The end of the year is approaching, and all those who are out are back, even if they haven't come back yet, they are still on their way back. A year's rush and fatigue have to be put down at this time, no matter how hard people will feel happy at this juncture.

Young people who go out to work do not go home all year round, but they must come back once at the end of the year, even if they are thousands of miles away, even if the place where they work needs to work overtime, or if they are given high wages, they will come back.

The Chinese New Year is a big event, and every Chinese should care about the festival.

On the twentieth day of the lunar month, most of the people in the village came back, Chen Shi's cousins and cousins came back, the uncle and aunt also came back, and of course, the tiger of the aunt's family.

After going to school in the county, Huzi completely changed his appearance, no longer tiger-headed, looking very spiritual, handsome and handsome, giving people a sunny and innocent feeling, of course, he is also a lot smarter, after all, the quality of teaching in the county is much higher than in the village.

Chen Shi's family killed pigs, so many people came early in the morning, the aunt and mother took a group of women to cook, and the father and Chen Shi led everyone to start killing pigs.

The work of killing pigs is simple and complicated, if you do it casually, everyone will, but if you want to be meticulous and delicate, then you can't do it without a certain amount of experience.

In addition to a butcher, of course, other people need to help to kill pigs, otherwise, it is estimated that it will take a day for a person to get a pig.

Starting from killing the pig, it is necessary to boil water to scald the hair, scrape off the surface of the oily skin, and by the way, pluck all the pig hair, and then a pig becomes white and tender, and then disembowelment and clean up the contents of the house.

Although there is no treasure on this pig, for the farmer's family, the pig is full of treasures.

From the beginning of the pig killing, pig blood can not be wasted, you can make a lot of delicious food, such as blood tofu, with pig blood and tofu stirred and dried and stored, when you want to eat a little bit. Of course, pig blood can be boiled and eaten directly after coagulation, which is also a beautiful food, and the scientific name is Xuewang.

The things on the pig's head are also very good, from the pig's ears to the tongue, as well as the pig's brain, etc., are delicious, but there must be a certain amount of craftsmanship, otherwise, the pig's head is not so delicious, because the meat on the pig's head is more complicated, its uneven surface is difficult to clean, if one is not careful, it will definitely leave pig hair.

The pig's neck is a good place, which is a good meat for making braised pork, and it is not worse than the pig's butt. The pork leg is probably the most well-known place, starting from the trotters to the base of the thighs, everywhere is exceptionally delicious and good meat. Needless to say, Chen Shi remembered that when he was a child, he stewed pig's trotters at home, and then the old man always told the child that the little baby could not eat the hoof, otherwise he would not be able to marry a wife when he grew up, he didn't understand what it meant at the time, and it was only now that he suddenly understood, just because the pig's trotters were so delicious, the old people unknowingly made up a lie to scare the child.

Pork legs can be made into ham, and the ham in the county is very famous, and it is said that it is exported to other provinces, even in the capital and other places.

On the pig, Chen Shi's favorite thing to eat is not the pig's head or the pig's legs and trotters, when he was a child, his favorite was the pig's tail, but the old man said that he would shake his head and shake his head after eating the pig's tail, and he was not allowed to eat, so he rarely ate the pig's tail, and later he found that the pig's kidney was very wonderful.

Pork kidneys are like two big red beans, the appearance looks beautiful, the meat is also delicious, since, it is not fat meat or ordinary lean meat, in short, there is a taste that can not be said, chewing is very vigorous, and the old people have no taboo when eating pork kidneys, whatever you eat, they don't seem to like this thing.

In terms of internal organs, pork liver is best used for wine, the heart and lungs are finely chopped and fried and then stored, and it is very good to use as a base when eating hot pot, and the large intestine and small intestine are not the same. The large intestine can be boiled directly and made into fat intestines, and the small intestine is particular. Chen Shijia's way of eating it is to first plate it up and make it into an arm-thick barrel, then develop it with salt and then smoke it dry, cook it first when eating, and finally cut it into slices, and then stir-fry it, which is definitely a delicious dish.

The intestines are delicious, but they are hard to get. It is extremely difficult to kill the pig from the beginning, first of all, there is pig feces in each section of the intestine, which must be turned over first, then washed with hot water, and then scraped off the surface, which is only a preliminary treatment, and there are many cleaning procedures after that.

Chen Shi was assigned by his father to clean the pig's large intestine, he was reluctant, but there was no way, if he didn't go, what would others think? After all, this is your own slaughter of pigs, if you don't like dirty, of course others are not willing to help you.

