Female Farming Pond Fish

Before I got to the place, I heard the pigs screaming.

Tian Yu was startled, and Chi Xiaotong held his hand to comfort him. Tian Yu was held by Chi Xiaotong and Chen Chengshan on both sides. He was no longer afraid, and smiled at Chi Xiaotong, indicating that he was fine.

Chi Xiaotong then followed Chen Chengyu in to see if she could help.

Chi Xiaotong had never seen a pig being slaughtered before. She was nervous and excited. She followed Chen Chengyu forward.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw quite a few people inside. The pigs had been caught and their feet were being tied up.

"Xiaotong is here! Come over and give me a hand!" When Chen's mother saw Chi Xiaotong, she unceremoniously called her over to help.

"Here they come!" Chi Xiaotong and Chen Chengyu pushed aside the people who were surrounding them.

"Here, each of you press one foot!" Chen's mother ordered.

Chi Xiaotong tried to grab it first. The pig's leg moved, which scared Chi Xiaotong, and she withdrew her hand instantly.

Chen Chengyu has already held one down! He freed his hands to grab this one and said to Chi Xiaotong, "Never done it before? It's okay, just hold it down!"

Chi Xiaotong nodded. She had indeed never done it. She gritted her teeth and reached out to hold down the pig's foot.

Before, Chi Xiaotong always acted like an adult. Although she was only a few months older than Chen Chengyu, she was very steady and often treated Chen Chengyu like a child.

This was the first time Chen Chengyu saw Chi Xiaotong so timid and cowardly. He tried hard not to laugh out loud.

Chi Xiaotong saw it, but there was nothing she could do. She was indeed a little scared, and she couldn't refute it. She rolled her eyes at her and stopped looking at her.

Chen Chengyu almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

The person next to him took a rope and tied up the pig's feet. With the two feet tied together, the pig couldn't struggle. Chi Xiaotong breathed a sigh of relief and tried to pretend to be calm.

Chen Chengyu nudged her with his elbow and asked in a low voice, "Are you really scared?"

Chi Xiaotong also lowered her voice and replied: "No, it's just the first time I met you!"

Chen Chengyu didn't know whether he believed it or not, so he comforted her, "It's okay, there are so many people here! We won't let it run away, and it won't hurt anyone!"

Chi Xiaotong looked at her and said, "I know, it's okay!"

"Can you kill the pig then? If not, I'll go and tell mom!" Chen Chengyu asked.

Chi Xiaotong thought for a moment and said, "I can help, but I can't do anything else!"

"Okay, we'll just help. The main force is my mother, aunt and my sister!" Chen Chengyu said, pointing at a few people.

These people were all from the same village, so they were familiar to each other. They were Chen's mother's sisters and their children. There were also a few unfamiliar faces.

Chi Xiaotong looked around and saw Tian Yu being pulled by Chen Chengyu, watching the fun. She felt relieved! With Chen Chengshan following her, she felt relieved.

Everything is ready, it's time to start slaughtering the pig!

Chi Xiaotong followed behind Chen Chengyu, and the two of them pressed down the hind legs together. There was also someone beside them, pressing together, to prevent the pig from suddenly breaking free and running away due to pain when being slaughtered.

There was someone in front of him, so Chi Xiaotong couldn't see it completely. He could only see a little through the gap. He could only feel for a moment that the pig under his hand suddenly began to struggle violently. Then it slowly "relaxed".

After it was over, Chi Xiaotong walked around to the front and saw a basin of pig blood.

The next step is to remove the hair from the pigs. In this era, the tools were not complete. The only way was to remove the hair manually after scalding with hot water.

After helping to carry a few buckets of hot water, Chi Xiaotong stood aside and watched.

Chi Xiaotong followed behind Chen's mother, and both she and Chen Chengyu got the chance to do it. It was quite strenuous, and it really wouldn't work if you didn't know how to do it.

Chen Chengshan brought Tian Yu over. Tian Yu hid behind Chi Xiaotong, not daring to look. One hand was held by Chen Chengshan, and the other hand was holding the hem of Chi Xiaotong's clothes.

Chi Xiaotong held his hand and whispered to him, "It's okay, don't look if you're afraid!"

"Yeah," Tian Yu lowered his head, afraid that Chi Xiaotong couldn't see it, so he said in a low voice.

Chen Chengshan was quite courageous. He was not afraid at all when watching the slaughtering of pigs and cutting of meat. It might be because his family slaughtered pigs every year. He was used to it!

After taking a look, he found it boring, so he dragged Tian Yu to the kitchen! The pork was almost cut, and it was time to start the pig-killing dish. He had to go to the kitchen to help, otherwise his father would call him.

Tian Yu followed, but he didn't know anyone. Following Chi Xiaotong, he would face a group of women. It would be better to go to the kitchen with him.

The pig blood has already been taken to the kitchen! Cut the meat into large pieces, some will be cooked today and shared, and some will be left behind.

Some families raise pigs so that they can make bacon from the pork after slaughtering the pigs and keep it for the next year.

The family was not well-off, and their meat for the whole year depended on this pig. They had to keep the meat and squeeze out the oil, so they didn't want to waste any of it.

Even if you don't know how to cook the internal organs, you won't throw them away. Even if they don't taste good, they still have the smell of meat!

The Chen family was well off. They didn't eat the internal organs they didn't know how to process, nor did they throw them away.

When Chen's mother slaughtered the New Year pig, in addition to inviting people from her own family, she would also invite people from the village who had a good relationship with her family and whose families were not well off.

Those things would be given to them. As for her own family, she would give them a piece of meat. Her family was not bad, so they didn't have to rely on this pig for a year to eat meat.

Put away the meat you want to keep, and throw the rest directly into the big pot to cook. Today, I specially set up a big pot in the yard.

Father Chen was in the kitchen, cutting pickled cabbage. Chen Chengshan and Tian Yu were helping him. There were also several other men helping out.

Chen's mother also had some free time, so she took Chen Chengyu and Chi Xiaotong aside and introduced some unfamiliar people to them.

This one is called what, that one is called what. Anyway, Chen Chengyu called the other party what he wanted Chi Xiaotong to call him.

Someone secretly asked Chen's mother what happened to Chi Xiaotong, and Chen's mother told the truth.

Chen's mother asked her, "Do you really treat her as a family member?"

Mother Chen smiled: "Yes! This girl is good!"

"So you didn't get a godparent or something?"

"Oh, I really didn't think about it!"

"You're already such a grown-up! You don't even understand this! People's hearts are hidden in their stomachs! Don't be so open with them! They will take you for a fool!"

"No, she is not that kind of person!" Chen's mother was sure.

"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that you are not related to her in any way and you treat her like your own daughter! It's not appropriate!" Chen's mother's eldest sister reminded.

"Yeah, I'm just afraid that someone will gossip!" The villagers are gossipy and I'm afraid that some gossip will be spread!

"I'll think about this!" Chen's mother thought.

Chen's mother and elder sister just gave a reminder and didn't say anything more.
