Chapter 115: Freshly Killed and Cooked Delicious Food

"Master, how about letting my junior brother do the cutting later, and I'll help him from the side!"

"Row!"

When Xu Guangshou heard what Wang Yongliang said, he immediately nodded with satisfaction and agreed, "Then I'll let you see your junior brother's knife skills later!"

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, then said, "Well, don't worry, I won't take this job for nothing. I'll make up for it with another job for you later!"

"no, I'm fine!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yongliang quickly waved his hand and said, "As a senior brother, I should take good care of my junior brother. You don't have to find me a new job."

"Besides, if you hadn't been so kind as to accept me as your useless disciple, I would have starved to death long ago."

"I will never forget your kindness in my life."

"Don't even mention asking me to do this one job. Even if you ask me to do ten jobs, I will be willing to do it."

"Really?"

Xu Guangshou was delighted, and then he nodded quickly and said, "Then let me thank you on behalf of your junior brother!"

Wang Yongliang: “.”

"okay!"

Xu Guangshou was amused when he saw Wang Yongliang's constipated face. He quickly waved his hand and said, "I was just joking with you. Why are you so nervous?"

"Don't worry! I won't let you live that long. You've been with me for so many years. When have you ever seen me take advantage of my apprentice?"

"Also, don't think that you will suffer any loss if you give this job to your junior brother. Your junior brother is well-known for his kindness and generosity. You will understand when you spend more time with him!"

"Let's go! Let's go talk to your Captain Wang about this first, and let your junior brother kill the pig first."

After saying that, he walked up to Wang Fuxiang with a somewhat ashamed and grateful Wang Yongliang and talked about asking Li Guoqiang to kill the pig.

When Wang Fuxiang heard this, he nodded and agreed without thinking.

Although he didn't know how good Li Guoqiang's pig-killing skills were, at least Xu Guangshou was watching him!
Therefore, he doesn't need to worry about anything.

Soon, he had the fat pig tied to two long benches, and then walked aside, waiting quietly with everyone else to watch Li Guoqiang slaughter the pig.

Seeing this, Xu Guangshou hurriedly pulled Li Guoqiang to the side of the big fat pig and carefully explained the tricks of slaughtering the pig.

Then, after making sure that Li Guoqiang had no questions, he quickly walked aside, leaving Li Guoqiang alone to face the big fat pig.

Looking at the big fat pig's frightened eyes, Li Guoqiang held a sharp knife in one hand and pressed the big fat pig's head with the other hand. Then, taking advantage of the moment when the big fat pig was dazed, he stabbed the knife into the big fat pig's neck, then twisted it hard and quickly pulled it out.

The next moment, a stream of bright red pig blood gushed out from the blade like a faucet that had been opened, and then spilled into a large earthenware basin on the ground.

The whole process takes less than 3 seconds, and the key words are fast, accurate and ruthless.

Then, before the fat pig could react, Li Guoqiang pressed hard on its chest and abdomen several times, as if he was performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on it.

The big fat pig's eyes widened, and then he instantly fell into a state of shock.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang immediately loosened his hand and let the remaining blood in the fat pig's body slowly flow out from the cut.

When the pig's blood was drained, the big fat pig died without knowing it, and it hardly felt any pain during the whole process.

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but reveal a look of admiration.

Wang Fuxiang, in particular, praised Xu Guangshou on the spot: "Master Xu, your disciple's skills are really amazing. I haven't seen anyone slaughter a pig so neatly and quickly for a long time."

"Ha ha!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Guangshou couldn't help but burst into laughter with joy on his face. Then he quickly waved his hand, signaling Xu Yuchang and Wang Yongliang to go forward and carry away the pig blood, and to help Li Guoqiang get boiling water to scald the pig hair.

Soon, Xu Yuchang and Wang Yongliang carried the pig's blood aside, then went to get a large bucket of boiling water and poured it on the big fat pig one spoonful at a time. Soon, billowing white steam rose up.

Li Guoqiang took a small knife and when he saw that the cooking was almost done, he immediately reached out and grabbed the pig's ears. Then he placed the knife on the pig's head and scraped all the way to the pig's tail. In a short while, he had scraped the entire pig's back, chest and abdomen clean.

