Chapter 1096: The whole team kills the New Year pig and divides the pork
Later, I will take Director Yu to see how everyone is weaving pillows and fur nests. It should be in the afternoon. After all, there are no people there in the morning and everyone is here to watch the fun.
Not long after, another telegram came from the other side, saying that the National Publishing Administration in the region was sending someone.
There was also a telegram, saying that the Foreign Languages Publishing and Distribution Bureau sent someone to talk to Liu Chen.
Liu Chen stole the show this time, and the entire production team was excited.
The China-American Association also sent people over to talk with Liu Chen.
Liu Chen really doesn't want to go to the China-American Association. Since he went on a business trip to the Capital Hospital, he hasn't visited the health center for a long time. As the dean, he also has freedom.
Anyway, now that I want to train a vice-president, I don’t have to be there. The doctors there are very responsible.
The most important thing is that the main doctors, including Liang Xiaohong, Mu Qing, and Han Chunping, are all here. Liu Chen has trained them for a long time. Many minor illnesses can be treated, and older patients have gone to the county hospital.
"Kill the pig, kill the New Year pig." Captain Liu looked at Liu Hongwu and the others and said.
This time, the superiors rewarded their production team with two big fat pigs. The New Year is coming soon, and today’s New Year is different from the past. This year, Director Yu, his daughter, and several foreigners are celebrating the New Year at Liu Chen’s house.
Yes, but it’s lively.
They will have a very grand celebration this year, so that foreign guests can see how we celebrate the New Year.
There will be no shortage of pigs and sheep slaughterings this year.
Captain Liu thought, since no one is going to work today, nor are they sewing pillows or woolen nests, they might as well kill pigs and sheep.
There are many people in the production team, and it is also very good to have dedicated people for killing pigs.
Liu Hongwu nodded. He was given two big fat pigs, two sheep, chickens, fish, meat and eggs, and a lot more. This year he will be able to have a fat year.
With so many distinguished guests celebrating the New Year here and experiencing our New Year, who doesn’t care about it?
Liu Chen doesn't like such bloody scenes as pig killing. As long as Liu Chen likes to eat ready-made food, prepared by everyone, he still likes it.
Liu Chen caught several wild boars this year. Liu Chen also prepared to kill them during the Chinese New Year. Each production team also had 2 to 3 pigs, which he would kill and share during the Chinese New Year to give the members a good Chinese New Year.
This year the Liutang production team raised 3 big fat pigs. In addition to the 3 wild boars raised by Liu Chen and the 2 given as gifts, this year the Liutang production team ate some of their pork.
The pigs in the production team are specially fed by Liu Dabiao in the team, and he is given two working hours every day.
After Liu Dabai finishes his work every day, he then goes to feed the pigs.
Feeding pigs in this era is also very simple. They just use cooked sweet potatoes, pig feed, and additives, but there are no additives at all. They are all allowed to grow naturally.
Every year when the New Year pig is slaughtered, it is the most exciting time for everyone. Many children drool when looking at the pig, waiting for the delicious meat in these few days all year long.
Liu Hongwu is the best at killing pigs. He is known as "Killing with a Knife". He works cleanly and quickly. With a pig in his hand, he can solve the problem in about half an hour.
Yu Meiren was very excited when she came to kill a pig. She had really never seen it before, and neither did Callis or Brick. Now they were clamoring to see it.
8 pigs, a few hours' work, there are many people, and many members of the society are waiting.
It is also very convenient to kill pigs at the big pot stove.
As for the wild boar, Liu Chen just wanted two pairs of wild boar belly. As for the meat, Liu Chen was okay with it. After all, he had eaten a lot during this period.
It's still early now, and it's still early for lunch. Let's go kill the pig. The meat will be delicious later.
A few VIPs want to watch a pig being slaughtered. That's not easy, so let's watch it.
Liu Hongwu organized several people, including those who cooked pots, carried water, and removed hair. There were quite a few people.
Everyone was so excited. In previous years, only two pigs were killed to share the New Year. When the year was good, only one pig was killed. This year, the distinguished guests are here. This year, in total, 8 pigs have to be killed.
This has not happened for many years. Can everyone not be excited and happy?
"It's time to kill the pig." The children cheered, not to mention how happy they were.
Everyone first went to the team's pigsty to catch pigs, tied the pigs to their legs with hemp ropes, and several people carried them before placing the pigs on the chopping board.
The pig howled and was placed on the chopping board. Everyone gathered around the pig and watched happily.
Now it's pig, but later it will be meat, and it will be delicious meat.
At this time, Liu Hongwu took the sharp knife, pointed it at the pig's throat, and slashed it down. The white knife went in and the red knife came out. The movement was hard, accurate, and steady, killing the pig with one blow.
"Wow!" Yu Meiren jumped up, frowned and ran to the side, immediately covering her eyes.
Bloody, so bloody.
Liu Chen thought to himself, these girls are obviously very scared, but they insist on watching one by one. He really doesn't understand what's the point of killing a pig.
The blood spurted out and flowed directly into the basin on the ground, where salt had just been added.
This pig's blood is a good thing. After half an hour, it cools down, crystallizes, and is cooked with hot water, and it becomes the pig's blood we eat.
Then a few people started blowing the pig. This step is very critical, as it is related to the convenience of shaving later.
