After she became the brother of the male protagonist in the imperial examination, she became the spo

That’s right, at this stage of Goudan’s learning, the biggest task was actually to memorize. The reason why Goudan could still understand it was because the teacher felt that he had a high talent and understanding, so he gave him special lessons.

I originally thought that memorizing these classical Chinese texts would be extremely difficult for me, but after trying for a few days, I found that it was much easier than I thought.

Perhaps it was because his young brain had a good memory, which led to Guangdan sometimes wondering whether he really had some talent for studying.

But looking at Goudan again, Goudan can basically recite an article after reading it twice, and although he is very satisfied with himself, he still has to read it five, six, seven or eight times. Thinking about it this way, he really is too confident!

Just say it, how can there be so many young geniuses in the world? ?

But Guangdan didn't think so. As he spent more and more time with his second brother these days, he felt that his second brother was a talented person with great potential!

Because when he discussed the same content with his classmates in the private school, no matter whether they were older or younger, few could follow his ideas. But Guangdan was different. Basically, Guangdan could follow his ideas.

This made Guangdan very happy.

He even happily told the private school teacher about this matter, but the private school teacher had too deep an impression of Guangdan before. Now he felt that even though this boy was extremely intelligent, his mind was not on studying.

Are there few smart people in the world?

Quite a few, but not every smart person can read good books, right?

The most basic requirement for studying is to concentrate on the content. In my opinion, Guangdan is unable to do this.

Although Goudan felt a little disappointed for not getting the affirmation from his husband, he quickly recovered.

There is even a feeling of secret joy that I am the only one in the world who knows about my second brother!

(What's wrong with this kid???)

After a long wait, the twelfth lunar month finally arrived. After entering the twelfth lunar month, the whole Linjia Village was filled with the atmosphere of the New Year. Basically, except for those who were working outside and had not yet returned home, everyone else was happily preparing for the New Year at home.

The Lin family also started slaughtering pigs on the second day of the twelfth lunar month. They would slaughter one of the two fat pigs in the family first, and the rest would be slaughtered on the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Now that there is a butchering knife at home, Fang Cuihua no longer needs to borrow a knife from the hunter. It only takes a few minutes to kill a pig.

But according to custom, the ancestor worship ceremony began in the Lin family's yard before dawn on the second day of the twelfth lunar month.

Killing a pig is a big event for farmers. Burning incense and paper in the morning is a must. After asking the ancestors for breakfast, the kitchen starts to boil water.

This fat pig weighs two or three hundred pounds. Because Fang Cuihua wanted to slaughter the pig, the task of controlling the pig had to be done by Lin Daniu and his men. Now that there were few people in the family, Lin Daniu called over the cousins ​​from my great-grandfather's family, and they carried the big black pig to the yard and held it down.

Then Fang Cuihua started cutting the pig with her knife as the pig screamed. Grandma Lin collected the pig's blood in a wooden bucket and was busy in the yard.

Guangdan and Goudan are responsible for coaxing the two babies at home. After all, babies can be easily frightened by these things.

After the pig was completely dead, several people carried it directly into the large wooden barrel for soaking pigs. This wooden barrel was made by Fang Erlangzi using the extra wood at home. After putting the pig in, they used a ladle to scoop boiling water to scald the pig's hair.

It is more convenient to scrape the softened pig hair with a knife, and the area was filled with people watching the fun.

The villagers were simply curious about how much the pig weighed and how to eat the pig-killing meal.

Besides, the news that the Lin family was getting better off had spread far and wide, and now whenever the Lin family had any small matter, everyone would come to join in the fun, as if they were worried about missing out on any opportunity for the Lin family to get rich.

While his mother and the others were scraping the pig's hair, Guangdan had already taken out the braised pork buns that had been prepared in the kitchen.

Everyone in the village now knows that Lin Erniu and his wife sell braised food in the county town, so they took the opportunity of this pig-slaughtering dinner to prepare some for the villagers to taste.

Firstly, it is to thank the village for its help to the Lin family in all aspects in the past few years.

Secondly, it is also secretly telling some people that this braised meat is not something that anyone can sell. Try their craftsmanship first, and don’t make it seem like anyone can go to the county town to sell braised food!

According to Grandpa Lin, the villagers want the Lin family to live well, but they don’t want the Lin family to live better than themselves.

Although the Lin family's house looks ordinary now from the perspective of their yard, everyone with a discerning eye knows that the Lin family has risen, so the villagers have mixed feelings.

There are those who sigh, those who envy, those who covet, and those who are jealous. Basically, there are all kinds of people.

Grandma Lin was very dissatisfied with Guangdan's idea of ​​making braised pork, but the old lady wanted to show off in front of the villagers, so she agreed. But the old lady decided that she would be the chef today, and she had to show off!

Grandma was naturally happy to sell all the eggs, and while everyone wasn't paying attention, she took Erya to the backyard to catch ducks.

Although Guangdan thought that braising the duck was a 100% success, Erya was still a little uneasy and insisted on trying it first, lest the duck be taken to the county town and then have to be brought back if the braised duck could not be sold.

Erya is afraid that her duck will be tortured to death!

So the brother and sister decided to braise the duck while they were braising the meat today.

Of course it is not a dish for butchering pigs, but it can be braised and enjoyed by the family in the evening.

So when Grandma Lin saw a bald duck, the brother and sister were still grinning.

The old lady continued to mutter for a while, and then just let the children come. After all, her words would fall on deaf ears, and she already knew it.

Forget it, forget it. I don’t have to be the boss. Let’s eat. Let’s eat together!

Although the old lady is still very frugal now, she often eats with a puff of anger, as if she could irritate others if she eats more!

It took a full hour to slaughter the pig. After the pig was slaughtered, Lin Daniu greeted the villagers and asked them to come with their bowls of food in the evening to eat the slaughtered pig dish, and only then did the crowd disperse.

This pig weighs 280 kilograms, which is considered fat among the New Year pigs. After all, these pigs only eat pig grass, without the hormones and feed of later generations.

Following Guangdan's suggestion, Fang Cuihua decided not to sell the pig. In addition to pickling some bacon, she also gave some meat away as favors. Finally, the rest was sent to the county town to the second brother and his wife.

At this time, the temperature is about ten degrees below zero. The pork can be frozen and eaten until after the New Year without worrying about it going bad.

The Lin family’s pig-killing dishes this time are far superior to all the previous pig-killing dishes in the village. This time it is not sauerkraut stewed with meat, but real braised food. Although it is just some pork heads and offal, it is also pure meat!

There is nothing else in it except some dried tofu and soaked tofu. Although the portion is a little small, basically everyone has no complaints.

After all, who has the nerve to think that others have to give them a whole bowl of meat?
