"Fenghuang! Mommy is here," when I went to the room, I saw that the child had already gotten up. She slipped down from the kang by herself and was putting on her shoes, with tears on her face.
When she saw Liang Qi, she immediately ran over, hugged Liang Qi's legs, and kept calling her mother.
He whispered, "Mom, don't leave me."
Liang Qi felt distressed when she saw the child. The child was also a little old. "Mom is always here. We agreed that Mom will take you wherever she goes. Don't cry, it makes Mom feel distressed. Mom's hands are dirty now. I can't hold you."
Then she continued, "Come on, have some pancakes. Mom has heated them up for you. They're in the steamer on the chopping board."
Liang Qi took the child to the kitchen, and the child followed closely. Seeing the child eating the pancakes, Liang Qi felt relieved and focused on his own work.
"Mom, what are you busy with? Let me help you." The child held the biscuit in his hand and put it into his mouth to eat.
Liang Qi poured a bowl of boiled water for the child to drink, which was just enough to warm him up. The child asked while eating the biscuits with the boiled water in the bowl.
"Mom, I'll cook meat for you today, okay?" Liang Qi said to her daughter with a smile.
"But we don't have any meat at home!" he said seriously, still tilting his head.
"We have one at home. Mom found it this morning."
"Wow, really? There's meat to eat." The child shouted excitedly.
"Shh!" Liang Qi quickly called out to the child.
Then he said, "We can't let others find out. This is a secret between us mother and daughter."
"Oh, um," the child covered his mouth and his eyes became crescent shapes with smile.
"Okay, you eat, mom will go and get busy first." Liang Qi instructed her daughter.
"Mom, I'm done eating. I want to go and see too." The child wiped his mouth directly after eating.
"Oh, my dear, why are you so bold?" Liang Qi couldn't bear to look at his daughter's careless look.
"Mom, I'll be more careful next time and try to use a handkerchief."
"Okay, let's go."
Liang Qi brought the children with him. The pig hair was plucked, but the hair on the pig's head was hard to pluck.
"Wow, Mom, there's so much meat!" He was still circling around the pig.
"Yes, this meat is enough for us to eat for a year," Liang Qi felt happier the more he looked at it.
Liang Qi tried the water in the bucket and found it was a little cold, so he needed to boil it. He picked up the water, poured it into the pot, added firewood and started to boil water.
I tested the water in the pot and it was ok, no need to boil it, but it couldn't be lukewarm either.
She scooped a bucket and carried it out: "Come on, Phoenix, help mom scoop water, I'll wash the pig for us."
"Okay, I'll get the ladle." Phoenix followed behind, skipping and jumping with a ladle in his hand.
"Mom will take down the door panel later," Liang Qi whispered.
"Hehe, I want to help mommy take it off too." As he said this, he rubbed his little hands together, looking like he couldn't wait any longer.
Liang Qi finally realized that her daughter could no longer be a lady.
"Ahem, no need. Just be a quiet little beauty."
"Mom, is the quiet little beauty stupid? Can she eat?" She said with big round eyes.
"My silly girl, you can't eat. Let's go, get the water first, and then we'll go and remove the door."
Liang Qi put down the water, went over to remove the kitchen door panel, took it to the cave and spread it on the ground, and rinsed it again.
After putting it in place, Liang Qi prepared to pull the pig up and gestured.
"Mom, let me help you push the pig up." The child said as his little hand was about to touch it.
"Wait, flatten your sleeves," Liang Qi said anxiously. It's dirty and needs to be washed. It's just one sleeve that's dirty, but you have to wash the whole thing. The more times you wash it, the easier it will become.
"I know, Mom." Then he started to beat her up.
Liang Qi dragged the pig by its front legs and pulled it out, directly onto the door panel.
"Baby, scoop some water for mommy, but give me a little less." Liang Qi looked at the child's enthusiasm.
"Okay,"
Liang Qi scraped the pig's body with the back of a knife, and after a while, a clean white pig came out.
The mother and daughter worked together and recovered quickly.
Liang Qi brought another bucket of water and rinsed it by himself. The second rinse was almost finished.
The blood stains on the door have also been washed clean, and now it needs to be hung up to dissect the various parts of the pig.
Liang Qi lowered the rack, cut a notch on each of the pig's hind legs, and tied the rope around the pig's hind legs.
"Phoenix, stand away. If you don't let this thing come down, it will hit someone," Liang Qi was a little worried about whether she could lift this thing by herself.
"Oh, Mom, I'll help you hold the rack."
"No need, Mom can do it by herself, you just need to stand farther away." Liang Qi picked up one end and pushed the rack little by little to slowly retract the legs of the rack.
After running back and forth, they finally set it up.
"Mom, wipe the sweat off my face." The child went back to get a towel without knowing when.
"Okay, thank you, my daughter." Liang Qi wiped it with a towel and casually put it around his neck.
"Mom, we have so much meat at home." The child squatted in front of her, holding his face and looking at her.
"Yes, wait until mommy unloads the meat for us."
"Uh-huh,"
Liang Qi spent the entire morning unloading meat and sorting out the internal organs, and was so busy that he forgot to make lunch.
The child didn't complain of being hungry. If he was hungry, he would just run over to eat a few bites of bread.
It was not until the afternoon that the sun was still low in the sky and the air was getting warmer. It should have been around two in the afternoon.
No one was out and about at the moment. Some went to the fields to pick potatoes to see if there were any that had not been buried.
Liang Qi forgot to move the meat that had been unloaded and placed on the door panel to the kitchen.
It was all moved in a short while, leaving only some heart, liver, lungs, large and small intestines.
Liang Qi did not let these go and put them all in the basin.
There was half a basin of fat torn from the intestines. This pig was really fat and could be used to make a lot of lard.
Looking at the pig's head and four pig's trotters on the door panel, I have to find some time to clean the hair off them.
Wash the blood off the pig's head and put it in a bag, then clean it up properly during the New Year.
I took all the things home and installed the door.
Liang Qi was also a little tired.
The child has been running around all afternoon today. Now he is standing at the chopping board with money, looking at the meat on the chopping board with saliva in his eyes.
There's nothing left outside, time to make dinner.
Liang Qi chopped some pork ribs, cut them into small sections and put them into the pot. He also cut some liver and two pieces of pork belly to cook.
"Mom, I want to eat pig's tail," the child suddenly said as he watched Liang Qi put meat piece by piece into the pot.
"Okay, mom will put it in and cook it for you." Liang Qi picked up the piece of pig's tail and put it into the pot.
Pour water in and start boiling the pot.
After a while, the water in the pot boiled, and Liang Qi put the salt water and peppercorns that had been prepared earlier into it.
Then he added some firewood to the stove and covered the stove.
Looking at the meat on the chopping board, Liang Qi thought about putting these things into the folk recipe or grinding kiln first.
