In the evening, Old Lady Qin stewed a pot of old duck soup, and she stored the other one in the snow pile in the yard to eat on New Year's Eve.
In weather like this, any meat kept inside will not go bad as long as the snow does not melt.
In addition to the old duck soup, she also stewed a pheasant for Ergouzi, adding wild mushrooms to enhance the flavor.
If Han'er is the Qin family's lucky charm, then Ergouzi is the Qin family's great contributor.
Looking at the whole pheasant placed in his bowl, Ergouzi started eating it without any hesitation.
While eating, he did not forget to look at the owner, as if to say that he was treated better than you.
Qin Han simply ignored it. Even food couldn't stop its mouth.
Because she had stewed old duck soup, Old Lady Qin woke up her two sons and asked them to drink some old duck soup to replenish their bodies before going to sleep.
Just as they were eating, Captain Liu came personally with the processed wild boar and wild goat meat.
This time, the Qin family received 40 kilograms of wild boar meat and 20 kilograms of mutton.
This was all agreed upon by the villagers.
Although the Qin family got much more than they did, in their opinion, it was what the Qin family deserved. If it weren't for Ergou from the Qin family, let alone wild boars and wild goats, it would be another matter whether they would be able to come back alive.
After delivering the meat, Captain Liu went back. He didn't sleep during the day and now he could hardly open his eyes. He had to go back quickly to catch up on his sleep and get enough energy to enjoy the pig-killing meal at Lao Qin's house.
It’s not that he is greedy, but the food at Lao Qin’s house is the best he has ever eaten.
Around eight o'clock the next day, just as Grandma Qin finished making breakfast, three villagers came to her door.
They were the only ones in the village who knew how to kill pigs, so Old Lady Qin hastily invited them to have breakfast together.
The three said they came here after having dinner.
So Old Man Qin took them to the pigpen. Old Qin had a lot of pigs, all of which were born by sows and then raised.
In addition to the two pigs I took away from the army last time, there were eight large pigs ready for slaughter and six piglets about one month old in the pigpen.
Because there were so many pigs, Old Lady Qin asked the eldest son to expand the pigpen, otherwise there would be no room for so many pigs.
Seeing so many pigs in Old Qin's family, the villagers were only envious but not jealous. In the end, Old Qin picked the largest boar. After all, he was going to treat the whole village to a meal, and a pig that was too small would not be enough to eat.
Soon, the sound of pigs howling was heard in the pigsty. After several people worked together to catch the boar, they weighed it and found it weighed 385 kilograms, which was heavier than the wild boar they had caught.
I don’t know what the Qin family used to feed the fish, but it is so well fed.
Qin Man and several boys were having breakfast. When they heard the pig's squealing, they knew it was going to be slaughtered soon. So they ate a few bites and then couldn't wait to go to the yard.
At this time, the wild boar had been tied to the wooden board on the bench. The wild boar also knew its fate and was howling heartbreakingly there.
But it was born to be a dish, so its howling did not win the villagers' sympathy, but instead accelerated the countdown of its life.
The villagers were afraid of scaring Lao Qin's children, so they planned to end the battle quickly.
Qin Han had never seen a pig-slaughtering scene before, so he followed his brothers and watched curiously.
As for the girls in the family, they were a little scared. They covered their ears with their hands and dared not listen to the wild boar's cries.
Under the watchful eyes of Lao Qin's family, a villager picked up a butcher knife and stabbed it into the pig's neck. As soon as the knife was stabbed, the pig struggled violently and almost broke free from the restraints.
Fortunately, the villagers were experienced and held it down in time, otherwise they would have seen the pig with a knife on its neck running around.
As more and more blood flowed from the pig's neck, it soon filled half the bucket. The pig's screams became weaker and weaker until it stopped completely.
The pig that was alive just now became a dead pig in the blink of an eye.
After the pig died, they lifted the pig and the wooden board to the ground, and then scalded its hair with boiling water. If they didn't use boiling water, it would be difficult to scrape the hair clean, and the food would be full of hair.
Qin Qiu and others only dared to come out to see after hearing that the pig was dead.
There is strength in numbers, and the pig hair was quickly cleaned up. At this time, many people came to Lao Qin's house one after another.
They all came to watch the pig being slaughtered and to see if there was anything they could do to help.
In front of everyone's eyes, the pig was tied upside down on the ladder so that it could be gutted.
This pig has grown a lot of fat, and only pork like this tastes good.
As soon as the pig was gutted, many villagers came to help deal with the internal organs.
Pig offal like these can be delicious if they are cleaned.
Especially when they can't afford meat, they will buy some cheap pig offal to eat. The pig lungs that city people despise are also the cheapest, but in their eyes they are a rare delicacy.
"Brother Han'er, don't look!" Qin Xue saw the pig's internal organs being pulled off. The scene was so disgusting that she was afraid of scaring Han'er, so she quickly covered his eyes.
However, this was just a small scene for Qin Han. He immediately pried Qin Xue's hands apart and said with a smile that it was okay.
It is true that he has mysophobia, but it is not to such a pathological level.
Not to mention animal organs, he has even seen a lot of human organs. Although they are disgusting, they are not scary enough.
Just as everyone was dealing with the pig, Old Lady Qin came into the kitchen with the blood that had quickly coagulated, preparing to cook the pig-killing meal.
She planned to make a dish of pig blood noodles and pheasant soup, and then use the pig's blood to make a braised dish, and give a little to each table.
Then make a pork stew with vermicelli and put more meat in it. No matter what, I will make sure the villagers have a good meal today.
In the end, she kept four pig's trotters, thirty kilograms of ribs, and more than forty pieces of pork, and used the rest to entertain the villagers.
Lao Qin's family has no shortage of meat, so it's enough to make sure everyone has enough to eat.
Looking at the table full of meat dishes, everyone exclaimed that their families didn’t have such a sumptuous meal on New Year’s Eve.
They knew that the Qin family was generous, but they didn't expect them to be so generous. They used two-thirds of such a big pig to entertain the guests.
I am extremely grateful to the Qin family, and I will definitely repay them when I have the chance in the future.
It was the first time for Qin Han to eat pig blood noodles. He didn’t expect that pig blood could be made into a dish, and it tasted so good. He ate a big bowl of it on the spot, and then he ate a chicken leg, his mouth full of oil.
He found that food tasted better when there were more people around, especially when he saw the villagers with happy smiles on their faces.
It seems that people in this world are easily satisfied. Having delicious food and being able to eat their fill is a very happy thing for them.
The meal lasted for an hour and everyone was well fed.
However, the villagers who had eaten their fill did not just leave, but chose to stay and clean up the mess until Lao Qin's house was restored to its original state. Only then did they move their own tables and chairs and leave.
