What is the whole process of killing pigs in rural areas?

Here is a brief introduction to the whole process of killing pigs in rural areas:

Rural-born friends should have seen killing pigs. During the Chinese New Year, pig farmers in every household began to kill pigs. At that time, I felt full of flavor. In the past, Tujia people worked at sunrise all the year round and rested at sunset. Only during the Spring Festival do they have a few days of leisure and happiness. Killing pigs is also the most lively thing in the village.

Because of the shortage of materials at that time, it would be very good to kill a pig for the New Year every year. Even some poor families sell most of the pork after killing pigs and keep a small part for the New Year. At that time, eating pork for the New Year was a very happy thing.

In the period of planned economy, a pig must pay money to the state before it can be slaughtered by itself. However, even now, killing pigs is still a major event for farmers, and it is also the highlight of farmers before the Chinese New Year. On the day of killing pigs, farmers will invite relatives and friends to eat pig killing rice at home to celebrate.

Killing pigs is manual labor, and there are special pig killers in rural areas. It is said that naughty pigs are honest when they see him and have a natural suppression of pigs. Killing pigs is a terrible thing for children, and children are forbidden to watch it. Once I tried to peep, but I was reprimanded by an adult. When I grew up, I didn't have so much scruples.

When it's time to kill pigs, friends and relatives will be invited. Several men hook the fat pig that has been raised for a year out of the fence, and tie the pig's trotters with ropes. It will become more and more difficult to buckle the dead pig. Big fat pig seems to realize that he is going to be slaughtered, but he howls vigorously. Killing pigs in rural areas requires a series of preparations, and a large pot of water is cooked early to give pig legs hair.

The pig was carried to a good table, and the boy hugged it tightly. The pig killer took out a foot-long pig-killing knife. When you kill a pig, you should find a good position, point a knife at the pig's neck and stab it in the heart. This scene is a nightmare for children. This will make the pigs suffer less. This is the pot that has been put away to collect pig blood. The time for bloodletting should be ready. It's too late to learn to immerse yourself in fat and affect the taste.

In the past, during the Spring Festival in rural areas, basically every family would kill pigs, or several partners would kill one. When a killed pig is drenched with hot water, it will lose its hair. It will cut a small hole in the pig's trotters and then blow into it. When it looks like a ball, the pig's skin will swell up, and wrinkles in various places will easily disappear. Just like killing a sheep, blowing air into it is easy to peel it. Pigskin has no economic value, just depilate it.

The moment of killing pigs in the countryside is very lively, and pork can be eaten openly. Pigs began to be dismembered after being depilated. First chop off the head and gut it, then hang it above the ground and divide the pig into two sectors. At that time, fat meat was the most fragrant. That depends on whose pig it is. Finally, it depends on how much fat the pig has.

This rude and crazy way is the life of rural people, simple but not simple, and so is love. Now the killing of pigs in rural areas is slowly disappearing, people's living standards are high, and it is not so difficult to eat meat. Every household basically can't raise pigs, and they are all concentrated in farms. According to the regulations, private individuals cannot slaughter without authorization. The taste in that memory is precious.
