241 Prepare to kill the pig
It was an uneventful night, and the idea of being embarrassed in the morning did not affect the good sleep at night.
Especially when I thought that I was going to kill the pig the next day, I got up at dawn.
But they were early, and some were even earlier, and as soon as breakfast was cooked, there was a knock on the door.
"Changhui Xiaohe, have you gotten up, we're here."
"It's the eldest aunt, they're here, Brother Hui open the door quickly."
Lin He was cooking breakfast, the remaining four fathers and sons were in the yard, and the two eldest ones were boxing with their father, and they already looked good, not to mention the attack power, at least they looked quite powerful.
As for the youngest one, of course, he was joining in the fun, and his hands were constantly drawing, anyway, the action didn't fall at all, and it wasn't standard at all.
Li Changhui closed his momentum and signaled Li Yu and Li Hao to rest first and stop fighting today.
opened the door, and sure enough, the uncle and aunt, the lobby brother and Changqiang's daughter-in-law all came.
Brother Lobby is a pig killer, today is naturally indispensable to him as the protagonist, Changqiang's daughter-in-law Needless to say, Li Changqiang hasn't been back this month, so he can't come to see his own man.
The eldest aunt and Changqiang's daughter-in-law can help make the pig killing rice, Li Changhui and two cousins, plus the uncle, it is enough to kill the pig by the pig.
By the way, my uncle and aunt should also come over in a while, and I already invited them a few days ago.
Killing pigs is not just about killing pigs, it is generally about feasting close relatives and friends, and if it is too cold, it will also be gossiped about and unpopular.
Of course, killing pigs is a very grand thing, and not every pig farmer is willing to kill pigs by himself, but sells them directly, and then buys two catties of pork, and you can go home for the New Year.
"Uncle and aunt, have you eaten, I am also cooking, can you eat some first?"
"We've eaten, you eat first, I'll boil the water."
There is a well in the yard, and the pig killing is naturally at home, so that it is convenient to clean up.
"Okay, by the way, what about my sister-in-law and Xiuling, as well as a few nephews and nieces, why didn't they come together? Didn't you say let everyone come to dinner? ”
In the past six months, the uncle's family has helped a lot, especially after they moved to the town, almost all the crops in the village were taken care of by the uncle.
Originally, he said to give money, but the uncle didn't want it, and he was even a little angry, thinking that they were too foreign.
Simply this pig-killing rice is also a big point, please eat together.
"They feed the pigs and chickens at home, don't worry, they will definitely come, and let the second child go back to pick them up later."
Lin He nodded: "Count the days, Xiuling is about to give birth, right?" ”
I remember Xiuling said before that it was the time of the Chinese New Year.
"There is still a month or so, and I should be born in the first month."
Lin He chatted with his aunt for a few words, and the others had already gone to the pigsty first.
Li Changhui was fetching water, and several pots at home were all cleaned, and even outside, there were a few stones, and a large pot was set up to boil water.
Although it is a pig killing, it is actually not that big, just more than 100 catties of pigs, and a person with more strength can hold it.
It's not like you haven't been to the pigsty yet, and you want to see what it looks like.
Just when the rice was cooked, Lin He beckoned the father and son to have breakfast first, and then went to the front, asking Li Changsheng to buy more vegetables today and cook more spicy tang at noon, and they will serve it then.
To say that this Malatang shop has been open for several months, it is not a rare thing in Yonghe Town, it has cooled down recently, Malatang is warm, and business has improved a lot, but it has been deserted for a while.
But the people who go to the store to eat, are mostly people from the town, and occasionally there are when the market is held, and there are also villagers who come to try it, but there are relatively few, and it is not easy to make money in the village, and everyone spends more money.
Today, I specially cooked more, so that everyone can try it, especially the half-old children, who like the spicy taste of Malatang.
By the time Lin He had washed the dishes, they had already driven the wild boar over.
Wild boars are very fierce, especially when they run fast and jump high, they can easily overturn an adult man when they are ferocious, and even the pigsty is deliberately heightened and reinforced.
So at this moment, the wild boar has two ropes around its neck, and it is dragging it over.
"Xiao He, your wild boar is still a little small, raise it for another two years, how fat and strong the big wild boar is this year."
When Lin He and the others brought the wild boar to the town, everyone knew that the young man who caught a big wild boar in the first half of the year was actually Li Changhui.
"Uncle He, it's the New Year soon, this wild boar will make up for the children in the family, besides, there are so many in the pigsty, just raise it slowly in the future."
Uncle He is a neighbor who lives across the street from their house, and it happens to be the house that the trafficker pretended to be before.
In those days, Uncle He had something to do with his wife and son, and he took his grandchildren back to his hometown in the village, and his son and daughter-in-law were working outside, but they were temporarily occupied by the trafficker and coaxed Lin He, a person who had just arrived in the town.
"You are really blessed, you have the ability to run such a big shop, the business is very good, I seem to have seen him go hunting yesterday, I heard that he sold for a lot of money."
Because Li Changhui has always been cooking Malatang before, and many people think that women have no ability and rely on men to support them, they naturally think that Lin He is just taking care of children, and Malatang is supported by Li Changhui.
Lin He didn't argue, just smiled: "It's really powerful, I was busy with the business in the store before, but now I'm idle, and after the New Year, I guess I will often go hunting, Uncle He, if you want to eat wild meat at home in the future, you can buy it directly from us, the price is favorable." ”
After going around the mountain yesterday, Li Changhui was obviously in a much better mood when he came back, and he would definitely go up the mountain often in the future.
"Okay, is there any time for the New Year, when the children come back, buy some food."
The two chatted, the wild boar had been brought to the yard, Lin He said hello to Uncle He, and went back to prepare lunch.
Like moving to a new house before, it was a full three tables, last time it was a meal delivered by the restaurant, this time it was done by yourself, it was not easy.
The eldest aunt has poured the boiling water into the rhubarb bucket of the hot pig, and the hot water cannot be used directly, and when the pig is killed and the blood is released, the water has cooled down a little, and it is just right to use.
Lin He hurriedly returned to the kitchen and took out the pheasants, hares and geese that he had cleaned up last night: "Auntie, daughter-in-law, this is what Brother Hui hunted yesterday, stew the pheasants and geese first." ”
I was going to stew a pheasant, but then I remembered that they had three tables, and even with side dishes, one was not enough.
Then I took two more pheasants, and the pheasants were not very big, but three were about the same, one at one table, just right.
The rest of the ones have all been coarsely salted.
