My village can't be like this

Chapter 166 Anyway, it doesn't eat grass, so let's kill it first
Back home, Wang Fang saw Su Ying coming, with a smile on her face.

Su Ying introduced Wang Min who was next to her. Although Wang Fang was also very enthusiastic, she had a smile on her face.

But it was completely different from when I saw Chen Ning and Su Ying before.

That's not true, Wang Fang is a very principled person, there are already candidates for a wife here, so it won't be the same as before.

Knowing that Su Ying was coming, Wang Fang had already cleaned up the room.

"Zhang An, where is the fish you mentioned? Where did you put it?"

As soon as she entered the house, Su Ying didn't see the red carp in the lobby.

"Well, right here."

Zhang An pointed to the sand tank in the corner of the wall, and Su Ying walked over to have a look.

Then I found the red carp that was contented in the water tank.

"Hey, why is there such a big goldfish?"

When Wang Min said this, Su Ying laughed out loud.

"Why are you so stupid? There is no distinction between carp and goldfish. Whose goldfish grows so big?"

"Oh, it turns out that this is a carp. I said how can there be such a big goldfish. But there are red carp, I have never heard of it before."

In those parks in the provincial capital, artificially bred ornamental fish have not yet been introduced.

And now there is no aquarium in the provincial capital, and all they have seen are small goldfish raised by some people.

After watching the red carp, Su Ying went upstairs to put her things away, and then took Wang Min to run into the enclosure.

She first went to the chicken coop to see the little golden chickens before.

"Sure enough, it has grown a lot, and the tail has also grown."

When Su Ying looked at these little golden chickens, they were still tiny.

Looking at them this time, they looked completely different, and Su Ying could see that they had changed at a glance.

"Xiaoying, what kind of chicken is this? Why does it feel different from other chickens?"

Wang Min is also a city resident, and in this era of lack of information, she has never seen a golden rooster.

Just looking at the long trailing tail, Wang Min felt that it must not be a chicken.

And when Su Ying just teased them, they could fly, which ordinary chickens can't do.

Su Ying had at least met her on the mountain in person, so she introduced it to Wang Min confidently at this time.

"Minmin, these are not ordinary chickens. They grow up to be a beautiful bird, just like a phoenix."

As she talked, Su Ying talked about when Zhang An's family played during the Chinese New Year.

Zhang An took them up the mountain and told Wang Min what the golden rooster looked like.

"Is this the chicken you're talking about? Are you sure it's not the Phoenix?"

Wang Min didn't quite believe it. Normally, among the chickens raised at home, the prettiest ones should be reed chickens.

But that was not as mysterious as what Su Ying said.

"Really, ask Zhang An if you don't believe me."

If Su Ying had a camera at this time and took pictures, she would definitely be in front of Wang Min.

"That's right, the golden rooster really looks like that. When they grow up after a while, you can see a beautiful golden rooster when you come here, but it is actually a bird."

Among the six golden roosters in Zhang An's family, there are two male birds.

They continue to grow for two or three weeks, and then begin to molt, at which point they can put on their gorgeous coats.

"Then why the male bird looks good-looking, but the female bird doesn't look good-looking."

"I know this, let me say it."

Hearing Wang Min's question, Su Ying seemed to remember that she had asked the same question before.

So when Zhang An said it, she wrote it down.

"Minmin, male birds are bright and beautiful because they need a gorgeous appearance to court. Female birds are not bright because they need protective colors to protect them from natural enemies. If the female and male birds are at the same time If found by natural enemies, the male bird will use his gorgeous appearance to attract the natural enemy away, and the female bird will use the protective color on his body to escape."

At this moment, Su Ying is like a teacher who just asked a question that she doesn't know, and she understands it.

Then I met my deskmate who couldn't do it, and explained it to the classmates endlessly.

"So it's like this, looking good in nature is also a danger."

"This is indeed the case, and if you pay more attention, you can also find that the rooster at home is much prettier than the hen."

Su Ying is like a teacher today, leading her students to swim in the ocean of knowledge.

She knew that Wang Min didn't know Lin Musk and Huang Ji, but only sika deer and hares.

So I proudly took Wang Min for a walk around Zhang An's "Family Zoo".

"Zhang An, is Huatou at home today?"

Coming out of the enclosure, Su Ying asked Zhang An.

"Yeah, I'm probably sleeping squatting in the nest right now."

Huatou now basically goes out for a walk in the morning and comes back to lie down in the afternoon.

