MTL - Shanwa Small Rich Farmers-Chapter 16 butcher
In a blink of an eye, it was Saturday morning, and Yan Dong was sent away warmly against the dark sky. He was sitting in the main room blowing on the electric heater and waiting for Master Qin to come. A 180-jin black earth pig had already been **** in the courtyard On the stone of the world, today is its end.
It was just dawn at seven o'clock, and Wenxu heard the sound of a tractor outside the door. Looking out along the door opening, there were four men on a walking tractor, all in their forties and early fifties. Although the clothes are not very fashionable, they are all very clean.
Opened the door, Wen Xu greeted enthusiastically: "Mr. Qin?"
The man driving the tractor said: "Mr. Qin, call me Lao Qin, you are Xiao Wen."
"Yes, yes, come in!" Meeting someone, he greeted Lao Qin warmly and enthusiastically to drive the tractor in.
Entering the courtyard, Lao Qin didn’t hesitate to point out the black pig in the courtyard and asked, “Is that it?”
Seeing Wen Xu nodded, he nodded with his three companions, and the three quickly took the rope and a black oilcloth from the car, first spread the oilcloth on the ground, and then put A 'bench' with a width of 50 centimeters, before Wen Xu could react, the black pig had already been knocked down by three people, and was quickly placed on the 'bench'.
Old Qin had already opened the knife bag at this time, picked out a sharp knife from it and began to swing the knife, the sharp knife and sharpening rod in his hand made a clicking sound.
"Xiao Qin, find a basin to catch the pig's blood!" Old Qin said immediately when he saw Wen Xu standing there.
He took a basin from the house and put it under the pig's neck. As soon as he stood up, he saw that the sharp knife in Lao Qin's hand seemed to be pierced into the pig's neck in a flash, and then he saw his hand shaking up and down like this The bright red pig's blood dripped along the wound into the basin below.
At this time, the pig was screaming miserable, but the three men were strong enough, and the three of them pressed the pig firmly on the stool until there was no more blood on the pig's neck. flow out.
"Good guy! Such a big pig has a lot of strength! It almost has the strength of a 300-jin pig." The pig was dead, and the three men holding the pig let go of their hands, and one of them wiped the dirt on his head. Khan said.
The other two took out a pile of straw from the tractor's compartment and began to pile it on the pig. Waiting for the pile to be almost done, even though the straw was just set on fire. Wen Xu looked at the burning straw in amazement, thought for a while and thought that this might be a method of singeing fresh pig hairs, so he stood and watched curiously.
Old Qin looked at his companion who burned the pig hair and asked Wen Xu: "The pig's head can't be removed, if so, how do you want to remove it?"
"Unload, even the neck meat, take the pig's head, and see how much you can get," Wen Xu said.
Hearing that Wen Xu asked him to take the whole pig's head away, Lao Qin looked at Wen Xu and asked, "You don't want the pig's head?"
"Don't!" Wen Xu doesn't like to eat pig heads, and even less interested in pig brains. Wen Xu's interest in eating pigs is in the meat and ribs.
"Then you can give forty," Lao Qin said.
A live pig head, even if you don’t take care of it now, the price is enough. Seeing how this catty can be bought in the market, it takes seventy or eighty yuan to buy it. Lao Qin automatically lowered the price by sixty.
"Okay!" Wen Xu agreed to the price without thinking too much after hearing it.
After one side was burnt, switch to the other side and wait for the straw to burn. Suddenly, there was a smell of roasted pork. At this time, one person took a basin of water and started to pour it on the pig. As the knife scraped off, the originally burnt black skin disappeared, revealing the pork skin that had been scorched into a light golden yellow and exuded the smell of meat. Soon the whole pig was scraped clean, and the light golden roasted skin of the whole pig was almost in the same tone, which showed how authentic the cooking method was.
After checking the pig, Lao Qin took the knife out of his knife bag again, and stabbed it in front of the pig's two front legs, and then along the back, the pig's belly was separated.
"Hey! What a pig!"
As soon as they saw the meat on the pig, the pig butchers around immediately praised it: "I don't know how many years I haven't seen such a good pig!"
"Young man, your pig is eaten by yourself, how many catties are given to me!"
"Yes! I'll take a few catties too"
Wen Xu hurriedly said: "It's not that I don't want this pork to be expensive. The live pig was twenty-one catties when I bought it!"
Hiss! Hearing the twenty-one-jin live pig, even Lao Qin was taken aback for a moment.
