My village can't be like this

Chapter 137 Another Year of Pig Killing Time
The next day, Zhang An's family prepared to kill the New Year's pig.

Although it is said to be New Year pigs, most of them are actually sold to villagers.

After everyone shared the money yesterday, many people came to Zhang An's house to order meat.

One is because they have money in their hands, so they want to eat something good.

The second is that I don't want to go all the way to the town to buy it. It is much more convenient for Zhang An's family to kill them and buy it directly.

Zhang An made some statistics, and estimated that he would have to kill two native pigs to get enough points, which is not considered his own.

Finally, Zhang An thought about it, killed the native pig and sold it to everyone, and finally slaughtered a wild boar for the New Year.

Before the snow fell a few days ago, someone came to the house to sell pigs.

Local pig Zhang An's family didn't think about selling it at first, but wanted to kill it by themselves.

But in the end, I didn't expect that the wild boar weighing more than 200 kilograms was taken by the pig dealer, and finally sold five wild boars.

Wang Fang received more than 2000 yuan from the pig dealer at one time, which made her happy all day.

Although she was numb to collecting money every day during this time, she usually received a few or tens of dollars.

This time I collected more than 2000, which is definitely different from the usual feeling.

Today there are other people who butcher pigs in the village. In the past, a pig butcher would definitely not be able to escape.

The pig butcher's name was Lin Youde, and this year he took in an apprentice, who was also from the village.

In the past, there was only him in the village, and everyone called him Butcher, and everyone knew who he was.

But it's no longer possible. After Lin Youde has apprentices, there will be two pig butchers in the village.

From now on, everyone will not be able to shout about killing pigs but killing pigs. Who knows who you are calling.

Lin Youde has been taking care of this apprentice for more than half a year, it's time for him to go out and help others butcher pigs.

Because when he was an apprentice, even if Lin Youde asked him to butcher pigs, the money he received in the end was still Lin Youde's.

Apprentices don't get a penny, this is an old rule.

So today Lin Youde came to help Zhang An's family slaughter pigs, while his apprentice went to help other people's families.

In this way, the money his apprentice killed for the pigs he received is his own, and he doesn't have to hand it over to Lin Youde.

Lin Youde didn't ask his apprentice to help Zhang An's family kill.

He is a trumpet who just left Novice Village, so he might not be able to deal with the bosses of Zhang An's family.

When the first pig was killed, Chen Ze and the others arrived.

He had heard from Li Hongbin a few days ago that Zhang An's family was going to kill the New Year's pig today.

They had never seen this battle before, so they called Zhang An last night and told them that they would come over to play today.

Originally, he wanted to come here alone, but Chen Ning found out.

In the end, Chen Ning also came along, and she even called Su Ying along.

When I met Su Ying at school last time, I heard her call Chen Ze Brother Ze.

Zhang An only found out after questioning that Su Ying's older sister was Chen Ze's sister-in-law.

So they are still close relatives.

"Wow, a lot of people."

As soon as Chen Ning entered the yard, she found that the yard was crowded with people.

When they came last time, they had never seen so many people at Zhang An's house.

But in fact, Zhang An's family didn't invite so many people today.

Some of these people came to help, and some came to buy meat.

If they all came to help butcher the pigs, it would all be a meal.

"When did Xiaoying and Ningning come here?"

As soon as Wang Fang heard Su Ying talking to Chen Ning, she came out of the room to have a look.

"Auntie, we just came here."

The two girls greeted Wang Fang with a smile.

Wang Fang still had to work at home, and after talking with the two girls for a while, she returned to the kitchen.

Zhang An also vaguely heard a sound coming from the kitchen, some ladies were asking, which of these two girls is Zhang An's object.

This is true, gossip is everywhere.

Soon the first slaughtered pig was sold out.

Those who had already bought the meat gave Zhang Jianguo the money, and then went home with the pork on their backs.

It's not that Zhang An's family doesn't keep customers, it's mainly because there are too many people.

If they all stay, it will be a feast.

"The water is ready."

At this time, the water in the big iron pot had boiled, and Huang Erye yelled.

Now that everyone has almost rested, it's time to kill the second pig.

Hearing Huang Erye's slogan, Zhang Jianguo drove the second native pig out of the pigsty.

The people who pressed the pig went up and lifted the pig to the chopping board and held it down.

