Rebirth and Raising a Baby

The fact that Chu Yi and Lin Ling ordered a whole pig privately offended the old lady. She felt that the young couple would not be able to live a good life and that they were extravagant. Although Lin Ling added a few words, she was still very angry.

So on the day of the pig slaughter, she came back with the young couple.

The eldest brother Chu Li also came with him.

The old lady confessed in private that she asked him to kill the pig, just to save the meat for the pig butcher, and also allow the boss to practice kung fu.

Chu Li could only smile wryly at this
Qingshan Village is very lively, a dozen women are all wearing thick clothes, chatting under the big tree at the entrance of the village.

This has become a scene in the village.

Those old aunts and daughters-in-law all like to talk here, knocking melon seeds in their hands, or putting on shoe soles, or knitting sweaters, their hands are busy with work, and they don't delay their words at all.

Not far away, you can still see a few old men, sitting by the pond behind and fishing.

There are a few baskets on the side, and I don't know if I have caught any fish.

"Hey, when was that pond created?"

Lin Chunhua was surprised.

There are ponds in the village, several of which are large and small.

The question is, where did the pond behind the village entrance come from?

"Yo, Aunt Chunhua is back!"

"Lin Ling, Chu Yi is here too!"

"You returned to the village so early for the New Year?"

"Boss of the Chu family, where are your daughter-in-law and children?"

"Yeah, why didn't I see your child?"

It can be said that a single word shocked a thousand layers of waves.

The old aunt and the young daughter-in-law all sent out concerned greetings.

Lin Chunhua touched the sweat on her forehead, "You ask so many questions, what can I say!"

"Lin Ling, what are you doing here?"

Li Cuifeng was not shy at all, even if the relationship with Lin Ling had become tense, she would ask questions diligently at this moment.

"I know!"

The little daughter-in-law next to her raised her hand and shouted loudly: "The Lin Ling family ordered a whole pig with my father-in-law two days ago, and today they are going to slaughter the pig!"

"Yo, a whole pig!"

The big guy heard these words clearly, and immediately exploded.

"What a fortune!"

"This was in the past, except for the landlord, who would dare to be so extravagant!"

"It's also the first time I've heard of it."

"It's amazing!"

"I don't know if we can share a little bit."

I don't know who accidentally said what was in his heart, and the group of aunts became quiet all of a sudden. You looked at me and I looked at you, wondering who was so thick-skinned.

"Ahem!" Lin Ling straightened his expression and said, "Aunts, long time no see."

"Today is indeed for the slaughter of pigs."

"I won't talk to you guys any more, I'll talk to you when I have time!"

Without any hesitation after speaking, he took a big step forward.

Walk and run.

Chu Yi hurriedly followed.

While running, I didn't forget to carry my old lady on my back.

Poor Chu Li, just didn't realize it for a while, and was almost surrounded by the old aunt.

Fortunately, he was strong and managed to break through the encirclement.

"Second brother, second younger brother and sister, you are so unkind!"

"Ho ho ho"

Panting to catch up, Chu Li complained.

Lin Chunhua laughed: "Who told you not to be smart!"

He reacted immediately without looking at the second child, and ran with his wife!

The key is not to forget to bring my old lady, which is really commendable for filial piety.

Chu Li had an aggrieved face.

He was just watching the excitement of the second younger brother and his wife, but he didn't know that the excitement would attract him!

There were a few old aunts and uncles who greeted them on the road, but the people sitting in the doorway and yard of their own house were not so gossiping, so they just greeted them with a smile and didn't ask any more questions.

The four came to Grandpa Six's house.

"Uncle Tietou! Here we come!"

Chu Li was the first to shout.

The tone is very close.

Many people in the village live together as a family. Unless the old man has passed away, or some brother has developed and built his own house, they all live together.

In the village, having four or five brothers is common, and having only one or two brothers is rare.

Their pigs are ordered with the boss of the sixth grandpa's family.

The sixth grandfather is very old, in his 70s, and has experienced many things, and it is very vicissitudes.

The family doesn't let him go out very much now, because they are afraid that something will happen.

He has two sons who survived.

The second child works in the meat joint factory in the county, and is a cadre. He only comes back during the Chinese New Year. Every time, he brings big and small bags, which is very beautiful.

Chu Li was able to work in the slaughterhouse in the county at the beginning because of the relationship of the second child, so he was relatively close.

The eldest is in the village, the family they ordered the pigs from.

Uncle Tietou is over 50 years old, and his body is still strong, so he doesn't kill pigs much anymore.

Most of the time it is given to his sons for them to practice.

The "father" mentioned by the little daughter-in-law in front is the boss of this family.

