My village can't be like this

Chapter 25 Xiaohan and Dahan kill pigs for the New Year (Please collect and recommend)

Every year, several families in the village kill pigs. Zhang An's family did it before, but that was when Zhang An's grandparents were still there, and Zhang Jianguo's brothers had not yet separated.

Basically, every year, the village head's family is killed before other families can do it.

Every time the village chief's family kills a pig, they basically call a lot of people to help, and if they are placed in ordinary people's homes, they will have to eat a lot of meat.

But this is also to unite the people in the village. Every time after eating, I will hold a summary meeting with the people in the village to discuss how the whole village should develop next year. Even if it is farming, we have to consider how to grow it to get a good harvest.

Changqing Village is doing very well now. So many canals have been built in the field dam, which saves everyone a lot of time, otherwise they would have to pull water into the field from the big river now.

Now the road from Hongyan Town to Shui County has been repaired and opened to traffic. Although it does not pass through the village entrance, it is not far away, and it is not bad.

Look at the villages in Maocaoping and Longtan Village next door. They used to be more desolate than Changqing, and the road was more difficult to walk. But this year, the road passes directly from the entrance of the village. It will be more convenient for people from those villages to take the bus when the shuttle bus opens. up.

The old uncle in the village held his breath in his heart. In fact, he really wanted to repair this section of the road, so that it would be much easier for Changqing to get in and out.

But road construction requires money. Not only does it cost money to find an excavator to dig it, but also the cement and sand on the road needs money.

But now there is no money in the village, and if there is no money, nothing can be done.

In this regard, Zhang An is just an audience, and he wants to come up with ideas and contribute to the village, but it's not the time yet, and he is young and soft-spoken.

As the saying goes, if you don't have hair on your mouth, you can't do things well.

Everyone discussed and discussed, but they didn't come up with any good suggestions, so they could only wait until later.

After returning home, Zhang An discussed it with his father. He liked the land at the head of the village, which was the educated youth dormitory at that time.

Zhang Jianguo knew that the land was a mountainous land that was reclaimed at that time, but because it was sandy and gravel land, nothing could be planted.

So after the educated youths returned, they have been left unoccupied until now.

But in Zhang Jianguo's eyes, that piece of land is only large in size, but sandy land cannot grow good food, and the harvest of potatoes is less than that of other places.

I didn't agree, nor refused, just said to think about it, and now the family doesn't have that much money.

If you bought the broken houses and the sandy land, you would have to pay two to three thousand yuan, and it would only cost more than 3000 yuan to build a three-room tile house.

Early the next morning, Zhang Jianguo got up and set up a fire pit in the yard.

Zhang An brought the big iron pot used for boiling water in the village and set it on top.

Zhang An called Li Hongbin's family last night and told them to come over early because they were going to kill pigs today.

Zhang An's family didn't invite many people to butcher the pig. They only invited their own relatives, other well-connected families, and prestigious village elders.It's not like the village chief's house, where half the village is invited for dinner.

Of course, the village chief's family will definitely invite you. They only came to treat you to dinner yesterday, and they will definitely return it today.

When nine o'clock came, Li Hongbin's family arrived.

It's useless for Zhang An to pick up people at the entrance of the village. Now that they know the way, they will come by themselves.

"Godfather, I'm here." As soon as Li Yao entered the door, he ran to Zhang An's side and hugged Zhang An's leg.

Zhang An hugged Li Yao with both hands, "Whether it's cold or not, my face is turning red from the cold."

"It's not cold, I'm still sweating."

Zhang An was busy, so Zhou Lan took Li Yao away, but after a while, after he found Zhang Tie, he got together with Zhang Tie.

After the big iron pot in the yard boiled the water, the pig butcher also came.

According to the procedure, the Kitchen God was sacrificed in the yard first.

Finally, I started to catch pigs in the pigsty. The pigs in Zhang An's family were relatively big, so more people had to go.

At three hundred catties, it's half a head bigger than other people's.

"The pigs in Jianguo's family are fine. They look too comfortable. They weigh three hundred catties."

"This year, their old Zhang's family is lucky. The horse was not skinny when it was bought, but it is so strong now."

. . . .

The envy in the eyes of everyone is visible, and what everyone in the countryside compares is whose crops are better, the animals they raise are better, and the children are promising.

Because it was too big, everyone tied up the pig's feet with ropes, and the mouth could not escape.

Seven or eight people were pressed on the chopping board, and it was time to watch the butcher's solo performance.

Soon after the pig was turned over, it was time to blow the pig.

The main force for shaving has become Zhang Jianguo's brothers and a few uncles in the village.

Li Yao stared at the pig butcher with his eyes wide open when he was blowing the pig.

Zhou Lan didn't show him when he moved the knife just now, and covered his eyes.

But in fact, this is nothing, no one in the village has seen it.

"Mom, what are they doing?"

Zhou Lan actually didn't know what it was for, she was originally from the city, and she came to the town after marrying Li Hongbin.

"This is blowing the pig. The main reason is to even out the flatulence. After pouring boiling water, the pig hair on the pig skin is easier to shave. Pork."

Zhang An explained to the mother and son, but the little guy started asking questions again. "Then do you have to blow it when you kill a chicken?"

"You don't need to blow the chicken to kill it. With such long hair, it can be plucked after being scalded." In order to prevent Li Yao from continuing, Zhang An directly asked Zhang Tie to take him out to play.

This child is simply a hundred thousand reasons.

It took an hour or so before the first pig was killed, and the water in the cauldron continued to boil.

In the room, Wang Fang led a group of women to prepare for cooking.

By the time the second pig was slaughtered, it was already noon.

Unload the two pigs first, and then start eating lunch.

Although not many people were invited, four tables were still set up.

Except for Li Hongbin, Zhou Lan's family had eaten pig-killing rice before. Zhou Lan and Li Yao had never even seen a pig-killing meal, so eating like this felt a bit fresh.

I don't know who cut the pork, Zhang An just wanted to say that the knife is very good, every slice is crystal clear, almost the same thickness.

Take out a piece of cooked fat and thin pork from the pot, dip it in chili water, it is simply delicious.

Zhang An guessed right, his pork was indeed much tastier than others.

Although fat meat is fat, it is fat but not greasy; lean meat is thin, but it is thin but not greasy.

On the contrary, eating it can also whet the appetite and arouse appetite.

Li Yao had already eaten three bowls of rice, because the meat was too appetizing.

Now Zhou Lan did not dare to let him eat, for fear of breaking his stomach.

The yield rate of the two pigs in Zhang An's family is frighteningly high. Although the exact weight of the pigs has not been weighed, it should be about [-] catties, not much more.

In the end, the finished meat actually weighed about [-] catties, which was excluding the weight of the offal and the pig's head.

Not many people wanted to buy meat before the meal, but after the meal, a lot of them were sold.

The family kept 300 to [-] catties, gave Li Hongbin half a fan, and left more than [-] catties.

Zhang An's second uncle and third uncle's family also bought [-] catties each back home, which was originally agreed.

In the end, what was left was sold by the villagers in sevens and eighties, and only seven or eighty catties were left.

Originally, Zhang Jianguo wanted to carry it to the town to sell it, but someone came to buy it in the afternoon.

It was sold out until the end, and some people came to ask if there was any pork in the house.

Originally there were two pig heads left, Zhang An wanted to keep his own stewed pig heads, but they were also bought in the end
After all, the meat is not only delicious, but just by the appearance of the meat, everyone knows that it must be good meat.
