Weaving lanterns does not require great skills, as long as you know a little bit about bamboo weaving.
Zhou Ziwen is editing a big lantern, so he just needs to ensure the roundness.
With his third-level bamboo weaving skills, there is no problem at all.
In just a moment, eight large round lanterns were made.
“Brother Zhou, is Zhaodi on your side?”
At this time, Zhou Chaoyang's voice sounded outside.
Zhou Chaoyang opened the door and walked in without opening the door.
“We’re chatting inside!”
Zhou Ziwen raised his head and glanced at him, then lowered his head and started busy.
"Hey, Brother Zhou, did you make the lanterns? Why do you make so many?" Zhou Chaoyang glanced at the several large lanterns placed aside, feeling a little puzzled.
"You can take two lanterns back later and stick the red paper on them yourself. Do you have red paper over there?" Zhou Ziwen asked.
"Yes! Zhaodi and I went to the county town to buy some last time." Zhou Chaoyang nodded repeatedly, with a smile on his face.
He gave a thumbs up and said the nice words as if they were free of money, "Brother Zhou, you take too good care of your younger brother. You have to say that you will be my eldest brother from now on."
" You have to work hard to be the eldest brother!" Zhou Ziwen glanced at him.
Zhou Chaoyang smiled and wisely changed the subject, "By the way, Brother Zhou, have you heard that the New Year pig is going to be killed in the village, and the villagers are waiting to share the meat!"
"Then can we get a share of meat?" Zhou Ziwen became interested upon hearing this.
He really didn’t know about this, and even if they killed the pigs, they might not be able to get much. Who do you call them educated youths?
"We will definitely get a share of the meat. We are also part of Dabazi Village, but we just can't share much. After all, we have only been here for a short time." Zhou Chaoyang spread his hands.
“That’s true.” Zhou Ziwen nodded with understanding.
"Brother Zhou, what are you nodding to? You are different from us. I am sure that you will get a lot of meat, more than those native villagers." Zhou Chaoyang said.
"It doesn't matter how much meat you share, I'm not short of meat anyway."
Zhou Ziwen smiled lightly.
To be honest, he really doesn't care about this, all he cares about is his attitude.
After all, he has contributed to the village, and he has made contributions to the village.
It would be sad if there was less meat for him.
"Brother Ziwen, what are you talking about about dividing the pork?"
At this moment, several girls who were chatting in the room also heard the noise and ran out.
"Chaoyang said that the village will kill the New Year pig today and the meat will be divided later." Zhou Ziwen explained.
“Really?” Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying’s eyes lit up.
"Of course it's true. I heard that some villagers went to the production team to guard them, just to get a piece of good meat." Zhou Chaoyang explained.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go and guard, lest all the good meat is taken away by others." Shen Zhaodi said angrily.
"Yes, if we go late, we won't be able to share the good meat." Chen Qiaoyi also said hurriedly.
"Let's go quickly, I'm just here to call you." Zhou Chaoyang said.
He was out wandering just now and happened to hear the news from an aunt.
Otherwise, they may not know it yet!
After all, there are good and bad meats, and everyone wants to share the good meat first. If they arrive late, they won't be able to share the good meat.
"Let's go then! Let's go and see how the New Year pig is killed." Zhou Ziwen stood up and said with some curiosity.
With his cooking skills, although he knows how to kill pigs, he has never seen it with his own eyes.
Taking this opportunity today, he also wanted to join in the fun.
As soon as he left, Zhou Ziwen took the Chen sisters and rushed to the production team with Zhou Chaoyang and Shen Zhaodi.
On the way to the production team, they met some villagers who also got the news.
Everyone greeted each other a few words, and then rushed to the production team laughing together. "Aunt Li, does our village kill the New Year pig every year?"
On the way to the production team, Zhou Ziwen asked curiously.
"Yes, we kill them every year. Last year we killed five whole pigs, and the family can share several kilograms!" Aunt Li said with a smile.
"So many!" After hearing this, Zhou Ziwen also had a smile on his face.
Three pigs are a lot, especially the pigs in the production team. They eat pure natural pig grass every day, sometimes with a little wheat bran added.
The meat of pigs fed with this kind of pure natural pollution-free grain and pig grass tastes delicious.
However, one disadvantage is that pigs fed with grain and pig grass do not grow as fast as pigs fed with feed.
Generally speaking, the pigs in the production team rarely weigh more than 200 kilograms.
Those weighing more than 180 kilograms can be called big fat pigs.
Anyone weighing more than 160 kilograms is considered qualified.
Under normal circumstances, everyone will raise pigs to more than 180 pounds.
After all, in this era, households rarely eat meat.
Not everyone is like Zhou Ziwen, who is not short of money and has the means to get game.
Throughout the year, eating meat once a month is considered good.
"By the way, I heard that some production teams kill New Year pigs and eat them together. Why don't we eat them together?"
Zhou Ziwen was a little curious.
If everyone eats together, it will be a flowing table, and the scene will be very lively.
"Hey, we did it twice before, but we stopped doing it later. We divided the meat and went home to eat, so everyone felt more comfortable." Aunt Li waved her hand. Although she didn't say the specific reason, she thought it wasn't a good thing. .
Seeing this, Zhou Ziwen didn't ask any more questions and changed the subject wisely.
Joking all the way, they soon came to the production team.
A lot of people have gathered in the grain drying field of the production team.
At the edge of the grain drying field, a dozen men were busy killing pigs.
You can see at the scene that several of the pigs have been killed and are being shaved.
Some were placed on a large chopping board, and someone skillfully divided the meat.
Some pigs were howling wildly, but they were hit with white knives and red knives. After a few struggles, they ran out of energy.
“It’s so lively, it turns out that killing a pig looks like this!” Chen Qiaoyi stood on tiptoe and looked at a pig being killed.
"Brother Zhou, where do you think we will choose the meat later?" Zhou Chaoyang asked while looking up.
“We have no shortage of meat to eat, so don’t choose fat meat later.”
Hearing this, both the Chen sisters and Zhou Chaoyang nodded.
To be honest, because they often eat meat, fat meat has little appeal to them now.
Even Zhou Chaoyang and Shen Zhaodi don't care about the little money.
"Then what should we choose?" Everyone looked at Zhou Ziwen, as if he made the decision.
"Let's do this. The three of us will choose pork ribs, and you two will choose pork belly. If there is no pork belly, you can choose leaner meat."
Zhou Ziwen said.
“Okay, let’s choose pork ribs. I haven’t eaten pork ribs for a long time.”
Hearing Zhou Ziwen’s arrangement, Chen Qiaoyi was the first to raise his hand in agreement.
“I just happen to have some radishes at home. I’ll eat radish stewed pork ribs in two days.” Chen Shiying also said with a smile.
"Well, let's choose pork belly." Zhou Chaoyang and Shen Zhaodi looked at each other and nodded at the same time. (End of chapter)