Blowing the pig means cutting a hole in the pig's hind leg. Someone blows the air into the pig's body, and then beats it with a stick to make the gas fill everywhere inside the pig. The purpose of this is to make it easier later.
of shaving.
The next step is a very crucial step, shaving.
The key to this step is the water temperature. This water should not be too hot or too cold. If the water temperature is too high, the pig skin will become red. If the water temperature is low, the pig hair cannot be scraped off. If the water temperature is neither cool nor hot, do this.
Only after the pig hair has been shaved clean is the white pig skin.
Here Liu Hongwu changed his knife, like a butcher cutting a cow, removing the pig head, removing the pig legs, disemboweling the pig liver, lungs, large intestine and other pig waste.
After completing these steps, Liu Hongwu hung the pig body with a hook and put it on the rack, rinsed it with cold water, and divided it into two parts.
In this way, all three pigs in the team were quickly killed.
These three pigs were reserved for distribution to the members, and the other pigs were reserved for entertaining distinguished guests.
Here, Huzi and Jiangang brought the big scales and began to divide the meat after a while.
When the meat is divided, everyone is most excited.
All the men, women, and children in the team came, and it was so crowded that it had three floors inside and three floors outside. Everyone surrounded the stall at the head of the stall.
At this time, the happiest people are the children. After all, in this era, we don’t eat a few pieces of meat a year, and we usually only buy meat once every few months.
The children looked at the white meat and drooled. This meat is delicious when paired with cabbage, radish, vermicelli and so on.
Liu Jiefang had already calculated the number of people, and the meat sharing officially began.
After a while of operation, each family was able to share two or three kilograms of meat. The adults of each family were holding the meat, and the children were shouting and laughing beside them. Not to mention how happy they were.
"Master Liu, can you cook the pork offal soup from last time tonight?" Brick looked at Liu Hongwu and said.
Brick spoke in lame Mandarin. Fortunately, Liu Hongwu understood it.
That's a must. We'll do it at noon today. Anyway, there are so many pigs and there's a lot of pig offal. After it's all cleaned up, treat the whole team to some pig offal soup.
When Yu Meiren heard about pig offal soup, she didn't like it very much. How could it taste good? Sure enough, the food of the people in the countryside is so bad. After killing so many pigs, there is so much meat, and they don't want to part with the meat.
Eat, each one is pickled, and eat the offal.
"Pork offal soup is good. I drank it a lot when I was young. Now I haven't had it for a long time." Director Yu looked at Liu Chen with a smile and said.
"Sister Wanjun, is that soup delicious? Look at how happy everyone is when they hear that they drink pork offal soup." Yu Meiren looked at Gu Wanjun in confusion.
"It tastes good. It tastes very good. Let me tell you, I can drink five or six bowls of it every time."
Yu Meiren stared, "Oh my god, five or six bowls, that's a lot. What's so delicious about this?"
"Uncle Ah Chen, your family's thunderbolt came and caught a very big cauliflower snake, it's so long." Liu Dameng shouted and ran over.
Liu Chen hadn't seen Pili for a long time and thought that the she-wolf had gone into the mountains with his wife. The she-wolf was pregnant, so he needed to go hunting in the mountains to get some good food to feed his wife.
It's okay, this Pili hasn't forgotten him yet, no, he has brought him something delicious.
The one running at the front was Pili, holding a very large cauliflower snake in his mouth, weighing nearly ten kilograms. Behind him was the she-wolf, holding a pheasant hen in her mouth.
"Oh my god, wolf, it's really a wolf." Yu Meiren saw it and screamed in fright.
"It's okay, don't worry, this is A Chen's wolf, it doesn't bite." Gu Wanjun quickly comforted Yu Meiren.
Not to mention that Yu Meiren was shocked, even Director Yu and Secretary Wan, who had never seen a wolf, were also shocked. After all, the foreign nobles and distinguished guests were here, and the wolves and dogs were coming.
What should I do if a guest is injured?
Fortunately, Liu Chen told everyone in time, and everyone felt relieved.
County Chief Zheng shook his head, this Ah Chen is really a strange person. He can tame such a wild wolf, which is amazing.
Liu Chen walked up to Pili and touched Pili's head. Good guy, the cauliflower snake he got is really quite big.
Then the she-wolf came with the wild hen in her mouth.
These two guys knew that Liu Chen liked to drink cauliflower, snake, and hen soup, so they brought them here. They really made themselves look dirty.
"You don't know, these two things are a lot of food for A Chen. Every once in a while, I will take food from the mountain and give A Chen a tooth as a sacrifice. It's good." Everyone looked at Pili and the she-wolf and said.
At first, they felt that Ah Chen was crazy for raising such a good eater, but now he is fine. Not only does Pili not eat much of the family's food, but he also gets delicious food from the mountains from time to time. It is really worth raising him.
"Oh my God, this is a snake. How can I eat such a big one?" Yu Meiren was frightened.
Gu Wanjun went over to comfort her again, and told Yu Meiren that this thing looked scary, but when it is made, it will taste really good, and I guarantee that you will be able to drink several bowls at a time.
Director Yu and others were very happy. This thing is so good. They haven't had snake soup for a long time. Cauliflower and snake are paired with hens. It is a "dragon and phoenix presenting auspiciousness" soup. It is delicious.
