Chapter 176 Kill the New Year Pig
Today is to kill the New Year pig.
Early in the morning, there was a lot of noise outside. Knowing that his family was going to kill the New Year pigs, all the adults and children nearby came to watch the fun, and they could have a delicious meal by the way.
After feeding for more than half a year, several pigs are fat and strong, weighing at least a hundred catties.The pig butcher spit out a mouthful of saliva, and stepped forward with a knife in his hand.The fat pig was tied up and his body was blown up into a balloon.
The pig butcher grabbed a pig's ear and stabbed it precisely at the pig's neck.The white knife went in, the red knife came out, and the red blood flowed out. Immediately, someone brought a wooden basin to catch the flowing blood.
Someone said with a smile: "Pig blood is a good thing. Eat it to nourish your body, especially fresh pig blood."
"I don't know whether to sell it or not, how can I sell it?"
Someone dared to ask Lin Shen.
Lin Shen said: "If you don't sell it, anyone who wants it can take it."
When he said this, everyone's minds became active, and they worked extra hard.The one pulling the pig's leg is pulling the pig's leg, and the one who is boiling water is busy boiling water.All of a sudden, the courtyard was as lively as a drop of water flowing into a boiling oil pan.
When Jiang Daizhen came out, what he saw was such a scene. The yard was full of people walking around, and everyone had their own things to do. He was at a loss for a moment, not knowing what happened at home.
Xiaotao was also among these busy people, and she saw Jiang Daizhen standing there from a distance, a bit out of place with the people around her.He quickly dropped the things in his hand, trotted over and said, "Ma'am, why didn't you call me?"
"What are you doing?" Jiang Daizhen asked suspiciously when he saw the people around him in a mess.
"It's almost Chinese New Year, this is killing pigs for the New Year." Xiaotao said with a smile.He pointed to Jiang Ya who was not far away, and little Jiang En was walking around beside him, with an innocent smile on his face, and said: "The pig was raised by Jiang Ya, and he raised it in a very special way." The ground is strong, and many people are learning from him."
Hearing what he said, Jiang Daizhen understood.Because the clean-shaven fat pig was hung up, someone was pouring warm water from it to wash away the blood and stains on it, and the blood pooled into streams on the ground, and people pointed at the pig and all I'm talking about the fat and tender pork, how much meat can come out.
A simple kitchen was built outside, with two large black pots on the outside, and cooks and handymen were busy.Pig heart, liver, and trotters were cooked in one big pot, and red peppers were boiled in another big pot, which was rolled and cut into thin slices of meat. The choking smell, accompanied by the smell of meat, was far Float far away.
Wei Shi brought a few bundles of firewood, and randomly pulled a small stool to sit beside Jiang Ya.In such a cold day, he didn't feel cold at all, he was only wearing a thin coarse cloth clothes, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead.Lifting his sleeves to wipe away the sweat, he sniffed and said, "It smells so good."
Jiang Ya glanced at him, smiled and said, "You can eat freely today, no matter how much you eat, you can eat enough."
"I..." Wei Shi opened his mouth, just about to speak.
After Wei Nian walked away from behind, he patted him lightly.Wei Shi quickly stood up and followed Wei Nian to the corner.
"What's the matter?" Wei Shi asked stupidly.
"It's almost Chinese New Year, don't you want to buy something for Jiang Ya?" Wei Nian looked at him bitterly.
Wei Shi was stunned for a moment, and then his bronze-colored face looked darker.
He scratched his ears and said helplessly, "What are you giving?"
"You can buy whatever you like, brother. I'll teach you about it." Wei Nian didn't know what to say, he stretched his hand into his sleeve, and took out a hairpin after a while.The hairpin was very beautiful, with a butterfly spreading its wings at the top and a pearl in its mouth.As soon as the hairpin was taken out, Wei Shi's eyes straightened.
Wei Nian gave him the hairpin and said with a smile, "I entrusted someone to buy this at a fair, and many people bought it for their favorite people. Since it's interesting to them, then you can serve it yourself."
Wei Shi played with the hairpin fondly, and said a little shyly: "I am interested in others, but they may not think so."
"So you have to work harder. It's time for people to buy something during the Chinese New Year to let them know your heart." Wei Nian said.
"I dare not." Wei Shi whispered.
