The children were left in the house, the door was closed, and the kitchen was left with only a door open to the end of the yard. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the courtyard of Liu's house, Aunt Liu opened the pigsty door and drove one of the slightly fatter pigs up, the pig was walking leisurely at first, perhaps it was the inspiration before death, the pig to be slaughtered suddenly turned its head and wanted to return to the pigsty, or Zhang Butcher had experience, immediately grabbed the pig's ears, and dragged it to the edge of the bucket full of hot water, the pig has been resisting on the way to be dragged over, the cry was sharp and piercing, Zhang Butcher didn't give it much time, took the long bayonet handed over by his son, the white knife went in and the red knife came out, The action is fast and not procrastinating, a knife down, the pig's cry stopped abruptly, as the bayonet was pulled out, a blood poured out, Zhang Qi immediately took a wooden basin next to him and picked up the pig's blood, pig's blood is a good thing, stewed with tofu The taste can be regarded as amazing, although the pig will move from time to time, but this bit of movement can no longer be regarded as movement for Zhang Butcher, and it can be solved with one hand.
After the blood flowed for a while, Zhang Butcher judged that the blood was almost dry, and the pig was almost out of breath, Zhang Butcher signaled Zhang Qi to put the pig into a wooden bucket filled with water, Zhang Qi and Zhang Butcher pulled the front leg and the hind leg of the other, and easily put a pig of almost 200 catties into the barrel.
"Dazhi, your son is amazing, maybe he will be more powerful than you in the future." Seeing the cooperation between Zhang Qi and Zhang Butcher, Liu Jizong was amazed, Zhang Qi also began to follow Zhang Butcher to kill pigs in the streets and alleys this year, and he was so skilled in action in less than a year, and he could see that he was a good seedling for killing pigs.
"Hey, what's this?" Hearing Liu Jizong praise his son, Zhang Butcher was a hundred times happier than hearing others praise himself, but although he was happy in his heart, he wanted to say, 'He still has a grind, how can it be so easy to become a teacher'.
"The young man has a future, don't listen to what your father says, work hard, and compare your father to him in the future." Liu Jizong laughed hehehe, helping the little butcher talk about his father, Zhang Qi laughed when he heard it, and he looked very happy.
"Silly boy, this can't speak, my mother and I are not such people, how did I give birth to such a stuffy son." Zhang Butcher said this, but everyone could hear his love for this son.
Zhang butcher and Liu Jizong they talked, the movements of the hands were not ambiguous, put the pig into the barrel and began to shave the pig, after a while a pig was shaved clean, originally looked at the dirty pig after shaving the pig skin snow white, Zhang butcher boasted: "It is a good pig, the skin looks thin, Jizong brother caught this pig well this year." ”
"Right? I also think that this pig's food this year is much faster than last year's two, and the piglets are really good. When Aunt Liu heard that the pig that Zhang Butcher had praised for a few years was better than the pig he killed last year, she immediately said.
After the pig's hair was shaved, Zhang Butcher motioned for Zhang Qi to carry the pig to the long table next to the barrel, then went to the cart to get a piece of cloth, soaked it in the barrel and wiped all the pig's body, and then cut off the pig's head and tail and threw it to Zhang Qi for disposal.
Zhang Qi received the pig's head given to him by Zhang Butcher, asked Aunt Liu for some hot water, and began to concentrate on processing the pig's head, the whole pig's head can still be seen to have a lot of pig hair, the hair on the pig's body is easy to scrape, because the pig's body is smooth, but the pig's head is different, so this head needs to be processed again after cutting.
Zhang Qi was sent by Zhang Butcher to deal with the pig's head, and then he needed Liu Zhengxing's help, Zhang Butcher asked Liu Zhengxing to help turn the pig up, into a four-legged shape, and then let Liu Zhengxing hold the two pig trotters on one side, he himself supported the other two, with a big knife in his hand, cut the pig from the neck to the tail, and broke it on both sides, and the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys in the pig's stomach were seen.
After Zhang Qi took away the wooden basin full of belly goods, Zhang Butcher washed the cloth originally used to wipe the pig's body, wrung it out and wiped off the blood remaining in the pig's stomach, and then took out a sharp knife from the bag where he put the pig's knife, and divided a pig into left and right petals along the direction of the pig's spine.
After that, I saw Zhang Butcher take out all kinds of knives, separate the front legs and hind legs of the pig from the body, take out the plate oil and cloth oil separately, and cut half of the pork into strips of different sizes according to the arrangement of pork ribs, and processed a pig before the hour came.
"Sister-in-law, this pig's belly is good." Zhang Butcher looked at the pot of belly goods that Zhang Qi was dealing with in the distance and said.
Aunt Liu knew that he actually took a fancy to these pigs into the water, but in the Liu family, whether it was Liu Xiucai or Liu Jizong or Liu Zhengxing, the brothers all loved to eat these things, so Aunt Liu pretended not to know what the butcher Zhang meant, and only praised Uncle Fu's piglets to him.
When Ah Miao and the little fat man were allowed to go to the yard, the Zhang butcher had already cleaned up the ground, except for the faint smell of blood left in the yard and the pig hair that had been swept into a pile, he couldn't imagine that a pig had just been killed here an hour ago.
After Butcher Zhang packed up everything, Aunt Liu went back to the house, gave the money that had been agreed before, cut off half of the lungs and half of the liver, hung them with straw, and stuffed them into Butcher Zhang's cart.
"Sister-in-law, how embarrassing is this, the money has already been settled." Zhang Butcher excused.
"Take it, sister-in-law knows that you don't lack meat to eat, but it's just a little heart, I heard your eldest brother Jizong say that your daughter-in-law is a good hand at making pig lungs." Aunt Liu put the pig lungs and pig liver, turned her head and said to Zhang Butcher with a smile.
"That's, sister-in-law, it's not me boasting, the lung tablets made by my Yao Niang are a must, and I will have the opportunity to send some to my sister-in-law next time." Listening to Aunt Liu talk about her daughter-in-law, Zhang Butcher was not modest at all, and immediately followed to praise her daughter-in-law, looking like a daughter-in-law who loved her daughter-in-law, and when she talked to Aunt Liu about his daughter-in-law Yao Niang, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were smiling.
"That's a good feeling, I must try it next time I have a chance." Almost the whole village knows that Zhang Butcher loves to eat pig lungs, and his daughter-in-law can also make pig lungs, no matter who has eaten the pig lungs made by his daughter-in-law, he must say good.
"Then I won't be polite to my sister-in-law." Butcher Zhang accepted the pig lungs and liver that Mrs. Liu stuffed him, tied the wooden barrel table on the cart with ropes, and then prepared to return home, and he had to go to take care of his pork shop. And Aunt Liu has to clean up the yard again after he leaves, although it has just been tidied up a little, but Aunt Liu loves to be clean, and there are still blood stains in the corners of the ground, which need to be washed away with water.
