130 Kill the pig and sacrifice to the god of the stove
When Ouyang Zhiyuan heard Lin Xue shouting, he immediately put down his chopsticks and went straight to the cellar from the house. "How?" watched Lin Xue walk towards him holding the wine jar. "What are you doing here?"
"Wine for Grandpa Ouyang!" Lin Xue stuffed the wine jar directly into Ouyang Zhiyuan's hand, turned around and walked into the house, she hadn't eaten yet!
The two hugged the jar and went back to the house, and Duan Chuyun pretended to be jealous as soon as he saw the wine jar. "Xiaoxue, how do you bring your grandfather's wine to give favors."
"Grandpa Duan, you can't go back, Xiaoxue gave it to my grandfather. I think there must be a lot of alcohol at home, so ...... Grandpa Duan has one less jar, and there is nothing! Ouyang Zhiyuan put the wine jar at the door, walked back and started eating.
"You kid, you're not honest."
Lin Xue ate the bowl intently, ignoring the two, she knew that her grandfather would also talk about it, and he was still not more generous to the two old comrades-in-arms.
After eating, he went to wash the dishes in his heart, Ouyang Zhiyuan hugged the jar of wine and walked back, thinking that his grandfather should be very happy to go back tonight.
The twenty-third day of the lunar month is a small year, but in Hunan there is a custom of sacrificing the stove on the twenty-fourth day of the year, and the Ouyang family kills the New Year's pig in advance, one is to sacrifice the stove on this day, and the other is also afraid that the next two butchers will be too busy to invite.
Duan Chuyun went to Ouyang's house early in the morning, and Lin Xue waited until the house was cleaned up. When I went, several sons of Grandpa Liu's family had arrived, and killing pigs was a piece of work, and it was definitely necessary to work hard.
Ouyang Zhiyuan also got up early to help, boiled a big pot of water and waited, helped Grandma Suyu clean the big wooden barrel, saw Lin Xue come in, and smiled at Lin Xue. "Xiaoxue, let's go play! Liu Jun: They all came. ”
"I'll help you watch the fire." Sitting by the stove, looking at your boiling water, looking at the snowflakes that have begun to fall outside, the trees and rooftops in the distance are already white, and the yard may not be white because of popularity.
"Zhiyuan, I'll help you." Liu Jun poured a large scoop of water into the wooden bucket. "Grandma Suyu, you go and get busy, just me and Zhiyuan here."
Grandma Su Yu nodded Liu Jun's head and went to work on something else. Ouyang Zhen went into the kitchen and took out the big basin that usually washes vegetables, and filled it with some salt. Cold water and white flour, I heard a few men shouting, and then heard the cry of a pig, and soon there was no sound.
Lin Xue didn't care about these either, picked up the wooden bucket waiting on the side, and began to play, and after a while, Liu Jun's father and uncle came in to pick up boiling water.
By the time Lin Xue arrived, there were already people around, large and small, staring at each other, and their eyes were full of joy. Liu Jun's father and uncle hold a planer (something used to shave pig hair). Scrape up and down, and soon the pig hair will be shaved clean.
"I'm afraid it's more than 400 catties of Mao's name!" The butcher lit a cigarette, looked at the cleaned pig, rolled up his sleeves, and then came his main event.
Lin Xue likes to watch the slaughter (butcher) puff up. The butcher, a veteran of the village, cut a small cut on the side of the pig's trotter with a knife, and then inserted an iron hammer from the mouth to the top.
"That's it, sister-in-law, we have to have a good meal today." Liu Que watched, he was here to eat and drink.
The butcher dropped the cigarette butt. Rinse your mouth with a scoop of water, then inhale and start blowing on the pig's trotters. After eating this one, he picked up the hemp rope that had been prepared long ago and helped to change it and blow it again, and he kept blowing the whole pig to stop.
Disemboweled, skinned, and slipped down, everyone watched lively. Grandma Suyu and Liu Jun's mother had already entered the kitchen with the congealed pig blood and a large amount of cut pork, and by the time the butcher took the cooked pig into the water, a large pot of fragrant pork blood and pork liver soup was already boiling on the stove.
By lunchtime, everyone was already seated, and Grandma Suyu and the two aunts of the Liu family helped. Lin Xue and Liu Yuerong played together, looking at the red and shiny pig intestines, the two little girls couldn't help but beg Grandma Suyu to taste it, and finally Grandma Suyu couldn't help but take the chopsticks and put chopsticks between the two little girls, and the two of them turned around in the kitchen half a circle happily.
At the dinner table, Old Man Liu Que disagreed, and said that Old Man Duan was eccentric, and he also wanted a jar of old wine, and finally drank a few large cups of Old Man Ouyang, and waited until Old Man Duan agreed to give him a jar of wine before letting go of Old Man Ouyang's jar of wine.
A few juniors looked speechless, how could such a big person be disrespectful to the old? The butcher master nodded a little, silent, it was really not wrong to come to Ouyang's house to kill the pig, look at this dish is good, it has all the color, flavor and taste, and the wine is good, I can't bear to drink a few more glasses of pigs, and when I go back, her wife will pick it up before going back, otherwise I will stay at Ouyang's house and rest.
At dinner, the two uncles of the Liu family helped carry half of the pig back, and Grandpa Liu followed behind Old Man Duan, and said that he was sending Old Man Duan back, but he was actually afraid that Old Duan would be reluctant to send him wine, so he went to supervise.
When she got home, Lin Xue consciously went to bring out a jar of wine, and packed some fruits for Liu's family in a bag in the house, explaining that it was bought from the market and given to Liu Yuerong's grandmother.
Seeing off the Liu family, Lin Xue carried some fruits to the Ouyang family and the Xie family, and the Xie family was also very busy, so Lin Xue dropped the fruit and came back.
Lin Xue began to clean in the afternoon, in fact, there is nothing dirty at home, but the weather has not been very good, but Lin Xue still plans to wash the quilt, not too much, just two quilts, but for the New Year, open two more shops, afraid of guests coming to the house in the New Year.
It is also very convenient to wash the quilt and wash it in the washing machine, as long as you take it out and throw it in the washing machine, and when the time is almost up, you can take it to dry.
Duan Chuyun also happily watched his little granddaughter busy, processing the pork on the side, and sacrificing the stove at night.
The house was cleaned inside and out, and everything in the house was wiped before Lin Xue stopped.
Seeing that it was not early, and after an afternoon, a finger thick snow had accumulated outside, Lin Xue thought that she had almost knitted her woolen pants, and she would try it with the elastic for her grandfather to see if it would be longer.
Thinking of it, he ran to the room to work, and Duan Chuyun outside was busy cooking pork and chicken, and wanted to sacrifice things for the stove at night.
When it was completely dark, Duan Chuyun called Lin Xue, put the pork and chicken fish on the offering table in the hall, and put the fruits and wine on the table. Originally, women were not allowed to sacrifice to the stove, but there was no one else in the Duan family, so Duan Chuyun was not so taboo, and greeted Lin Xue and left the stove house.
On the main hall of the stove house, the god of the stove is pasted, and on the top is pasted a horizontal batch: "the head of the family", and the left and right sides are pasted with a sub-couplet: "God says good things, return to the palace to be auspicious".
Then Duan Chuyun took Lin Xue to light incense and worship, the old man had words in his mouth, Lin Xue was very moved when he heard it, what his grandfather wanted was that he was safe and happy.