Then he went on to shave the nose, ears, limbs and tail.

The whole set of movements is as smooth as flowing water, which is pleasing to the eye.

Not long after, when everyone came to their senses, they found that the big fat pig, which was originally covered with sideburns, had become completely naked, as if it had been scrubbed in a bathhouse.

Then, Li Guoqiang grabbed the pig's ears, held its head horizontally in the air, and then he gripped a machete tightly and chopped down hard on the pig's neck.

In an instant, the pig's neck was split into two, revealing the light red pork.

Li Guoqiang put the pig's head in a basket beside him, then changed the meat knife, grabbed the pig's thigh, turned the belly of the big fat pig over, and directly gutted it.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, he used one hand to take a knife to peel off the mucous membrane between the organs, and with the other hand he kept pulling out the pig's internal organs. After a while, he had emptied the pig's stomach.

Looking at the steaming fresh pig offal in the basket, everyone couldn't help swallowing.

Li Guoqiang didn't care about everyone's reaction at this time. He just changed to a machete and cut the fat pig into two.

Then, he was seen holding a small knife in his hand and scraping the fat pig, taking out pieces of pork and bones.

There is basically no meat on the bones, and even a dog would cry when seeing it.

But this is a very good thing for everyone.

After all, the less meat attached to the bones, the more meat can be shared among them. At the same time, there is no need to worry about the bones being difficult to divide. There is not much meat anyway, so it doesn't matter which bone they get.

"Changzi, did Qiangzi really only learn swordsmanship from your father for one day? Why do I feel like he can be my master?"

Wang Yongliang looked at the bare bones with a look of shock on his face, and then he couldn't help but ask a question.

Xu Yuchang didn't say anything when he heard this, because he found that Li Guoqiang's swordsmanship had become much more powerful than when he dissected the big black bear before, and he left him far behind.

This made him feel a little depressed, but also a little impressed.

Perhaps, this is the swordsmanship genius that Xu Guangshou has been talking about!

Before long, Li Guoqiang cut the whole fat pig into pieces of pork and bones. According to the local custom of slaughtering pigs for the New Year, he cut a piece of the fattest pork belly for himself and gave it to Wang Fuxiang to weigh. When everyone saw that the pork belly was exactly 2 jin 6 liang 7 qian, they were all impressed by Li Guoqiang's superb knife skills and began to look at Li Guoqiang with enthusiasm.

If we were to talk about the most popular profession in the countryside these days, butcher would definitely be one of the most popular.

After all, as long as someone raises pigs, they will definitely have to hire a butcher to slaughter the pigs.

Especially for those families who slaughter pigs for wedding, they have to ask the butcher to cut a piece of pork with an even weight and auspicious weight to be used to welcome the bride, commonly known as "Li Niang Rou".

Since the meat can only be cut with one knife, the butcher's knife skills are required to be very high.

Therefore, in order to ensure that a piece of qualified Li Niang meat can be cut, people will choose to invite the local butcher with the best knife skills.

The reason why Xu Guangshou had such a high status was not only because most of the butchers in the surrounding area were his disciples, but the most important reason was that he was the only one who could cut out eight pounds, eight ounces and eight cents of Li Niang meat with one knife.

Now, Li Guoqiang has used his own strength to break Xu Guangshou's monopoly and become the second person who can cut out 8.82 pounds of Li Niang meat with one knife.

This alone is enough to make everyone pay attention to him.

Soon, on behalf of the Wangjiatun Production Team, Wang Fuxiang took the 2-pound (6-pound) piece of pork belly back to Li Guoqiang as a reward for killing the pig, and also had someone take a large piece of pig blood, a pork bone and a large kidney as a reward.

When Li Guoqiang reached out to take these things, his storage space suddenly had an extra 26 jin of pork belly, 7 large chunks of pig blood, 10 pork shank bones and 10 large kidneys, with a value of at least 10 yuan, which was equivalent to one month's salary for an ordinary worker.

So, without even thinking about it, he handed the piece of pork belly in his hand to Xu Guangshou, then said with a laugh: "Master, please accept this piece of meat. It's a token of my appreciation for you."

"Row!"

Seeing this, Xu Guangshou's old face suddenly smiled like a chrysanthemum, and then he nodded hurriedly and said, "Since it is a token of your kindness, I won't be polite to you!"