After the news of the household contract was released, they knew that there was no longer a limit on the number of pigs, so they raised a lot of pigs.

A family of six sons, plus wives and children, nearly 30 people, all serving the family pigs, the scale is really not small.

The yard door was left open.

After hearing the voice, people came inside soon.

"It's Chu Li, are your siblings here too?"

Uncle Tietou greeted with a smile.

"Come on, it's outside!"

Chu Li laughed, he had been here many times, so he was not polite, and went directly into the yard to shout.

Both Lin Ling and Chu Yi turned heads and were more reserved, so naturally they were not like him.

"Come in!"

Hearing this, Lin Chunhua went in with Chu Yi and his wife.

"Brother Tietou, long time no see! How is the old man?"

Lin Chunhua greeted with a smile.

"Alright!"

"I didn't expect you to come too, let's go in and drink tea!"

Lin Chunhua shook her head and refused, "No, after slaughtering pigs today, I'm still busy making bacon!"

"What's the matter, you go in and drink tea, and let Chu Li and the others kill pigs, it doesn't hinder anything." Uncle Tietou looked confident.

Lin Chunhua thought so too.

"That's fine, I know it's you, so I don't have to worry about it." Lin Chunhua responded, and complained to him again: "You don't know, these two guys have big ideas, and they didn't go home until they finished their work that day. , startled me."

"Hahaha, the children are all grown up, don't worry, let Chu Li pick the fattest one!" Uncle Tietou laughed boldly, and his voice was so loud that the whole room could hear it.

Several sons and daughters-in-law came after hearing the sound.

Even Grandpa Six was helped out of the room by his grandson.

"It's spring flowers!"

"Hello Uncle Six!"

"Hello, Grandpa Six!"

"Hey, they're all good kids!"

With Lin Chunhua here, the elders are left to drink tea and talk.

Uncle Tietou didn't come out either, and directly handed over the matter to Chu Li, and only called his eldest son Zhengming to lead the way to see the pig.

For the first time, Lin Ling looked at the boss with admiration.

I didn't expect Chu Li to be so comfortable at Grandpa Six's house, no different from a nephew.

"Zhengming, how many pigs does your family raise now?"

Chu Li walked all the way, chatting casually.

Chu Zhengming thought for a while, "It's really hard to say, some people have come to order pigs these days, and I haven't had time to settle the score."

"There are [-] pigs raised this year, divided into two."

"There was a column before, and a few more heads were sold recently, and now there are only more than 20 heads left, and a few more heads have been ordered."

"That's not bad!"

Chu Li works in a slaughterhouse and is very familiar with the price of receiving pigs, so he calculated the price.

When this batch of pigs is sold out, Grandpa Six's family will be a million-dollar household.

Especially at the end of the year, the price of pork rose, which really made a profit.

If it wasn't for him being too busy alone, Chu Yi himself would also like to raise pigs.

"It's enough!"

Chu Zhengming grinned and didn't elaborate.

Lin Ling is also calculating, but she calculates according to the price of the pigs she buys. A pig can raise more than 200 catties, so if it is calculated at two hundred, a whole pig costs 300 yuan.

The price increase of pork is not only due to the end of the year, but also due to rising prices.

People's income has increased, their lives are better, and their requirements for quality of life have also increased.

Now there are more people who can afford pork, and they no longer rely on the market for unified deployment.

The fact is that the market is in short supply.

That's why the slaughterhouse said that the supply was not enough, and Lin Ling suggested that they go to the countryside to collect pigs
The source of pork has changed from public to private, large-scale farming, and the cost has risen, and the price has changed.

In particular, there are three lo-mei shops in Lin Ling in the county, which have a great demand for pork, which has also brought some impact.

Lin Ling still remembered.

In the middle of the year, it was the first time I went to Lao Liu's to buy pork. At that time, fatty pork cost [-] yuan a catty, pork belly [-] cents a catty, lean pork [-] cents a catty, and pork ribs [-] cents a catty.

But now?

Now the price of fat pork has reached [-] yuan, pork belly is [-] yuan, lean meat is [-] yuan, and ribs are cheaper at [-] cents.

The price has gone up by half.

This is also the reason why Lin Ling plans to increase the price of lo mei restaurants in the next year.

Chu Zhengming brought the three of them to the place where the pigs were raised.

In the middle of the village, a big shed was built, some distance away from Grandpa Liu's house.

There is also a small house built on the side.

Seeing Lin Ling's gaze was there, Chu Zhengming explained: "This is for night watch, in case someone makes trouble."

After all, they raised dozens of pigs, and their family went bankrupt, so they couldn't tolerate losses.

