Chapter 3 Killing Pigs and Wishing Again
Everyone understands killing pigs, this wish is what is going on at home in the Northeast, make an oath, say what, if it happens, you have to fulfill the oath you made, and the rural side is generally killing pigs.
The group returned to the back room, and the second brother and daughter-in-law stayed there to coax the children. The sad faces of the family are gone, and they are all happy. The second brother took out a red envelope and handed it to Zhao Zhiyuan, saying, "Zhiyuan, take it, don't be too little."
Zhao Zhiyuan took the red envelope, pinched it, and got 2,000 yuan to say the least, thinking in his heart: These two brothers seem to be earning money by working in the city in the past few years, and they are red envelopes and pig killers, so they are quite willing.
What's reluctant, this kid saw this circle of diseases, and it cost 20,000 yuan if he didn't look good, not to mention that people were optimistic, and the second brother felt that this red envelope was less, and a pig was more money.
Zhao Zhiyuan took out the money in the red envelope, didn't count how much it was, took out two of them, stuffed them back into the red envelope, put them away, and returned the rest of the money to the second brother.
"It's a little interesting, this money will buy some delicious supplements for the eldest nephew."
How can the second brother ask for it, hurry up and push it back.
"Don't tear me up, this is not for you."
The two let go back and forth a few times, and the second brother saw that Zhao Zhiyuan really didn't want the money, so he put it away, lit a cigarette for Zhao Zhiyuan, thought about it, and said: "Zhiyuan, the second brother still has to beg you for something, you can get the main knife for killing pigs today." ”
"Well, you're still up to me."
"Haha."
Everyone in the room laughed, Zhao Zhiyuan did not shirk, after smoking, he asked the second brother for the clothes to put on, and rolled up his arms and sleeves to prepare to kill the pig.
To be honest, this pig killing really can't ask for others. In the early years, there were special pig killers who killed pigs, and now this profession has long disappeared, so Zhao Cannon, who is a hunter, took over the job, and Zhao Zhiyuan followed his grandfather to hunt in the mountains over the years.
A group of people came out of the house in a hurry, and people kept coming in at the gate, all holding dishes and stools in their hands, all of whom had heard about the killing of pigs and came to help.
In the middle of the yard, a few stick boys had already tied the pigs and put them on wooden shelves. The big fat pig has about 300 catties, which is a serious rural stupid pig that has not been fed and kept for his own food.
Next to a large diesel barrel driven with bricks, there was a wooden stumbling block burning underneath, and the water in it was already boiling, and someone went to use a water scoop to fill it with water, and poured it on the neck of the big fat pig where it was going to be knifed, and shaved the hair there.
Zhao Zhiyuan took the sharpened pig-killing knife, scraped the blade with his fingertips, and when he looked up, he saw a little girl about twenty years old leaning against the wall to watch him happy, and she looked quite delicate. He also made fun of the people and said, "Can you give me a hair of yours?"
The little girl was stunned when she heard this, hesitated to pull off a strand of hair, and handed it to Zhao Zhiyuan. The kid took the girl's hair and blew it on the blade, and suddenly the hair split in two and slowly fell to the ground. The little girl looked at Zhao Zhiyuan's whole play, she was ashamed and angry, and turned around and went back to the house.
Zhao Zhiyuan looked at the back of the girl and said to himself: "The little girl is very good-looking, but she is a little lacking in heart." Indeed, the courtyard is full of old men, how can there be a woman, who will kill the pig's blood and pull it red, she is afraid of being scared, and this little girl doesn't know if she is really stupid and stupid to watch the excitement there.
How did Zhao Zhiyuan know that the little girl was actually running for him. The little girl sees that Zhao Zhiyuan is not much older than her, and she is still a college graduate who lives in the city when she listens to other people's conversations, but she will ask the fairy to see a doctor, and she is so powerful, no one can see it well, he will take care of it, and he will kill pigs when it is over, the key is that he is quite energetic. The girl grew so big, when had she ever seen such a person, she was inevitably a little curious, so she followed.
Zhao Zhiyuan didn't pay attention to the girl's stubble, walked to the big fat pig with a knife, touched the place where the knife was going to be cut with his hand, and said to a few young men: "Brothers, press it."
After saying that, he took the knife and stabbed it into the pig's neck with a "poof" until it was out of control. Looking at the big fat pig twitching twice, there was no movement. Zhao Zhiyuan pulled out the blade, and immediately the pig's blood remained, and someone next to him had already placed a big basin underneath. The pig's blood flowed into the basin, and a person came over with a bud rice stalk, split a piece on it, propped it up with a small wooden stick, and kept stirring in the basin, which was to prevent the pig's blood from coagulating.
When the pig's blood was cleaned, several people began to pour boiling water on the pig to remove its hair. Zhao Zhiyuan went back to the house and took the stove hook to burn red in the fire, straightened it with pliers, and pounded it back and forth in the pig's ears and nostrils. This pig hair must be cleaned up, otherwise the pig skin will have a muddy smell in the mouth.
The hair was shaved clean, rinsed a few times, and a few stick boys put the pig into the house, or it was not more than ten degrees below zero outside, and the pigskin was hung with water outside, and it would freeze after a while.
Zhao Zhiyuan picked up the pig-killing knife, cut open the belly, took out the water of the heart, liver, spleen and lungs, and put it on a plate to clean, and the belly and intestines had to be cleaned up. The belly tastes big, you have to take it out of the house first, and after the intestines are taken out, someone has to sort it out, separate the large intestine and the small intestine to keep the blood sausage, and the bitter intestine and the meat are put into the pot together.
