The Beginning of Siheyuan: The Pig Killer of Qinjia Village

Qin Huairu took Qin Jingru's hand and left the village office unhappily.

What about when Liu Cuilan hinted at her about a blind date when she was delivering wild rabbits to Qin Zhengshan's house?

When sending Qin Jingru home, Qin Jingru's mother Zhou Xiaomei heard that Chang Wei had given a rabbit to her little girl. She never thought that someone would target her five-year-old daughter, and she thought it was because her daughter was with her niece Qin Huairu.

As a result, Qin Huairu was defeated twice in a row by Qin Jingru's mother Zhou Xiaomei.

When he returned home in a rage, his mouth was so dry that a wine bottle could be hung on it.

When Meng Xiaoyun saw what Qin Huairu was holding, she knew without asking that it was given by Chang Wei. Who else would be willing to give such good things to her? She asked her why she was so angry again.

Qin Huairu began to complain to my mother about her grievances.

When Meng Xiaoyun heard this, she used her brain-boosting ability and said with a smile, "Silly girl, asking is caring. Look at what A Wei gave you. Your father likes to eat pig intestines, which proves that he made careful inquiries. He was afraid that you would not be used to it, so he gave you a pheasant. Even the sixth girl got some. What else do you want? If your father had half the care of A Wei, I would wake up laughing in my dreams at night."

After hearing what my mom said, my mood felt like a roller coaster.

Qin Huairu's angry face suddenly became happy again. She happily ran into the room and indulged herself without knowing the way home. No wonder she was anxious to change people. It turned out that she blamed me for being too ignorant...

If Chang Wei knew about Qin's mother Meng Xiaoyun's analysis, he would definitely praise her.

Awesome, what a great teammate! He has deciphered 80% of my intentions, and the effect is even better.

Chang Wei processed the internal organs, rinsed them and put them together with the meat. Occasionally, some villagers would come to buy some meat.

When no one was around, I quietly skinned all the rabbits and plucked the pheasants in my portable space. After processing, I put them in a jar, added salt and pickled them, and occasionally changed the taste.

After everything was sorted out, Chang Wei washed the wild vegetables and mushrooms, strung the mushrooms and hung them out to dry, and picked out some of the more tender wild vegetables to save for frying later. He separated the wild vegetables that could be pickled and those that needed to be dried, and placed them in sacks to dry.

The two wild boars we slaughtered today are not small. After slaughtering them, the meat is estimated to be more than 300 kilograms. The fat of wild boars is relatively thin, so the total weight of the two boars is only about 20 kilograms.

The oil in the house was given by Liu Cuilan. Chang Wei was not going to sell the pork fat this time. He would boil it and keep it for himself.

Wash the lard, cut it into pieces, heat the pan and put it in the pot to boil it. Add some salt while boiling so that it can be stored for a longer time in hot weather.

When it is done, put it into a jar. About 20 kilograms of oil can produce 12 or 13 kilograms. Chang Wei pinched some lard residue to taste it. It was fragrant and crispy with a good taste.

We immediately decided to have fried wild vegetables with lard in the evening, and a flatbread made of two grams of flour would be enough for a meal.

It was already dark after dinner, and Chang Wei quietly washed the wild vegetables and mushrooms in the space. He picked a small basket of tender wild vegetables and mushrooms, cut a piece of pork belly, and made buns under the moonlight.

Chang Wei still has more than ten pounds of noodles that he bought last time. He plans to cook them all tonight. After steaming, he can just put them into the portable space. They will still be hot when he takes them out. How convenient!

He was so busy that he forgot about time. Chang Wei raised his head and saw that the moon was almost overhead. It was probably almost dawn. He made more than ninety big meat buns with oil residue tonight, enough to eat for a few days.

After taking a shower, Chang Wei lay down on the bed and fell asleep soon. No matter how strong he was, he still needed to rest after running all day.

I had something on my mind, so I woke up at the appointed time, washed up, and ate four big meat buns with oil residue.

The pork and offal were loaded onto the cart, the gate was closed, and the cart was pulled like a galloping horse, disappearing from sight.

