Chapter 55: Killing the New Year Pig

Bai Shengwu waved his hand: "Impatient, I don't want to show off any talent in the future, I want to be a general!" ”

Xu Wenlan was immediately happy: "Oh, the general who doesn't even know his name? It's funny! Others passed the military newspaper to the general, and the general said: Hey, hey, who is that, you read to me what this military newspaper says, the general is impatient! Master hurried over and read it to you. Oh, tomorrow, the enemy army will sneak attack, okay, let's ambush first, but I didn't expect that your general hadn't arranged his troops yet, and the enemy came by surprise, your general was captured, and asked angrily: Why don't you follow the written routine? The enemy smiled, beckoned, and your master came over in a hurry, dare to be affectionate, your master has already colluded with the enemy, and you are an illiterate general! ”

Hearing this, his face turned green, and Bai Shengwu glared at Xu Wenlan hatefully: "You just make up for me!" He said ruthlessly, but the person moved on the kang and looked at Bai Shengwen writing seriously.

Zhu smiled and looked at the three small people gathered around the kang table, his eyes and eyebrows were full of joy, but he just turned his head and looked at the other side, but sighed silently.

Seeing his daughter-in-law's expression in his eyes, a trace of guilt flashed in Bai Yingkui's eyes, he pulled down his head, bored for a long time, and got up and went out: "I'll go and add more firewood to the kang, so as to save ...... cold sleep."

In the countryside, there has always been a saying that "after Laba is the New Year", after Laba, every household, the New Year's goods that should be purchased will also be purchased.

One after another, some people began to kill New Year's pigs.

In the countryside, killing pigs is a big deal, in addition to their own family to help, but also to invite the butcher to come to the house, there are also neighbors and villagers to help, all to help is naturally to eat at home, even if you don't help, you will generally get a bowl of pig killing dishes.

This is the etiquette in the township, except that I don't know what the relationship with the neighbors is, most people will do it.

The Bai family's New Year pig has not been killed, and they have already got two bowls of pig-killing vegetables, sauerkraut vermicelli, with dark red blood sausage sandwiched in them, or a big bone, and some pig water and fat slices.

However, there are many Bai family members, and they don't eat anything after they are divided.

Xu Wenlan doesn't have much concept of killing New Year's pigs, the only thing she thinks is that the two pigs are finally going to be killed, but she doesn't have to be afraid that there will always be something chirping next to her when she goes to the toilet.

Bai Shengwu was very excited, he couldn't sleep well the first night, rolling on the kang and shouting "Kill the pig on the fifteenth day of the lunar month", and rolled over to push Xu Wenlan: "Which piece of meat do you want to eat?" I love to gnaw big bones, I'll gnaw a lot of them tomorrow, I'll give you a ...... which one you like."

At first, I heard Xu Wenlan straightforwardly, but after thinking about it, I was a little moved.

The Bai family is considered well-off, and there are still some meat stars every three or five days, but the amount of one piece per person is only one piece in the sky, sometimes the Li family eats a few pieces, and the Zhu family and the Wang family may not be able to eat a piece, thinking that the family can let go of the belly and eat meat, that is, the day of killing the New Year pig.

At this time, Bai Shengwu could still think about her, and he wanted to give her what she liked to eat, and he really hurt her as a sister.

Moved in her heart, Xu Wenlan decided that she must be gentle with Bai Shengwu from tomorrow, she thought very well, but when Bai Shengwu started to make a fuss in the yard in the morning, she was so annoyed that she couldn't do it, did she want to beat this bear child?

In winter, the sun rises late, but generally speaking, the clock is not bright at six o'clock, and the whole family gets up.

Especially today, the Bai family got up early, Bai Yingkui drove the carriage to pick up the scheduled Zhang butcher over, and the women in the family, except for the Fang family, who pushed and coaxed the child, were all busy.

Several pots are occupied, the fire is burning vigorously, this pig killing, water must be prepared enough, just to remove pig hair, I don't know how much water to use.

As soon as the water is boiled, the sauerkraut will be fished again, and the sauerkraut used to kill the pig today must have a small half tank.

After scooping up the sauerkraut, the two cutting boards were used, and Wang and Zhu took a knife to cut the shredded sauerkraut.

Before cutting it, Zhu Shi first took out the sauerkraut core and stuffed it into Xu Wenlan's mouth first, seeing that she was grinning sourly, he smiled happily, and beckoned Bai Cao'er and Bai Dai's brother, one person with one core, which made Xu Wenlan secretly call the little brothers.

Xu Wenlan ran to the backyard, and before she got close to the pigsty, she heard Bai Shengwu's excited scream.

The second and third uncles were all in the pigsty, and there were two uncles from the neighbor Wang family, plus two old men, Old Man Bai and Old Man Wang, and six men were catching pigs.

The pig has been raised for almost a year, fat and strong, there are no five or six strong men, it is really difficult to catch, I think I also know that the death period has come, the cry of the two pigs is extremely terrible, Xu Wenlan felt a little scared when he heard it, so he stood outside and called people, not to make it in.

After only two screams, the pigsty door was slammed open with a "bang", and a white pig rushed out in a panic, Xu Wenlan was so frightened that she was stunned and watched the fat pig with a head of about two hundred catties rushing towards her.

"Be careful......" suddenly bumped into one person from the side, Xu Wenlan fell to the ground, and only then did he know that he was afraid.

"How are you?" Hearing the voice, she blinked her eyes and looked at Bai Shengwen who pulled her up.

Grinning, Xu Wenlan wanted to cry a little.

"Coward, coward, I said you were a coward......" Turning her head suddenly, Xu Wenlan squeezed out a voice from between her teeth: "Brother, let's tell ghost stories at night......"

As soon as he heard that he was going to tell a ghost story, Bai Shengwu immediately stopped, and after a while, he asked again: "What are you talking about?" ”

As soon as the head was raised, Xu Wenlan ignored him at all.

In the end, the coat that was covered on the outside of the padded jacket was soiled, but fortunately, I was thinking about working today, and Zhu gave Xu Wenlan a ruined old clothes, and I went back to the house to change it.

When Xu Wenlan turned out, both pigs were caught, tied to their four hooves and thrown to the ground.

As soon as the butcher arrived, the slaughter began, and the table was set up in the backyard early in the morning, but it was not a good table to use, but a wooden board that Bai Yinglu got up early in the morning.

Once you kill a pig, blood is definitely indispensable, and you can't spoil the table.

Before the pig was brought to the table, many people came over to see the excitement, and there were many people standing in the backyard, and even outside the fence, there were climbing on the fence to watch the excitement.

Bai Shengwu squeezed to the front and beckoned Xu Wenlan over.

Xu Wenlan shook her head vigorously and refused to go over anything.

This scene is probably no worse than the special effects of American horror movies, so she better not scare herself.

Just the sound of the pig snorting scared her.

Along the gap, she vaguely saw two large wooden basins being placed under the table, and then, she heard the screaming of the pig, which was so miserable that Xu Wenlan trembled, but the sound gradually became smaller, and finally only a humming sound that was not clear was left.

Blood gushed out and flowed into the big wooden basin, and a large wooden brush kept stirring and stirring in the wooden basin, stirring up blood and water splashing, and there was a smell of blood.

Xu Wenlan turned her face away, and just closed her eyes.
