"I don't know if I can get pork suet! My family has been short of oil for a long time! Now I eat potatoes every day, and there is no oil or water in my mouth!"
"Then who can say for sure? Does anyone know whether we will divide the meat this year by drawing lots or by ranking according to work points?"
"It should be drawn by lots. Whoever gets the first one will be first. Everyone depends on luck. If you don't get good meat, you can't blame others."
"Yes, Zhuzi is right. I heard from the captain that we can't be arranged by work points. Food and other things are all the same. There is no difference between who comes first and who comes last. But this portion of meat is different! He said it's fair this way!"
"The captain is still awesome, he is so enlightened!" Someone gave a thumbs up and flattered the captain.
Some people are not happy. After all, some families have a large population and earn a lot of work points. They are ranked first in the food distribution, but they are not arranged in the front when the meat is distributed.
But it’s useless not to be happy, most people agree!
While everyone was chatting, the pig-killer had already begun the scalding and shaving process.
Uncle Mancang first directed everyone to give the two pigs a 360-degree shower, so as to ensure that the whole body of the pigs was scalded, so that they could have a "scrubbing bath"~
Drizzle and scrape at the same time.
The two pigs also took the only clean bath in their lives.
Don't underestimate pig shaving. This is a delicate job. The pig must be shaved from head to tail, top to bottom, and every corner.
In short, the purpose is not to leave a single pig hair, so that the white pig skin of these two big black pigs can be exposed, which is called a gleaming tile!
After completing this step, the large pots of hot water that Mother Yang had organized to boil were almost used up, and new ones had to be burned.
Then Uncle Mancang started to break down the pork.
First cut the pig's head, then slit the pig's belly, take out the internal organs, and cut and divide the various parts of the pork in one smooth step.
The front tenderloin and the back tenderloin are shaved with a knife;
The front pig's trotter, the back pig's trotter, it didn't take a while to twist them all off!
At this time, the women also had work to do, and they directly put the freshly disassembled big bone sticks, waist spines, waist strips, etc. into the water.
Add salt, green onions and ginger to make a soup. Even seasonings like star anise and peppercorns don't show any warmth. They are also very simple seasonings.
This step is called Xun Lao Tang, and Lao Tang is the base of pork-killing vegetables.
Neighbors have a clear division of labor and are skilled in their skills. Some help break down the pork, some hold firewood, some wash intestines, some fetch water, some cook meat, and some make cold dishes.
At first glance, it looks like a professional team. How many years of doing this can we get along so well!
Nuan Nuan saw that these big bone sticks and pork spines filled two large basins, and asked Yang Rui next to him: "Are these all going to be served? Are the ribs also served like this?"
Yang Rui nodded: "These places have bone weighing scales. No one is willing to spend labor points to do this! It's better to have a meal of butchered pork! There are no ribs, and the ribs have to be divided into meat! The pork spine is boiled The bone soup is so delicious!”
Nuan Nuan nodded to express his understanding, and then continued to look at this pig-killing feast in the countryside in the 1960s.
This soup alone needs to be carefully cooked for more than two hours.
The more it is cooked, the more fragrant it becomes. This big stupid pig raised by the people in the village is really hopeless. It is so fragrant! It’s really fragrant!
The children no longer want to run around and play around. They keep getting closer to the big pot where the meat is cooked, but they will be chased away by the adults around them:
"Don't just wait here. I'm so careless. I'll burn you later. What should I do?"
When the children smelled the fragrance, they just wanted to eat and not fight. After a while, they came back and were driven away again.
Continue until the meat is served.
White meat can be said to be the number one dish among pig-killing dishes. The waist meat has been cooked in the old soup for more than two hours. It is fat and thin, and becomes clear and translucent. After taking it out, slice it and eat it with garlic sauce. It is fat but not fat. The greasy taste is just right.
Blood sausage is the soul of the pig-killing dish, and the taste is needless to say. Blood sausage is made from pig intestines and pig blood. After cleaning the pig intestines, pour in the prepared pig blood, tie the opening tightly and then tie it. Segmentation.
