Then he started to kill the second pig. When the blood of the two pigs had been drained, the butcher said, "Is the hot water ready? It's ready and can be brought out."
The next step is to scald the skin with boiling water, scrape off the pig's hair, cut open the pig's belly, and process the internal organs, etc.
This was not the first time Yunyan had watched a pig being slaughtered, so she was not afraid at all. She watched with great interest along with the other villagers.
The pork had been cut up, and as in previous years, the pork was sorted by work points. Yunyan's work points were relatively low, so she was at the end of the line.
By the time it was her turn, there was not much good meat left, and she only got half a pound of meat in total.
Yun Yan also paid for two pig's trotters, two pig's kidneys and a pair of large intestines, and cooked the pig-killing dishes in the pot, which would be eaten by the whole village soon.
The villagers would take the pork home first and then return with bowls to serve the pork-killing dishes. Yun Yan knew she wouldn't get much meat, so she brought a bag with her bowls.
Put the meat in the bag, hold the bowl in your hand and wait to eat the pig-killing dish.
After more than ten minutes, the pig-killing dish was ready, and Yunyan hurriedly lined up with the aunts and sisters in the village.
The pig-killing dish in the village is very simple. It is just pig blood, pig lungs, pig liver, pig small intestines, radish and cabbage stewed in a pot. This year's pig-killing dish also has sweet potato vermicelli.
Yun Yan went home with the pig-killing dish and the meat she bought. After returning home, she took out a portion of rice from the space and had lunch with the pig-killing dish.
After lunch, Yunyan took another nap. After waking up, she started to process the meat she bought today.
She spent the entire afternoon making braised pig's trotters with soybeans, stir-fried kidneys and braised pork intestines. She kept the amount for herself to eat in the next two days and put the rest into the space.
After a few days, the team leader saw that the weather had improved, so he asked the workshop to continue making sweet potato vermicelli.
There were not many sweet potatoes left in the brigade, so he went to another brigade and bought 30,000 kilograms.
The workshop was bustling with activity, and Yun Yan was not idle either. She was going to the neighboring Shashi to sell sweet potato vermicelli.
Before she left, an unexpected person came to her and said he wanted to go with her to sell sweet potato vermicelli.
"Yang Qian, are you sure you want to go with me? I'm just trying my luck this time, but I don't guarantee I'll get anything."
"I know, but I still want to go with you. I don't want to stay in the village doing nothing every day."
"Okay then. I'll take you to the captain to get a letter of introduction."
When the team leader heard Yun Yan say that she wanted to take Yang Qian with her to sell sweet potato vermicelli, he was somewhat reluctant.
"Yun Zhiqing, let me remind you that it was you who took her out. If Yang Zhiqing runs away, you will be responsible." said the captain.
"Don't worry, Captain. I absolutely believe in Yang Zhiqing's character."
Hearing Yun Yan say this, Yang Qian felt mixed emotions. She secretly said to herself that she must live up to Yun Yan's trust.
After hearing what Yun Yan said, the captain didn't say anything else.
The next day, Yun Yan and Yang Qian took their luggage and sweet potato vermicelli and went to the county town in a ox cart.
After buying two bus tickets to the neighboring Shashi District in the county town, Yun Yan decided to try her luck in the city to see if she could find a capable sweet potato vermicelli distributor.
After getting in the car, Yang Qian asked, "Yun Yan, do you really trust me that much?"
"I don't believe you won't run away, I believe you won't run away now. Because you have nowhere to go now, staying in the Red Flag Brigade is your best choice." Yun Yan said without hesitation.
"You are so direct in your words. You don't even want to find a reason to lie to me." Yang Qian didn't expect Yun Yan to say that.
"Can't you be more direct? Yang Qian, I'm someone who never wastes time on unworthy people or things. I'm willing to take you with me to promote sweet potato vermicelli. This is the best attitude."
"Yun Yan, I envy you for being able to live so freely."
"Yang Qian, I once read this: The pain of life comes from clinging to it. The difficulty of life comes from letting go. The trouble with people comes from calculating."
“The more you care about something, the more it torments you. Expectation is the root of all pain. When you no longer expect anything, everything goes well.”
"Let go of your expectations and let nature take its course." Yang Qian repeated this sentence after hearing Yun Yan's words.
After a while, Yang Qian seemed to have figured something out and said thank you to Yun Yan with a smile.
From this moment on, she also has to learn to stop having expectations of others and just be herself.
Yun Yan and Yang Qian didn't talk the whole way and didn't notice that the man in the back seat was looking at her.
Red Flag Brigade? Was it the same Red Flag Brigade where Grandpa and Grandma were sent? Shen Ye decided to follow the two female comrades in front of him first, maybe they could really find Grandpa and Grandma.
Ever since his grandparents were reported by his father and sent down to the countryside two years ago, he hadn't heard from them. He finally took two months off and tried to find out where his grandparents were, but he only knew that they had been sent down to a place called the Red Flag Brigade in Southern Province.
I've searched most of the southern province this month, but haven't found any trace of the Red Flag Brigade.
After a four and a half hour drive, the two finally arrived in Shashi, and Shen Ye got off the car with them.
After arriving in Shashi, the two first found a guesthouse, booked a double room, put their luggage away, and rested for a while.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the two went downstairs and asked people nearby about the specific locations of the department store and state-owned hotel in Shashi.
Over the next two days, Yun Yan and Yang Qian repeatedly visited the department store manager and the state-owned restaurant manager, but they couldn't see anyone. Perhaps they were so focused that they didn't notice someone following them.
After being rejected by the department store manager for the fourth time, Yun Yan became discouraged and asked Yang Qian to go back to the guesthouse first, as she wanted to go for a walk alone.
Yunyan decided to go to the department store again tomorrow. If she was rejected again, she would give up her plan to find a distributor in Shashi.
Yun Yan unknowingly walked to a remote path. When she came to her senses, she immediately turned around and returned the same way.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, someone suddenly came up and grabbed her shoulders.
Yun Yan subconsciously grabbed the man's hand and was ready to throw him over her shoulder, but she didn't expect that the man was also a martial artist. Seeing him flip sideways and stand firm, Yun Yan raised her foot without hesitation and prepared to give him a fatal blow.
Shen Ye had originally wanted to take advantage of the fact that no one else was around to ask the woman if she had ever seen her grandparents. As soon as his hand touched her shoulder, she threw him over the shoulder.
Fortunately, I am a martial artist, otherwise I would have been badly hurt.
When Chen Ye saw Yun Yan kicking him, he knew that she had misunderstood him. He dodged her attack and quickly explained to her.
"Comrade, I'm not a bad person and I have no ill intentions. I just want to ask you about two people."