Zhang An usually wants to let him go for a walk in the mountains and kidnap a daughter-in-law from the old forest.

At that time, a litter of little kites will be born at home, but this guy is now an otaku.

"Then call it out, I haven't seen it for a long time."

"Okay, I'll call it out."

Zhang An raised his hand and blew a loud whistle.

After a while, the flower heads on the roof flew out.

There was a burst of sharp venom, as if responding to Zhang An's whistle.

Then he swooped down from the air and landed on Zhang An's shoulder.

It is still rubbing Zhang An's hair with its own head, making people look docile and well-behaved.

"Is this an eagle?"

Wang Min looked at Huatou standing on Zhang An's shoulder at this time, and was so excited that he stumbled when he spoke.

"Yeah, it's called Huatou, but it's actually a goshawk, a kind of eagle."

As Su Ying said, she wanted to reach out to touch Huatou, but Huatou felt it immediately, and stared at Su Ying with sharp eyes.

But Huatou seemed to recognize Su Ying, Su Ying touched it last time.

So she lowered her erect head again, and Su Yingcai stroked it slowly on its back.

At this time, Xiaohu also ran to Zhang An's feet and squatted.

"Why do I feel so familiar?"

Looking at this scene, Wang Min murmured.

"It's right to lead Huang to the left and Qingcang to the right."

Su Ying reminded her from the side.

"Yes, yes, this is it. If the dog is a yellow dog, it will be more similar."

"Little tiger is very fierce, and the yellow dog is its opponent."

"I know, just by looking at its head, I know it's fierce."

After the two finished watching, Zhang An shrugged his shoulders, and Huatou flew to the river to find something to eat.

People often see it when they are fishing by the river, and they will throw a fish to it.

But the flower heads are not necessary, it is not thrown by Zhang An's family, it will not eat.

In this way, Zhang An is also relieved, lest others will prescribe medicine to it.

"Xiaoying is here." Zhang Jianguo came back now and saw Su Ying in the yard with a smile on his face.

"Yeah, come this afternoon, uncle."

Afterwards, Su Ying and Wang Min accompanied Wang Fang to talk, and Zhang An set up a stove in the yard and started to light a fire.

"Zhang An, why are you lighting a fire?"

"I'm going to boil water to slaughter the sheep."

I told Su Ying before that when she came, I would slaughter the goat and roast it.

"Ah, you really want to kill them, or forget it, you bought them just now, wait for more to raise them, and eat them later."

Su Ying found that what Zhang An said was really what he said.

I said to buy sheep before, but I bought it as soon as I came back.

Then he said that he wanted to slaughter the sheep and roast it, and now he was preparing to boil the water.

"Hahaha, it's better to say goodbye. I'm afraid that after raising it for a long time, I will be reluctant to eat it in the end."

Zhang An has such a habit, he is reluctant to touch something after keeping it for a long time.

The pigs raised at home were like this before, and Zhang An didn't feed them very much, so that when the pigs were finally slaughtered, there was nothing reluctant.

"Moreover, most of these sheep graze well when I buy them, but one doesn't eat much and feels that it still misses its former home, so I thought about eating it."

"You, if you want to eat sheep, you can eat sheep. You also talk about whether people want to go home or eat grass."

Su Ying saw it last time, and Zhang An had to find a legitimate reason to eat a rabbit.

"It's not that I'm looking for a reason, but that it really doesn't eat grass, you ask my dad."

"There is such a sheep that doesn't eat much. When I drive them out every day, it just stands or lies down, and doesn't like to eat very much."

This time, Zhang An didn't find a reason. If the sheep that don't eat grass are kept, they will only get thinner and thinner in the future.

It's better to slaughter it first when it's very fat now, so that it won't have much meat if it's dragged down later.

Hearing that Zhang An was going to slaughter a sheep, Zhang Jianguo also came out to help.

"Tie Wazi, come here and tell you something, uncle."

Just when Zhang Tie passed by the door, Zhang Jianguo called him in.

"What's the matter, uncle."

"Go and see your parents and the second uncle's house now. If you are busy, call them over if you have nothing to do."

"Understood, I'll go right away."

The water in the big iron pot boiled for half an hour, and finally boiled.

Zhang An and his father carried the case table out of the house.

Then Zhang An went to the sheep pen and dragged out the goat that was not eating grass.

Zhang An dragged the sheep, and it was estimated that it weighed more than 90 catties.

The yield rate of sheep is not high, and the black goats raised by Wang Mingqian's family are also average.

