Chapter 146 Feed Me
The entire pig-slaughtering scene was filled with a lively atmosphere.
This was the first time Tang Wan saw such a scene.
Although it was winter, the men were only wearing thin undershirts. Farmers work in the fields all year round. Although their muscles did not look well-developed, they were all lean and you could tell they were strong right away.
Even so, it would take at least six people to hold down such a large pig while the butcher drained its blood.
The butchers were used to this job, and when they arrived, the first pig was being bled.
The blood that was released was also a good thing. After the pig was pinned down, it was tied with a rope and the blood was put into a bucket.
After finishing one here, I start working on the second one over there.
It was only at this moment that Tang Wan understood why the villagers liked to watch such scenes.
When the first pig was killed, its screams had frightened the remaining two pigs.
Now when people went in to pull the second pig out, it became even more difficult.
Dongzi and Qin Zheng tied up the first pig.
The remaining few people had already pulled out the second pig.
But unexpectedly, as soon as the second pig was pulled into the middle, it suddenly rushed forward with an unknown strength.
Luo Ying's brother was still holding the pig's tail, and the others couldn't even touch the pig's body, so they hurriedly chased after it.
Luo Ying's brother didn't dare to let go, and stumbled forward as the pig dragged him, holding the pig's tail.
There were people standing all around, so the pig didn't dare to go in. It just circled in the middle of the field, looking quite funny.
Of course, the others would not just stand by and watch. With traffic jams in front and people chasing from behind, the scene was not lively at all.
The people around were not afraid of this situation and laughed.
Some children sat on their grandfather's shoulders and watched, clapping their hands with joy.
It seems that slaughtering pigs brings the villagers not only the joy of eating meat, but also the fun of watching the whole village together.
This kind of lively gathering of men, women, young and old has a unique charm, like sunshine shining on the heart.
Some people urged the villagers to quickly demonstrate their fighting power, as they should not make such a fool of themselves just because of a pig.
The noisy atmosphere lasted until noon.
At noon, the three pigs were completely bled.
The next step is more complicated.
The pigs must be cut up first, then weighed, and then the amount of meat each family can get is determined based on their work points.
This has always been a difficult job, because the amount of fat on a pig is limited, and there will always be people who share the lean meat.
Lean meat is not popular at this time. Any more or less will cause some trouble. The villagers think this matter is relatively fair, so they will make some rough divisions before distributing the meat to ensure relative fairness.
This approach is also more accepted by the villagers. Generally, as long as it is not too excessive, no one will bother it.
It wasn't very exciting to watch after the pigs were killed, but the main event was about to begin, and no one wanted to leave.
Basically, when you come to watch the pig being slaughtered in the morning, every family has already brought a basin or bucket, so you don’t have to go back to wait for the meat to be divided.
Grandma Bai gave the bucket to Qin Zheng and Dongzi, and took Tang Wan and Luo Ying back home.
It's just about distributing the meat, there's no need for everyone to sit there and wait.
Grandma Bai specifically told Qin Zheng that Tang Wan liked to eat lean meat, so he could ask for more lean meat when the time came, and she would definitely agree.
