Back to Xiaomian's house.

Xiaomian's mother made their beds.

Xiaomian's father turned on the TV in the living room and made two cups of tea: "Wang Rong's family is killing pigs tomorrow, right?" ”

"Hmm." Ye Mo nodded.

"Three pigs, have you ordered it?"

"It's booked." Ye Mo said.

"Your parents are free tomorrow, call them to come and play." Xiaomian's father smiled and said, "Didn't you order three pigs, just so that you can take one pig's water and make a pig killing feast." ”

Ye Mo nodded: "My parents should be free, I'll call and ask." ”

Ye Mo called his father, and when he heard that Xiaomian's father called them to come over and play, he happily agreed.

Lin Xiaomian and her mother are laying out the sheets.

"How much did you spend on Beihai?" Xiaomian's mother asked.

"Not much." Lin Xiaomian said.

"Not much, how much?"

"More than ten thousand." Lin Xiaomian shrank his neck and stuck out his tongue.

"Spend so much money...... Xiaomian's mother glared at her: "I want to go out to play, I don't know how to find a closer place." ”

Lin Xiaomian grinned and whispered, "Ye Mo can make money." Besides, I can make money driving an excavator......"

"You, it's better to save a little. Your father and I are now building a house for others, and two people can only earn 10,000 yuan a month. It's not easy to make money, so if you can save, save some. ”

"Got it."

Ye Mo watched TV with Xiaomian's father for a while.

Lin Xiaomian boiled hot water and came over and shouted, "Dad, don't burn your feet." ”

"Hot."

Lin Xiaomian made two basins of hot water, one for his parents and them, and the other for Ye Mo and Lin Xiaomian.

Wash your face first, then burn your feet.

This water can blanch the pigskin.

In Ye Mo's house, he basically doesn't burn his feet at night, and he sleeps after taking a bath.

On their side...... Although there is not much separation, it is a completely different climate.

Burned his feet and went back to the bedroom.

Lin Xiaomian took a set of pajamas for Ye Mo: "My mother bought them for you." ”

Ye Mo smiled and changed into pajamas and shrunk into the quilt. The quilt is cold, and it is a little refreshing...... Cold, teeth chattering.

Lin Xiaomian also shrank in and turned off the light.

After a while, the bed warmed up.

"What were you talking to my dad about in the living room?" Lin Xiaomian squeezed into Ye Mo's arms and asked.

Ye Mo held her in his arms and said, "Tomorrow will be a pig killing banquet." ”

"Where?"

"Your home." Ye Mo smiled and said, "My parents haven't been here yet, come and take a walk." ”

"Oh." Lin Xiaomian said and took out his mobile phone.

"Stop playing with your phone and go to bed early. Otherwise, I won't be able to get up tomorrow morning......"

……

The next day.

Not long after dawn, Ye Mo heard Xiaomian's mother go into the kitchen to make breakfast.

Waiting for Xiaomian's father to get up too, Ye Mo shook Lin Xiaomian: "It's dawn." ”

Lin Xiaomian slept soundly, and after two 'uh-huh' sounds, there was no movement. She played on her phone again last night until midnight......

Ye Mo ignored her, got up and changed his clothes, and went out: "Uncle, auntie." ”

The two responded.

Xiaomian's mother's breakfast is almost ready: "Lin Xiaomian didn't wake up." ”

"Woke up." Ye Mo said and went back to the room, put his hand into the quilt, pressed the two soft, and whispered, "Hurry up." If you don't get up, your mother will have to be angry again. ”

Lin Xiaomian opened his eyes at this time: "Is breakfast ready?" ”

"It's almost ready."

Lin Xiaomian reluctantly got up, put on his clothes, and went out with messy hair, looking like he hadn't woken up.

"I know how to sleep all day." Xiaomian's mother looked at her angrily.

Lin Xiaomian blinked vigorously, went over to get hot water, and washed his face: "It's winter, there's nothing to do, why do you get up so early." ”

"I ate early and went to Wang Rong's house to help press the pig." Xiaomian's mother said: "You are diligent day by day, you are all adults, and you are still like children all day long." ”

In the morning, an egg soup, a fried rape, and a fried shredded potatoes.

While they were eating, they heard the call of a pig in the distance.

"Killing pigs so early." Lin Xiaomian was eating and said.

"It's eight o'clock, and you're the only one who thinks it's early."

Eaten.

Ye Mo and the others went to Wang Rong's house......

Today is foggy again, the fog is hazy, and visibility is extremely low.

Wang Rong's house is a triple courtyard house with a bamboo forest outside the house.

Early in the morning, there were a few more people in the bamboo forest, killing pigs here.

In the bamboo forest, there are makeshift soil pigs, as well as platforms for shaving pig hair and pig blood, as well as shelves.

"Xiao Mian, Ye Mo." Wang Rong watched the pig killing from the side, and when she saw them coming, she shouted, "Third uncle, third aunt." ”

A few people nodded.

"Your son-in-law is here." A tall, thin man, shouted.

Lin Shan nodded with a smile and said to Ye Mo, "This is, Wang Rong's father...... You have to call the fourth uncle. ”

"Fourth uncle." Ye Mo shouted.

Wang Jian responded with a smile.

Xiaomian's father introduced Ye Mo to other people again......

Ye Mo took out cigarettes and handed one to each person.

A big fat pig has been slaughtered, followed by a second ...... There are people at both ends who are booked, people from the same village.

Ye Mo and they came early, and from the third end, it was Ye Mo and them.

Killing pigs, bloodletting...... Follow the blow and shave the hair...... Then hang it on a shelf and dispose of it again.

The pig killer is a person from their village, who is about fifty years old and a professional pig killer.

Professional Pig Killer...... Already unemployed.

Now there are special slaughterhouses for killing pigs. Moreover, in the countryside now, the vast majority of families do not raise pigs.

Pushing back 15 years, at least 70 or 80 percent of the households in the rural areas, not to mention every household...... Twenty years further on...... Based on Ye Mo's understanding, it seems that every household has pigs.

Anyway, Ye Mo remembered that when he was a child, every family on their side had pigs.

When Ye Mo was in elementary school and junior high school, he had to go out to hunt pigweed when he came home from school.

Up to now, there are not many pig-raising families in the countryside.

In some places, pigs are not allowed.

However, on their side, including the former Dongmen Town, there is no ban on pig raising...... But there are very few pig farmers.

In Changzhu Village, there is no ban on raising pigs, but it seems that no one has seen them raising pigs. Even if there is, most farm pigs eat feed.

These big fat pigs in Wang Rong's family are all fed with forage, sweet potatoes, and corn bran, and they have been raised since the end of the year......

Their family has a special pig shed, in the bamboo forest next to the house. The pig shed should be able to raise twenty or thirty pigs, but now there are only nine big fat pigs. Other pigs should have been sold in advance.

Now these pigs are about 300 pounds. Those who have raised pigs should know that it is most cost-effective to sell them when they are raised to more than 200 catties.

Raise it to 300 catties, and you can't draw it.

These are big fat pigs that are kept for the New Year, and they are all booked by people nearby, and they are only raised to about 300 catties. Such a big fat pig is delicious, but the price is more expensive than the meat on the market.
