In the square next to it, five simple earthen stoves were built with stones, on which were set up five large iron pots, and large pieces of firewood were set up in the stoves, and the fire was burning vigorously.

"Captain, the water is boiling!" The woman in charge of lighting the fire shouted.

The captain answered, and then signaled that he could start killing the pigs.

There were five pigs, but there were only three people who could kill pigs, including the branch secretary, so they had to come one by one.

Xu Shuxin stood beside Yao Jinling, watching the branch secretary stab the pig-killing knife into the pig's neck, and red blood gushed out.

Yao Jinling immediately used the enamel basin handed to her by Xu Shuyan to pick it up.

There were also members with pots and buckets standing next to them, they also wanted to receive pig blood, but they didn't dare to compete with Yao Jinling.

Soon, Xu Shuxin's enamel basin received half a basin of blood, and pig blood was still flowing.

Xu Shuxin said: "Uncle, it's okay, let's replace the next one." ”

Their family doesn't like to eat directly boiled pig blood, but they love to eat pig blood sausage.

The pig blood sausage in their place is not simply pig blood, but mixed with glutinous rice and pig blood, stirred evenly with ingredients such as green onion and ginger, and then stuffed into the small intestine, tied the small intestine after it is filled, and boiled in a pot under cold water.

Therefore, there is no need to use too much pig blood.

When Yao Jinling heard this, she moved the enamel basin away, and immediately a woman put her own basin to pick it up.

Another woman wanted to squeeze the basin that was receiving pig's blood open, but Yao Jinling immediately scolded her when she saw this, "You guys be careful, come one by one, otherwise it will be wasted if you spill it." ”

Waste is shameful, and Yao Jinling can't afford to waste it the most.

As soon as Yao Jinling spoke, the women who were about to snatch the pig's blood suddenly became honest.

Soon, a pig's blood was gone, and the pig stopped moving after letting out its last roar.

The sharpened pig-killing knife headed for the next pig, and soon the wail sounded in the square.

Soon, all five pigs were bled out, and the next step was to disembowel.

Boiling water poured over the pig, but the pig did not move.

Xu Shuxin watched it with relish: It turns out that "dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water" came from this!

After the pig is killed, the rest of the matter is fast, the piece by piece of meat is divided, and the accountant holds the notebook on the side, ready to divide the meat.

In front of him, there was a table on which lay a basket with folded balls of paper, which were used to draw lots.

Taking the family as a unit, one paper ball per family, and more than a hundred paper balls are still very spectacular.

Seeing Xu Shuxin's eyes looking at those paper balls, Xu Shuyan explained to her, "These paper balls are reused, and they have to be returned when the meat is selected. ”

Xu Shuxin nodded, "Then no one will say it's unfair, right?" ”

Xu Shuyan: "There are still some, some people think that the person in the front has a good chance of drawing the front number, but the captain and other cadres ignore it." ”

It's already because you've changed the rules once, what else do you want?

It is said that at that time, the captain's face was darkened, and he yelled directly at the opponents: "This is not fair, that is not fair, is it not the fairest to make you the first every time?" I'm the captain, and I'm the last one to draw every time! What more do you want? Why don't you be the captain of the brigade? ”

Under the black face of the captain, the last bit of protest was gone.

As soon as Xu Shuyan finished explaining, she saw the captain standing next to the table with a loudspeaker in his hand, and shouted loudly: "All lined up!" Those who don't queue up will not be drawn! ”

The members who were still in a mess suddenly turned into a lineup.

That speed, I didn't know it and thought that I had rehearsed it thousands of times, and Xu Shuxin was dumbfounded when I saw it.

Just when she was annoyed that she was slowing down, she saw the fifth sister Xu Shurou waving and laughing at her in the team.

Xu Shuyan said: "The fifth sister is the most familiar with this matter, and she often does it. ”

In the past, when there was no separation, the work in line was also theirs, and Mrs. Xu and Aunt Xu stood outside and waited, and when it was the turn of the Xu family, Mrs. Xu went to draw lots.

However, she was unlucky, although Xu Shurou could be in front every time, she could always draw the back when the lot was drawn, and when it was the turn of the Xu family, the good meat was all picked.

Later, Mrs. Xu finally believed in this evil and asked Uncle Xu and her aunts to draw it, although they couldn't draw the numbers in front, but they were still a little higher than Mrs. Xu.

When Xu Shuyan explained, the draw had already begun.

Xu Shurou was in the fifth position, and she had to wait a little longer, because the first person looked at the note in the basket and hesitated.

The accountant urged him, "Hurry up, don't delay the people behind." ”

The man quickly took a note, opened it, and then cried with a sad face, "Captain, accountant, I took the wrong one, do you want me to choose again?" ”

Xu Shuxin poked her head at the note and was happy: 100.

No wonder this man was crying.

Before the captain and the accountant could speak, the people behind him had already opened their mouths to scold him.

"Mazi, you hurry up and get out of the way, since you have chosen, you can't regret it."

Some people asked him curiously, "Mazi, how many numbers have you drawn?" Why is your face so ugly? ”

The woman in second place shouted loudly when she heard this: "100, pockmarked he is 100." ”

The Peace Corps is illiterate, but they still know Arabic numerals.

Not for anything else, just because the captain was higher than the lottery at Jiang Zhiqing's suggestion, they specially learned it in order to quickly know their order.

So women can recognize the numbers at a glance.

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

"Asako, you're too unlucky, aren't you?"

"Yes, the first one to smoke, it took so long for you to pick the meat, and when it was your turn, the good meat was all picked."

Mazi rubbed her cheeks and said dejectedly, "Who says it's not." ”

The accountant spoke, "You can't go back on the draw, get out of the way, there are a lot of people behind." ”

The woman pushed the pockmarks away, "That's it, you get out of the way, it's my turn." ”

After speaking, he quickly stretched out his hand and grabbed it in the basket, grabbed a note, opened it, and then smiled, "Hahaha, I'm the fifth!" ”

As she spoke, she made way for the people behind her.

The two people in the back also began to draw, both of them were numbers that were not up or down, and the two of them had regrets on their faces, but they did not propose to redraw the lot like Mazi.

Soon, it was Xu Shurou.

"Fifth sister, wait!"

When Xu Shurou stretched out her hand to prepare for the draw, Xu Shuyan suddenly called out to her.

Xu Shurou's hand stopped and looked at Xu Shuyan, "Yanyan, what's wrong?" ”

Xu Shuxin also looked at her sideways.

Xu Shuyan said excitedly: "Fifth sister, let Xinxin smoke, she is lucky." ”
