Chapter 311: Killing the New Year Pig (Page 1/2)
Lin Man was busy in the space while waiting for the test results. Huo Qingci knew that she was busy, so he simply took his grandfather and two children into his own space.
He put the two children on an empty patch of grass and let them play by themselves. He asked their grandfather to help watch them while he went to boil a large pot of hot water.
Then he went to the pigpen, took some datura pollen to knock out a pig at random, dragged it onto a wooden ladder, propped up the ladder with a stool, and started slaughtering the pig next to the pigpen.
Huo Li walked over and asked with concern, "Qingci, do you need help? How did you get a 200-pound pig onto the wooden ladder? What happened to the pig? Why did it suddenly fall to the ground? Could it be sick?"
"Grandpa, this pig isn't sick at all, and there's no one to help carry it, so I can only sprinkle some sleeping pills on it, wait for it to fall down, and then drag it to the ladder and tie it up.
After tying up the pig, we found a way to put the bench under the ladder, and then started bleeding and killing the pig.
Huo Li asked again: "It has been drugged. Can the blood it releases be eaten?"
"Grandpa, I just sprinkled some drugs into its nose, and the drugs didn't enter its bloodstream at all.
Grandpa, I'm going to kill a pig now. You take An'an and Ningning to pick some fruit! Killing a pig is too bloody and we can't let the children see it. "
Huo Li also knew that killing a pig was bloody, so he ran over without calling his great-grandson over.
"Qingci, if you have firecrackers in this space, first set off a string of firecrackers to dispel the evil spirits, and then worship the gods..."
"No need for that. I used to kill pigs directly."
Huo Qingci didn't expect that since his grandfather knew that he had a space, he became more and more timid and superstitious.
If outsiders found out about this, they would definitely say that he had a problem with his thinking.
Huo Qingci is a person who listens to advice naturally. In order to make his grandfather happy, he does whatever his grandfather says.
He slaughtered pigs just like the butcher did. If he needed to burn paper to worship the gods, he would do so. If he needed to set off firecrackers, he would set off firecrackers.
Fortunately, his wife gave him space and prepared a lot of supplies, so he had nothing to lack for the time being.
He was skilled in surgery, and his bony hands were used to perform surgery on patients, but now he had to work as a butcher.
Otherwise, he couldn't possibly send the pigs to the slaughterhouse and let them be killed!
If he were in the countryside, he could ask a butcher to come to his house to slaughter the pigs. But who should he ask for help in this space?
Huo Qingci stabbed the pig's neck with a knife, and the pig's blood gushed out and flowed into the wooden basin next to the stool.
Huo Qingci was slaughtering a pig, while Huo Li took his two great-grandchildren to the orchard with a basket to pick fruit.
Passing by the tangerine tree and seeing the golden tangerines on the branches, Huo Yining muttered directly:
"Eat, eat, An An, eat oranges."
Huo Li had never seen a sugar orange before. He didn't understand why the oranges on this orange tree were so small. Was there no fertilizer?
He reached out and picked two, one for Huo Yining and one for Huo Yian, peeled them and put them in their hands.
Huo Yian ate the tangerine petals one by one, while the fat boy Huo Yining stuffed the whole tangerine into his mouth.
"Grandpa, this orange is so sweet! Sweeter than sugar."
Huo Li was a little unconvinced. Could this malnourished orange really be so sweet? Could it be because it had been hanging on the tree for too long?
He picked one, peeled it and tasted it himself. He really fell in love with it as soon as he tasted it. How could there be such delicious little oranges?
"Well, this orange is really sweet. An'an, Ningning, do you want more?"
"Yes, An An wants it." Huo Yian raised his little hand and shouted.
Huo Yining didn't say anything, but ran directly to the orange tree and started picking tangerines by himself, eating them as he picked.
Huo Li peeled two more tangerines for Huo Yian. After peeling them, he counted them again. There were a total of eight such small tangerine trees. The other fruit trees had two or three trees each, but there were eight such small tangerine trees. It seemed that the original owner of the space also liked to eat these small tangerines.
