"Squeak ~ squeak ~ " A fat big black pig was tied to the stone slab, maybe it had a premonition of its fate, so it began to roar desperately, complaining about the injustice of the heavens, in despair it hoped that there would be a hero at this time, driving the colorful auspicious clouds to save itself, but at this time the hero did not see, but the butcher had raised the butcher knife to attack it.

"Slow!" At this moment, suddenly a righteous and awe-inspiring voice broke off, and the butcher who was about to go under the knife finally stopped, which made the already desperate black pig suddenly burst out with a burst of hope, and looked at the young man who interrupted the butcher's action with wide eyes, in its dark eyes, this young man seemed to be exuding pure white light, and there was still a colorful auspicious cloud under his feet, this is his own hero!

"Uncle Big Eyes, you are too wasteful, pig blood can also be eaten, and all the blood will flow into this basin later!" Li Xiu said and took out a big basin from his back and put it under the pig's neck, just now he saw that Liu Dayan was about to go under the knife, but there was no basin to receive blood below, it is estimated that the people of Datang do not have the habit of eating blood tofu, so this is how to stop the other party.

After the basin was placed, Li Xiu signaled that Liu Dayan could go under the knife, speaking of which killing pigs is a technical job, and it is necessary to find the right place to kill with a knife, Liu Dayan's father-in-law is a butcher, and he sometimes goes to help, so he will also kill pigs, otherwise he has to hire a professional butcher, although he does not need to give money, but in the end it is the butcher's remuneration to go into the water and the like, and now Liu Dayan does it, these things will naturally be saved.

"Squeak~~" At this time, the black pig on the slate suddenly let out a heart-rending roar, which shocked Li Xiu and couldn't help but pluck his ears, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, he felt that the cry of the black pig at this time was particularly miserable, and even a little decisive, which made Li Xiu can't help but shake his head, it seems that the impact of crossing on himself has not subsided, and there will be such a bizarre hallucination.

Liu Dayan raised the knife and stabbed it at the major artery in the neck of the black pig, as the knife was withdrawn, a stream of dark red blood spurted out, and the black pig's terrible cry slowly weakened, and the struggle became weak, and finally passed away with full anger and unwillingness.

After the pig died, Liu Dayan immediately cut a small hole on the pig's feet, and poked a few times with a long iron bar, and then began to blow inside, so that the whole pig body swelled up, and then put it in the pot of boiling water to scald the pig hair, and then use a special scraper to scrape the pig hair, because the pig body has gas, is held round, it is very convenient to shave, and in some inconvenient places, it is necessary to use the boiled rosin to pour it up, and the pig hair is sticky down.

Killing pigs is a cheap industry that is looked down upon, but every time a pig is killed, there will be a large circle of people around, at this time it is completely the performance time of the pig killer, everyone is attracted by his every move, it is estimated that Liu Dayan's current mood is similar to those stars who held concerts in later generations, and here they are the focus.

The black pig that went to the hair immediately became white and tender, and the next picture was somewhat inappropriate for children, the whole pig was hung up and disemboweled, if it was placed in the later generations, it would definitely be a picture of children who were not suitable for children, but at this time there was not so much attention, the happiest thing around was the children in the Zhuangzi, and even swallowed saliva while watching, looking at these greedy children, Li Xiu also had to admire their heavy taste, after all, he could drool over a bunch of colorful intestines, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

The fire has risen on the threshing floor, a large iron pot is on the fire, the water in the pot has been boiled, the heart, liver, kidneys and other internal organs have been cleaned, and they are thrown directly into the cauldron to boil, and there are some not very good parts of the pig's body, as well as some big bones and sticks, etc., all of which have been thrown into a pot to boil.

Li Xiu even saw Liu Dayan turn over a basin of intestines and rinse it twice, and then he was about to pour it into the pot, so frightened that he hurriedly stopped it, according to his words of washing it like this, it is estimated that the soup boiled out has a smell of pig, others can not care, but he can't not care, so he decided to deal with these intestines himself, in addition to pig's head and pig's feet, all let Liu Dayan keep it for him, if they are all thrown into the pot and boiled together, it will be too bad.

Some people like pig intestines, and some people are disgusted when they see them, Li Xiu belongs to the former type, he took the pig intestines to the well and prepared to clean the road himself, but at this time Liu Boss's daughter Su Niang ran over, and Li Xiu did not let Li Xiu do it, because everyone in Zhuangzi thought that Li Xiu was a scholar, and he was not allowed to do this kind of dirty work at all, and in the end Li Xiu couldn't resist Su Niang, so he had to guide her to clean her intestines by the side.

Although the intestines are delicious, they are very troublesome to clean, first sprinkle flour to remove the mucous membrane on the surface of the intestines, and then rub them with salt, these actions were seen by Liu Boss and others next to them, one by one distressed straight pumping, although there is money in the Zhuangzi, but they are still very thrifty, and they are not willing to waste any food, which is also fortunate that Li Xiu did this, otherwise if he was replaced by his own boy, I am afraid that he would have been beaten half to death by them with a stick.

The intestines were washed, Li Xiu took out a section, made a blood sausage with the adjusted pig blood, and fried the other part, of course, he also commanded the Liu family's mother-in-law to cook, and the result was immediately praised by everyone after it was done, and it was robbed in the blink of an eye.

