Lao Yaozi knew that Da Sawzi was curious about Xu Xiaobai in his heart, and said: "Just now he was roaring in the middle of the mountainside, and the sound came out at least ten miles away, you should have heard it!" ”

The big saw changed color in a panic and exclaimed, "Did he make that movement just now?" Grandma's, I heard a voice in the sentry box, and I thought it was a Siberian tiger. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Lao Yaozi laughed: "Where are there Siberian tigers in these years, they have long been extinct." If I ever met one, I would have to wear it in a tiger skin. ”

While laughing, the three of them had already arrived at the door of the row of bungalows, and the big saw knocked on the door one by one and went in, introducing Lao Yaozi and Xu Xiaobai to the people living inside. There is no task today, everyone is resting in the house, some are sleeping, some are playing cards, some are smoking and drinking, and when they see a guest coming, they all get up enthusiastically to greet them. It's just that Lao Yaozi glanced over and didn't find any familiar faces, these are half-grown children, and the older ones are only in their thirties, when they came to the forest farm, Lao Yaozi has no longer entered the mountains, so they don't know each other.

Everyone was very enthusiastic, and Lao Yaozi was also very moved, greeting them one by one. After coming out of everyone's house, he asked the big saw: "What about the old brothers in the past, are they all gone?" ”

When the big saw heard this, his face turned pale, and he said: "It's all gone, some are dead, and some are gone." ”

Lao Yaozi's face also changed: "Dead? Who died? ”

The big saw talked about the past with some embarrassment. It turns out that the logging industry is very dangerous, and thousands of pounds of red pine are sawed off from the bottom and smashed to the ground, and the direction of landing is not easy to estimate, so it is very prone to accidents. A few years ago, when the group of lumberjacks were working, they miscalculated the direction of a thousand-year-old tree, and as a result, three people were killed at that time, which was a major safety accident. When the rest of the people saw that the three people had died tragically, and that their bodies had been crushed into meatloaf, they all thought of resigning.

If it was a few decades ago, although logging was dangerous, there were still people rushing to do it, because the pay in this industry was very high, and they made a lot more hard-earned money than people in the village. But with the reform and opening up, those who have the ability have gone out, and those who don't have the ability can also go out to work, in comparison, logging has slowly become a non-profitable industry, so more and more people are quitting. Dozens of people collectively resigned and went out to work. However, the forest farm is state-run, and a fixed amount of logging tasks must be completed every year, so the county leaders hurriedly raised their wages and quickly recruited a group of new workers, who are now the current batch of loggers.

Xu Xiaobai listened quietly beside him, and said in his heart that there was such a hard and bloody job in the world, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, how could he have thought that there was a lumberjack in this deep mountain and old forest.

Seeing that it was dinner time, the big saw swept away his sorrow and said to the two: "You came at the right time, we raised more than a dozen pigs in the forest farm, and today the factory killed pigs, you are just in time, you can eat a serious pig killing dish!" ”

When Xu Xiaobai and Xiaoqing came all the way north, he once ate a pig-killing dish in a small restaurant, but according to Xiaoqing, it was just a taste of a whole set of pig-killing dishes, a real pig-killing dish, which was to turn a whole pig into a table of dishes. He secretly said that it was not as good as the coincidence, this time he really caught up, and he just happened to see this famous pig-killing dish in the entire three eastern provinces.

As if to confirm the words of the big saw, only a shout was heard, and several sturdy young men ran out of the house, each wearing only a small cotton jacket that was close to the body, and ran to the back of the bungalow, and after a while, there was a sound of snorting pigs behind them. It turned out that the pigsty was behind the bungalow.

Xu Xiaobai followed curiously, and saw that these people entered the pigsty and went straight to a fat and strong boar. The other pigs all snorted and chirped away, not daring to face these murderous people. The boar also seemed to know that something was wrong, and ran desperately in the pigsty, not to see five or six people deal with a pig, this pig is really not good to go crazy. Its body was covered with mud, and it couldn't slip into the hills, and several young men couldn't pull it.

One of the experienced ones, when he saw the pig running, took a wooden pole in his hand and struck it on the pig's front leg at once. The front legs of the pig are much thinner than the hind legs, and the strength is much smaller, and this time it stumbled, and by inertia, the whole body of the pig threw itself out and rolled to the ground. The rest of the people saw the opportunity, quickly stepped forward, the two of them each pressed the pig's front legs and hind legs, the other two turned the pig over, and then two people stepped forward and took out the hemp rope, tied the pig's two front legs and two hind legs together, and played a pig-killing buckle. This pig-killing buckle is specially designed to deal with pigs, once this knot is tied, the more the pig struggles, the tighter the buckle becomes.

The one who started to beat the sticky stick inserted the wooden pole from the middle of the pig's four legs, and it became a flat pole, and the two strong men carried the flat pole and left, and the pig hummed and chirped in mid-air, still trying to resist, but could not exert any strength.