Huo Li took his two children to the orchard, picking and eating tangerines. Soon they had picked half a basket of tangerines.

Then, he took the children to the pomelo tree and picked two heavy pomeloes. Looking at the fruitful harvest, Huo Li returned to the cabin with the children, feeling satisfied.
Meanwhile, Huo Qingci was also busy. He skillfully picked up the scraper and quickly and accurately scraped the hair off the pig.
Then, without hesitation, he cut open the pig's belly and took out the internal organs. The whole process was smooth and fluid.
Finally, he used all his skills to cut the whole pig into 18 pieces, separating the meat and bones, showing his superb skills.
Looking at the chopped meat in the basket, Huo Qingci chuckled. If he lost his job one day, he could still become a butcher.
After two hours of hard work, Huo Qingci finally finished cleaning up. He put the tools back into the tool shed and carried the cut pork back to the cabin.
Huo Li looked at the basket full of meat with a satisfied smile on his face, "Qingci, where are the pig blood and offal?" He said as he looked around.
"Grandpa, the pig's blood is in the wooden basin, and the pig's internal organs are in the bucket. Grandpa, we're having a pig-killing dinner tonight."
Huo Qingci replied with a hint of excitement in his voice. He knew that for his grandfather, the pig-killing meal was a rare delicacy.
Hearing this, Huo Li nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of anticipation, "Okay, okay, I haven't had a pig-killing meal for a long time. I'll have half an extra bowl of rice tonight."
At this moment, Huo Qingci noticed that the two children's overalls had turned golden and were stained with water. He couldn't help but frown, "How many tangerines have you two eaten?"
Huo Li asked in surprise, "Is that little orange a granulated sugar orange? It's a good name; it's as sweet as sugar."
These oranges are delicious. Not to mention the children, I ate more than ten just now."
As he spoke, he licked his lips, as if he was still savoring the sweet taste.
Huo Qingci shook his head helplessly and reminded him, "Grandpa, eating too many oranges will cause internal heat and phlegm. You should eat less."
He was well aware of the old man's physical condition and worried that eating too much would have adverse effects on his health, after all, his grandfather was old.
"Got it. I won't eat today. Qingci, what is Xiaoman doing? Why don't you bring her to the space? If you want to eat the pig-killing dish, why not just eat it in the space?"
"Grandpa, I'm going to take her into the space now. Please keep an eye on them and don't let them eat sugar oranges anymore. If they eat too much, their skin will turn yellow easily."
Huo Li glared at Huo Qingci with some displeasure. "You're not saying that oranges are yellow, so if you eat too many, your skin will turn yellow, right?"
Huo Qingci nodded, "Grandpa, that's true. If you eat too many pineapples and oranges and your body doesn't metabolize them completely, your skin will become increasingly yellow. So don't overeat anything, even if it tastes delicious. You have to control your intake."
Huo Yining said, "Dad, my skin is very fair. I'm a boy, so it doesn't matter if I'm a little darker or a little yellower. Can I have a few more tangerines?"
Huo Yian followed up with a mumble: "Little Juju, An An eat little Juju."
Huo Qingci could never have imagined that his grandfather and son loved eating tangerines so much.
In order to prevent them from continuing to show off their tangerines without restraint, he simply went to the warehouse and took out a durian, cut it open on the spot and asked them to taste it.
Unexpectedly, Huo Yining hugged Huo Yian and shouted in fear: "Brother, Dad wants us to eat poop! Run!"
Huo Yian was completely bewildered, completely confused about the situation. But when he heard about eating poop, he immediately burst into tears, "Daddy is bad, An An doesn't want to eat poop!"
Huo Li couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Qingci, these two kids don't like eating something called durian."
Huo Qingci explained helplessly, "Grandpa, I heard that durian is very nutritious. One durian is equivalent to ten black-bone chickens. Eating some occasionally is good for your health. Besides, if you eat it, you won't feel cold hands and feet all winter long."
"Okay, don't force them. It's not like they eat tangerines every day. Go get Xiao Man and let us make dinner early."
"Okay Grandpa, I'll pick her up now."
