As soon as Xiao Feng and Xiao Qiang carried a black pig onto the stone platform, Xiao Jinhao walked over with a foot-long pig-killing knife, patted the black pig that couldn't move, shaved off the pig hair at the appropriate lower knife part, and then washed it with water.

The pig blood that will be killed after a while must be immediately filled with pig blood sausage, so the sanitation work must always be in place.

Xiao Jinhao is not only the chief shopkeeper of the famous folk banquet in ten miles and eight townships, but also a veteran of killing pigs and sheep.

The black pig that had been bound in its mouth tried to let out an earth-shattering scream, but it couldn't do anything, and its limbs and body were also firmly pressed on the stone platform by Xiao Feng and others, and it could only helplessly feel the blood and vitality in its body being about to drain.

After a while, the surging pig blood slowly dried up, and the strength of the black pig's struggle approached zero!

"That's it!" Xiao Jinhao waved his hand and motioned for Xiao Feng to carry the dead black pig away.

Next to the pig killing platform, there were already many people ready on the side of a high platform built with bluestone slabs, Xiao Feng had just put the black pig on the high platform, and a scoop of boiling water poured on the pig. Under the action of boiling water, the pores of the black pig's skin expand, and then scrape with a knife, the pig hair and the melanin on the pig's skin fall off in a blink of an eye, and the black pig becomes a white and fat pig.

Xiao Feng doesn't need to interfere in the work of hair removal and disembowelment, and his job today is to be a good porter, a promising profession.

As for the hot pig's blood, it was already pulled by the housewives who were waiting on the sidelines, and began to add glutinous rice milk, Sichuan pepper powder, pepper powder, salt, coriander, chopped green onions and other materials to it. Stir constantly and set aside.

People in the world think that pig blood sausage is a unique dish of pig killing in Northeast China, but they don't know that in southern Yunnan, pig blood sausage is also a very famous delicacy. Moreover, there are many ways to renovate in southern Yunnan, and many ethnic minority areas will also add potatoes, green peppers and other vegetables to the pig's blood sausage, which has a unique flavor.

As a village with the vast majority of the Han population, the method of making pig blood sausage is also decent.

Now that it is getting dark, at least fifty or sixty people have poured into the entire dam, and the closest people to the Xiao family and the cadres of the village committee have all appeared. There is no need for people to assign work, and the whole pig killing scene naturally forms an assembly line operation. It's amazingly efficient.

Carrying black pigs, killing pigs with knives, dehairing, disemboweling, cleaning pig intestines, pouring blood sausages, cooking pig heads and draining, etc. There's something for everyone to find their place.

1o black pigs, Xiao Feng and a few people didn't have to worry about moving them, but they had already been sent to the west by Xiao Jinhao in half an hour, and they were thrown on the high platform with boiling water to remove their hair.

"It's a big scene!" Xiao Qiang shook his somewhat numb hands. Look at so many people on the dam. Some emotion.

In previous years, when pigs were killed for the winter. The Xiao family only killed two or three heads, sometimes only one head was in response to the situation, and there were only ten or eight clansmen and villagers who came to help. Where is it as lively as it is today?

This year, of course, it was because of the large number of pigs killed, but also because the Xiao family had made great contributions to the development of the Jinghu area, so that the clansmen and villagers could see the hope for the future, so they took the initiative to help.

"Then let's just fight on the side, otherwise we will definitely be said to be in the way!"

The main force in the scene of killing pigs for the winter is generally in the prime of life like Xiao Jinhao, who is in the prime of life in their forties and fifties, they are physically and experienced, and their efficiency is naturally much higher than that of a novice like Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng and the others have to work on the side, and they can only be on their own after a few years of training!

After Xiao Jinhao killed all the black pigs, he cleaned the stone platform and began to dismember the black pigs, only to see the boning knife in his hand flying up and down, and a pig was unrecognizable in a blink of an eye.

The first to cut off the pig's head dehairing, deboning and other processes, are taken over by experienced veterans in the village, the braised pig's head meat is delicious, but quite troublesome!

The limbs of the pig were carefully cut along the joints by Xiao Jinhao and put aside for later use, which is the most important item to kill the pig for the winter, curing ham. This is also one of the most important traditional delicacies in Ginkgo Village for hundreds of years, and almost every household has to marinate ham every year, but it will not be as lavish as the Xiao family.

The best pork ribs are also coated with a variety of sauces and smoked into cured ribs, and the best pork belly is naturally treated as the best ingredient for bacon,......。

It can be said that except for a few parts of the whole pig that will be eaten at today's pig killing feast, most of them will be made into various pickled foods and kept for the long winter.

In the past years, due to the lack of refrigerators and other means of preservation, and because of the lack of materials, cured bacon has become an important means for mountain people to maintain the supply of meat. Today, the abundance of goods in the market and the popularity of refrigerators have not changed this situation, because the preparation of zuò pickled products has evolved into a way of life rather than just a means of helplessness.

"The third master's hand is so cool!" Xiao Feng looked at the boning knife in Xiao Jinhao's hand, and couldn't help but admire.

