Chapter 104: Killing the New Year's Pig (2)
When Master Xiong aimed the pig-killing knife at the neck of the big white pig and stabbed it hard, he heard a scream that shocked the four wilds burst out from the mouth of the big white pig, and the frightened few strange-looking dogs around ran away in panic.
A large round basin is placed under the neck of the big white pig, when Master Xiong pulls out the pig killing knife that stabs into the pig's body, a stream of pig blood that is still steaming gushes out, Master Xiong picks up the basin and aims at the direction of the pig's blood spraying, and most of the blood will flow into the basin.
If you want to eat delicious and delicate pig blood, you must add an appropriate amount of salt and a certain proportion of water to it when the pig blood has not yet coagulated.
Killing pigs is a physical job, but it is also a technical job. Especially when the pig killing knife is stabbed into the pig's neck, the position must be accurate, and the depth must be pierced to the pig's arteries, otherwise if the big white pig is not killed, the pig will still have the strength to toss, which is a very dangerous thing.
It turned out that there was another incident, that was when Liu Yi was a child, a villager killed a New Year's pig, it may be that the pig killer stabbed the knife crooked when killing the pig and did not cut the artery and blood vessels of the pig, but the fat pig struggled, and several big men couldn't hold it.
He also aroused its ferocity, arched when he saw people, and ran away after breaking away from a few people, and the villager followed the blood of the pig, and when he found the pig, the pig had already run 10 miles away.
It's still bleeding all over its body, and it really has no strength. So they looked for ropes and tools and carried it back from a long distance, and when they got home, it was past noon.
Recalling the interesting memories of his childhood, Liu Yi and everyone pushed the dead fat pig to the ground. Another pig was about to be killed, so the villagers dragged this one aside, and the eldest aunt had already prepared the boiling hot water.
Master Xiong didn't have time to talk much, so he scooped the boiling water in the bucket into the pig, and plucked the pig hair that had just been scalded with water while scooping the water.
After a while, a hairless fat pig with white flowers all over its body was presented in front of everyone, and Master Xiong took a breath: "Let's go, let's kill the next pig, this one will be put here for the time being, and we will take care of it together." ”
The next thing was the same as this, under the calm command of Master Xiong, everyone successfully solved the four fat pigs, and there were no accidents in it, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, at this time, even Liu Yi felt a little weak.
His main task is to hold the fat pig's body and prevent it from moving too violently, four heads in a row is not a joke, not ordinary people have already been tired and lying down.
Everyone can imagine how much strength the fat pig has when it is dying and struggling, except for Master Xiong who pressed it on the front half of the pig's body when he killed the pig, Liu Yi was responsible for holding the other bodies.
After a while, Master Xiong couldn't help but praise Liu Yi: "I see that you don't come out." The body is not very strong, but the strength is much greater than that of the average person. ”
"Hehe, it's really much better to go back to the village for long-term exercise now than to work in the city." Liu Yi replied with some embarrassment.
"Not bad, not bad. I think most of the young guys in the city are powerless, and the ones in the countryside are much better than them. ”
Liu Yi was a little embarrassed, thinking that the types of work he was engaged in were different, how could they be compared. Isn't it a joke that people who sit in the office all day long in the city can be compared to those who have been working as manual laborers in the countryside for a long time!
After resting for a while, Master Xiong started working again, and there were 4 big white pigs with white flowers next to him to keep him busy. Liu Yi couldn't be idle, and followed a few villagers to fight on the side.
Under the orders of Master Xiong, several people first carried a pig and hung it upside down on the rope that fell from the beam, which was about to disembowel the pig.
After hanging up, it was Master Xiong's turn to play, but the first thing to do was to cut off the whole pig's head, I saw him take the basket he brought to hold the pig-killing tools, took out a sharp knife, and turned around the neck of the pig, a head was still connected to the bones, and a pig's head was taken off in a moment after taking out a machete.
Take the pig's head to the villagers waiting around, and then without stopping, quickly cut it from the middle of the upside-down fat pig's belly, the knife is also extremely sharp, and the skin and flesh will be broken where the knife passes, but it can't be completely cut in the stomach, and now the mouth cuts open the internal organs in the stomach and will flow out.
After drawing a long hole with the skin and flesh open, Master Xiong took the dustpan, which is indispensable for rural families, and put a few huge banana leaves on the dustpan. After calling the villagers who were doing chores on the side, Master Xiong used a sharp knife again to cut the uncut inner fat on the pig's belly, quickly put the knife away, and then dusted the poured out pig offal.
Then he asked the villagers to carry it to the bench and put it away, and he replaced it with a machete. Liu Yi stood on the other side, this is Master Xiong is going to cut the pig into two pieces, and the other side must wait to be carefully connected, otherwise it will stain the pork if it falls to the ground.
Today, the uncle's family cut a lot of banana leaves and came back, all of which were pork that would be spread on the ground so that a few pigs could be placed.
Soon, under the exquisite craftsmanship of Master Xiong, several pigs were cut into two large pieces and placed on the ground beside them. Leave the meat alone, clean up the internal organs of the pig while there is still some temperature, and it will not be soft and oily after it is cold.
I remember when I killed New Year's pigs when I was a child, it was Liu Yi's first moment. Without toys, he and his peers can play for a long time with a urine bag that has just been taken out of the pig's belly.
The simple way to play is to let go of the pig urine inside, clean it several times, pour in water, and find the parent brother rope buckle. A few bear children chased each other and played, and they also had a lot of fun.
However, now Liu Yi doesn't have the mind of his childhood, and the pig urine bag has become some home remedies, and I heard that it can also cure a lot of diseases.
Cleaning pig offal is a job that requires great patience, pig heart, liver, kidney, heart and lungs, the rest of the large intestine must be careful, not impatient. Seeing Master Xiong skillfully tear off the horn oil attached to the large intestine, he instructed the uncle to find a wooden bucket for picking dung and squeeze all the feces left in the large intestine into the bucket.
It's almost noon, and the pigs have been killed since 7 o'clock today, and the pig intestines of several pigs have been basically cleaned up until now. The remaining pork was only broken down after lunch.
At noon, everyone also eats simply, and in the evening, the uncle's family also invites guests, the annual pig killing wine, as long as the neighbors and relatives at home who usually have a good relationship are coming, which also celebrates the uncle's family's solid meaning.
It is necessary to know that in the countryside in the past, only large families with good family backgrounds had the ability to raise pigs, and I don't know when the custom of eating pig killing wine continued in Langdao.
