Butchers in rural areas often help people kill pigs, and the days of wine and meat are very good, but why do they get sick easily when they are old?

? Killing pigs is an important thing for rural people. Before preparing to kill pigs, the host family must do three things well. First of all, choose a day and ask the most respected person in the family to check the yellow calendar to see which day is the best to kill pigs. The second is to inform the neighbors. Choose a good day, and then, in two days, we will kill pigs. The third is to hire butchers, the so-called pig killers in rural areas.

? Most butchers I have seen are tall, with round waistlines and thick arms. After all, killing pigs is not only a technical activity, but also a physical activity. Not only ordinary people can't do it, especially those who are too thin and weak. There are few technicians in rural areas and they are very popular. Therefore, inviting skilled people to work from home, there are some rules that are unanimously agreed to become universal. For example, if you let the carpenter open the door to make furniture, you will not only give red envelopes, but also let the carpenter take away some unused hornbeams. Thank you. When the butcher is invited to kill pigs, the host will not only entertain wine and meat, but also send pigs such as internal organs to the butcher and occasionally send some meat.

? Generally speaking, only one or two people in eight villages can kill pigs. At that time, every household raised pigs, so there was a lot of work to kill pigs. Every time a butcher kills a pig, he is served wine and meat, and there are red envelopes. Living conditions are much better than ordinary people. It is said that living conditions are good, food is good, work is more energetic and health is better. But why are many butchers not as healthy as ordinary farmers and many people die young?

In other words, killing pigs is generally from morning till night. Many of them work in the middle of the night and then sell them in the market. Morning is the best time to sell meat, so they often skip breakfast, work on an empty stomach, sleep badly and get sick easily, and many people still have the habit of drinking and smoking. Although butchers seem to be strong one by one, in fact, due to the above reasons, there will be many hidden dangers of injury on their bodies, so after a certain age, their physical condition will drop sharply and even die earlier than ordinary people.
