Accompanied by the constantly falling snowflakes is the smell of pork being cooked, and the smell of meat spreads rapidly in the air. In fact, a lot of pork was killed this time. In addition to the pig slaughter banquet, each person gave a catty of freshly cured bacon as a New Year gift.

"This meat tastes good, everyone eat more..." As the Spring Festival approached, Lu Xiao invited his old relatives who came to the county and the brothers of the bodyguard team to come to the pig-killing feast.

The pig-killing banquet is a tradition in the village. Some farmers will invite butchers to slaughter their pigs when they grow up. Most of the pork is kept at home, and the pig's offal, pig's head, and pig's trotters are all used for slaughtering pigs.

The first dish of the pig-killing banquet is routinely stir-fried pig's blood with chili. First, boil the water in the iron pot, and then add the liquid pig's blood prepared in advance when the water boils. There is no need to cook it for too long, otherwise the pig blood will not taste good. After boiling the pork blood for a while, take it out, let it cool naturally and solidify into lumps. Heat oil over medium heat, add onion, ginger and garlic, sauté until fragrant, pour in pig blood and stir fry. Add hot sauce and red pepper at the end, and it's ready to serve.

Because the pork blood chili sauce in this dish is red, it means that it is booming. The pork head meat afterwards also has the good meaning of being lucky, and each of the following dishes has a different meaning. At the same time, Lu Xiao did not hesitate to cook a large pot of braised pork, sweet and sour meatballs, etc., making sure that everyone was full.

The braised pork is sweet and soft, fat but not greasy. I am very satisfied with the appetite of these big men, and I am satisfied with eating with noodles and steamed buns. Sweet and sour meatballs are basically for children. Children naturally like the sweet and sour taste.

Chang An also ate a lot due to her pregnancy, compared to Lu Xiao and Mu An who ate the least. Xiu Ming also noticed Mu An's picky behavior, but he couldn't bear to force a child.

"Since it's such a good day, it's better for everyone to play the flower drum." After everyone had eaten enough, Lu Xiao suggested this. My nerves have been tense these days, it's time to relax.

Lu Xiao mentioned it all, and everyone will not lose face. The woman and the buddies put the food on the table aside first, and the men immediately arranged the wooden table into a big circle.

It is impossible for women to participate in such activities, so the buddies are more casual. Just be careful not to get too close to each other, and besides, there is nothing to say in full view.

Lu Xiao was in charge of beating the flower drum, and Liu Shuhe was the referee. Chang An was leaning on the cushion prepared in advance, looking softly at the person holding the drum hammer.

"As soon as the drumbeat stops, everyone stops their hands. See who the bouquet lands on and who will perform... If you don't perform, you will be fined with wine." Lu Xiao introduced the rules with a very serious expression. He held this show in the sense of a mass blind date. There are quite a few bachelors and buddies in the escort team. The servants in the family are also of the same age, not to mention other things... There are only two maidservants who are the same age as Hua'er around Chang'an. They also did their best when they were in Chang'an, and they were able to find a good husband, and if they fell in love with each other, it was considered a fulfillment of their mutual affection.

With Lu Xiao playing the drum himself and Liu Shuhe as the referee, the bouquet is naturally where he wants it to be. Liu Shuhe understood Lu Xiao's intentions, they were not as good as those powerful royal relatives and noble families. In addition to strengthening supervision and management, more people need such gentle methods to appease and win people's hearts.