The people carried the pig out of the pigsty, and someone outside had already set up a large table in the open space, and laid the pig down on the table. The big saw took a sharp knife from the hands of others, stepped forward with his fists, and cut the pig's neck with one sword. The pig snorted violently, and everyone held it down, and someone had already brought a large iron basin and filled a basin full of hot pig blood, and it didn't take long for this basin of pig blood to freeze into a coagulated state in the bitter cold. This pig's blood can be used to make blood sausage, and it is the most delicious dish of pig-killing dishes.

Pigs are one of the first domesticated animals, and the Chinese have been eating pork for thousands of years. For a long time, the pigs eaten in the countryside are their own captive pigs, and due to the cold climate in the northeast, the pigs raised are fat and healthy, and they are the top grade in pork. A good pig also needs to meet a good butcher in order to play its true value, in the past, there will be a recognized pig killing expert in the countryside, for farmers, killing pigs is a major event in the year, be sure to ask the pig killing expert to help.

The big saw is just such a pig killing master. He cleaned the pig's blood with a knife, and then began to open the skin on the pig's belly while it was hot, and dig out the internal organs and intestines. Pigs are full of treasures, pig blood is filled with pig intestines, you can make a big bowl of pig blood sausage, pig heart and pig lungs are cooked and cold salad is a dish, pork belly can be stir-fried with wine, and even pig water can be made into a fragrant dish. The knife of the big saw roamed all over the pig's body, hollowing out the entire cavity, and soaking the internal organs in different basins, which would be slowly cleaned up. Then start to shed the pig's hair.

Most of the pork sold in the market today is dehaired with caustic soda, which is extremely harmful to people's stomach, but it is fast. In the countryside, pigs are scalded with hot water, and then scraped little by little with a spatula, and the procedure of scraping pig hair alone takes more than an hour. When the pig hair is cleaned, the pork is cut, and the four legs are naturally cut off separately, and the rest of the pork is made into pork belly according to the fat and lean even configuration.

The big saw hand is fast, and when he is complacent, he simply closes his eyes and starts work, Xu Xiaobai is dizzy and cheers loudly, and the ancient people said that the big saw is in this realm now.

After the big saw cleaned up the pigs, naturally someone went to cook. He went to the hot tub to wash his hands, and took the rest of the group to find the most spacious house, which was usually the dining room where they ate. Everyone hurriedly found a box of old village chief's liquor, put it aside first, and waited for a while to drink it during dinner. I found a few more cards and played them all over the place.

It didn't take long for a shout outside, and the pig-killing vegetables began to be served. White meat with garlic, shredded meat, stewed white meat and blood sausage with sauerkraut, as well as a full set of lantern hanging, cold pork liver, stir-fried pork belly, and nine turns of large intestine...... The workers eat a wide range of food, and the dishes are served in large pots. Everyone divided the chopsticks, first ate a refreshing one, and then began to pour wine, the big saw was the oldest among these people, so he toasted, and heard him stand up with a wine glass and said: "Our forest farm came to the distinguished guest today, it is my old friend Lao Yaozi for many years, and my new friend Xu Xiaobai, let's toast them with a cup, I wish them good health!" ”

Everyone raised their glasses, Xu Xiaobai drank it all, and felt that although this wine was poor, it was full of strength, and it was indeed the most popular high-grade liquor in the Northeast.

Next came the old medicine to toast, he picked up the cup, and said: "I haven't been in the mountain for many years, but when I came here today, I saw that everyone was young and strong, and even I felt a few years younger." Cheers and all the best! ”

Everyone drank it all again, Xu Xiaobai looked at this posture, and sure enough, all of them were bold and hearty people.

It was his turn next, he picked up his wine glass and said in a deep voice: "I am a junior, and I came here today to learn from everyone." Our northeast side, the old forest is full of treasures, you are also treasures, is the treasure among the people, I wish everyone a smooth life, and harmony and beauty! ”

Everyone responded and toasted again. Three glasses of wine in succession, Xu Xiaobai's head was already a little dazed, I thought that this was a three-round wine, and it was time to eat food next, I didn't want people to stand up one by one to toast, everyone didn't mean to put down the wine glass at all, and drank one cup after another. Xu Xiaobai buried his head in complaining, and had to drink again, and before he knew it, he had already drunk more than a dozen cups.

He tried his best to eat vegetables, tried to suppress his drinking, and tried his best to exercise his true qi, but to no avail. I don't know when, he finally got high, and he didn't know anything when he lay on the table.

The banquet continued, and although Lao Yaozi's face was red from drinking, his mind was still very sober. At this time, the big saw came over, touched a glass with him, and asked him in a low voice: "This kid is not from our Northeast at first glance, why did he come to our old forest?" ”