Wei Nian was amused by him: "It's just a gift, why not dare? You just say thank you for his care, and I think he won't refuse." Wei Nian said whatever was on his mind.
"I heard people say that he was hurt by others, and he doesn't want to get married in the future." Wei Shi sighed.
"Is there such a thing? Who even abandoned such a good brother." Wei Nian defended Jiang Ya's injustice.
Wei Nian said angrily, "Yes."
Jiang Ya didn't know anything about it, he was talking to Jiang Daizhen.
Jiang Daizhen was alone, looking here, touching there, and unconsciously turned to two iron pots.The stove was filled with wood, and the fire inside was burning brightly, illuminating the faces of Jiang Ya and the handyman.While the handyman was burning the fire, his mind was not on the pot, he turned his head and looked around excitedly.Jiang Daizhen stood on tiptoe to look into the pot, only saw the bright red peppers rolling in the pot, but couldn't see what was inside.
He sniffled, smelling the smell of food, and asked curiously, "What's cooked inside?"
"My uncle asked the cook to cut some lean meat and put it in, saying that this is a hot pot." Jiang Ya said.
"It smells so good." Jiang Daizhen touched his stomach, and it was obviously not time to eat, but he felt that he was very hungry.
"Want to eat? I'll get you some." Jiang Ya said.
He ran into the house, brought a basket of washed vegetables, grabbed a handful of cabbages that were still stained with water, and threw them directly into the tumbling soup.The cabbage was floating in the soup, and he quickly turned it over with chopsticks.When it came out of the pot, the cabbage was already cooked, hanging limply on the chopsticks.
Jiang Ya picked up another spoon, scooped out some cooked meat slices, put them in a bowl with cabbage, led Jiang Daizhen to the shed, and asked him to sit and eat slowly.
Jiang Ya was busy again, leaving a little guy where he was.Jiang En looked eagerly at Jiang Daizhen and the bowl in front of him, his longing was written in his eyes.
Jiang Daizhen took a sip first, and was so hot that he stuck out his tongue.
"Spicy is a bit spicy, but still acceptable. It's just so spicy, can you eat it?"
"Yes." Jiang En was so greedy that his saliva drools, making Jiang Dai really dumbfounded.
"I'm crying, don't blame me." Jiang Daizhen said.
Jiang Daizhen asked him if he wanted to eat vegetables or meat.
Jiang En said childishly: "Fatty."
"Okay, I'll give you some meat." Jiang Daizhen took a piece of meat and rinsed it in a bowl of boiling water. Jiang En still blushed from the heat.Even so, the child didn't spit out the meat in his mouth, he insisted on finishing the piece of meat.
Jiang Daizhen also felt it was spicy, and asked him while taking a breath, "Is it spicy?"
Jiang En shook his head and said, "It's delicious."
Jiang Daizhen said in surprise: "Aren't you hot?"
One big and one small sat in the shed and ate.
When Lin Shen came to find him, Jiang Daizhen's lips were oily from eating, and his lips were red and swollen.Jiang En wasn't much better either, his face and neck were flushed red, and his forehead was sweating profusely.
"Is it delicious?" Lin Shen asked amusedly.
"It's delicious, but a bit spicy." Jiang Daizhen raised his face slightly and asked Lin Shen to wipe off the oil on his mouth with a handkerchief.
"It's cold, eat something spicy to drive away the cold," Lin Shen said.
"They are all busy, and I am the only one eating." Jiang Dai was really embarrassed and whispered.
"You are not alone, and there is Xiao Enen." Jiang Daizhen stretched out his arms and hugged him, leaned into his ear and whispered: "You are my wife, and my wife should be idle, otherwise I will struggle hard What's the matter? I marry a daughter-in-law to enjoy the blessings, not to suffer with me. "
Jiang Daizhen smiled sweetly.
"The pig's trotters are cooked, I'll get you one, you have a taste?" Lin Shen said.
"Okay." Jiang Daizhen glanced at Jiang En and said with a smile.
Hearing a pig's trotter gnawed, Jiang En's eyes lit up, and he looked at Jiang Daizhen pitifully.If there was a tail behind it, it would already be shaking wildly by now.
Lin Shen scooped up two trotters, one for Jiang Daizhen and one for Jiang En.
