Chapter 1810: Happy and Forgetful 8

Three pots of noodles steamed nine big pots of steamed buns, each pot had about twenty buns, three-grain noodles were gray, and two-grain noodles were golden.

I cooked pumpkin rice, scooped a pot of pickled garlic, but didn't cook any vegetables.

Yesterday's meal was too greasy, and none of the old and the children disliked the coarse grain rice. Erxiong ate two big rolls of two-grain noodles in one breath. You should know that Fubao and Zhuangzhuang only ate one.

Today, we slaughtered pigs, and twenty big pots were set up early in the field in front of the brigade office.

The firewood under the stove was burning, and the hot water in the pot was bubbling out. More than a thousand men, women, old and young did not sleep in, and there was laughter and joy. Zhang Yuejin led a group of strong laborers to catch and slaughter pigs. The screams of the pigs before they died were terrible.

Lu Erxiong was not afraid at all. He was very excited and eager to try. If Xibao hadn't pulled him back, he would have come to watch the fun.

Twelve pigs were slaughtered, and more than twenty pots of pig blood were collected.

It was cold, so the pig's blood quickly coagulated.

Boiling water was poured on the pig's body. Zhang Yuejin took off his cotton jacket and put on a single autumn shirt. He quickly shaved off the pig's hair, and the black fat pig became white and fat, and died with his eyes open.

The pigs in Wanglou Brigade were really fat, fat and strong.

The state has regulations that pigs that do not exceed 120 kilograms are not allowed to be slaughtered. However, Wanglou Brigade had a good harvest of grain and lush vegetation. People were well fed and pigs were well fed. The twelve pigs weighed an average of about 140 kilograms, and each pig had about 100 kilograms of clean meat.

Zhang Yuejin disassembled a pig, and the meat of various parts was neatly placed on the big table. He saw the children following Xi Bao, among whom Erxiong's eyes were the brightest. In the envious eyes of the other children, he handed him a pig's bladder, "Boy, wash it and find a trachea to inflate it and kick it like a ball."

Lu Erxiong's eyes widened, "What? What is this? It's not a balloon."

The child next to him hurriedly said, "This is a pig's bladder, it's fun!"

Farm children have few things to play with, iron rings are not common, they are all spinning tops and slingshots, and the pig's bladders when the pigs are slaughtered every year. There are so many children and so few pig's bladders, whoever gets it will be proud.

Lu Erxiong didn't mind the dirt, and excitedly took it in his hand and discussed with the child how to deal with it.

Soon, a fully inflated pig bladder became a new toy for a group of boys. Lu Erxiong no longer had the energy to watch Zhang Yuejin slaughter the pig, and said to the child who was playing with him, "A few days later, let my third uncle buy a leather ball."

"Leather ball!" A group of children showed envy, "Do you often play football in the city?"

Lu Erxiong thought for a while, "Not often, we still have to go to school, and the older children don't like to play with us younger children. But when the older children are not around, we will play football, basketball and table tennis. I don't know if my table tennis racket and badminton racket have been sent. If they are sent, I will take them to play with you and teach you how to play table tennis and badminton."

As the pigs were slaughtered and disassembled, ten of the twelve pig bladders fell into the hands of the children. The other two were taken away to make up for the shape. It was agreed in advance, and the others did not object, but the children were a little unhappy.

Twenty pots began to stew meat, and the fragrance filled the air.

Wang Zhengguo decided to let everyone eat their fill, so he stewed two pigs at once. In addition, each household brought radishes, cabbages, and dried vegetables, which were washed and cut, and thrown directly into the pot when the meat was cooked. Each person could get a large bowl.

Smelling the aroma of meat, Lu Erxiong was so happy that he couldn't find his way back. He was a little reluctant to leave.
