Pharmacists of the future in the 60s

Xiao Han and Wei Yan changed from strangers they just met to good friends in a very short time.

There is no way to do this, because it is Wei Yan's last six months of schooling in the commune.

If Wei Yan went to the county town to attend high school next year, then the two of them would definitely not have many chances to meet each other.Therefore, Xiao Han can only strive to improve the relationship between the two before Wei Yan goes to high school.

Soon, Wei Yan's junior high school life was over.During the winter vacation, that is, when he graduated from junior high school.And this can be regarded as the last holiday before going to the county to go to school.

Because it's winter and the weather is getting cold, although Wei Yan stays at home during the holidays, he seldom goes out.During the summer vacation, he would go up the mountain to collect herbs from time to time, but in winter he would basically not go up the mountain.Needless to say, you can’t get any herbs when you go up the mountain in winter, and there is nothing else on the snow-covered mountain, so basically no one goes to the mountain in winter.

Because Wei Yan doesn't go out very much, Xiao Han must come to Wei's house if he wants to see him.Therefore, the chances for them to meet recently have also decreased a lot.

Of course, this is also the reason why Xiao Han needs to go to work every day, and he can't make excuses to meet Wei Yan every day, so the chances of the two meeting each other will be less.

Although there are fewer opportunities for the two to meet each other, the intimacy between the two has not deteriorated.

Maybe because they hit it off so well, it's not easy to become good friends so quickly.

Wei Yan stays at home Maodong, Xiao Han usually goes to work, and from time to time, he finds an opportunity to go to Wei's house to meet Wei Yan and so on, and the days go by very quickly.

Today, it was the day when their production team slaughtered pigs.

The Chinese New Year is almost here, and this year's food has already been distributed, and this year's pig raising task has also been handed in, and now the remaining big fat pigs are waiting to be killed and distributed to the members of the commune.

When they kill the New Year’s pigs here, in addition to the distributed pork, there will also be bits and pieces of pigs that will be directly put into other dishes to cook together in a big pot, and then they will have a meal for all members of the production team.

Therefore, it is a lively day to kill pigs.Especially the children's favorite is this day.

Although Wei Yan is a fake child, he is also looking forward to the day of slaughtering pigs.

Xiao Han and the others are new educated youths this year, because of work points, there must not be as many people who have worked for a whole year.

So there must not be so much food and pork allotted.However, they are already very satisfied to be able to score.

When they first came here, everyone still felt that the food that the production team leader lent them was not enough. It was only later, when it was their turn to distribute the food, that they realized that they could only get this amount of food after working so hard for so long.

However, this is also because they just went to the countryside, and they don't know anything at first, and they don't even say how much work they do. It's good if they can do it neatly.So the work points will definitely not be high. After a while, everyone will gradually get used to it. If they can do a better job and the work is done in a decent way, then the work points will go up.

Therefore, they only came here in summer, and there are not a few months left until the end of the year.Besides, they need to adapt for a period of time when they first come here, so there is no work point for them.Therefore, when the food is distributed at the end of the year, they will definitely feel that they have worked so hard to get so little, and it must not be enough for next year.

Xiao Han is very aware of this matter.Because he remembered that he had lived like this in his last life.It's just that in this life, because he quickly started farming, his work points were higher than other new educated youths from the very beginning.When it came time to distribute the food later, he must have received the most food among the new educated youths, and of course it was much more than at this time in his previous life.

This is change, and this is progress.So he is very satisfied to be able to be better than his previous life.

Xiao Han and his educated youths are also looking forward to the day when the pig is slaughtered.Especially the new educated youths this year.Regardless of their family circumstances, they can always have a meal of meat from time to time when they stay at home.

But after coming to the country, the situation is completely different.

Although the production team lent them food, it was enough to eat.But in terms of food, you have to figure out your own way.The educated youth spot has private land to grow vegetables, so vegetarian dishes are still guaranteed.However, if you want to eat meat, you have to pay for it and buy a ticket.

Of course, in autumn, they will also go to the mountains with old educated youths to try their luck. If they can catch hares and pheasants, they can also add meat dishes.

It's just that there are not many such opportunities.Sometimes even if there is some harvest, but there are too many educated youths, so there will be less distribution to each person's mouth.

That is to say, only when everyone raises money to buy meat and eat it back, they will buy more on purpose, so that it is enough for everyone to have a good meal.

By the way, fat meat can also be refined and stored, so that it can also be fried with meat oil for a period of time later, and the taste will be much better.There is still a big difference in the taste of lard frying and rapeseed oil frying.

Usually, people don’t often chip in to buy meat, so the educated youth’s meals are mainly vegetarian dishes. It’s a good situation to use lard when cooking.

