"Xiaofeng, are you so lively every year for pig killing?" At the banquet, a middle-aged man wearing a thick-bottomed wine bottle and black-framed glasses asked Xiao Feng in a low voice.

In order not to make tourists too restrained, young people like Xiao Feng, Xiao Qiang, and senior executives of the Jinghu system such as Yang Yuanhang and Ma Wanli were assigned to each table to guide and introduce the tourists.

The middle-aged man named Xue Husheng, who is a professional photographer. Not long ago, he saw the beautiful scenery of Ginkgo Village from the Internet and newspapers. He immediately felt that this was a photographer's paradise. Without saying a word, he brought his heart to Ginkgo Village and rushed to Ginkgo Village.

Xue Husheng has lived in Ginkgo Village for more than half a month. He carries his high-end photography equipment worth more than 100,000 yuan around Jinghu, Jinghu Valley, and Qingling Mountain every day, taking all kinds of wonderful scenery into the camera.

The longer you stay in Ginkgo Village, the more Xue Husheng can feel the charm here. This is not only the beautiful natural scenery, but also the feeling of harmony between people and nature here.

Xue Husheng usually likes to photograph the elderly who are basking in the sun in the village. The elderly are leisurely and satisfied with their smiles can always give Xue Husheng more touch and inspiration.

A lively pig-killing banquet like today is not visible in Haizhou. Xue Husheng traveled around the world and was knowledgeable, and rarely encountered such a rural scene. Xue Husheng consumed a lot of film dams just now, and he planned to turn around and do a related topic.

"In the past, only two or three of my family were killed. In the past, I was studying outside and rarely participated!" Xiao Feng shook his head and said, "This year, the family's industries have developed well. It has only put forward such a big formation. Now it looks good!"

In Xiao Feng's memory, I have never participated in the occasion of slaughtering pigs for winter and pickling smoked products. At most, I just enjoy it when slaughtering pigs for the New Year in the twelfth lunar month every year.

Xiao Feng hopes to hold such activities every year in the future and form a tradition to develop as a characteristic project of Jinghu Scenic Area.

"I have also been to many places. Jinghu Scenic Area has done a good job in the protection and development of traditional customs and cultural environment. I hope it can be maintained!" Xue Husheng has lived in Ginkgo Village for more than half a month. Naturally, he has some understanding of some of the situations in the Jinghu system and tactfully put forward his own views to Xiao Feng.

As a cultural photographer, Xue Husheng has visited many famous scenic spots and tourist attractions for field trips. However, he found that as the development continues to deepen, the scenic spots are becoming more and more money-oriented, and many traditions are gradually changing. Xue Husheng naturally does not want Ginkgo Village to be too much commercial pollution, and if it can maintain its current appearance, this is a good thing for Ginkgo Village or tourists.

"This is natural!" Xiao Feng grabbed a large pig bone with his hand, sucking the oily bone marrow inside in one mouthful, and then said: "In this regard, we also hope that Uncle Xue, you can take a series of promotional pictures for our Ginkgo Village and spread more folk customs and traditional skills."

Xiao Feng is not unfamiliar with this middle-aged man who often wanders around the village with expensive imported photography equipment, and there are many titles about him on the Internet.

An internationally renowned photographer, vice chairman of the China Photography Association, famous writer, famous folk customs research expert... Any title is enough to impress people, not to mention that every title of Xue Husheng is made of real materials.

Xiao Feng and Xue Husheng had several private exchanges, and the two sides had a high degree of consensus on environmental protection and folk skills inheritance. Xiao Feng's five years of study in Haizhou and his working career made Xue Husheng feel more aware of him, and the two had a great time talking.

Xiao Feng knew that as the opening hours of Jinghu Scenic Area approached, various publicity offensives had entered a stage of ready-to-go, and he had to make full use of the various resources at hand.

Xue Husheng is one of the big shots in the Chinese photography industry. His every move can influence the vast number of photography enthusiasts. This is a rare opportunity for Jinghu Scenic Area.

Some people say, "It's a poor car, it's a rich watch, and it's a poor SLR for three generations!" Although this sentence is a bit exaggerated, it's enough to prove that people who play photography are not short of money.

Xiao Feng wanted to build a "photographer's paradise" through Xue Husheng's influence, using the wonderful natural scenery of Jinghu-area and the rich traditional humanistic factors of Ginkgo Village as the main materials.

Jinghu Company is even willing to provide free accommodation for well-known photographers at home and abroad, attracting more photographers to live in Ginkgo Village and collect folk songs, so as to better spread the charm of Ginkgo Village.

