There are nursery rhymes sung like this in the folk, children, children are angry, and they are angry until the fifteenth day of the lunar month. On the fifteenth day of the lunar month @ don't kill pigs, the children are so angry that they cry.

Of course, for the killing of pigs for the New Year, not only children, but also adults smile every time they mention it. It's not just because killing pigs means that there will be delicious pig-killing dishes to eat, and there will be large bowls of bud grain wine to drink. The most important thing is that the peasants' lives are too poor, and there are very few people who are so generous to buy pigs and kill meat directly. And if the news of the pig killing in Nangou Village for the New Year spreads, it will definitely be a good thing for the whole village to have a long face.

So, when I got up early on this day, the faint frost between the mountains and forests had not even dissipated, and the whole village woke up. The chickens and ducks craned their necks in the circle and looked around, while the old dogs ran to the gate of the courtyard, twitching their noses and sniffing at the faint smell of restlessness and excitement in the air.

The naughty children of each family did not sleep well all night, and they jumped up in a hurry when they saw the dawn, and they ran out regardless of the padded jackets or pants that were put on their bodies indiscriminately. As a result, he was quickly caught back by his own mother, slapped his buttocks a few times, and sternly told him not to make people laugh without rules. Only then did he stuff him with a piece of bread to cushion his stomach, and finally let him go out.

At this time, in the courtyard of the Zhang family, the Chen family, the Dong family, Chun Nier's brother and sister-in-law, and Lizheng Niangzi had already arrived early.

Liu Housheng showed his skills yesterday to clean up the fat pig that was furious, and he felt that he had returned to his original bravery, and at this time he was shouting to use the knife himself, but unfortunately he was preempted by Dong Si with a smile, so he had to help pull the pig's head and pinch the pig's mouth.

The fat pig seemed to have foreseen the doom of being eaten soon, and struggled desperately on its hind legs. Originally, it planned to throw two pieces of poop to disgust these "enemies", but unfortunately it had no stock in its stomach after being hungry for two days, so it had to give up.

Dong Si held a five-inch-long pig-killing knife in one hand and patted the fat pig's front elbow with the other, shouting loudly into the newly erected grass shed in the corner of the courtyard, "Sisters-in-law, is the water boiled?" We're going to start going under the knife! ”

In the grass shed, Pu Cao, with Dong's fourth sister-in-law, Chen's second sister-in-law, and a few little daughters-in-law who are familiar with each other on weekdays, are busy boiling water, boiling bone broth, and cutting sauerkraut in front of the big stove. Hearing Dong Si's shouting, he responded with a smile, "Okay, a pot full of water is enough." ”

Sister-in-law Li took a clay pot and put it under the pig's neck, and then found a wicker with the thickness of a finger, washed it and held it in her hand. Dong Si is also a quick one, as soon as he saw that everything was ready, he raised his knife and quickly cut a two-inch-long cut on the pig's neck, and the fat pig only had time to scream and went straight to the underworld to reincarnate.

The naughty boys who had gathered not far away, waiting to see the excitement with great interest, were so frightened by this bloody scene that they ran to hide outside the courtyard like a hornet, which made everyone laugh.

As soon as Sister-in-law Li waited for the pig's blood to fall into the clay pot, she kept stirring it with wicker, for fear that the pig's blood would coagulate and it would be difficult to eat for a while.

Soon, the pig's blood flowed cleanly, and several little daughters-in-law immediately brought hot water out. The Chen brothers and Li Er hurriedly gathered in front of them, poured a scoop of hot water on this one, and took a piece of iron while it was hot and brushed it to scrape the pig @ hair. In less than a moment, the big fat pig was stripped of his "big sweater" and became white and clean.

Dong Si picked up the machete and unloaded the pig's head, opened his belly again, took out all kinds of hearts, livers and lungs and threw them into the clay pot that had been prepared long ago. It just so happened that Uncle Chen walked in with his hands behind his back at this time, and when he saw the large half of the intestines, he said, "I'll help wash the intestines, I'm good at this." ”

Pu Cao smiled and responded, "Okay, I often hear my aunt praise that the intestines you wash are the cleanest and smellless, so it will be annoying to the uncle." After a while, the blood sausage is filled, and the uncle will have to eat two more pieces. ”

The old man was coaxed into smiling and squinting, moved the basin and sat next to the grass hut, and called a group of smiling naughty boys to help. The boys were disgusted, but they were worried about eating blood sausages, so they had to pinch their noses and come forward to listen to the order.

Soon the people of the village estimated that the time was almost up, and they all gathered together. Dong Si had already quickly divided the pig's body into two halves, and it became many thin strips with a knife, each of which was about two or three catties. Chen Er also took the nickname that his family used to sell groceries, and each family carried it to him to weigh and pay for it.

Peach Blossom and Shanzi stood aside with a mahogany box, counting copper coins one by one and collecting copper coins one by one, with a tacit understanding and cleverness. provoked the villagers to praise them, and they all said, "This child is really like someone who has been living with for a long time, you see these two children, learn that their sister-in-law will do business." ”

Zhang Gui was originally pondering in the room, and felt that he should go out to help, after all, his own house was also a rare time. But as soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he heard the villagers say this, and immediately turned his head back and closed the door tightly.

Chunni was worried about her father and mother, and as soon as she steamed the steamed buns out of the pot, she ran from the stove to the gate of the courtyard to visit. Coincidentally, on the ox cart that turned around at the corner of the street, not all of them were sitting in the Li family!

