In the afternoon, the sumptuous pig-killing meal was finally ready.
The radish bone broth that has been simmered for several hours, the red, white and green shallots and blood tofu, the stir-fried winter bamboo shoots with back meat, and the fresh and delicious boiled blood sausage Each one is contained in a large clay bowl, like a small basin.
The main dish is steamed pumpkin rice, steamed in a large wooden steaming bucket pot, pumpkin is added to the rice, and the steamed rice is fluffy and sandwiched with golden pumpkin pieces.
The workers of Zhang's workshop, the craftsmen and helpers who helped Zhangjia repair the cellar, and other villagers of Zhangjiagou were all invited to eat this sumptuous pig-killing meal.
Dad was wearing a robe sewn by Qi Niang, and he was very excited to stand on the drying field, greeting everyone from time to time, "You're welcome, let go of eating" Dozens of tables were placed directly in the steaming shed, the tables in the Zhang's canteen were not enough, and all the families in the village moved their own tables and stools, but it was still not enough, it didn't matter, the women and children did not serve the table, and they took a big bowl of vegetables, and squatted to eat.
A group of women squatted in a row with large pots and bowls like men, and at their feet there was a large soup basin, in which in addition to a bowl full of large bone broth, there were also stewed crispy radishes and two large bones for one person.
The children simply held the bones in their hands and ran after them with their friends, gnawing their hands and mouths full of oil.
Wherever Daddy went, someone greeted Daddy and said words of thanks.
This meal doesn't cost much, the dishes are made of pig water and bones, just spend some rice.
But there are a lot of gains, and everyone's gratitude has made the reputation of the Zhang family father and son go to a higher level.
This is just like the company in later generations, sometimes it will organize employees to go out for travel and dinner, spending some money, but it can get the centripetal force of employees and strengthen cohesion.
Zhang Chao really wants to thank everyone, the Zhang family can turn over so quickly, and it is inseparable from them.
Without them, Zhang Chao would not have been able to open a pasta business, and without everyone's help, he would not have been able to do a business on the stove.
The Zhang family will be even bigger in the future, and it is inseparable from the support and fame of the local neighbors, and this is how it has risen little by little.
With fame, everyone will trust you, respect you, and follow you.
Zhang Chao, Cheng Chumo, Ke Shan, Ke Wu and the newcomer Ma Zhou sat at a table, and everyone was very undignified and went all out to deal with the pig killing dishes at the table in front of them.
Zhang Chao is considered to be a good performer, he picked up a large barrel bone with a chopstick, and then made a wheat straw as a straw, and was sucking the bone marrow leisurely.
The barrel bones that have been stewed enough for the heat are the real essence of the bone marrow.
Suck the bone marrow, scoop another spoonful of soup, and eat a piece of radish, which is warm and refreshing.
Ma Zhou also ate very unremarkable, and directly held the bones with both hands and gnawed the meat on it.
While gnawing, I also sucked a few mouthfuls on the barrel bone from time to time.
"I can't imagine that a pork leg can be stewed so deliciously."
"Let's stew pork legs every day in the future."
Cheng said silently.
Zhang Chao put the gnawed bones into a willow frame on the side, and these bones still had to be recovered.
This is also the special order of Lizheng Village, the big bones cannot be lost after gnawing, and they are not allowed to be wasted.
Because after the big bones are gnawed, they are collected, washed, and then added radishes and the like to continue the stew.
Zhang Chao wanted to say that there was no need for this, it was so unclean and hygienic.
But Li Zhengdu said that it was too wasteful to throw it away, and the countrymen were finally able to eat meat and gnaw bones once, and in the past, which family stewed bone broth had to be stewed two or three times, so that the bone marrow and meat in the bones could be stewed thoroughly.
Zhang Chao made up his mind, this time he would definitely not eat the big bone broth again, but everyone asked for recycling, so let's recycle.
"I think you can meet this request."
Zhang Chao smiled.
Ma Zhou wiped his mouth and said, "Killing pigs every day, even if our family is a landlord, we can't stand it" As an account office, Ma Zhou felt that he had the obligation to persuade Zhang Chao.
He looked at the account book for a long time today and found that this young owner is very capable, but there is also a shortcoming, that is, he spends too much money and spends too much.
The family's more than 500 acres of land were rented out by tenants, but as a result, the old practice of almost seventy-third of the landlord's tenant farmers was changed, but they took the initiative to only collect five buckets of corn per mu.
Moreover, it is explained that it will no longer charge other kinds of rental money, and in addition, it will also borrow cattle for everyone to cultivate for free, and will also dig wells and erect well trucks for each piece of land.
This is equivalent to the rent from seventy-three cents to almost thirty-seven cents.
Moreover, this expenditure for buying cattle requires more than 600 yuan, and then more than a dozen wells are drilled, and then the well car is made again, and it also needs more than 100 yuan.
The Zhang family is still building a new cellar, five into fifteen rooms, with a large courtyard, and a lot of money.
Just after listening to the explanation of the young owner, he asked the account office to prepare a sum of cash, saying that he was going to buy the nearby ten-mile barren ditch, and the budget was actually 1,000 yuan.
He admitted that Zhang Xiaolangjun did make money in a good way, but he spent money even more like water.
Just like today, the pig was originally killed for tomorrow's cellar and worship God, in fact, it is okay not to kill the pig, buy a pig's head, buy some meat, and ask the cellar craftsmen to set a few tables for a meal.
But Zhang Chao had to make it so big, he was actually ready to set up hundreds of tables, invite eight or nine hundred people to eat, what his own workers are invited, but even those villagers who are not working at home should be invited, and even those tenants should be invited, and even those tenants should be invited to ask for four hundred dishes, eight dishes and eight bowls, and the whole Chang'an can't find a second landlord who is so generous.
