Doing a club is not an unusual large-scale event in the village, about ten times a year.
The fifth day of the Lunar New Year is the scattered year, the eighth day of the Lunar New Year is the spring society, the second dragon head society in February, the third day of March, the rice harvest in June of the lunar calendar, the eighth day of August, etc., the largest of which is the leading society on the second day of the second month of February.
The Longtou Club was held at the land uncle, and it is different from the society that is generally only participated by our own village, this time the club is the two nearby villages with the surname Guan, and the two villages surnamed Lu and Shen from our side village participate together, with a total of about 800 households, which is also the largest community activity in the entire Qingshan Town.
If you want to be a company, you must first have a company leader.
What is the head of the company? The head of the club is not a thing, it is a person, a person who is diligent and willing to work.
Originally, when everyone's life was still relatively difficult in the past, this club head was something that every family wanted to fight for. Why? Because my family is poor, the meat is hard to eat! But as the head of the club, there will always be a small part of the club meat to reward the heads of the club after the division of the club, and sometimes you can even give the head of the club a little bit to take home! Who wouldn't want to do such a good thing?
Originally, the number of heads of the community was allocated according to the number of heads of each family in the village, and usually on the first day of the new year of each year, the heads of the major families draw lots to decide whose manpower will be the head of the club in this year. But in recent years, everyone's life has been getting better and better. People are getting lazier and lazier, and fewer and fewer people are willing to accept the auspiciousness and beauty of doing the club, and gradually it is fixed by the dozen or so people who often do the club, and the lottery or something is exempted.
In the past, when we were all drawn to do the club, my father would always volunteer to be the head of our family, except for my father's honest and willing to do it. You can also take me to eat some meat and open a meat ring, what a good thing! Later, my father's blacksmith business got better and better, and the company no longer drew lots, and gradually my father stayed away from the errand of the head of the society, and if I wanted to eat community porridge and community meat, I had to eat my own share......
The head of the club is not just enjoying the blessings and not doing things, in fact, the head of the club needs to do a lot of things, and it is also very busy, and it also needs to divide labor and cooperate. in order to complete the club in an orderly manner.
First of all, a few days before the company, it is necessary to determine whose pigs to slaughter, how many pigs to be slaughtered, negotiate the price, etc., and wait until the early morning of the day of the company, the heads of the company responsible for slaughtering pigs will go to the designated place to slaughter them. Pray to the gods...... It's a big project, and it's the most manpowered. Usually if it's just our village, we do a cooperative. Then the bigger ones have one pig, and the smaller ones have two - who cares if most people nowadays just maintain respect for tradition, and get a little more pork or a little less? Is this still an era of lack of meat?
Someone has to handle the pigs, but it is also a hassle to collect the rice.
Collecting rice from house to house in the early morning with a bag is to collect rice. Half a catty per family, use half a catty of rice cylinders to measure. Even the villagers who are usually the most picky, will show a particularly amazing generosity in measuring the rice in the society - the rice tube is cone and cone to the sky, and I feel that I have measured less. This is because it is said that whoever donates more rice will receive more blessings from the gods, so who doesn't want to get this thing that can be blessed by the gods for one or two meters? Fortunately, it is stipulated that each household only needs and can only donate one tube. Otherwise, some people are eager to donate all the rice in their rice jars. There are too many households, and it is impossible for the people who collect the rice to carry the rice bag all the time to collect the rice, so it is usually necessary to store it first after receiving twenty or thirty catties, and then move on to the next one......
The above is the traditional method of receiving rice, and the lazy people nowadays naturally do not visit every house so diligently and early in the morning, and they have to be careful of the many dogs that are tied to the guard - no way, the young people are either working outside or working in Guangdong, and the family is either old or young. Not to mention raising a dog to prevent thieves, it is to occasionally listen to the dog's "Wangwang" a few times, which also adds a sense of anger, and the dog is psychic, which is almost equivalent to adding a family member, so why not! It's just a dog, no matter how psychic it is, it's still a dog, they naturally kiss me and I wagging their tails at their own people, but when a stranger comes, maybe it's just a bared tooth and angry - crazy dog needles are very expensive, please stay away from all kinds of dogs, especially dogs that are bolted.
Get! In order not to be bitten by the dog (excuse), the lazy heads finally came up with their own way - buy! Buy directly on the street! Estimate the number, directly dragged back in the car, simple and convenient and trouble-free, as for the money to buy rice, of course, it was shared with the company meat at that time.
If you have the pig and the rice, then let's get to work!
Slaughter the pig, directly drag it to the pig slaughtering table, the white knife in, the red knife out, let the pig cry shocking, dying struggle, but only by people to hold down, pig blood red like running water, desperately flow into the pig slaughtering table has long been prepared and put a large basin with raw salt, and so on to a certain amount of pig blood, the butcher who stabbed the pig knife will directly use the knife to stir the pig blood in the basin, so that the pig blood is solidified more quickly, so that when it is boiled in the pot, it will not be scattered.
Slaughtering pigs is a technical job, and although I often watched it when I was a child, I still didn't feel familiar with it. Bloodletting, dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water, shaving, disemboweling, cleaning internal organs, etc., which are easier said than done......
After completing the above few steps, the pig of the society does not need to be processed, and is directly carried to the gods, and then the casual modern people do not need to ask the master to come down and pray for blessings, and directly report to the gods by the head of the society who can speak the Tao, and then say some auspicious words, then set off firecrackers, collect the stall and go back to dismember the whole pig and cook it for seven or eight minutes.
Belch! This is not a pork chop, please remember!
Take out the pork and pig offal, etc., take it away from the head of the company, and try to divide every part of the pig evenly according to the household, even if the pig liver, pig lungs, pork belly, pig small intestine, etc., other fat, lean meat, pig scalp, bones, etc. are naturally divided equally, and this is naturally cut by those who are more skilled in knife skills.
And the soup that boiled these pork also began to show its great success at this time, wash the rice that was collected or bought, put it down to cook porridge, and when the rice boiled, throw the pork red that had been cooked before, stir it, and then add some simple seasonings, and the delicious community porridge will be freshly baked.
When the porridge comes out, of course, it must be eaten for the gods first, and then some people will set off firecrackers to inform the villagers that they can bring pots and cans to receive the porridge.
The taste of the porridge is delicious and sweet, and the saliva is ......
Usually an hour after receiving the community porridge, the cutting of the community meat is also evenly divided, and then you can receive the community meat according to the village according to the team according to everyone, and at the same time, the people who receive the community meat should not forget to hand over the community money at the same time, so as to save the community leaders from coming to ask afterwards, it will be a shame to death, after all, this money is not ordinary money.
Although the February 2nd club is quite similar to the ordinary one, it is very different...... (To be continued.) )
