3. Pay special attention to shaving pig hair. Some places use a kitchen knife to scrape, and some places prefer to scrape with a plane. When scraping, push it back in the direction of pig hair, otherwise it will easily break the root. After the pig is slaughtered and processed, a piece of hind leg meat, pig heart and pig lung must be cut off as a water gift to the pig killer.
