"Third Grandpa, are you up so early?"
As soon as I reached the entrance of the village, I met an old man.
"Ah? You're up, but you can't sleep! That's not right. Why did you get up earlier than me?"
"Don't worry, I just went out to take a look at the condom I put in before. I didn't mean to steal your job."
"That's good. No, it doesn't matter if you pick it up. The fertilizer outside doesn't belong to me."
"Haha, I won't pick it up, so hurry up! I saw someone coming out again."
After saying that, Qin Jun quickly walked towards the village.
"Hey, this kid has gained a lot!"
Looking at the bulging sacks, the old man muttered a few words and walked quickly outside the village.
At this time, under the dim light, the originally dark and silent village seemed to have a glimmer of vitality.
Some people who got up early have already turned on the stove, because the chimney made of bricks and mud on the roof is already smoking.
Qin Jun aimed at a house in the east of the village whose chimney was already smoking, and walked quickly over.
If anyone in the village was the first to light the stove, it was definitely Butcher Chu’s.
The three brothers of the Chu family have all inherited the ancestral pig-killing skills, and pig-killing naturally starts early in the morning.
If it were true, there wouldn't be many pig butchers in the village.
But now that we are about to enter the 1980s, the mission pigs no longer need to force the hardliners, and the villagers themselves are already motivated to raise pigs.
Although it takes more than a year to be released, if you kill them at the end of the year, you can have a good year.
Compared with selling to the acquisition point, it is naturally more profitable to kill and sell by oneself.
After all, those who buy meat do not need meat tickets, even if the price is higher.
Not everyone is good at killing pigs, so the Chu family's ancestral skills are useful.
It’s almost December now, and the Chinese New Year is not far away.
Some families who have raised pigs well enough to put them on the market have already begun planning to kill the New Year pigs.
Therefore, early in the morning, the Chu family started working.
When Qin Jun came to Chu Laosan's house, he did not enter their house. Instead, he turned a corner and came to a house in the northeast corner of the village.
This house is a pure brick building, and to the south of it is the team headquarters.
These two buildings are the only brick buildings in the village, but the team headquarters is built with tomb bricks.
The Educated Youth Institute was built by a later educated youth who helped burn bricks.
Now that this house is empty, Qin Jun and a group of young buddies can use it as a base for activities.
As soon as I walked to the gate of the Educated Youth Home, I met a person head-on.
Qin Jun was a little impressed when he saw the large basket she was carrying on her back, which was half a person's height.
"Sister Xiaohua, you are really diligent. At this time, you have already returned with a big basket of grass?"
Chu Xiaohua raised her head, glanced at Qin Jun, and then at the Educated Youth Academy.
Then she lowered her head and continued walking forward. Of course she was not that rude.
So while walking, he said dullly: "I'm not as diligent as you guys. You come out to play so early. You are so energetic!"
Qin Jun was speechless, this resentment was a bit big!
However, there is nothing we can do about it. Who knows that rural areas at this time are generally a bit patriarchal!
This is not a big deal in Xiaohe Village, because there are a group of village elders in charge of their village, and many people do not dare to go too far.
For example, in other villages, I heard that people still exchange marriages!
This is all a matter of poverty. As far as Qin Jun knows, in the surrounding villages, it is considered conscientious for parents to change wives, and I heard that there are still people who sell their daughters.
Shaking his head, Qin Jun pushed open the door of the Educated Youth Academy.
It was cold now, and these weasels had to be dealt with as soon as possible, so he involuntarily sped up his movements.
He closed the door first, then opened the sack, and the four weasels fell to the ground with a plop.
"Holy shit!" With a scream, a little fat man jumped out of the room. To be precise, he could only be regarded as slightly fat.
After all, compared to the Qin army with dead trees facing the wind, they really have meat.
Chu Yu was warming himself by the fire in his room when he suddenly heard a noise. When he came out, he saw a large number of weasels and was naturally startled.
Although he knew that the Qin army was powerful, he had been bragging for a long time, saying that he was going to wipe out a group of weasels outside the village that were causing harm to people.
However, it is still surprising to find such a large number of golden weasels.
He had to be surprised, because when he came out, what he saw was golden sunlight, shining right on a bunch of weasels.
This turns a bunch of weasels into golden yellow.
Therefore, the weasel at this time is golden, as if cast from gold, it is so beautiful.
Seeing such a scene, even Qin Jun was a little shocked.
No wonder this thing is expensive, not without reason, because the fur of these little things makes people really happy to look at it!
At this time, the pile of yellow leather in front of him was completely golden and barely glowed.
"Don't be in a daze, deal with it quickly! If it's too late, it will freeze and it won't be easy to peel off."
Qin Jun was only slightly shocked by the pile of golden fur for a short while before he woke up.
The most important thing is to peel the skin now, otherwise it will easily damage the fur after freezing.
After being awakened, Chu Yu immediately took action.
He has followed his father, Chu Laosan, in killing animals since he was a child, and he is very familiar with handling animal furs.
"Bring it inside! It's too cold outside. I've already prepared the tools in the house. I got a meat rack from home with iron hooks on it. You hang them on the iron hooks one by one."
After saying that, Chu Yu took action quickly.
They walked quickly into the house, two weasels each.
"Third brother, you are really amazing. You got so many Wong Tai Sins in one night."
"Is this so awesome? With experience in the future, your gains every day will be no less than today."
Qin Jun talked nonsense while helping to hang it up.
"Just brag, can the weasel fight more and more?"
The iron hook hooked the mouth, and Qin Chu used a knife to directly cut off the fur on the limbs, and then followed the weasel's mouth and made a cut on its head.
At this time, he put down the knife, directly grabbed the weasel's scalp, and pulled it down suddenly.