Don't look at Jiang Enya's teeth are not fully grown yet, he gnawed on the pig's trotters very hard.
The pig's trotters were stewed so badly that they were torn apart with a slight tug.
Jiang En held the pig's trotter with difficulty and gnawed it happily. Jiang Daizhen was still looking at the oily pig's trotter, and said with a tangled expression: "If I eat this, will I get fat? There is too much oil on it. "
"You don't want to eat pigskin?" Lin Shen understood his thoughts at a glance.
"Well, it's too fat." Jiang Daizhen said.
"Eating this can replenish collagen." Lin Shen said.
"What the hell?" Jiang Daizhen was a little confused when he heard this word for the first time.
"With collagen, people will look younger." Lin Shen said.
"Can eating pig's feet make you look younger?" Jiang Daizhen understood in a daze.
"Yes." Lin Shen said.
"Then I'll eat." Jiang Daizhen finally picked up the pig's feet.
After they finished handling the two pigs, the pig hairs that had fallen all over the floor were cleaned up, the pork was chopped into more than a dozen pieces, and the offal was cleaned up, and they were boiled in a large pot.
Lin Shen called people into the shed, arranged for them to sit around two large tables, and served a large bowl of sliced meat and a large bowl of vegetables to each table.
Lin Shen said: "Everyone is free to eat until they are full."
The people who came to help today are all happy, and they are also happy when they are so hot that their noses are soaked.Spicy soup hot pot, it tastes so spicy that you can breathe out. After eating, it is so spicy that you are sweating, and your whole body becomes hot.
The cook was baking pancakes outside, and the round pancakes were turning under his hands one by one, turning from white dough at the beginning to brown in half.
Take out the well-cooked pancakes, insert a kitchen knife through the middle, and easily split them into two halves, with sliced meat and vegetables in the middle, the taste is absolutely amazing.
Jiang Daizhen ate a pig's trotter, and ate another pancake. He couldn't walk anymore, so he lay down on the kang to rest.
Xiaotao came over and said, "Madam, drink some water."
Jiang Daizhen waved his hand and said with a painful expression: "I won't drink anymore, I can't drink anymore, and there is no space in my stomach. It's so delicious, I didn't control my mouth."
"I didn't control it either. The hot pot and pancakes were so delicious, I couldn't resist eating two pancakes. The same goes for Jiang Ya. He told me that the pigs he raised with his own hands taste very delicious." Xiaotao explain.
"By the way, where's sister-in-law?" Jiang Daizhen felt much better after lying on his back for a while.
"Sister-in-law is still busy outside, thanks to sister-in-law today, she is busy." Xiaotao said.
Zhou Zichu and Qingming also came to help.
At this time, Zhou Zichu and Qingming were sitting at the same table.
Qingming was sweating on his forehead, wiped his lips red with a handkerchief, and said silkily, "It's too hot, I can't bear it."
"In addition to being a little spicy, the taste is still very good." Zhou Zichu said.
After Lin Xing ate two pancakes, he had already gone to play with his friends.
Wei Shi and Wei Nian sat at another table, and Jiang Ya had to take care of the child.Wei Shi saw it, pulled the child to take care of him, and asked Jiang Ya to eat well.
Lin Zhou and Lin Yue came over to take a look, and then went back to their home without any help.When it was time to eat, the two of them came uninvited and ate more than anyone else.Not only did they eat, but they also took what they had, and left with two trotters and a lump of boiled pig intestines.
It was lively for most of the day, and people gradually dispersed.
"Do you want a pig's head?" Lin Shen asked Zhou Zichu.
Zhou Zichu said reservedly: "No, no, I can't take your things for nothing. Also, you gave me the pig's head, have you asked if it's true?"
"That's what it really means, just leave one for my family to eat." Lin Shen said.
After pushing and pulling for a long time, Zhou Zichu carried a pig's head and a large piece of pork, and took the child home.
"I asked you before, and you said you don't want a pig's head." It was Qingming's turn.
Qingming nodded, and said shyly: "I don't know how to cook. The pig's head is tied to me, and I can't cook it well. Even if it is done, it probably won't taste good. Just as I said before, I just need some pork. "
"This is pork for you, can you handle it?" Lin Shen asked him.
Qingming glanced at the pork, and said in surprise, "Isn't that too much?"
