After the last grain was collected and handed over to the public ration, the last food distribution began.
Then winter wheat was planted again, and the production team announced that the work was finished.
At this time, the pigs were killed and the meat got distributed. At the same time, if anyone in the village raised the pigs, they have to drive the pigs out and be tasked to hand over the pig.
Other families reached seventy to eighty jins at best. However, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai's two pigs were at least about two hundred jins each.
Two pigs racked up above four hundred jins.
When these two pigs were guided out, it caused a sensation throughout the entire Zhoujia Village.
So they all rushed to find out from Zhou Qing Bai how to raise them? How can the pigs get so fat?
Zhou Qing Bai had nothing to hide; foraged pigweed, soybean waste, soybean dregs, and cornmeal.
The first few were fine, but the cornmeal at the back was shocking.
What, feed the pig with cornmeal?
They don't even get to eat cornmeal, so how could they used it to feed pigs.
Needless to say, this must have been his terrible wife's idea.
Lin Qing He was used to bearing such blame, so when Zhou Qing Bai wanted to say that they used to raise pigs like this back in the force, he was stopped by Lin Qing He. She told him, he didn't need to say more. They could believe it if they want.
But there was no doubt that these two big fat pigs which can outweigh the other normal five fat pigs, were very eye-catching. It went without saying that the work points won't be lacking. More importantly, the whole village was sharpening the knife at once.
Because other families, including those on the team, didn't achieve such fatness, they wanted to kill these two to distribute with everyone. If they can get pig fat, it will definitely be able to boil a lot of lard for use!
So with the consent of everyone, the village branch secretary signaled the slaughter and the others rushed to complete the task.
This time the pork distribution can be handed out again before the New Year. There were still a lot of pigs on the farm, which was reserved for the community.
This time, the autumn harvest was draining, so everyone ate better.
So their family's pigs were killed. Zhou Qing Bai asked for a pig head, a length of pork intestines, a pork stomach, a pigtail, five jins of pork fat, eight large ribs, and large bones. He also got a good bit of pork belly and lean meat.
The most popular and well-recognized as good meat nowadays was fatty pork, then followed by pork belly loin, and pig head.
As for the pig's large intestine, pork stomach, and the internal bits, they weren't counted. And the lean pork, ribs, and big bones weren't popular, so they were all cheap.
So even though it looked at a lot, it was in fact matched to his work points.
Moreover, these two big fat pigs were raised by his family. It was no problem for him to pick from it first. No one in the village would say anything.
Even if many people coveted the big pig's head, no one dared to object when Zhou Qing Bai took it away.
"Da Wa's Mother, why didn't you let Fourth Brother-in-law ask for more pork fat? How can those meat be better?" Eldest Sister-in-law came over and whispered.
