After the Earthquake of Rebirth

In the next few days, Ning Qiyan followed Ning Xiaowen to learn how to take care of these newborn chickens and piglets.

The chick is okay, although it is troublesome, but if feeding and watering, determine the time interval, and then you can know whether to feed water or not by looking at the watch.

The most frustrating thing for Ning Qiyan is that the piglets just started feeding. Ning Xiaowen said that it is best to let the piglets drink milk in a fixed position. At the beginning, people often need to help them adjust their positions.The smaller ones are on the top row, and the larger ones are on the bottom row.After more times, the piggy will find its own fixed position in the future.

But no matter how he looked at it, Ning Qiyan felt that the group of piglets all looked alike, after the first feeding, Ning Qiyan still couldn't tell which one should be where the second time.

Ning Xiaowen didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, Ning Qiyan hadn't seen live pigs in Dalian a few times since he was a child. It's normal that they couldn't tell the difference at the beginning. After more times, he would notice each pig's appearance little by little. the difference.

But Ning Qiyan obviously didn't want to wait for him to get used to it slowly, so he simply took a marker pen and started marking the piglets after Ning Xiaowen adjusted the piggy's position again.

体型最大的这只母猪头顶写上“1”，在它身下喝奶的小猪则按顺序标好：1-1,1-2,1-3……1-9。另一只则是“2”号母猪。它身下的小猪就是2-1号到2-8号。

Ning Xiaowen: "..."

After the two of them watched the piglets drink their milk, put them in a basin and carry them into the house, Huzi laughed as he looked at the numbers written on the piglets' backs.

Even Du Cheng was speechless for a moment, and pulled Ning Qiyan, who was still holding a marker pen in his hand, with a face full of praise for his intelligence, and kissed him hard.

How can my lover be so cute! !

However, although Ning Qiyan's behavior made people laugh and cry, the effect was obvious.Next, drink milk, without Ning Xiaowen's hands, Ning Qiyan can quickly adjust the position of the piglet directly according to the order marked.

Piglets are kept in the living room because they don't need as high a temperature as chickens.As the chickens in the east room grew up day by day, the temperature in the room also dropped a little bit. Although Ning Qiyan and they had to take off their clothes and wear short sleeves every time they entered the room, at least the kang could sleep.

The chicks and piglets were reared regularly, and Ning Xiaowen's attention turned to the ducks that were still brooding.It takes about a week longer for a duck to brood than a hen, and the ducklings will be born in a few days, and the house will probably be more lively by then.

But there is one more thing before that, and that is the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, and it is time to kill the pig.

The day of Lunar New Year was still in chaos at home, so the four of them ignored it together. By the time Ning Xiaowen remembered it, the days had passed.Although it was a pity, there was no other way, so Ning Xiaowen had no choice but to focus on the rest of the day.

Ning Qiyan and Du Cheng didn't know these rules at all, so they did what Ning Xiaowen said.

But even if their family conditions are good, Ning Xiaowen didn't move out all the rules like he did in his hometown.Save what you can, if it wasn't for the decrease in stock in the freezer and the lack of fresh meat for a long time, he would even ignore the days of slaughtering pigs.

On the day of slaughtering the pig, Ning Qiyan got up early in the morning and directed Du Cheng and Huzi to start cleaning the freezer.The two large freezers that were full at the beginning are now less than half of the stock left.There is still a lot of beef because of buying a lot, but pork and mutton have almost bottomed out.

In winter, mutton is consumed the most. Drinking a bowl of mutton soup in a chilly environment will keep you warm from the inside out, which is very comfortable.Throughout the winter, except for Ning Qiyan's cold fever when he went out to save others, Ning Xiaowen and the three of them didn't even have a cold, and the mutton soup accounted for more than half of the credit.

Take out the remaining three mutton chops and two pieces of mutton that are too fat to make mutton soup, and put them in the frozen layer of the refrigerator.

The stock of pork is only a few ribs and trotters.The pig's trotters continued to be frozen in the freezer. After Du Dabao's wound healed, he made them and ate them again.When it's time to eat, leave some more meat and tendons on the bones, so that you can supplement Du Dabao, don't you say what you eat will nourish you? !

Ning Qiyan also looked through the rest of the seafood, took out two packs of scallops and two lumps of shrimp, and a few sea fish, and put the rest in the freezer.

Although their refrigerator is a large double-door refrigerator, the freezer can hold less than one-third of the freezer.

After tidying up the freezer, Ning Qiyan had a good idea of ​​the remaining stock. It seemed that even if the pig was killed, besides eating a few meals of fresh meat to try something new, he had to hurry up to eat the remaining stock. After all, even if it was stored in the freezer, it would There is a shelf life.

Ning Xiaowen cleaned up the things to be used for slaughtering pigs in the yard, and then yelled into the house.

Now that the blizzard has passed, although the temperature is still very low, it is sunny every day, and the inspection time has been changed from once a day to once every three days. They just finished the inspection yesterday, and they have already hung a sign on the door saying that they have something to go out. Someone who came over and saw the sign naturally knew that there was no one at home.

Du Cheng and Huzi simply changed into clean work clothes, while Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen also found a set of not-so-good ones, planning to change into the clothes they would wear when they were farming in spring.

Before when the sow was giving birth, Ning Qiyan could stand on the side and not do anything, just beat the others, but now killing pigs is not enough.

The four of them entered the pigsty together, pressed the boar down, and lifted it up vigorously.

Although it’s not on the scale, but the size is about 200 catties and less than [-] catties. If it’s dead, Huzi and Du Cheng can easily carry it, but this pig is alive and will struggle. It’s only a dozen meters long. The four of them managed to lift the distance.

