Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, how could Huo Wu not understand his son's confusion, but he refused to say the reason directly, and asked him: "If I am still lying down today, change your main business, what will you do?" ”

Huo Bao thought carefully about the scene he had just seen.

The villagers are now divided into two groups according to their surnames, there are nine people on the Niu family's side, four old and weak women and children, and five young and strong; There are twelve people in the Huo family, seven are old and sick, seven are women and children, and five are young and strong.

It seems that the two families are evenly matched, and the Huo family is still the first in numbers, but the two families are really opposed, and it will only be the Huo family who will suffer.

Not to mention whether they are united or not, it is the Niu family who has run out of food, not the Huo family.

These people are all soft and afraid of hard, and hard are afraid of dying.

The Niu family has no way out, they will desperately grab food, but the Huo family will not fight to protect food.

It's really to the point of grabbing grain, the target is either Uncle Huo's family, or Huo Wu's family, not to mention the other Huo family members to help, it is not impossible to follow and rob.

Right now, it's not a bowl of soup or a bite of meat that can be sold well.

Sharing the broth with everyone can get a moment of gratitude, but it is more likely to cause evil in people's hearts.

When everyone is hungry again, they will think that the Huo family has meat, and they will wonder how much food the Huo family has.

Thinking of that possibility, Huo Bao was a little afraid.

"If it's a son, it will only be the same as my father, and the meat and food will be divided, everyone knows that our family has no food, and no one cares about our family!"

Huo Wu nodded and said, "That's right, only life and death are major events, and nothing else matters." Desperate for something that can be discarded, that's a big fool! Don't say that there is a back road at home, give up the food, even if there is no back road, fool the past first, and then hide out with the food, it is better than fighting with a group of red-eyed people. ”

The father and son didn't mention Huo Bao's "strange power", Huo Wu didn't want his son to be in trouble, he just wanted to play ruthlessly, and it hurt to beat others.

Huo Bao is still an ordinary person's mode of thinking, and he doesn't think of the ancestral strange power he has, one can resist several, and he is not afraid of the Niu family grabbing food at all.

No matter how transparent and cold he says, the father and son are not really ruthless, otherwise Huo Bao's strange power, Huo Wu's pig-killing knife, will he be afraid of a few unarmed farmers who walk when they are hungry?

is willing to pull, and it's just the best of both worlds.

There was movement in the yard, and the people who went back to get things came back one after another, and the father-son exchange came to an end.

It was past noon, and the spring breeze was slightly drunk.

The two large stoves at the base of the south wall have been burned, and the smoke is slowly cooking, and the dead village has come to life again.

The small courtyard was full, and about twenty people arrived.

The black pig on the ground howled tiredly, "hum chirp", and everyone swallowed saliva when they looked at it

Next to the black pig, there is a wheelbarrow, on which is half a sack of millet, more than 100 catties, this is all the food of Uncle Huo's family, and he has already released his words, and he will also share it after the meal.

People are old and refined, and they have gone through the world, and they didn't think about it before, so they can understand the crisis.

It is nothing more than the same in a desperate situation, whether it is a person surnamed Huo or a person surnamed Niu, everyone has a smile on their faces.

The water in the two cauldrons is boiling, and the pig killing case in the warehouse has been moved out, and the pigs can be killed.

The things that killed the pigs, machetes, machetes, sharp knives, and scrapers had already been laid out, and the wooden basins that received the pig's blood were also washed.

Among the dozen pairs of eyes, they are all fixed on Huo Bao.

Huo Bao's face did not change, and his heart was already like a drum.

This...... Although he is a butcher, because he is pampered by his father, he is afraid that people will be frightened, and he has not even seen a pig killed before he was ten years old. After I was ten years old, I saw it, but it was only my father's hand, and it was the first time I got started.

Probably because Huo Bao has been feeding for two months, this pig is not afraid of people at all, and "hum" raised his head to rub Huo Bao's legs.

Changing to other people, because they have been fed by themselves, they are entangled with a little "pigs are so cute, why do you eat pigs", and when you get to Huo Bao, your mind is full of pig bitter gall and pig lungs, and you think of "braised pork ribs" and "fried meat".

There was a reaction in my stomach again, and most of the half-pot porridge I ate in the morning was almost gone.

According to the signs of the previous two days, this hungry stomach is weak.

Huo Bao didn't dare to waste any more time, picked up the pig-killing knife, bled and shaved, disemboweled, broke the belly, deboned, and divided the meat.

Everyone began to talk and laugh, but there was no sound at some point, and there was only the sound of chopping meat and bones in the courtyard.

When he started to use the knife, Huo Bao's movements were still a little jerky, and after the appointment, he was smooth, his little face tightened, and he unconsciously carried a bit of murderous aura.

Huo Bao's movements are getting faster and faster, not fast, and the machete in his hand is getting heavier and heavier.

After cutting the last big bone, the pork was also divided into fist-sized pieces, Huo Bao's forehead was already sweaty, and his face was a little pale.

Huo Wu stood in the crowd and looked at his son who was tired, and greeted him when he saw this: "Okay, okay, just leave it, go back to the house and take a breath." ”

Uncle Huo also persuaded, Huo Bao glanced at the pig intestines and pork belly in the basin on the ground, and immediately acted obediently, put down the knife and washed his hands to go back to the house, and did not forget to greet his father and Uncle Huo.

It's okay to kill pigs, but it's impossible to turn over the intestines and pour out the manure, never will.

When Huo Bao got up, pig blood, clean meat, red water, and white water had been divided into several pots.

Seventy catties of live pigs, thirteen or four catties of bones, twenty-seven or eight catties of clean meat, and more than ten catties of water.

