Chapter 34: Killing the Pigs

The next morning, Chen Fan got up early, got dressed and went out, just when he saw Jiang Lili drying clothes, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Are your clothes all washed?" ”

Jiang Lili pursed her lips and smiled, "Today, Captain Yang's family wants to kill pigs, so I got up early." ”

Chen Fan went to fetch water with a basin, and said as he walked, "I'm a little curious, how do you control time?" ”

People say that you can divide the time to see the sun, but what about cloudy days?

Jiang Lili shouted first, "There is hot water in the urn, I boiled it in the morning, and it should still be hot now." ”

Chen Fan raised his hand, "Okay, I'm welcome." ”

Jiang Lili looked at Chen Fan's back, grinned happily, and then said, "It's nothing, it's all estimated, but it's not accurate." ”

Chen Fan walked into the kitchen and said loudly while fetching water, "Then why don't you buy an alarm clock?" ”

He knows that watches in this year belong to luxury goods, and they cost more than 100 yuan a piece, but alarm clocks and wall clocks should not be so expensive, right?

Jiang Lili watched him squat under the eaves of the kitchen wall and rinse his mouth, and said softly, "The cheapest alarm clock costs 14 yuan 5, I can't afford it." ”

Chen Fan raised his head and looked at him, rinsed his mouth with saliva, spit it out, and smiled disapprerovingly, "It's okay, sooner or later there will be a day when you can afford it." ”

Jiang Lili looked at Chen Fan, who lowered her head and washed her face, and couldn't help the smile on her face.

Think about it, Chen Fan was rescued by Captain Yang and them the day before yesterday, forgetting where his home was, who his parents were, and even wearing other people's clothes. But he didn't seem to have any troubles at all, he ate when he was hungry, slept when he was sleepy, and had the heart to go to the village to wander around and catch soft-shelled turtles and come back to eat.

Look at him, think about yourself, it doesn't seem so bitter.

Chen Fan finished washing up cleanly, took the basin back to the room, and strode out, "Okay, you can go." ”

Jiang Lili followed behind him, and the two walked briskly towards Captain Yang's house.

On the way, I also met many villagers and greeted them.

"Xiao Chen went to see the pig slaughter?"

Chen Fan didn't know who was who, anyway, he was kind and right, "Ah, look at the killing pig, you go too." ”

This response didn't matter, and immediately a few aunts chatted with him.

"Yes, but not only to watch, but also to help, let me tell you, there are many things to kill pigs."

"yes, tell me about it?"

"Alas, if you want me to talk about it, I won't talk about it, anyway, when you get to the place, you will know that there is work or not, you can see it at a glance."

"Yo, then you are a master, in the eyes of working people, there is endless work."

"That's not it, the diligent person has to clean up everything when he sees it, and the lazy man thinks he doesn't have to care about anything. I think you're good, and you're definitely a good hand at work. ”

"Then you lift me too much, I can't lift my shoulders and hands, I have to take two breaths when I take two steps, and I still need to exercise more."

"That's different, you can make soft-shelled turtles, in the words of the captain, you are a technician, and I am a coolie."

"How can it, Mr. Li has said that being able to serve the crops well is an amazing technology, and I think you are also a technician."

"Hahahaha, Xiao Chen really can speak, alas, Mr. Li really said that?"

"Then can there be a fake? Who doesn't know that Mr. Li is most concerned about the working people, and he taught farmers how to grow rice in Xipo back then. ”

"Oh mom, it's really fake? Does Mr. Li also grow rice? ”

……

Chen Fan chatted wildly with seven or eight women, and arrived at Captain Yang's house after a while.

When you get to the place, you first greet the host, "Captain, we are here." ”

Captain Yang was very busy now, and shook his hand at him, "Sit by yourself, there is tea in the house." ”

Chen Fan looked at Captain Yang, who had already turned around to get busy, turned his face and whispered, "Didn't you ask us to help?" ”

Jiang Lili pursed her lips, and the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, "It's not time yet, wait for the pig to be killed later, there will be a lot of things, to clean the site, clean the pigs, and chop wood, burn the fire and cook, at that time, I had to help, and now I am mainly busy killing pigs." ”

Chen Fan nodded abruptly and understood.

Since it's okay, let's visit, he still saw the killing of pigs in the village when he was a child, but it was too long, and he didn't remember anything except the wailing of the big white pig.

At this time, the empty rice flat was full of miscellaneous things.

There are large iron pots, one-meter-wide door panels, iron chains, iron hooks, and a large bathtub that adults can lie in.

However, the most eye-catching thing is the several pig-killing knives on a board, including a pig-killing knife with a palm width of one foot, a large chopping knife half a foot square, a slender bloodletting knife, a razor like a scraper, a small horn knife, and a curved meat divider.

A young man was sitting on the ground, sharpening his knife hard, and there was a person guarding next to him, not letting the naughty child approach, "Liu Laosan, Yang Laoqi, Huang Laojiu, pull your son away, the knife can't be approached." ”

Originally, Chen Fan wanted to go over and take a closer look, but when he heard the shout, he was embarrassed.

Turning his head, he saw that at the very edge near the woods in front of him, several people were building earthen stoves.

This is always a must-visit!

Chen Fan walked over and squatted, this is not the kind of fixed earthen stove in the kitchen, or a simple stove surrounded by adobe bricks, on which can be set up with a pot.

When the people who were building the stove saw him, they all laughed.

One of them said, "Master Chen, haven't seen this?" ”

Chen Fan raised his head and smiled, "Just call me Xiao Chen, you don't need to call master." ”

The members of the production team generally call their names directly, or Lao Yang, Xiao Liu, etc., but for those who have a skill, they will be called a master.

The master is not the master, the master is a person who learns from the master, and the master is an outsider, so he has no stakes. Like Craftsman Liu, who has traveled all over the country, even in front of the captain, he will be called Master Liu, which is the respect of the people for capable people in these years.

Chen Fan felt that he was too young in the eyes of outsiders to deserve this title.

The man didn't say much, he laughed twice, and said, "Do you want to try it?" ”

Chen Fan's eyes lit up, "Is it okay?" ”

The other laughed, "It's just a stove, what's not to do." ”

He put a brick on it and said, "Look, like this, make the bricks in a circle, and leave a gap here, and leave a gap between each brick two fingers wide." ”

Chen Fan nodded, "I know, this is to facilitate ventilation, so that the fire burns more vigorously, the gap is smaller, the air enters less, the gap is large, the heat is easy to dissipate, and the gap is just two fingers wide." ”

When the two of them heard this, their faces were immediately full of surprise.

"Oops? And there is this truth? ”

"People who have read books are just different!"

Chen Fan grinned and helped them quickly build the earthen stove, and then someone immediately picked up a load of water, poured two buckets of water into the pot, and covered it. Put a lit straw into the fire, add firewood, and in a short time a fire will be blazing, and the heat around the lid of the cauldron will already be rising.

At this time, you can invite the pig to play.
