Alpine Orchard - Chapter 161

[Chapter 161 The winter solstice, the pig was killed 【Subscription, monthly pass】]

Go back to Xiaomian’s house.

Xiaomian’s mother went to make their beds.

Xiao Mian’s father turned on the TV in the living room, made two cups of tea and came over: “Wang Rong’s family is killing pigs tomorrow, right?”

“Yeah.” Ye Mo nodded.

“Three pigs, have you booked yet?”

“Yes.” Ye Mo said.

“Are your parents free tomorrow? Tell them to come over and play.” Xiao Mian’s father said with a smile, “Didn’t you order three pigs, so you can take one pig’s offal and make a pig-killing feast.”

Ye Mo Nodding his head: “My parents should be free, I’ll call and ask.”

Ye Mo called his father, and when he heard that Xiao Mian’s father called them to come and play, he happily agreed.

Lin Xiaomian and her mother were laying the sheets.

“How much did you spend to play in Beihai?” Xiao Mian’s mother asked.

“Not much.” Lin Xiaomian said.

“Not much, how much?”

“More than ten thousand.” Lin Xiaomian curled her neck and stuck out her tongue.

“Spending so much money…” Xiaomian’s mother glared at her: “I want to go out to play, but I don’t know where to find a place closer.”

Lin Xiaomian giggled and whispered: “Ye Mo can make money. Besides Yes , I can earn money by driving an excavator…”

“You, it’s better to save a little. Your dad and I are building houses for people now, and we can only earn 10,000 yuan a month. It’s not easy to make money, but you can save it. Just save some money.”

“Got it.”

Ye Mo watched TV with Xiao Mian’s father for a while.

Lin Xiaomian boiled hot water, came over and shouted, “Dad, don’t you burn your feet?”

“Hot.”

Lin Xiaomian made two pots of hot water, one was for his parents, the other was for Ye Mo and Lin Xiaomian.

Wash your face first, then burn your feet.

This water can scald pigskin.

At Ye Mo’s house, people basically don’t burn their feet at night, they just go to bed after taking a bath.

Their side… Although the distance is not much, the climate is completely different.

I burned my feet and went back to the bedroom.

Lin Xiaomian brought a set of pajamas for Ye Mo: “My mother bought it for you.”

Ye Mo smiled and changed into pajamas and shrank into the bed. The quilt is cold, and it’s a bit refreshing… It’s so cold, my teeth are chattering.

Lin Xiaomian also shrank in and turned off the light.

After a while, the quilt warmed up.

“What were you talking about with my dad in the living room just now?” Lin Xiaomian squeezed into Ye Mo’s arms and asked.

Ye Mo held her in his arms and said, “We will have a pig slaughter tomorrow.”

“Where will we do it?”

“Your house.” Ye Mo said with a smile, “My parents haven’t been here yet, come here Let’s go.”

“Oh.” Lin Xiaomian said, taking out his mobile phone.

“Stop playing with your phone and go to bed early. Otherwise, you won’t be able to get up tomorrow morning…”

… the

next day.

Not long after dawn, Ye Mo heard Xiao Mian’s mother go into the kitchen to make breakfast.

Waiting for Xiaomian’s father to wake up, Ye Mo shook Lin Xiaomian: “It’s dawn.”

Lin Xiaomian was sleeping soundly, and said ‘hmm’ twice, then there was no movement. She played with her mobile phone until midnight last night…

Ye Mo ignored her, got up, changed his clothes, and went out: “Uncle, ma’am.” The

two responded.

Xiaomian’s mother’s breakfast is almost ready: “Has Lin Xiaomian woke up?”

“Wake up.” Ye Mo said and went back to the room, stretched his hand into the bed, pressed the two soft sides, and whispered: “Get up quickly. If you don’t get up again, your mother will be angry again.”

Lin Xiaomian opened her eyes : “Breakfast is ready?”

“It’s almost ready.”

Lin Xiaomian reluctantly got up, put on her clothes, and went out with messy hair, looking like she was not awake.

“I know how to sleep late all day long.” Xiao Mian’s mother looked at her angrily.

Lin Xiaomian blinked vigorously, went over to fetch hot water, and washed her face: “It’s winter, I have nothing to do, why do I get up so early.”

“Eat breakfast, go to Wang Rong’s house, and help press the pig.” Xiaomian’s mother said: ” Can you be more diligent every day, you are already an adult, and you are still like a child all day.” In the

morning, there is an egg soup, as well as fried rapeseed and potato shreds.

While I was eating, I heard the hooting of pigs in the distance.

“I started slaughtering pigs so early.” Lin Xiaomian said while eating.

“It’s eight o’clock, and you’re the only one who thinks it’s early.”

After dinner.

Ye Mo and the others went to Wang Rong’s house…

It was foggy again today, the fog was hazy, and visibility was extremely low.

Wang Rong’s house is a courtyard house with a bamboo forest outside.

This early in the morning, there are more people in the bamboo forest, and they are killing pigs here.

In the bamboo forest, there are temporary earthen pigs, as well as special platforms and shelves for shaving and bleeding pigs.

“Xiao Mian, Ye Mo.” Wang Rong was watching the butcher, and when she saw them coming, she called out, “Third Uncle, Third Aunt.”

They nodded.

“Your son-in-law is here.” A tall and thin man shouted.

Lin Shan nodded with a smile, and said to Ye Mo, “This is Wang Rong’s father…you should call him Fourth Uncle.”

“Fourth Uncle.” Ye Mo shouted.

Wang Jian responded with a smile.

Xiao Mian’s father introduced other people to Ye Mo…

Ye Mo then took out cigarettes and handed each of them one.

A big fat pig has been slaughtered, followed by a second one… Both of them have been reserved by people from the same village.

Ye Mo and the others came earlier, and from the third start, it was Ye Mo and the others.

Butcher the pig, let the blood out…follow it up, shave it…then hang it on the rack, and then process it.

The pig butcher is from their village. He looks about fifty years old and is a professional pig butcher.

The professional pig butcher… has lost his job.

Now there are special slaughterhouses for killing pigs. Moreover, in the current rural areas, most households no longer raise pigs.

Fifteen years ahead, the families in the countryside, not to mention every household, at least 70% to 80%… Push forward another 20 years…Based on Ye Mo’s knowledge, it seems that every household has pigs.

Anyway, Ye Mo remembered that when they were young, every household had pigs.

When Ye Mo was in elementary school and junior high school, he would go out to hunt pigweed after school.

Up to now, there are not many families raising pigs in rural areas.

In some places it is not allowed to raise pigs.

However, their side, including the former Dongmen Town, did not prohibit raising pigs… But there are very few people who raise pigs.

In Changzhu Village, there is no prohibition on raising pigs, but it seems that no one has seen anyone raising pigs. Even if there is, most farm pigs eat feed.

The big fat pigs in Wang Rong’s family are all fed grass fodder, sweet potatoes, and corn bran. They have been raised after the Chinese New Year and have been raised until now…

their family has a special pig shed in the bamboo forest next to the house. The pig shed should be able to raise 20 to 30 pigs, but now there are only 9 big fat pigs. The other pigs should have been sold in advance.

Now these pigs weigh about 300 catties. People who have raised pigs should know that it is most cost-effective to sell pigs when they are in the early 200 catties.

It’s not worth raising three hundred catties.

These are big fat pigs that were saved for the New Year, and they were all ordered by people nearby, so they only raised about 300 catties. Such a big fat pig is delicious, but the price is more expensive than the meat on the market.