Pig bitter gall and pig lungs are the same, and they are placed separately in a sea bowl.

Huo Bao was still worried about concocting the pig's bitter gall, and he wanted to serve the bowl, but Huo Wu had already taken the pig's bitter gall, put it directly in his mouth, and swallowed it directly.

"Daddy? Spit it out! Huo Bao was taken aback: "This is to be roasted and ground to eat, not raw!" ”

"Haha, just go into your stomach, don't bother!!"

“……“

Huo Bao was afraid that his father would worry about eating pig lungs raw again, so he hurriedly carried the pig lungs and sent them to the kitchen to hang up.

Huo Wu opened his mouth and instructed a few women by the stove: "Clean up the white water, two cauldrons, one stew meat and bones, and one stew soup." ”

"Fifth Uncle Huo, don't worry, we're all right." A refreshing woman responded happily.

*

When he entered the hall, Huo Bao couldn't wait for the elders to sit first, so he walked two steps quickly and sat on a stool, which startled the two elders.

"Tired?" Huo Wu's face was full of distress, and he felt a little remorse in his heart. Even if his son grows strength, he is still a child in the end, and he should start by himself.

Uncle Huo saw Huo Bao rubbing his stomach, and guessed a little: "Is this hungry?" ”

The grandfather has "eclipse rice", and it is not uncommon for his own food to rise.

Huo Xiaobao smiled bitterly: "I ate a bowl of thick porridge from the five seas in the morning, and now I'm hungry again." ”

"Xiaobao, this is the amount of food!" Huo Dabo said

"Xiaobao has no oil and water in his stomach, and he can't be full as much as he eats!" Huo Wu felt sorry for his son and couldn't help regretting it: "It's better to kill the pig earlier, kill it quietly, and make bacon for my son to eat." ”

More than a dozen people waited outside with bowls, regretting that it was too late.

“……”

Huo Wu was still not at ease: "Let's look at it for a few days first, if it only increases the amount of food, it's okay to say, if there are others, I'll go to the county seat to take a look." ”

Thinking of the medicinal soup at this time, Huo Bao felt bitter in his mouth, but his father had a fatherly heart and couldn't allow him to say anything else.

*

For a while, the smell of meat permeated the entire courtyard.

Three tables have been set up in the courtyard, and stools of various colors have been set up according to the head.

Smelling the smell of meat, everyone stopped gossiping, holding a rice bowl bigger than their face, and their eyes were glued to the stove.

There were four women by the stove, and two children of seven or eight were burning the fire.

Widow Huo prides herself on being her own family, and she is careful to think about it, estimating that the heat of the porridge pot is almost the same, she took the spoon first, took a bite of it, took a bite of it, and said with a little pride and expectation, and said loudly: "The meat is good......

Widow Huo had already been optimistic about two pieces of hind leg meat, which were as big as fists, and she had already assigned them in her heart, one for her son and one for herself; There is also a palm-sized pork belly, which is left at the bottom of the porridge, and then fished out for his son and himself when the second bowl is played. The beauty she pondered by herself, the corners of her mouth were wet, and her face was also brought out.

Her sister-in-law saw it in her eyes, looked at her faceless and skinless, and didn't want to suffer in vain, so she turned back to the stone and said, "Your fifth grandfather's meat, go and call your fifth grandfather to divide the meat!" ”

The stone went in response, leaving only Widow Huo puffing out her cheeks, rushing her sister-in-law's luck.

When he came to the stove, he heard that everyone was waiting for him to divide the meat, Huo Wu directly pushed his son: "Xiaobao go!" ”

Dividing meat and porridge is not a hard job, Huo Bao responded, took a spoon, glanced at everyone in the yard, and made a decision in his heart.

He first took out two bowls of porridge, one bowl put a piece of hind leg meat and two pieces of pork belly, and these two bowls were for Daddy Huo and Daddy.

The two of them are elders, as they should be, and the others can't help but nod their heads when they see it.

There was another bowl of porridge, with a piece of pork belly and two pieces of tenderloin, which were the old gangsters of the Niu family.

No matter what his character is, this person is in his fifties, and he is the highest ranking person in the Niu family, and he is passable.

Next, there were six bowls, each with a piece of meat and a rib, which were divided among the four women and their two children.

"With Xiaobao's light, you can eat meat first, this meat is fragrant!"

"Thank you, Brother Bao!"

"Thank you, Uncle Bao!"

The two children, a boy and a girl, are well-behaved and smart.

Although others were a little puzzled by Huo Bao's order, Uncle Huo looked at it in his eyes, touched his beard and said: "I know how to respect the elderly, and I can also take care of women and children, Xiaobao is a benevolent and righteous person who follows the master." ”

"Brother Bao is filial and sensible, and Fifth Uncle Huo's blessing is behind."

"Yes, yes, Uncle Bao can kill pigs, this is the right way to kill pigs!"

“……”

Huo Bao only smiled shyly, and for the remaining dozen or so people holding the basin, he greeted the front in order according to the seniority and the age after the next, and estimated the weight, most of the people had half a pot of porridge, and there were meat and bones.

The pig was killed by Huo Bao, and how many bones and how many pieces of meat were divided were in his heart, and after a round, there was only a piece of pork belly left in the pot, a rib, which happened to be Huo Bao's share, and a small half pot of porridge.

The others couldn't wait to eat it, and the yard was filled with the sound of chewing meat and bones.

"Delicious ......"

"Hey, I have a plate of oil in this bowl, fragrant ......"

"After eating this meal, it's worth dying immediately."

"I can't stop my mouth when my mouth is full of meat, what do I say on a good day!"

“……”