After going into the water to pick them, Zhao Zhiyuan chopped off the pig's head and tail, put them aside, and said to the second brother: "I keep these two."
"Hey, that's the one you like."
In the early years of killing pigs, pig killers would pick up the deputy and go into the water, and the pig's head owner wanted to keep the ancestors to worship, but now there are not so many words, Zhao Zhiyuan is good again.
Zhao Zhiyuan saw that the second brother agreed, and began to unload the meat. The knife is fast, the knife is accurate, there is not much effort, the bones are bones, and the meat is meat. There's nothing to do with Zhao Zhiyuan now, just waiting to eat.
Zhao Zhiyuan changed his clothes, washed his hands, held a cigarette, and leaned against the door frame to watch people's flesh. The water in the cauldron is boiled, and a large piece of pork with skin, heart, liver, bitter sausage, heart meat and large bones are thrown in, and green onions, ginger, garlic, dried chili peppers, and ingredients are added. After a while, the blood sausage is also filled, the two ends are tied tightly, and it is put on the side of the pot, at this time, the lid of the pot can not be fully covered, and a slit has to be embedded, so that you can look at the blood sausage, and see that the casing is slightly bulging, you have to take a pin to prick a few eyes on it, and release the gas, or the blood sausage can be fried.
He was looking at it here, and he felt that someone twisted the soft flesh on his waist, and he shivered in pain, and when he fished it out, he pinched a tender little hand, Zhao Zhiyuan turned around, and it was the girl who lacked heart.
The girl was laughed at by a few little daughters-in-law when she went back to the house just now, and she also understood that Zhao Zhiyuan was afraid that she would be afraid when she killed the pig. At this time, seeing Zhao Zhiyuan lying there alone, I wanted to go over and tease him.
"Why don't you come into the house and go have tea and chat with them."
"Hey, I just like to watch people cook, it's funny."
The girl chatted with Zhao Zhiyuan for a few words, only to realize that her hand had been holding this in someone's hand, the girl didn't react, and Zhao Zhiyuan was also pretending to be stupid. The girl hurriedly pulled out her hand, slapped Zhao Zhiyuan's arm lightly, and ran away with a red face. It took people to take advantage of such a long time before they reacted, and you also said that this girl is not lacking in heart. Zhao Zhiyuan is also idle, chatting with people here.
The lid of the pot was closed, and there was nothing to see, so I went to the kitchen for a walk. A few eldest ladies were cutting sauerkraut "clicking", and the eldest girls and little daughters-in-law packed up the side dishes to be used, and when they saw Zhao Zhiyuan coming over, they were pushed out again.
Zhao Zhiyuan could only find a place to play with his mobile phone, he was really not happy to enter the house, the house was filled with smoke from a bunch of old men, and he couldn't see anyone when he went in, although he himself smoked, but he couldn't stand it, and the key was mixed with the smell of feet on the kang.
After a while, the meat in the cauldron is almost complete, and you can pierce it with chopsticks, which is good. The contents of the pot were taken out, and the sauerkraut began to be put into the pot, and the sauerkraut had to be boiled for a while, and the more it gurted, the better it tasted.
The meat taken out of the pot cools a little and is ready to be changed. Large pieces of meat are cut into thick slices, so chewed to be fragrant, the pig's heart is torn into a piece, the pig's liver is broken into small pieces by hand, the bitter intestine is cut into sections, and the meat on the bones has to be torn off, which is called bone-splitting meat, the bones are all big stick bones and hararaba, harappa is the shoulder blade, and cutting the blood sausage is the most skillful, you have to carry the casing in one hand, the knife has to be fast, and the blood clot can not be squeezed out when cut down.
After changing the knife, the dishes in the kitchen are almost fried, and the sauerkraut in the cauldron is also cooked, at this time it is necessary to carry out the last step - pour all the remaining pig blood into the cauldron, and then boil it, this is the authentic Northeast rural pig killing dish.
Zhao Zhiyuan didn't like the taste of sauerkraut mixed with pig's blood, so he asked him to serve a pot in advance.
Here, the second brother also asked Zhao Zhiyuan to enter the house and hold a banquet in the countryside, and the table on the kang is basically the main table. According to Zhao Zhiyuan's age and seniority, he is not qualified to sit at the main table, but today he is not only treating the main family, but also the main knife of killing pigs, both of which are qualified to sit at the main table, it can be said that there is no Zhao Zhiyuan today, and he can't eat this pork.
Zhao Zhiyuan took off his shoes and went to the kang, and a few people who didn't slip away had to push him to the main seat next to the window, Zhao Zhiyuan didn't take the stubble, let an old man with the highest rank sit on the main seat, and found a place to sit on the kang tip. This matter has passed, and the shelf can no longer be held, including the money given to the second brother just now, all the villagers in the township, and they will have to deal with it in the future.
There are a lot of people here today, several rooms are full, these people are not here to eat the wrongs, the more people who come, the more people who come, the more people who are here, the popularity of the main family, and the other is that the pig that wishes to be repaid is not the same as the pig that kills the year, and the wish shows that the wish of the owner's family has been achieved, and everyone has to come and eat a piece of pork, and be happy. When the pig is killed, the main family also beckons some relatives and friends and people with a face in the village to come and eat, the pork is left to eat at home, and the rest is to be sold out, and the pig that is willing is not allowed to be sold, who comes to eat, who wants to give to whom, so these people who come will eat it for a while, and one person has to carry a piece of meat back, which is not a bargain for eating and taking.