"Compared to sister-in-law, the pork for you is relatively small. If you can't handle it, I'll ask Wei Shi to deliver it to your home." Lin Shen said.
"Okay." Qing Ming said.
Wei Shi picked up the frozen pork and sent it to Qingming's house.The neighbors saw this scene, and cast envious eyes.
"Is this given by Lin Gong? I heard that Lin Gong's family is slaughtering pigs. The pigs are so fat that they can't walk, and those who go to help eat at his house." The neighbor asked.
"He gave it to me. Give me the pig's head. I didn't ask for it, so he gave me a big piece of meat." Qing Ming smiled from ear to ear.
Lin He was not around, Lin Shen and Jiang Daizhen took good care of him, and Qingming lived a good life.
The neighbor said in amazement: "This piece of meat can be eaten for several months, Lin Gong is really generous."
"Hey, by the way, is there no news from your husband?"
As he talked, he talked about Lin He.
Qing Ming shook his head: "There is no news at all. I don't know if it's because I'm too busy or what. Before he went out, he still sent me news from time to time, but now there is no news at all."
The neighbor was surprised and said, "Nothing will happen, right?"
"Probably not?" Qing Ming hesitated.
The neighbor advised him: "At the beginning, there were several people who followed Lin He. Recently, a person came back and said that he was not in good health and could not do the job. Everyone said that it was not good, he seemed to be driven back Yes, he and Lin He should be working in the same place, you might as well ask him and ask him for news."
Lin He accepted the kindness.
Wei Shi put down his things and left.
Lin He wasn't there, Qingming was at home alone, he couldn't stay with a foreigner.
The neighbor's gaze flickered across his face, and he began to think of other things: "Has this gentleman ever married?"
Wei Shi walked faster and faster, forgetting the voice behind him.He was most afraid of elderly people. He took his hand and asked him if he was married, how many people were in the family, and so on, which made his head dizzy.
Before going to bed, Wei Shi and Wei Nian looked at the animals behind them, and there was no loss of any finances inside.
Wei Nian asked, "Did you give away what was given to you?"
Wei Shi paused and said in a low voice, "I'm too busy today, I haven't found time yet."
"Hurry up and send it out," Wei Nian said.
Wei Shi agreed very simply, but he was secretly worried about how to give the hairpin away.Thinking of Jiang Ya's various reactions when he received something, he blushed with excitement.
Qingming thought for a while, and then went to ask.Although Lin He is a bit useless, he is Lin Shen's second brother.He may not care about Lin He's life or death, but Lin Shen must care.What's more, there are Lin Zhou and Lin Yue staring at him.Because of his background, Lin Zhou and Lin Yue were always worried about him, and secretly arranged eyeliners to stare at him.
Sure enough, this person was driven back because he was always lazy.
When asked about Lin He, the man became angry and said in a temper: "I could see him before, but I didn't see him at all after that. I don't know where he went. Before he went, he told me that the work was not tiring. , I can earn money easily, but after I went there, everything changed, and I did all the dirty work. I just slept for a while, and the steward scolded me until the top of my head smoked."
Lin He said: "So, you never saw him again."
"No, who knows if he is dead." The man said bitterly.
"He's not at Zhou Xiang's place?" Lin Shen said in surprise.
"I asked several times, and he always said so." Lin He said.
"Then where did he go?" Lin Shen thought for a while, and felt that Lin He had disappeared strangely.Qing Ming only went out once, and Lin He disappeared, leaving nothing at home.If you want to go out, you will definitely bring luggage. Lin He didn't even bring luggage, where can he go?
"Don't worry, think slowly." Seeing that the two people were anxious, Jiang Daizhen persuaded.
"According to me, Lin He is working for Zhou Xiang, and Zhou Xiang is working against us, why should we care about his life?" Xiaotao muttered.
"After all, he is my uncle's second brother. Although he looks a little annoying at ordinary times, we can't just watch him being murdered." The school representative said.
Xiaotao also panicked: "Then where can he go?"
"What I can think of, he can think of too." Jiang Daizhen said.
"My second brother was working for Zhou Xiang, and suddenly disappeared again. If there is no business with him, I will screw his head off." Lin Shen said.
"Is your second brother locked up?" Qing Ming said.
"I don't know, I'll go find Zhou Xiang's important person." Lin Shen said.
