Chapter 63 Dividing Pork
I was really sweating after eating this meal! The mutton was so warming and nourishing that the little ones’ faces turned red after eating it.
"Are you full?" The mother and second aunt looked at the children.
"Eat enough!" The little guys' voices were louder after they had eaten and drank.
The mutton steamed buns were really delicious this afternoon. Everyone ate their bowls, soup and pancakes, and the second aunt even gave everyone some pig meat. ωωw..net
"It looks like the weather is very bad. Mom, please take the children home. Also bring these butchered vegetables with you." The second aunt handed a small pot of butchered vegetables to the old lady.
Because we wanted to eat steamed buns made with mutton, we only shared a little of the pig-killing vegetables that the second aunt received, and left the rest for tomorrow. We wanted to eat more of the delicious ones.
"Okay, you guys are here to watch the pork. The little guys, please go back with grandma and grab the bowls and chopsticks!" The old lady got up and brought the dishes to greet the little guys home.
After the meal, the members asked the children and the elderly to go home first. The weather was very bad and the wind was strong. After collecting the pork, it was probably dark and the road would be difficult to walk.
After the members finished eating, it was time for this year's welfare section. The farmers were happier today than receiving dividends.
"Okay, let's start dividing the pork today.
"This year, the farmers in our production team are very good. They have actively completed the tasks assigned by the state, and there is still some surplus."
"In addition to the fact that there are five fat pigs left in the village breeding farm this year, in addition to the pork that the farmers deserve, we can still divide nearly seven pigs and more than 700 kilograms of pork." Li Junli said excitedly.
In fact, all the members knew that a total of eight pigs were killed today, but they did not expect that excluding the pig farmers, there would be more than 700 kilograms of meat. The scene became noisy for a while.
Everyone knows how to settle accounts, and there are only 128 households in the village! In this way, each household can get a lot.
"Pork is no longer divided according to work points. It is still the old rule. We divide the meat according to households." Captain Li Junli said standing at the door of the canteen kitchen.
"Okay, no more nonsense, the weather is a bit bad, let's finish up early and serve the pork." Li Junli shouted loudly towards the back kitchen.
After a while, the fourth uncle Li Delong and several other butchers came out carrying more than a dozen cartons of pork, while the remaining women held the pig's head and the drain basin and placed them on the side of the pork.
"Let's talk about it! The Li Deyou family in the village is willing to exchange part of the meat for the pig head and water, but it must be exchanged for more in proportion. Our village committee has agreed after consideration."
"The pigs his family raised this year are very fat, and the extra fat can be shared with everyone. Do you have any opinions?" Li Junli mentioned it to the villagers by the way.
"No problem! It's hard to make pig heads and trotters. We want fat meat." The members agreed unanimously.
"Okay, this way we can share a lot more meat. Let's all line up and I'll call you by name." Li Desheng on the side said while holding a notebook.
For more than an hour, the villagers were noisy about dividing the pork. The commune members also left with the six kilograms of pork they received. The only ones left behind were the pig farmers and village cadres.
Because pig farmers receive a lot of meat, it would easily cause displeasure among members if they were put in front to receive it, so they receive the meat last every time.
"Here, fifth brother, your family has a lot of meat this year!" Li Dequan, the security director who loves pork, said with a smile.
"Luck, luck!"
Brothers Li Deyou and Li Dezhong scratched their heads and smiled happily.
"Including the ten kilograms of pork from the mission pig, half of the fat pig left behind, and the village's welfare, your family has a total of more than eighty-nine kilograms."
"According to the agreement, forty kilograms of pork will be left, and the remaining fifty kilograms will be replaced with offal and pig head meat. Can you do the math?" Li Dequan sat on a chair and kept calculating.
While saying.
Li Wen and others would have been fine as soon as they killed the pig.
"No problem!" Li Deyou smiled and nodded.
"This pig's head weighs about fifteen kilograms. Take away the bones and calculate it as five kilograms. I'll give you five of them, which can carry ten kilograms of pork. One pair weighs more than 40 kilograms, so four pairs are just right for you." Li Dequan said.
"Okay, it's suitable." Li Deyou nodded.
"Ah Quan, hurry up and put the waste into the basket." The second uncle looked at Li Quan who was giggling beside him and scolded him softly.
Li Quan quickly picked up the waste water thrown on the ground with two baskets. Li Wen and his elder brother also picked up five pig heads and stuffed them into a sack.
The father and second uncle watched Li Delong divide the pork.
"Lao Wu, there's no need to divide your pork. This pork is just over forty pounds." Li Delong cut off the excess and said.
"Good guy, your family has become rich this year, Lao Wu! The poop you take in the manhole is full of oil." A village cadre on the side joked.
Several members of Li Wen's family also smiled happily and did not answer. Li Deyou asked Li Delong to cut the pork into small pieces and put them into sacks.
Then a dozen other pig farmers also received more than ten kilograms of pork and left one after another.
"Awen, it's up to you to help your fourth master and your uncle Junli get into the water, right?" Li Junli looked at Li Wen and said with a smile.
Production captain Li Junli and party secretary Li Juncai's family are the other two households raising two pigs. Today they also replaced part of the pork with pig offal and pig heads.
