Wang Xiangzhong bought a sheep from Wu Anguo, and after carrying it to his home, he instructed Yang Shilong's wife and Yang Shiguo's wife to boil water, and he was going to kill the sheep. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the countryside, many male laborers know how to kill sheep, dogs, chickens, and so on.

When I was a child, every time I killed chickens at home during the Chinese New Year, Wang Zheng would watch with great excitement. Of course, it is not the killing itself that the child is excited about, but the result of the killing, that is, the meat to be eaten.

And Wang Zheng is now watching his father kill sheep, which is not more of an expectation, but a feeling of nostalgia.

Wang Xiangzhong erected two wooden shelves in the middle of the patio at home, that is, the location of the vegetable garden, and then placed one piece of wood horizontally on the shelf. After all these were ready, Wang Xiangzhong hung the unlucky sheep upside down on the horizontal wooden shelf.

The hot water was quickly boiled, and Yang Shiguo's wife giggled and brought the kettle full of boiling water to Wang Xiangzhong's side.

"Big brother, this sheep you picked has to be forty pounds, right?"

Wang Xiangzhong shook his head, looked at the sheep hanging on the wooden shelf, and said, "Half a big lamb is only thirty-seven or eight catties." ”

Yang Shiguo's wife also watched Wang Xiangzhong kill the sheep on the side, and was also ready to help.

The sheep was hung upside down and wanted to struggle from time to time, but Wang Xiangzhong stuffed a corn cob into the sheep's mouth, and it couldn't shout at all.

Directly below the sheep's head, a large porcelain basin is placed. Wang Xiangzhong poured out some of the water in the kettle, poured it into the porcelain basin, then poured the porcelain basin, poured the water again, and put it under the sheep's head again.

The sheep's head was so close to the ground that almost its entire head fell into the porcelain basin.

Wang Xiangzhong took a sharp knife, sharpened it twice on the side of the porcelain basin, and then grabbed the sheep's mouth with his hand, pulled its head up, and exposed the sheep's neck.

Wang Xiangzhong bit the sharp knife on his mouth, freed his other hand to slash the hair on the sheep's neck a few times, and then picked up the sharp knife again, and slashed the sheep's neck, and the bright red sheep blood spurted into the porcelain basin. And a lot of blood also oozed from the sheep's mouth.

This scene frightened Yang Shiguo's wife trembling, turned her head and pulled Wang Zheng to herself, and took the initiative to help him cover his eyes.

Wang Xiangzhong threw the sharp knife aside, took a bag of cigarettes in his free hand, took a puff, and said, "Second sister-in-law, Wang Zheng of my family is not afraid of this. ”

At this time, Wang Zheng had already broken free from Yang Shiguo's wife and smiled at him kindly.

"Xiang Zhong, you kid is so bold."

"My son is not even afraid of wild wolves, where is he afraid of killing sheep."

Yang Shiguo's wife smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "That's what I said." ”

Wang Xiangzhong's hand gripped the sheep's mouth, and after the sheep struggled for a few minutes, as the blood that flowed out became less and less, he kicked his leg a few times and swallowed his breath.

Then, Wang Xiangzhong let go of the hand holding the sheep's head, and quickly cut the tendons on the four legs of the sheep, and then pulled a small hole from the hind legs, and blew hard into it.

Wang Zheng saw that soon, the sheep's belly began to bulge.

Wang Xiangzhong finished blowing into the leg of mutton, then took the basin containing the sheep's blood aside and replaced it with another clean porcelain basin.

"Second sister-in-law, you let my second brother come to drink at my house tonight."

When Yang Shiguo's wife heard this, she hurriedly said: "That's not good, isn't your mutton ready to entertain guests tomorrow?" ”

"Cook the sheep tonight, eat mutton tomorrow, you let me Shiguo brother must come, Fuming has not been drinking with me for a long time, and I will also call him over."

Yang Shiguo, Wu Fuming and Wang Xiangzhong are three of the same age, and they are relatively good brothers in the village.

"As soon as I told him, he came faster than anyone else."

Wang Xiangzhong smiled and said, "That's the best." ”

Then, Wang Xiangzhong stood up and took a breath, then bent down again, picked up the sharp knife, and slashed from the mouth of the sheep's neck to the buttocks, and then the white belly of the sheep was presented in front of everyone.

Wang Xiangzhong took the sheep out of the belly of the sheep and put it in the porcelain basin.

At this time, Wu Anguo's wife came to Wang Zheng's house.

"Xiang Zhong, did you kill the sheep so quickly?"

Wang Xiangzhong heard that it was the wife of Wu Anguo, the next-door neighbor, who was coming, so he hurriedly stood up and said, "Second aunt, you are here." ”

"Second aunt, the sheep that my second uncle is serving is good, look at this meat, how fat and tender it is." Yang Shiguo's wife on the side also looked happily at Wu Anguo's wife who came over.

Wang Xiangzhong saw Wu Anguo's wife holding a handful of money in her hand, frowned, and said a little anxiously: "Look at the second aunt, what are you doing here?" ”

Wu Anguo's wife did not give the money to Wang Xiangzhong, but put the money on a stone platform in the patio, and then picked up a small stone and pressed it.

"Eldest nephew, your second uncle said that the sheep is only thirty-seven or eight pounds, and it is a lot to collect fifty yuan, and he doesn't want the extra money."

Wang Zheng didn't wait for his father's orders, and hurriedly ran over to grab the money and give it to Wu Anguo's wife.

"Second grandma, my second grandfather has taken care of me so much these days, and I should be filial to you."

Wu Anguo's wife pushed Wang Zheng's hand, looked at Wang Xiangzhong with a smile and said, "Xiang Zhong, you kid gave birth to a good son, and he talks sweetly." However, you don't know the temper of your second uncle in my family, if I don't send you this money back, you will have to be angry with me when I come back. ”

Then she turned her head to look at Wang Zheng and said, "Little Wang Zheng, whoever this money belongs to is whoever it is, and you can't be sloppy." ”

Wu Anguo's wife has a lot of strength, and the eight-year-old Wang Zheng has no way to beat her. Then he turned to look at his father.

Wang Xiangzhong said helplessly: "Forget it, Wang Zheng, since your second grandmother is so strong, you can keep the money." ”

"Well, that's right. Xiang Zhong, then you should be busy first, I still have to grind some millet noodles. ”

When Wang Xiangzhong heard this, he nodded hurriedly and said, "That's okay, second aunt, you can be busy first." By the way, second aunt, why do you want my second uncle to come to my house to drink two cups tonight. ”

"Why are you drinking tonight? Didn't you come tomorrow? ”

"I've cooked the next order tonight, let's drink it first."

Wu Anguo's wife said to Wang Zheng with a smile: "Okay, I'll talk to you when your second uncle comes back." ”

Seeing Wu Anguo's wife walk out of the door of his house, Wang Xiangzhong said with great feeling: "Second Uncle Wu is so difficult. ”

"Yes, a good man with a temper."

Wang Zheng agrees with what Yang Shiguo's wife said, some people are good people, but their temper is a bit big.
