Parents are busy farming

Pour the cut blood sausage into the pot and bring it to a boil over high heat.

Ye Zifen took out two large basins and filled them with mutton soup.

Then he called Lao Li and Ye Yongwang and brought them to the living room and dining room respectively.

Ye Zifen also took out a jar of wine brewed by her aunt.

Just put the bowls, chopsticks and bread on the table, serve the soup and make the steamed buns yourself.

Ye Zifen didn't know what the situation was like in the living room.

But here in the dining hall, several people had no time to talk while eating.

Even Wang Tinghe, who had always been reserved, ate two large bowls and two pancakes.

Ye Zifen was worried after seeing it. If she hadn't stopped him, Wang Tinghe would have wanted to eat it again!

Xiaoliu and Mu Hongzhou were more direct, demanding: "You can have this for lunch tomorrow!"

‘Look! She knew this would be the result. ’

Even our Xiaoqi drank half a bowl without pepper.

After finishing the meal, Zhi Fen and Zhi Fei cleaned up the kitchen and started boiling water again.

Because depilating pig hair requires boiling water.

Isn't there a saying that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water?

But if you want to remove the pig hair, you still need boiling water.

Butcher Lu was even more aggressive in killing the pig. With one cut, the blood vessels were cut, and the pig's blood steamed and flowed into the basin below.

At first, the pig kept squawking, and then the sound became weaker and weaker, until there was no movement at all.

Butcher Lu opened a small opening on the pig's hind leg and placed a finger-thick bamboo tube under the skin.

Then start blowing hard (I’ve heard of bragging, but never seen bragging!).

The pig soon became chubby, and then a rope was found to tie its legs.

This is where boiling water comes in handy.

As soon as the hot water was poured in, the roots of the pig hair softened. Butcher Lu took out an iron scraper and began to scrape hard.

The operation was as fierce as a tiger, and pig hair was flying all over the courtyard.

I finally shaved off the pig hair while the water was hot.

Finally came an important step, cutting off the pig's head.

During the Chinese New Year in Lujiazhuang, pig heads are used as offerings, so pig heads are very important.

This time Butcher Lu took out a crescent-shaped scimitar and circled it around the pig's neck.

The cervical vertebrae were exposed, and with a machete, the pig's head was removed with two clicks.

After Ye Zifen took the heavy pig's head, she took it back to the kitchen, boiled some hot water, and cleaned the hair on it. This was a delicate job that required a lot of patience.

Some families will use fire therapy, but that won’t look good when offered as an offering.

In their family, it used to be the aunt who led Zhi Fei to do this job, but now it is Zhi Fei's turn.

Ye Zifen handed the big basin where the sheep's offal was collected in the morning to Butcher Lu.

"You can't fit this basin in, so bring another one over," Butcher Lu shouted.

Ye Zifen hurried back to the kitchen to get a big basin.

This pig is much bigger than a sheep, so its internal organs are also full of two large basins.

Looking at those internal organs, Ye Zifen cheered herself up.

‘Do it! If she doesn't do it, who will? ’

So Ye Zifen started to clean up the internal organs again.

Fortunately, she didn't forget to get the pig blood out in advance.

"Butcher Lu, I hope you can help me cut the pig body into four parts, and I will use them as gifts!" Ye Zifenzhan warned at the door of the kitchen.

They use pork as a gift in this place, which is a very high-end gift.

After Butcher Yang sorted it out, he placed the pork in the yard.

Ye Zifen had spent an hour cleaning up his internal organs.

It gets dark quickly in winter. Ye Zifen didn't dare to delay and started making pig-killing vegetables.

Fortunately, there is sauerkraut, otherwise it would be really difficult.

Put four pieces of pork belly, four pieces of backbone, green onions and ginger into the pot, let's cook!

Half an hour later, Ye Zifen threw the sauerkraut cut into thin strips, added various spices, and continued to stew.