Fearing that someone would smear and steal pigs, etc., several brothers took turns to watch the night.

Just as he was talking, the door of the little house opened.

A man stepped out of it.

His appearance was somewhat similar to that of Chu Zhengming.

"Brother, you are here!"

"My brother, Zhengye."

Chu Zhengye had known for a long time that someone ordered a pig today, so he was not surprised.

It's just that after finding out that the person who bought the pig was Lin Ling, he looked at it curiously for a while.

It didn't take long for Chu Li to choose the pig.

Chu Zhengming went into the pigsty, dragged the selected pig out, and dragged it to the open space on the side.

The two brothers, working together, tied the hands and feet of the pork and tied them to the wooden stick.

A wooden stick was also stuffed in the pig's mouth.

This way the pig can't run away.

"Kill now?"

Chu Zhengye turned his head and asked.

Chu Yi and Lin Ling looked at each other, and then at Chu Li together.

"Look at me for what?"

Chu Li was a little amused, he didn't buy the pig.

"Kill it"

It was the first time for Lin Ling to do such a cruel thing, and he hesitated when he said it, not as decisive as usual.

The daughter-in-law made the decision, and Chu Yi had no opinion.

"Brother Chu Li, are you here to kill?"

Chu Zhengye asked cheerfully.

"Correct!"

Chu Li didn't feel embarrassed, it was the luck of his younger siblings to kill pigs for free.

It's not free though.

The second brother and sister are generous, and will definitely share some with his family later.

As for a whole pig, the fat one he picked weighed about 220 catties.

There should be at least ten catties for so much pork, right?

"That!"

Chu Zhengming took out the butchered pork and the big washbasin from the house.

"Do you want pig blood too?"

Facing such a painful choice, Lin Ling gritted his teeth and nodded.

The pig was helped onto the bench.

Probably because he had seen too many ways of dying of his friends, Zhu also realized his fate and began to struggle desperately.

It's a pity that all four hooves are tied.

The pig let out a panicked cry, kicking its hooves hard.

Chu Li struck swiftly, and after the whining sound, the pig became silent.

The pig's blood flowed into the basin.

The scene was very bloody.
Lin Ling didn't take a closer look.

Think about the life of a pig that was still alive just now, just like that.

It's kind of cruel.

The next step is to divide the pork.

The trotters and trotters are cut off, the pig's head is also separated, and then there are pork suet, pork ribs, pork belly, etc. Each part is divided one by one.

Seeing the pink and tender pork, Lin Ling stopped feeling cruel for a while, and began to plan how to prepare for a whole pig feast at night.

Finally, the pork is served in rice bags.

Divided into four bags.

The two brothers Chu Yi and Chu Zhengming both carried a bag weighing fifty to sixty catties.

They were obviously very tired, but there were excited smiles on their faces.

Chu Li hadn't butchered a pig for a while, so he was really tired when he was suddenly asked to work, but the process of dividing the pork was somewhat healing.

In addition, this pig was ordered by his second younger sibling, and he would be able to get a piece of the pie later, so he was still in a good mood.

Go back to Grandpa Six's house.

After Chu Yi put it down, he went back to his home and moved the cart.

Chu Li entered the room and chatted with the sixth grandfather and his son.

Lin Ling sat down beside Lin Chunhua.

"Lin Ling, I heard you also opened a factory?" Uncle Tietou seemed quite interested.

Lin Ling was a little surprised that he would ask this question, but he didn't seem surprised, and answered straightforwardly. "Yeah, make some snack products, and I will bring you some next time."

"You have opened three lo-mei restaurants?" Tietou's daughter-in-law was more interested in this.

"Yes, the county is big, and I couldn't get enough of just one shop, so I opened two more." Lin Ling said, feeling a little embarrassed.

It was as if she came to drink tea just to show off.

Weird.

"Then is there still a shortage of people in your shop?" The iron-headed daughter-in-law blurted out.

Lin Ling was stunned.

what does this mean?
Uncle Tietou gave her a hand, and rushed to talk: "If your factory is short of pork, you can ask Uncle to order pigs. Why bother to go to the slaughterhouse, what a waste of money!"

"But," Lin Ling frowned slightly. "My products are going to be sold everywhere, and I'm afraid that the quality of pork will not be well controlled."

Although the slaughterhouse has passed through one, it is an established enterprise over there, and they have to ensure quality and safety for a long time.

If the pig is ordered from a private person, she cannot be sure of the safety of the pork.

"We are not bad at this. Your grandpa Liu has been a butcher of pigs since his last generation. He is very familiar with pigs. He will never cheat you!"
