OBS Chapter 149 Pig Slaughter Feast
Chapter 149 Pig Slaughter Feast
When Xia Shiyu returned, she didn't look for any vegetables, just ordinary bok choy and lettuce, and brought back a large basket of them.
When she returned, she saw that the pig she had ordered had also been slaughtered, and Nuomi and Tudou were still licking the pig's blood on the ground.
These two have been in high spirits ever since they arrived, wagging their tails really high.
After all, they can eat a lot of good food at this time of year, and the villagers will not drive them away; they will even throw them a piece of good meat.
Xia Liu was surprised when Xia Shiyu arrived carrying a large basket of vegetables.
"Put it down quickly, put it down quickly. Why did you go back and bring so much food? This is enough to eat for several days."
Xia Shiyu placed the vegetables on the ground, saying, "What's the big deal? We can just leave them out and eat them for a couple more days."
She went back to get the groceries, and she certainly couldn't just bring back one or two; she'd bring back more so she could feel more at ease mooching off the food.
"Sigh, then go sit over there and have some fun. I'll use these vegetables to make pig's blood."
Xia Liu told Xia Shiyu to sit on the other side.
Xia Shiyu nodded, then ran to the side to watch the pig being slaughtered.
She watched as the butcher deftly cut the pork, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she became. There was quite a bit of lean meat in this pig; enough to make a lot of sausages.
Xia Shiyu was very satisfied with what he saw. After a while, once the meat was cut, Xia Lihua and Yu Juan packed it up and took it home.
"Fortunately, all the jars at home have been cleaned out. This shell needs to be stored properly, otherwise it would be a pity if it were accidentally eaten by a dog or cat."
Yu Juan gave her instructions.
"Don't worry, we'll weigh them down with stone benches." Xia Lihua got into the car, and Nuomi and Tudou tried to climb up with him, but Xia Shiyu pulled them down.
"You two shouldn't go and join in the fun. Let's eat together later."
"Woof woof woof," Potato watched the car drive away, drool still dripping from the corner of his mouth.
"You, you..." Xia Shiyu shook her head helplessly. This little glutton is always greedy.
When Xia Lihua drove the car back, Li Huaihai's family had already prepared the meal.
Xia Liu came out and called out, "Everyone, come in and eat!"
"Okay, let's eat, let's eat pork stew."
A group of people walked in together.
As soon as Xia Shiyu entered, she found that there were a lot of people inside. There were three tables set up, and the dishes were piled up to the brim.
Xia Shiyu casually found a table and sat down with her mother. While the men were drinking and bragging, they started eating right away.
Xia Shiyu glanced at the dish. Since it was a "pig-killing feast," it must have been made up of various parts of a pig.
Stir-fried pork liver, shredded pork with green peppers, spare ribs... and the cabbage and pork blood soup she looked forward to the most.
Xia Shiyu saw this dish and immediately scooped a bowlful with a spoon. She picked up a piece of cooked pig's blood, ate it, and felt that it tasted very good. The freshness and tenderness of it when it was just cooked was the best.
"It's so delicious!"
Hearing her praise, Yu Juan said, "I happen to have some at home, so I can just go back and cook it."
"Mmm," Xia Shiyu nodded nodding, immersed in the deliciousness of the pig's blood.
However, this cabbage and pig's blood soup also attracted many people, with many coming specifically for the cabbage.
Xia Liu took a bite and was very satisfied. "Indeed, pig's blood still needs to be paired with delicious bok choy. This combination is so delicious."
"It's delicious. After eating Shi Yu's dishes, everyone is craving them."
"It's good, this dish is so delicious, I'll mail some to my son and the others later."
"Oh, aren't you coming back for Chinese New Year this year?"
"Sigh, they're busy every year, and even when they come back, they can only stay for a few days, so I still have to mail it to them."
"That's true."
Xia Shiyu wasn't focused on chatting; her task for the day was to eat to her heart's content. Sure enough, fresh meat was different from old frozen meat. Whether it was psychological or something else, it tasted uniquely fresh.
She drank two large bowls of the pig's blood soup, and the cabbage soaked in pig's blood tasted much better.
After she finished eating, she waited by her parents' side. The two dogs darted around under the tables, managing to find a little food every now and then.
Xia Shiyu patted the two greedy children and told them that he could cook special meals for them when they got back.
The two dogs lay down and let everyone pet them. Xia Shiyu waited for a while, and then his mother came out. "Let's go. Your dad and the others will probably stay here for a while. Let's go back first."
Xia Shiyu glanced around and saw that her maternal grandfather and father had already joined the card table, and her maternal grandmother had also found a group of old ladies to chat with. Sure enough, it's more lively when there are more people.
"Okay, Mom, let's go first."
Xia Shiyu drove his tricycle back home with his mother and Nuomi Tudou.
Once home, Yu Juan got busy. "These meats need to be properly processed. Freeze what needs to be frozen and marinate what needs to be marinated."
“I can’t cut those bones, I’ll have your dad do it later.”
"Mom, no need, I can cut these in half." Xia Shiyu picked up a pig's trotter and nimbly chopped it in half with a cleaver.
"Wow, Xiaoyu, you're really strong now."
Xia Shiyu nodded, "Maybe it's because I'm doing farm work a lot now and eating very well, so I've become much stronger."
She actually wanted to say that it must be all thanks to those vegetables, including the fact that her mother's strength had definitely increased, but she herself hadn't noticed it.
"Okay, then, I'll help you out if you're here."
Yu Juan handed the task over to Xia Shiyu, while she went to cut the meat into pieces and vacuum pack it.
Xia Shiyu swung the knife with a loud clang, and the bones on the cutting board were quickly chopped into several pieces.
By the time everything was done, it was already evening, and the rest of the family had returned home.
Xia Lihua was very surprised, "Oh, you guys have almost finished your work, but we still came back to help."
"How long are you going to wait? My daughter and I will finish the work ourselves."
When Yu Juan saw that he had returned, she immediately handed over her work to Xia Lihua.
Grandma glanced at the time. "It's getting late. Let's make the sausages tomorrow morning. It's not convenient to do it now."
"Okay, let's do the enema tomorrow." Yu Juan also disliked enemas, mainly because it was troublesome. Fortunately, they now had an enema machine at home, which was much more convenient than before.
"Let's do it tomorrow, there's no rush."
Xia Shiyu felt there was no need to rush. Working overtime at night was too uncomfortable, and now that the weather was cold, it would be best to go back to bed and warm up as soon as possible.
"I'll get it done tomorrow, I'll leave these here for now."
Yu Juan finished processing the meat, covering up what needed to be covered.
