One Thousand Four Hundred Seventy-Three. Killing the New Year Pig
Time passed, and it entered the end of mid-February. According to the lunar calendar, it is now a small year.
Of course, spending New Year’s Eve in Canada is different from that in China. The time is not correct. It’s night in China, but it’s still sunny in Canada, so we can only live our lives separately.
Qin Shiou had agreed in advance how to live. On that day, Geng Junjie and the nine major eunuchs under his command were all on vacation, so they didn't have to go to work. They came to help kill the pigs for the New Year and prepare the New Year's goods.
Native pigs have a variety of food habits, a lot of activity, and have certain combat effectiveness. Moreover, there are wild boars, elk, and moose in the pens.
Qin Shiou planned to catch three big pigs and two and a half big pigs, making a total of five pigs, and then shouted: "Old Geng!"
"Here!" Geng Junjie ran over quickly.
"Five pigs, three big and two small, let's arrange it." Qin Shiou said.
Mao Weilong was surprised and said, "As for it, five pigs? I also brought so much beef and mutton, can I eat it?"
Qin Shiou said: "Of course, we are a family of more than 20 people. These five pigs have to eat until the fifth and sixth day of the new year. Just look at these guys, can five pigs eat it?"
Two people and one pig, the soldiers entered the pen and the pen became lively, the rooster crowed, the pig crowed and the deer roared, creating an extremely chaotic situation.
Qin Shiou lay on the high fence and looked in. The soldiers, like devils entering the village, cooperated in pairs to catch pigs. These native pigs were not honest, and some of them would bite when they turned around.
This scene was beyond the expectation of Qin Daguan, and he quickly reminded: "Be careful, don't get infected with any bacteria, these pigs have not been vaccinated."
Comrades in the People’s Liberation Army use belts in all directions. Geng Junjie smiled and said it’s okay. He brought down a pig and tied its hind legs neatly with belts, and then tied its front legs. The two men lifted it up with sticks. come out.
Bird was the one who killed the pigs in the fishery. His sharp knife was almost unremarkable. Father Qin saw it for the first time. He said that if he didn't work in the fishing ground, he would go to the slaughterhouse, and one slaughtered pig would be worth five.
I don't know if Bird has a murderous aura from killing pigs and chickens all the year round. As soon as he got close, the black pig opened its mouth and howled. The sound was extremely shrill.
Gordon and Weiss came over curiously, and Qin Shiou pulled them away and said, "What are you looking at? Pack your schoolbags and get ready to go to school."
"We don't go to school today.
" Gordon said happily.
Qin Shiou was surprised that today was not a weekend, let alone a holiday. Why don't they go to school? Just as he was about to ask, the two teenagers rushed away immediately, panicking like dogs.
There is something wrong, Qin Shiou understood. He saw Xue Li grooming the two fancy horses, so he walked over and said, "Why don't you guys go to school today?"
Shirley shrugged and said, "The teacher said it's a holiday, so let's have a holiday."
Qin Shiou took out his mobile phone to call the school. Seeing this, Shirley became a little anxious. She patted Lu's neck to make him wait quietly, and then snatched Qin Shiou's mobile phone. He smiled flatteringly and said, "Qin, can you help me feed Baogong? He likes to eat carrots very much. If you feed him, he will fall in love with you."
Qin Daguan is not so easy to fool, he lowered his face and said: "Say, what's going on?"
Xue Li's eyes flickered, and she changed the subject: "Qin, I feel a little irritable recently..."
"Called your teacher!"
"Okay, okay, I said that's it, let's tell the teacher. Today is a traditional Chinese festival, and the fishing grounds have to celebrate, so he gave us a day off." Shirley pouted.
Qin Shiou stared and said: "Isn't this nonsense? Even in my hometown, students will not have a holiday during this festival!"
Shirley came up and took his arm. Hugging her chest and shaking it vigorously, she said coquettishly: "Don't be like this, Qin, this is indeed a festival, and the festival should be a holiday. Don't tell Sister Wei Ni, okay? Okay..."
The big loli doesn't know who she learned from. He even learned how to stretch the baby's voice to act like a baby, Qin Shiou quickly pulled out his arms, rolled up his sleeves and looked carefully.
Shirley asked strangely, "What are you looking for?"
"Hairy." Qin Shiou said, "Whenever I feel sick, my hairs stand on end."
Shirley stomped her feet and wanted to act coquettishly, Qin Shiou waved her hand to signal her to stay away, and warned her: "This is the last time, if you dare to play tricks with us and the school in the future, I will teach you a lesson."
"How do you teach me a lesson?" Xue Li asked with a smile, her big eyes flickering, spring water gushing darkly.
Qin Shiou was really chilled, so he left quickly, otherwise something would happen if he stayed.
A big pig was tied to the chopping board, and Byrd sprinkled some snow on the sharp saber. The sun was shining, but the blade was not warm, but gave off a cold light.
"Good knife." Geng Junjie praised.
Bird smiled, and inserted a knife through the pig's left eye, destroying the pig's brainstem. In this way, the howling earth pig kicked its legs and died quickly.
Then, I saw the saber turning quickly on the pig's body like flying, and a few bloodstains appeared on the pig's skin. Bird was busy for about two or three minutes. Geng Junjie and others came up to clean up with the prepared basin. into blocks.
The four pig's trotters were taken away, and the pig's legs were kept to make ham. One of the employees Qin Shiou recruited this time was from the southern Yunnan region. His hometown is a famous ham producing area in China. He learned how to make ham from his family since he was a child.
Pieces of pork were disassembled, pig heart, liver, and lungs were packed separately, and the smelly pig intestines were thrown into an ice bucket. Geng Junjie found a soldier and asked him to take it to the seaside to deal with it.
After a large pot of pig blood was connected, Qin's father stirred it with a wooden stick to prevent it from solidifying. While stirring, he put hot lard, onion, ginger, garlic, starch, tofu, and finally put it into the casing. This is a set of blood sausage.
Blood sausage has always been one of the protagonists in pig-killing rice. In fact, it may not be very delicious. The main reason is that it contains enough lard and tastes delicious. In the past, Qin Shiou’s hometown was not in good condition, so lard blood sausage is very precious.
Now I eat pig-killing rice and blood sausage, what I eat is memories.
This meal is mainly meat, and the pig's offal, pig's head, pig's trotters, and pig's knuckles must be marinated. It will take at least four or five days to eat, and it must be stewed with good soup.
Pieces of pork chops were stewed in the pot, and the shiitake mushrooms dried from the mountains in autumn were put into it, and soon a layer of pure and light yellow oil flowers floated in the pot, with a tangy fragrance.
Qin's father and Qin's mother were busy and happy. At their age, they like to be lively. Song Qingshan and ten soldiers joined in. It's as lively as it is.
The tiger and the leopard were wagging their tails happily. Qin Shiou asked Shaq to help them barbecue. Lalawang gnawed first, and his belly was round and fat.
Qin Shiou set up an oil pan outside, and as soon as the firewood was lit, the temperature rose immediately. Although it was severe winter, the roaster was still sweating. (To be continued.)
