Chapter 290 Slaughtering the Chinese New Year Pig
Lu's and the others are used to it, and they don't find it strange at all.

After Cheng Laiqing had finished eating, he took Han Yunwen to dig an earthen stove by the courtyard dam, and then brought out the pig cooking pot at home. Han Yunjing and Shen Qing squatted in front of the earthen stove to light a fire and boiled a pot of boiling water.

After the water boiled, Lu let Han Yunjing and Shen Qing into the house, otherwise they would watch Cheng Laiqing's process of the white knife going in and the red knife coming out, saying that they would be afraid after seeing it, and would have nightmares when they slept at night.

Shen Qing and Han Yunjing hid in the east wing very obediently, and only went out after the screams from the pigs stopped.

When they went out, they saw that Mrs. Lu brought a pot of red pig's blood and put it on the big table in the main room, and then put some salt in the pig's blood. Mr. Lu said that the salt was to make the pig's blood coagulate. It is firmer when you eat it, and it tastes better when you eat it.

Shen Qing had never seen a pig slaughtered before, and the original body did not remember it, so he was an idiot in this regard.

After leaving the main room door, I saw the slaughtered pig placed on the main room door.

This is the way pigs are slaughtered in Yeyufu City. Every household uses the main door. They take down the main door and place it in front of the dug earthen stove. Two high benches are placed in front of the earthen stove. The main door is placed on the high bench and dies. The pig is placed on the door.

Then scald the dead pig with hot water in the pot and shave it.After the hair is shaved, the pig is hung upside down on a large ladder, then disemboweled, the internal organs are taken out, and a pig is divided into two halves.After being divided into two halves, it was placed on the door of the main room, and the meat was chopped with an axe, and the meat was chopped into large pieces for the convenience of preservation.

After a pig was cut into eight pieces, Han Yunwen and Han Yunqiao hung up the pork to drip blood, so as not to soak the blood into the meat and affect the texture of the meat.

As for the internal organs of the pig, they did not throw away the lungs, heart, liver, and fat from the pig, and hung them with the meat.As for the large and small intestines, after they drained all the feces in the large and small intestines, Lu went to wash them, and then hung them up too.

After seeing a pig being broken into pieces, Shen Qing stopped looking at it and went back to the house silently to help Mrs. Lu cook.

Butchering pigs is to eat pig rice.

It's just that their Han family doesn't have any relatives in Baoyan Village, so they don't invite them to eat pig-killing rice.

But still make a good meal and eat together as a family.

Lu's made a table of pork feast, fried pork with chili, twice-cooked pork, braised pork, shredded pork with fish flavor, white meat with garlic paste, boiled meat, fried fungus with cabbage and pork, stewed pork with potatoes, and tamales!

It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten such a delicious and plentiful amount of meat. The family ate very happily and satisfactorily. Everyone’s mouth was full of lard.

However, compared with Cheng Laiqing's food intake, Han Yunjing's family is far worse.

Cheng Laiqing's food intake alone is the food intake of their family.

Originally, they couldn't finish a large table of meat dishes, and they might have to eat three or four meals, but Cheng Laiqing, a big eater, ate up all the meat dishes, and even ate two big sweet potatoes.

Shen Qing was dumbfounded, this Cheng Laiqing really looked like a starved ghost reincarnated!

Mrs. Lu and the others were still very calm, they didn't find it strange at all, and they didn't say that Cheng Laiqing ate too much, but said that if he wasn't full, he would cook another bowl of noodles for Cheng Laiqing!
When tidying up the dishes, Shen Qing couldn't help asking Han Yunjing: "Third brother? Is my uncle's family rich? Otherwise, why would I eat so much?"