An hour later, Ye Zifen took out the pork belly with chopsticks and started slicing it.

Take out the blood sausage, cut it and throw it into the pot.

After waiting for a while, the butchered vegetables were ready.

Everyone was full at noon, so we thought it would be fun to have a few bites of the butchered vegetables.

But the pig-killing vegetables made with sauerkraut taste really good.

So when Butcher Lu left, he looked like a pregnant woman.

"I have to go like this, otherwise I'm afraid I'll spit out the delicious food." Butcher Lu said to himself

"I forgot to give you the money." Ye Zifen caught up and gave Butcher Lu a hundred coins.

Butcher Lu had eaten a lot of delicious food today, and he would accept it even if he didn't pay him. Unexpectedly, the Ye family gave him a lot of money.

Now I can explain it to my wife when I get home.

After seeing off Butcher Lu, Ye Zifen quickly packed up things for Lao Li and Li Laosi. She planned to take them home in a donkey cart later.

Give Lao Li ten catties of pork, and Li Laosi also has ten catties of pork.

In addition, each of them was given four sauerkraut.

Finally, I gave Lao Li two bags of flour alone, as well as some home-cooked pig-killing vegetables.

Of course, I was given one tael of silver as wages.

It’s Chinese New Year, give some more for good luck.

Then he drove them back to Lijiacun in a donkey cart.

When sending Li Laosi home, his son ran out crying.

"What did you do to my pig?" the little boy cried pitifully.

For most children, it is understandable that they have feelings for their animals.

"Look, what did I get back for you?" Li Laosi quickly showed him the meat in his hand.

The little guy's face became entangled. He wanted his pig and wanted to eat meat.

But why can’t we have our cake and eat it too!

Ye Zifen didn't stay long and quickly sent Lao Li home.

Ye Zifen was shocked when she saw Lao Li's home.

This was very similar to the primitive house that my aunt told me about. She didn't expect that Lao Li's family would live in such a house.

"It made Miss Fifth laugh. We were kicked out of our house this year and can only make do here."

Lao Li explained at a loss.

"Yeah! I know! Take the things down quickly!" Ye Zifen said.

After Lao Li entered the house, a woman and a tall boy walked out.

When they saw Ye Zifen, they knelt down and kowtowed to her.

Such an action made Ye Zifen very at a loss and immediately helped him up.

After all the things in the car were taken down, Ye Zifen left.

Ye Zifen was very sad along the way. She never thought there were such parents in the world.

When the son lost his job, he and his family were kicked out of the house.

There wasn't even a decent place to stay, and I saw the thin clothes on their bodies.

Ye Zifen's eyes turned red unconsciously.

When I got home, it was completely dark.

When she first entered the village, she heard someone saying that the old house had sold the New Year pig. The corners of her mouth twitched, and then she decided not to send pork to the old house.

This time, no one was waiting for her, and there was no one to help her clear the door.

It was Mu Hongzhou who heard the news and came out to help.

"What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?" Mu Hongzhou pulled her into his room.

"The place where Lao Li's family lives is better than a cowshed, but Lao Li is so diligent. I feel very uncomfortable."

Ye Zifen didn't want to show how strong he was in front of Mu Hongzhou.

Although they had apprenticeships, Mu Hongzhou was the one who taught her things after all.

"Then what? What do you want to do?" Mu Hongzhou asked.

"I don't know, but I'll feel bad if I don't do anything."

"Then think about it carefully. Maybe you will know what to do tomorrow! The Chinese New Year is coming soon. You guys should take a rest. I will be away for a while."

Zi Zifen did not expect to face separation again today.

"When are you leaving?" Ye Zifen asked.

"Now." Mu Hongzhou answered simply, just like her character.

"When will you come back?" Ye Zifen asked again.

"It depends on my mood."

Ye Zifen nodded, and Mu Hongzhou opened the door and walked out.

I closed the door and went back to rest. I’m still busy tomorrow!
