Chapter 118: Killing the Pig

After buying things and going home, Yunzhu thought that she had made such a big red face in front of Ping'an, so she refused to speak again. Ping An helped her carry her things and still walked behind her.

The two returned home in silence.

Here, Feng Lao Niang and Xiangmei also cleaned up the cabbage, and Yun Zhujian said: "If you make pickles, dry them first, and wait until they are slightly dried to make them less sour." ā€

So the three of them hurried to dry part of the cabbage, but the weather has been bad recently, and they don't know when they will be drying.

The remaining half, Yun Zhu Jian yƬ They make spicy cabbage, and she also makes it anyway, so they can be together.

Then I began to wash the remaining vegetables, after cleaning them repeatedly, I found a large vat, filled it with clean water, added an appropriate amount of salt, stirred evenly, put the cabbage neatly in it, and finally compacted it with stones.

"It's cold, and we won't be able to move on until the morning after tomorrow."

"Kill the pig tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow should be fine."

"Let's carry this jar to a warmer place in the house for a while, it's cold outside, and I'm afraid that when it is uncovered, it will be ice ballast."

Mrs. Feng asked Ping An to help.

Yunzhu thought, yes, tomorrow their family will kill pigs, and she also promised to come to help, so she took a break and left.

Towards noon on the second day, the yellow butcher made an appointment with a few friends who came to help. Feng Bai also came to join in the fun. Ping'an had already dug a pit outside, set up a large cauldron, piled firewood, and boiled water in the pot.

The yellow butcher took out rope and various knives and asked them to release the pigs.

The gate of the courtyard has been closed, and everyone is guarding everywhere. Prevent pigs from escaping.

Tian Tian came to see the excitement early, but Yunzhu was still busy at home.

Wait until everyone catches the pigs. I tied the rope and weighed it first. The yellow butcher reported the weight: "One hundred and seven catties!" ā€

Huang Butcher frowned and asked Ping'an: "How did your family feed it, I don't remember wrongly that your pig was fed with the next door, and now it has been fed for a few days more than theirs, why is it so bad?" ā€

Ping'an smiled: "Song Niangzi, she can feed, we are negligent." He was embarrassed to mention Yunzhu's name in front of everyone.

After the scale, several people pressed the pig on the bluestone slab, and the basin had been prepared in advance to receive the blood.

The pig's cry was a little terrible, and Tian Tian was afraid, so he hid in Xiangmei's arms. Xiangmei smiled and helped her cover her ears. It wasn't until the yellow butcher held the knife and killed the pig in one go, and the pig was no longer angry, that Xiangmei let go of her hand.

The water in the pot has been boiled, and the next thing is to scald the hair with boiling water. Only when you clean it up can you disembowel it.

The yellow butcher has killed pigs for decades, so he is naturally a good hand, and he is very old in doing this.

When the village heard the pigs barking, they came to see the excitement or buy meat.

The yellow butcher ordered Ping'an to remove a piece of the door panel and come down. Prepare to make a desk. After the pig is split and cleaned, the people who come to buy meat come up. Weighing, settling accounts, and collecting money are a little too busy for a while.

Ping An thought. Yunzhu is good at settling accounts, but she can't pay it back. He hurried out without saying a word, but saw that Yunzhu was still busy washing vegetables.

Ping An stepped forward and said, "My aunt." It's almost busy, why can't you go over? ā€

"What's the hurry? I thought it would be a while. Yunzhu originally thought that she was just asking her to help cook some food, but she didn't expect that she would be asked to help settle the accounts.

Ping An couldn't help but pull up the cloud beads. And he went to his house.

It happened that Feng Bai came out to pour water, and when he saw this scene, he was already dumbfounded, and asked for peace with a little stuttering: "Ping...... Flat...... Tell me...... This is...... How...... How ......"

Ping An didn't pay attention to his second aunt at all, and said to Yunzhu; "Go in and help. I'll wash the leftovers for you. ā€

Yun Zhu smiled: "Then thank you first." The water was biting, and Ping An was willing to help, so she was naturally happy.

The more Feng Bai thought about it, the more wrong it became, and when Yunzhu entered the courtyard, she grabbed Ping An and asked, "What's the matter with you and her?" ā€

Ping An smiled and said, "What's going on? ā€

"I saw you holding her hand just now."

Ping An saw that he was seen through, so he had to admit: "What else can I do, that's all." ā€

"I introduced you to the Liao family's Sanya, and you came to say that you didn't want to, could it be because of her?"

Peace and silence.

Seeing that Ping'an didn't speak, Feng Bai also knew the answer, and muttered, "It's no wonder." I said that you don't have a score, what do you do to provoke a woman who was divorced, their family is so big again. ā€

Ping'an smiled: "I don't dislike it, why did the second aunt say this." Don't worry, when the good thing is near, I will go to the door and tell the second aunt. ā€

"What, you're still going to marry her?"

"Why not?"

Feng Bai felt a headache, if her son came to her and said this, she would definitely be angry, she asked, "Your mother will agree?" ā€

Ping An said, "She will agree." ā€

Feng Bai thought that this must be crazy. In the future, this village may not know how to spread the news of the Feng family, and how many people will be pointed at. She saw Ping'an's indifferent look, and thought to herself that Ping'an looked mature and steady, why was he still so out of tune. Could it be that a big girl who has not been married is not as good as a woman who has been married and raised a baby?

Here Yunzhu came to help settle the accounts, very skilled, neat and accurate, and later even the yellow butcher praised: "Song Niangzi is worthy of doing business by herself, that is, she is in the business." ā€

Yunzhu thought that although her education was not high, it was not difficult to add, subtract, multiply and divide.

No one bought the offal, the elbow Feng family left a pair, the other pair had already been bought, and the ribs were left. It didn't take long for less than half of the pig to remain.

Seeing this, Mrs. Feng hurriedly came up and said, "We won't sell these, we have to keep them for ourselves." ā€

There are still a lot of people waiting to buy meat, and when I hear this, I can't help but be a little disappointed.

Here the old lady whispered Yunzhu said: "You can help me fry two dishes." ā€

Yunzhu replied, "No problem. She found hot water to wipe her hands, and walked to the stove to take a look, only to see Tian Tian sitting in front of the stove to roast the fire, and Xiangmei was busy washing vegetables.

Yunzhu said: "I said why don't I see you, you will choose a place, it's really warm here." ā€

Xiangmei was about to make fun of Tian Tian: "Sister Song, it's ridiculous that you didn't see Tian Tian like that just now." I'm afraid of killing pigs, and I have to move forward hard, trying to see clearly, but it's funny. ā€

Tian Tian pursed his lips, snorted, and continued to roast the fire.

Yunzhu saw that the fresh pork liver and pork loin were placed in the basin, and he hadn't had time to wash them. She pointed and asked, "Are these going to be eaten for lunch?" ā€

Xiangmei nodded and said, "Yes, my mother said it." It's not easy to get it, so I asked Sister Song to help. ā€

"It's okay, I'll do it."

Yunzhu washed the pork loin, split it in half, and picked off the white fascia inside. Then I hit the flower knife, cut the hob pieces, marinated the rice wine and salt, and put it in a bowl for later use. (To be continued......)