This made Li Xiu a little proud, thinking that his cooking skills had conquered everyone, but later he found out that as long as there was meat, no matter what dishes would be robbed, such as the internal organs and bones in the big iron pot, they were robbed as soon as they were cooked, and in the end there was not even a little soup left.

Looking at a three-year-old baby holding a pig bone thicker than his thigh and gnawing on his face, Li Xiu suddenly remembered that when he was a child, the conditions were not good at that time, and every time he ate meat, it was like the New Year, and the mood at that time should be similar to these farmers in front of him, as long as there is meat to eat, it doesn't matter how it tastes.

Li Xiu was the main family, and Boss Liu personally served him a bowl of boiled pork, but Li Xiu immediately lost his appetite when he received it, because the bowl was full of big fat meat, and he couldn't see even a trace of lean meat, which was not that Boss Liu pit him, but in this era, pigs were free-range, like raising sheep all over the ground, and eating grass, so pigs were all lean and fat, and fat meat was very delicious in the eyes of the ancients, and only the elderly or distinguished people could enjoy it.

I didn't see the smell of meat for more than half a month, Li Xiu was also very greedy, but not to the point of eating the big fat meat as a meal, just at this time Su Niang was holding a small basin, which contained a lot of meat and bones, Li Xiu loved to gnaw on this, so he snatched Su Niang's small basin, and then stuffed his fat meat to her, at first Su Niang refused, worried about being scolded by her father, but Li Xiu said that she was grateful to her for helping her deal with her intestines, so she had to accept it, and finally the little girl reluctantly nodded, and ran with a big bowl to gobble up with her two younger brothers.

After a lively pig-killing meal, Li Xiu then helped everyone divide the pork, he was a single, so he only took two catties of pork, and there was also a pig's head and four pig's feet, and the rest of the large pieces of meat were all distributed to Liu Boss and them.

In the afternoon, Li Xiu chopped the meat into meat filling alone at home, the noodles had been sent ready to make dumplings, in his previous life his hometown was located in an ordinary small village in the Central Plains, he had a very hard time when he was a child, dumplings were also a rare delicacy for his family, and later the standard of living improved, as a result, every festival, no matter what kind of festival, the family will make dumplings, the winter solstice and the New Year needless to say, even the Dragon Boat Festival, National Day is also dumplings.

Today's Lidong, if he was still in his previous life, it is estimated that his family is also making dumplings, but unfortunately now he has come to the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago, and dumplings have not become popular, but it doesn't matter, anyway, he doesn't have any family now, and he eats by himself, which can be regarded as a kind of nostalgia for his previous life.

Li Xiu's favorite dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage, pork is available, but cabbage is not, he remembers that cabbage seems to be a cross between two vegetables, and he can try to do it in the future. Li Xiu is going to make dumplings stuffed with pork and radish, because there is only a vegetable like radish in winter, as for using bean sprouts to make filling, firstly, he has never eaten it, and secondly, bean sprouts are too expensive, and the situation in Zhuangzi has just improved, so it is better to keep the bean sprouts and sell them for money.

Adjust the filling, roll the dough, wrap the dumplings, wait until the water boils and then put the dumplings, the dumplings are cooked after a few rolls, Li Xiu's hometown likes to eat dumplings with soup, at this time put salt, vinegar and green onions in the soup, if there is coriander it would be better, wait until the soup is ready, fill yourself with a bowl, eat dumplings and drink sour soup, the original soup into the original food, how much you eat is not greasy.

Two big bowls of dumplings under the stomach, Li Xiu also felt a little supportive, it was already dusk, so he went out to walk along the river, the Li family Zhuangzi on the opposite side was also smoking, every household was cooking, there was a faint smell of meat in the air, if you listened carefully, you could even hear the laughter of the children, which made Li Xiu also feel a faint happiness in his heart.

Unconsciously came to the Yellow Canal, a tall, mighty middle-aged man with fishing tackle walked from the river, this middle-aged man was the middle-aged man surnamed Ma who gave Li Xiu a roast chicken, but the other party didn't seem to have a good impression of Li Xiu, and saw him snort coldly and left, which made Li Xiu smile helplessly, it seems that he really offended the other party last time.

happened to meet this middle-aged man surnamed Ma, Li Xiu suddenly remembered that he had been busy with bean sprouts for half a month, and he forgot to ask Boss Liu about the origin of the other party, and listened to the information revealed by the other party before, he should be a military general of the Tang Dynasty, and he can eat in the same pot with Li Jing, and the level should not be low, but he really can't remember which general surnamed Ma in the early Tang Dynasty?

Thinking of this, Li Xiu wanted to go to Liu Lao and everyone to inquire, but now was the time for dinner, if he went now, it was estimated that he would inevitably be pulled to sit down and eat together, so in the end he decided to ask again tomorrow.

It's just that what Li Xiu never expected was that he hadn't gotten up the next morning, and was suddenly woken up by a rapid knock on the door, and when he went out of the room with his clothes on, he heard Su Niang's mournful shout outside the door: "Master, open the door quickly, my father and they have an accident!" ”