Carrying it to the stool that had been set up in advance, Du Cheng and Ning Qiyan pressed it hard, Hu Zi picked up the knife, aimed at the position and stabbed it down, turned half a circle, and Ning Xiaowen, who had already got the bucket and was waiting, hurried up to use the bucket Catch the spurted blood.

Ning Qiyan wanted to force himself to stare wide-eyed at the pig under him from struggling and howling to being motionless at the end, but he was pushed behind Du Cheng by the beard who retracted the knife halfway.

In Hu Zi's view, since he and Du Cheng were involved in the matter of killing livestock, there was no need for Ning Qiyan to force himself to watch it.If he can't get used to it, he won't get used to it. Whether it's now or in the future, he doesn't need to cut the knife himself.

Make sure the pig is dead, and take a whole bucket of pig blood. The beard is used to cut the pig's hind leg, and a clean iron rod is inserted, along the cut of the hind leg, until it reaches the pig's neck. .Then blow into the incision again.

Ning Qiyan looked at it strangely, while Du Cheng helped Ning Xiaowen pour the water boiled in a large pot in the house into the huge plastic bucket in the yard.

As the beard kept blowing, the whole pig swelled up like a balloon. The beard saw that it was almost blown, so he asked Ning Qiyan to tie the incision with a rope to ensure that the air blown in would not escape come out.Then, with force, the whole pig was picked up and put head down into a bucket filled with boiling water for hair removal.

After soaking until most of the pig hairs are soft and fall off naturally, the beard will take the pig out and hang it on the tree tied with the hook.Use a knife to scrape off the remaining pig hair, and prepare to open the intestines.

After the abdominal cavity was cut open, the viscera fell directly into the big basin below, and Huzi could handle the rest by himself, so Du Cheng and Ning Qiyan began to help Ning Xiaowen deal with the viscera.

First, wash the small intestine carefully with salt, and under Ning Xiaowen's guidance, Ning Qiyan and Du Cheng began to fill the intestine with blood.Blood sausage is indispensable in pig-killing dishes.

As early as autumn, Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen had planted some cabbage in the field, and now there was more than half of the sauerkraut in the big vat under the eaves, waiting to be slaughtered.

Ning Xiaowen was processing the rest of the internal organs. After the beard disassembled the pig, the internal organs were almost processed, and all the small intestines were stuffed into blood sausage.

Ning Xiaowen saw that there was some pig blood left, so he made it into blood tofu.

Set aside to eat during the Chinese New Year, the remaining half of the pig Ning Qiyan re-cut into pieces and freeze it, and take out a piece to thaw every time you want to eat.

The only waste of the whole pig is the pig's brain, not to mention Ning Qiyan, even Ning Xiaowen is a little afraid to deal with it. Although Hu Zi and Du Cheng have never done it, they dare to do it, but the problem is that the four of them have not done it. People eat pig brains, and they can't give them away, so they have to waste them in the end.

After adjusting the seasoning, put the whole pig's head in to marinate, and then Ning Xiaowen went to the tank and took out a whole sauerkraut, cut fresh pork belly into large slices, and added blood sausage, a typical pig-killing dish.

The head chef is Ning Xiaowen, and Ning Qiyan's cooking tends to be delicate and exquisite. It is no problem for him to fry and fry in a small pot, but when it comes to authentic pig-killing dishes in a big pot, he can't control the heat and can't cook. Pure farm taste.

There is no need for other side dishes, steamed rice in a pot, and the four of them ate around the freshly cooked pig-killing dishes in full swing.Du Dabao took Ning Xiaobao and Ning Xiaobei to circle the table, anxiously pulling the trouser legs of the four of them back and forth. Cool, put them in the rice bowl to let them taste fresh first.

When the four of them were full, the temperature of the food that was left outside to cool them down was just right. Mixed with rice and filled three pots, one large, two small, three pots were filled, and three little creatures that were anxious to scratch the wall pouted their buttocks. Work hard.

Ning Xiaowen was not in a hurry to clean up the bowls and chopsticks, and leaned on the back of the chair with his stomach upright like everyone else, looking at the three little things.

"Why do I feel that our Xiaobao and Xiaobei don't look like domestic cats, but rather like the noble cats mentioned on TV." Ning Xiaowen said, looking at the uniform patterns on the backs of the two kittens .

Beard rolled his eyes, what kind of aristocratic cats, these two are obviously ordinary domestic cats, but they are raised by them to be smooth and smooth, and even the bathing things are specially for cats, even though they were picked up from the ruins. Spend money, but as for so particular about it? !Pick up more shampoo, shower gel and so on, and they can use it together.

Ning Qiyan is also a little funny, Ning Xiaowen is a typical child who is always better than someone else's, even two cats can forcefully talk about noble cats.

"They are indeed domestic cats. When I picked them up, I saw the female cats. They are ordinary tabby cats. I guess this cat's father has genetic stripes. And noble cats are said to be very delicate. Do you look at the two? Gnaw all the bones."

Ning Xiaowen didn't believe it, "I learned how to gnaw bones from Dabao, and you don't think these two are delicate? You have to wait for the bones to be picked before eating fish."

Hu Zi couldn't help it: "You two are used to it, what kind of aristocrats are not aristocrats, have you ever seen a cat that can't pick thorns when eating fish?! And every time you kill a chicken, you have to make the chicken liver separately... "

Before Huzi finished talking, Ning Xiaowen waited for him to glance directly: "It's useless for you to do it!"

Ning Qiyan smiled at Huzi, and said: "So you want to eat it too, next time you will make chicken livers, you and Dabao will share half."

Ning Xiaowen gave him a blank look, "This is promising! Fighting for food with a dog!"

beard:"……"

Does he mean it? !Does he mean it? ! !

Du Cheng glanced at his beard, eating a hundred beans would not be too fishy, ​​he had to interrupt every time, he deserved it!