There is oil on the large intestine of the pig, before the oil must be removed, this stage must be careful, if you accidentally break the intestine will be bad, you can imagine, all the filth flows to the surface, all the oil is polluted if you can't eat it at all. Therefore, at this stage, you must be careful and careful, slowly remove the oil, and then turn the intestines inside and out, so that you can clean, and after rinsing off the surface of the filth with water, you can scrape off the layer of yellow and dirty things in the intestines, and after these are treated, you can store them, and then clean them when you eat.

There is also a special need to turn the intestines, and one person can't get it, because one needs to take the lead, one to lead the tail, and then use a stick to race the head out of the intestines, so that the inside and outside are reversed, so that all the filth will flow out, and there is no need to worry about contamination to the outside of the intestines, and you must be careful at this stage.

Chen Shi and his cousin worked together to make intestines, and the two of them used a big dustpan to carry the intestines to the edge of the thatched house, and poured the filthy things into the thatched house by the way, otherwise it would be too stinky if it was thrown directly on the road.

Chen Shi pulled his head, his cousin pulled his tail, and then Chen Shi stuffed his solid head into it with a stick, so that when he poked it, the filth would flow out of the tail, and the last thing that flowed out was the head, and then he pulled the head and walked forward gently, and the inside and outside of a intestine would be turned over.

Chen Shi said to his cousin, "It stinks. ”

The cousin smiled and said, "What's the smelly point? When you eat it, you will say it's delicious." ”

Chen Shi nodded and said, "That's right, this delicious thing is not necessarily a good thing, especially before it is made into food, it is definitely not a good thing." ”

The cousin said, "I see that some people even got urine bags to eat, do you want them?"

Chen Shi hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't want the urine bag, feed the dog!"

The cousin suddenly pointed to the front, and Chen Shi looked up and saw that Huzi had already brought the urine bag to play.

I don't know where Huzi found an air pump, and then inflated the urine bag and tied it up, so it became a balloon. The main thing is that this balloon is very durable, and Huzi did not use it as a balloon, but as a weapon.

I saw him tie the urine bag on a stick, and then chase his playmate, the urine bag hit the head will not be a big deal, but the children are very scared, they all run away, the tiger is like a tiger, all the friends dare not approach him, but he shows off everywhere.

The first time Chen Shi saw such a play, he didn't have this treatment when he was a child, he remembered that when he was a child, the pig urine bag was eaten by the dog, and he didn't even have a chance to see it.

Chen Shi laughed and said: "This tiger is too naughty, he is too bad, it is all oil when he hits people, and it is strange that the children are not afraid." ”

In fact, the children are not afraid, everyone is knowing, even if they are beaten, it is not a big deal, but children play like this, knowing that it does not hurt or hurt, but they have to pretend to be afraid, this is also one of the nature of children, if now, Huzi takes a urine bag to beat Chen Shi, he will not feel anything, but the child is different, even if there is no problem, he will feel that he has suffered a loss.

The cousin said, "I know some people who wash their urine bags and fry them directly. ”

Chen Shi said: "Aren't they disgusting?"

The cousin laughed and said, "You don't understand this, what is the difference between the urine bag and the large intestine? One is filled with urine and the other is filled with rice fields, both are filthy things, can you compare one to the other? Can you distinguish which one is cleaner?"

Chen Shi was speechless, thinking about it carefully, it was really like this, but he just didn't get used to it, maybe it was just a custom he had developed since he was a child, he felt that the urine bag was dirtier since he was a child, but he never thought that the large intestine was actually dirtier, and if he didn't eat the urine bag, he just hadn't eaten it, as for how he could develop such a habit? Maybe his ancestors didn't like to eat urine bags, thinking that this thing was not delicious.

It took my cousin and him an hour or two to get the large and small intestines ready, and when the two of them finished the intestines, a pig was basically done, but there was one last procedure, which was to marinate and finally smoke and dry to become bacon.

The pickling is very simple, that is, salt is applied on it, of course, spices are added, but Chen Shijia does not have this habit, just use salt directly. Other spices can be added when stir-frying meat. After applying salt, it should be placed in the cauldron for three or five days, and the moisture will be automatically taken out, and then hung on a high place, and a fire is made from below to smoke and roast, and there are also directly placed under the sun to expose to the sun, but the sun in the southwest is not so good, especially in winter, therefore, most of them are smoked with fire.

It takes two people to marinate the meat, but Chen Shi's family invited nearby neighbors to come and help, so it didn't take four or five people to get it in a while. After the pork is marinated, a pig is done, and there is nothing to do, just wait for dinner.

Of course, eating is the most important thing, and at the end of the year, isn't it just to have a good meal during the New Year? Isn't it just to share it with everyone?

Therefore, Chen Shi's door can be lively, the villagers, everyone helps each other, the men kill the pigs, the women cook, the children are the first to eat, from fresh lean meat to pork ribs, every dish is so delicious, you can smell the fragrance from afar.