"So expensive!"
The man who spoke just now replied immediately.
"Do you know the news that the pigs are forced to dive into the water every day? The price of the pigs is almost the same. Generally, if you want to eat it, you may not be able to eat it. My pig is much better than their gimmick pork. " Wen Xu said.
Now the purchase price of live pigs in the market is 8 yuan a catty, and if I quote 20 yuan here, that is more than double. Yes, these people are a bit reluctant.
Wen Xu quoted a price of 21 catties, and the atmosphere in the yard became a bit dull. The internal organs were taken out one by one into the basin. Gave it to Lao Qin.
Started to cut the meat, Lao Qin slashed the meat on the hind leg with the knife, nodded immediately and said: "This meat is indeed worth twenty-one catties, look at the fat in the middle of the meat fiber"
Wen Xu had never heard of this thing before, so he stretched his head and looked at it together. I saw Lao Qin's knife picking up a piece of lean meat, pointing to the sun, motioning everyone to look at the little lean meat he separated.
Others nodded their heads, but Wen Xu didn't know anything about it, except that there were dots of oily light between the fibers of the lean meat, shining brightly under the sunlight.
"indeed!"
"The strips of lean meat are very thin and filled with fat, this meat is really worth the price!"
In this way, after the meat was divided, each of these people took another two catties of meat away. Now this group of people not only didn't make any money from killing pigs, but each posted dozens of yuan to Wen Xu, and it was like this He also happily left with the meat, the pig's head and the pig's lungs.
Wen Xu didn't expect that pigs are slaughtered in this way now, and the pig's hair is burned directly, and the whole process takes only an hour without boiling water.
There are guests coming today, Wen Xu has to prepare food here, pork is easy to wash, and Wen Xu has to do it himself for pig intestines, pork belly and so on.
No one knows what's inside the pork belly and intestines, right? It's delicious to eat, but it's not so simple to wash it with water. He is fully armed, sunglasses are to prevent himself from being disgusted when he sees pig poop, a mask sprinkled with essential oils is to prevent himself from vomiting if he smells it, and long-sleeved gloves are naturally to prevent direct contact with dirt.
First, wash off the filth in the intestines, bury the filth in the flower bed, and then warmly pour cornmeal into the intestines and rub vigorously at the same time as fertilizer. This is the first splash of cornmeal, and then two times of flour , so that after a few trips, we can ensure that the whole intestines and stomachs have no peculiar smell when eating, and the things that come into the mouth can't be too fine.
Just after washing the corn crumbs in his intestines, the mobile phone in the yard rang, and he took off his gloves. Wen Xu saw that it was Wei Yuanshan calling.
"Boss" answered the phone with a warm smile: "Have you come yet?"
"We've arrived, but we don't know which family you are?" Wei Yuanshan's voice came, and at the same time there was a sound of a horn.
As soon as she heard the sound of the horn, Wen Xu went directly to the door, opened it forcefully, and saw Wei Yuanshan's brown Ankewei at the fork.
"Come in directly, you didn't go wrong!" I stood at the door, and Wen Xu said something directly to the phone and raised his hand. Zhao Xiaoyue, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, had already noticed that Wen Xu immediately waved like a child. hand.
Ankewei on the side of the road quickly turned around and drove into the yard.
"Puppy, daddy, puppy!" Wei Yuanshan's little girl hadn't gotten out of the car, she just stared blankly at Dong Liang who was following Wen Xu.
At this time, no one paid attention to the little girl. Wei Yuanshan and his wife were busy greeting Wen Xu, while Zhao Xiaoyue turned her head and looked at the small courtyard like a curious baby.
"It's hard to find here." Wei Yuanshan said, "How can you rent such a small courtyard! But the ground is a bit remote, but the small courtyard is good, lively, and much better than in the community."
Wei Yuanshan's wife's surname is Lu, and her first name is Lu Wei. Wen Xu has always been called Sister Lu, and she is an accountant in a medium-sized company.
"Tian Yuan's scenery, Chang Wei wants to have such a small courtyard in his heart," Lu Wei said.
Wen Xu said: "It's not easy to buy the small courtyard here, you can only rent it." He greeted Zhao Xiaoyue and went into the house with him to get a stool, and everyone sat under the sun to bask in the sun. There is no air conditioner in the main room and it is colder than outside .
