For a weakling like Wu Renzhong who could only talk a lot, Zhou Zhi didn't bother to answer him. There was still a lot of work ahead.
"Elbow, are you ready to kill?" The commotion in the yard just now scared Mai Xiaomiao and hid behind a pillar. When the big pig stopped snoring, she found herself nervously grabbing the black dragon's neck. .
Heilong's spirituality is really incredible, and he let her catch her quietly without saying a word. This made Mai Xiaomiao feel embarrassed, so she quickly let go and carefully rubbed Heilong.
It's amazing, she's not afraid of the black dragon anymore.
"The killing is over, but there are more things to do next." Zhou Zhi said.
"What are you collecting the blood for?" Mai Xiaomiao led Heilong over and looked around curiously: "This pig is really big."
"This is called Xuewang, and it's delicious." Zhou Zhi Said: "It is an indispensable dish at the pig-killing banquet."
"Our Yi family will make blood sausage and eat it slowly." Gillette Abi Said: "After brewing the blood sausage, the leftovers will be used to make pig blood soup."
"Eh? I don't know how to do this. I will learn how to do it when the time comes."
The next step is Make a hole in the black pig's hind leg joint, pump air into it until the pig is swollen and round, and then pour boiling hot water on the big black pig.
Lao Chiri gave everyone a piece of tin from a can of luncheon meat: "The elbow even asked me what I would do with it. Wouldn't it come in handy again?"
Lao Bi had to be convinced by this thoughtfulness. Mo's wisdom. Zhou Zhi often buys canned luncheon meat for his children to cook. Every time Lao Chiri would cut open the canned luncheon meat and flatten it to store it. Zhouzhi didn't understand the use of keeping these things.
After the fruit trees were planted, in order to prevent chickens from climbing on the trees, Lao Chiri cut out iron strips from cans and tied them with threads to hang them on the trees. These iron strips would rotate with the wind and reflect sunlight. Birds are afraid of this flash, so they won't fly up trees to mess with it.
Now the can skin has become a tool for shaving the black pig after scalding the pores.
The pig is not small, but fortunately there are many people helping now. After a while, everyone scraped the big black pig into a big white pig.
This time, Lao Chiri carefully collected the pig hair again. He didn't know what occasion it would be when he would use it next time.
Wu Renzhong said with a smile: "After doing this, except for the head, the big pig still looks like it has thin skin and tender meat!"
The next step is to untie the pig. Lao Chiri will use the knife to Passed it to Zhou Zhi: "Elbow, are you coming?"
"Let me give it a try." Zhou Zhi took the knife: "Grandpa, please give me some advice."
The general process of disemboweling a pig is to first disembowel the pig, use a large basin to collect the pig's water, and first remove the diaphragm. Under the membrane, take the pig liver, pig heart, and finally pig lungs.
After the cavity is removed, the meat is cut. First remove the head, then use a hatchet to split the big pig into two halves along the spine, and then break down the various parts.
First take the suet, then add the head, five ribs, limbs, rear buttocks, remove the ribs, and take the back willow.
Because there was no more blood, Mai Xiaomiao didn’t seem so scared anymore, but instead watched with great interest.
This pig is very old. The meat yield rate should be less than 70%. There are two full dustpans.
“It’s quite neat!” Lao Chiri admired Zhou Zhi very much: “As expected of a pig-raising county!”
This compliment had no direct connection, and Zhou Zhi thought of that boy Wei Fei. This boy had been pampered by his parents and sister since he was a child. Not all people from major pig-raising counties can untie pigs, and there are also cases where a broom fell to the ground and they were too lazy to step over to help him. Up variety. But this does not prove that Wei Fei is lazy. Now he has gone crazy drawing drawings, forgetting sleep and food, and earning several thousand a month.
Everyone says that the old Wei family has good feng shui in the ancestral tombs in Bijia Mountain, and they have both sons and daughters. Wei Yi and Wei Fei both received scholarships and worked part-time in college, and have since entered college. The kind of kid who doesn't want a penny from home and just sends money home.
Now my eldest sister is working abroad. Some say she works for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, some say she works for Xinhua News Agency, and some say she works for a big British law firm. There is no consensus, but in short she is very good. .
However, I couldn't explain these to Lao Chiri in detail. Zhou Zhi wiped the sweat from his forehead with his arm and said with a shy smile: "I wasn't tired just tying the pigs, and I even sweated when I untied the pigs. I was just afraid." I’m not familiar with it, sir, but I still pass.”
"It's almost the same as the Muxia Laha exam." Lao Chiri laughed: "Seventy points is considered a good one."
This is a joke about Zhou Zhi's home visit. Muxia Laha is the third child soaked in wolf urine. Belongs to the naughty and mischievous type in school, academic performance She and Ziqi Aguo are good girls. During the home visit, Mu Xia Laha's father asked Zhou Zhi how Mu Xia Laha was doing in school. Zhou Zhi said that Mu Xia Laha could consider attending a sports school in the future. If a physical education student can score 70 in the exam, he or she is regarded as a top performer.
Then Muxia Laha’s father was very happy and bragging to everyone. Teacher Zhou even said that our third child was the best in school.
But strangely enough, Muxia Laha's studies have really improved since then.
This has become a famous joke in the village. As soon as Lao Chiri said it, everyone was happy.
The next people will be divided into three waves. One wave is responsible for cooking dinner, one wave is responsible for curing the meat, and the other wave is responsible for stuffing blood sausage.
The blood sausage needs to be washed out first. The blood sausage of the Yi people actually tastes good, but like all large intestine products, not everyone can accept it.
Washing the internal organs is not something ordinary people can bear, and this has become the job of Lao Chiri and Zhou Zhi.
The rest of the meat will be cut into pieces to make crispy meat, minced meat stuffing to make croquettes, and all the fat and thin parts will be marinated to make pot meat.
The butt meat of this pig is also thick and fat, and the ham is too high to be made. If she were on the mountain where her family lives in Gillette, she would dare to do it. In Lianhe Township, it feels like she would have to shave off part of the lean meat. Make the remaining meat together and finish the work.
Mai Xiaomiao looked at Gillette Abi, who was commanding calmly and methodically: "My aunt is a master at handling concurrent tasks."
"Every capable Chinese housewife is." Zhou Zhi turned his intestines over and took out the flour and Wash with soda and rinse with water: "Every New Year is a big job."
"The New Year of the Yi people is coming soon." Lao Chiri said: "I have agreed with you first. You are not allowed to run away this time. You and Xiaomiao will stay here with us!"
"Okay!" Mai Xiaomiao didn't even ask what the Yi year was or when it was, so she agreed heartlessly.
The preparation of blood sausage is different for each ethnic group. The Yi people’s method uses steamed glutinous rice and tofu.
Put these two things in a basin, remove the excess blood from the fixed Xuewang, scoop the remaining blood tofu into the basin, add salt, spices, chili powder, Sichuan pepper powder, and scrape from the wood ginger sticks Take some powder, add some minced meat strips, mix well, pour it into the pig's large intestine, tie it into sections with straw and dry it.
This method may cause problems in Jiachuan. If the water is not removed, the tofu will become sour and the meat will smell.
But it is fine in Lianhe Township. The meat dries very quickly by hanging it outside and can be smoked very quickly.
However, there are advantages and disadvantages. If you make bacon, it will be overdried and burned, so it must be stored in a jar. (End of this chapter)
