Jiang Xiaobai talked to Butcher Zhang, Chen Yuanchang and others for a while, and then went into the house.

In the house, Jiang Haitian, Jiang Haibo and Zhao Derong were all there, and they were not idle, "pulling the horses" around the fire table.

The so-called "kneading" is to use the leaves of the palm tree to roast on the fire to soften, twist and twist into a rope, and then knot it into a ring, gently pulled, it becomes a rope.

The function of "Maozi" is to hang meat.

When used, the pig killer pokes a hole at one end of the cut piece of pork with a sharp knife, and the "Maozi" of the rope passes through the meat hole, and then the "Maozi" passes through the middle of the other end, forming a "knot", so that the meat can be hung.

Jiang Xiaobai's family killed six New Year's pigs this year, and they needed a lot of "maozi", and Jiang Haitian and several people helped make them.

"Uncle!"

"Uncle Auntie!"

"Third uncle!"

Jiang Xiaobai said hello to the three elders, and took out Huazi and sent one to Jiang Haitian and Jiang Haibo.

Jiang Haitian said: "A few days ago, I killed New Year's pigs at home, and I was going to call you to go, but I heard Yinyin say that I knew that you went to Jiangcheng." ”

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Yes, there were two activities in Jiangcheng. ”

Jiang Haitian said: "I heard your father say that the event was very successful, which is very good." ”

Jiang Xiaobai nodded, and while also "pulling the maozi", he chatted with the uncle and the third uncle.

After a few hours, the howl of pigs was heard outside.

The last pig was also dragged out and killed.

Jiang Haitian looked at the maws and said, "It's almost enough, no need to pull it anymore!" ”

Several people stopped.

Jiang Haibo packed up the unused palm leaves, and Jiang Haibo took the pulled up seeds and gave them to Butcher Zhang.

Jiang Xiaobai got up and stretched.

"Uncle Xian, you sit for a while, I'll go out and have a look."

"You go and yours, I'll stand up and walk too!" Zhao Derong also stood up, swung her hands behind her back, pounded the position of her waist and eyes, and sighed: "When you are old, you can't sit for a long time, you have to move your muscles and bones." ”

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Uncle Xian, you have to rest more now, don't work too hard in the future." ”

Zhao Derong straightened up and waved her hand: "It's an old problem, it's okay!" ”

Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but smile bitterly, the older generation is so stubborn, you said that if you let him pay attention to his body or something, he won't pay too much attention to it.

Jiang Xiaobai didn't persuade anymore.

Thinking about this, I could only tell Jiang Xiaoji and Jiang Xiaozhou to let them pay more attention.

At this time, the smell of meat was already wafting from the direction of the stove house, which was the aroma of fried fresh meat.

People in the countryside like to eat soup, because the freshly killed pork is completely different from the meat after a few hours, and the taste of fresh meat is particularly strong.

Jiang Xiaobai went to the stove house, and the fragrance was even stronger.

"Mom, why don't I cook!"

Wang Xiuju turned the meat in the wok, and said without looking back: "No, you just go and do yours." ”

Jiang Xiaoqing lit the fire at the door of the stove, and also said: "Big brother, just have me and my mother in the stove house, you go and rest for a while!" ”

In the past two days, she has been staying at home, seeing the changes in Jiangwan with her own eyes, and also learning many things about Jiang Xiaobai from her parents and fellow villagers, only then did she know that her eldest brother had done so many things in just half a year, and she also knew that her eldest brother had paid so much for this family.

"Okay, I'm out."

Jiang Xiaobai didn't stiffen, said a word, and left the stove house.

When I went to the yard outside the gate, the last pig was shaving.

Jiang Xiaoyu was taking Jiang Shan, Jiang Ting and Wang Gang to play on the side.

Jiang Xiaobai watched for a while, and chatted casually with Butcher Zhang, Chen Yuanchang and others.

Not long after, Chen Yuanchao came in a van.

"Uncle!"

"Uncle!"

When they arrived at Changba, Chen Bing and Chen Hong greeted Jiang Xiaobai happily.

Jiang Xiaobai hadn't seen the two little guys for a long time, and he made out with the two for a while.

However, the two little guys were quickly called over by Jiang Shan.

A few little guys quickly mingled.

Jiang Xiaobai chatted with Chen Yuanchao and Jiang Xiaoyue for a few words, and then took the two into the house.

Time passes imperceptibly.

After the last pig was killed, Wang Xiuju cooked the meal.

There were a lot of people today, and there were three tables for the meal, one table was on the roasting table in the restaurant, and Jiang Haitian, Jiang Haiyang, Jiang Haibo, Jiang Xiaobai, Wang Ping, Chen Yuanchao and other drinkers sat at one table.

The other two tables, one on the fire table in the side hall, and the other on the fire table in the living room, sat Wang Xiuju, Jiang Xiaoyue, Jiang Shan and other women and children.

Each table is a hot pot that is burned, with several plates of pork liver, loin, kidney flower, pig blood, etc., and then fried big knife meat and other dishes.

Needless to say, the children's table is delicious.

"Freshly killed pigs, the meat is delicious."

"Well, the waist flower is so tender."

"Yinyin, eat more pork liver, iron supplements."

"Eat a little more pig blood to clear the lungs."

“……”

Jiang Xiaobai and the others were drinking and chatting at the table, which was also very lively.

Jiang Haiyang raised his glass to Butcher Zhang and said, "Master Zhang, it's hard work today!" Come, I'll toast you! ”

Butcher Zhang hurriedly stood up: "Brother Haiyang, don't be polite, killing pigs is my job, it should be done, it's not hard." ”

Killing six pigs in a row, saying that it is not hard is false.

Still, he was quite happy.

Now the people in the bay are all honored to be able to help Jiang Xiaobai's family.

The two drank alcohol.

Butcher Zhang said: "Brother Haiyang, I have killed Nian pigs for so many years, and it is the first time that one family has killed six. ”

Saying that, he stretched out a thumbs up and said sincerely: "In the whole Jiangwan, your family is unique!" ”

Jiang Haiyang's heart blossomed, and he said humbly: "I just didn't sell pigs this year, so I killed a few more." ”

Jiang Haitian answered: "Since I started catching crayfish, every household in the bay has made money, and the pigs raised have not been sold like in previous years, and each family has killed more pigs this year." ”

Butcher Zhang said: "This is true, in previous years, everyone only killed one, and some people have not killed the pig in the year, but this year is different, almost every family has a pig killing, like Xiaoji, Yuanchang, they have more than one head." ”

He has the most say in this matter.

After all, he killed all the New Year's pigs in every household in Jiangwan, and he couldn't be clearer about who killed a few pigs.

Chen Yuanchang said: "In previous years, there was no way, I didn't buy pigs, and I didn't have any money in my hands." ”

Hu Changbing nodded: "Yes, in previous years, in the countryside, it was time to sell pigs if it could be exchanged for whole money." ”

Chen Yuansheng said: "Originally, my family could have killed two more pigs, but I had to build vegetables in a greenhouse, so I didn't have time to feed so many pigs, so I had to sell two." ”

Jiang Xiaoji, Jiang Xiaozhou, and Hu Changjun all nodded one after another, and they were all in this situation.
