Chapter 148: Killing Pigs and Entertaining Guests
Chen Erlin and Fang Jing, as well as a few men from Zhang Xiaoxia's mother's family, went to the back of the pig shed, Chen Erlin drove out the largest fat pig, this big fat pig has been raised for a year and a half, and its weight is estimated to be three hundred and thirty pounds.
After preparing everything, waiting for Fang Jing to prepare for action, Fang Jing came out in an old dress, sharpened the knife, handed the knife to Chen Erlin on the side, walked into the big fat pig, hugged it directly, put it on the wooden board, held the big fat pig with one hand, took the knife handed over by Chen Erlin with one hand, and went down with one knife, and a life ended.
The little dolls like to watch Fang Jing chop meat and shave bones, standing very close and watching, always thinking about touching the pork, Chen Erlin and Zhang Xiaoxia's family A few strong guys are also helping to get this and that, so lively, Fang Jing looked at the big fat pig in front of him, it was really fat and thin, although people now like this kind of fat and thin pig, at least you can get more lard.
"Jing Wazi, this pig has a lot of meat, it should have two hundred and fifty catties of meat, right?" Chen Erlin pointed to the meat containing several baskets and said.
"Uncle, the pork is estimated to be two hundred and fifty or sixty pounds, but there is too much fat and too little lean meat." Fang Jing took a knife to chop bones, these should be kept for bone broth.
A few women and girls went to the ditch to help clean up the internal organs, talking and laughing, knowing that Fang Jing's family still had three big fat pigs, they were all envious, killing pigs not to sell for money, just to eat meat.
"Xiaoxia, you are blessed, we are very envious of the big white rice and large pieces of meat every day, but it's a pity that we will have to wait until next year to raise a pig." Duan Shufen said to Zhang Xiaoxia with a smile on her face.
"Sister-in-law, this means that Jing Wazi is capable, if it weren't for Jing Wazi, we wouldn't know where to starve, it's been a good life in the past few years, but it's a pity that Xiaohui didn't have the life to enjoy the blessing of Jing Wazi." Zhang Xiaoxia said with some regret.
"Alas, this is fate, I want to come to this Fang family's mother, and now I am happy to look at it in the sky." Duan Shufen had already heard what Zhang Xiaoxia said, and naturally understood what Zhang Xiaoxia was talking about.
"Xiaoxia, look at your clothes, these shoes, and you can eat meat every day, we can't envy it, we can only say that your life is good." Yu Jiao was very envious of Zhang Xiaoxia and their family.
"Alas, this is also Jing Wazi's ability, if it wasn't for hunting some animals, we wouldn't be able to eat enough every day, Jing Wazi is now older, and people are starting to become lazy, so they love to bask in the sun and drink tea in the yard, living like an old man, I'm an aunt, I look sad every day, we know that Jing Wazi may have stayed in Fangjia Village for a long time, and I want to go outside to see, but I can't rest assured that the small group will go out, otherwise I guess I will go out early." Zhang Xiaoxia said to a few people.
"Mother, my cousin is not lazy, my cousin is sad, I miss my uncle and aunt, I secretly saw my cousin crying last time." Daying listened to his mother's words, a little disagreed, and hurriedly interjected.
"This ...... Alas, Jing Wazi didn't want to say anything in her heart, and she didn't want to say it when we asked, so she felt bitter. Zhang Xiaoxia stopped what she was doing and sighed.
The dinner that day could be said to be quite sumptuous, Fang Jing took out all the cooking skills, stir-fried fat sausages, braised pork, back to the pot meat, stir-fried shredded pork with lotus root, large pieces of stuffy meat, braised pork ribs, stewed pig's feet with peanuts, and finally a vegetarian stir-fried green vegetable.
"When everyone eats, don't be polite, be casual, don't follow the rules at the dinner table, and eat whatever you want." Fang Jing sat down and shouted to everyone.
The adults sit at the big table, and the little babies sit at the small table, which is what Fang Jing's family has always done, except for Fang Yuan, who basically maintains this mode of eating.
"Jing Wazi, this lotus root fried shredded pork tastes so good, why didn't I think it was so delicious when I ate it before." Zhang Xiaoxia fried meat with lotus root and ate it, and directly gave Fang Jing a big praise.
"Brother Jing, this pot meat is delicious." Xiaocao ate on the small table, and after eating a piece of back pot meat, she eagerly wanted to express her admiration for Fang Jing.
"Brother, this braised pork is better than the previous ones." The little girl started eating, but as soon as she started eating, she sandwiched a piece of fat and thin braised pork into her stomach.
"Well, yes, I have never seen these dishes of the Fang family, in addition to being good-looking, this taste is even more beautiful, it can be said that it is the best meal I have ever eaten in my life." Zhang Dachong was the first time he had eaten the food cooked by Fang Jing, but he hadn't eaten it when he came to Fang Jing's house last time.
"I don't say anything about this Fang family's big man's dish, what I ate last time was already delicious, and today is even more delicious." Yu Jiao praised Fang Jing.
"It's delicious, let's eat more, there is a lot of meat, I'm not afraid of not eating enough." As a chef, Fang Jing listened to others say that the dishes she made were delicious, and she was naturally happy in her heart, and her work was praised by others, and she couldn't be happy.
