Not only Yang Yuanzhang and Yang Yuanding fully spoke, but even Yang Yuanfeng also recalled yesterday's meat and said with certainty: "It is indeed better than the pig in the past." The meat is plump and has no fishy smell. Although it is still a little bit lower than beef and mutton, it is not bad. ”

Zhang Sijiu asked Yang Yuanding: "How did you eat yesterday?" ”

Yang Yuanding sighed: "Boiled." ”

After thinking about it, I added: "Dip it in soy sauce and minced garlic." ”

Zhang Sijiu glanced at Yang Yuanding sympathetically: This is too miserable.

"My dad insisted." Yang Yuanding's face was full of grief and indignation: "My father said that only by boiling and eating can you eat the truest taste!" ”

Yang Yuanzhang glanced at the third brother warningly: "Dad is right." You can eat the leftover meat as you want, but you always have to see the taste first. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Yuanding was even more sad and angry: "So much pork, my father actually gave away more than half of it!" That's half there! What's left! If I hadn't given it, I wouldn't have kept the lard! ”

He wiped away his non-existent tears, and his expression was exaggerated: "I worked hard to raise the pig for a year, and it's gone-"

Zhang Sijiu reminded him: "Half a year." I raised it. ”

Yang Yuanding couldn't pretend anymore, and looked at Zhang Sijiu with grievances: Brother, you are not kind, dismantle my platform.

Zhang Sijiu and the others laughed out loud. Yang Yuanzhang comforted the third brother: "Okay, my father also said that he would compensate you." Besides. There will be such pigs everywhere next year, and you are still afraid that you will not be able to eat them? It's really gluttonous, you eat more meat today. ”

Yang Yuanfeng also nodded: "It's a big deal, the second brother took out his private money and gave Jiuniang and her family a little subsidy, so that you can live here and eat meat every day." ”

Zhang Sijiu: ...... Inexplicably a little envious and jealous is what's going on.

While he was talking, almost everyone in the village came. Especially the strong men who Zhang Xiaoshan called to help kill the pigs, they came over one by one wearing dirty clothes - today they are here to work, not to eat, catching pigs is dirty work, there is no need to wear clean clothes.

Everyone looked at Zhang Xiaoshan and asked Zhang Xiaoshan's opinion: "Xiaoshan, when will you catch the pig?" ”

Zhang Xiaoshan looked at the sky and did not hesitate: "Come now!" ”

So everyone ran to the pigsty.

Compared with the fat dun, the remaining pig in the family is extraordinarily succulent. It's almost half smaller, and it's extremely aggressive.

After a few men jumped into the pigsty, the pig took an attacking stance, not to mention any cooperation, and wanted to top people.

The cry was also particularly fierce.

The three Yang brothers had never seen this battle before, so they brushed up and watched with relish.

After a few rounds of the pig's left and right flashes, Yang Yuanfeng finally couldn't hold back his blood boiling, rolled his sleeves, propped himself on the half-person-high wall of the pigsty, and entered the pigsty with a jump, and shouted in his mouth: "I'll have one too!" ”

This look makes Yang Yuanzhang, a Sven person, a little eager to try, not to mention Yang Yuanding, an older child with a childlike heart.

Zhang Sijiu hurriedly grabbed one by one: "If there are too many people, you can't use it!" ”

And Yang Yuanfeng was originally wearing a short dress, which is suitable for action, the two of them are dressed uprightly, they want to go to the pigsty to roll around, how can they be embarrassed to return to Mrs. Zhou!

Zhang Xiaoshan hung an arm, stood on the edge of the pigsty and commanded, looking at the posture, he couldn't wait to jump in and catch it.

Zhang Sijiu watched from the side, and suddenly realized why everyone had a happy smile on their faces: In fact, this is a group of men's entertainment! Otherwise, why are they all so happy! Man, he is indeed a teenager until he dies!

Finally, with a high-pitched and terrible cry of the pig, someone grabbed its hind legs and put the pig down.

The others rushed up and pinned down the pig, not giving it a chance to escape at all.

Then, a group of men, large and small, burst into victorious laughter in unison.

Yang Yuanfeng smiled very happily.

Zhang Sijiu thought to himself, probably at this moment, Second Brother Yang no longer remembered the fear of being dominated by Fat Dun in his dream, right?

After the pigs are tied, the next thing is the most important project of the day: killing the pigs.

This is Yang Yuanfeng's stage.

Most of the men who came to help today had also gone to see the scene when they killed Fat Dun before, so they were quite familiar with Yang Yuanfeng, and patted him on the shoulder one by one and said, "Young man, the pig was killed well!" Come, let's see what you're up to again today! ”

Yang Yuanfeng floated like this. He held his head high and removed the strip of cloth of his pig-killing knife, only holding the pig-killing knife, like a little general who returned triumphantly, and gave the pig a knife cleanly.

It wasn't until the pig's blood sprayed on his hand that he woke up a little, and realized that today was not as nervous and scared as last time.

The blood flowed into the wooden basin that Xu had prepared a long time ago, and when the blood no longer came out, Xu dragged the wooden basin out, and while the pig blood was still steaming, he put a little salt in it to ensure that the pig blood could coagulate better, and then began to carry out the old wooden barrel and prepare to wash the pig.

This bucket is a bath bucket that was once used, which can be used for storage, can be used to wash pigs, and is also a very durable old object.

Washing pigs, Yang Yuanfeng will not be able to.

But he didn't need it, and the men in the village who came to help did it together.

Put the pig directly into the scalding water with the water temperature adjusted, scald every part of the pig's body, and then it is almost time to start shaving.

The shaved pig hair can't be discarded casually, you can save it, and when the person who changes the chicken feathers comes, let the children at home take it to exchange it for candy and eat it. And after those people collect these pig hairs, they can sell them to the people who make brushes, and after they process the selection, they can select the suitable hairs to make into brushes and sell.

In the same way, chicken feathers, duck feathers, goose feathers, and even rabbit skins can be exchanged for money, or sugar cubes, or even oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

Pigs that have been shaved clean will look much smoother, and their skin will turn white, making it look completely reborn.

At this time, it's time to divide the meat.

Meat division also requires technical requirements - how to achieve the separation of bone and meat, and how to achieve neat and uniform size of meat, all require technology.

Moreover, when dividing the meat, the bones basically cannot be chopped, otherwise there will be broken bones.

And when opening pig brains, you should also be particular. The bones are the hardest, but for the sake of pickling, they all have to be separated in half from the middle and take out the brain flower.

If this is not chopped well, it will be disliked.

After all, on the night of the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, as long as there are conditions, it is necessary to cook the pig's head and pig tail to worship the ancestors. If the tribute is sparse and the image is not good, can the ancestors be happy?

Everyone originally thought that Yang Yuanfeng was here to divide the meat, but they didn't expect that it was Zhaoyin who came forward with his sleeves rolled up and a headscarf.
