The chicken farm was busy working for several days before it came to an end. The fat man's team expanded again, and the two old Lis were recruited at the same time, responsible for the chicken coop and the goose house. For this reason, the total monthly expenses of the fat man for the three old men also became fifteen yuan.

Because there are one hundred more geese, the feed prepared is a bit insufficient. Gooses are big animals, and one hundred geese eat more than a thousand chicks.

The mountains are covered with heavy snow in the past few months, and I can’t find anything to eat. I have to rely on feeding them all. This is why farmers rarely raise winter poultry. Generally, there are a few, and they keep the eggs and eat them at home.

However, the fat man also has his own calculations: there are only four months in the whole winter and it requires feed, and it will be worry-free in the other eight months. There are small fish and shrimps in the water, and there are insects and grasshoppers in the grass, so there is basically no need to feed them.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of feed in the countryside. After purchasing large quantities of crust, wheat, bran, and corn, we stockpiled enough food, so the fat man started to live.

The most freehand life in rural winter is actually the old saying goes "cat winter". There is no farm work, and it is cold outside, so it will freeze into ice when you urinate, which is not a big deal, so you can hide in the house and talk nonsense.

We gathered together to play poker and play cards. Cards are also called Ye Zi Cards, which are basically similar to mahjong. However, there are also 108 generals in Water Margin, adults play cards, and children read the paintings, and each has its own meaning.

The people of Kaoshantun are simple and therefore there are very few gambling people. The most popular Tupaijiu in the countryside has also disappeared here. As for the mahjong that later became popular in China, it was even rarer at that time. Not to mention Kaoshantun, there were not many pairs in the county.

People with a lot of free time can live a comfortable life if they are full every day.

This kind of life is most appropriate for fat people, not to mention that the New Year pig killing activities he has been looking forward to have begun one after another.

There are two major events in winter that are most worth looking forward to: marrying a girl and marrying a wife and killing a pig in the New Year. In previous years, the days were not too easy, so the pigs raised by their own home were sold to the acquisition station, and they exchanged for two dollars to supplement their lives.

This year, every household has some extra money on hand. Sitting on the kang, I took a total of 100% to 100% off, and I ate the pigs at home, and had half of them at home to have a fat New Year.

So after the freezing, the villagers sharpened their knives, but no one dared to move the knives and were waiting for the captain's house. Nothing could be done on the kang across the pot, right?

Early that morning, as soon as the fat man finished his meal, the second girl came over: "Uncle Fat, my family slaughtered pigs today, and grandpa asked you to eat pork." After that, he swallowed his saliva.

How could the fat man miss such a big thing? He just followed Erya.

Captain Li’s house was in charge of a case. Wang Sanpao was rubbing with a pig-killing knife. Generally, he was a knife-killing driver in the village.

"Fatty is here, are you going to take charge today?" Wang Sanpao was fighting haha.

"I'm going to eat meat. When the white knife comes in, the red knife comes out, and the third uncle is an expert." The fat man also argued.

"Catch the pig." Captain Li gave the order, and four young men rushed straight to the pigpen. If you want to say that Captain Li's fat pig was really good, it was caught last winter. It was the next year. It had grown to more than 200 kilograms.

Perhaps it also felt that the situation was a bit abnormal today and kept humming in the circle. Four young men went up and put it down, and each of them pinched one leg, and carried the pig onto the chopping board.

The fat pig opened his mouth wide and howled at the top of his throat. The sound spread throughout Kaoshantun. Many families were thinking: Let's find Wang Sanpao to use his sword tomorrow, and we will also start killing.

The fat man understood why he compared the unpleasant sound to a pig killer, but his ears quickly became clear. He saw a pig killer flashing in Wang Sanpao's hand, sank into the pig's neck, and the howling stopped abruptly.

Wang Sanpao pulled out the knife, and the big fat man next to him had already prepared a large basin. Most of the bright red pig blood flowed through the basin. Wang Sanpao took a willow stick and stirred it in the basin.

The pig's blood sausage needs to be filled with blood sausage in a while, add some water, add onion, ginger, salty salt, and chop some fatty oil in it. Use the large intestine and small intestine to pour it. It is definitely the main course at the pig slaughter banquet.

