Fragrant Spring - 135 New Year Pig Killing

"Ouch, ouch, ouch..." The screams of fat pigs have been heard from time to time in Muwa Village these days. Here, every household has to kill a fat pig to celebrate the New Year. Especially today, the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, there is a folk saying.

, kill seven but not eight. It is said that the 28th is the birthday of the Pig God, and pigs cannot be killed on this day. If someone kills, the pigs will not be able to raise enough in the coming year, so pigs are killed all year round.

Until twenty-seven.

Lin Hua's family also killed pigs today. His pigs had been raised for more than a year and weighed a full 156 pounds. In those days, there was a joke in the countryside that pigs only grow big in three years and fat in four years.

, it takes five years to gain some fat. According to this joke, Lin Hua’s pigs are considered fat.

Lin Hua's father had already boiled a pot of water, sharpened the knife, and called his new uncle Haishan. He asked his uncle to help him kill the pigs with the knife. In recent years, he has grown older and his hand holding the knife has

He was also shaking, and he didn't dare to do the job of killing pigs anymore. He originally asked Lin Hua to kill him, but Lin Hua shook his head like a salesman and said he couldn't do it. That's why he asked his uncle to help.

Haishan came, and Lin Hua’s father called some neighbors who came to help him to drag the pig out of the pen. This pig was really a pig. When people entered the pig pen, it thought they were coming to feed it, until Haishan took two

A piece of bamboo was tied with a rope clamp to clamp its upper mouth, and then it screamed "ouch". Several people worked together

Lift the big fat pig onto the big bench, pull the tail of the pig, grab the pig's feet, and hold it down firmly. Monkey Three took a basin and put it on the ground to catch the pig's blood. He was also here to help.

He is also here to buy pork. He is single and does not raise pigs or chickens, so he just comes to Linhua to buy twenty or thirty kilograms of clean meat to celebrate the New Year.

As Haishan pulled out the knife, the screams of the big fat pig became smaller and smaller, and finally they were just snorting and there was no sound. Monkey Three added salt to most of the pig's blood, put his hand in, and started stirring.

The pig blood made by Hou San is always tender, elastic and non-sticky.

Lin Hua came out with boiling water and handed it to Haishan to scald the pig hair. At this time, Youcai and Jiazhen came with a few people. Jiazhen's family didn't raise pigs. Her family had money, so they could just buy one.

The purpose of bringing people here is to kill the pigs of Lin Hua's family. Lin Hua's family has four pigs. Lin Fen killed two of them when she got married. Now she kills one herself and sells one to Jiazhen's family, and they are all killed.

When Jiazhen saw Hou San, she felt unnatural for a second or two, and then she acted like a normal person, talking and laughing. Lin Hua thought to himself, this woman is really good at hiding things. If he hadn't seen her with his own eyes, he wouldn't have thought of her.

He has that kind of relationship with Monkey Three.

When the Lin Hua family kills a pig, they invite their neighbors and relatives to have a meal of pig blood. (Pig blood rice is just a name, but actually it means that all year round, relatives and friends are always invited to have a meal after killing a pig.) Jiazhen and the others

They were killed, disemboweled, cleaned, and then carried away on a scale. The scale was only for weighing the meat, and there was no charge for the internal organs.

Hou San and Lin Hua joked: "Hua Zi, you can kill pigs and sell them next year. Once the meat is sold out, you will make a real profit."

"Why don't you kill?"

"I don't have that kind of money."

"After the goods are sold, I'm checking out. What kind of book do I need?"

"No one believes me, who will kill the pig for me?"

"Haha, no one will believe me..."

The two chatted while working, and Lin Hua thought to himself that Hou San said this might not be a good way. Killing a pig in two days and selling it was far better than doing farm work that was tiring to death. After thinking about it, he really had an idea.

I came up with the idea of ​​killing pigs and selling them. Just

If you want to do it, you have to wait until after the Qingming Festival next year, because now every household kills pigs weighing more than 100 pounds to make bacon for the New Year. Some people have eaten the bacon until the Dragon Boat Festival, and no one usually spends money.

Buy pork to eat.

Jiazhen and the others had also killed the pigs. She went into Lin Hua's kitchen to open the water and used it. She happened to meet Lin Hua who also came in to get something. She stopped Lin Hua and asked mysteriously: "Hua Zi,

When are you going to welcome your wife in?"

Lin Hua was a little confused about the situation and asked, "Where do I have a wife?"

Jiazhen pretended to understand everything and said, "Don't deny it. Who doesn't know about your petty tricks?"

Lin Hua thought for a moment. Recently, a woman with a long mouth kept asking roundaboutly about him and Ah Xiang. Did she also know about it? So he said a little embarrassedly: "I haven't asked her family yet. Her family agrees."

Then get married."

Jiazhen twisted her somewhat bloated waist, shrugged her shoulders back, and said to Lin Hua in a reproachful tone: "You, really, I will talk to my husband tonight and see if he agrees.

If he doesn't agree, I'll help you think of a way."

Lin Hua was shocked, and then he realized that Jiazhen was talking about Liping. He stepped forward and covered Jiazhen's mouth, lowered his voice and asked, "Did Liping tell you?" Lin Hua thought that Liping was too cruel.

Well, that day I said it was voluntary and I didn’t care, so I told my sister-in-law.

Jiazhen grunted a few times, took Lin Hua's hand away, coughed for a while and said, "Are you going to choke me to death? What did she tell me? That night I saw her carrying you into the room."

"Keep your voice down, keep your voice down." Lin Hua hurriedly grabbed Jiazhen's hand again, "Don't talk nonsense. I was so drunk that night that she carried me in. Nothing happened to us." Lin Hua

From what Jiazhen said just now, we can conclude that Liping didn't tell her, so she didn't want to admit it. After all, the less people know about this, the better. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if it spread to Ah Xiang's ears.

Jiazhen thought, they all slept in the same room. If nothing happened, it would be fine. So she smiled and said: "Oh, I'm still shy. When will you make it public? My Liping is twenty-six years old. It's too late."

I'm sorry."

"Anyway, don't worry about it, and don't tell anyone. Just mind your and my third brother's affairs." The cunning Lin Hua moved out Hou San.

Sure enough, Jiazhen blushed and stopped talking. She turned around and poured boiling water from the pot head into the bucket one by one.

After a pause, Lin Hua took something, walked to Jiazhen, and whispered: "Like me, never tell anyone, you know." Then he walked out, leaving Jiazhen thoughtful, she

It's strange. This young man is a little shy when it comes to love, but he's not too shy.

Yu wanted to use the incident between her and Hou San as a threat. Besides, she just asked her family for permission to get married, so why did it suddenly become like this? She knew that Lin Hua would not tell anything about her and Hou San, but

Lin Hua must be doing something shameful if he is trying to scare himself like this.

"Jia Zhen, why haven't you fetched water for so long? This pig will be cold later, come out quickly." Youcai urged from outside.

Jiazhen quickly picked up the bucket and went out, shouting as she walked: "It's coming, it's coming, if dust flies into your eyes, just touch it, you will die."
