By the time Ningxia, Wen Sihe and the others arrived, the corner of the yard was already full of people.
When the mole lady saw two people coming, she smiled and waved at them: "Come on, come on, I've saved a seat for you!"
There were two small stools beside her. Wen Sihe walked to the mole lady with ease, took out a handful of peanuts and melon seeds from her pocket and handed them over: "Thank you, auntie!"
"Look at you, why are you being so polite?"
Usually, the men, young and old, would hold down the pigs and kill them, and they couldn't help at all.
The only thing you can do is to boil the hot water and stay away from trouble.
Otherwise, if the pig breaks free from the person and runs around, it may knock the person away.
The position chosen by the mole lady was very good. It was not in the first row, so even if a pig really rushed over, there would be someone in front to block it.
The location is not too far back, so you can clearly see the pig-slaughtering process.
After a while, a dozen young men came staggering over with wooden sticks on their shoulders and a pig tied underneath.
"Oh my, the pigs that stayed this year look pretty big!"
“That’s right. When we handed in the pigs for the mission some time ago, the people from the commune all praised us for raising such good pigs.
It is said that no one in the surrounding villages can raise pigs to this standard."
"That's right. If the pigs eat well, they will grow taller."
The mole-faced lady lowered her head and explained to Ningxia, "We have a pear orchard. We usually take out the rotten fruits and throw them into the pigpen.
The most important thing is that the bean cakes used for oil extraction are also mixed with corn grits and fed to pigs.”
Ningxia widened her eyes in surprise. She knew about bean cakes used to extract oil.
Normally, these bean cakes are saved to make porridge. Who would be willing to feed them to pigs?
Now it seems that Dahe Village has indeed become prosperous.
The aunt sitting here basically holds a small basket in her arms, which is filled with peanuts and sunflower seeds.
Some were fried at home, and some were exchanged with others. For a moment, the small corner was filled with the sound of cracking melon seeds.
On the other side, Wen Shize and Lu Zhiye were also given a pig each.
In the words of Captain Lu, if he is strong and able to work, then we will assign him a big pig.
When Wen Shize first started, he was still a little unsure and could only lift the wooden stick in front.
But he was too tall. When he stood up straight and placed the stick on his body, the sticks couldn't even reach the shoulders of the people behind him.
This causes the entire weight of the pig to slide backwards.
The people at the back were suffering, and Captain Lu had no choice but to move Lu Zhiye and Wen Shize to the front and back.
As the saying goes, kings do not meet kings, and both of them wanted to compete with each other.
Lu Zhiye raised his eyebrows and said, "Two of us should carry it?"
"Sure!"
The two men were of similar height and size, and they held the sticks accurately, one in front and one behind.
With a single push of his feet, he lifted up the wild boar weighing several hundred kilograms.
The men around him gasped: "My goodness, he is indeed from the army.
Normally, Xiao Ye seems to be quite strong in our opinion.
Comrade Wen is actually on par with him? ? "
A man wearing a hat next to him rolled his eyes at the man who was speaking and said, "Look at what you said. Comrade Wen has been training for years. If he can't even compare to Xiao Ye, how can he still be a soldier?"
"Look at my mouth, that's true!"
After the two of them lifted a pig, the rest of the people were easy to deal with.
The big pig's four legs were tied tightly, but its body was still jumping around.
It's really hard to control it when it's swaying.
The hot water was bubbling over there, and the old pig-slaughtering master in the village signaled a few people to hold down the first pig.
Then he used a whetstone to sharpen the butcher knife until it was shiny, raised his eyebrows, and stabbed it fiercely at the pig's neck.
The white knife went in and the red knife came out, and blood splattered all over the butcher's face.
Another man with nimble hands and feet quickly brought a large basin and placed it on the table.
The bright red blood dripped into the basin and everyone cheered.
Ningxia looked at the aunts who were watching this scene with great interest and felt a little bored for a moment.
Wen Sihe stuffed a handful of pine nuts into her hand and said, "Come and have a taste.
Actually, there is nothing interesting about slaughtering a pig, but everyone likes to join in the fun.
Killing the first pig is a good start, which means that we will have a smooth and peaceful year ahead."
Pig: I will use my life to show your beautiful meaning...
When Wen Shize and Lu Zhiye came in carrying two pigs, cheers kept coming from the crowd.
Listening to the aunts' praise, Ningxia also smiled with her eyes curved.
She looked at her man with interest.
To be honest, if you don’t look closely, you might not be able to recognize someone who is dressed in such tattered clothes.
Captain Lu smiled and said to Wen Shize, "Comrade Wen, do you want to try to hold down the pig?"
Wen Shize did not answer immediately, but turned his head to look at the butcher's knife in the butcher's hand.
Everyone sighed, and someone quickly tried to persuade them, "Comrade Wen, we know you came from the army.
But killing the pig is different from other things. It requires killing with one blow.
If you poke it in the wrong place, the pig will feel so much pain that it will go crazy."
"That's right, Comrade Wen, just hold the pig back and let the butcher kill it!"
Wen Shize glanced at Lu Zhiye, and Lu Zhiye understood what he meant and lay on the pig miserably.
Pin down the big pig that was kicking around.
"Old Liu, just give him the knife. Is killing a pig harder than killing a person?
He knows the acupuncture points of human joints very well. Since Comrade Wen wants to try, let him try!"
Captain Lu also said with a smile: "Then let Comrade Wen try. Anyway, there are so many people in our yard, so we can subdue the pigs."
Wen Shize held the butcher knife in his hand, and a cold light flashed. Combined with his cold expression, people who didn't know him would think he was going to the battlefield.
Ningxia half raised her buttocks and stretched her neck to look over here.
Wen Shize touched the pig carefully. The big pig seemed to sense the danger and began to struggle hard.
Lu Zhiye almost couldn't hold him down by himself, so Lu Yong waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Brother Ye, I'll help you!"
Two people held down the wild boar that was about to go crazy. Wen Shize half-knelt and held down the pig's body. He found the right position and stabbed it with a knife.
The butcher's pupils shrank when he saw this. Other people who slaughtered pigs were amateurs, but he was a real expert.
For this position, he usually has to consider for a long time before he can ensure a fatal blow.
This man seemed to be casually striking out with his knife, but the position of his strike was so accurate? ?
With a shrill roar from the big pig's mouth, red blood flowed down the knife wound.
