Chapter 177 Killing Pigs
After taking a shower, Lu Xiaoxiao sat on the kang in the main room and wiped her hair. She thought that her second sister and her father would probably come to the house to slaughter the pig in a while, so she should hurry up and eat lunch. She had been doing physical work since morning and was already very hungry.
Lu Xiaoxiao took out a bowl of braised pork rice and a cup of milk tea, which she had always liked, from the space and started to devour them.
Twenty minutes later, Lu Xiaoxiao looked at the empty plate in front of her and put down the spoon. She touched her stomach and sighed: The feeling after eating and drinking is so wonderful.
After Lu Xiaoxiao took the dishes into the kitchen and washed them, she thought that she would need hot water to slaughter the pig. Last year, she saw the team use hot water to slaughter the New Year pig, so she used the earthen stove to boil a large pot of hot water.
Seeing that her second sister and the others had not arrived yet, Lu Xiaoxiao planned to go to the yard to pick out the chestnuts she had picked today. However, before she could pour out the chestnuts, she heard someone knocking on the door in the yard. It seemed that she could not pick the chestnuts now.
Lu Xiaoxiao opened the gate and saw her second sister and her father standing at the gate, so she said, "Uncle Pingjiang, second sister, you are here, come in and have a drink of water."
"Xiaoxiao, no need. We are not thirsty. We should hurry up and kill the pig. Otherwise, it will be a pity if it stinks like you said."
"Uncle Pingjiang, I'll trouble you next. I've already boiled the hot water."
"It's not a big deal. It's just some hard work. Compared to your care for our family, this is nothing. If you need hard work in the future, just come to me. Your uncle Pingjiang may not be smart, but he has a lot of strength."
"I will definitely not be polite to Uncle Pingjiang, but what is Uncle Pingjiang going to do first after killing the pig?"
"Do you have a big wooden barrel or basin at home? You need to scald the pig with hot water before slaughtering it so that the hair on the pig can be scraped off."
Lu Xiaoxiao thought of the bathtub and wooden basin she bought from her third uncle's house when she bought furniture. It seemed that they had been placed in the house without any chance to be used, so she said, "Uncle Pingjiang, I have a bathtub and a wooden basin in the main room. Come with me and see which one is suitable and use it."
When Liu Pingjiang came to the main room, he saw the bathtub and wooden basin in the corner. He thought about the size of the wild boar in the yard, so he said, "The wild boar in the yard is relatively small, so this wooden basin will be enough."
Lu Xiaoxiao watched as Uncle Pingjiang skillfully placed the wild boar in a wooden basin, scalded it with hot water, and then began to scrape the boar's hair with a knife.
Half an hour later, all the hair on the wild boar was shaved off, and then Uncle Pingjiang cut open the wild boar's belly with a knife. Then he cut out the heart, liver, lungs, stomach and intestines and put them into a basin.
"Xiaoxiao, the wild boar has been killed. Just tell me how you want to cut it. I'll help you cut it so it will be convenient for you to eat it later."
"Uncle Pingjiang, this wild boar was discovered by my second sister and the others, so each family should share half. First, split the wild boar in half and I'll tell you how to cut it."
After hearing this, the second sister immediately said, "Xiaoxiao, we can't take this wild boar meat. You were the first one to find the wild boar today, and you were the one who killed it. Moreover, you saved me, the second sister, and the third sister. How can we take your wild boar meat?"
"Second sister, you can't say that. Although I killed the wild boar, you, second sister, and third sister also helped me make the raft and carry the chestnuts back home. Without your help, I would not have been able to bring the wild boar home."
