"Why has the price of pork increased so much this year? It costs six yuan a pound, and in some places it's more than six yuan?" Households want less, and no one is willing to sell pork, so the price of meat keeps rising.”< br>
"Huh? It doesn't make sense. The more people buy it, the more expensive it becomes?"
"I don't understand this, I'm not an economist."
Chen Ling He and Zhao Dahai kept chatting, and many young people followed him to watch the pig being slaughtered.
Among them, Wang Lixian came here on his own after hearing the news and came here to help.
Because the pigs are killed in the village yard, and in order to boil water to remove the pig hair, they are not in the farm, and everyone is close to each other.
Chen Ze and Chen Yuqiang also came over.
Anyway, there is strength in numbers, so everyone is busy.
Some spread oilcloth on the ground, and some carried door panels and benches. Before Chen Ling could do anything, the pig had been put down by everyone.
And it was quickly placed on the door panel.
Wang Lixian also brought a butcher knife specially at this time. He had a 'tool bag' for the knife.
There are hunting knives, castration knives, skinning knives, and butcher knives, which are very complete.
Now he picked out a sharp knife from it and began to swing it. The sharp knife and sharpening rod in his hand made a clicking sound.
"Brother Xian, let me do it this time. We have killed a lot of wild boars, but we have never killed domestic pigs."
Naturally, Chen Ling wanted to do the pigs he ate at home.
"Okay, then you will kill him!" Wang Lixian smiled. He felt that Chen Ling really had some of the problems of the rich people in the city now.
He couldn't understand that many tasks were done by himself.
Chen Ling didn't care what he thought, he just took the pig-killing knife and said, "Yubin, go to Yuqiang's house to find a basin to catch the pig blood."
Chen Yubin quickly ran to the front yard and brought a big basin over.
Place it under the pig's neck.
Then dispersed with everyone.
"Hold it!"
As Chen Ling said, the sharp knife in his hand flashed and plunged into the pig's neck.
After inserting the knife, he shook his hand lightly.
Immediately the white knife went in and the red knife came out.
The bright red pig blood began to flow out along the wound.
At this time, the pig on the door panel was screaming miserably, squealing like a slaughtered pig.
But the young man is strong enough.
It only took four young men to press the pig firmly against the door panel. Wang Lixian and Zhao Dahai didn't even have to do anything.
Until no more blood can be seen coming out of the pig's neck.
“Good guy, this pig doesn’t look that big. It almost has the strength of a wild boar in the mountains. It almost failed to hold it down!”
Yu Bin and his brother Guang Bin gasped. , and the other three young men holding down the pig let go and couldn't help but say.
"What you are saying is that this pig knows that it is being killed. If it can no longer resist with all its strength, that would be abnormal."
Zhao Dahai said with a smile.
Then Wang Lixian and I went to get firewood and boil a large pot of water to remove the pig hair.
Chen Ling himself drove a tractor to load a load of wheat straw.
After boiling water to scald the hair off the pig, use the wheat straw to burn it. Add some water to the burned ash and apply it to the pig.
Skin-on pork like this will taste better.
Actually, this is the way the old people used to deal with the yellow-haired wild boar and the way to deal with the dog after killing it.
The yellow-haired wild boar is a sub-adult wild boar that has not yet reached adulthood and has not messed with the pig skin on its body.
The yellow hair on my body has not faded yet.
This kind of small yellow-haired pig, if you catch it for about three months, even the pig skin will be fragrant.
So I used this method to burn pig hair.
Otherwise, the wild boar’s hair will be too thick and it will be difficult to get rid of it.
The same goes for dogs. There are very few dogs like Liu Guangli in Kinmen Village who died and were skinned.
Most people don’t have that technology.
And most hunters are not so cruel to eat dog meat.
After loading the wheat straw in the wheat field, it only took a while. After Chen Ling returned, everyone helped him finish the job.
The firewood piles were neatly stacked.
Then he idled outside the door holding firecrackers of various sizes.
This is really the Chinese New Year. Every family in the village who has some money in their pockets this year is really willing to spend money to buy cannons.
The adults and the kids were both crazy.
Chen Ling also saw Ruirui and the three of them hanging firecrackers on the trees by the big weir pond, and then threw them into the water.
With Hei Wa and Xiao Jin watching, and the village elders and other children all watching him closely, Chen Ling did not go to spoil their fun.
I was busy in the yard, taking off the pig hair, and started to pile wheat straw on the pig. After piling it tightly, I lit it.
In this way, you can also burn out the fine pig hair that has not faded, and burn out the bad odor. Soon one side was burned out, so I switched to the other side and waited for the straw to be completely burned.
At this time, the aroma of barbecue pork wafted out.
Chen Yuqiang and the others took half a bucket of water and began to wash it on the pigs. Chen Ling and Wang Lixian began to scrape the areas they had washed with knives.