Therefore, all the educated youths in the educated youth spot are now very much looking forward to the day when the pigs are slaughtered.

So, on the day when the pig was slaughtered, everyone was looking forward to it, not only the children, but everyone was waiting for the meat to eat.

In the eager anticipation of everyone, the day of slaughtering pigs came.

Early this morning, the children had already woken up very consciously without the adults calling repeatedly.

Usually when it comes to winter, the children like to stay in bed every morning, and they usually can't get up without calling a few times.

It's all right now, there's no need to shout, just say that today's pig is being slaughtered, and it's so fast to wake up.

Boys are even more so, they like to see the pig butcher butcher, so go there early, otherwise you won't be able to see it.

Because on the day of pig slaughter, the production team cadres and pig butchers will get up very early together, and then make various preparations for today's pig slaughter.

Generally, a temporary kitchen must be set up first, and firewood, cauldrons, and various tools for killing pigs and cooking dishes must be prepared.

Moreover, killing pigs is also considered physical work, and one or two people can't do it. It will be faster if more people come together.

Therefore, the people who will participate in the butchering of the pigs the next day are usually determined the night before, and then they have to come over very early to start preparations and kill them early so that the meat can be distributed early.

Of course, before killing the pig, a large pot of boiling water must be boiled to scald the pig hair so that it can be easily scraped off.

Although Wei Yan was curious about how to butcher pigs, he didn't get up much in winter.He often stays in bed in winter.In such a cold weather, of course, the bed is the most comfortable. He definitely doesn't want to get up.

And he always felt that nothing was more important than staying in bed.So he basically goes there late every year on the day of slaughtering pigs.Therefore, after coming to this era for more than ten years, he really never saw the slaughter of pigs from beginning to end.

So, this year he is going to get up early, and then go to see the process of slaughtering pigs.

Wei Yan asked his brothers to wake him up at first.It's just that, unlike him, the brothers have never seen a pig slaughter, so they are not interested in watching a pig slaughter, they are only interested in dividing the meat.So don't get up so early.

In the end, it was Grandma Wei who came to wake him up.

Wei Yan has already made an appointment with his friends, and they will gather at the door in a while, and then go to watch the slaughter of pigs together.

Like him, some of the other friends have never watched The Killing Pig. This year is the first time so they are very excited. Some of them have watched it in previous years, but it does not affect their continued watching this year.

Everyone was waiting excitedly, so Wei Yan obediently got up and got dressed when Grandma Wei called for the second time.

Because of the cold weather, he also put on his clothes very quickly, fearing that the heat that he just brought out of the bed would dissipate.

After he gets up and washes up, he has to eat breakfast first. It's too cold outside and if he doesn't eat something warm, he will definitely be frozen through when he goes out.

Since you are going to see the pig slaughter, you must stay outside for a long time. Usually, you will not come back until lunch time after eating the pig slaughter.

Of course, now it’s basically done and let the members of each household bring the pots in their homes to fill the distributed pig dishes, and then take them home to eat.

This can be regarded as adding a dish to the family.Wei Yan likes to eat this pig-killing dish every year.

Although it is also possible to eat like this at home, he feels that it is more satisfying to eat and taste better if it is made like a big pot.

After Wei Yan finished his breakfast, he went out to meet up with his friends.

They arrived relatively early, and the pig butcher just boiled the water that will be used in a while, and now he is preparing to tie the big fat pig that has just arrived on the long table.

Wei Yan and the others heard the pig squealing from a long distance away.Now the pig still has the strength to struggle and neigh, but it will calm down when it is stabbed in and out by the butcher.

Under the long table, there is also a large basin specially placed, which is ready to be used to catch the hot pig's blood later.

Wei Yan and the others were young and couldn't help much, so Lin Dazhuang, the production team leader, called them over to help light the fire.

Wei Yan likes to light a fire in such a cold weather, so he and his friends quickly moved over to it, and by the way, they can enjoy the fire, so that it won't be so cold.

Not long after they got to the fire, the slaughter of pigs reached a critical moment.That is to say, when the white knife enters and the red knife exits.

Although Wei Yan was not afraid to watch such a moment, he still lowered his head and did not continue watching.Just take a look at the pig killing scene and participate in it. It doesn't have to be to actually watch the knife go in and out.

After the sound of the pig could no longer be heard, Wei Yan raised his head to see the next move of the butcher.

The next step is to depilate the pig, then wash it and divide it.

Wei Yan was actually interested in the following steps, so he looked more carefully later.

Although there are not many steps in the back, each step is quite troublesome.Take pig shaving as an example, you have to shave as little as possible, and you have to shave the whole pig.