"Fourth Master, uncle, don't worry, I will come and get it for you tomorrow," Li Wen promised, patting his chest.
After receiving the pork, Li Wen's family stopped staying in the canteen. Li Deyou called Li Wen and others out of the canteen.
Li Wen just took a look and found that there were still more than ten kilograms of pork left in the canteen. These remaining pork should be the welfare of the village cadres.
On the way home, the snowflakes began to fall from the sky, and it was already completely white before we got home.
After opening the door, Li Wen dusted the snow off his body and looked back into the distance.
"Auspicious snow heralds a good harvest!" Li Wen said with a smile.
"Yes! It's a good harvest this year. The snow is so nice." His father, Li Deyou, had already turned white from the snowflakes, but his waist was straight and he looked at the little guys playing in the yard.
said.
"You are back!"
The mother and second aunt who were cleaning the yard looked at the husband and sons who opened the door and came forward with a smile.
"Back!" Several people put the pork on their backs in the front hall.
"The pigs we brought are so dirty! Also, these porks are so fat!" Mother and second aunt said happily as they looked at the pork in the bag.
"Mom, pig heads, big pig heads, five big pig heads." The little girl Li Juan was not afraid, pointing to the pig heads on the ground and smiling happily.
"These pig heads still weigh 200 kilograms of water. It's not a waste to replace them." The old lady sat on a stool and looked at the pork lying on the ground and said with a smile.
"Mom, let's dispose of these pig waste before it freezes." Li Wen looked at the pile of waste on the ground, worried that it would be difficult to dispose of it if it was frozen the next day.
"Okay, then your second aunt and I will boil the water, and you go get the basins. Let's clean this up while it's snowing and it's not too dark." Wang Chunmei turned around and walked to the kitchen.
It's past five o'clock now, the sky has darkened, and many people have already started to prepare for bed. But Li Wen's family is really busy working, adults and children are not idle, even the little guy Li Xiaojuan is cleaning pig tails with a brush
.
Dad, the pig's internal organs must be rinsed clean, there should be no blood, and brother, all these mucous membranes must be rubbed off. Li Wen would give instructions to his family members from time to time on how to clean the water.
"This large intestine is too dirty!" Li Quan, who was cleaning the large intestine, said disgustingly when he picked up some pig feces from time to time.
"Haha!" Everyone who was cleaning laughed.
"Second brother, take more water and rinse it several times. It's just because of the trouble that we can benefit from it! But this large intestine is a good thing, it's very fat." Li Wen said with a smile.
The little guys looked at the large intestine and stayed away from Li Quan. They pinched their noses from time to time and shouted, "It's stinky!" Especially Li Tao and Li Yong like to play tricks, which makes Li Quan's teeth itch.
Because the water was too cold, everyone's hands hurt from washing, so the mother and the second aunt kept boiling water and adding it to the basins they were cleaning.
At around 10 o'clock in the evening, a dozen or so people from the family worked for more than four hours to clean all the sewage, leaving the pig's head untouched. But there was no need to rush, as the refrigerator was naturally large and would not break down in winter.
After bending down continuously for more than four hours, everyone was so tired that their backs ached and they didn't want to eat. They put the pork in the tank and kept it, closed the lid, and ran back to the room to get under the warm quilt. (Don't ask why.
In the tank, there are so many mice!)
It was already past nine o'clock in the morning when Li Wen woke up from the warm bed.
When winter comes, people in rural areas don't go out or exercise.
One, it’s because it’s too cold, two, there’s not much work for you to do, what are you doing when the ground is frozen, and three, the most important thing is that if you wake up late, you’ll save on eating, and if you don’t exercise, you’ll starve slower.
After lying in bed for another hour, the three brothers reluctantly crawled out of bed.
It was almost noon, and the mother outside the door was busy in the kitchen, calling the juniors to eat from time to time.
When I went out, the snow in the yard had been cleared away by my father and my second uncle, but there were still snowflakes in the sky.
Li Wu brought a basin of hot water and put his cold hands into the basin, which immediately refreshed his mind.
"Okay, it's time to eat. You can go do whatever you want after dinner. Don't complain about being hungry after dinner time." Mother Wang Chunmei put the rice bowl in the front hall.
Today's lunch, no! It should be called the second and first meal in the morning. I ate yesterday's butchered vegetables, and my mother made corn porridge.
Everyone kept the butchered pig vegetables and had a delicious meal.
After eating, Li Wen remembered that the pigs had not been fed since yesterday and said.
"We have already fed the pigs. By the time you feed them, the pigs are starving to death," her mother, Wang Chunmei, said angrily as she looked at Li Wen and smiled.
"Mom, it's okay then. Let's go sit on the kang." Li Wen said, putting down his rice bowl.
"Go ahead, there's nothing for you to do in winter," Wang Chunmei said.
Because the cotton shoes were relatively thin, his cold feet couldn't bear it, so Li Wen hurriedly ran towards the kang.
The fire bed in winter and the air conditioner in summer are always yyds.
"Awen, are you there?" At this moment, a voice came from the yard, and Li Wen heard someone calling him.