After scraping it clean, the burnt blackness disappeared, revealing the pig skin that had turned golden brown and gave off a faint meaty aroma.
“This is a beautiful treatment! You can use the same method to deal with wild boars to deal with domestic pigs. You only have so much time to spare, but the color is so beautiful, I want to drool just looking at it!”
"What I'm saying is, I'll try it next year too..."
They are not going to kill pigs this year. They just go to the county town to buy a few kilograms of meat for stew.
After Chen Ling inspected the pig, he changed the carving knife and pierced the pig's two front legs with a knife, and then pulled it backwards, and the pig's belly was separated.
"Hey, this meat is good, and the fat is thick! No wonder Fugui specially chooses pigs from the Yongsheng family to buy!"
"Fugui pays a high price. I heard that he will pay six yuan per pound for the whole pig. Money..."
There is a big difference between a whole pig and pork. Like the price of pigs in later generations, if it is a fancy black pig or a Tibetan pig, the price of a whole pig on the truck is even the same as the price of pork. The difference is nearly half.
Because the whole pig includes internal organs, pig head and other parts, and even contains a lot of feces.
Of course we cannot calculate based on the price of pork on the market.
"My family will also raise pigs next year, waiting for the rich and powerful to come to buy them during the Chinese New Year, hehehe."
"Put it down. Usually those who come to get rich in the village want to eat pork, and the price is not low, can you bear it? ”
“Let’s talk about that another time, let’s talk about that another time, hey hey hey…”
While everyone was discussing, Chen Ling also waved to them: "I have prepared a new pork head meat for everyone this year. Wait until tomorrow night to come to me to drink and eat meat.
After paying tribute to the land lord, let’s fire off the salute.”
Tonight we are going to replace the new statues in the Tutu Temple. After replacing the new statues, we will start burning incense and offering offerings every day, regardless of whether it is the first day of the Lunar New Year or not.
It will not stop until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Everyone was extremely excited when they heard this.
They all applauded.
Chen Ling said there is a new way to eat it, it must be delicious.
It has to be worth the wait.
"What about today? Can't you get it done today?" Zhao Dahai was also very greedy and asked quickly.
"I can't finish it today. It needs to be stewed. The other steps have to be done overnight. Let's stew the meat and eat the soup today."
Chen Ling shook his head with a smile, wiped his hands, and wiped some more Smooth knife, continue to cut the meat.
However, as soon as the pork was cut up, Qin Rong came over from the farm on a bicycle. When he came here, he took out his mobile phone: "Fugui, Yue people's phone number."
"Huh?"
Chen Ling was stunned and quickly took the call. Liang Yuemin's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Liang Yuemin said first that he would not rush back until tomorrow, the 29th of the twelfth lunar month.
Then he said that there will be happy events this year.
The leader highly praised their instant noodles and praised Chen Ling several times for doing well in the village.
The reason is that Hong Kong Island returns to China this year.
The leaders above are thinking of uniting mainland actors and Hong Kong actors to co-star in a TV series.
No actor on Hong Kong Island likes her.
To put it bluntly, actors over there are more concerned with remuneration. The remuneration offered by celebration TV dramas in mainland China is definitely not that much.
Just give some symbolically and that’s it, because it’s a political mission.
Then the actors on Hong Kong Island were naturally not very happy.
After the exchange group came, no one expected that after just a trip to Chen Ling's hometown and a visit to Liang Yuemin's instant noodle factory, they would actually change their tune.
Zheng Shaoqiu and the others agreed to star.
As soon as Chen Ling heard what Liang Yuemin said about this TV series, he quickly asked us who the mainland actors were.
As soon as I heard about Mr. Jiao Huang Jiao, I immediately knew what TV series it was about.
"It turns out that "Return of Honor" was filmed in advance. Okay, okay, this is a good thing."
In Chen Ling's memory, this TV set had a related script for a long time, but it was delayed until 2000 Filming didn't start until the end of five years, and in the end it could only be aired to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland.
Now that Hong Kong Island has just returned to China, it is naturally a great thing to do this.
The key is that Chen Ling has a sense of participation.
Liang Yuemin has said that he chooses roles at will, and Heiwa, Xiaojin and others can all get involved.
You can even write a plot specifically for him.
You can open another small branch line.
It can be said that the leaders above appreciate him very much.
“No wonder, no wonder Zheng Shaoqiu and the others suddenly came to see many old actors from Hong Kong. Their relationship with each other was not good, and they didn’t interact with each other in private. I thought that the group trip was just for our village. ...
I didn’t expect that there would be an invitation from the leader later.”
Chen Ling finally understood now, "You don't have to go to the Spring Festival Gala. If you have a chance, you must participate in this kind of TV series that has a sense of participation in historical events." (End of Chapter)