Needless to say after dinner, the little dolls at home know moderation, but a few children in Zhang Xiaoxia's family, but they can hold on, Yu Huilan is better, as a girl, she still maintains some reserve, but if you are a boy, it goes without saying, you basically pick up the meat and chopsticks, the big stuffy meat made by Fang Jing is really big, and it doesn't reduce the amount at all, the small plate is so big, and there are four big pieces in one big plate, Fang Jing was afraid that it would not be enough to eat, so she directly made eight large pieces of meat to make this big stuffy meat, but right now, The same disc action made Fang Jing realize the importance of meat in this world.
Although the official rich family does not eat pork, but the people hope that they can eat a piece of pork in their mouths, rich and status people are sneering at pork, in fact, it is not that pork is really difficult to eat, in fact, it is because the current pigs are not sterilized, and the agitation is heavy, and the villagers are basically not very good at cleaning, so day after day, pigs survive in that situation, pigs are small, they are sassy, dirty, ugly, rich and statused people don't say they eat, they want to vomit when they see it.
The pigs raised in Fangjia Village are first sterilized, and secondly, the pig shed basically has to be cleaned every few days, and the manure can be used as a source of nutrition for crops.
A pot of tea after dinner, this is Fang Jing's most enjoyable moment, the weather is colder, but it does not affect Fang Jing's enthusiasm for drinking tea, still sitting in the courtyard drinking tea, Zhang Xiaoxia went to clean up the bamboo house, Chen Erlin accompanied Fang Jing to drink tea, and the others drank fruit brew.
"Fang family elder, I have forgotten to tell you, these two are the sons of my eldest brother and sister-in-law, the eldest is called Zhang Dali, the younger is called Zhang Xiaoli, this is my son's name is Zhang Xiaotian, you give you Brother Jing a salute and say hello." Yu Jiao called the three boys and introduced them to Fang Jing.
From noon to dinner, Fang Jing didn't dare to call them at will, just waiting for someone to introduce them, although it was good to look at them a few thin and timid young men, but it couldn't make the family feel that the host's family was unfriendly, so Fang Jing had been avoiding this matter without asking or talking.
"Brother Jing is good." The three boys bowed to Fang Jing and said hello.
"Hello, I forgot to ask you, but if you are full, if you are not full, I will do some more." Fang Jing also got up and said hello to them, and asked casually.
"Brother Jing, we are full, we have all eaten, and the food cooked by Brother Jing is delicious." The three boys are not very expressive and a little reserved.
"That's good, you sit down and drink a bowl of fruit stuffing, don't be restrained, I never talk about that in this family, just be casual." Fang Jing said to them, and sat back in his chair.
"Fang family elder, this is my niece, her name is Yu Huilan, two years younger than you, Huilan, say hello to Brother Jing, you will have to move around more in the future." Yu Jiao called the only little lady over and introduced her to Fang Jing.
"Brother Jing is good." Yu Huilan bowed to Fang Jing a little shyly and said hello.
"Huilan, I've accepted so many younger brothers and sisters today, sit down and drink a bowl of fruit stuffing." Fang Jing hurriedly got up and responded, although I don't know why Yu Jiao introduced these children to him at this time, it seems that they are about the same age, they should have been introduced a long time ago, this point is introduced, I don't know why, Fang Jing didn't think about it, I thought I forgot it.
"Fang family elder, listen to your aunt, you are about to be seventeen this year, do you have a favorite little lady?" Yu Jiao finally asked what she wanted to ask the most.
"Aunt Jiao, this ...... I'm still young, I'm only seventeen, it's still early, but I don't have a favorite little lady. Fang Jing was a little sudden, and she was still a little confused.
"You're not too young, it's time to talk about a mother-in-law, you look at Dali, although you are a few months younger than you, isn't this year also a mother-in-law." Yu Jiao pointed at Zhang Dali and said.
"This, Aunt Jiao, let's not talk about the mother-in-law, okay? Let's talk about my mother-in-law in a few years, and I'll talk about it when my little sister is an adult, it's still early. Fang Jing really didn't want to talk about her mother-in-law, but she thought in her heart that Yu Huilan, who Yu Jiao had just introduced, must have wanted to introduce her mother-in-law to herself, and Fang Jing was afraid when she thought about it.
It's not that Fang Jing doesn't want to talk about a mother-in-law, but the problem is that this kind of matchmaker-like marriage, although it can guarantee that there will be no divorce in the future, but I don't know what kind of temperament or character, which makes Fang Jing's concept of his previous life create his current situation, and he has always been a little resistant to the current mother-in-law.
Fang Jing actually hopes to return to his previous life one day, even for a minute, but it is still just a dream, but at the moment he wants to say that a mother-in-law is married, which is unfilial piety for Fang Jing's parents in his previous life, Mencius once said: There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great. Shun married without telling him, and he had no queen. This married a mother-in-law without announcing her parents, which made Fang Jing really have a headache, but now that she is in the Tang Dynasty, what can she do?
"Fang family man, this matter, you can't delay it, this year is getting older and older, and it will be difficult to say mother-in-law when you are older." Yu Jiao continued to attack Fang Jing, hoping to open this gap in Fang Jing.
"Jing Wazi, what your aunt said is right, you are getting older and older, you have to talk about a mother-in-law now, otherwise your father and mother will not be at ease on it." Chen Erlin also opened his mouth and persuaded Yu Jiao to Fang Jing.
"Jing Wazi, it's not what my uncle said, it's just that you're getting older and older, and we, as elders, have to think about you, even if you don't think about it, you have to think about your deceased father." Chen Erlin continued to crit Fang Jing, a little so that Fang Jing couldn't stand it, and using his father and mother to press Fang Jing was already a dead end.
