On the day of slaughtering the pig, Su Xia got up early, boiled water in the two large pots in the kitchen, and washed all the remaining large and small basins.
Then I started to make breakfast. I steamed a pot of rice buns, cooked rice grits porridge, boiled ten salted eggs, and prepared some pickles.
While Su Xia was doing it, Chen's mother came over.
"Old man, does the first shop need help?"
"No more. When will Dad and the others arrive?"
Mother Chen glanced at the kitchen. Su Xia had prepared everything and there was nothing left for her to do.
"Your father has gone to call her. He will be here soon."
Su Xia nodded, and her breakfast was just in time.
"Mom, just help me look after Dabao for a while, and I'll take care of the rest."
Upon hearing this, Chen's mother went to the bedroom to see if Dabao had woken up.
When breakfast was almost ready, Chen Xiao came in with two men. One looked a lot like Zhao Laoer, and the other younger one should be his son.
"Dad, breakfast is ready. You guys eat first, and then we can rush after you finish eating."
After hearing this, Chen didn't hesitate to help Sha Zhu, saying that it was a courtesy to eat at home.
Then he washed his hands alone and sat at the dining table. At this time, Su Xia had already brought up the steamed buns and porridge.
She ran to the old house again and called Chen Jiandang and Chen Jianjun to come and eat together, as she would need help later.
This was the first time that Mr. Zhao and his eldest son, Zhao Genzhu, came to Su Xia's house.
The two of them looked at the layout and furnishings of the room with curiosity, and they had to admit that Jianguo's wife was a real spendthrift.
Just seeing breakfast, the two of them immediately changed their views.
She really knows how to live, and she can give them such a sumptuous meal.
Seeing that the two children were still sitting there, Chen served them some porridge and some steamed buns.
"Old man, nephew, please eat. We will kill the pig soon. How can you have the energy if you don't eat?"
Zhao Genzhu swallowed his saliva. His family had everything on the table, but none of them looked as good as this?
"Uncle, does Jianguo's wife eat these every day?"
Chen took a bite of the steamed bun. It was all rice and flour. What happened? Wasn’t there any at home?
Mr. Zhao picked up the steamed bun and started eating it. It was soft and fluffy, and much more delicious than the ones his wife made.
"Old Chen, your eldest daughter-in-law is really good at cooking?"
Chen 꿵 smiled proudly.
“She just stays at home, enjoys researching, and naturally makes delicious food.
The rice and flour need to be ground several times, and the eggs are laid by the chickens raised at home.”
The two nodded. They had heard from their wife that Su Xia's family raised a lot of chickens. They were originally going to kill them, but many families in the village ordered the chicks, so they kept them.
The village chief's wife helped with the statistics by going door to door.
I remember when I came in, there was a big goose at the door, calling "goose, goose". When it saw them, it pounced on them and wanted to bite them, but it was locked in the nest and didn't succeed.
They just went to see that all the pigs in the pigpen in the backyard were fat and strong.
Mr. Zhao looked at it with envy, "Old Chen, the one who built the country knows how to live, this pig is a lot, right?"
Zhao Genzhu followed with envy. His family hadn't raised any this year, but he would surely be able to catch one next year. He wanted to ask how they did it, but was just too embarrassed to do so.
Chen Xiaoxiao followed and said that his family's daily life was already top-notch in the village, and this time the eldest daughter-in-law was even more proud.
Chen Jiandang and Chen Jianjun started shouting at each other, and the grown men were eating and drinking porridge with big mouthfuls. In their eyes, even pickled vegetables were more delicious than those at home.
Su Xia brought the porridge, steamed buns and side dishes to the bedroom, and ate at the kang table with Chen's mother and the two children.
"Mom, are we going to kill a pig? Can we eat meat then?"
Dabao, who was drinking porridge, heard it and immediately shouted loudly: "Rou Rou...
Mom, I don’t eat meat!”
Mother Chen smiled and comforted: "Okay, I'll give you meat when the time comes."
Su Xia looked at the two cubs helplessly.
"We have plenty of meat at home, why do you two seem to have never eaten it?"
The two children, relying on their grandmother's support, ignored everything and kept shouting, "Eat meat, eat meat!"
