Chapter 10 Kill the New Year Pig

Soon came the day when the village slaughtered pigs, which was probably the most anticipated event for everyone in the village. Although they only ate meat a few days ago, it did not affect the enthusiasm of the villagers for killing pigs. After all, even though game is meat, it can always be eaten. Not as tasty as pork.One is to solve the oil and water for one year, and the other is to improve the food at home.

No one in the forward brigade raises pigs. They are all raised in a unified manner in the production team. This saves manpower and can take better care of the pigs. This year, [-] big fat pigs were raised, and they were all fed with bean cakes a month in advance. And soybeans, so that pigs can grow fatter and taste better.

The educated youth ordered a few people to gain weight visible to the naked eye during this period. In this era of insufficient food and clothing, people in the village stared at them when they went out. Of course, they all had good intentions.

Zheng Chuanwen, who was greedy for meat early in the morning, chatted with everyone, "Get up soon, the team is killing pigs today, and I can eat meat again, hehe."

"I said Comrade Zheng Chuanwen, do you want to be so active? What time is it? It's too early to eat meat." Yu Hongjian yawned while holding the door frame.

"If you are not active in eating meat, why should you be active? We can help out or something. We just came here this year and we can't go home. I heard that the educated youth can go home to visit relatives after one year. We have to call the leader's village. It's a good relationship." As he spoke, he went out without waiting for a few people.

"I'm going to town in two days, do you want to come together?" Wen Shunian thought that he had to sell some food again, earn more money, and then go to the bookstore to find some books, and read all the ones he bought before.

Xiao Juan and the others expressed that they would go together, and by the way, send some food and pickled pheasant and hare to the family.The few people used tickets to exchange a lot of food before, so they directly divided what they had according to their heads. Every few days, each person handed over the food to Xiao Juan for cooking. Wen Shunian thought this was very good and could avoid conflicts.

After a few people agreed, Wen Shunian went back to the room and entered the space. He will go to the town in two days. Now make a plan for what to sell, and the rice will not be sold. There were too many sales in the past few times, which would easily arouse suspicion. Selling [-] catties of flour, there are a lot of people getting married near the twelfth lunar month, so you can sell another [-] catties of brown sugar, and then sell some cabbage and radishes in the space.

People in the city have food supply indicators, and many people will need it when the Chinese New Year is approaching. Cabbage and radishes are not eye-catching, so there is no doubt about it. In addition, there are too many fish in the space. When fishing in space, there are probably more than 1 catties, all of which are about ten catties.

It’s not that Wen Shunian said that the products produced in the space must be high-quality goods. Although they can’t cure all diseases, and they can’t live a long life, they are fresh and refreshing. I have made boiled fish fillets in the space a few times.

Putting the things that need to be sold in a pile, Wen Shunian took a shower in the space for a few days. Since coming here, the shampoo and shower gel I basically use are all tasteless, only occasionally I only eat dinner I only use the fragrance once when I'm in bed, I'm so aggrieved, I'm afraid of being suspicious, I'm careful all day long, I'm in pain and I'm happy.

When I got out of the space, I heard Xiao Juan calling me. They went to the village committee when they left the house. It was a spectacular scene of crowds of people. The men slaughtered pigs to collect the pig blood, and the women washed and cut vegetables. There was a clear division of labor.

Most of the pig-killing banquets are made with pig offal. After the pork is distributed to the villagers, there are leftovers, which are made into pork stewed vermicelli and distributed to everyone. Today's pig-killing banquet is eaten in the cafeteria.Each household distributed about ten catties of pork, and the remaining tens of catties were directly cooked with pork stewed vermicelli. Wen Shunian has never eaten this dish when he came here. Specifically, he has never eaten it. Everyone It is said to be very delicious, and it is the best delicacy everyone has ever eaten.

"Shu Nian, Xinyue, we will be here for a year next year, will you go home next year?" Xiao Juan asked while washing vegetables.

"I'm not going back, you want to go back?"

Guo Xinyue had a sad face on her face, "I'm not going back, it's meaningless to go back, it's better to be here, it's pretty good here, and the people in the village treat us very well."

"I want to go home. I miss my family. It's the first time I've been away from home for so long since I was a child."

"Go back, I can go home next year, and then spend more time with my family and bring them some of our specialties."

"What special products do we have here, I don't know about it after coming here for so long?"

"Cornmeal, hahahaha, just kidding, next year we will not only have centimeters to exchange for food, but also wages. At that time, some of us will scrape together some candy tickets for you. You can buy some rice cracker candies for your family and take them home. .”

"That's right, Shu Nian, why didn't I think of it, and then I'll ask Liu Zhifeng to hunt two pheasants. I'll marinate them and take them home for the family to try. They haven't eaten pheasants before."

"Bring the vegetables in after washing, freeze the pig's blood quickly, and cut the pork quickly. Let's try to have dinner early. This is the only time this year. Everyone hurry up." Before Xiao Juan and the others continued , the village chief came to urge, and everyone washed the vegetables and went to chop them.

Wen Shunian: "Aunt Osmanthus, the vegetables are ready, what else do I need to do?"

"Shu Nian, it's nothing, you go outside quickly, it's time for dinner in a while."

"Ok."

After the pig-killing feast, they went back to their respective homes. Before Wen Shunian could sit down to take a breather, Xiao Juan knocked on the door, "Shu Nian, Aunt Chrysanthemum is looking for you."

"Here we come." Wen Shunian answered and opened the door to welcome Aunt Chrysanthemum into the room.

"Auntie, what's the matter?"

"That educated youth, my aunt came here today to ask you for something. It's something like this. Isn't this your Uncle Jianguo who changed some brown sugar at your place last time? I just wanted to ask you if you still have brown sugar. It's from my natal family. My nephew is seeing a girl recently, and I think it will be more convenient to go to the woman's house to propose a marriage in exchange for some brown sugar, but we really can't think of a way, sugar tickets are too rare."

"Auntie, just call me Shu Nian. I really have some brown sugar, but I don't have much left. It's only a catty or two, but I don't know if it's enough."

"Enough is enough. I thought it would be fine if I had half a catty. Shu Nian, you give a catty and a half to your aunt, and you keep half a catty for yourself. Let's see what you need in exchange?"

"Auntie, does Uncle Jianguo know how to make fish baskets? Fish baskets. I see that the river in the village hasn't frozen yet. I want to see if I can sneak some fish into the baskets to improve my food."

"It's simple, you want a big basket or a small one."

"Big ones."

"What else is there, a basket is worthless."

"Just a basket, I don't need anything else."

"That's no good. Auntie won't be happy if you want to do this. How about this? If you really don't know what to change, Auntie will just watch and send it to you when the time comes?"

"Okay, it's fine for my aunt to decide." Wen Shunian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, are people so honest now? It's not like people in later generations, those who are close to him come for their own benefit. People at this time are simple and kind.

"That's right. Isn't this how people get along with each other? If you help me if I have something to do, then I can't let you suffer. It's comfortable to come and go." Aunt Chrysanthemum taught Wen Shunian earnestly, I always feel that this kid is not very smart.

Wen Shunian, who is not very shrewd, can only say anything, he can only stand up and use the cover of the kang cabinet to take out two catties of brown sugar from the space, find a paper bag and hand it to Aunt Chrysanthemum, and chat with Aunt Chrysanthemum for a while. Send Aunt Chrysanthemum out.