As soon as she entered the door, Zhao Xiaoyue saw a piece of pork on the big table in the main room. The meat from the whole pig was piled up on the table like a hill, which made Zhao Xiaoyue feel very surprised: "Master, you are preparing for the New Year What, so much meat!"
Wen Xu didn't answer, but asked first: "Can you cook there?"
"Yes, but rarely!"
"Then when you go back, I will bring you a dozen catties of pork ribs or something. When you go back, you will eat them stewed. Anyway, you can throw them in the refrigerator and eat them for many days," Wen Wen said.
Zhao Xiaoyue said immediately after hearing this: "Master, I don't have such a high salary as you. I don't have a refrigerator where I live. It's just a place to sleep. Cooking is an induction cooker."
Wen Xu signaled Zhao Xiaoyue to move one, and walked out with one in one hand and two in the other hand: "Then you will be at a loss!"
After going out, Wen Xu saw that Wei Yuanshan had already stood beside the big wooden basin, looking at the intestines in the basin curiously. Mi Yuan's Dong Liang also looked at the mother and daughter with a pair of puppy eyes.
After these days of feeding, Dongliang is no longer the skinny dog he once was. Not only has he grown flesh on his body, but he has also returned to the "baby fat" state of a dog. Under the sun, there is a faint glow, life is better, and Dongliang's temperament is immediately different now.
"Dongliang, be more enthusiastic!" Seeing that the little girl was so interested in Dongliang, Wen Xu greeted Dongliang.
As soon as Dongliang heard Wen Xu's words, his little tail wagged immediately. Dongliang's dog's tail was not rolled up or dragged on the ground, but straight. The hair on the tail did not explode, making the tail look very thin And it is slightly shorter than the average dog.
As soon as Dong Liang reacted, the little girl became even happier. She got rid of Lu Wei's hand and wanted to touch the dog.
"Don't touch, I'll bite you!" Lu Wei was startled and immediately reached out and grabbed her daughter.
The little girl stopped immediately after being told by her mother, and looked at Wen Nu expectantly.
"Sister Lu, don't worry, the dog was vaccinated just now, it's quite clean, the fur on its body looks like this, it's not really dirty!" Wen Xu said, put down the chair in his hand, walked over and hugged Dongliang In front of the little girl, she touched it with her small hand: "It's called Dongliang, what about you?"
"My name is Wei Xuan!" the little girl said nonchalantly, not looking at Wen Xu at all, but staring straight at Dongliang.
Dongliang is very cooperative today, unlike the previous ignorance of Yan Dong, he seems to hit it off with the little girl.
"The intestines have been washed?" Wei Yuanshan asked.
Wen Xu saw that Dongliang and the mother and daughter had made a good start, and then walked to the side of the basin: "I just rubbed it with corn flour once, and then washed it with flour twice, and it will be done in half an hour."
Wei Yuanshan said: "Let me do it" and began to roll up his sleeves while speaking.
"Can you do it? If you haven't washed it, don't do this job. We'll eat this later. If it smells bad after frying, then..." Wen Nuan was a little worried.
Wei Yuanshan said: "Don't worry, you are still wearing crotch pants when I wash this thing!"
"That's fine, you wash this, I'll kill a chicken!" Seeing that someone was doing this job, Wen Xu took off his gloves and handed them to Wei Yuanshan, ready to go to the chicken coop to catch a chicken and kill it.
Wei Yuanshan said: "Just a few people today, don't do too much, you won't eat much."
"Not much, and I can't make delicate ones here, just three or four rough vegetables, the kind that are served in a bowl," Wen Xu said with a smile.
Wen Xu killed the chicken, Zhao Xiaoyue helped boil the water, Lu Wei and her daughter played with Dong Liang, Wei Yuanshan washed the intestines, everyone was busy with their own work, and when it was almost eleven o'clock, Yan Dong came back.
"Open the door, open the door!" As soon as the guy reached the door, he honked the horn and raised his voice.
Wen Xu opened the door: "Don't drive in, put the car outside the door first, did you bring the meat back?"
Yan Dong nodded to Wen Xu, turned off the ignition, opened the car door, and took out a piece of fresh mutton that weighed three to two catties from the back.
After taking the mutton, he said warmly, "Go and blanch the chicken feathers for me, I'll go cook."
Just like that, Yan Dong and Zhao Xiaoyue started to pluck chicken feathers, while Wen Xu started cooking. At this time, Lu Wei found that Dong Liang was a well-behaved dog, so she felt relieved to let her daughter play with Dong Liang, and she came to help Wen Xu.
