Reborn Farmhouse: Planting Fields, Flirting with People

Chapter 691 Killing the New Year Pig (1)

Li Mingyue was about to respond, but Li Shou suddenly said: "We will discuss this later, we have something to do at home tomorrow."

Li Mingzhi scratched the back of his head, wondering: "What's the matter, why don't I know?"

"It's almost Chinese New Year, and it happens that Brother Yuan is here. I'm thinking about killing our family's New Year pig tomorrow. It's very lively."

In the twelfth lunar month, most people have to kill pigs to prepare meat for making dumplings and cooking for the New Year, which is called "killing pigs for the New Year".

The nursery rhymes sang "Don't cry, children, kill pigs when the twelfth lunar month comes", "Don't be greedy, children, the new year is after the twelfth lunar month", which are enough to reflect people's desire to kill pigs and eat meat.

Killing the New Year Pig is a very grand event for the farmers. On such a day, it is natural for the whole family to be neat and tidy, so Li Shou deliberately waited for Fang Yuan to come back before killing the New Year Pig, so that he could also Follow the excitement.

Fang Yuan and Zhao Wu originally planned to leave early the next morning, so they stayed for another day.

*
Before dawn in the morning, the Li family's mansion had already turned on the lights, and people bustled around, boiling hot water, sharpening kitchen knives, and preparing to kill pigs.

Li Mingyue was still asleep when she was awakened by heart-piercing howls of pigs.

She turned over and continued to sleep. Not long after, she was disturbed by a knock on the door, accompanied by a female voice, "Lazy pig, get up, lazy pig, get up soon."

"Come on, come on, it's hard to get a good night's sleep early in the morning." She was so noisy that she got up in a daze and went to open the door. Standing outside the door was the croaking girl Wu Yunwan.

She wore a bright red cloak, with a circle of white rabbit fur on the brim of the hat, which made her lips red and teeth white, and she was full of vigor. This kind of dress was especially eye-catching in this cold winter day.

She hugged Li Mingyue's shoulder excitedly, and said excitedly: "The pig is being slaughtered ahead, let's go and see it together. I've grown up so much, I haven't seen a pig being slaughtered yet."

Li Mingyue's head was full of black lines, "What's so interesting about killing a pig? It's bloody like the crime scene. I advise you not to go, it will leave a shadow."

After all, she planned to continue to go back to sleep in, but Wu Yunwan desperately pulled her away, "Oh, why don't you just accompany me to see, killing pigs is nothing to see, but Xiao Chen's killing pigs is worth seeing. It seems that Fangyuan of your family has also gone to help, so don't you wonder what your man looks like with a butcher's knife?"

"..."

Li Mingyue couldn't hold her back, so she had to go back to her room and change her clothes, and accompanied her to watch the slaughter of pigs.

When the two arrived at the scene of the crime, the two fat pigs were already dead, lying there motionless, with a black blood hole on their necks, which looked a little scary.

Two people were in charge of pouring hot water on the pig, while Fang Yuan and the others were holding knives and shaving the pig's fur.

Several young masters from the Hou family family are actually killing pigs with butcher knives in a serious manner, who will believe it...

Li Mingyue couldn't help thinking, if Master Fang Hou saw this scene, he would be so angry.

The pig hair was shaved off in a while, and the next step was "dissection". They didn't know how to do this, and a professional had to do it. They put down their knives and stepped aside.

Only then did Fang Yuan see the two standing not far away, and trotted over, "Why did you get up so early today, and you didn't sleep much."

Li Mingyue saw that his head was sweating profusely, his body was dirty, and he still smelled bad, so she couldn't help but feel distressed, and said with a frown, "I haven't asked you yet, you are a scholar, what kind of pig do you come here to kill, you are not afraid to speak out people joke."
