The big pot has been set up and the water has started to boil. Men, women, young and old are all gathered around to watch the annual pig-killing ceremony.
The blood collecting basins were already set up, and the chopping boards were all ready. When the educated youths came back from the catching of the pigs, they would be sent to the back of the queue when distributing the pork, just like they were distributing the rice.
But Lin Weiwan had thought it over and was going to sell the pork she was given. She would rather eat grass than eat it.
There is still pork and bacon in our own space, we are just short of that.
The pig kept jumping around violently as the sharp blade was sharpened, but it was suppressed.
After a while, it started to move. After bleeding, we started to boil water and scrape the pig's hair.
The meat distribution process officially started, and those who shouted their numbers went over. Of course, they had to bring money with them, and even though the New Year pig was given away for free, the price was lower than the price outside.
The price of pork in the city is very low, but the price on the black market is as high as 2.5-2.9 and the demand is still in short supply.
The New Year pork distributed in the village requires a meat ticket, and the price is 0.6 yuan per pound.
People aged 18 to 59 will receive half a pound of pork each, and people aged 60 and above and 15-17 will receive two pounds of pork each.
Children aged 7-14 can receive 3 taels of pork, and children aged 0-6 can receive 2 taels of pork.
Even though the amount is small, every household with a combined population can take home three kilograms of meat, and families with a larger population can take home more than that.
There are more than 50 households and more than 200 people in Dongsheng Village. These five pigs will be just enough.
When it was the turn of the educated youth, Lin Weiwan received two pieces of pork loin and walked back with the others.
When the pork was divided, the pig's blood and leftovers were the educated youth's turn.
The pig blood should be shared with related families, and all the goods will be returned to the kilometer.
The seven pig killers and the village officials would gather together for dinner in the evening.
The rest was frozen, and after the New Year and the beginning of spring, when the village held a gathering to discuss production plans, these things would be kept by the village authorities as a snack.
After returning to the educated youth point, Lin Weiwan felt a little embarrassed when looking at the piece of meat and could only freeze it first.
On the other side, the crowd dispersed, but the village chief looked unhappy. His favorite dish in previous years, stir-fried large intestine, seemed hard to swallow this year.
I accepted it with my eyes closed. Several people were packing up the pig offal, and they looked at the large intestine with some worry.
As for what happened in the end, no one on that day ever mentioned it again... This incident has become a big mystery in Dongsheng Village.
According to gossip, the village chief took people to Sun's family and exchanged the meat for Sun's family's large intestine.
Some people said that the village chief used fried large intestines to entertain guests from the neighboring village. Some people even said that the village chief cooked it with his eyes closed.
In short, the village chief took full responsibility for this matter.
Since that incident, the pigpen has been a forbidden area for the Sun family. If the villagers see the Sun brothers approaching the pigpen, they will drive them away. Of course, this is a later story.
That night the whole village was filled with the aroma of meat. Although what the Sun brothers did was disgusting, who could refuse such a fishy smell after seeing it once a year?
Lin Weiwan found a piece of meat from the space and cooked it for herself.
Today, Ye Jibai, Hu Xiaopang and the other two went out to eat together. According to Ye Jibai's understanding of Lin Weiwan.
It is estimated that this meat forest will move sooner or later and will find a way to replace it.
Wang Qiaoyun cut some of the meat and cooked vegetables with the female educated youth in the front yard. As for the rest, everyone was waiting to eat it during the Chinese New Year.
On February 6, several people went into the city to buy things for the New Year. Lin Weiwan wanted to go to the space where all kinds of things were available, and many things were exposed, but Wang Qiaoyun kept her company, so she had to go with him.
At the end of the day, they bought some snacks, fruits and red paper. Lin Weiwan also bought some candied melons and candies, which are unique to the Northeast.
It was crispy and sweet in one bite, Lin Weiwan liked it very much. There were six more candied melons in Ye Jibai’s basket.
We rushed to the market and bought some household items before leaving.
After returning to the educated youth center, Lin Weiwan was about to open the door but found that the door lock was broken.
Many people went to the city to buy things today. Everyone is obsessed with the New Year, so it is easy to say who went and who did not.
Ye Jibai stood beside Lin Weiwan, looked at the door lock that was pried open, and reached out to stop Lin Weiwan.
"I'll check it out, you go borrow the flashlight from Xiaopang."
The lighting in the earthen house is good, and even when you enter the house during the day, the light is still very dim.
There is no electricity in Dongsheng Village, and all homes rely on primitive kerosene lamps or wax sticks for lighting.
Lin Weiwan borrowed a flashlight, and was followed by Hu Xiaopang and Shen Minghua.
Ye Jibai took the flashlight, opened the door and checked, but there was no change in the outer room.
Except for the drawer on the cupboard which had been pulled up, there was nothing else in the outer room.
When I entered the inner room, I found that all the locks on the cabinets had been violently pried open, and the things inside had been turned out.
Clothes were scattered all over the floor, and the kang mats had been taken off. Lin Weiwan looked around calmly and found that the people who came in were looking for something with a purpose.
There was also a little bit of malice, for example, some of my things were damaged.
The ground was littered with torn trousers, shredded shirts, and rubber shoes that were covered in snow and mud.
Ye Jibai looked around and turned to look at Lin Weiwan who was standing at the door.
"Look and see if you have lost anything."
Ye Jibai was quite surprised to see Lin Weiwan in a stable mood. Most people would accept this kind of situation, especially when all kinds of supplies were in short supply.
At a glance, the value of the damaged items in Lin Weiwan's house was over a hundred.
He didn't even know what was lost, so he turned around and looked at Shen Minghua.
"Go get some people to call the village chief. We want to catch the thief."
As he spoke, he gently picked up two pieces of clothing on the ground and put them aside. On them were two identical footprints.
Although there are only a few blurry marks on each, the two and a half footprints are particularly clear.
After a while, more than two dozen people gathered at the door of Lin Weiwan's room.
The village chief was standing there. Fortunately, he was accompanied by the captain this time. He looked much calmer and his face was not as gloomy as before.
"Village chief, when we came back we found that the lock had been pried open, and the house was in this state." Lin Weiwan said, pointing inside the house.
"Did you lose anything?" The village chief looked into the house. Everything was normal except the clothes which needed to be newer.
"I can't tell what's going on, but a lot of the clothes and pants are torn up, and it looks like they have a lot of ill will towards me."
Lin Weiwan thought about who he had offended recently, and there were few people who had a grudge against him, but he did something so excessive...
Did that person come in just to cut things up? Lin Weiwan was a little unconvinced.
Only a fool would do such a thing so blatantly. If it is found out that the farm transformation was a scam,
The matter of cutting something up was a minor matter, but the charge of maliciously targeting educated youth and orphans of martyrs was enough to make her drink a pot of wine.