After saying that, he reached out to take the meat, took a closer look at it, and then stuffed it into Wang Yongliang's hand.

"Hey, Master, what are you doing?"

Wang Yongliang was slightly stunned, then quickly asked a question.

"okay!"

Xu Guangshou waved his hand, and then said in a deep voice: "You can take this meat! You are not like before, you still have a wife and children to support at home. It's enough for you to let your junior brother practice the work."

"I"

When Wang Yongliang heard Xu Guangshou mention his wife and children at home, he swallowed the words he wanted to refuse.

indeed!

Although he had the skill of slaughtering pigs, and since the beginning of winter this year, he had helped people slaughter seven or eight pigs and earned more than 20 kilograms of meat, but he basically exchanged all the meat for money and tickets to help supplement his family income.

Originally he had told his wife and children that all the meat earned from today's work would be saved for New Year's Eve, so that they could make sauerkraut pork dumplings to satisfy their cravings. But suddenly he ran into Xu Guangshou and his younger apprentice brother coming over.

Therefore, in order to repay his gratitude, he could only take the initiative to give the job to Li Guoqiang.

However, he did not expect that Xu Guangshou would eventually give him the meat so that he could fulfill his promise to his wife and children.

This made him feel deeply moved, and at the same time he respected his master Xu Guangshou even more.

"Big Brother, thank you for letting me practice this job. This is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it!"

When Li Guoqiang saw Xu Guangfu giving the meat to Wang Yongliang, he hurriedly reached into his pocket, took out a national food coupon with a face value of ten kilograms from his pocket and handed it over.

"No, I can't take this!"

Wang Yongliang was slightly stunned, then quickly waved his hand and refused.

"What's wrong with this?"

Li Guoqiang raised his eyebrows, and then advised seriously: "Big Brother, if you still recognize me as your junior brother, then you should take this national food coupon!"

"This"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yongliang turned his head and looked at Xu Guangshou with some embarrassment.

"Why are you looking at me?"

Xu Guangshou rolled his eyes, then said unhappily, "This is a matter between you two brothers. It's up to you to decide whether to accept it or not."

"okay!"

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang quickly reached out and stuffed the ticket into Wang Yongliang's pocket, then laughed and said, "We are all brothers from the same school, so don't be so polite to me. I'm counting on you to recommend more jobs to me in the future!"

"That"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yongliang hurriedly glanced at Xu Guangshou. When he saw that Xu Guangshou did not raise any objections, he nodded seriously and agreed, "Okay! If I come across any work suitable for you in the future, I will introduce it to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Fuxiang came over and invited them to go to the room next to the pigpen to eat pork soup.

Moreover, he specially invited Xu Guangfu and Li Guoqiang to sit on the kang, obviously recognizing Li Guoqiang's strength from the bottom of his heart.

After a while, someone brought a large pot of steaming pork soup and a plate of golden and crispy cornmeal cakes. The fresh and tempting aroma could be smelled from a long distance away.

At Wang Fuxiang's invitation, Li Guoqiang didn't hesitate and quickly picked up the bowl and took a sip of the pork soup.

In an instant, his tongue was enveloped by the spiciness of the pepper and the sweetness of the pork offal, causing him to squint his eyes slightly, revealing a very comfortable look.

You know, the pigs that were raised on coarse grains and pig grass back then were not comparable to the pigs that were raised on feed in later generations.

What's more, the meat is killed and cooked right away, and the main focus is on its original flavor. It does not require any superb cooking skills. You can make a delicious dish using the simplest cooking methods.

After tasting the delicious soup, he hurriedly picked up the chopsticks, picked up a rice sausage and put it into his mouth. Then he took a light bite and a stream of soft, sweet juice burst out, making his tongue and body and mind feel satisfied.

good to eat!

Really delicious!
one more bowl!
Before long, the big pot of pork offal soup was empty and no soup was left.

After eating and drinking their fill, Li Guoqiang, Xu Guangshou and Xu Yuchang did not stay long and soon got up to say goodbye and prepare to go back.

At the same time, Xu Yuying, the little girl that Tian Guixiang had been waiting for for a long time, also returned home in a carriage.