Today is just to kill a pig, and there is a pig killing feast.
Although this pig-killing rice is really delicious, today's pig-killing rice and tomorrow's flowing water banquet will cost a lot of flowers.

If you eat like this every day in the future, the Zhang family will make money again, and sooner or later they will have to eat losers.
"Shaodong, I bought three pigs today, and I have spent nearly 30,000 yuan on my account."
Ma Zhou kindly reminded Zhang Chao.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Chao said with a smile when he heard this, "I think it is more cost-effective to directly collect the woolly pigs to kill them than to buy pork."
The hairy pig is now only about 30 yuan a catty, but it costs 170 yuan to buy pork.
It's twice as much."
Zhang Chao sat there to settle accounts for everyone, a hairy pig of more than 300 catties, the meat yield is still very high, and the meat yield can reach nearly seventy percent.
If it is a fat pig of 300 catties, it can slaughter 210 catties of bone meat, including 30 catties of spine chops, about 25 ribs, 15 catties of large bones, about 70 catties of front and rear leg meat, about 40 catties of pork belly, and about 30 catties of tenderloin.
This is just the flesh and bones, not including the water and oil.
Zhang Chao found that in these years, the butchers in the slaughterhouse killed pigs, and they would not sell the meat so finely.
Buy meat to take the head, fat meat is the best, lean meat is second, bones are the least valuable, pig's head and pig's feet can almost only be put on the head, as for the water, it is not even weighed, it can only be regarded as a gift to customers.
It's the same as people who sell vegetables and give a few shallots.
In addition to meat, only lard and net oil can be sold separately.
Therefore, although pork is twice the price of hairy pigs, the profit from selling pork is not large, and many things cannot be sold for money.
However, Zhang Chao feels that as long as he makes good use of it, he can still make money.
Now the Zhang family also needs a lot of pork every day, making meat bun filling, pork dumplings, wontons, etc.
Zhang Chao also plans to make some pork toppings, and sell cold noodles mixed with flour to cook noodles or something in the future, you can pour some toppings, which can immediately raise the noodles to a lot of grades.
Zhang's meat buns, one big meat bun has one or two meat fillings, and there are many other sizes.
After calculation, Zhang's noodles need no less than 200 catties of meat a day.
These 200 catties of meat still have no bones and no water, so after calculation, you have to kill two big fat pigs of 300 catties a day to be satisfied.
If you go to Chang'an butcher shop every day to buy meat, you will get more than 20,000 yuan for 200 catties of meat.
And you have to go to Chang'an City early, or there will be no fresh pork available.
And if the Zhang family buys two pigs to kill, six hundred catties of pigs will cost nearly 20,000 yuan, which seems to cost a little more money, and they have to do it themselves.
However, after using up 200 catties of pork, there are still more than 100 catties of pork ribs, keels, leg bones, pig trotters, pig heads, etc., and there are so many pigs in the water, not to mention the dozens of catties of plate oil, net oil, and pig fat, which can also be worth a lot of money.
As long as Zhang Chao can digest these bones and water, etc., it will be earned.
Zhang Chao calculated casually, he would not lose money if he killed himself, at least a few dozen catties of oil for two pigs would be worth thousands of dollars.
The rest of the pig's head, pig's trotters, pork ribs, pig's trotters, pig's water, etc., are not worth thousands of dollars Of course, if you eat it yourself, you will definitely not be able to digest it, and you will not kill it once every few days, but every day.
So the best thing is to find a way to sell these.
Zhang Chao feels that it is not difficult to sell these worthless things that no one wants, just like there is a famous dish in later generations, husband and wife lung slices, and the origin is very legendary.
A poor couple bought the cattle from the cattle killing stall at a low price every day, and then after some preparation, they became husband and wife lung tablets, which sold very well and became a very profitable business.
For another example, Mao Xuewang, it is said that at the beginning, she was also the wife of a butcher, because the pig could not be sold, so the pig blood and other water were processed and cooked together into Mao Xuewang to sell, but it was a big fire.
It's like the duck head, duck neck, chicken feet, duck feet, and even chicken butt in later generations, which were originally things that no one eats, but after special processing, they can become delicious, and even sell much more expensive than meat.
Zhang Chao plans to develop braised pork for sale, what braised pig's head meat, braised pig ears, braised pig tongue, braised pig's trotters, braised pig heart, braised pork liver, braised pig lungs, braised pork belly, braised fat sausage, clear water pig lungs, clear water pork belly, clear water pig fat intestines and so on.
He carefully observed in Chang'an, and in these years, there were people selling cooked food, but they sold mutton, and no one sold pork.
There is roast chicken and roast goose, no sauce beef and no braised pig's head.
Zhang Chao couldn't sell the sauce beef, and the imperial court forbade private slaughter of cattle.
But there is no restriction on selling braised pork, no one sells it, but the rich have always been reluctant to eat pork, thinking that pork is cheap and cannot be served on the table like dog meat.
But Zhang Chao believes that the most important thing is that people at this time are not very good at cooking pork and lack cooking techniques.
Just like in the Song Dynasty, pork was also cheap meat, but Su Dongpo loved to eat pork, and he invented many ways to eat pork, such as Dongpo meat, which is the most famous.
After the Song Dynasty, more and more people ate pork, and even rich and noble families no longer refused pork.
Just like right now, the eldest son of Cheng Chu's Tangtang Mansion is not heartless with a pig barrel bone, and he also said that it would be good if he could eat it every day in the future.
And the pork buns of the Zhang family are now selling very well in Chang'an.
Those who can eat pork buns are not really poor people.
"In the future, we will kill two pigs every day, and we will have big bone broth to drink every day, and you can drink as much as you want."
"It's really good."
