The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

The 24th day of the twelfth lunar month is the day to worship the Kitchen God, also known as the Little New Year. The Little New Year in the north is the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, and in the south it is the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month. Some people also say that people with the surname Li celebrate on the 23rd day, and people with the surname Wang celebrate on the 24th day.

Yang Dongxu couldn't figure out how it was celebrated specifically, but in northern Anhui, at least in the surrounding areas of Yangjia Village, the Kitchen God was celebrated on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month.

During the festival, you must have a good meal, and then you need to set off a string of firecrackers before eating three meals a day. The rest is not much different from usual.

After Yang Wenchen returned to the village, he instantly turned from a three-good student with excellent character and learning into a child king. After dinner, he disappeared, and sometimes you couldn't even find him during dinner.

So Yang Dongxu was still sitting at the table eating, and in the blink of an eye, Yang Wenchen ran away again.

Yang's mother reacted quickly and shouted to the back figure who had already reached the door, "Come back early in the evening, don't play too late."

"Got it, grandma." Yang Wenchen's voice floated from the door and he disappeared.

"Have you been playing like this since you came back? Have you finished your homework?"

"I finished my winter vacation homework in Shanghai." Zhou Ya said.

"Buy him some extracurricular test papers. He has been playing like this until the beginning of the year when school starts and he forgets everything he learned."

Zhou Ya rolled her eyes at him and said nothing. Yang's mother glared at him, so Yang Dongxu had to shut up.

Although he wanted to give his son a complete childhood, he had to find a reason to do it because his grandparents would protect him after he finished his homework.

"If you have nothing to do, go to the north end of the market to bring back the incense. It will be used for slaughtering the New Year pig tomorrow." Yang's father glanced at him.

Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with Yang Dongxu's behavior of picking on his eldest grandson. Zhuo Qing'er next to him almost laughed out loud.

"Okay, okay, I'll go and pull it. How many?"

"What do you mean pull it? Please! Incense!" Yang's mother glared at her son unhappily.

"Please, please, please, how many?" Yang Dongxu said hurriedly, fearing that his mother would knock him with a chopstick. He just came back for one day and the novelty wore off and he was not welcomed. It was just because he saw that kid having too much fun and he was a little itchy as a father. Is it that serious?

"Go with a tricycle and invite four 100-jin people first. There is no room for more. If there are extra people, invite three more 100-jin people and two 20-jin people. If there are not many, just say hello. It will be in time to invite the rest in two days." Yang's father said.

"Okay, remember." Yang Dongxu finished the rice in the bowl, "Is the car charged?"

"It's charged, it's fully charged. When you go, go to your uncle's house and tell him to get up early to help with the pig slaughter tomorrow." Yang's mother said.

"Oh." Yang Dongxu nodded and agreed.

Going to say hello and asking him to get up early is fake, and telling his uncle not to drink today is real. The reason why Yang Dongxu was asked to go is mainly to avoid being scolded by Yang's father and mother.

But when it comes to serious matters, his mention is more effective than that of Yang's father and mother. It's not that my uncle listens to him. He doesn't even listen to his father and elder brother, so it's strange that he listens to his nephew.

The main thing is that Yang Dongxu's aunt will pay attention to it. In order to prevent her family from losing face in such a serious matter, she will definitely strictly control my uncle from drinking.

After lunch, Yang Dongxu, an absolute big boss with a net worth of unknown hundreds of millions, drove an electric tricycle without a windshield, wearing furry ear clips and cotton gloves to Jibeitou to draw incense.

When I went there, I went to my uncle's house to say hello. My uncle and aunt were at home. Dongjie was called away by the relatives of my aunt's mother's family. Tomorrow, he will drive the family's Mercedes-Benz as the lead car to pick up the bride.

After leaving my aunt's house, I came to the place where incense was made in Jibeitou, and I happened to meet Xiao Tao who also came to ask for incense.

"When did you come back?" Seeing Yang Dongxu, Xiao Tao's eyes lit up, and he took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to him, and also took out a lighter.

Yang Dongxu took the cigarette and put it in his mouth, and covered the lighter that Xiao Tao had already handed to him with his hands to light the cigarette, "I just came back yesterday, are you here to burn incense too?"

"Well, for killing the New Year pig tomorrow morning? You are also killing the New Year pig tomorrow, right?"

"Well, I'll be busy tomorrow." Yang Dongxu nodded.

Every year when he comes back for the New Year, his biggest job is to kill the New Year pig. Every year, the Yang family will kill two New Year pigs, one in the courtyard and one at the house on the street.

In the words of Yang's father, although they have not split up, because they live separately, they kill one pig at the door of each family for good luck during the New Year.

And this year, the Yang family not only killed the New Year pig for themselves, and it is not known whether Yang's father is addicted to performing pig killing for tourists or something, this year he took the job of killing New Year pigs for others.

And the way Yang's father slaughters the New Year pig is different from others. When others slaughter the New Year pig, the person who wants to slaughter the New Year pig invites the butcher to his own village to slaughter the pig, and the pigs are also depilated and separated in the village.

Yang's father's rules for slaughtering the New Year pig are different, because there are too many people who ask him to slaughter pigs, and they are all concentrated in the days from the end of the Kitchen God Festival to the twenty-eighth day of the lunar year. He can't go to the village to slaughter pigs and help people depilate and separate them in the village.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Whoever wants to slaughter the New Year pig can only give a notice in advance and ask clearly whether they are slaughtering their own pigs or those from the Yang family's pig farm. If they are slaughtering pigs from the Yang family's pig farm, they will come in advance to pick the pigs and mark them. If they are slaughtering pigs from their own farm, they will also mark them.

Yang's father will first count which village and which family will slaughter the pigs, and then get up at two or three o'clock in the night with a butcher knife and drive a truck with welded cages to pull the pigs selected by others to the door.

After arriving at the place, the family who slaughters the New Year pig just needs to prepare a basin, and then cut the pig with a knife while burning incense and setting off firecrackers, and the pig blood is collected in the basin.

The slaughtered pig is returned to the carriage and taken back to the pig farm. The pig farm has a special dehairing pot and staff, and the slaughtered pig is taken back for the people below to deal with.

The family who slaughters the New Year pig drives a tricycle to the pig farm, sees which pig is marked as theirs, and watches the people at the pig farm remove the pig leg hair, throw it on the tricycle and take it home.

Yang's father is only responsible for slaughtering pigs, and the rest is left to others. This way of slaughtering pigs is very efficient. Under normal circumstances, four to six pigs can be slaughtered in one trip. If you run five or six times in a morning, it is not a problem to kill twenty or thirty New Year pigs.

In fact, it doesn't take much time to slaughter a pig. It takes less than 20 minutes to catch it near the pigpen at the place. If the New Year pig is tied up in the carriage and pulled over, it can be done in ten minutes at most.

A pig is sold for 200 yuan regardless of whether it is bought from the pig farm or not. If you want to kill a sheep, you can add 100 yuan.

So tomorrow, because he also has to kill pigs at home, Yang Dongxu not only has to take care of the two New Year pigs at home, but also has to go with the car to help if Yang's father is tired.

After all, there are families who kill their own New Year pigs. The pigs need to be caught and tied up in the pigpen at the time. Sometimes Yang's father and the two people who are in charge of killing the New Year pigs may not be able to hold them down. It's the first year to do it more steadily, so Yang Dongxu was forced to work.

"Can you please bless my New Year pig?" Xiao Tao said with a smile.

"Okay, no problem, as long as you are not afraid of my lack of experience. My father is an old hand at killing pigs, and I have never touched a knife before." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
