They didn't want money, and Shi Hongda couldn't force it, so he thanked him and went back with the money.
The Yu family has already started making preparations.
There must be a lot of people coming on the day of the pig slaughter. Yu Juren wants everyone to eat and drink well, but there is one thing, it’s not too hot in Yu’s house now, you can eat meat, drink rice wine, and meat can’t be braised. Can only do white cut.
But the folks don't mind, whether it's white cut or braised in soy sauce, as long as it's less than Juren's butchered rice, they will go.
Yu Liangji didn't really make people eat pork all the time. The green peppers at home were ready to eat, and the green vegetables such as leeks could also be cut. Chef Huang didn't have to worry about having no ingredients to use.
Moreover, after the pig is slaughtered, a part of the oil is extracted and used as cooking oil. Although soybean oil is very good, some dishes are better with some meat oil.
The pots and pans at home must be prepared in advance, and there is also a table for eating. If the banquet is held this time, it must be eaten in the house, and the east and west rooms must also be used. The big pot, medium pot and small pot will be hot fully open.
The bench was borrowed from the school, and when Zhang’s family held a wedding, the bench was also borrowed from the school. This has become a habit, because other people’s homes don’t have so many stools!
Then there are tables. Fortunately, our family has a large population, and there are many kinds of kang tables and floor tables, so there is no need to borrow them.
On the last day of Dongyue, Shi Hongda and Batu went to Lao Ni's house together, drove the big fat pig back, and kept it in a temporarily vacated pigsty in his house.
Last year during the Chinese New Year, the Yu family did not slaughter pigs because of keeping filial piety.
According to the local customs in the Northeast, if you kill a pig for the New Year, you have to invite good people to eat a meal of pig-killing dishes. Some people can't eat a pig by themselves, so they also want to take the opportunity to sell some.
Because Yu Liangji has some prestige now, he has notified everyone in the village that he will arrive tomorrow.
Yu Liangji also ate pig-killing dishes before, but he was in a restaurant at that time!
I don't know if it's original or not, so I paid more attention to it curiously.
But in the early morning of the first day of the twelfth lunar month, after breakfast, he was sent away!
"Why do you want me to leave?" Xiao Yuju was not convinced, why did he want to leave when the whole family was there?
"Take a few little ones out to avoid it, this butcher screams, what should I do if I scare the children?" Liu Wenxi insisted.
And it's not just Xiao Juren who has to cry to escape alone, anyone in the family who is not married, except for Baduo, and the rest including Miss Song and Miss Huang must go out!
"Let Baduo take them away!" Yu Juren wanted to stay and watch the pig slaughter!
"Ba Duo wants to stay and help!" Liu Wenxi disagreed. Bar Duo is much more useful than the young master, who is most suitable for taking children and female relatives out to avoid killing.
"Then I...!" Yu Juren wanted to say something else.
"Take the children out properly, and walk far away. Pig killing is a popular thing. Don't let the children be frightened, and the sound of pigs is also very intrusive!" Shi Hongda specifically pointed at Yu Baobao: "You don't want to scare the baby, do you?"
Yu Juren took a deep breath, well, he admitted that he was hit by Shi Hongda!
Miss Song wore a thick cloak and a big hood that could cover half of her face. Miss Huang was very casual, wearing a fluffy rabbit fur hat. Miss Song took Ba Jia from the Ba family, and Ba Mu could walk by himself, but he still supported Yu Juren's arm, and Yu Juren pulled his little nephew.
The group of women and children went out and stood at the gate. Yu Liangji didn't know which house to go to!
It's not allowed around here, because you will hear the sound of killing pigs. The children are still young, and they are afraid of being shocked. Yu Baobao looked up at his little uncle: "Uncle, where are we going?"
He did know that he should not be at home at this time, and he had seen the pig that was going to be slaughtered, it was a big one, and it was fat, and he knew that slaughter meant killing, so he obediently Follow out to avoid killing.
"Let's go to Grandma Che's house!" Yu Liangji gritted his teeth and chose another house.
There are people in the old village head’s house, but the old village head has a lot of family members, so it’s not good for them to disturb them; other people’s houses are probably similar to the old village head’s house, where parents, wives and children live together. Sleep in separate rooms.
The Che family is different. The Che family is just an old couple, and it looks like Che Da, with a small population and a large enough place. The Che family is a typical courtyard house with four large vegetable gardens.
The Che family did not raise large livestock, neither pigs nor cattle, only two small donkeys and a cart.
Today, Yu Ju's family slaughtered pigs, and the adopted son Che Da went to help early. The old couple stayed at home and talked about finding a wife for the adopted son.
The old couple was thinking about it, when they heard their dog barking, it was quite fierce, someone came!
Who can come at this time?
Those who can be the masters of the house go to Yu's house to eat pig meat, and those who can't be the masters of the house are basically women and children. At this time, who is here?
Grandpa Che went to open the door, and when he opened the door, he saw Yu Juren's smiling face, a group of children in their hands, and two girls, one big and one small, standing behind them!
"Grandpa Che, come to your house for a while!" Xiao Yuju smiled cutely.
"Ouch!" Grandpa Che laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, "Come in!"
A group of weak women and children entered the door. Grandpa Che closed the door and shouted towards the main room: "Old woman, come out quickly! Xiao Juren is here!"
Yu Liangji was in a daze, because he seemed to be shouting "the devil is coming"!
As soon as Grandma Che came out, she saw Yu Juren with so many dolls!
In the eyes of the elderly, no matter how good-looking Miss Song is, she is still a child!
