Chapter 131: Killing Pigs
The time soon came to the end of the year, and during this time, Jiang Er, who belonged to Jiangjia Village, was the busiest, and the entire team of people lined up to invite him to come to the door to kill pigs.
Huanxi's family is no exception, their family still raises two pigs this year, looking at the size is not small, one hundred and twenty catties is properly hooked, Song Erzhu has already said that this year a pig is sold, and a pig is left.
In fact, many families in the village have made such a choice, and they found Jiang Er to come over and weigh the two pigs, and they knew in their hearts, and then the pigs should be killed and sold.
ββThe pigs raised by themselves are sold to the commune, if you are unlucky and meet the black-hearted staff, you can't help but be able to give you a few dozen catties, so many people will ask Jiang Er to call him a big name when they kill the pig, so as to rest assured.
People in the village like to join in the fun, and whoever kills a pig will come to see the fun, no, it's the turn of the Huanxi family.
As soon as the two big fat pigs were lifted out of the pigsty, everyone applauded.
"These two pigs are so fat!"
"Yes, at least two hundred pounds away. β
"I can't stop watching. β
β¦β¦
When it really weighs, it's amazing, the black pig is more than 290 catties, and the white pig is actually more than 390 catties!
"Erzhu, which one are you going to kill?" someone asked.
Without waiting for Song Erzhu to answer, someone replied: "It must be killing the black pig, Erzhu loves his daughter, and knows that his daughter likes to eat black pork, so he will leave the black pig every year." β
When everyone thought about it, it was no wonder that Song Erzhu couldn't raise a white pig and a black pig every year, it turned out to be for his daughter.
You know, when everyone chooses a piglet, they are often more willing to choose white pigs, because they grow fast, such as black pigs, which grow slowly, no matter how delicious they are, they will be disliked, after all, no matter what kind of pigs, selling them to the commune is always a price.
Besides, white pork is not bad, it's good to have meat to eat these days, everyone is not heavy on quality.
The Song family's pigs are kept for themselves every year, and they will not be sold except for the people who ask for help to eat a pig-killing meal.
Shen Shu took advantage of everyone's lack of attention, grabbed Huanxi and whispered, "Huanxi, can your pork sell me two catties?"
She was a little embarrassed and said: "We just split up this year, and the two pigs in the family were divided by the eldest and second uncles, so we got some chickens and ducks, and the meat for the New Year became a problem." β
Shen Shu got married in the second half of the year, and she was separated from Zhou Qiyue less than a month after she got married. The Zhou family only has two fat pigs, so the brothers naturally have to have an empty hand.
Huanxi asked strangely: "I remember that several families in the village killed pigs, why didn't you buy them before?"
Hearing this, Shen Shu's face was a little ugly, and she whispered: "It's not my sister-in-law, Qiyue and I have to go to work on weekdays, and we can't catch up with the meat purchase, so I asked her to help, but she obviously promised to help me buy pork, but she took my money and said she forgot." Forget it, she was cheeky and didn't mention the matter of returning the money to me. I'm a bride, and it's not good to mess with my mother-in-law in front of her for this, but I don't dare to ask her to buy meat anymore. She thought about asking her mother-in-law to help, but she thought that her mother-in-law might turn around and entrust this matter to her sister-in-law, so she also stopped thinking about it.
Shen Shu didn't understand, and her sister-in-law Zhou Meixiang didn't know what evil she had fallen into, and she was full of hostility towards her. Obviously, the two of them didn't cross paths before, and it wasn't so aggressive to see her getting along with her two sisters-in-law.
"How many catties of meat do you want to buy?" asked Huanxi.
She is actually not happy to sell pork, don't look at a black pig has a lot of meat, but after eating a pig-killing meal, and then getting some sausage and cured meat or something, in fact, she can't eat much, after all, her father's meal is really not small, and it is really open to eat that no amount of meat is too much.
"Two catties is enough. Shen Shu hurriedly said.
It's good to have two catties of meat for the New Year, Shen Shu has planned it, one catty of wontons, and one catty of braised meat, which will be used to entertain guests in the New Year.
Huanxi nodded and said, "Nacheng, you come later, it will be difficult to explain how many people there are." "She doesn't want to attract other people to sell pork, and when the time comes, you will have one pound and I will have two pounds, and she will have to die.
- Everyone is not stupid, at the same price, when you have black pork, you will definitely buy black pork.
Seeing Shen Shu hurriedly carrying a bag of things back to the next door through the window, Zhou Meixiang pursed her lips and said to Jiang Yuelan, who was doing needlework on the side: "Auntie, Shen Shu seems to have gone to Song's house to buy pork." β
Hearing this, Jiang Yuelan hadn't reacted yet, and the little grandson in the Zhou family's room was already drooling and said, "Will the little aunt make braised pork today?"
"Don't be greedy!" Jiang Yuelan patted her grandson's head, then glared at Zhou Meixiang and said, "You don't fan the flames." β
"Why did I fan the flames?" Zhou Meixiang was unhappy, "Originally, Shen Shu is also an aunt, shouldn't she give her nephew some meat?"
"Anyone can say beautiful things, how many people really do it?" Jiang Yuelan bit the thread and said: "A few of your cousins came over, didn't I hide the good things at home tightly?"
"A-Niang, you ......" Zhou Meixiang was a little angry and said: "Even if she doesn't give it to her little nephew, then she should honor you and her father." β
"It is her intention to be filial or not, but if she takes the initiative to come to the door to beg for food, it will be you who will be embarrassed. Jiang Yuelan wondered what was going on with her daughter, it seemed that it was especially aimed at the third family.
If there is something wrong with the third family, she looked at it coldly for a few months, although the third family is not comprehensive, but there is no place to talk to people except for the dowry.
said that she would buy meat today, and she dared to say that the third family would definitely bring it to the door for the old couple. Maybe not much, just a small bowl, but it's also a heart.
The girl always said that the third family was stingy, and asked her to say that the third family lived like this.
After all, it was said when the family was separated, and the two of them followed the boss, and the work done also belonged to the old family. In this way, in fact, it is the default that the eldest and the eldest couple will provide for their old age. At least, that's how it should have been when they weren't seriously ill.
Therefore, even if the third family doesn't send anything on weekdays, others can't say anything.
Besides, although the eldest and the two will not come to eat the meat of the third and the third to honor them, the grandson will inevitably follow suit. Even, the older generation always feels sorry for their grandson, and if there is a good one, they will save it for their grandson, bring a small bowl of meat, and in the end, most of it will go to the grandson's stomach.
Comparing her heart to her heart, she is not willing to be too generous herself.
My daughter-in-law will use big truths to oppress people, but I don't even know this little truth. It turned out to look okay, but now it seems that this kind of temperament, how can I go to my mother-in-law's house in the future?
