Chapter 487: The wailing begins
It snowed heavily for three days, and it gradually cleared up on the fourth day, and during these snowy days, Lin Tian's family gathered around the house to roast the fire and did not go anywhere.
During this time, Lin Tian was not completely without harvest, except for a big hare that he ran to the snow early in the morning to catch, he also stumbled upon a pheasant that was about to freeze.
These two unlucky little animals unsurprisingly became the meal on the plate of Lin Tian's family.
After the sun came out, the villagers began to come out one after another, and the village chief also organized the villagers to clear the snow on both sides of the road, so that it was convenient for vehicles to travel.
After many days of getting along, many people in the village knew Lin Tian, and they were all very enthusiastic, after all, they all lived in the village since they were children, and almost every family had been there when they were young, so the villagers knew that it was Lin Tian who came back, and they were all very enthusiastic.
By noon, when the snow on both sides of the road had been cleared, a three-wheeled motorcycle drove towards the village and stopped in front of a family on the west side of the village.
Immediately, five or six big men got out of the back of the motorcycle, and at the same time the car was carrying some tools......
"Looking at the formation, could it be that you are going to kill pigs?" Lin Tian suddenly thought of something, the last time he drove to the street with his grandfather, he heard Uncle Qing in the village say that there was a family in the west of the village who wanted to kill pigs, but it had snowed heavily in the past few days, and the killing of pigs must have been postponed.
Afterwards, Lin Tian saw someone from the family come out and talk to a few big men, because it was too far away, he didn't know what they were talking about, and soon, the owner of the family invited these big men into the house.....
The owner of the family is also familiar with his own family, and usually his grandfather will go to his house to play cards, but Lin Tiancai came back a few days ago, even if many people in the village know him, but he doesn't know many people, after all, he hasn't seen him for so many years, and it is impossible to know all of them at once.
"Grandpa, it seems that someone in the west of the village is going to kill a pig. Lin Tian walked into the house and said to his grandfather who was roasting the fire.
"That's your Uncle Ma's house, it seems that he killed a pig today, and he told me in the morning. Grandpa opened his mouth.
"I see, no wonder I saw a few people driving motorcycles to his house. Lin Tian thought for a while and said.
"Those few people driving motorcycles, the one who took the lead should be Zhang Yidao!" said Grandpa.
When Lin Tian heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand who this Zhang Yidao was, so he asked, "Grandpa, who is this Zhang Yidao?"
Grandpa smiled when he heard this, and then said: "This Zhang Yidao is the best person in killing pigs in more than ten nearby villages, and his ancestors are all specialized in killing pigs, and now the skills have passed to him, this Zhang Yidao is a good hand in killing pigs, as long as a knife goes down, it won't be long before the pig will die." ”
"It's amazing. Lin Tian said on his lips, but he didn't think so in his heart. Originally, Lin Tian thought that there was something different about this Zhang Yidao, but who knew that it was like this. According to Lin Tian's idea, killing a pig is naturally to find the right place, such as the arteries on the pig's body, and after finding it, it will go down with a knife, even if it is Zhu Bajie, he has to finish playing.
"Xiaotian, don't underestimate the pig killer, there are also ways to kill pigs, in their industry, if the pig is not good or the method of killing is not good, but it will be laughed at by other peers. Grandpa continued.
"And this kind of statement?" Lin Tian was stunned.
In the past, when I was a child when I killed pigs in the village, adults didn't let children go to see them, and they were either locked in the house, or they drove the children to the next village to play, and then called them back after kicking and killing the pigs, so Lin Tian was a little interested in killing pigs for the first time.
"The people who kill pigs, they "hold the knife", the technique must not only be clean and sharp, but also do not "spoil" useful things, the pig's meat and head, hooves, internal organs, blood, bones and other parts are well organized, classified, each for its own use, if a good master "palm the knife", can also kill five catties of meat......" Grandpa continued to explain.
"Well, I'll take a look in the afternoon. When Lin Tian heard this, he immediately became interested.
Grandpa was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, now that you have grown up, it doesn't hurt to go and see it." ”
When the villagers finished their lunch one after another.......
The west end of the village began to be lively, first someone began to build an earthen stove in the wide area in front of Uncle Ma's house, and then put a large iron pot on it, just like the kind of big pot dishes used to be fried in the school.
The iron pot was filled with water, and then the fire was started with dried pine wood underneath......
At this time, some people began to build wooden shelves, tie them with thick hemp rope, and fix them, and then wait, and when the water boiled, they could start killing the pigs.
At this time, there were many people around the scene, many young people and the elderly at home gathered here to watch, but there were no children.
Lin Tian also walked over there at this time, and when he saw many elders, he also greeted them one by one, and after the people in the village saw Lin Tian coming, they naturally couldn't help but have a conversation.
"Hey, Xiaotian, come and see kill the pig. An older elder said towards Lin Tian.
"Yes, Uncle Luo, I haven't seen it since I was a child, but now I feel very fresh, so I'll take a look. Lin Tian replied with a little bit.
"That's right, the tradition in our place is that children can't watch the killing of pigs, according to the older generation, even if killing pigs is too cruel and bloody, it will not have a good effect on children. Uncle Luo continued.
"Yes, I also think that after all, children's hearts are not mature, and it is better to see less rural activities such as killing pigs. Lin Tian nodded.
Uncle Luo spoke first, and naturally Sister-in-law Zhao, third aunt, second uncle, Li Ye, etc....... came up to talk one after another, Lin Tian replied one by one, and after chatting for a long time, the big iron pot on the earthen stove boiled.
Seeing this, several masters who were ready to kill pigs prepared the toolbox, and then put the board on the ground from the motorcycle, and then there was a large wooden basin that could hold the size of the whole pig, which was called the pig killing pot in the countryside.
Ready to go.....
Five or six people went to the pigsty in the side room of Uncle Ma's house, and after a while, Lin Tian heard the sound of pigs, and soon, a big white pig with long hair was driven out by these big men.
At this time, several big men pressed the big white pig to the ground and tied up the pig's hind hooves with a very strong rope. The pig began to scream, realizing that it was going to be killed, and it kept struggling, but to no avail......
After tying the pig's trotters, many people pulled ropes from behind, pulled the pig up in its entirety, and hung it on the wooden frame that had been erected earlier, which was so strong that the big white pig could not break free no matter how hard he struggled.
The big white pig hangs upside down on the shelf, with its head still a certain distance from the ground, and a large basin is placed underneath......
At this time, a man with a pig-killing knife appeared in front of the big white pig......