The old couple of Che's family warmly received Yu Juren and his party, and brought out home-grown melon seeds and peanuts, as well as some soft pastries suitable for the elderly and children. This is already a very high standard of reception.
Even opened two bottles of canned fruit for a few children!
This is also the first time Yu Juren has seen canned fruit!
It is also in a glass bottle, but it is very big. There are a can of hawthorn, a can of strawberry, and a can of yellow peach.
This thing is sweet, and children love to eat it. The one for Juren is a cup of scented tea, the apricot tea made by grandma Che, and the tea for the two girls is also scented tea, which is the same as that for Juren, but the cup for Juren is better. , is a tureen, and the two little girls are big bowls.
Who asked the family to have only three tureen bowls, the two elderly people have already used their own, and the one that is smaller than Juren is still Cheda's!
The remaining two are missing a gap, so they are not suitable for little girls. What if the mouth is broken?
So young, no family yet!
The reception of the old couple here is smaller than that of Juren, and the number of people from the Yu family over there is almost the same. They are all old men from various families, and there are a few old people. Those who came early are here to help, so Shi Hongda is not polite. In charge, Batu went to the pigsty with a few arms and big waists, tied up the big fat pig, put it on a wooden board and tied it up, probably because he knew he was going to die, and the exchange of big fat pigs was especially miserable!
"Fortunately, Xiao Juren left with the children!" Chef Huang was sharpening his knife, and he chose a willow-leaf butcher's knife with a blood groove!
"Yeah, otherwise, if you shout like that, you will definitely scare the children!" Cook Huang nodded. Although her daughter has killed ducks and chickens, she is still a little girl after all, and she has never killed a pig. Boy, this is why I stayed to watch my father kill pigs.
"Father, why don't I try?" Xiao Huang was eager to try.
"Try a fart!" Chef Huang disagreed: "After you have a son and daughter, try again!"
"Why?" Xiao Huang was not convinced.
"This is killing after all!" Cook Huang patted her son's head: "Be obedient, this kind of killing must not be done before you have a biological child!"
Xiao Huang understood, nodded, and stopped talking.
The ancients were all superstitious. Although this era has improved a lot, the creed that has been passed down for thousands of years is still inseparable.
Shi Hongda passed by, listened to the whole process, leaned against the eaves by the door, stroked his chin and thought about something.
But then Chef Huang came out, he was going to butcher a pig!
Chef Huang did this very neatly. He stabbed it with a knife and blood came out. There was a big basin of pig blood underneath. This was to be filled with blood sausage. Layers of seasonings, the pig hummed at the beginning, then there was no sound, and at the end, it completely died!
At this time, we should quickly lift the pig to the big pot, put it on the wooden board, and scald the pig hair with boiling water!
On a large knife, start to shave the pig hair while it is hot!
When the pig hair is probably shaved clean, it is time to start breaking the intestines!
The pig-killing dishes here are mainly homemade sauerkraut, shredded finely, plus large pieces of pork belly. It doesn’t matter if it’s fatter, but it’s more fragrant. Put it in a pot and stew it together.
After the intestines are broken, start to take care of the sewage. This should be done as soon as possible, especially in the field. I didn’t feed the pigs last night. The intestines are basically clean. I just finished processing the sewage. The intestines had already been ripped out and washed with coarse salt. After they were finished, they were handed over, and the blood sausage began to be poured over there.
Wash the pig intestines clean, mix the next pig blood with some water and add a little fine salt, pour it in with a funnel, tie the two ends with a clean white thread, and put it in the stew pot cook.
This is the main course.
As for the remaining pig hearts and livers, they were taken away and disposed of. The pig hearts were directly poured with water and frozen outside. The pig livers were boiled in salt water, cut in half and kept half.
The sauerkraut is ready to be stewed, the fat in the fat has been melted in the soup, take out the large pieces of meat, and slice them.
The blood sausage was also fished out and sliced. Now it's time to test Chef Huang. You need excellent knife skills, fast knives, and even faster hands!
The skin on the outside is tough, but the blood on the inside is brittle, and the craftsmanship is almost cut into pieces.
Stir-fried a pork lung with pepper, and made a cold dish with cucumber and bean sprouts with vermicelli; thinly sliced salted pork liver, served with a plate of garlic and soy sauce, the taste is also very good.
It's just cut too thin, looking at a plate, in fact there is not much!
Until the meal was set, Xiao Ju took his family with him, and brought the old couple back home with the Che family. As soon as they arrived at the door, they could smell the fragrance!
After entering the room, I saw the butchered dishes on the table!
On each table is a big pot with butchered pig stewed vegetables, blood sausage and pork belly cut by Ma Zhe on the side, not only that, but also frozen tofu and vermicelli.
The four dishes next to it are stir-fried pork lungs, white cut pork, cold pork liver and homemade herbal tea.
The staple food is the steamed double-faced steamed buns that have been steamed for a long time, but now they are steamed with water for a while, and they are still soft after they come out of the pan.
This is the real pig stew!
Xiao Juren happily sat down at the main table, which was full of respected old people, such as Grandpa Che of the Che family, the old village head, and so on.
Regardless of the fact that there are only four dishes, a big pot, and a big steamed bun in a dustpan, although there is no braised pork in the Yu family's meal, it's not bad to have white meat, not to mention there are vegetables to eat!
During the banquet, others were always persuading people to "eat meat". Only Xiao Juren was different. He had to take care of the health of several elderly people, so seeing that they liked to eat cold dishes, he asked people to add another plate: "At this time, eat meat." The meat is a bit greasy, it would be nice to eat some green vegetables!"
