou Chaoyang and Shen Zhaodi didn't care about that little bit of profit.
"Then what should we choose?" Everyone looked at Zhou Ziwen, as if he would make the decision.
"How about this, the three of us choose spare ribs, and the two of you choose pork belly. If there's no pork belly, you can choose leaner meat."
Zhou Ziwen spoke.
"Okay, let's choose spare ribs. I haven't eaten spare ribs in a long time."
Upon hearing Zhou Ziwen's arrangement, Chen Qiaoyi was the first to raise her hand in agreement.
"We happen to have some radishes at home. We'll have radish stewed with pork ribs in a couple of days." Chen Shiying also said with a smile.
"Well, then we'll choose pork belly." Zhou Chaoyang and Shen Zhaodi looked at each other and nodded at the same time. (End of this chapter)
