Zhang Tao stopped reading it after watching it for a while, sorted out his things and went to bed. There are some things www.biquge.info that only belong to a certain period of time and a certain environment, and when I look back at it, I can't find the original feeling anymore, and Zhang Tao has no intention of continuing to watch, so it's better to go to bed early and be comfortable. It's getting closer and closer to the Spring Festival, Zhang Tao can't go up the mountain to hunt, because of customs, and his parents don't allow it, so he can only stay at home and play.

"Xiao Tao, what's wrong? Why go to bed without watching TV? Zheng Hu looked at Zhang Tao's reaction and asked his wife, feeling that Zhang Tao's reaction didn't seem to be normal, how could a child at this time not like watching TV?

"He's been like this all this time, and he doesn't usually go to other people's houses to watch TV, he stays at home, so he probably doesn't have any interest in those TVs." Zhang Cuihua turned her head and glanced at Zhang Tao and replied unconcernedly, Zhang Tao has been like this for a long time, and he didn't go to the monkey's house to watch TV before, and there was nothing abnormal.

The TV was not put on very late, and after ten o'clock in the evening, Zhang Cuihua drove Daniel Zhang and Zhang Yan to the room to sleep, and Zhang Tao didn't need her to care, and went back to the room early to sleep. Zhang Cuihua won't let a few children rest so early on the usual holidays, but tonight is different, tonight their family has to kill pigs, and they have to do all these things when they are busy at the end of the year, so they have to get up very early tomorrow morning, and they have to rest early, otherwise they won't be able to get up tomorrow.

At this time, every family in the countryside raises pigs, and there will always be a few families who kill a pig for the New Year, and then the people nearby will say in advance how much meat to keep. And the pigs of the Zhang family were killed before the child, and the days were relatively early, and they were generally killed at the age of twenty-five or six.

Usually when killing pigs, it is generally chosen when the morning is about to dawn, and the butcher who kills the pig will take away the pork left by the main family after killing and dividing it to sell it himself, and he must be in a hurry, and the main family will send the pork to the place where the butcher sells meat. But now it's the New Year, this pig doesn't have to be sent after it is killed, people in their own village can divide a pig, and Zhang Tao's pig is the same, although the days are a little earlier, but this kind of weather is not afraid that the meat will go bad.

Zhang Cuihua picked a good pick this day, it happened to be the night when his village was electrified, so it was much more convenient to kill pigs, no need to use a flashlight to help, just use a wire to hold a light bulb and put it outside, the light is very bright, these Zhang Cuihua have long been ready, and the line has been pulled outside before dark.

The pigs in the pen obviously don't know their fate very well, and after eating enough, they fall asleep on their stomachs after a small fight with the guy in the same pen, and from time to time they will make some satisfied humming sounds, and they didn't expect this meal to be their last meal, and they will ascend to heaven tomorrow.

Before dawn, Zhang Tao was woken up by the sound of talking at home, it was the butcher who killed the pig, and he was drinking tea and chatting at home at the moment. After hearing the voice, Zhang Tao quickly got dressed and washed it, and immediately ran to his stove to boil water first, which is what must be done to kill the pig at this time, and after the pig is killed, it will be scalded with boiling water to shave the pig's hair, and it will not be scalded in a few years, and it will be washed directly with cold water.

Zhang Cuihua was originally going to boil water by herself, but she didn't expect Zhang Tao to know how to do this, and when she saw Zhang Tao coming to help her boil water, she went back to the room and beckoned the butcher to go to the pig pen. The butcher brought an apprentice, plus Zheng Hu, and then followed Zhang Cuihua Four people were enough, and after a few people walked to the pig pen, they first used a flashlight to determine the killing of the pig, and then prepared to get the pig out.

Zhang Tao didn't follow him, he had seen this kind of thing n times, and he was very familiar with it. When killing the pig, the pig is first driven out of the pen, and then the butcher will hook the pig's chin with a special iron hook, and pull it directly on the wooden bench prepared in the morning, and the others will help drag it on the side.

The strength of the pig is actually very large, but because the jaw is hooked by the iron hook, it will be very painful when it struggles to move, so it has to be obediently pulled away, howling loudly all the way, the sound is particularly poignant, in this quiet early morning time can be transmitted far away, and people nearby will be woken up. Daniel Zhang and Zhang Yan in the room were also awakened at this time and climbed up, dressed and ran outside to watch the pig killing.

After the butcher master and apprentice and Zheng Hu and his wife pressed the pig the wooden bench, the butcher on the side let go and bled the pig with a knife. This is exquisite, the pig blood of the pig that is not good to kill will be much less, and the pig is not so easy to die. At the same time, the butcher will be a little particular, as if it is for the pig to give birth or something, Zhang Tao is not very clear about the Tao inside, this is the profession of the butcher.

