Chapter 283, giving a dowry gift

The Chinese New Year is nothing more than eating, drinking, and going from east to west, and there is nothing special about surprises.

The Luo family was at home from the first to the third day of junior high school, and only went to Luo Jiang's grandmother's house to visit relatives on the fourth day of junior high school, and came back in the afternoon of the fifth day of junior high school.

Early in the morning of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, many people came to the Luo family, and the Chinese people pay attention to happy events in pairs, and many things are better than even numbers, so many things at the engagement are prepared on the sixth day of the new year, such as killing pigs.

Uncle Hu came to the door with a pig killing burden after breakfast, and if he killed the pig, he would not feed the pig to the court, and only before selling it would he add a meal to the scale. The pigs that were hungry for a night ran out of the slaughter, and Luo's father knocked on the wooden basin with a spoon that stirred pig food, and the two pigs ran to the floor with a humming chirp, and they didn't have to rush.

Everyone immediately surrounded the city, while the pig was busy gnawing on the leaves, two young and strong guys went up to grab the pig's hind legs and lifted it up, and the pig hanging in the air could not land finally knew that he was afraid, and kicked and howled wildly.

How could the people who were waiting to eat pork let them go? Several people carried it and threw it on the bench, and then sat on a big fat pier and firmly pressed the fat pig, and the pig could only wail.

Uncle Hu tied his apron, scraped the sharp pig-killing knife back and forth on the apron twice, and lit three sticks of incense and rubbed it in front of the pig.

"Hold on!" Uncle Hu shouted, lifted the pig's ears and stabbed them at the position of the pig's throat, it was really a white knife in and a red knife out, and Mother Luo, who was guarding next to her, immediately connected it under the pig's head with a basin, she wanted to make pig blood poop.

Pig blood baba is a local delicacy that can only be made when a pig is killed. Luo's mother had already soaked the glutinous rice last night, and the wooden basin used to catch the pig's blood was also scrubbed clean. After adding salt to the fresh pig blood, put in the drained glutinous rice before it coagulates and mix well, wait for the pig blood to coagulate into lumps, and steam it to be a delicious pig blood poop. It can be eaten hot and cold, fried and steamed, which is very convenient.

Luo's mother only took a pot of pig blood to make pig blood poop, and the rest was still made into pig blood tofu to eat. After the two pigs were bled out, Luo's mother entered the house with the basin, and the child was also coaxed away, because then he shaved and blew his skin and disemboweled. The former is too hot for fear of hurting children, and the latter is too bloody for fear of nightmares for children, and the timid people can't see it.

Luo Jiang and Wu Fang have already boiled the water in the two big stoves, Luo Haojiang took Luo Qing and a few guys to carry several buckets of boiling water out, Uncle Hu took the scoop and poured the hot water evenly on the pigskin, back and forth three times, and a few young men with good hands grabbed the razor and worked hard to remove the pig's hair.

After that, blowing skin and disemboweling were all Uncle Hu's business, and Luo Haojiang only gave a few numbers: two front legs, eight pieces of meat from ten catties to twelve catties, and three pieces of meat from eight catties to ten catties. The front legs are for Grandma Luo and Luo Haojiang, and they belong to the first level of dowry; More than a dozen catties of meat are for Luo Jiang's aunts and uncles, which belong to the second gear; The remaining three pieces of meat belong to the third gear, which are for Luo Qing and Luo Jiang's two cousins.

After Uncle Hu cut it, he dug a hole in the tip of the meat, Luo Haojiang put on the palm leaves and hung them, and Luo Qing pasted a palm-wide piece of red paper before it was finished.

Of course, this hole is not dug casually, it must be from the part of the meat close to the back, so that after the meat is hung, the back meat is facing up, and the belly meat is facing down, so that it will not be upside down. The wedding is the most decorative, auspicious, and it is not a good sign that the situation is reversed, and the butcher will be scolded.

After dividing the meat, the most anticipated is the pig killing dish, the freshest and fattest pork are stuffed into the pot, pig heart, pig liver, pig lungs, these will be hyped on the day of the pig killing. Uncle Hu led his apprentices to rub the large intestine and small intestine with plant ash, and then went to the river to clean it. The large intestine will be eaten today, and the small intestine is hard-earned money for the butcher.

Luo Jiang hung his face and finished eating the pig-killing dishes, and when Jin Hengsheng's family arrived on the morning of the seventh day of the new year, tears came down in tears.

"What's the matter, haven't you seen it for a few days?" Luo Qing laughed and teased on the side, Jin Hengsheng jumped out of the car and hugged Luo Jiang in his arms to wipe his tears, Luo Qing could only shake his head and help drive the car into the garage.

The little couple entered the hall like a couple to worship their ancestors, and gave New Year's greetings to Grandma Luo, Luo's father and Luo's mother, and then found a bench to sit down by the fire.

"Why are you unhappy?" Jin Hengsheng didn't care about going out to carry the dowry and set off firecrackers, so he sat next to Luo Jiang and accompanied him.

The dowry in the hometown must be carried into the door by the son-in-law, Jin Da and Jin Hengchang went to the back compartment to unload the things, who knew that Jin Hengsheng was gone, Luo Haojiang returned to the house to find someone.

Who knew that as soon as Jin Hengsheng stood up, Luo Jiang cried again, touching his tears and vaguely shouting to let Jin Hengsheng go back with things, she would not marry!

Grandma Luo pushed Jin Hengsheng out, took out a small handkerchief and carefully wiped the little flower cat's face, and slowly coaxed the candy before Luo Jiang stopped her tears and stood at the door with red eyes calling people one by one.

Dunzhu understands Luo Jiang's mood best, she is also a distant married girl, she went out crying on the day of her wedding, and when she saw Luo Jiang's tearful eyes, she remembered when she got married.

Jin's mother was also deeply touched, and the three mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law hugged each other and silently watched Jin Hengsheng carry the burden.

The first load is a hundred catties of rice, and there is a circle of eggs on it, including eggs, duck eggs, quail eggs, and preserved eggs, which is thank you for the Luo family's nurturing grace.

The second load is the bride price money given by Jin Hengsheng, and the twenty-eight hairy grandfathers are neatly stacked in the basket in a fan-shaped shape, which is still very impactful, at least Luo Jiang's aunt has not been able to close her chin. On top of the banknote is the jewelry for Luo Jiang to wear, the left basket is gold, and the right basket is silver.

The third is the clothes that the man bought for Luo Jiang, a bright red dress, the Han family's cheongsam skirt on the left, and the Mongolian robe on the right.

The next few loads were all gifts for Luo Jiang's relatives,

When the six loads and twelve baskets were put down, the Luo family's hall was full.

Everyone sat down to rest, Luo Haojiang commanded his children and nephews to set up six large round tables early in the morning, who knows if it was still not enough to sit.

When the man gave the dowry, the woman's neighbors and villagers would come to watch, even if Luo Haojiang didn't plan to hold the engagement, Jin Hengsheng's motorcade had just stopped on the Luo family's territory, and the uncles and aunts who were eating melon seeds and basking in the sun at the gate consciously came to see the excitement.

As Jin Hengsheng picked up one load after another into the house, more and more people came.

Except for the one table of the Jin family and the two tables of the Luo family, the rest of the seats were filled by the neighbors, and the neighbors who did not find a place were not embarrassed, and they consciously went into the kitchen to help. After two rounds of eating like a flowing water feast, the uncles then went home to play cards, and the aunts helped wash the dishes, sweep the floor, and wash the vegetables.
