Chapter 170: Killing the Pig
Thank you for the pink ticket for the children's shoes.
--------------- two little girls have also come to Lin He's house for a while, Lin He is very satisfied with their performance, Ziqing is a sister, more stable, and quieter, in addition to kung fu and good embroidery, which is a little more delicate than Huang's embroidery, and she will cut clothes and make clothes. Sister Ziyu's temperament is more lively, spicy, and loves to talk, compared to her sister, the kung fu foundation is not so solid, but people are very clever, and they are usually very liked by Xiaobao and Chen'er.
And the two of them are diligent and adaptable, and they took over all the housework at home the next day after they arrived here, and even they did such things as playing with a few small ones, and now Lin He felt as if he was idle all of a sudden, and even Xiaobao, who usually shouts "sister, sister" all day long, is now shouting "Ziqing, Ziyu" all day long. ”
However, after all, Lin He has not spent much time with them, and he has not fully trusted them, so he still has to observe them for a while, usually the ointment is still done with the Zhou family and Hongyun, Lin He feels that this matter should be guarded against first, and it will be talked about later.
After a period of time, it will soon be the beginning of spring, before and after the beginning of spring, the temperature is not as cold as in winter, it has risen, the ice and snow in winter have melted away, the wild grasses and wild flowers in the field have emerged, all the people who have planted crops have picked up farm tools to go down to the field to do things, Lin He's family has prepared farm tools for the long-term workers have also been laid, and the long-term workers are also in the field. Busy with the fields that he divided.
Father Qin took the long-term workers to do work in the original eight acres of fertile land in Lin He's house, such as fertilizing, watering, and pulling weeds, all of which had to be done at this time, and there were still a lot of weeds in the wheat field. Weeds are all shepherd's cabbage, wheat artemisia and the like. Wheat artemisia grows very fast, almost as soon as the temperature is high, this thing grows like crazy, faster than wheat, but it is also more convenient when weeding, pulling out the grass in a pile, and Daddy Qin took a few long-term workers to bring it back. It can be fed to the pigs at home, and it can also be put in the pond to feed the fish.
Dajiang's family over there also has a few acres of land, and he also sends a lot of these weeds over every day. Lin He looked at so many weeds and asked them not to put them all down, just put some in a day, and put the rest on the edge of the pond, and throw some into the fish a day. In addition, he also gave the big fat pig at home to eat the old and young.
Huang and Er Niu looked at the two big fat pigs at home. Thinking about whether to slaughter this pig and catch two piglets again, this pig is not a sow, it has been fed for too long, it is a waste of food, and I think that I will wait for the Changgong to get the ground done in the past few days and slaughter the two fat pigs.
Originally, this fat pig was supposed to be slaughtered during the New Year, and it was easier to sell meat at that time. But during the Chinese New Year, Lin He's family bought land to build a house, and sold fish and didn't have time to spare.
Lin He thought about letting Erniu slaughter the pig in the next few days. The next thing is that the spring is busy, when it gets busy, everyone is more hard, slaughtering the pigs in their own homes, leaving some meat to eat at home, the family plus such a big family as a long-term worker, but also to buy a lot of meat to eat, it is better to keep more at home, so you don't have to go out to buy.
Erniu thought that what Lin He said was right, so he found a day to catch the market, and called the long-term worker to help, and there was a long-term worker called Gouzhu who would kill pigs, and Erniu asked him to come and kill the pigs, saying that the two pigs were cleaned up together, and half of the pigs were kept at home, and the rest were sold on the street.
Early in the morning on the day of the pig killing, the people in the village came to see it, and it was not the New Year's holiday, and the two cows slaughtered the two big fat pigs at once, which was really strange. There are also people who come and wait to cut some flesh and go back. Two fat pigs cleaned up together, there are two large pots of pigs in the water alone, and there are two big pig heads, the pigs that were killed did not sell much at home, sold more than a dozen catties, and rushed to the town, Erniu said, take advantage of the morning now, take it to the street to sell.
Erniu and Dajiang took a few long-term workers to transport the meat to the street with an ox cart, and Lin He and Huang took Ziqing and Ziyu to the river to clean up these pigs, fortunately, there were many people, and it took more than an hour to clean up, and the two pigs were not old and young, Lin He didn't know how long to eat.
When I returned home, I sorted the pigs into water, and the pork liver and pork kidneys were made and eaten, and so many people could eat them. As for the pig intestines, pig hearts, and pig tongues, Lin He made some brine by himself and bristled it, so that it is more temperate and can be eaten for a few days. The remaining pig's feet and pig's head have to be slowly cleaned up.
The hair on it alone is a big project, when killing the pig, some of it was scalded off with boiling water, and the rest of Lin He let Ziqing and Ziyu burn the tongs red, and disposed of the hair, and after processing, Lin He planned to make the pig's head meat and ears into bacon, Lin He had eaten the cured pig's head meat and pig ears baked by fire once when he was a child, and the taste was drooling when he thought about it.
Huang and Lin He took the girl to clean up at home all morning, and finally cleaned up almost, at noon, a few people fried some pigs in the water and ate, and the rest of the pigs went into the water, Lin He asked Ziqing to send them to Changgong, and let Hongxia do it, because the pigs were cleaned up, so tell Hongxia to make it directly. When it was almost afternoon, Erniu and they came back from selling meat, saying that there was still half of the meat of a pig left, and they really couldn't sell it, so they brought it back.
Huang looked at the yard of the house full of meat, sad to death, said that he would not have killed the two pigs together if he had known, and now the meat has not been sold out and he doesn't know what to do, Lin He smiled and comforted: "This kill a pig, the pig pen still can't be empty, I will find a way to find a way to kill these meats, it won't be wasted, it's a big deal to make all the bacon, it won't be bad anyway, there are so many long-term workers and family members in the family, these meats are eaten quickly, if there is no meat, it's not to go out to buy, and now the meat in my own house doesn't cost money, right." ”
Huang thought about it, and said that the family killed the pig, his mother's family and in-law's family, and the relatives at home must send some to the past, even if the family was poor before, now he is not waiting for the money from selling meat to live, anyway, he can't sell it, and there is no way to be anxious.
Huang cleaned up some of them, thinking that his mother-in-law and in-law's side would send four catties over, and the brothers and sisters-in-law would send two catties, and Lin He would deal with the rest.
In the afternoon, Erniu drove the ox cart to send the meat to the mother-in-law's side, and the mother-in-law's family here let Hongxia take it back, and Hongyun was also here to help all day, because the "belly" was big, and he didn't do anything else, so he swept the yard or something, only Dajiang's family, and Erniu went to the town to sell meat, and he didn't come over, so he had to send it himself.
