Chapter Forty-Six: Killing the New Year's Pig
"Mom, I'm almost ready, can I go to Xi'er tomorrow?"
Miao Qing couldn't cry or laugh, "You haven't had a good cold, so you want to go out and play crazy again?" When to go out, Dr. Gu has the final say. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Doctor Gu, can I be okay tomorrow?" Looking at her eyes full of hope, Gu Liya didn't know what pity was.
"It'll be fine, but can't go out. At this time, the body's immunity is not good, and it will be serious if you catch a cold again. ”
"Okay." The little body in the quilt finally calmed down, and turned into a quiet good girl again.
"Then let's go." Xi'er waved goodbye.
Miao Qing led the way in front, and when Xi'er went out, she saw several large bookshelves in the room on the right, which were full of books.
At that time, the atmosphere of "breaking the four olds" was so intense, so many books, how did Mr. Gao save them at that time?
Xi'er has been studying this issue on the way back.
"What do you want?" Seeing that Xi'er's little brain melon seeds had been low, Gu Liya was a little unaccustomed.
Xi'er told her the doubts in her heart.
"Either it was hidden before, or it was more from before, and this is what is leftover." The answer was concise and clear, but it was regrettable.
Xi'er knew in her heart that the second reason was the majority.
Books are not like gold and silver vessels, which can be dug and hidden, especially in cities, where the slightest movement can be known to all the neighbors.
How many books did Accountant Gao have before? Xi'er fell into another hypothesis.
The following days were busy and festive, because there were only ten days left before the Chinese New Year.
The grocery store in Yan Temple is full of red New Year paintings and couplets.
Xi'er's cotton clothes for her family have also been prepared, and she is waiting for the New Year to wear new clothes.
After being tortured by the big black bear, Xi'er asked the golden retriever to dismantle it again.
After fluffing the cotton, he made a big cotton coat for Tian's father and mother, as well as his brother.
Tian's mother is a red plaid long waist, Tian's father is a navy blue stand-up collar tunic, and his brother is a small short jacket.
The boy is full of blood and sweats easily when running around, so the inside is made into a jacket.
When it's hot, you can remove the inner layer.
This year, the family celebrated the New Year together, and the kang was dished, and the whole family was enough.
It's really not good, Zhang Yi also has enough space on his side.
It wasn't early in the morning, Xi'er had just finished running and was preparing the family's breakfast in the kitchen, when Gu Liyaxing hurriedly ran over.
"Xi'er, I'm going to kill the New Year's pig!"
"I don't have any pigs at home, what are you excited about?" Xi'er calmly pasted a cake on the edge of the pot.
"Someone in the village is killing, let's go, let's take a look." After speaking, regardless of the fire in the stove and the cake on the side of the pot, he pulled Xi'er and ran outside, for fear that the pigs would have been killed if he was late.
It's only a faint light when you go out, who killed pigs so early? Xi'er was speechless.
"Grandpa is up, there are pancakes in the pot, and I'm going out with Leah." When she got to the door, she couldn't help but howl, causing someone to start laughing at her housekeeper again.
Along the way, he continued to give Xi'er the knowledge of rural pig raising, and even encouraged Xi'er to catch a piglet to raise at the beginning of the New Year, so that the pig can be killed and eaten for the New Year.
According to the regulations of TH County, every household in each village in the county must sell the first pig raised for slaughter at a price of 0.54 per catty of gross weight to the state, and the supply and marketing cooperatives in various places are responsible for purchasing.
In fact, Xi'er also heard his grandfather tell a joke about farmers selling pigs in his previous life, saying that he sent a pig that had eaten 30 catties of pig food and was extremely full to the purchase station of the supply and marketing cooperative, which was weighed by 222 catties.
The purchaser said loudly: "Remove 20 catties of pig food, check out according to the gross weight of 202 ......" The result is at this time, this uncompetitive pig, and the buyer immediately changed his words: "Remove two catties of pig feces, settle the bill according to 200 catties, the ticket is 108 yuan, plus 30 catties of meat tickets." ”
In a few seconds, 1.08 yuan was missing, and the farmer who sold the pig looked depressed and muttered: "It's okay if it's a little later, alas......"
After selling pigs, farmers who sell pigs can buy meat at the national price of 0.8 yuan a catty on the day when they kill pigs at the purchasing station with a 30-kilogram meat ticket.
However, with the strength of one household alone, the vast majority of families can only raise one pig a year, and after selling it to the state according to the regulations, they cannot kill pigs for the New Year according to traditional customs.
So, someone found a way to sell a pig at the beginning of the year to meet the national regulations.
At the end of the year, another pig in the family grew up, so he went to the brigade to apply for killing the pig for the New Year.
As for the pigs raised in the second year, they are delayed until the beginning of the third year.
Because of the mischievous peasants and taking advantage of the loopholes of the policy, the commune did not complete the state's pig purchase plan.
After receiving criticism from the higher-ups, the commune demanded that the brigades strengthen their management and intensify the purchase of live pigs.
However, the brigade can basically be dragged on, and the grassroots leaders know very well that the life of the peasants is very hard, and if they really buy a pig every year in accordance with the above regulations, then the traditional custom of the peasants "killing pigs for the New Year" will definitely not be realized.
At the end of the year, there is no hope at all.
Xi'er listened to Gu Liya's babbling, but her mind was constantly intertwining memories, the pork provided by these farmers not only had to supply the city people to eat, but also exported a large amount to accumulate raw capital for China's industrialization.
In this way, a large number of industrial equipment and equipment can be exchanged, so the contribution of a pig should not be underestimated, they are the heroes who laid the foundation of China's industrialization.
The village proverb says: "Ropes are used for morning glory, and stools are used for killing pigs." "When you kill a pig, you have to use a bench that can seat two people.
When Xi'er and Gu Liya rushed over, the village helpers were driving it out of the pigpen.
The pig killer's assistant struggled to lift the pig's tail so that the pig could not be used for its strength. The pig killer grabbed and pressed the root of the pig's ear with one hand, copied the front foot of a pig with the other hand, lifted it vigorously, put the pig body perpendicular to the prepared stool, rested on the stool, and then blocked the pig's mouth with hemp rope.
The pig killer used the sharpened pig-killing knife, stabbed it through the pig's collarbone, and hit the heart.
The pig twitched a few times, then stopped moving for a few seconds, pulled out the knife, and the pig's blood gurgled into a wooden basin with a moderate amount of water.
After gently stirring, about ten minutes, the pig's blood is coagulated, put it in boiling water and rammed, you can make delicious pig blood, the villagers call it pig wang.
"If you can buy a pig wang, I will make you pig blood wang at noon, to ensure that you have an endless aftertaste." As soon as Xi'er thought of the smooth and tender smell, her salivary glands had already begun to secrete.
"Really delicious?" Gu Liya didn't believe it, she had never touched it since she was a child, even in the first few years of the queue, she didn't look at it.
"Did I lie to you?"
"Nope." Actions are faster than their brains, and people have already gone out and begun to discuss with the Lord how to take food from their mouths.
