Butcher smoked his cigarette. After the water in the big iron pot was boiling hot, he used a ladle to pour hot water on the pig.
After the fur on his body was soaked, he used both hands to scrape the pig's hair while it was hot.
Some people collect the pig's hair that has been shaved off.
If this thing was handed over to the Commune, it would be counted as a centimeter.
This was because pig hair could be used to make soy sauce and shoe brushes.
Zhang Ping 'an's lips moved when he saw Butcher shaving the pig's hair, but he still did not say anything.
In fact, wild boar skin was very hard, and in the future, when dealing with it, it was usually skinned.
However, in this era, resources were scarce, and people could only eat meat a few times a year.
He probably wouldn't use such a luxurious method.
The butcher was very good at cooking.
Very soon,
The wild boar's black mane was removed.
The young men worked together to turn it over.
Butcher wiped the sweat off his forehead with a rag and continued to scrape.
Seeing that the pig's fur was almost shaved, the men began to lift the table.
The women, on the other hand, took out the blood on the ground and the water mixed with pig hair from the pot and cleaned it up.
The snow water, which was mixed with pig hair and dust, took five or six buckets before it was slightly cleaned.
As for the remaining water stains on the ground, they needed to be wiped clean with straw.
...
The shaved wild boar was carried to a new table.
Butcher was like a surgical dissection expert. He first removed the pig's head.
He also used a sharp knife to make a hole in the ear or the bloody neck for the rope to hang.
After that, he opened his stomach, spread his legs, and took out his five internal organs. He waved his axe and cut the big bone in half.
He cut off four pork trotters, removed the ribs, removed the pork knuckles, and removed the suet into the basin.
In this era, many people in the countryside ate meat and oil.
It was the oil made from pig oil. It was stored in a yellow porcelain bowl and could be eaten for a year.
The oil residue after boiling the meat oil was sprinkled with a layer of white sugar or salt. It tasted crispy!
The butcher packed up the pig's head and tail and handed them to a woman.
The woman took it out and placed it on the cart that the Butcher had pushed over, ready to take it away.
This was the rule.
In this era, one did not pay money to kill a pig, but one had to give the pig's head and tail to the butcher.
Next, the butcher had less work to do. He only needed to cut the meat into small pieces.
The people who had been watching the show earlier began to get busy.
The women began to peel garlic and onions, boil water, and cut pickled vegetables.
The men began to wash the intestines, pig lungs, and so on.
Pig intestines were very difficult to clean. They had to be washed with soda and thick salt.
Pig intestines were difficult to wash, but when they were cooked and eaten, they were fragrant.
After the butcher cut the pork, the first piece of meat was already cut by the women and placed in the pot.
He was welcomed by Old Di into the house to rest on the brick bed. He smoked a pipe and waited to eat the butcher's vegetables.
Very soon,
The noodles and steamed buns, as well as the steaming pig-slaughtering vegetables, were served on the Kang table.
The Kang table is not big,
Around the table sat Old Di, the village chief, the butcher, the elders of the village, Zhang Ping 'an, and Reba.
On the tables in the other two rooms, there were some people with more seniority sitting.
As for the other villagers and children who came to help,
Each of them would directly get a bowl of pig-slaughtered vegetables and find a place to squat and eat with the cornbread.
In an era where supplies were scarce, pig-slaughtered vegetables could only be eaten during the New Year.
Thanks to Zhang Ping 'an, the villagers celebrated the new year early.
Everyone held their bowls and lined up to get the meat. The air was filled with laughter.
When everyone had finished eating, Old Deeny walked out and said in a clear voice,
"Everyone quiet down, quiet down. This old man has something to say.”
The bustling crowd calmed down.
"Ping An, Reba, come here.”Old Di called out.
Zhang Pingan and Reba walked over and stood beside Old Di.
"Well, let me introduce this young man, Zhang Ping 'an, to everyone. He will be my grandson-in-law in the future.”
Hiss!
Reba actually has a partner?
Everyone who was holding the bowl looked at Zhang Ping 'an in unison.
A few young men even heard the sound of their hearts breaking.
Although Reba had lived in the city with her parents since she was young,
However, he would return to Zhangjiazi Valley every year during the holidays.
After her parents passed away, she often stayed here with her grandfather.
So the young man in the ditch,
Many of them admired her and adored him.
Everyone often discussed who would fall for such a beautiful girl.
However…
However, he did not expect...
An outsider actually benefited from it.
"You guys, look at Zhang Ping 'an. He can kill a wild boar alone. Can you? If you ask me, Reba is just right for him." A middle-aged man saw the unhappiness in the hearts of these young people and said.
"Isn't that so? Look at how tall and mighty he is, and he's even a driver. Who can compare to him in terms of conditions?”An auntie who knew about Zhang Ping 'an's situation also said.
The other women nodded in agreement.
In fact, based on this young man's appearance,
Not to mention a driver, it was not difficult to find a wife even if he was unemployed.
Old Deeny waved his hand, signaling for everyone to quiet down. Then, he said again,
"Today, I'm treating everyone to some pig-slaughtered vegetables. It's my grandson-in-law's treat.
He also said that after dinner, he would give each family half a catty of pork as a gift for everyone attending the wedding banquet..."
Half a catty of pork per family?
Everyone's eyes widened.
One had to know that there were more than 200 people and 40 to 50 families here today.
Half a catty of pork for each family was more than twenty catties!
In addition, everyone had eaten this meal.
A hundred pounds of meat was gone just like that.
"The people from 49 City are really generous!”
"Otherwise, he's the pilot. He's rich and imposing!”
"The young man is handsome and kind-hearted. Reba is suitable to marry him!”
"I heard that he's a war hero and fought against the Elephant Country!”
“....”
Old Deeny announced loudly,
"There must be wine at the wedding banquet. Little Fang, Li Yang, go and take out the old dragon's mouth from my cellar.”
Good!
Everyone clapped their hands and shouted loudly, their voices resounding through the clouds.
The wedding banquet officially began.
Inside the house.
The village chief waved his hand at Zhang Ping 'an.
"Son-in-law of the Di family, I wish you and Reba a hundred years of happiness. You eat first."
According to the old rules of the northeast, when guests came to the house, the guests had to eat first and drink first.
Everyone present was from the village. Only Zhang Ping 'an was a foreigner.
Therefore, the village chief naturally let him go first.
It was more in line with…
This time, the wild boar was killed by Zhang Ping 'an.
Moreover, today was their wedding banquet.