Su Xia....
I really want to roar!
While waiting for the few people in the backyard to tie up the second largest pig from the pigpen.
The whole yard was filled with the screams of pigs.
Even the old house and the neighbors downstairs heard it.
When the villagers heard it, they all guessed that someone might be slaughtering a pig.
The group had nothing to do anyway, and they hadn't eaten pork for almost a year.
Everyone was greedy and their throats moved in the direction of the pig's cries.
A group of people, as if they had made an appointment, came out of their homes and walked towards Su Xia's house.
Mother Chen had already taken Dabao to the old house.
Niu Niu was quite brave. She and her sisters Daya would run over to watch the pig being slaughtered, and then run over to report to Su Xia at which step they were hungry.
Su Xia was in the kitchen, boiling water. At this time, her sister-in-law came.
Su Xia was scared when she saw their big bellies. What if they got bumped into something?
"Second sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, you two just help light the fire in the kitchen, I'll take care of the rest!"
The two knew that their bodies were heavy and would not move forward.
Xia Lai Di was curious and looked out the back door. She saw that it took four people to lift the pig. She never expected that her sister-in-law could raise the pig to such a big size.
"Sister-in-law, this pig is so big, how do you feed it?"
Even Liu Chunxia was curious, the old house was much smaller than this one.
"They only had one meal a day, rotten vegetables, potatoes, sweet potatoes, some rice scraps, pig food, and everything they could feed."
Su Xia briefly talked about it, and didn’t say anything about the bean dregs, as she wanted to keep using them in the future.
The two listened, excited, and immediately quieted down.
They had to be frugal with their food to make it through to the autumn harvest, not to mention feeding the pigs. They were not like the eldest sister-in-law, who had no shortage of food.
Chen several people, using a lot of strength, finally controlled the pig, but Mr. Zhao was quick and sent the pig away immediately.
The few people nearby finally relaxed and stood aside slowly.
"Old Chen, did Jianguo's wife tell us what to do with the pork? She can't possibly keep all of it, right?"
It was the first time for Mr. Zhao to see such a fat pig. Based on his experience, this pig must have a lot of fat, and he just estimated that it weighed more than 300 kilograms.
At this time, all the villagers came over. They came in directly through the gate. When they heard the noise in the backyard, they went straight to the backyard.
But every time someone comes in, they will be scolded by the big goose.
The villagers looked at it in surprise when they saw that the pig was dead.
"Old Chen, did Jianguo's wife say she was selling it? Can I buy some?"
Villager: "Yes, Old Man Chen, this is too big to finish, just ask Jianguo's wife and give her some!"
"Yes, Uncle Chen, I only need one pound of it to satisfy the child's craving.
Uncle Chen, why don’t you ask him? My dad is craving for meat...”
Chen Xiao was confused when he saw a group of people coming in. They surrounded him and asked him questions, so he didn't have a chance to speak.
Some aunties, women, and young wives were too embarrassed to ask Chen 꿵 about the pigs after seeing them.
Zhiji ran to the old house to find Chen's mother.
Mother Chen saw a group of people coming in and was angry with them for scaring her grandson.
I was asked by many people if I could buy pork.
Mother Chen was forced to hold the child and run to find Su Xia.
Su Xia, who was in the kitchen, found that there were more people at home, but she didn't go out, thinking that they were just curious to see the pig being slaughtered.
Xia Lai Di and Liu Chun Xia watched for a long time and guessed what happened, but they didn't dare to ask Su Xia. They were too embarrassed to think about what happened before.
However, Chen Jianjun still ran over and had a brief talk with Su Xia.
Su Xia looked at him curiously, "Are they all here to buy meat?"
Chen Jiandang nodded: "Sister-in-law, Dad asked me to come over and ask you what you mean."
Su Xiaxiao was not sure. Selling meat openly in the village, what if she was accused of...
At this time, Chen's mother came over with Dabao 廩 in her arms, and 廩 told Su Xia about it.
Su Xia looked at the group of girls from the village who suddenly appeared in her home, and looked at their hopeful eyes.
she.....
I don't know if it's suitable?
