Chapter 1916 Killing Pigs
The Yi people have a legend about the "Tiger Wife". It is said that a bride went to the forest to relieve herself on the way, but was eaten by a tiger. Then the tiger turned into the bride and got married. Young man's house.
The young man had a younger sister in his family. One time when his younger sister saw a pheasant, she called her sister-in-law to look at it: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, look at how beautiful the pheasant is!"
The sister-in-law said: "The pheasant is not beautiful, sister-in-law. It would look better if she turned into a tiger!"
At night, the younger sister told her brother this, and he went to cut down a lot of bamboo and surrounded the house.
The tiger asked him what he wanted to do. He said that the fence at home was broken and he needed to repair it.
After the fence was repaired, the young man killed the sheep again, bought wine, and made the tiger drunk, finally revealing his prototype.
So the tiger was tied to a tree and burned to death.
There are many versions of this legend, but it is very popular among the Yi people, which has led to many more customs in weddings. For example, it is unlucky for a bride to go to the toilet on the way to marry her, and the bride must fast one day in advance and not show her original shape after being hungry for a day. , indicating that the bride is not a tiger.
Lao Chiri was making fun of the legend that Zhou Zhi carried his little wife on his back.
"Xiao Miao is coming down soon." Zhou Zhi persuaded, "I still need to give out sweets to my brothers and sisters."
Mai Xiaomiao blurted out just now, but when Zhou Zhi actually carried her on his back, she was so shy that she buried her face in it. He was acting like an ostrich under Zhou Zhi's shoulders. When he heard Zhou Zhi calling him, he raised his head and found that many people were looking at her. He couldn't help but struggle down quickly, his face flushed.
“Your name is Xiaomiao?” Gilliam Abi pulled Mai Xiaomiao in front of him and looked at him: “What a beautiful little girl, why don’t you stay in Shudu and come to us!”
< br>"This is Aunt Gillette." Zhou Zhi said next to her. Mai Xiaomiao introduced: "This is Uncle Tu, and this is Grandpa Chiri. He is the one who raised the black dragon. The children introduced them while handing out things. Who has the cleanest hands?!"
Countless pairs of little hands He raised it in front of Zhou Zhi and Mai Xiaomiao.
This time Zhou Zhi has prepared snack packs for everyone, which are full of delicious snacks such as snow rice cakes, rice krispie treats, Shaqima, beef jerky, candies, and jelly, which are not easy to eat in the countryside. The main purpose is to provide a sense of novelty.
Leave the things to Mai Xiaomiao. When she was handing them out, she introduced them attentively. Not only did she introduce the names, but also some interesting things that happened to the children, the big advantages and small shortcomings of each one. Anyway, all of them scored ninety-five or six, but there was absolutely no perfect score.
Mai Xiaomiao discovered that these children liked Zhou Zhi for a reason. He had a unique understanding of each child and knew how to motivate them positively.
After the children were sent away, the things on the car over there were almost unloaded. What made Abby Gilliam most happy were a dozen large and small coarse porcelain jars.
The big one can hold thirty kilograms, and the small one can hold five kilograms. Each one has black paper and ash inside. Abby Gilliam said: "This jar must have been picked with an elbow."
"Why?" Mai Xiaomiao felt amazing.
“Because there is black paper ash in the jar, it means that it has been lit and washed with water to ensure that the jar picked out does not leak.” Gilliam Abi said with certainty: “I’m afraid Renzhong doesn’t know how to do this. , I will definitely meet you."
"That's it, I thought my aunt had no clue." "There is someone else who can predict the future." Zhou Zhi said with a smile, "Grandpa Chiri is the great Bimo. Then I will slowly tell you about his skills. Auntie, we kill the pigs in the winter months. It is a month early now. Should we raise the pigs again?”
“ Isn’t Renzhong greedy? In fact, we are also Dongyue.” Tu Liangzhi said: “In addition, your aunt said that another batch of piglets came out, and there was not enough room. They were killed to make room.”
This is a good reason. Zhou Zhi asked: "Then when will you kill?"
"If you are not afraid of being tired, today is a lucky day. How about letting one go first today?" Lao Chiri looked at the sky : "It's too late."
Zhou Zhi thought of Mai on the way Xiao Miao threw an apple to the red panda, so he asked tentatively: "Xiao Miao, the pigs will be screaming a little bit miserably in a while. In order not to affect your appetite, let A Guo take you for a walk in the village?"
"No need. "I haven't seen a pig being killed. Are you going to kill a pig?" Mai Xiaomiao was always excited.
Okay, maybe it's a bit of a misunderstanding. So Zhou Zhi waved to Heilong. This was a good opportunity to enhance the relationship: "Heilong, you will guard Xiaomiao in a while!"
Black Dragon obediently came to Mai Xiaomiao and lay down, this time without the mischievous sneaky look in his eyes like before.
The next step is to boil water in a large pot. Lao Chiri prepares racks, hooks, and knives. Tu Liangzhi takes Zhou Zhi and Wu Renzhong to drag pigs into the pig pen.
Gilead Abi raises Yanan black pigs, which are actually improved free-range mountain pigs.
Yanan black pig sows have more than seven pairs of buttons, accounting for nearly 80% of the sows. They are a breed with strong fertility and reproductive capabilities.
After castration, they are raised in captivity and fed enough food. They can grow to a very large size. Farmers generally use the "hanging frame" stage fattening method. Generally, a cage of thirty pounds can reach the height in four months. One hundred and eighty pounds, growing more than a pound a day.
Generally, 80 kilograms of pigs can be sold in a breeding farm, but now Lianhe Township is like Jiachuan County just after the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. People are still keen on raising big fat pigs, and these are the ones raised by Gillette Abi. All weigh more than 200 kilograms. No wonder they say the pig pen is crowded.
Originally, the thoughtful arrangement was that Gillette Abby was mainly responsible for the pig farm and made money by selling pig babies. However, Gillette Abby thought that since there were pig babies, his original pig pen next to the grain station was empty. It's a pity, but it turns out that pigs are also raised in pig farms, and they are also raised here.
A big fat pig weighing more than 200 kilograms is not easy to subdue. By the time they tied the struggling big fat pig to the carriage, everyone was so tired that they were sweating profusely. Wu Renzhong even collapsed on the ground. , the sound was muted, and I felt worse than the black pig on the carriage.
The next thing will be much easier to handle. Zhou Zhi grabbed the handlebar of the frame truck and the big black pig lay down. Lao Chiri read a few verses and struck the big pig with a knife like lightning. A blood arrow spurted out from his throat and fell into the salt water basin that Tu Liangzhi dragged over.
Then Zhou Zhi slowly lifted the handlebars of the rack, and the big pig lay down, with his head on his buttocks, grunting, as if he didn't even know that his blood was gushing out, and he waited until he noticed it It was too late, I just kicked hard a few times and stopped moving.
Zhou Zhi couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Lao Chiri: "After watching pigs being killed for so many years, this is the most efficient time I have ever seen. Grandpa Chiri, this skill is so good!"
"Oh, kill it!" Got a pig?" A surprised voice sounded at the door, but it was the trio from the Institute of Agricultural Sciences who came over, "Oh, what happened to Renzhong?"
Liu Hongtao greets everyone.
"This pig is too strong. Huh...huh..." Wu Renzhong looked at Zhou Zhi and said bitterly: "Why isn't he tired?"
