1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Didn't you say you were going to deal with the pig head? Why haven't you taken action yet?"

After chatting for a while, Li Yinglin asked in a slightly puzzled manner.

"Him? He must be waiting for Doudou." Han Xiuying glanced at Chen Tiezhu.

"Well, I have to take Doudou to play for a while, otherwise there is nothing to do in the countryside." Chen Tiezhu said happily.

"Then I'll tell you about it." Director Hu said.

"Last time, under your leadership, all the Thirteen Taibao and others were arrested. For Xiao Jiang and Xiao Li, this is a great achievement, and it is a credit they picked up for nothing."

"But I won't give you any compensation. You have gained a lot of benefits, so let's do it. Do you agree?"

"Hahaha, I agree too much." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"For me, what's the use of those empty words? The real benefits are the real ones. Anyway, I'm just telling the truth, you can't say that my awareness is not high enough."

Director Hu was also happy, "You kid always speaks and does things in a rut, but it's quite to my taste."

Just as he was talking, Doudou also led He Jianguo back again.

Chen Tiezhu didn't have to worry about the introduction. The next task was to take Doudou to clean the pig's head.

It looks like a simple thing, but it's really not easy to do.

This is for our own consumption, so it must be cleaned up.

Chen Tiezhu took Doudou to carefully apply the dissolved rosin to the pig's head. Whether it was the ears or nostrils, apply it to all the places that can be applied.

After the rosin cooled down, carefully pulled it off, and all the remaining pig hairs were pulled out.

After a careful inspection, Chen Tiezhu nodded with satisfaction, and it was done.

"Do we still need to split it?" Han Xiuying asked.

"No need for that, add more water and let's simmer it." Chen Tiezhu said.

"The first boiled water can't be used, we still need to remove the taste. Replace it with the second pot of water, and then you can add spices. If you like it with color, I'll fry some sugar color."

"Well..., then fry it, it will look better. Tell me, why can Director Hu agree to your unreasonable request?" Han Xiuying said.

"My work here is very important. Tomorrow is the big market in our town. It's not comfortable for you to stay here wearing this. Go back to the town to buy some." Chen Tiezhu said casually.

Han Xiuying was a little depressed. It seemed that she didn't have the right to speak?

"Tiezhu, you are really amazing. Director Hu, such a big leader, came to your house as a guest." He Jianguo, who was helping Chen Tiezhu, said in a low voice.

"He is a good leader who really cares about his comrades. If I get a chance in the future, I will introduce him to Brother Chengmin. After all, we are all one family." Chen Tiezhu said.

"That's for sure." He Jianguo was delighted. Tiezhu was really a good comrade.

At this time, the first pot of water had been boiling for a while. Chen Tiezhu took out the pig's head and changed the water in the pot.

After frying the sugar color, add water to the pot, and then put the whole pig's head in. Find the seasoning, wrap it with gauze, and throw it into the pot. That's it.

Don't worry about it, just put the firewood on it and it's done.

After chatting for a while, when the lid of the pot was opened again, the color of the pig's head was very beautiful.

"What flavor do you like? Is it hot like this, or pressed and firm?" Chen Tiezhu asked with a smile.

"I like everything. Just looking at the color of this pig's head, it tastes good." Director Hu said with a smile.

"In that case, let's do two things. I'll cut off the meat from the pig's head. Soak half of it in the soup to make it taste good, and press the remaining half."

Chen Tiezhu said casually, and then picked up the kitchen knife.

"Tiezhu, you're just using a kitchen knife? Don't cut the rotten meat." Director Hu said with some concern.

"Don't worry, there won't be any waste." Chen Tiezhu replied with a smile.

He was also very moved.

Director Hu is such a big leader, but he is still worried about the waste. If it were in the future, would it be like this?

Forget it, I still don't want to think about it. This pig's head must be cut clearly.

The pig's head nowadays is not as big as in the future. Chen Tiezhu carefully trimmed the pig's head, then held the kitchen knife and turned it at the base of the ear, and the pig's ear was removed.

Director Hu looked at it with some surprise. This move was played beautifully, without any drag.

At this time, Chen Tiezhu grabbed the pig's chin with his right hand and shook it gently. Then he picked up the kitchen knife and cut along the pig's mouth, and the pig's chin and tongue were cut off.

"No, just shake it like this and the hook is taken off?" Director Hu asked in surprise.

"Leader, Teacher Chen's bone-setting skills are first-class."Fang Zhiyong said proudly.

"Amazing, it's really amazing." Director Hu nodded.

"It's nothing, it's all boiled and mushy, easy to remove." Chen Tiezhu said casually.

After picking the pig tongue, he took the kitchen knife and started working on the pig's head.

The kitchen knife looked clumsy, but it was very skillful in his hands. In a short while, the whole pig's head was shaved clean, meat was meat, bones were bones.

The group of people watching the fun, even Erye and He Jianguo, were a little dumbfounded.

It seemed that he didn't see how he did it, he just poked the kitchen knife a few times, and the pig's face was peeled off.

How did you finish it?

"Good guy, I've only heard of the butcher cutting the cow, but you're really good at cleaning this pig's head." Director Hu said with emotion.

"When others pick one pig head, you probably have to pick two. You can also cut the plate and serve it. You are very good at this job."

"It is mainly because the heat of the pig head is well controlled. It is just off the bone, so it is very convenient to pick it." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile, and picked up a piece of eye socket meat and handed it to Doudou.

Doudou accepted it and opened his mouth wide to take a bite.

The soft, sticky and fragrant eye socket meat made the little guy's eyes sparkle.

Chen Tiezhu picked up another piece and handed it to Han Xiuying.

Han Xiuying was a little embarrassed. She took it with a red face and took a small bite.

It tasted really good, and there was no messy taste. Only soft, rotten and salty fragrance remained.

"I'll have to get myself a set of good knives later. You need the right tools for your job. Now I only have kitchen knives and butcher knives, which are a little inconvenient to use." Chen Tiezhu continued.

"It's actually very simple. Just feel the force of the blade and follow the force. Brother Li, you've been looking at the bones for a long time. What are you looking at?"

Li Yinglin glanced at him and brought the pig skull to Director Hu. "There's not a single knife mark on it. It was cut very neatly."

If everyone thought that he had the skill of butchering a cow was a bit of a compliment just now, now that they saw the pig bones clearly, they were really convinced.

That's using a kitchen knife, and it can be cut so perfectly. Anyway, they have never heard of it.

"Leader, is there anything else you came here for this time?" Chen Tiezhu asked with a smile.

Director Hu's face changed and he looked at Li Yinglin.

"Leader, I didn't say anything." Li Yinglin said hurriedly.

His words confirmed Chen Tiezhu's guess.

But it made Han Xiuying very curious. What could Director Hu want from this guy?