It is estimated that forty to fifty catties of mutton would be good.

"Brother, Tie Wa said that you called us to have something to do."

After a while, Zhang An's second and third uncles came over.

"Calling you to come over and kill the sheep, second child, go home and get the knife."

Zhang Jianguo is very proficient in killing chickens and fish, because he often kills them.

But killing sheep is a bit unskilled, because there is not much contact.

Zhang An's second uncle Zhang Jianjun had to come, he is a proficient man, having learned a hand from Lin Youde before.

After Zhang An's second and third aunts came, they sat with Wang Fang and talked with Su Ying.

"Mom, who is the sister-in-law?"

Little Yanzi remembered it clearly. When Zhang An went out, her mother told her that her brother had gone to find his sister-in-law.

Looking at Su Ying and Wang Min now, I can't turn my head around.

"Here, this is sister-in-law, hurry up and call someone." Third Aunt Zhang pointed to Su Ying for Yanzi.

In the end, the little girl really called "sister-in-law" bluntly, making Su Ying blush.

"It's not time to call sister-in-law yet, let's call sister first."

Seeing that Su Ying's face was blushing with embarrassment, Wang Fang relieved her.

"It's okay, anyway, sooner or later, let Yanzi yell a few times first, and Xiaoying will get used to it first."

The little girl Yanzi is not the same as before. She also pays attention to her cleanliness at ordinary times, and does not curl up on the ground to play.

The biggest change is that she no longer has the habit of wiping her nose with her sleeves, and the third aunt should have just changed her clothes.

Now it looks like a porcelain doll, clean and cute with two braids.

Su Ying knew that Zhang An doted on this little sister, so she pulled Swallow over and hugged her on her lap.

Talking from time to time made Yanzi laugh endlessly, and the adults in the family were also very happy to see this.

"Mom, take Su Ying and the others into the house."

Su Ying was not used to seeing the blood when the sheep was killed later, so Zhang An asked them to enter the house in advance and not to watch.

Hearing this, all the women in the family returned to the lobby.

Leaving four big men busy in the yard.

This sheep may also know that he is about to quack, and the sound is a bit miserable.

Zhang Anxin said, if you don't eat grass, if you eat more, I won't be willing to kill you.

If you want to be a sheep in your next life, remember to eat grass.

A goat weighs less than a hundred catties, and it doesn't have much strength. Compared with the pigs at home, it looks like a baby.

Zhang An pressed it on the chopping board, and Uncle Zhang picked up the butcher's knife very skillfully.

It was sent away peacefully with only one knife.

Then put it in a large basin, and scald it all over with boiling water.

The slaughter of sheep in the south is different from that in the north. People in the north need to save sheep skins to keep out the cold, so when they kill sheep, they always peel the skins.

But the south is different, directly scald with boiling water, and shave the hair.

Moreover, when people in Guizhou Province eat mutton, they like to eat it with the skin on.

Not to mention, the mutton with skin is quite chewy when done well.

The four people shaved the goat clean without taking much time.

A bald, white, naked sheep appeared in Zhang An's eyes.

Although it is said to be white, it is actually a little bit black.

Zhang Jianguo picked up the shaved wool and put it aside to dry.

The feathers of ducks and geese that are usually killed at home will also be cleaned up.

Because someone specially collects this thing, and it can be sold for money.

There should be someone collecting chicken feathers, but Zhang An and the others have never seen anyone collecting chicken feathers.

So the general chicken feathers are burned.

Then Uncle Zhang took some effort to dig open the sheep's viscera.

Zhang An took out a steelyard and weighed it. Not counting the internal organs, there were still more than 50 catties.

Zhang An is already very satisfied with more than half of the meat yield, but this is skinned, and the four sheep's hooves have not been cut yet.

Originally, Zhang An planned to roast the whole lamb, but he had never roasted it himself, and there was no oven at home.

Moreover, roasted whole lamb seems to have to be peeled before roasting. Few of them here are skilled in peeling.

So Zhang An thought about it, and decided not to roast the whole lamb today, and wait until he learns how to do it later.

This mutton weighs more than 50 catties, and it looks a little bit. If it is not roasted well, it will be a waste of mutton.

If you don't roast the whole lamb, there are several more ways to eat it.

No wonder everyone talks about slaughtering fat sheep and fat sheep, not fat pigs or cattle.

Because it is really convenient to handle, Zhang An's family only spent more than half an hour before and after the sheep.
