Chapter 19: Righteous Destruction of Relatives
Killing pigs is a big thing in the countryside.
I haven't seen Shan Tao who grew up in the deep palace in my previous life, and I haven't seen Du Yingqiu, who has lived in the city since I was a child, but Shan Erlang has seen it in his rural hometown before.
Seeing that his daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law were curiously looking at the wild boar tied up by the flowers, Yamajiro cleared his throat and said with a very insightful expression: "Killing pigs is still very common in farmers, especially when the Chinese New Year is approaching, and generally home-raised pigs will be killed and will invite nearby villagers to eat meat together, called a pig killing feast." ”
Shan Dalang, who happened to be holding three pillars, also came over to join in the fun, and when he heard his younger brother's words, he was speechless for a while, "Second brother, are you deceiving Siya?" There is no pig in our village, where is it common to kill pigs? ”
Sanzhu, who was holding his father's head, covered his mouth and laughed, and scratched his cheeks at Yamajiro, "Liar, shame!" ”
Du Yingqiu thought about it from the memory of the original owner, and found that it seemed that there were very few people in the countryside who did raise pigs, and her mother's family in Dahe Village was larger than Qingshan Village, and only the Wang family, who was a butcher, had the habit of raising pigs.
Daddy's age must not be asked, Shan Tao raised an ignorant face and pulled the corner of Shan Dalang's clothes, "Uncle, why don't we raise pigs?" ”
"This pig is different from chickens and ducks, which eat miscellaneous grains, and if you raise a pig, you don't know how much food you waste, how can there be so much food for it." Shan Dalang smiled humbly and pinched the four girls' pigtails, "But the wild boar tastes good, I only taste it fresh today, and keep it for Chinese New Year's Eve for Chinese New Year's Eve." ”
Sanzhu wrinkled his nose and lowered his head and said: "Pork is not delicious, it has a taste, and it is not as delicious as rabbit meat!" ”
Yamajiro had been despised by the three nephews of different ages in the big house, and he was very simple and at ease, so he touched his chin and whispered to the two: "I remember reading an ancient dietary study. It is said that people did not know about castrations before, so the taste of boars is fishy, and the pig environment is not good, and the world thinks that pigs are dirty, so the price is cheap. ”
Although the price of pork is not expensive, it is meat after all, and how cheap it can be for ordinary people, especially for negative equity families such as second houses.
The pig died last night, but fortunately the weather was cold and did not let go of the smell, Uncle Sun acted as a butcher, and used a sharpened knife to neatly divide the wild boar piece by piece, each piece of meat weighed about the same, and the woman waiting on the side neatly pierced the pork with a sharpened wooden stick, and then used the leaves of the palm tree as a rope to skewer the pork in the dustpan.
The four large trotters and the pig's head were removed separately and set aside.
After killing the pig, Uncle Sun washed his bloodstained hands with water, and then shook the village chief, and officially began to divide the wild boar.
"Folks, this year is not good, but with the blessing of our ancestors, we can still catch a wild boar near the end of the year. I found this wild boar and I took the lead in catching it, so I took a pork leg and two catties of pork. ”
Most of the people in Qingshan Village are surnamed Shan, and their ancestors are all related to each other, and they are all related to broken bones and tendons during the weekday.
In addition to Uncle Sun, the other two hunters who participated also received a pork leg each, and Shan Tao also received a pork leg because of his special efforts.
The young and strong people who made the effort each received four catties of pork, and the pig's head was first offered to the ancestral hall, and then stewed and eaten together with some pork.
There are also some leftovers, such as pigs in the water, which are made by the village chief, and are given to the families in the village who are particularly difficult, those who have no children to live by, or widows who have died and the men drag their families with them.
Shan Chunhua, who only came back yesterday afternoon, was happy to catch up with the excitement of the village this time, heard that Shan Tao got a pig's leg, and knew that the second room was now firing alone, and said loudly, "What ability does a doll who is less than six years old have the ability to divide a pig's leg?" ”
In the past, there were only two little girls, Shan Chunhua and Shan Tao.
Although Shan Chunhua is not as good as her own brother, she was also raised by Du's petite, and she was born with beautiful eyebrows, and she also learned some words from her brother, thinking that she was different from those grizzled peasant girls.
She was ten years old, and she was sent to the county by Du Shi to help Shan Saburo take care of the trivialities, but in fact, she wanted her to show her face in the county town and find a good family after the battle.
In the past, at home, the second room family also held her because they were close to the Du family, but this time when they went home, the second brother and sister-in-law only regarded her as air, but instead circled around the ugly girl of Siya.
Erzhu, who had just squeezed in to receive his own share, heard this, stuffed the pork in his hand into Dazhu's hand, sneered and replied: "I have only heard that I am greedy for other people's bowls, but I have never heard that my own family is not good." Siya has a lot of skills, and if she can find a place for the wild boar to hide, why can't she split one leg? ”
Shan Tao took a pig's leg, Shan Chunhua didn't mention it and didn't think there was anything to others, after all, it was a wild boar found by Uncle Sun, and the distribution was very fair.
Now Shan Chunhua shouted, and those who didn't participate and didn't get the meat were also yin and yang, "Yes, what kind of power can she do as a little girl, why don't you take it out and give the big guy a taste of the wild boar's trotters!" ”
There are benefits like the inertia of people, a hundred voices responded, Shan Chunhua saw that someone echoed herself, she was even more proud, raised her chin slightly, and glanced at Erzhu, "I call it righteousness to destroy relatives, I have to be reasonable, what does it matter if I don't have my family, I think it should be shared with everyone." ”
Holding a pork leg bigger than himself, the mountain peach smelled a sour smell before he felt the precipitation of the fruits of his labor.
stuffed the pork leg to her father and mother, and told them that this was a matter between juniors, and she could only quarrel by herself, no, to be reasonable.
"Sister-in-law, you came back yesterday after dinner, right?" Shan Tao squeezed to the front, brushed his messed pigtails, and asked slowly.
Shan Chunhua looked at the thin Shan Tao, and her heart was even more uneven, obviously she was the most favored girl in the family, "Yes, what's the matter?" ”
"When you came back yesterday, you didn't know about the wild boar, nor did you go up the mountain with us, so why do you say here how the wild boar should be divided?" Shan Tao spoke slowly, not like arguing with someone, but her speech was clear, coupled with a pair of sparkling eyes, people unconsciously thought that her words were convincing.
"I didn't contribute, my eldest brother and eldest nephew contributed, I can't say anything about my own family?" Although Shan Chunhua was raised quietly on the surface, she still inherited the pungent and strong nature of the Du family, and immediately refuted it.
Shan Tao's eyebrows were crooked, and he smiled: "You have to be reasonable, what does it matter if you don't have your own family?" Big Brother and I went up the mountain, so naturally we can only say how to divide it if we go up the mountain. ”
But in just three or two sentences, Shan Tao blocked her back with Shan Chunhua's words.
Shan Chunhua's face was tender in the end, she was gagged by her own words, and she didn't reply for a long time, and finally she could only stomp her feet and sprinkle coquettish to the husband and wife in the second room, "Second brother and second sister-in-law, you just watched Siya bully me?" ”
The melon-eating crowd who originally expected Shan Chunhua and Shan Tao to quarrel and reap the benefits of the fisherman were speechless: The second room is stupid, don't you help your own daughter to help your sister speak?
