Chapter Eighty-Four: Killing the New Year's Pig

In the early morning of the next day, Xu Qing got up for one thing, to eat pig-killing rice with everyone.

When I came to the floor, I saw that all the maids and maids were already looking forward to it, and when they saw Xu Qing coming, they made a way.

The sun was rising in the east, the sun was red, and at this time, the old man Ni Bai shouted, and all the maidservants turned around, and some left far away. When killing pigs, women and children should "avoid evil".

This is to kill the New Year pig, but to kill the New Year pig can not be said "kill", but to say "slaughter". There was a sound of pigs' hooves next to the floor, and a group of big fat pigs swayed and shook their fat butts. These pigs had just eaten a meal on the road, and it was the time to leave the remains, and they were walking while pulling rice fields, completely unaware that they were dying, and for a while there were piles of black balls on the floor. This road meal is not only a humane, but also a way for the pigs to clean up the overnight droppings so that they can clean up their intestines.

Where the pig is squeezing and looking at everything around him, arching here and smelling there. The crowd of people around also looked at the ten fat pigs in front of them, pointing and talking about something.

"This year's pig can be fat, haha," one of the family said with emotion, and the other followed his words, longingly: "Wait for a pot of braised pork, you have to eat a few more pieces to moisten your throat......"

The former one immediately laughed and scolded: "You kid, I haven't seen you eat less meat on weekdays?" Why are you so greedy? ”

The latter immediately returned: "Cut, those bacon, where can it compare to the fresh meat that has just been killed?" ”

Another group of people, someone said strangely: "This pig is fatter, fatter than last year's, I have grown so big, I have only seen it in the past two years,"

An older family member said: "Hey, hey, this is not the credit of our master, pigs in other places, aren't they still so big nails?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately laughed and sarcastically said: "I said that you will shoot less horses, and our master is not in front of you." ”

Someone chimed in: "This brother is right, this life is good thanks to our master, but it is not good for this pig to grow fat and add it to our master." When our lord hears this, he may be even more unhappy. ”

When the older man heard this, he recalled his words in his heart: Master, this year's pigs have grown fat, thanks to you. Thanks to you, is it to borrow your seeds, or is it the old man who raised pigs? It's really not good, but he didn't show weakness, and said strongly: "Then tell me, what ......is the reason?"

When the man heard this, he smiled and said, "Hey, let me tell you, this matter is the credit of Steward Liu." It was he who cut the pigs, and these pigs grew so big. ”

Someone said loudly: "By the way, to tell you, we don't have pigs with handles in Hongshan Town!" ”

This sentence happened to be heard by Xu Qing, he shook his head, this Liu San, but he did the work of the gelding guy beautifully. Xu Qing glanced at the pigs on the floor and nodded incessantly, this person who raises New Year pigs also has technology, such a big New Year pig is rare in the countryside in later generations, right?

I saw a man bring a few old door pages and put them on the floor, and then the three pillars of incense were lit and burned with a knife of yellow paper.

Immediately, a person who killed a pig and killed a good pig came to take the knife, and the pig killer would stab the blood vessels in the neck, otherwise the blood would enter the bones and meat, and it would not be delicious. With Xu Qing's education, now Hongshan Town will not throw away the pig internal organs when killing pigs, and the person in charge of the knife must clean up the meat, loin, bones, blood, and water on the pig's body.

The pigs also seemed to know that it was not good, and began to get nervous, and turned their heads outward, forming a circle, and looking at the two retreating animals around them in fear. Xu Qing was invited to a safe place by Old Man Ni, and then only heard the roar of the palm knife, and the family members rushed up.

One lifted one leg and pressed the pig against the door panel. Nearly 300 catties of big fat pig, four people can't hold it, and they have to add two people to ride it to be able to suppress it. At this time, the man in charge of the knife came, aimed at the neck, and stabbed it in, and then someone brought a wooden basin to catch the blood.

One by one, the ten pigs came out of blood, and the people began to pluck their feathers. Before plucking, a small hole should be cut on the side of the pig's foot, and then the person blows on the small hole to blow the pig's belly to the fullness before shaving. The maidservant who had gone before was not idle, but boiled a pot of boiling water, which was also used for plucking.

Everyone was busy, Xu Qing looked on the side, the first pig was handled, and there was a chef to make the pig-killing rice. 100 people, want to eat a whole pig!

Xu Qing was more pleased, the advantages of this gelding pig have been fully reflected, the things fed to the pigs are leftovers, and even stolen goods, but when it comes to the pig, it has become meat. In the past, the people didn't care, because pork was cheap meat, and a pig had to be raised for a year or two, and there was not much meat. But now after the pig is castrated, the utilization rate of energy is greatly improved, the meat quality is more delicious, and the pig has the ability to replace beef and mutton.

The reason why people raise this kind of low-cost, high-profit livestock is that in the near future, the gelding will soon become a new high-paying profession. The slogan of the girls is, when you see the young man who is a gelding, you will marry!

A pig-killing meal, the Bofu of Luonan County who ate it couldn't bend over. At Xu Qing's table, there are naturally Xun Xue'er and Huang Shimei, but they eat less, after all, the chef's skills are far inferior to Xu Qing. Originally, Xu Qing didn't open a small stove just to "have fun with the people", and he didn't like to eat what others made, but Huang Shimei and the others kept giving Xu Qing vegetables, and they had to watch him finish eating before they were relieved. I couldn't bend down, and I didn't dare to hold my stomach, and I was uncomfortably panicked.

After dinner, the people went to collect the pork, sorted and cut it into pieces and put it in a large vat, and then collected ice cubes, and the snow was piled on the side of the vat. This preservation method can make the pork leave for more than ten days without reducing the umami.

Xu Qing rested for a while, and rushed to Hongshan Town with cattle grazing and others. There's still a lot of private money waiting to be withdrawn!

In Hongshan Town, all the merchants have already gathered together. Yang Wen squeezed out a large factory and arranged for them to sit there. According to Xu Qing's instructions, Yang Wen told the merchants that the auction would start in the morning, but it was delayed until the afternoon. So he just put the merchants aside and didn't care about them.

Despite this, the merchants were staying in the factory and no one wanted to leave, they had two meals a day, and it was time to eat the second meal. Still didn't wait for Xu Qing, and the merchants were hungry.

At this time, the man who watched the tea brought over the eleventh hot tea, and when the merchants saw it, they hurriedly asked:

"Little brother, I don't know if Uncle Xu has arrived in Hongshan Town?"

The guy watching the tea smiled and replied mechanically: "Uncle Xu has arrived on the way, please wait for a while." ”

This sentence started from the second time he sent hot tea, and now the eleven times he has said hot tea, not a word has changed.
