Chapter 79 - Divided boar 2
Although the wild boar was killed, everyone still found people in the team who were very good at killing pigs to help kill the pigs and let them blood.
The guys didn’t boil the water to scald the hair, but directly burned the pig hair and scraped it off. The guys were very excited because they had meat to eat, and the work was very neat.
Zhang Deping and Liu Guiying went home, Zhang Chengchuan followed everyone to help deal with wild boars, and Chen Xiayue also followed to watch the fun.
Chen Xiayue looked at the scene of slaughtering pigs in front of her and felt very nostalgic. When she was a child, she could often see the scene of slaughtering pigs, and she went to join in the fun every time. However, after she went to her mother’s side, she never saw such a scene again, and I still miss it now.
Because of the sufficient manpower, even if the pig was very large, everyone quickly burned the pig’s hair, shaved it clean, and opened its belly.
In order to facilitate the handling of this pig, everyone moved it to the river for cleaning, and burned the pig’s hair on the river beach.
After everyone disemboweled the wild boar, they threw the internal organs to others to wash, and the pig liver and pig heart were all washed, but the pig stomach, pig intestines, pig lungs and so on need to be careful.
After the pork was cleaned up, the team leader and the others weighed it. After removing the internal organs and pig blood, there were still about 780 kilograms of pork. However, the Yunhe Brigade had 600 households.
In this era, people don’t like family separation very much. It is rare for grandparents like Zhang Chengchuan to separate their sons and grandchildren, so the population of 600 families is actually quite large.
These captains don’t care, anyway, each of the more than 600 households can distribute more than a pound of pork, and which part of the meat is distributed? It’s good to have meat.
“Captain, my family wants two pig’s trotters.” Zhang Chengchuan said to the captain. Others don’t like pig’s trotters that have no meat, but Zhang Chengchuan doesn’t dislike it at all.
How delicious is the pig’s trotter? His daughter-in-law exchanged several pig trotters with Ans before and came back to make spicy roast pig trotters, which tasted very good.
The pork trotters roasted after being marinated are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sauce is rich in flavor. When you eat it, you can’t wait to chew the bones and swallow them.
So this time, let’s change two trotters. Two trotters should be quite a lot, right?
“Two pig trotters? Ah Chuan, are you too greedy? Everyone has more than a pound of meat. You divided two pig trotters? Do you have such a big face?” After hearing Zhang Chengchuan’s words, a middle-aged woman sneered.
“Captain, you can’t favor A Chuan just because his father is an accountant, two pigs’ trotters? He can’t be beautiful!” The middle-aged woman turned her head and said to the captain.
The captain said blankly, “A Chuan discovered the wild boar. What’s wrong with him giving him an extra pig’s trotter? Or, give A Chuan a pig’s trotter and give you the other?”
The middle-aged woman’s eyes widened when she heard this, “Captain, what do you mean? What kind of meat can a pig’s trotter have? I don’t want it! I have so many family members, what can a pig’s trotter do?”
“Then shut up, you know that pig trotters have no meat? What’s wrong with Ah Chuan asking for two?” The captain also glared at the middle-aged woman and handed the two pig trotters to Zhang Chengchuan.
The pig’s trotters are also the kind without elbows, and the two pig’s trotters are actually not that big. Although other people felt that two pig trotters were a bit too much, they were not willing to exchange pig trotters for meat from other parts.
Zhang Chengchuan took the pig’s trotters and went home with his daughter-in-law. He didn’t care what other people thought. The pig’s trotters were still delicious.
On the way home, Chen Xiayue was helpless when she saw the two pig trotters, “I originally planned to distribute some meat, so that the bacon we made would have a provenance. As a result, the pig trotters were divided, how to explain the bacon?”
“Secretly, don’t let the people on the team know about it.” Zhang Chengchuan said with a smile, “Take these two pig trotters back and stew them with some peanuts or soybeans, stew them for an afternoon, and eat them at night. It must be delicious.”
“Okay, as long as your parents don’t blame you for not changing the meat from other places, you have to change the pig’s trotters.” Chen Xiayue had no objection, and she was not short of meat.
Today, the brigade was very lively because we found this wild boar, and because there was not a lot of farm work, everyone went to the river to join in the fun, and now everyone is going to divide the meat.
After Zhang Deping and Liu Guiying returned home, they put their things down and went out to watch the fun again. When I saw Zhang Chengchuan and Chen Xiayue on the way over, they just said hello, saying that they were going to see the fun.
Zhang Chengchuan also told his parents that he had already allocated the meat, and they would just go to see the fun. There was no longer their family’s share of the meat.
Liu Guiying didn’t say anything and left happily. It is rare that it is so lively today, and Liu Guiying still wants to chat with her good sisters.
Chen Xiayue looked at the time and it was almost noon, and said as she walked towards the house, “What’s for lunch?”
“Eat something simple, just stir-fry some pickled cabbage and cucumbers.” Zhang Chengchuan said casually, the pig’s trotters have to be stewed for an afternoon, and they will definitely not be eaten at noon.
“Just a simple stir-fried pickled cabbage and cold cucumbers?” Chen Xiayue asked.
“It’s already very good, others don’t eat as well as ours.” Zhang Chengchuan said of course.
After getting married, his daughter-in-law has added something called the farm system, and the food level of their family has skyrocketed. Zhang Chengchuan almost forgot what their family ate back then.
Don’t look at the current conditions of Zhang’s family. When Zhang Chengchuan was young, he had suffered a lot, and there were times when he couldn’t eat enough or wear warm clothes.
At that time, Zhang Deping and Liu Guiying didn’t have much harvest, and they were trembling because of the war. After the liberation, Zhang Deping and the others were also allocated the land, but there was still no good harvest.
Later, Zhang Chengyue became a soldier, and Zhang Chengyu grew up and married, and the situation of the Zhang family gradually improved. However, even under the conditions of Zhang’s family, he was too hungry to bear it a few years ago.
Now that there is food and vegetables to eat, it is good to be full. You must know that there are many people in the brigade who are not full. Two meals a day, and one meal for six or seven cents is very good. One meal a day, one meal a day There are many people who are full.
There are many people in Yunhe Brigade, and the captain is also very good, but not everyone has a good life.
Although Zhang Chengchuan is tall and muscular, he is quite thin. It’s also because I didn’t have enough to eat before, and I didn’t grow much meat.
Now that Zhang Chengchuan has a little meat, it is still enough for Zhang Chengchuan to make up for three meals a day after Chen Xiayue came here.
Zhang Chengchuan also likes to eat meat, but he doesn’t think it’s bad to eat simple cucumber salad. With his wife’s craftsmanship, cold cucumber is also delicious.
Chen Xiayue didn’t speak. She really didn’t know much about the living standards of everyone in this era. The conditions of the Zhang family are good, and there are some people in the brigade who are doing well.
Chen Xiayue has not been in contact with more people because of the house, so she doesn’t know much about everyone’s food and clothing in this era.
Most of the chronological texts she read in the past would write that everyone was having a bad time, lacking materials and so on. But there doesn’t seem to be much writing about whether those people are very thin.
There are many people who wrote that people in the 1960s and 1970s did not have enough food and lived a hard life, but there are not many people who describe this in most of the chronology texts. They were very poor and could not get enough to eat.
