Chapter 322 Killing Pigs

Han Li didn't expect Wang Chunhua to call him, and even more so she invited him to her house to drink some water and recognize the door?

I had entered this door a long time ago, and even sat on the kang in your house for a while. Is there any need to recognize the door?

"It's really unfortunate. There is something waiting for me at the clinic. I already know the door. I will definitely go to your house to ask for a glass of water next time I have time."

"Ah, Han Zhiqing."

Han Li turned around and left after saying that. When Wang Chunhua called him from behind, he just waved his hand.

Han Li turned around and walked not far when he came across

Captain Liang's voice coming from the loud speaker of the village committee.

"Hey, hey, hey, all members, pay attention, today is the 21st day of the twelfth lunar month, and there are only two days left before the Little New Year. Therefore, our village has decided to kill the pig tomorrow morning and distribute the meat in the morning."

Captain Liang's voice caused quite a stir in the village. To be honest, everyone was waiting for the meat to be distributed on the day they handed in the task pig in the village.

Although the elders of Shanghe Village can find some meat in the mountains, there is not much fat in those things after all. Even if they get wild boars, they are not as delicious as domestic pigs.

Moreover, the pork distributed in the village is distributed according to the number of people. The more people in the family, the more pork they get.

Although everyone is living in poverty now, they will not be careless during the New Year. Not to mention Shanghe Village, which is a good village, even those villages where life is very tight, even if the family life is tight at ordinary times, they will try their best to let the family eat better during the New Year, in order to have a good omen for the coming year.

The so-called task pig is a policy. For example, if the village committee raises a total of four pigs, it must sell two pigs to the state. Only in this way can the village committee slaughter the remaining two pigs legally.

In addition, the pigs sold to the state will not be collected if they are less than 120 kilograms, but of course they can exceed this kilogram.

Village Chief Zhao and his men handed over the pigs in advance after they had grown to a sufficient weight, and used all the savings to supply the remaining pigs in the village, so that the pigs belonging to the village could be fatter, and the villagers could get more meat.

Another reason was that the price of live pigs purchased by the higher authorities was not high, and it was not cost-effective to distribute the money to the villagers after selling them to the higher authorities.

(This situation later changed to allow individuals to raise pigs, but they also needed to sell half of the task pigs, but only whole pigs were accepted, not half pigs.)

It was not just the villagers who discussed this topic, the news also caused a wave among the educated youth.

The old educated youth knew what was going on in their hearts, but the new educated youth did not understand it.

When they first heard the news of the meat distribution, they cheered for a while, so they asked people how much meat each person could get, so that they could figure out how to use the meat.

On the female educated youth side of the educated youth courtyard, there were two old educated youths, Qi Ruying and Yuan Hongying, so Meng Zaihong did not need to go out to ask, she could only lie on the kang listlessly.

Zhang Yaozu also learned this fact from Zhang Xiangjun. Hou Yuhua was the first to know about this when she was playing cards at Han Li's house.

Only Zhang Shulan, Hou Yuhua's roommate, when she heard clearly what was said in the loudspeaker, she also felt that she should go and ask about it. She rubbed her slightly hot face, then carefully hid the thin book she was reading, and finally checked it again to make sure that her roommate would not find it before patting her chest and walking out of the house.

When Han Li walked to the door of his house, he happened to meet Zhang Shulan who came to ask for news.

"Comrade Han."

"Comrade Zhang, I don't see you go out very often. Is there something wrong?"

It was originally a normal greeting, but the girl's behavior was a bit strange. Han Li just said a word and her face turned red, and it was a bit inexplicable.

"That. I want to ask about what happened in the broadcast just now."

Han Li looked at Zhang Shulan, thinking, is this person blushing because of excitement about getting a share of the meat?

But if she thought so, she would probably be disappointed. Han Li told her the news he had heard before.

The rules for distributing meat in the village are as follows: those who participated in this year's autumn harvest and have work points, such as the old educated youth Han Li, the Yun sisters, He Mi, Qi Zhaodi, Hao Hongmin, Yang Xiuying, Zhang Xiangjun, Wu Lili, Qi Ruying, Yuan Hongying, etc., can participate in the meat distribution.

However, those who came late, such as Zhang Yaozu, Yan Weimin, Xu Yongjian, Hou Yuhua, Zhang Shulan, Meng Zaihong, who did not have any work points, could not participate in this meat distribution.

After hearing this, Zhang Shulan's face was not so red. She said thank you to Han Li shyly and turned to go home.

This action confused Han Li again, thinking that this girl must have become sick from being bored in the house. I remember that she was not like this before.

Although Han Li had doubts in his heart, he was not a nosy person, so he ignored it.

However, he did not know that this doubt would be solved by someone next summer.

