Approaching the Chinese New Year, Zhangjiazhai is also more lively, all kinds of festive atmosphere begins to brew, and you can always hear the sound of firecrackers, breaking the tranquility of this beautiful small mountain village.

Zhang Youcai was sharpening knives at the door of his house, while his daughter-in-law was boiling water in the house, and several men were busy next to him. Around, there is a large group of onlookers.

Zhang Fan was speechless when he saw the enthusiastic appearance of those tourists, isn't it just killing pigs?

In the past, the killing of pigs in the countryside was a big deal for the family, because the pig was the main property of the family. Killing pigs means income and can also improve food.

"Is the water boiling?" Zhang Youcai shouted into the room.

Killing pigs requires boiling water, while killing cattle is just the opposite, which is a common sense.

The main thing is that pig killing requires shaving, so boiling water is needed, such as killing chickens, and boiling water is used for plucking. Killing cattle is different, killing cattle directly skinned.

Zhang Youcai used to be a pig killer and was famous from far and near.

In these rural areas of Zhangjiazhai, many families will raise three or two pigs, which not only have meat to eat during the Chinese New Year, but also an income.

But since Zhang Fan returned to his hometown, everyone has made a fortune by planting vegetables. Raising pigs has become a burden, and after this year's domestic pigs are killed, they do not plan to raise pigs in the future.

"Come on, wait a little longer. His daughter-in-law replied.

After hearing this, a few men on the side consciously walked towards Zhang Youcai's pigsty, ready to drive the fat pig out and prepare to kill the pig.

Later, a group of people followed, and when they saw the fat pigs still sleeping in the pigsty, the tourists couldn't help laughing. Pigs are indeed full and sleep, and there are no sorrowful creatures, and they do not know that their end is coming.

"Which one to kill first?" a villager asked Zhang Youcai.

"The fattest one out there. ”

Tourists can't help but laugh: "This is the legend: people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong?"

They opened the pigsty door and kicked the big fat pig that was still snoring. I saw that people didn't move, their eyelids didn't lift, and the simple pig's head was still smiling, and I didn't know what kind of dream I was doing.

"Rip your ears. Zhang Youcai said.

He was not polite to his pigs, and he grabbed a pig's ear and pulled it.

This time, it finally disturbed the sweet dream of the fat pig, and when he woke up, he saw two people pulling his ears, and immediately screamed and screamed in pain. The cry of the pig is very penetrating, as if it immediately realizes its fate, and it screams so badly!

"Before I even showed the knife, I screamed so badly. ”

The other pig was also awakened and immediately hid in the corner and shivered.

The fattest pig was forcibly pulled out, and I saw it struggling and screaming at the same time, and the scene made the onlookers cry out freshly.

Many of them have never witnessed the process of killing pigs, but now that they look at it, it is naturally very fresh. The fat pig screamed while struggling, and he didn't feel cruel.

There are no virgin present, everyone eats pork, and they also spray pigs cruelly, which is too inauthentic.

Zhang Youcai hooked the pig's throat with a hook, and the others pulled their legs and ears, and when the pig was almost consumed, they pressed it down, and the throat was stabbed down to bleed.

Someone next to him hurriedly took out a large wooden bucket and placed it under the pig's neck to wait for blood.

In bloodletting, it is necessary to hold it down at this time, and the pig will struggle desperately from time to time, and pig blood is also a delicacy. These pig blood are very useful, and there is no one in the countryside who does not eat pig blood.

"Fresh pig blood, send me some later. A villager said.

Pig blood is also called blood tofu, but it is used to be called pig red in the south, and there are many auspicious celebrations. Pig red is a very cheap health food, it has a high content of protein, iron, zinc, cobalt, etc., and a very low fat content, so it has the effect of enhancing physical fitness, nourishing blood and beauty, preventing hyperlipidemia, and delaying aging.

Like them in Zhangjiazhai, the most common way to eat pig red is to cook it into pig red soup, the ingredients are very simple, pig red is then mixed with chives, ginger, coriander, white pepper and rolled well, it is a bowl of hot and spicy soup.

In the past, when Zhang Fan was studying in the provincial capital, almost every stall selling beef offal or spicy hot shop could see the shadow of pig red.

The adults in their Zhangjiazhai all know that eating pig red can remove dust. In other words, when vacuuming a lot, it is good to eat some pig blood.

Among the onlookers, a tall woman with a northeastern accent spoke: "In our hometown, pig blood can be used as blood sausage, but it is delicious." ”

"Sister, Northeast, right? I've been to Northeast to eat before, and it's really okay. ”

Blood sausage is the traditional food of the northerners, when slaughtering pigs and sheep, use a large basin to fill some salt water to receive blood, and then stir the blood to make it not coagulate, mix with minced lard and onion, salt, ginger powder, pepper and other seasonings and then enema, tie it tightly and bundle it tightly, put it in the pot and cook it.

Slice it and eat it hot, or put the white meat of the blood sausage at the same time when making sauerkraut, the blood sausage tastes strong and fragrant, oily but not greasy.

After the bloodletting, Zhang Youcai's daughter-in-law brought out the boiled water. Several men poured spoonfuls of scalding water on the dead pig, poured it over again, and began to shave with knives.

Their movements are very skillful, and the fat pig, which was originally dirty, became white and fat after being scraped, full of beauty, and many people were taking pictures.

"Brother, take a group photo for me. A young man spoke.

Zhang Fan listened, and almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of blood.

Is this a multi-flavor? Take a picture with a dead pig.

The people around him were also dumbfounded, expressing their lack of appreciation for the young man's actions.

I saw that the guy walked over and deliberately tore the pig's mouth a little: "Brother pig, laugh one." ”

Then, he began to hold the clean pig's head in one hand and a scissor hand in the other, and quickly put on a smile that he thought was very handsome.

"Ahem!" Zhang Fan said that the picture was too beautiful to watch.

"I'll you!"

"Brother, you ......"

"Worship!"

……

It was obviously a bloody scene, but it was made into a comedy scene by these people, Zhang Fan was quite speechless.

Subsequently, the pig was opened and the intestines and internal organs were dug out, and many people, especially women, suddenly ran more than half, which was really disgusting.

"These are the real pork belly, you see the quality of the meat, the texture of the meat is really good. "Someone is still pointing at the side with relish.

Strange to say, the pigs raised here have a beautiful texture like some high-quality beef.

Boss Zhu from Zhangjiazhai Hotel ran over: "Lao Zhang, how about giving me half of the pig?"

Zhang Youcai didn't even ask about the price, and directly waved his hand to refuse: "No, it's not enough." My family will definitely be on the side, and I will send a claw to Xiaofan's family later. The others are also pre-ordered. ”

Here in Zhangjiazhai, one paw of pork is a quarter, all with legs.

Zhang Fan did not refuse, and said with a smile: "Thank you! ”

"Thank you, thank you, it's not you, who in our village is not poor haha, you kid don't talk to me about money. Zhang Youcai directly blocked Zhang Fan's mind to give money.
