Chapter 21 Killing the New Year Pig

Seeing that Wu Minxia's arrogance was almost suppressed, Wu Xiaozheng walked over with a smile and squatted down beside her.

"Auntie, calm down!"

"Aren't you afraid that I'll beat you up?" Wu Minxia was no longer in the mood to quarrel with Wu Xiaozheng.

"If you really want to fight, you can't beat me at all."

Seeing Wu Xiaozheng's cheeky face, Wu Minxia became angry again, and slapped him across the face.

It's a pity that Wu Xiaozheng grabbed her hand easily, and she couldn't get it off after struggling for several times.

"When you are an aunt, you have to look like an aunt, not like a child."

Then Wu Xiaozheng let go of Wu Minxia's hand.

Wu Minxia: "..."

Am I like a child?
But when you think about it, it's not an exaggeration to say that I went to fight with my teenage nephew, but the person who said this should not be Wu Xiaozheng.

"How did you become so mature all of a sudden?"

"Can I support this family if I'm immature?"

"You support this family?" Wu Minxia really thought she heard it wrong.

"Of course, if it wasn't for me, where would we have meat to eat during the Chinese New Year?" Wu Xiaozheng replied as a matter of course.

If you want to convince this pungent aunt, low-key and modesty will not work.

Wu Minxia really doesn't want to make trouble anymore, she wants to satisfy her curiosity now: "Why did you suddenly become so sensible? When did you learn how to cook?"

Wu Xiaozheng stared at Wu Minxia very seriously and said: "The children of the poor are already in charge."

Wu Minxia was shocked when she heard it. It really didn't sound like a teenager who was less than 14 years old said this, but it sounded very reasonable.At this moment, she felt that her nephew was really sensible.

"As for cooking, just think about such trivial matters a little bit, we are cultural people." Wu Xiaozheng added a very far-fetched reason.

"Small matter? Then get one for me to see!"

Wu Xiaozheng's interference strategy had an effect again. His arrogance made Wu Minxia unconsciously ignore the matter that should be investigated further, and provoked Wu Xiaozheng's stabbing again.

Wu Xiaozheng was secretly happy.

A little woman is a little woman, and IQ is still a little worse than mine.

"Okay, you can help me at noon."

The war between aunt and nephew finally subsided temporarily.

The water in the cauldron had begun to boil, the pig butcher had arrived, and other people who came to help had also arrived, all of whom were relatives who were closer to the Wu family.

Butchering pigs is a technical job, and ordinary people can't handle it. It must be done by a professional pig butcher.

In the early years, pig butcher was a good profession.This is because every time a pig butcher kills a pig for someone else, the owner will give a piece of meat plus some pig offal as a reward, which means that the pig butcher’s family often has meat to eat. Just this, I don’t know how many children are envious died.

Later, with the liberalization of the policy, after the sale of meat no longer required a meat ticket, many butchers became part-time butchers, and their income was not bad, and they had meat every day, but not so many people envied them , because there are more and more wealthy households, eating meat is no longer a rare thing.

The butcher who came to Wu's house to help was also from Xiangshui Village. His surname was Wei, and he was known as Wei Butcher.

Because he hadn't seen a pig slaughtered for many years, Wu Xiaozheng watched it with great interest.

The Chinese New Year pigs have already been released, and they have been wandering around the small yard of the Wu family for a long time.

Butcher Wei, who was wearing a leather bib specially designed for slaughtering pigs, touched it quietly, and the other helpers followed suit.Butcher Wei had quick eyesight and quick hands, grabbed one of the pig's ears, and knocked a big fat pig weighing more than two hundred catties to the ground.

This is ability, as expected of a person who relies on ability to make a living!

Wu Xiaozheng quietly praised it.

Several helpers followed immediately, and those who pressed their feet pressed their feet, and those who pulled their tails pulled their tails. The pig couldn't move at all, and screamed wantonly, which could be heard far away.

Butcher Wei grabbed the other ear of the pig and lifted it up a little. A shoulder pole was inserted under the pig. Two helpers each freed up a hand to grab one end of the pole and lifted the pig up. He got up and pressed down on the two toon stools that had been prepared.

Butcher Wei changed his posture.

He pressed the pig's head to his waist, freed his left hand, and tightly covered the pig's mouth, and now the pig could only whine.

Grandma Wu put a small wooden basin filled with salt water under the pig's head.

Butcher Wei took the butcher's knife, stabbed it under the pig's neck, and pulled it out again, a gust of pig blood rushed out and shot into the wooden basin below.

The blood was quickly drained.

After the small wooden basin containing the pig's blood was removed, Butcher Wei took the lead in throwing the pig into the ground covered with straw. The pig twitched a few more times on the ground and stopped moving.

The whole process was a bit bloody, but it was nothing to the rural people, even Wu Xiaoli watched it with great interest.

Wu Xiaozheng thought to himself, this girl must be thinking at this moment: There is meat for this next meal!
The next step is to shave the pig hair, which is also a technical job.

Butcher Wei grabbed a pig's hind hoof, cut a small V-shaped opening on the top of the pig's claw with a knife, then lifted the V-shaped pig skin, and inserted a stick specially made of steel bar into the small opening. Under the skin, insert a dozen times around the pig's body along the pig's skin until it reaches the pig's neck.

Next, Butcher Wei puffed up his cheeks at the V-shaped incision with his mouth and blew vigorously. After a while, the pig was blown up like a balloon.

Butcher Wei next took a hemp rope, tied the V-shaped incision tightly, and then prepared to scald the pig.

Because the Wu family does not have a large wooden barrel for blanching pigs, they use the ground blanching method.

Spoonfuls of boiling water were poured on the pig, and the pig was soaked everywhere.

Butcher Wei tried to pull the pig hair, and when he found that it was almost enough, he took out a few scrapers for shaving pig hair, and took two helpers to scrape the pig hair vigorously.

Soon, the pig hair was shaved off, revealing the white pig skin.

Then it's gut-wrenching.

Butcher Wei made a small cut in the pig's nose, threaded it through a rope, made a loop, and then put an iron handle on the rope, and several people worked together to hoist the pig to a wooden staircase.

Butcher Wei cut open the pig's belly with a vertical stroke of a knife, and then propped it up and down with a few steel bars, revealing the internal organs and fat of the belly.

After the pig viscera and lard are pulled off by the Wei butcher, the whole process of killing the New Year pig is basically completed, and the rest is some finishing work.

The finishing work was a bit dirty, mainly dealing with pork belly, washing pig intestines, etc. These things were done by helpers, so Wu Xiaozheng didn't continue to look at them.

He had to take Wu Minxia to prepare pig dishes, which was a very grand meal in the countryside.

Wu Minxia couldn't wait a long time ago, she wanted to see Wu Xiaozheng's cooking skills.