The next morning, a big pot had been set up in front of the village branch, and the firewood below was burning very vigorously.

All the free people in the village came over, even the newly arrived educated youth came over.

One of them wanted to ask the team leader why he didn't give up, and the other one was just watching the fun. They had never seen such a pig-killing scene before.

When Han Li and the two sisters came, Yan Weimin and Xu Yongjian were leaving Team Leader Liang with frustrated faces, and they vaguely heard Village Chief Zhao say something.

"There is no such thing as getting something for nothing in this world, so the rules are the rules."

Captain Liang arranged all the people who killed the pig, caught the pig, boiled water, removed the pig hair, and other people who helped nearby.

With the pig's "Ah Ah Ah", the slaughtering and dividing of the pig meat officially began.

The pig seemed to know that it was going to be killed, so it screamed even more miserably, but its screams attracted more people to watch.

Some children even went up to pull the ears and tails for fun, but they were all scolded back by the adults with a smile.

This time was different from the last time when the wild boar was cut up. Several people tied the pig up and pressed it on the chopping board.

The knife waited for the basin to be ready, and the knife in his hand, which was more than a foot long, accurately stabbed the aorta on the pig's neck.

The blood spurted out in an instant, and the basin was quick to catch the blood column directly, and put the basin on the ground as the blood flow weakened.

After the blood flowed out, basins of boiling water were poured on the pig.

The person who was assigned to remove the pig hair felt the temperature and the hardness of the hair with his hands, and then took the knife and the plane to start shaving.

After shaving, the pig was hung up, and the pig's belly was cut open and all the internal organs slid into the basin.

The other processes were similar to those of the wild boar, except that the pig's head was handled more roughly this time.

Others didn't know what was going on, but Han Li knew, so he whispered to the two sisters about the role of the pig's head.

There are many legends about this, and some rumors can even be traced back to the Song Dynasty.

But the real reason is that on the second day of the second month, the pig's head is roasted, and the New Year is over after eating the pig's head.

The land will gradually begin to thaw, and everyone will put away their lazy bones for the winter and start preparing for spring ploughing.

With everyone's efforts, the pig was quickly sorted, but this time was different from the last time when the wild boar meat was divided.

Last time, everyone didn't care too much about fat and thin, but this time it was not possible.

Everyone wants a piece of good meat and fat meat during the New Year, and no one wants to get those bad parts.

The village cadres did not intend to be scolded before the New Year, so the meat was divided by drawing lots.

The collected pork, offal, large bones, ribs, and pig blood were converted into a certain ratio, and the amount to be divided by each person was calculated after weighing.

The meat was divided into portions and placed in a row on the chopping board, and picked up from a designated direction.

Finally, everyone came forward to draw lots one by one. Which portion was drawn was the portion, and no one could regret it. Even if you drew the portion with more large bones, you could only blame yourself for bad luck.

In this relatively fair situation, everyone received their own portion, and only the new educated youth watched helplessly.

After the pork was divided, it was almost twelve o'clock. When everyone was carrying the meat belonging to their family and walking back, the more people in the family, the more meat they got. They walked differently from others when carrying the pile of meat.

The educated youth were all in the same direction, so everyone walked back together. At this time, Qi Zhaodi walked to Han Li and said.

"Brother Han, do you want to eat bacon? I'm very good at making bacon. It can be kept for a long time. You can cut a few slices and put them in every time you stew. Then the whole pot of food will have the taste of meat. It's a pity that I didn't get the intestines, otherwise it would be more convenient to make sausages."

Although Han Li had no shortage of meat and didn't like to eat it with sesame salt, he still had to accept Qi Zhaodi's kindness.

"Okay, then we'll leave the meat to you."

After Han Li finished speaking, he thought of Qi Zhaodi practicing sticks every day, so he whispered another sentence.

"My friend will have some meat in a few days, and I'll trouble you to help make it then."

As soon as they finished speaking, they saw He Mi pulling Hao Hongmei over and whispering to them.

"Han Li, sister Yun, how about we have dinner together tonight?"

"Of course, it just so happens that we haven't been together for a long time."

After Han Li agreed, the Yun sisters quickly talked to He Mi and the others about how to eat dinner tonight.

Han Li never participated in such topics, so he lagged behind a little and talked with Zhang Xiangjun and the others.

Not long after walking, Wang Chunhua caught up from behind.

"Han Zhiqing, the old man of Tiezhu asked me to ask if you will go to his house for acupuncture today?"

Han Li looked at Wang Chunhua holding the meat in her hand, but there was no figure of Zhang Ganying beside her.

"Go, wait for me to go back to the clinic to get the silver needle and then go over. Your husband didn't come out for such a lively scene of dividing the meat?"

"He goes up the mountain to chop firewood every day and will not be back until very late."