With just a scoff, the entire weasel's skin was peeled off.
"Holy shit!" Qin Jun was really surprised this time. Is it so easy to skin him?
"It's a craft passed down from our ancestors, just peel off the skin and fill it with grass! So you don't believe me and think I'm bragging. I'll fill it with grass later and you'll know that I've always been an honest and reliable young man."
Chu Yu smiled and hung the leather in his hand on another shelf.
In this way, Qin Jun was defeated and Chu Yu was defeated.
Even the speed of Qin Jun's death could not keep up with Chu Yu's speed of peeling off the skin. This is unreasonable.
Qin Jun could only speed up his movements. He was an authentic craftsman, and he used to point at his hands to eat.
So no matter what you do, you have to be smart and skillful.
The two people cooperated quickly and quickly dealt with the four weasels.
Chu Yu felt a little regretful for leaving behind the last naked weasel.
"This thing is too light. It only weighs two to three kilograms at most except for the fur. After excluding the internal organs and bones, it would be good to have two kilograms of meat!"
"This is quite a lot, it happens every day!"
"Yes! Do you want to eat it? If all this meat is cooked, according to your statement, then we can achieve the freedom to eat meat today."
After speaking, Chu Yu looked at Qin Jun with sparkling eyes.
It's 1979 now, not even 80 yet!
Even throughout the 1980s, rural areas were generally short of meat.
Although it's weasel meat, I thought it would be a bit jarring, but if it's really cooked, who cares what kind of meat it is? Some are good to eat.
Chu Yu made him feel angry when he saw him, but Qin Jun was not a real fourteen-year-old kid.
"Eat shit. I heard that this food is not delicious and its internal organs are poisonous. If you have a channel, just sell the meat and we will eat the rabbit."
"There are too few rabbits. Where can we find enough to eat?"
Chu Yu felt very sorry, because even if his family was a pig butcher, he couldn't eat meat often.
That is, during the Chinese New Year, his father helps people kill pigs so that he can eat more meat.
Because the reward for killing a pig is a pig intestine and a pig tail.
Unable to realize the freedom to eat meat, Chu Yu lost his mind and turned around to start the next step of work.
Now those weasels have only been skinned, not grown into grass.
Only when it is filled with grass and propped up to form a leather tube can it be dried.
However, the skins need to be treated a little before drying.
Just now, Chu Yu was afraid that the body would freeze, so he peeled off the skin as fast as possible.
He can no longer pursue speed now. He needs to scrape off the remaining meat and fat stuck to the skin.
Then it can be filled with grass, so that the stretched leather can be hung in a ventilated place to dry.
It should be noted that it cannot be exposed to the sun.
After the skin is fully dry, remove the skin and sell it to the purchasing department.
Qin Jun couldn't help with what happened next. His attention at this time had already shifted to the stove inside the house.
The stove was burning vigorously, especially the big pot on top, which exuded an alluring aroma.
From the moment he entered, his attention had been focused on the weasel.
Coupled with the smell of weasel, it directly blocked all the fragrance, so he didn't even notice that rabbit was stewed on the stove!
He opened the lid of the pot and quickly picked up a rabbit leg. Qin Jun immediately took a big bite.
Then he was not in a hurry, but started chewing slowly.
The rabbit meat has been stewed for a long time, and the flavor has penetrated into the meat.
After one bite, the rich aroma of meat, mixed with a hint of spicy food, instantly satisfied his taste buds.
Qin Jun squinted his eyes and tasted this rare delicacy carefully.
Salty, fresh, spicy, spicy, all kinds of flavors blended together, making Qin Jun feel very happy instantly.
It can also be said that Qin Jun feels the happiest every time he eats delicious food during the busy half-month!
If I could do this every day, life in the 1980s would not be so difficult.
Of course, this has to be a prerequisite, and it has to be meat made by Chu Yu!
It has to be said that Chu Yu is an expert in handling meat.
Even if Qin Jun was a man for two generations, the rabbit he made could not compare with Chu Yu.
Half a month ago, he went out to search for weasels in the evening. Although he didn't kill any weasels, he still had an unexpected harvest.
Ten days ago, he trapped a rabbit on the fence of the village orchard.
I was very hungry at that time, so I went directly to the Educated Youth Hospital, thinking of having a good meal first to replenish my body.
Qin Jun can cook, and he thinks he is pretty good at it.
However, when he struggled for two hours, the rabbit that was finally stewed was beyond words!
There was nothing he could do about it, because it turned out that he had never eaten rabbit before.
Although Qin Jun was born and raised in the countryside, he has never hunted a hare.
Later, when he went out to work, besides working, he would read novels and watch videos to pass the time.
After reading many novels, he realized that it is easy to trap rabbits in period novels!
He didn't know if the protagonists in the novel were all treated like waiting for something to happen!
Anyway, he couldn't do it. Even if he was reborn, he could only rely on the hunting experience he learned later to trap a rabbit.
It's been half a month now, and I've got two of them. They're nothing like the novels I've read before.
The important thing to note here is that the hunting experience he used was learned from professionals, not from novels.
Do you really want to catch rabbits as described in the novel? That's what you want to eat.
And this wasn't over yet. He really didn't expect that the rabbit would taste so unpalatable if he didn't handle it well.
Even if his body is always hungry, he feels that as long as it is meat, even if it is raw, he should be able to eat three kilograms in one breath.
However, when he actually faced the cooked rabbit meat, he found it difficult to swallow.
The feeling is really indescribable. If I really wanted to describe it, it felt like eating the meat of a breeding pig.
Still don’t know what it feels like? That's saucy, not fishy, because even the fishy smell can't cover up the stinking smell.
