"Cluck, cluck. Grandma heard the cry of the hen, and found a bloodshot egg from the chicken nest, and said happily in her mouth: "This year, the spring is early, and the chicken lays eggs early, and it is only the seventh day of the first month to lay eggs." So saying, he grabbed a handful of corn from the house and threw it to the hen that laid the eggs. A flock of chickens immediately gathered around and grabbed food on the ground.

On the seventh day of the first month, he sent the god of fire, and after lunch, his grandfather tied torches to his brothers and sisters, and the wooden sticks more than one meter long were tied with soybean straw and wheat straw, and the elder brother also found two small cannons and stuffed them inside.

Grandma asked her mother to make dumplings with Zhuang bread, and asked Grandma leisurely: "Grandma, what is Zhuang Noodles?"

"Wheat, beans (soybeans), sorghum each a three mixture, sorghum with boiling water to roll to remove astringency, so that the grinding of the noodles is strong, rolling noodles and dumpling skin is not cracked, the New Year is specially grinded. ”

The wisdom of the masses of the people is infinite, and the masters are among the people. Yoyo felt that he was the truth, in fact, he tried to eat as much as possible when there was less wheat.

Taking advantage of the fact that grandma and mother were not paying attention, Yoyo secretly took out a bag of one kilogram of dumpling flour from the space, poured it into the dough urn containing Zhuang noodles, and took a rolling pin and stirred it to mix.

was seen by grandma, and hurriedly came over to stop it: "Little ancestor, this is something to eat, you can't play." ”

The dumpling filling is still the rest of the year before the adjustment, this year before the spring (Lichun), after the year to warm up quickly, and then put the fear of taste (deterioration), grandma let the wrap today, the first ten stones will not be eaten.

You secretly added some refined blended oil to the dumpling filling, and the other oil was afraid that grandma would smell the peculiar smell. I'm scared of the baby, is it easy to eat some good baby for you!

Eating dumplings at night, eating dumplings with ingredients in my heart, humming in my mouth: "Our people, I'm really happy today, I'm really happy." ”

provoked the family to laugh, and grandma patted Youyou's head: "Look at your gluttony, but today's dumplings are really delicious." Yoyo listened to the secret laughter, and finally was able to help the family.

As soon as it was dark, my parents led my brothers and sisters to send the fire god. Hantun Village is bordered by the Yellow River in the north, and there are two roads in the east and south out of the village. Dozens of torches lit up near and far on these two roads, like a long fire dragon.

From time to time, there was a "crackling" sound of cannonballs, causing the children to scream in bursts.

The torches vary in size and for a different length of time, but when the ones are burned together, they form a small fire around which people warm themselves, and the farthest one is a mile (half a kilometer) from the village.

In the era of scarce cultural life, it was also a way of entertainment for the rural masses, which was not stopped by feudal superstitious activities.

After the seventh day of the new year, the taste of the new year fades. Grandma and her parents discussed building a pigsty to feed the pigs, saying that Didi was old and could leave, and that she could lead her younger brother to play, and grandma had time to cut pigweed.

From the talk of adults, Yoyo knows that feeding pigs in this era can not only sell money, but also save manure for work, and you can share more food, and the children will eat more when they grow up.

Yoyo patted his chest and promised: "I grow up, I promise to take care of my younger brother." ”

Didi also learned to pat his chest: "I have also grown up, and I promise to follow my sister." ”

Sample, you're guaranteed to have a snack along with it.

You thought of the delicious pork you had eaten during the New Year, so she asked, "Grandma, how many pigs do we feed?"

"It's not easy to feed a few, and raise one. As the old saying goes: the poor don't read, the poor don't feed the pigs. Pigs also have to be full and eat well before they grow fat, and they will not be fed to the 120 kg food station. ”

"Grandma, let's feed the two pigs, my brother and I will also cut the pigweed, and we will kill the pigs after the New Year." Youyou thought about the pig-killing dishes in the Northeast and said what he thought in his heart.

"Little ancestor, you still go to cut pigweed, and you can't carry it in a basket. If you can take care of your brother, you are doing grandma a great favor. ”

Hao Hao spoke: "Grandma, I can cut pigweed after school, let's feed the two, just kill Grandpa Pig and eat more meat." ”

When Didi heard about eating meat, he was excited: "Kill the pig and eat the meat, kill the pig and eat the meat." ”

"Let's feed the two pigs and let me Haohao be filial to my grandfather. Looking at grandpa's relieved smiling face, grandma made a final decision.

Yoyo's inner monologue: I can feed as much as you want.

Dad's good popularity is not blown, in the morning he said that he wanted to build a pigsty, and in the afternoon there were more than a dozen strong laborers who took the initiative to help, and the kung fu pigsty was built in the middle of the afternoon. The pigsty is built on the south side of the sheepfold, far away from the house, so it is cleaner and more hygienic.

