The daily life of a farm girl raising a family

Zhao Yunxi and others returned to Shatian Village, where many people were having lunch.

Entering the courtyard, Zhao Yunxi saw that the courtyard was already crowded with people.

When Mrs. Zhou saw several children coming back, she hurriedly asked: "Have you guys had lunch? There is no food that is still hot on the stove."

"Have eaten grandma's milk."

After moving all the things into the house, Zhao Yunxi rolled up his sleeves and planned to help clean the piles of dishes and chopsticks in the yard.

Seeing this, Ms. Feng shouted with a smile: "Xiao Jiuyue, we are here to do it. You two go to the house and help sister-in-law watch Niuniu, Xiao Shitou and the others."

Qian also followed: "It just so happens that you come back and help my sister-in-law watch, otherwise I would have to keep an eye on the three of them while working."

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou also asked the two children to go. She just saw several children coming back carrying large and small bags.

She also bought a bunch of fireworks and firecrackers. Thinking of what her children had said before, Ms. Zhou completely ignored them.

As long as there is no problem with the child's general direction, there is nothing to worry about.

Sister Zhao Yunxi walked into the main room and looked at the three brothers and sisters who were chasing and playing in the main room.

Sitting aside, I happily watched the tiger chasing his younger brothers and sisters, and the whole hall was filled with the sound of their laughter.

After watching for a while, Zhao Yunxi finally realized something was wrong.

This is exactly like Niu Niu and Xiao Shitou walking around with tiger heads.

After running a few laps, Niuniu suddenly saw Zhao Yunxi sitting beside her.

It rushed over like a cannonball.

"Sister-in-law, did you buy me candy in the county town?"

The little girl who rushed into Zhao Yunxi's arms raised her head and showed a toothless smile to Zhao Yunxi.

"I bought it, but I can't eat it now. When Uncle Yunzheng and the others come back, they can eat it."

The little stone on the side stopped playing around when he heard that there was candy.

He ran up to Zhao Yunxi and started acting coquettishly, but Zhao Yunxi was really worn down to the point of being helpless.

I could only open the package and take one for each of the three children.

Hutou looked at the candy in his hand and smiled shyly.

Looking like a young lady, Zhao Yunxi really couldn't hold it back.

He directly moved the tiger's head.

Looking at Hu Tou's dull eyes, Zhao Yunxi instantly felt embarrassed.

He looked down and put his hands behind his back to hide them.

"Sister-in-law, it's okay. My mother said she liked me, so she touched my head like this."

Zhao Yunxi liked Hu Tou even more when he saw the shy look on his face and his serious speech.

When the first few people from Old Zhao came back, the butcher they invited happened to arrive at Zhao's house.

Seeing the butcher coming, the group ate lunch quickly.

Then clear the chopping board.

In the pig pen in the backyard, two pigs screamed hungry. Because the pigs were being killed today, there was no feeding since last night.

When the butcher saw Old Zhao, he raised his voice and said, "Uncle Zhao, do you want to kill him in the yard or carry him out?"

Old Zhaotou said hurriedly: "Kill outside, otherwise there won't be anyone left in this yard later."

"Okay, then please ask Uncle Zhao to drive the pigs out. Then set up a stove and boil a large pot of hot water."

When the Zhao family heard the order, they immediately took action. The three daughters-in-law went to set up a stove and boil water. The father and son, plus the children of the two parents' families, went to the backyard to help the pigs.

Maybe he was very hungry, or maybe he anticipated his own end.

The two pigs, which had always been clumsy, suddenly became extremely nimble.

A group of people couldn't clean it up for a while, and it took a lot of effort to tie up the two pigs and carry them out.

A solid pig was tied up on the chopping board, with its head hanging outside the chopping board.

This was Zhao Yunxi's first time seeing a pig being butchered. The butcher had sharpened the butcher's knife again and again, and the knife shone in the sunlight. The pig on the chopping board began to struggle even more as it listened to the sound of sharpening the knife.

The butcher poured some wine on the knife, grasped the pig's ear with his left hand, and inserted it into the pig's neck quickly and accurately with his right hand.