Although there were still a lot of people at Xinshou Market today, it was easy to sell more than 300 kilograms of pork.

A little after eight o'clock, only four or five pounds of meat were left, and eight pig's trotters were not sold. No one really wanted these wild boar trotters, there was no meat, only bones.

Chang Wei was about to close his stall when the owner of the bun shop next door came.

"Little comrade, can you make this meat cheaper?"

The bun shop owner pointed at the last piece of meat and asked.

"Uncle, this is the best wild boar meat. If you want all of it, I'll give you two hooves."

The price of meat doesn't have to be cheap, but today's wild boar's trotters can be given away, Chang Wei replied with a smile.

"How about four, young comrade? You have skinned this wild boar's trotter and there is no meat on it. I will take it back and make soup for my wife."

The bun shop owner held up four fingers and tried to bargain.

"Uncle, since you said you wanted to make soup for Auntie, I agreed."

Chang Wei smiled brightly.

After selling the last order, Chang Wei pulled the cart back.

When passing by a village on the way back home, I gave four wild boar trotters to the village chief and asked him to help lead the way, and bought a fat pig.

Suddenly I remembered that I didn't water the seedlings in the morning, and I didn't know if they would wilt in the sun. Thinking about the seedlings, I couldn't help but quicken my pace on the way back to the village.

On the way, he took out a big hot meat bun and ate it while walking. When he returned to the village office, he put down the cart, tied up the pig, tidied up everything, and trotted to his private plot.

Under the sun, Chang Wei looked at the green and vibrant seedlings and their moist roots, and knew that someone was helping to water them.

The only ones who can help are either Qin Zhengshan and his wife or Qin Huairu. They are the only ones in the village who have the most interactions with me.

But Chang Wei never expected that it was Qin's mother Meng Xiaoyun who helped water the vegetables. The two families had separate plots of land. In the morning, Meng Xiaoyun came to water the vegetables and saw that Chang Wei's vegetables were not watered, so she did it for him.

Don’t worry about the seedlings. I slept too late last night. I’ll go home and take a nap. I still have things to do in the afternoon!

After sleeping for two hours, I got up and washed my face.

Seeing that the cowshed had been cleaned and fodder had been added, it was clear that Qin Zhengshan had been there.

Thinking that the wheat harvest was getting closer, Qin Zhengshan would also need to use a cart, and he also had to hurry up to build his own house.

When I was chatting with Qin Zhengshan before, he told me that this time period was very tight. After harvesting the wheat, they had to rush to plant rice seedlings, which only took about ten days in total.

Then I had to make a cart. Wood was easy to find, as there was plenty of pine wood on the mountain. But I didn't have any tools, and I didn't know if there was a carpenter in the village.

Chang Wei not only knows how to butcher pigs, but also learns carpentry from his next-door neighbor, Old Zhang, as a hobby.

"Uncle Shan, are you home?"

While thinking, he walked to the door of Qin Zhengshan's house and shouted outside the yard.

"It's Awei! Come in and sit down. Your uncle is going to fertilize the rice seedlings."

Fertilizers such as pig manure or human feces are natural fertilizers.

Liu Cuilan came out with a shoe sole in her hand. Seeing that it was Chang Wei, she greeted him warmly.

"Auntie, I won't go in. Do you know if there is a carpenter in our village?"

Chang Wei asked with a smile.

"Yes! The third brother is a carpenter. Do you want to make some furniture? I'll take you there."

Liu Cuilan walked out and closed the gate.

"Aunt, I just want to borrow some carpentry tools. I can do it myself."

Chang Wei followed Liu Cuilan and answered.

Watching Liu Cuilan's operation, I felt that practice makes perfect! She walked with the sole in her hand without stopping, and the needlework was so smooth.

Stitch by stitch, circle by circle, this is a very old way of sewing the soles of shoes. They are strong and comfortable to wear. They are very wear-resistant and can be used for walking a long way, to a far place, and also for walking back home from a far place.

Once you enter this world, you can't go back.
