Chapter 17 Wax Moon
After a month of busyness, Lin Wenshan's hand-fried dry goods business gradually opened up sales, and there were already a few people in the city looking for him to wholesale, so he no longer had to go to the city to sell them himself. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
To be honest, Lin Wenshan is still a little unable to wipe off his face, others are too real, he can't play tricks in business, and his mouth is not sharp enough, if it weren't for his mother to go to the city with him, the business would not be able to do it, and now his income has increased a lot day by day.
Because of the cold weather, Lin Ziqing began to become a little bedridden, and the warm quilt was the best enjoyment for her.
She slept until three o'clock in the middle of the night, when she was suddenly awakened by a piercing howl, and there was a miserable pig cry from the patio outside the room, and the shouts of several adults.
"Is this going to kill a pig?" Anyway, she was woken up, so she simply didn't sleep, crawled out of the bed, put on a thick cotton coat, cotton pants, and shoes, she walked to the windowsill, opened the window, and just saw the patio courtyard in front.
There were already more than a dozen people standing in the courtyard, the adults who lived in the courtyard were there, and there was a row of tools for killing pigs hanging on the walls of the hall, which was a little scary.
The fat pig raised by her family was being pressed on the pig killing stone by the third uncle and four or five of them, probably because the fat pig finally knew that he was dying, and struggled desperately and howled.
After such a struggle, the uncle and the five big men felt a little unbearable, and the pig killer standing next to him did not look at it, and the knife was pierced through the neck, and an enamel basin was received under the pig's neck to catch the pig's blood, and salt was placed in it.
Because of the struggle of the big fat pig, the pig killer's face was splashed with a lot of blood, and the blood spots on his face looked a little terrifying, plus the long pig-killing knife with hot blood after it was pulled out, it was still very scary, fortunately, Lin Ziqing's heart age was an adult, if it was really a child, it would be scared.
The pig's blood was taken into the kitchen by Tan Liyun, cleaned up slightly, and put it in a large iron pot to steam.
In the patio there is a large wooden barrel made by the third uncle's family, with a diameter of more than 2 meters, which is specially used to burn pig hair after killing. Several people worked together to carry the big fat pig to the big wooden barrel, and the boiling water was placed in the wooden barrel. Lin Wenshan put a big wooden board behind the barrel, which is a little familiar, as if it is the door of his own house where he puts grain......
The big fat pig was placed on it, and the two of them began to shave hard, and there was a "swish" sound.
After shaving the pig's hair, the pig killer began to slaughter the pig, cut off the head, separate the belly, take out the pig offal, and then hang it on a large hanging hook in the hall, and began to divide the meat, the pork was cut off by a long strip of meat five fingers wide, a pork rib, and two pig's feet were unloaded and packed in the big bamboo basket that usually filled the rice, and if you can't eat it later, you can use the jar to pickle it.
The pig killer only decomposed half of it, and the other half was to be transported to the market street as soon as possible to sell, this pig is really not ordinary fat, with four fingers of fat, not worried about not being able to sell at a high price.
The third uncle and Lin Wenshan and the pig killer put half a fan of pork into the big bamboo basket, and then took a large scale with a length of 1.5 meters, after the scale was good, the third uncle reported, "Good guy, this pig is fat, one hundred and thirty-six catties, this is half a fan of meat, if it all adds up to more than three hundred catties, Wenshan, how did you raise it, what do you give the pig to eat, it will be so big in a year." "At this time, many people's pigs can't grow to 200 catties, no wonder they have this doubt.
"I read the book, according to the book on the pig raising method, each meal to the pig added half a spoon of pig feed, the feed is to the city feed company store to buy back!" Lin Wenshan replied with a smile.
"The pigs that eat the feed grow so fast, I'll buy some next time!" The people around the station are echoed, at this time people do not know that although the pig that eats the feed is fat, but the meat quality is not as good as the pig that grows up purely eating pig vegetables, everyone usually eats not much oil and water, only think that the pig grows fat, and the meat is good.
Time passed quickly, the sky was already a little bright, and the sound of several people steaming and cooking began to come out of the kitchen.
Lin Wenshan killed pigs early, and it was the turn of his uncle and his family in the next step, and the people who lived in a yard also wanted to kill pigs, and there were about ten days of this month to kill pigs to eat, and the happiest people were probably the children.
At 6 o'clock in the morning, the meals were all ready, and the people were all there one after another, Tan Liyun began to call Lin Ziqing to get up, opened her door, and found that Lin Ziqing had already gotten up, so she took Lin Ziqing to wash her face and brush her teeth.
There are five round tables in the hall in the courtyard, full of people, everyone is very interested, the children are even more smiling and toothless, and the table is already full of pig killing dishes of the ancient town.
Pig-killing dishes are made of pork, pig intestines, pig blood, celery, green garlic, tofu, red pepper, etc., fragrant, salty, fresh, spicy, the taste is very rich, and the beauty is indescribable. A large pot of braised pork knuckles, with a large pot of fried pork ribs with green garlic, pork liver soup on the table, the soup is added with minced pine mushrooms, the color is golden, the aroma is lingering, the name is "golden soup", the taste is very delicious. Today's dry rice is also fragrant and delicious. Different from the rice stewed in the rice cooker of later generations, the rice steamed in large wooden barrels is puffy and chewy, and it also reveals the fragrance of cedar.
As soon as it was served, everyone didn't care about talking, and the bowls were full of Dengdeng's dishes, busy eating with the dishes, and the whole family had a meal, and the friendship was harmonious.
Laba has also passed, and the pig-killing rice has not been eaten in turn these days, and Lin Ziqing and her sisters are also on winter vacation.
In the blink of an eye, the weather was good on the twentieth day of the lunar month, and the women in the yard began to take the wooden pot lids, dining tables, and benches at home to the patio to scrub them, and after washing, they put them outside to dry slowly in the sun.
When these are done, the house will be cleaned up. As soon as the New Year passes, everyone basically won't be doing anything, busy preparing things for the New Year.
Just when everyone was preparing for the previous year, Lin Wenzhong, the lobby uncle who worked in the city, came back, carrying large bags of New Year's gifts.
He was accompanied by a very fashionable woman, who was wearing a dark brown wool coat with a fox fur collar, a pair of leggings underneath, and delicate lambskin boots, and was tall and 1.68 meters. Her hairstyle was permed with the big wavy curls that were popular in this era, the eyebrows on her face were exquisitely trimmed, and her lips were painted with lipstick.
As soon as she came to the compound from the gate of the ancient town, she attracted a group of curious people, both women and children, who wanted to see whose guests were coming.
"This is the eldest son of Lin Dewang's family, and it looks like he is back with his girlfriend!" All the people in the courtyard came out.
"I'm coming back to see my parents, probably getting engaged!" There was a mother-in-law of the neighbor next door who followed into the courtyard, and asked the daughter-in-law of the Li family who was standing next to her curiously.
"It must be, I brought it home at this time, and eighty percent of it was for marriage." The daughter-in-law of the Li family said while holding the melon seeds
"This Lin Dewang's eldest son is capable, looking at this girl's appearance and temperament, she looks like a young lady who is an official!" Someone else interjected
"Maybe it's the daughter of the big boss's family in the city, look at the dress, it costs a lot of money, tsk......" This is the daughter of the Li family with an envious tone
A large crowd of people began to talk about it.
Lin Wenzhong put everything on the inside of the door of his parents' room, and was surrounded by a circle of curious people, who kept asking questions.
The uncle's family was also very enthusiastic, happily entertaining everyone, and simply set up two tables in the first patio courtyard, poured boiling water, and took out melon seeds and peanuts for everyone to eat.