In order to prevent the blood in the blood sausage from settling and separating from the seasonings, the prepared blood sausage should be put into the pot immediately, and the fire should always be maintained during cooking, and the cooking time should not be too long.
To cook blood sausage, you don't need to boil the water yet. You need to use some water. Just warm it. When you want to boil it, you have to use cold water to stir it.
To prevent the blood sausage from exploding or turning black, according to the condition of the blood sausage, puncture holes on the surface to deflate the blood sausage from time to time to allow the blood sausage to coagulate better.
This boiled blood sausage must be made by experienced people. If you are inexperienced, the tied blood sausage may break if you are not careful!
Remove the cooked blood sausage and cut it into cubes. It has a dense texture, is tender and elastic, and is delicious when eaten while hot!
Sauerkraut is also indispensable in Northeastern pig-killing vegetables. The women in the villages have already cut, washed and clenched the sauerkraut.
The sour and refreshing taste of sauerkraut is the key to resolving greasiness. Cut the sauerkraut into shreds and put it into the cooked soup, then cook it together with white meat, big bone sticks, pork spine and blood sausage.
The flavors of the broth and sauerkraut blend and balance each other. The more it is cooked, the more fragrant it becomes. With the addition of sauerkraut, the meat becomes more fragrant and delicious.
In addition to blood sausage and white meat, deboned meat, liver, heart and heart meat are also delicious dishes in the butchering dishes.
It took the whole village people several hours to prepare such an authentic pig-killing dish.
Then it was time to line up and go to the pot to get food. When we left, we had already brought our bowls and chopsticks with us, so we could use them right now.
The people who serve meals to the commune members are all middle-aged women who have been cooking for decades and have a reputation in the countryside. These people have good skills. Even if it is such a big pot, the difference will not be too big. It has become a scene where some people are all meat and some are all vegetables.
There may be some bias, a piece or a half more, but after all, it is in public, so the difference will not be too obvious.
Yang Rui and Wen Nuan immediately lined up for Mother Yang to take charge of the big spoon for serving rice.
Mother Yang was biased, but she still knew who was inside and outside. As soon as the big ladle was put up, she filled two full bowls for the two of them.
Tables, chairs and benches brought from various houses have long been set up here, so those who have prepared a meal can sit and eat.
Wen Nuan took a chopstick and ate it into his mouth. It was hot and fragrant. In this cold winter, it felt so comfortable to have these things in his stomach.
Yang Rui asked from the side: "How are you, wife? Is it delicious?"
Nuan Nuan nodded: "It's delicious!"
There was no time to talk anymore, so the two of them came to eat.
After all, this is the middle of winter. If you waste time talking, the food will be completely cold. This food is better to be eaten while it's hot!
Wen Nuan likes to eat sauerkraut and meat at the same time, or sauerkraut and blood sausage at the same time.
It's not greasy at all and is particularly refreshing and delicious.
After eating a whole bowl, the hearty feeling and the delicious taste are so comfortable.
As for the other neighbors at the same table, the same operation was done.
Such delicacy is rare only twice a year, and the food may not be better than this during the holidays. Who can care about talking, so hurry up and make it.
Only what you eat is yours!
of course there are exceptions.
People like Yang Rui and Wen Nuan who don't have to worry about the elderly or their children are in the minority after all.
For example, Erxiang's mother could not see, but she didn't come out at all this time. It was Erxiu who brought her brothers and sisters to do the work, and the prepared meals were also brought home for his mother to eat!
Also, because the lady serving the rice gives different amounts of food to the children and adults, the children have less food and the adults have more food.
But the children have huge appetites. Even though they are half-grown, they will eat me to death. What if they don’t have enough?
Let the elders fill in the gaps!
Nuan Nuan watched some people give all the meat in their bowls to their children. It was really...she missed her parents too!
After all, her parents love her very much and think of her all the time!
However, the thoughts and feelings only lasted for a moment, and were interrupted by the farce on the table next to me.