This was the first time for them to watch a pig slaughter, just like Li Yao last year, like a curious baby.

"Wow, Zhang An, why is your pig black? It's still so big."

The two of them had never seen a black pig before. They only knew that there were white pigs.

"Auntie, you are so stupid, this is a soil pig, of course it is black."

Before Zhang An could speak, Li Yao next to him began to despise them.

From Li Yao's point of view, these two aunts are so old that they don't know as much as he does.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Lan pulled him over to educate him.

"This is our local black soil pig. It's just that the skin is black. After it's slaughtered, it will turn white when everyone shaves it off."

Zhang An stood by and explained to everyone.

Zhang An looked at Chen Ze beside him eager to try, because he saw Li Hongbin pressing the pig on the edge of the desk, and he felt a little itchy.

"Old Chen, do you also want to press pigs?"

"I haven't pressed it, will it slow me down?"

"It's okay, there are so many people, it can't turn over the water, you just go as long as you don't think it's dirty."

Seeing that Chen Ze still wanted to go, Zhang An handed him the apron and sleeves to tie them up, and asked him to follow.

Zhang An's pigs are raised in dry pens, so they don't have a strong smell.

Much cleaner than pigs raised in wet pens.

Seeing that Lin Youde was about to use the knife, Zhang An pulled Su Ying and Chen Ning aside where they could not see the knife.

The two of them have never seen a pig slaughtered, so they won't be afraid of seeing blood later.

Sure enough, even though she was standing behind, when Lin Youde moved the knife, Chen Ning was so frightened that she ran to stand behind Zhang An.

Even Su Ying turned her head to the side, not daring to open her eyes.

Especially the sound of the big fat pig being pierced by a knife made the two of them plug their ears.

Because Zhang An's pig was relatively big, when Lin Youde stabbed it in with a knife, he stabbed it back and forth twice.

This is the experience I got when I killed a pig just now.

Because Zhang An's pigs are too fat, the meat on the neck is relatively thick.

Lin Youde's butcher's knife was a short knife, so when he stabbed it in, he didn't stab it to the end.

So when the first pig was killed just now, the person who pressed the pig suffered a lot.

This time it was relatively smooth, and now the pig is completely squatting.

After spending more than an hour, the second pig was finally finished.

It was almost eleven o'clock at this time, and there was still a pig in Zhang An's family that hadn't been killed yet.

When Huang Erye killed the pig just now, he hurriedly boiled the water, and then continued to kill the third pig.

"Hey, it seems that Zhang An's family's pig-killing meal is not delicious."

All the people who came to help were joking, but in fact they all had smiles on their faces.

"Hahaha, if you want to have a good meal, it must take some effort."

The meat of this pig is divided very quickly, because those who want less have already divided the other end just now.

After this one end was killed, it would be tens of catties for one family and tens of catties for that family, and the meat would be divided up quickly.

"Zhang An, do you want to continue killing pigs?"

Su Ying had some doubts when she heard everyone said that one more head had to be killed.

Could it be that people in the countryside have to kill several pigs for the New Year? This is too much.

"Yes, I have to kill another one, because this year people from the village come to my house to buy more meat. The two pigs just killed are just enough for everyone to share, so the pig that will be killed later is only for my family to eat."

"So it's like this. I thought your family had to kill several pigs to eat."

At this time, Su Ying and Chen Ning also understood that the Nian pigs they killed at home could not only be eaten by themselves, but could also be sold to others.

Of course, this can only be done now, but not in the future.

If someone reports it at that time and makes him pay a fine of hundreds of thousands, then he will be fucked.

"Hey, why isn't this pig black? How many colors of pigs does your family have? Zhang An"

Seeing that this end was different from the previous one, Chen Ning asked again.

"This one is a wild boar, so that's what it looks like."

"Ah, don't wild boars live on the mountain? Don't you go to the mountain to catch and kill them?"

"Of course not. This wild boar is a wild boar cub I met on the mountain before, and I brought it home to raise it."

"Oh, that's right." Chen Ning had the original expression, and then said, "Is the wild boar that was raised by people still called a wild boar?"

Damn, Zhang An doesn't know this question either, how can this kid ask more questions than Li Yao.

"It should still be a wild boar, after all, the breed is still a wild boar."

"Then Zhang An, if you catch them and raise them, won't their parents look for them everywhere?"

"Ah this."

