Meng Xiaoman put away the money receipt, "Then let's bring some food to send over tomorrow and see Mr. Chen." Yesterday, Mr. Chen said that he was a doctor before decentralization. Meng Xiaoman thought that he could He couldn't be allowed to show Xiao Xiangdong's legs.

The doctors in the capital city are definitely better than those in the provincial capitals.

However, this matter cannot be rushed, at least until Chen Lao recovers from his leg injury.

The next day, Meng Xiaoman got a few kilograms of white flour and rice, half a kilogram of eggs, some walnuts, chestnuts and other dried fruits, and also took a dried rabbit and made a big basket. He and Xiao Xiangdong arrived at the breeding place's residence.

"Grandpa Zhang, there are some food here. Please give it to Mr. Chen." After delivering the food, the two went back.

Years ago, there was a harvest of sorghum and millet in the space, but this time after handing in the things, the space actually gave me a year-end gift package.

This space is so weird that it even gives "year-end bonuses" to migrant workers.

There are three bottles of pills in the gift package, including Shiquan Dabu Pills, Beauty Pills, and a Quick-acting Jiuxin Pill. In addition to the three bottles of pills, there are also five talismans, two of which are written with luck, two with disaster avoidance, and one. Zhang wrote to save his life.

Lucky charms can increase people's luck, but they are only effective for four hours. They are used to avoid disasters and help the person who uses them bring good fortune and avoid fatal injuries. As for life-saving, it can save the life of a dying person.

This thing is a good thing. As expected of her, Meng Xiaoman put the things away carefully.

After harvesting sorghum and millet, we planted sweet potatoes and potatoes from the space.

The entire harvesting process took only two nights.

It seems that exercising every day is still effective.

After she stopped working, Meng Xiaoman asked Xiao Xiangdong to teach her military boxing and self-defense techniques.

Xiao Xiangdong couldn't demonstrate the movements, so he took a pen and paper and drew simple sketches and action breakdowns for him.

Meng Xiaoman also took the matchstick villain he drew and joked that it looked like a legendary martial arts secret book.

Meng Xiaoman made Xiao Xiangdong take two more fitness pills. Now, his legs have regained basic feeling. Meng Xiaoman runs, boxing, and does strength exercises every day, while Xiao Xiangdong practices the control of his legs every day.

Time flies by full and fast. Today is the time for the brigade to kill the New Year pig. Sister Fang came over early in the morning to find Meng Xiaoman to share the pork.

Every year, the brigade has task pigs. In addition to the task pigs, it can also raise one or two New Year pigs, which are killed during the Chinese New Year and the meat is distributed among the members.

The meat is divided according to the head. After the meat is divided, the remaining meat will be sold to the members at a slightly lower price.

Pigs were being slaughtered today. Early in the morning, the empty lot outside the breeding area was filled with people.

Zhang Ping'an, Zhang Dongliang's father, is the master pig-killer in the team. He is the one who cuts the knife every year, and he works neatly. A pig can be finished in his hands in half an hour.

This was Meng Xiaoman's first time watching a pig killing scene.

The big fat pig with its four legs tied tightly was pinned to the chopping board by the strong man. The pig butcher took the sharp knife of the pig butcher and stabbed the pig from the throat to the heart. He moved quickly and accurately, killing the pig with one knife.

The hot pig blood flows into the basin that has been prepared long ago.

After the pig's blood has drained out and the pig is dead, the butcher cuts a hole in the pig's hind leg, and then blows into the hole. The air travels along the pig's body, and soon the pig's body becomes fat and round. Hooves spread.

"What are you doing?" Meng Xiaoman asked curiously.

"Blow air into the pig again, so that it will be easier to remove the hair." Sister Fang said.

At this time, water was already boiling in a large pot set up on the side. Several men carried the fat pig that had been blown into a round shape into the large pot, poured hot water on the pig, and began to remove the pig's hair.

"Don't you need to boil it?" Meng Xiaoman saw that the water in the pot had not yet boiled.

"No, just drive quickly. If it's too high, it won't go back well and the pigskin will turn red."

Meng Xiaoman did not expect that there are so many ways to kill pigs. Sure enough, there is knowledge everywhere in life.

After removing the pig hair, everyone lifted the pig to the chopping board. It was time for Zhang Pingan to show off his skills again. Remove the pig's head, remove the legs, disembowel the belly, remove the liver, lungs, intestines and other internal organs, then cut the pig body into eight pieces and separate the bones and flesh. The movements are smooth and very fast.

In less than half an hour, various parts of the pig body were placed on the two chopping boards: suet, pork belly, pig trotters, leg bones, ribs, offal, etc.

Following the same pattern, Zhang Pingan quickly took care of the other pig. After both pigs were decomposed, it was finally time for everyone to look forward to the meat-sharing process.

Although two big fat pigs were killed, there were many members in the Qinghe brigade, so each person could only share half a catty, and a large family could only share a few catties at most.

These days, suet is the most popular, followed by fatty pork belly and lean pork, which are not satiating and many people don’t like them.

Meng Xiaoman went early, and when it was her turn, there was a lot of pork belly on the chopping board. She ordered a pound of pork belly and prepared to make dumplings.

In addition to her share of meat, she bought two extra pounds of ribs, a pig's trotter and a pair of large intestines.

Xiao's mother also took a basket to share the meat. The family was large, with a total of fifteen people, and she could share seven and a half kilograms of pork.

"Hey, I want this piece, this piece of fat." Mother Xiao said to the person dividing the meat.

"It's all the same. This piece is also pork belly, which is good meat from the legs."

"I want this piece, hurry up." Xiao's mother said.

"How many?"

"Seven and a half pounds."

"Six and a half pounds."

Xiao's mother and the accountant said at the same time.

"How much?" asked Zhang Dachuan, who was dividing the meat. The knife in his hand almost cut off.

"Seven and a half kilograms. There are fifteen people in our family. Each person has half a kilogram. Isn't it exactly seven and a half kilograms?" Mother Xiao said.

The accountant flipped through the record, "It's seven and a half pounds, but just now Xiang Dong's family came over and said they were eating alone, so he took away their share."

Accountant Zhao Quansheng is an old accountant in the village. He is very familiar with the number of people in each family in the village. Every year, he comes to sit in charge of the meat distribution, just in case someone gets the numbers wrong.

"What? If you take them away, don't they all take them one by one? How can you separate them and let her take them alone?" Mother Xiao said, "Did you remember it wrong?"

Zhao Quansheng was questioned by her and said in a bad tone: "Pork is originally divided according to head. Whether you receive it separately or together, as long as the number is correct."

In the village, people like the Xiao family have the same household registration, but they live separately and eat a lot of food separately. For convenience, they all receive separate portions of pork.

"Sister-in-law Xiao, hurry up, do you want to receive it? Are the people behind you waiting?" Zhang Dachuan urged.

"Come on, come on, give me six and a half kilograms," said Xiao's mother.

After receiving the meat, Xiao's mother walked home angrily. The meat was reserved for the New Year. Xiao Xiangdong and Meng Xiaoman would also have New Year's Eve dinner together, but now she took the meat away first. So what do you eat during the Chinese New Year? Don't you want to eat the food of these people?

The more Xiao's mother thought about it, the angrier she became. She left the meat at home and went to the old house.

The fourth child asked for money that time and wiped out all the family's savings. Now that it was the New Year, he didn't buy any New Year's goods. He just ordered New Year's meat and vegetables, and the two of them gave him a pound. Xiao's mother was so angry that she had nowhere to express her anger.
