At this moment, Guangdan had basically ended his curiosity about Aunt Xingzi's affairs. Even though this incident had once given him a strong sense of suffocation, it was now over.

Fortunately, Aunt Xingzi is the daughter of a hunter. Even if she doesn't know how to hunt, she can do the basic work of peeling leather and sewing fur coats.

It seems that in any era, as long as people have a skill in their hands, they still have a way to make a living, right?

In a blink of an eye, it was time to slaughter the New Year pig in the twelfth lunar month. Linjia Village was located in the mountains and close to the river, and every household raised pigs. At the end of the year, the two hunters all turned into pig butchers.

In addition to slaughtering pigs, their more important task is to collect pork and then transport it to the town. Since almost every household has pigs, it is not an easy job.

Gouwei would bring his younger brothers with him and wait for the village to slaughter pigs to pull out the pig bristles. The villagers didn't know what they wanted these things for, as they would be thrown away anyway.

When the New Year pig is slaughtered, every household will eat the pig-slaughtering meal, but this has nothing to do with Guangdaner.

Because even if they were families with good relations, they would invite grandpa or Lin Daniu, and there would be no place for this kid like him.

So what he was most looking forward to was slaughtering a pig at home. He would not have to ask a hunter to come to his house to slaughter the pig. After all, the villagers also had to find an auspicious day to slaughter pigs.

On good days, people would line up to slaughter the New Year pig, so Fang Cuihua did it herself, but she still had to borrow the tools to slaughter the pig.

Fortunately, the hunters had spare supplies. In the end, the pork would be collected by them anyway, and there was no need to be polite to people from the same village.

The Lin family slaughters the New Year pig on the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month. Grandma Lin gets up early in the morning and starts burning yellow paper and doing various worship rituals in the yard.

For some reason Guangdan felt as if his grandmother was calling him back to his soul in the middle of the night!

Then, when the sun shines in the yard, we start to boil water. It takes basically half the morning to boil water for the two pigs at home.

Although the pigs are not particularly fat, they are the biggest achievement of their labor every year.

The village is close to the mountain so pig feed has never been a problem. Erya has been going to the back mountain to carry pig feed back every morning since she was a child.

Guangdan and his younger sister Taohua were responsible for chopping grass, cooking grass and feeding the pigs. The few children basically completed a day's work for the pigs.

Therefore, every time when it comes to slaughtering the New Year pig, the children in the family are particularly happy, after all, there are two pig heads alone!!!

The last time Guangdan saw oil and water was when he was hunting wild boars in the autumn, so when he saw the pigs with their skins scraped cleanly, large plates of braised pork appeared in front of him unknowingly!

"Mom, let's cook a bowl of braised pork tonight! The kind with fried sugar color!" Guangdan suggested beside Fang Cuihua with green eyes.

Fang Cuihua: ...

"Mom, our two pigs are so fat. Let's cut the meat from the pigs' faces and braise them tonight!" Guangdan felt that he would definitely be reluctant to give up the pork belly, but what about pig's head meat?

Fang Cuihua: ...

"Mom, let's add taro to the braised pork and make a pot!" There are many people in the family, and taro mixed with broth is also delicious!

"Mom, should we stir-fry the liver or make soup? Let's make soup, so everyone in the family can have a bowl!"

"mother……"

"mother……"

"If you say one more word, I'll throw you out!" Fang Cuihua, unable to bear it any longer, turned around and slapped Guangdan, who was still nagging about eating meat.

After carefully dodging his mother's big pen bag, Guangdan immediately shut up. Oh, I'm so greedy!

"Tsk tsk tsk." Erya came over and touched Guangdan's forehead with her hand, shaking her head like a fool.

"What are you doing! Are you still my most beloved and most beautiful second sister?" Guangdan puffed up his face, feeling that he was being laughed at.

Erya pulled the people aside and pointed at the large wooden basin in front of Second Aunt and Taohuaer and said, "Look, where is this pig's head? We are going to keep it for the ancestor worship in a few days. The pig's head that mother is still processing has been reserved. Where are you going to get the pig's face meat?"

Yes, at this time in the twelfth lunar month before the Chinese New Year, every household has to worship their ancestors, and the pig's head is the most honorable tool for worshiping them.

In other words, no one can eat it before the ancestors have eaten it!

Guangdaner counted on his fingers: "Today is only eighteen, it's too early to worship the ancestors!!!"

"Just freeze it. Anyway, no matter how much meat it has, it won't go bad in this cold weather." Erya said indifferently.

She didn't even think about eating braised pork; she felt satisfied just drinking the hot pork liver soup.

The brother and sister kept whispering and commenting on the pig for a while, and finally Guangdan became ambitious about the breeding business again.

"Second sister, after the New Year, let's raise more chickens and ducks, and pick up snails to raise! We'll eat them when they're fat in a few months!!!" Guangdan said as he imagined that the mountains and fields were full of his chickens, ducks and geese.

"Raise more? Haha, you are very diligent?" Arya rolled her eyes. After saying such things, she would probably be the one doing the work in the end. Haha, younger brother, haha.

Guangdaner didn't give up and whispered in Erya's ear: "I still have money, let's raise some chickens together. Even if we don't want to eat chickens, we can still eat the eggs."

He had already thought about it. Growing herbs is a long-term livelihood and needs to be done step by step, but breeding is different. Basically, the results can be seen in a few months.

This kind of business with small investment, low cost and quick return is especially suitable for people like him who have little money!

Erya's eyes rolled around, and she tiptoed and pulled Guangdan'er into the main room. The two of them started whispering in an empty corner.

Although she thought that what her silly brother said was a bit far-fetched, there was nothing wrong with giving it a try. After all, she basically didn't care about raising chickens. They just raised a few little ones and dug earthworms and caught insects.

"We hatch all our chicks ourselves, and the number of eggs is fixed." Erya felt that the chickens at home were basically controlled by her grandmother, and it was really difficult for her to operate them.

"But we want not only chickens, we also need ducks and geese. Geese are okay if we don't have pigs. We can just buy eggs and go to the village to exchange them for ducklings." Guangdan naturally knew that his grandmother now regarded chickens as her life, so it was impossible to seize power from her.

"Then when we have free time, let's build a few nests with bamboo sticks and wood together with big brother?" Arya asked uncertainly.

She suddenly remembered the master in the temple's previous evaluation of Guangdan, and for a moment she felt that Guangdan was indeed different from herself.

Guangdan seemed to be more daring in his thoughts. Just like now, Guangdan didn't even consider whether their mother would break their legs when she found out that they had secretly exchanged ducklings and chickens back!

Guangdan: Take a chance, the bicycle can become a motorcycle! Young people, where has your adventurous spirit gone!!!

At this moment, Guangdan's mind was filled with roast chicken, roast duck and cured pork. What? Broken legs? He would eat it even if it was broken!!!