When the pig's blood flowed out, a large basin filled with salt water had already been prepared next to it, and all of it was catched, and it was put aside to coagulate after receiving it. Pig blood is a good thing, and people in the countryside will put some chopped green onions and ginger after killing pigs, plus some meat bones to cook a big pot of pig blood soup out, and then send a bowl to every family in the village, which is a custom.

When the pig's blood is almost gone, it's time to start shaving. Before shaving, a hole is made in the pig's foot, and then an iron rod is used to pass through the hole. The butcher's apprentice will blow hard from the opening at this time. After the pig's whole body is swollen, it is poured with boiling water, and the rest is to remove the hair - while hitting the pig's bulging body with a wooden stick, and then scalding the pig's body with boiling water and shaving it with a special knife.

After taking off the hair, it was disemboweled, and the contents of the pig's stomach were separated one by one. Pork liver, pig heart, and pork kidney, these are all kept by the master himself, and there is a lot of pig paste. This can be used to fry lard, which is a good thing in the countryside here in Shonan, and lard fried rice is the favorite food of children when they get up in the morning to read. But no one seems to eat this thing in other places, and many people dislike it, at least Zhang Tao knows that people in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and the south don't like these things, and the market sells them very cheaply.

At this time, the butcher cut some good minced meat from the pig and handed it to Zhang Cuihua, Zhang Cuihua took these things and went back to the room with the pig's blood, and she was going to prepare a meal for the butcher. The butcher who kills the pig usually stays at the master's house for a meal after he is done, and after the meal, he will take the pork directly to sell. These minced meats are the most delicious parts of the pigs, and as professionals, they are very familiar with these natures, so these things must be reserved for their own consumption.

After a pig is completely decomposed, Zhang Cuihua has already prepared the meal, there is a special dish in it, called the pig killing dish, fried with dried chili, garlic and ginger, the meat is the minced meat that the butcher made just now, and some pig blood and pig offal or something. This dish is probably the best dish in the eyes of rural children at this time, even if people who are not very good at cooking make it, the taste will not be too bad, and the taste is particularly fragrant.

Zhang Tao and they still have to wait for the butcher to eat before they can eat, this rule will not slowly disappear until Zhang Tao reaches junior high school in the countryside, at that time women and children eat with guests, and no one cares about the fact that the woman and child can't eat with the guests.

This is the first pig-killing dish that Zhang Tao ate after his rebirth, compared to the pig-killing dish he ate in the Hunan restaurant outside in his previous life, the taste is much more punctual, it seems that even the pork is better than the pork outside, and the pepper is also very fragrant. In addition, after working all morning, he really felt hungry and ate several large bowls of rice.

The panther also got up early and circled around the place where the pigs were killed, staring at some minced meat left by the butcher. Other people's dogs heard the sound and were driven aside by it, this territory is its, and some good things after killing pigs are naturally its, and this opportunity is only a few times a year, how can you let other dogs take advantage of it.

When the morning was completely dawn, all the villagers in the village who heard the sound of killing pigs rushed over, and then while talking about how well Zhang Tao's pigs were raised, they greeted the butcher according to their own needs, and asked the butcher to distribute the pork to them. The New Year is coming soon, no matter whether you make money this year or not, how your life is, the pork of the New Year must be prepared, and you need to keep your own New Year's gifts to entertain guests.

A whole pig was quickly divided, Zhang Tao's family left dozens of catties of meat, this year's Zhang Tao's mother was determined to leave so much for her own family, these years the three babies have lived a lot of hard times, this year it is rare to earn some money, and it is a pig prepared by herself, so she kept so much.

After sending the butcher away, Zhang Cuihua cleaned up the leftover things after killing the pig, and prepared to boil the pig's blood, this is a custom, but also a habit, the people in the village will do this after the housewife of the family kills the pig. "Mom, I'll boil the blood, you can do something else."

The reason why Zhang Tao took over this job was because the pig's blood cooked by his mother really didn't taste very good, and the housewives in their village were very casual in making this, and it seemed that they could eat it, and they didn't care about it at all. So when Zhang Tao was young, he once refused to eat this thing, because the taste was not good, and it smelled a little fishy, and he felt a little sick to his stomach when he ate it.

But this thing is actually a good thing, and it is the best supplement for Zhang Tao in the past. Pig blood has a high iron content, and in the form of heme iron, easy to be absorbed and utilized by the human body, children in the growth and development stage and pregnant or lactating women eat more can prevent and treat iron deficiency anemia, and can effectively prevent middle-aged and elderly people suffering from coronary heart disease, arteriosclerosis and other diseases.