In the past, when he was in junior high school, Xiao Feng learned the story of 'Ku Ding Solving the Cow', and always thought it was just a fabrication of the ancients, but a few times I saw the scene of Xiao Jinhao's 'Solving the Pig' in his hometown, and only then did he know that this kind of miraculous craftsmanship was preserved.

Xiao Feng felt that Xiao Jinhao's hand could already be called art, and he could show it as a performance to tourists on a specific day in the future.

"The third uncle is worthy of being the most famous chief shopkeeper in Yunxi County!" Xiao Tao nodded on the side and said, "If we go up, we won't be able to get a pig in a day." ”

In the eyes of the older generation of Ginkgo Village villagers, Xiao Jinhao's craftsmanship has become commonplace, and Xiao Tao and Xiao Feng, young people who are rarely in the village, are naturally shocked.

"Fifth brother, the third master's craft of 'solving pigs' can be prepared as a project of Jinghu Company's folk performance, and you can also pay more attention to collecting the stunts of the old people in the village to enrich the company's performance!" Xiao Feng turned his head to Xiao Hai and said, "In addition to the natural scenery, the Mirror Lake Scenic Area should also have more humanistic elements!" ”

Xiao Hai is the second son of the second grandfather Xiao Jinming, ranked fifth in the Xiao family, and he has been teaching in Yuji Town Primary School since graduating from secondary normal school. This time, after the establishment of Jinghu Company, Xiao Hai resigned from his job and entered Jinghu Company as the person in charge of the scenic folk performance project.

Xiao Hai is calm and down-to-earth, otherwise Xiao Feng would not let him enter Jinghu Company as a project supervisor, for Jinghu Company, Xiao Feng's principle is not to run a family business, and he will not deliberately exclude the talents of the family.

"That's a good idea!" Xiao Hai nodded and said, "I will report to Mr. Yang when I go back, and try my best to come up with a complete plan!" ”

Xiao Hai is also studying the advantages of the scenic spot these days, and knows that the so-called 'pure handmade' elements are a factor that attracts tourists in the city, and how to amplify this attraction is a problem that Jinghu Company needs to consider holistically.

…………

As the black pigs were disemboweled, another huge soup pot was also prepared on the side, and the pig bones and pig skeletons that were picked out were thrown inside, and it didn't take long for a rich fragrance to waft out. Unlike feed pigs, which have a sassy smell, these naturally raised black pigs have a more mellow taste and make the mouth water.

A group of housewives led by Aunt Xiao immediately took the pig's intestines and began to clean them; The snow-white lard was chopped up while it was hot and put into the pig's blood that was being prepared. These two steps are quite crucial, if the intestines are not cleaned, it will affect the taste of the pig's blood sausage, and lard can increase the mellow taste of the blood sausage.

Ginkgo Village has been making zuò for hundreds of years, and every link and step has a very strict standard for making zuò, and the old people have extremely rich experience.

The main force in the work of filling pig blood sausage is the women's army of Aunt Xiao, but young people like Xiao Feng are often called around by their mothers-in-law and aunts as small workers. Moreover, these married mothers-in-law and aunts are very powerful, making fun of young people like Xiao Feng as if they were playing, so that Xiao Feng didn't dare to resist.

The lively scene of killing pigs for the winter has also attracted the attention of many tourists, who hold their cameras on the dam to shoot this rare scene in the city, which allows them to feel the beautiful scenery of Jinghu Lake in autumn and at the same time be able to go deeper into the lives of the villagers of Ginkgo Village.

As the host, Xiao Feng decided to leave these tourists at home to eat, the people in the mountains are hospitable, and when it comes to such a lively occasion, it is impossible to say that there are no guests to eat.

It took less than 4 hours for 1o black pigs to be cleaned, and the materials for the development of smoked products have been cleaned out, and after lunch, you can start making zuò.

At this time, the time had just come to ten o'clock in the morning, and the golden sun shone on everyone, like a thin layer of gold leaf, shining with joy.

Xiao Jinhao, as a well-known shopkeeper, naturally has rich experience in making this kind of village banquet, and under his command, everyone took action and performed their duties to prepare for the sumptuous pig killing feast.

The mountain people love to sing, especially in this joyful and festive scene, and I don't know who started it, the high-pitched and loud mountain song of the mountain man suddenly sounded, echoing among the mountains. The girl in the mountains is naturally not to be outdone, like a lark's clear voice sounding leisurely, without a trace of fireworks.

Soon, all kinds of wonderful mountain songs sounded on the whole dam, and slowly the tourists who watched also joined in, and various popular love songs also appeared frequently, and everyone's faces were filled with happy smiles.

At twelve o'clock at noon, Xiao Jinhao led the villagers to make a pig killing banquet that was finally completed, and 1o tables were neatly placed on the dam, on which various dishes full of rural characteristics were placed, making the mouth water.

The clansmen, villagers and tourists who came to help, hundreds of people got together and began to enjoy the country food! (To be continued......)
