Chapter 136 Killing Pigs

After moving the eggs into the warehouse, Pomegranate suddenly broke out a small amount of sweat on her forehead, wiped it, and under the gaze of Jiang and Pang, she checked that the egg yolks they had put in today were correct, and she clicked head.

Ms. Jiang also breathed a sigh of relief, "Really? We have been doing this for a few days. Now that we have mastered this work, it is pretty good even with our eyes closed!"

Pomegranate praised the two of them for their good work and affirmed their hard work, and then let them get off work today.

Then she followed Mrs. Jiang to her house. In the kitchen, Ms. Zheng and the others were just doing the finishing work. Pomegranate checked the meat floss they had fried and dried to cool and packaged today. After making sure that there was no problem, she let her go. They also all quit work.

At this time, the apprentices in the carpentry workshop had also left work. Mrs. Song and Li Xiangli were bringing the two-sided steamed buns that had just been steamed from the pot to the tribesmen who were helping to build the house to wash their hands and eat them.

After I ordered this, I naturally didn’t take it and sit down to eat it slowly. Everyone took it in groups of three or four, and went home while eating.

After the tribesmen took the buns and dispersed one after another, only her own family was left. Mrs. Song put the remaining buns on the table, and cooked a pot of cabbage with lard residue. This was tonight's dinner. .

The whole family sat crowded together at the square table in the kitchen, with a brazier placed under the table. It was so warm that even the steamed buns seemed to smell a lot more fragrant.

Li Jihe asked about Shiliu's arrival in the city today.

Pomegranate said: "Young Master Wang has had a good start today, and the snacks are selling well! We have made an order with our family, and from now on we will deliver 20 packs of pork floss and 400 salted egg yolks every three days! This salted egg yolk is so good, It’s just this pork floss that can’t be made quickly. I guess I need to recruit a few more people, but now I can’t even make the stove, so I still need to build a workshop!”

After hearing this, Li Jihe said: "Your second uncle and the others are very quick in their work. In the past few days, they have built two rooms. I will ask your sixth uncle to bring people to build the stove tomorrow and set up the stove." , smoke it with fire, use it first for your food workshop, and let’s take the reservation, so don’t delay other people’s business——”

Shiliu nodded, "I'll tell the clan leader tomorrow and ask him to find a few more aunts and sisters-in-law. There will be no delay."

After talking about business matters, Shiliu, who was not at home today, couldn't help but ask about the eldest brother's stay with Xiao Ding today.

Mrs. Song smiled and said that Xiao Ding has been given away, and the next step is to wait for the New Year to see a few good days before marrying a wife. As for Dading, which is the betrothal gift, it is customary to give it one month before the wedding. .

Lin Erfeng is now seventeen years old, so the wedding date must be next year. Farmers usually don't marry a daughter-in-law when they are busy with spring plowing and farming. If anyone wants to marry a daughter-in-law during the busy spring plowing and farming, even if the bride's family is willing , that will also be poked in the spine. If you rush in to marry a wife at this time, why don't people rush in to help with the farm work?

Mrs. Song estimated that this day must be in September or October, whichever day is best.

Before dawn the next day, Li Jihe got up and went to the old house to see if the eldest son of the Sun family was out today. If not, he asked him to help kill the pig.

The fact that Father Li and Sun Laowang don't deal with each other is just a matter of childhood. They don't like everything and have different opinions. However, although the younger generations of the two families are not very close, there is no conflict.

Father Li didn't want to invite Ding Laowang's son to kill pigs in his old house, and Li Jihe didn't pay much attention to it, mainly because it was too late to invite other butchers at this time.

There are many people killing pigs during the Chinese New Year. The butchers in other villages didn't tell them in advance. They don't know if they have enough time. This village is nearby. I'll ask the boss of the Sun family. If they don't have time, they can only go to Changqing Village. . When Father Li saw his third son coming, he went directly to Sun Laowang's house across the street. He was also puzzled. When he asked, he learned that Pomegranate had bought two pigs and wanted to invite Boss Sun to kill the pigs. He didn't say anything. I was only happy that the third family bought two pigs.

Now that the life of the third child in his family is booming, Father Li feels that he is no different from Ding Laowang's son who was born a child. Pomegranate said that after the Chinese New Year, he will send Brother Zhang to Fan's School. This time The tension in Father Li's heart has long since dissipated due to the numerous incidents.

At this moment, he smiled and exchanged words with Sun Laowang, "Lao Wang, you will also come and eat the pig-killing rice later!"

The butchers, the butchers, and the ones who help butcher the pigs usually serve the butcher rice, so the butcher naturally has to stay and eat. There is nothing wrong with Father Li asking the butcher and his father to come and eat together.

On the other hand, Sun Laowang looked at his wrinkled face, babbled, and refused, so he wouldn't go. You guys can eat slowly.

Seeing his refusal, Mr. Li didn't shout much, and followed him to the east of the village with his hands behind his back. He also said to Sun Laowang, "Okay, I think the pigs are being killed. There are two pigs. It’s going to take a lot of effort!”

The two pigs were kept in a pig pen in the backyard last night. They were busy and didn't get any pig grass. They didn't feed them at all. They were screaming so much this morning. They were driven out of the pen and wanted to send them home to the west. They were screaming even more. No, the pig's scream was so shrill that most of the village could hear it.

But the children who joined in the fun were not afraid at all. Instead, they found it very interesting. At the end of the year, they encountered such a grand event of killing New Year pigs in the village. No matter which house killed New Year pigs, there were always children joining in the fun. Of course, it was also more It is indispensable for adults to watch the fun.

The excitement of pinching Tian Ai has subsided in the past two days. Most of the crops that can be pinched have been finished. There must be a free period when waiting for Tian Ai to come out again.

Patriarch Li was also there, so Shiliu found him among the crowd and said, "Grandpa Patriarch."

Seeing Pomegranate giving him a signal, Patriarch Li quickly withdrew from the crowd and went to one side, "Pomegranate, what's wrong?"

Pomegranate said: "Grandpa Patriarch, my food workshop needs to recruit a few more people, and we need to do it today! You can find a few more people."

When Patriarch Li heard this, he realized that the workshop was going to expand its enrollment. Was it because they had negotiated a big deal yesterday when they were delivering goods?
This is a good thing!

He hurriedly said: "Okay! I'll find someone for you right now!"

After that, he stopped watching the butchered pig. Instead, Jihe would definitely ask him to come over for a drink after eating the butchered pig rice. He went to find someone first and found someone to bring him over, which was just in time.

Mr. Sun, who has been killing pigs for more than ten years, used the knife in his hand and his movements very neatly. The two squealing pigs soon became silent, and the person who helped the pigs shaved them off.

After a while, the snow-white pig was hung up. Boss Sun took a knife and cut it into two pieces. He then took it off and put it on the pig-killing bench. He asked Li Jihe how to divide it. Cut it into strips, or whatever.

Pomegranate hurriedly squeezed in and told him to remove all the lean meat and separate the pork belly and fat meat.

Soon, a pig was cut up first, and Pomegranate immediately asked the Zheng family, who had arrived long ago just to wait for the meat to be started, to take away the lean meat, wash it and cook it.

As for the fat meat and the pig blood, they were all carried into the kitchen with help. Mrs. Song took Li Xiangli, Mrs. Huang who was helping, and Li Jizhong and Li Jixiao's wives to start slaughtering the pigs. The food comes——