Along with the high-pitched pig cry, pig blood spurted out.

Zhao Youliang, who was well prepared, took the bucket and rushed forward to collect the pig's blood into the bucket.

Gradually, the pig's screams turned from high-pitched to wheezing, and the spurting blood turned into trickles and drops.

The water on the stove was already boiling. The butcher took a bucket of water and poured it on.

After pouring three buckets of water, the butcher quickly cleaned the pig hair with a razor.

After a quarter of an hour, a pig was groomed cleanly.

The butcher cut the pig in half and had someone carry it to another cutting board.

Then he walked to the chopping board and divided the pig with quick hands and feet.

Zhao Yunxi finally saw the real-life version of "The Cook and the Cow" that he learned in the text in his previous life.

It was around four o'clock in the afternoon when we finished cleaning up the two pigs.

Generally, when a pig is killed, pig-killing rice is eaten. Pork liver, pickled cabbage and pig blood soup, braised meatballs, and pickled cabbage and radish stewed with stick bones are all indispensable dishes on the pig-killing rice.

When Old Zhaotou saw that the butcher had packed up, he handed over the red envelope he had prepared. Said: "Thank you for your hard work today, come in and have a sip of tea and rest for a while."

When the butcher saw the red envelope handed over by Old Zhao, he declined and said, "Uncle Zhao, I can't even accept this money.

There are two talented people in your hometown, which will make us Shatin Village people look bad.

I can't accept this money. Many people in the village will scold me. "

Old Zhaotou said with a smile: "You deserve this, how can you not accept it.

If you don't accept it, I won't ask you to kill pigs for my family. "

After saying that, he handed over the red envelope. The butcher was also an upright person and would not accept payment no matter what.

Zhao Youde couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward and took the red seal and stuffed it into the butcher's hand.

"This is what I gave you. You had a knife operation today, so you have to receive a red envelope, otherwise it will be against the rules. Let's go inside and drink tea."

Seeing that he couldn't refuse the offer, the butcher had no choice but to accept it.

The sisters-in-law and others used the hot water in the pot to clean up the large intestines, heart and lungs, and then took them to the kitchen to start preparing tonight's dinner.

Yang took out a large pot of sauerkraut from the jar, took it to the cutting board and cut it into shreds, then rinsed it twice with warm water and set it aside for later use.

Mr. He on the side quickly put the heart and lung knife that had been processed before on the plate.

Mrs. Wu quickly washed out the pot and said to her cousin-in-law in front of the stove: "Sister-in-law, please make the fire bigger."

Wang, Zhao Youde's daughter-in-law, who was in front of the stove, heard this and immediately used tongs to sort out the firewood. The originally small firelight immediately began to dance after getting air.

The sisters-in-law and the others worked hard for an hour and finally prepared tonight's meal.

This is Zhao Yunxi’s first time eating pig meat. In his previous life, he had only seen it on various platforms.

Although they were all foods she had eaten before, she just felt that tonight's meal was particularly tempting.

After the old man at the head of the table moved his chopsticks, everyone put their chopsticks into the dishes that they had been looking forward to.

Zhao Yunxi first picked himself a big bone stewed with pickled cabbage, and then scooped himself a ladle of pickled cabbage soup.

Ignoring the heat of the stick bone, one sip leaves a fragrant aroma on your lips and teeth.

Normally eating stick bones always feels a bit greasy, but after stewing them with sauerkraut, this problem does not exist at all.

In the whole room, apart from the sounds of the men at the next table urging each other to drink, the only sounds in the room were the sucking sounds of everyone eating.

After sucking the marrow of the stick bone into his mouth, Zhao Yunxi stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the pork liver with green onions and garlic sprouts.

The pig was killed today, and the Zhao family didn't skimp on the lard when cooking.

Tonight's pork liver was tender and had no fishy smell. With the garlic sprouts, Zhao Yunxi had a bowl of rice.

Finally, Zhao Yunxi finished tonight's dinner with a bowl of pig blood and pickled cabbage soup.