At night, Yoyo pestered his grandmother to inquire about feeding the pigs. Originally, during this period, the state encouraged farmers to raise pigs, but they could only be handed over to the state after they were raised.

Other domestic animals are also raised casually, and there is no limit to the number of livestock that farmers can raise, as depicted in the time-traveling novel.

Now people can just eat enough, how can there be food to feed pigs, relying only on pigweed and bran and straw, some of them can not grow 120 catties a year, and many people can't afford to feed them.

It is no wonder that later generations of people miss the taste of meat in the seventies, and the meat that grows in one year and grows in the first quarter can be at the same level, but it is too speechless to not be able to raise it in a year.

The state buys woolly pigs according to the weight of the grade, more than 200 catties is a first-class A (special grade), 0.38 yuan per catty, first-class A three Mao Eight This is how it comes.

More than 160 catties is first-class, 0.36 yuan per catty. More than 140 catties are second-class, 0.34 yuan per catty, and more than 120 catties are third-class, 0.32 yuan per catty.

If it is less than 120 catties, it is not enough to reach the grade, and the state will not accept it. The national supply price of pork is five cents and two cents per catty, and the price is also low, but it is only supplied to urban personnel with non-agricultural household registration, but it is a limited supply, and each person has three taels of meat tickets a month.

Individual families also kill pigs on weddings and funerals, and the remaining meat can be sold in the bazaar for about one dollar per catty.

At night, I lay in the bed, searched for scientific and technological knowledge of pig breeding on the Internet, and was so sleepy that I couldn't open my eyes for a while. This small body is really not powerful, and the young body can't afford to hurt.

"Leader, please rest, I'll make a breeding plan. "Crazy, why did you forget your brain.

"Dear, my family's smart brain is the best, it should be in line with the actual situation here. After you finished speaking, Sa Yazi went to find Zhou Gong.

Early in the morning of the eleventh day of the first month, my grandmother went to Han Daofa's house in the village to catch the little pig seedlings (piglets). His sow gave birth to 9 in a litter a few years ago, and it has been more than 40 days. Youyou saw that his brother hadn't woken up yet, so he hurriedly followed his grandmother.

The spacious courtyard of Han Daofa's house was full of people, and everyone came to catch pig seedlings. Youyou found that the houses in the village were very large, at least more than half an acre.

Han Daofa's daughter-in-law grabbed the piglets in the pigsty and put them in the basket they brought.

She stood up and stood up, Mom, she is really tall, at least more than 1.8 meters, no wonder she is nicknamed "Big One".

Someone joked with her: "Big one, catch the big one for me, as you grow up." ”

"Big One" casually replied: "Can you afford to raise it with me?"

"Hahaha!" the crowd laughed.

"It's true, it's just that the Dao is very capable, and I can support a few of your mothers. ”

The five daughters of the Han Daofa family all followed their mothers, and they were taller than ordinary children, and the eldest daughter, Jingzhi, grew to one meter seven tall when she was only 14 years old.

Grandma walked back with two pig seedlings, and told Youyou the origin of "Big One" on the way.

Han Daofa has been smart and capable since he was a child, not only an only son, but also the only son in the family. His father, Han Yumin, has three brothers, and Han Daofa is a boy, and the people in the village say that he is a family and three families.

The family is better, but he is less than 1.6 meters short, and everyone says that his heart is not long.

His daughter-in-law's family is big and has a lot of food. In five or eight years, she couldn't stand the natural disasters and couldn't stand it, so her family found her in-laws when she was only 15 years old.

Han Daofa's family coveted her tall and hoped that the offspring they would give birth to would be taller, so they married her with two buckets (one bucket is equal to 30 catties) of sorghum as a bride price.

But he got his wish, and he gave birth to five daughters in ten years, all of whom were tall and tall, and the villagers jokingly called them "Big One". But the amount of food is larger than that of children, and teenagers can eat four dry food in one meal. The personality is as cheerful and cheerful as their mother, and finally gave birth to a son but followed his father, smart and clever just don't open one.

In order for the children to be fed, the couple sent bean sprouts in summer, grinded tofu in winter, and fed pigs with tofu residue.

Fortunately, his daughter-in-law was strong and helped him pull more than half of the set. The three teenage girls can do it better than the boys, helping their parents inside and out, and the family is busy all day long.

Han Daofa's mother died early, but the two uncles and aunts, both in their sixties, have no children and no daughters, and they can help them a lot, at least they have all the needlework in his family.

"Big One" is also an atmospheric person, not only helping several old people to do heavy work, but also having a delicious taste, and their children have to give the old people a taste if they don't eat, and the three families seem to be a family.

Everyone said that the value of the two buckets of sorghum flowers was the "big one" when they heard a laugh and scold.
