Rebirth of farming for a living

Seeing the mother-in-law hurriedly chase her away, Li Qiuyan smiled happily, and Cui Zeyu had no choice but to tell the boy: "Don't follow me. If you need help, go and help."

The boy agreed and went. He was also a child of a farmer, so he was no stranger to this scene.

Not long after, the water in the kitchen was almost boiling, and the butcher and Lao Li Tou also came to the backyard.

Looking at the group of men, Butcher Li couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "The old man's population is also booming."

Old Li Tou was very happy. He had four boys in his group. They used to worry about every meal, but they were always in trouble. Fortunately, the Yang family knew how to calculate, and the children grew up slowly one by one, and now they are living a good life. not bad.

Old Li Tou said: "The water is about to boil, let's catch the pigs."

Butcher Li, Li Xiang, East, West, North, South, Li Mu, and Li Lin jumped into the pig pen, and even Cui Zeyu's servant jumped in together.

Because she was afraid that the pigs would resist, Yang asked Li Qiuyan to take a few young ones to one side.The mother-in-law also hugged Cui Qiong.

However, there is strength in numbers, and before long, the three pigs were tied tightly.

A few people lifted the two heads out first and placed them on the shelf that had been set up before. There was a thick layer of soil underneath to prevent the ground from being dirty when the pigs were killed.

The pig was tied up, so there was no danger, and a few younger ones slowly got closer.

At this time, the water was boiled. Mrs. Yang came over and called some of her children and grandchildren, and everyone went to help carry water in a big basin.

Butcher Li rubbed the sharpened knife twice on the whetstone, and then pointed it at the tied pig. When he started, Li Qiuyan subconsciously closed his eyes. From the corner of his eye, he saw his mother-in-law covering her eyes too. Cui Qiong's eyes.

Soon the pig's braying stopped, and Li Qiuyan opened his eyes again.

The originally happy pig had stopped moving, and the large wooden basin next to it was filled with most of the blood.

In order to prevent the pig's blood from coagulating, Yang sprinkled salt into it and directed Zhang and Fang to add a small amount of water to the pig's blood basin.

As for Mrs. Huang, Mrs. Yang was afraid of surprising her and did not let her come into the backyard.

Li Mu and Li Lin each took a long sorghum stalk and kept stirring it according to Yang's arrangement.

Li Qiuyan was still a little confused, but the woman smiled and explained to Cui Qiong that the pig blood steamed in this way would be more tender.

It's rare that Cui Qiong is really not afraid. Awang, Shitou and Ah Cai are also very busy, running back and forth to watch.

Old Li Tou and Li Xiangdong and others poured boiling water on the slaughtered pigs. Seeing that the pigs were almost scalded, butcher Li took a scraper and kept shaving them clean.

When the pig was almost scraped, Butcher Li quickly opened the pig's belly, took out the internal organs and put them aside. He then placed the naked pig on the table that had been prepared and roughly divided it.

It was also the first time for Cui Zeyu to watch a pig being slaughtered, and he watched with relish.

Li Qiuyan's heart moved.

Soon, Butcher Li was about to kill the second pig, so Li Qiuyan called Old Li Tou.

"Master, have we sold all three pigs?"

"Sell them all. Kill two of them. If you don't want to kill the other one, Butcher Li will take it away." Old Li Tou was very happy, killing the pigs and dividing the meat for the New Year. Who wouldn't be happy? The old woman didn't even scold herself today.

Li Qiuyan hesitated and said, "Sir, why don't you discuss it with Butcher Li and kill that one too?"

Lao Li was startled and then laughed: "Are you afraid that there is not enough meat to eat? It's okay, then let's sell less and keep more."

Li Qiuyan shook his head: "No, I want to buy one and give it to the Cui family."

Old Li Tou was a little hesitant: "Here, let's make an agreement with Butcher Li. Besides, you want to give such a heavy gift? Can you save more meat?"

Li Qiuyan held his forehead, yes, one pig was a bit much, but in terms of money, giving such a gift to the Cui family was not too heavy.

The two of them murmured incessantly, and Yang came over and listened.

"You go and ask. If Butcher Li doesn't have any objections, we'll kill him too." Yang was very decisive, but she was afraid of making a good deal with Butcher Li. If she couldn't get the pigs, she wouldn't be able to sell them. .

Just looking at the gifts brought by the Cui family today, it doesn't matter if you give someone a pig.Besides, if it weren't for the Cui family, their own business wouldn't be running so smoothly, Yang knew it in her heart.

Seeing Yang's decision, Old Li Tou, although still a little distressed, did not hesitate and went to find Butcher Li.

Li Qiuyan glanced at Yang with gratitude, and Yang turned around and left proudly. What a big deal, he didn't know who to look for, and the old man didn't belong to the family.

While they were talking here, they didn’t stop killing the pigs there. When Old Li went to find Butcher Li, Butcher Li was already shaving the second pig.

Cui Qiong looked surprised, and like Li Lin, she took a sorghum stalk and stirred the pig's blood. The mother-in-law was at a loss behind, and Cui Zeyu also watched with interest.

Li Qiuyan laughed again. He really liked watching pigs being killed. The little girl was not afraid.
