Hard times have room

Chapter 1025 Welcome to Spring
On the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, the day of welcoming spring, after breakfast, Pauline's family started cleaning.

This year, the dense spider webs hanging on the beams have been cleaned one by one. I have to say that this process is very healing.

The gray curtain hanging on the kitchen roof also looks unique. The gray curtain is a web knotted by spiders, which absorbs dust for a long time, and is blackened by smoke. There is e-liquid in the smoke, which is easy to absorb dust. It forms a string that looks like a curtain. When cleaning, watching this thing is removed little by little, it makes one feel good.

Because of her pregnancy, Su Hongying only did some chores such as sweeping the floor and wiping the table in the main room. The kitchen was full of dust, so she was not allowed in.

After cleaning in the morning, the whole family became disheartened. In the afternoon, they began to boil water and take a bath one by one. After the Spring Festival, they must be washed clean.

On the 25th, several cadres in the village began to discuss the matter of killing pigs for the New Year. There were still six pigs in the pigsty. There were originally [-] pigs raised in total, and the other nine were task pigs, which were handed over.

This year's pigs are well raised. They are all big fat pigs. In addition to the money, there are additional meat tickets. A pig will be given as much meat tickets as how many pounds of pork it exceeds the quota.

The nine task pigs, all together, have a total of more than 150 catties of meat tickets, which have to be divided, divided according to the head, adults count as one, children count as half, and Pauline's family divided six taels Meat tickets, because her family is small, only three heads.

In the past few years, the population of the village has grown rapidly, and most people have baby cries in their homes. Like the old house, one per year can only be regarded as common.

Dongmei's family, in the past three or four years, her brother and sister-in-law have added nine nephews and nieces to her, which is not too many. People, living in a house with only six or seven rooms, it is called a crowd.

On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, the village slaughtered pigs, and it was very lively early in the morning.

This time, it was Paulin who brought the pot at home to pick up pig blood. Because of her pregnancy, Su Hongying was extremely lethargic during this time, and she hasn't woken up yet!

Last night, Paulin had already taken care of this matter, so Su Hongying slept comfortably today, and she didn't have to worry about picking up the pig's blood.

She went very early, and when it was just dawn, she arrived at the place where the grain is being dried.

Because the drying farm is flat and large, pigs are slaughtered here every year in the village.

Pauline was one of the first few people in the queue. The aunts around her had been curious about her for a long time. During the waiting process, the group of them kept talking.

Although some don't quite understand who some of them are talking about, it doesn't prevent her from listening to gossip!One after another, after passing through the mouths of these aunts, it suddenly became lively and interesting, and there was an aunt who had a very special accent, and it was very interesting to hear her speak.

Suddenly, a humming sound came. It turned out that the people who had gone to catch the pig came back. The four hooves of the pig had been tied in pairs. The pigs were carried to the drying field.

At this time, everyone who was still talking stopped together and stared at the big fat pigs.

"This pig is really fat, much stronger than last year. Six big fat pigs, this year is a fat year!"

"Yeah, now these days are getting more and more hopeful."

"Speaking of which, if you come early and queue up in the front, will you be able to get pork belly?"

"Don't talk about pork belly, the first few people said that they can't directly share the fat in the belly of this big fat pig. That's a good thing, and it's all oil when boiled."

"Don't talk about it, I'm going to be greedy for you. This year, I have to make dumplings to eat anything during the Chinese New Year. It's good to wrap this meat."

"Come on, it's just you old man, it would be good to cut some lean meat and cook a soup, and taste the smell of meat."

"That's right, haha"

These old ladies have decided to wait a while and let their family members come here to line up. They must be fast, otherwise, this good thing may not be their turn.

Soon, the pig was placed on the bench, lying flat, and began to howl hoarsely, as if anticipating his own end, the howl was hard.

At this time, the person who killed the pig was already wiping the knife that had just been sharpened, and he started immediately.

When it was about to die, the resistance of the pig was particularly fierce, and the four hooves were kicking uncontrollably, but it was to no avail. The bright red pig blood fell into the big basin at the bottom, and the blood of a pig had to be divided into two big basins. .

When the blood is packed and brought to one side, the salt water that has been prepared a long time ago will be poured in, and the stirring will begin. After a while, the pig blood begins to coagulate.

Next, the pig blood was distributed very quickly. In two or three minutes, it was Bao Lin's turn. The one who was taking the pig blood was Bao Lin's uncle. And smiled at Pauline.

"Thank you, uncle." Pauline called out with a smile, and then quit the team.

The people in line behind Bao Lin couldn't wait to shove the basin over, and the whole family was still waiting for this pig's blood to eat breakfast!

Today, all the men, women and children in Shanghe Village are very happy. Because they can eat meat, many people have not eaten meat for almost a year. Today, the village kills pigs, and every household can eat pork.

Paulin rushed home with pig blood. She came to line up at the drying farm early in the morning. She was very hungry, and there was a pregnant woman waiting for her to feed!

After she got home, Su Hongying hadn't gotten up yet, but when the pig blood was about to come out of the pot, she got up, and when she was washing, her speed was very fast.

Simple pig blood, boiled, add some peanut oil and shallots, the taste is called fresh.

After eating, wiped their mouths and didn't even wash the dishes, the mother and daughter took the baskets and went to the drying field.

Originally, Pauline didn't want her mother to go there. It's a cold day. Although the ground is very dry, you don't have to worry about slipping, but it's cold outside!Especially when the cold wind is blowing, the cold wind seems to be able to drill directly into the gap along the clothes, and you will feel cold all over as it blows against the flesh.

But Su Hongying didn't agree. In her opinion, Pauline was still too tender, and she could leave it to her for such an unskilled job as scooping pig blood, but if it was about choosing pork, ten Pauline would also than her.

She has heard that today the village will kill six big fat pigs, which is much better than last year. Their family will definitely be able to share more than a pound of meat than last year. She has to watch over the meat distribution.

Besides, in addition to those from the village, the family also has to buy some pork and offal. Bao Lin, a novice, is not at ease.