She shouted in a loud voice of joy and chagrin, "Daddy, why are you here?" ”

Uncle Li stepped up the whip in his hand and flicked it twice, and in a blink of an eye, the ox cart arrived at the door of Zhang's house. Pu Cao heard the movement in the courtyard and greeted her, smiled and led the Li family to go inside. When Liu Housheng saw it, he hurriedly handed over the work in his hand to others, and stepped forward to salute his mother-in-law with a smile on his face. The people of Nangou Village who were familiar with the Li family also greeted loudly, and the courtyard was even more lively for a while.

Mrs. Dong and Mrs. Chen were gossiping in the house, and when they saw Chun Niniang's family coming, they were naturally close and polite. The magpie was busy serving tea and water, bringing snacks to the two children of the Li family, I don't know if she was infected by this lively atmosphere or the first time she saw such an interesting thing as killing a pig, she rarely had a smile on her face. provoked several old ladies to praise her, this girl is really handsome. The magpie blushed and hurried to the stove to help.

Soon, half of the pork was divided into fine pieces by the villagers, and everyone was happy to carry the fresh meat to their homes, wondering whether to stew a piece at night to satisfy their hunger.

Liu Housheng left a few neighbors and friends who got along well on weekdays to drink, and sent them to the house to drink tea, and went out to personally invite a few elders and Lizheng.

Chunni couldn't smell the smell of blood, so she borrowed tables, chairs and benches, and installed a table in the Zhangjiatang house and the inner room, and a table could also be placed in the empty space next to the grass shed, plus a table in the stove, which was just enough to settle everyone.

Sister-in-law Li looked at her sister-in-law's face with a smile about to bloom, and she was happy for her, but she was busy filtering the pig's blood in her hands, adding salt, chopped green onions, minced ginger, peppercorn noodles and other mixtures and stirring evenly. Li's second sister-in-law quickly tied more than a dozen small intestines with embroidery thread, and then broke open the intestines to help her sister-in-law pour pig blood into it, filled one and threw it directly into the hot water pot to cook.

Second sister-in-law Chen moved all the dishes and chopsticks in the house, and when she reached out to scoop hot water and wash, she saw that Sister-in-law Li was holding a long embroidery needle in her hand and piercing more than a dozen blood sausages tumbling in the pot from time to time, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Sister, what is your trick, does this blood sausage have to be deflated to be delicious?" ”

Sister-in-law Li wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead and replied, "Sister-in-law doesn't know, the most important thing to cook blood sausage is the heat." In this way, prick twice with a needle from time to time, as long as there is no blood and water, then it should be out of the pot, so that the boiled blood sausage is the most tender and delicious. ”

Chen's second sister-in-law and everyone on the side nodded again and again when they heard it, and said with a smile, "I learned another trick today." ”

Over there, Pucao was pouring sauerkraut into a large pot of bone broth, and the pickled sauerkraut was slightly yellow and transparent, tumbling in the milky white bone broth, plus large slices of pork belly and coarse vermicelli, simmering together, but in a moment the aroma of the yard was dispersed. provoked the people inside and outside the courtyard, and they all secretly swallowed their saliva.

If it is said that the Zhang and Liu families killed the New Year's pigs, not all the people in Nangou Village are happy for the two of them, and there is the family on the other side of the road, who is secretly annoyed and curses in private. Actually, I don't need to say it, everyone can guess it, it can't run away from the Zhang Er family and the Liu family.

Yesterday I got the news, and Aunt Zhang jumped at home and scolded God for not opening her eyes, so if the sluts who don't respect their elders don't get struck by lightning, the days are getting better and better?

Although Second Uncle Zhang was also angry, he couldn't stop flooding when he thought of the hot pig-killing dishes and the big bowl of bud grain wine.

Finally survived the night, got up early and walked around the yard, seeing that the villagers were passing in front of his house with fresh meat, but he couldn't expect his nephew to come and invite him. If he waited, he was afraid that the banquet would be opened, and he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet to make up his mind, planning to be cheeky and rub some wine and meat to eat and drink.

Dog Yu'er will lose every gamble these days, and his stomach has not been stained with oil and water for many days, although he can't help but tremble with fear every time he thinks of the stove hook of Pucao, but the stomach is uneasy, and at this time, he saw that his father took the lead, so he hurriedly followed.

The father and son hesitated and hesitated, and finally walked near Zhang's house, and happened to meet Liu Shuisheng, who was also forced by his father and mother to beg for food. The three of them glanced at each other, and without saying much, they tacitly pasted the three cheeky ones together as shields, and then slowly turned into the courtyard of the Zhang family.

Everyone was busy laughing, and when they saw these three people coming in, everyone closed their mouths, and their expressions were faintly disdainful. Zhang Er squeezed a smile and greeted everyone, "Everyone is here, our house is full of pig slaughter, and everyone is tired." Everyone should eat more meat in a while, don't be polite. ”

Everyone heard that he regarded himself as a master like this, and they all had the urge to spit on his face, and everyone had seen shameless, but there were too few people who used shamelessness as a weapon like this.

Pu Cao frowned, and she was also a little embarrassed in her heart, if it was according to her temper, it would be to pick up the broom and shovel and beat them all out to relieve the hatred. If you have meat at home, it is better to feed the dogs than to feed them. But at this time, so many villagers in the yard were watching, and she didn't want to go too far.

Chunnier also had a bad face, reached out and pulled Pucao's sleeve, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to pick it up?" ”