Then he started to lose his hair, pour boiling water on the pig's body, and scraped it with iron plates. After a while, the big pig became white and fat.

Wang Sanpao turned the pig's knife in his hand, and his head and tail were all down, and then he kept breaking his neck, and the entire pig's internal organs were displayed.

"Yes, it has four fingers of fat." In rural pigs, people use "few fingers" to measure fat and thinness. That is, after the fingers are closed, the thickness of the fat part is called a slap.

The fat man stretched out his fingers to measure it, and thought to himself: In that era, they were basically fattening pigs, and they were slaughtered for three or four months, and at most they were fattened with two fingers.

Wang Sanpao picked out all the oil in the heart, liver, lungs, and then dealt with the intestines and stomachs. The rest was to remove the bones. He saw him flying up and down the pig's knife, dazzling the fat man. After a while, the pork was divided.

Pull down a few steaks and take them to cook in the house. Cut the meat into small pieces and put it in the warehouse for freezing. The work outside will be completed.

The fat man and everyone entered the house, and saw a few women cutting sauerkraut on the side of the pot, creaking and creaking in several large pots. In the pot, fat meat, heart and liver, and a few big bone sticks, put some green onions, ginger, garlic and pepper, and a layer of oil beads floated on it, and the aroma of meat was already emitted.

The fat man held his nose and smelled it, and couldn't help but sigh: It turns out that pork is so fragrant.

In fact, if you think about it, you will understand that the pig has a long growth cycle and exercises a lot every day. He eats a lot of wild vegetables on the mountain and grain in the field, so the meat quality is of course different.

After the meat is cooked until it is 80% cooked, the sauerkraut is started. After the sauerkraut is gushed for two hours, the blood sausage is ready, tied both ends with thread and slowly put it in the pot.

While cooking on low heat, use fine needles to prick on it from time to time to release the air inside so as not to burst the intestines.

The house has long been put on the table, one in the east and west rooms, and a "stand on the side" is rarely placed on the ground, which is a table that can be put together when not in use.

Captain Li calculated with his fingers last night, which guests he needed to invite today, one was a few respected elders, and the other was relatives and friends.

These people also came one after another, and they all said it was very fragrant when they entered the house, and then they went into the house to chat. There were cigarette baskets on the kang, some rolled up cigarettes, and some sucked the bags. The fat man scattered a circle of the big front door, and then sat there and chatted with him.

"It's time to eat--" Aunt Li shouted, and everyone immediately took their place. A large bowl of stewed sauerkraut came first, followed by a plate of blood sausage, a plate of white meat, a plate of heart and liver, and a large bowl of garlic paste.

White meat dipped in garlic paste, sauerkraut and blood sausage, this is the authentic and authentic pig-killing dish.

The fat man sat on the kang, his index finger moved, picked up a piece of blood sausage, trembling, and put it in his mouth, it was fragrant and tender, and he couldn't help but smack his lips.

"Eat meat, eat meat." Captain Li was busy and kept doing it. At that time, there was not much meat and fish that year. It was rare to eat pork. Everyone shook their chopsticks and were not polite.

He picked up a large piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth. The fat man couldn't help but praise it. It was fat but not greasy, and the meat was rich in fragrance, which was definitely something he could not taste in that era.

Soon the plates on the table became empty, but it was fine, so I could eat and fill it up. At the end of the meal, the plates were still full.

The fat man wiped a handful of sweat beads on his forehead, then served a bowl of hot sauerkraut soup to relieve the greasiness. At this time, he heard the crisp sound of the outer room coming in: "I'm off school."

Soon Qiqi poked out a little head at the door of the house, grimaced at the fat man, and then went to the west room to eat. The habit of the countryside is that the east is big and the west is small, and the elders live in the east room, and the west room is Captain Li's son.

The fat man couldn't sit on the kang, and Captain Li laughed: "I've told Teacher Xiaoyu a long time ago."

The fat man yelled twice before he continued to concentrate on eating meat. After thinking about it, he ate a plate by himself.

The rhythm of the chopsticks slowly dropped, and everyone started to drink, one cup after another, and the fat man finally fainted.

As soon as the table was put, I drank a lot of wine, and chatted about it, and nothing was wrong.
Chapter completed!