Su Ying is a girl and a Chinese teacher, she has most of the romance of fairy tales in her mind.

But her question amused everyone who was about to slaughter pigs.

Seeing everyone laughing so happily, Su Ying thought she had said something wrong.

Huang Erye, who was burning the fire over there, couldn't help laughing, and said to Su Ying:
"Girl, the mother of this wild boar will not look for them everywhere."

"Why, sir, for animals in the mountains, don't they look for their cubs if they lose them?"

"Because their mother and father were all beaten to death by Anzi, hahaha."

Huang Erye couldn't bear it anymore, these two girls were so obedient (meaning simple and cute).

Only then did Su Ying know why everyone was laughing so happily.

However, Su Ying did not continue to say why the wild boar was killed.

Although she is from the city, she also knows that the wild boars in this mountain are not a good thing, and they often harm the crops in everyone's fields.

It's just that she was a little curious about how Zhang An beat the wild boar.

But it's hard for her to keep asking so many people, lest she ask some questions that will make everyone laugh later.

Ask quietly when you are free.

After everyone killed the pig, the meal in the house happened to be ready.

Zhang An didn't plan to sell the pork from this pig, so he kept all of it.

The two uncles also shared the meat, so there is no rush to unload the meat now, everyone will wash their hands first and go to the house to eat.

The pig-killing rice of Zhang An's family is different from others'.

Now most people's pig-killing rice is used to entertain everyone with offal or leftover meat.

Zhang An's family also uses the best pork for cooking.

Zhang Jianguo sat at a table with the old people in the village, and Wang Fang also sat at a table with the women and children in the village.

And Zhang An sat at a table with Chen Ze, Li Hongbin, and a few young people from the village, each treating his own guests.

"Hey, what is this? It's quite delicious."

Chen Ning took a piece of large intestine and ate it, and found that it still had a chewy texture.

Zhang An didn't know whether to tell her or not after reading it.

When Second Aunt Zhang An was handling pig intestines in the corner of the room, she saw her.

Out of curiosity, the girl ran over to take a look, but she made herself very sick.

After thinking about it, Zhang An gave a smirk, "I'll tell you after you finish eating."

After Chen Ning swallowed it, Zhang An said leisurely:

"This is what you went to see the second aunt to deal with, isn't it a surprise hahaha."

When Chen Ning heard this, she was dumbfounded, she had never eaten this food before.

I actually ate the disgusting thing just now.

And he said it was delicious.

Are they really a thing?

The expression on Chen Ning's face now was as if she had eaten something, and she was particularly entangled.

But I wanted to vomit but couldn't vomit, which amused the whole table.

In fact, I don't blame her, she never ate it.

When the second aunt was dealing with the large intestine just now, she only knew that it was disgusting, smelly and disgusting to look at.

But Zhang An's second aunt has her own skills in making large intestines.

This fried large intestine has no unpleasant taste at all.

It is completely different from the large intestine just taken out of the pig's stomach.

So it's normal for Chen Ning not to know.

But Chen Ning in the back didn't hold another piece of large intestine.

On the other hand, the food is quite tasty for other people.

"Zhang An, are there mushrooms in this dish?"

Chen Ze picked up a piece of bamboo fungus and asked Zhang An. He thought it was delicious.

"This is called bamboo fungus, and it's also a kind of mushroom. Isn't it delicious?"

Today, Zhang An's family uses bamboo sun ribs, and even the soup is very fresh.

"I haven't eaten such a delicious thing before."

While talking, he ate two more pieces.

After everyone had finished their lunch, several maids from the village helped Wang Fang clean up the food, dishes and chopsticks at home.

Zhang Jianguo took Lin Youde to the side and unloaded the pig that had just been killed and put on the case.

"Zhang An, leave me [-] catties of this pork, and I'll take it back when the time comes."

He knew it was wild boar, so he wanted to take some back with him.

"Okay, go and see which one you want, and I'll let them unload it for you."

Zhang An didn't care either, this wild boar weighed more than 200 catties, and now it produced more than [-] catties of meat.

I gave Chen Ze 100 catties, and the family had more than [-] catties left, enough to eat.

If it doesn't work, it's not impossible to kill another one at that time.

After watching it for a long time, Chen Ze picked out a whole pig hind leg.

For Zhang An and the others, hind legs are the best pork.

Usually at meat stalls, hind legs are more expensive than front legs.