"You kid has already made this idea!" Xue Husheng pointed to Xiao Feng and said with a smile: "No wonder you are willing to give up your job in Haizhou and return to Ginkgo Village. This vision is so poisonous! Just for the full table of food, I would be sorry for your stomach if I don't agree to you!"

Xue Husheng likes photography, food, and even the story behind the food.

Over the past few days, Xue Husheng has tasted all kinds of pure green delicacies that are close to nature and pollution-free in Ginkgo Village, and his love for Ginkgo Village has reached a higher level. Especially after tasting the delicious food cooked by Xiao Feng in the old house of Xiao family, he has been completely conquered.

"This is just a small scene. In two days, I will prepare a real top-notch feast for Uncle Xue!" Xiao Feng nodded and agreed without saying a word about Xue Husheng's request.

Today's pig-killing banquet was kept for the main essence to make pickled meat, so Xiao Jinhao could only use the materials locally and make full use of the various materials on hand to create a small banquet of four cool and eight hot.

The beef sauce is made of braised local yellow beef bought by Xiao Jinhao on the street a few days ago. After cutting it into thin slices as thin as a cicada wing with a knife, it is stained with a special hot sauce. The rich sauce aroma is wrapped with the aroma of the beef itself and melts in the mouth.

Braised pork head meat is today's pork head is braised and cut, fat but not greasy, and full of chewiness. It is naturally the best to use it to drink wine.

The fried peanuts are made from dried peanuts just harvested this fall, and then heated them in the pan and fry them until they are golden and crispy.

The sheer root is a wild vegetable that can be seen everywhere in the fields of Ginkgo Village and mountain spring forests. Wash and mix with various seasonings and turn it into a delicious dish.

After boiling the soup with a large pork bone fire, put the lotus root dug from the pond. A large bone lotus root soup is the most suitable for such a cool autumn.

The raw materials for braised fish come from Jinghu. About three pounds of big carp are braised and drizzled with sauce made from Lingquan tomatoes in Vegetable Garden. It is sweet and sour, and the fish is delicious.

…………

Xiao Jinhao's skills are not bad, and the ingredients are of top quality, so although today's banquet is not as exquisite as star-rated hotels, it is full of weight and tastes extraordinary.

"Xiaofeng, don't swear me?" Xue Husheng obviously didn't believe it, and looked at Xiao Feng and said, "If I'm not satisfied at that time, I will make a living in your house all day!"

With the insights of Xue Husheng's senior gourmets, we can confirm that today's pig-killing banquet is basically the highest level of rural banquets, which is even better than those exquisitely packaged restaurants. He could not imagine that such a banquet was just a small scene in Xiao Feng's mouth?

"Uncle Xue, just take your stomach empty and wait and enjoy it!" Xiao Feng didn't say anything else and gave Xue Husheng a positive answer.

Xiao Feng and Xue Husheng were having a great time talking, and the hosts and guests on the other tables were also happy. Food and wine became the links to contact everyone, and they let go of their strangeness and reserve, and the atmosphere of the scene began to become lively.

The glutinous rice wine used at the banquet was brewed after Xiao Feng came back. Xiao Feng secretly added the Space Spirit Spring to the fermentation wine jar, making these glutinous rice wines more fragrant and have a long taste.

In a sense, you can't buy a lot of delicacies at the pig-killing banquet even if you have money.

The pig-killing banquet lasted from twelve to 2:30 and ended. Aunt Xiao led a group of housewives to clean up the mess, packed the remaining dishes and meat separately, and gave them to the families who came to help today.

Xiao Jinhao and others still have the most important task left, which is to start pickling various meat products!

In order not to affect work, Xiao Jinhao did not drink too much wine. He began to direct Xiao Jun and others to evenly apply the prepared hot sauce on the washed and dried pork ribs.

In western Yunnan, there is a traditional custom of making braised pork ribs. After the Xiao family moved to Ginkgo Village, they combined the taste of the Central Plains and the traditional craftsmanship of western Yunnan to make braised pork ribs. In previous years, if the Xiao family had not killed many pigs, they would buy a certain number of good ribs on the market to pickle pork ribs.

The pork belly needs to be sprinkled with spicy sauce, and the pork belly cut into strips needs to be sprinkled with salt and rice wine. As for the prepared sausage, just hang it up.

After all the ribs, pork belly and sausage were processed, Xiao Jinhao opened a side room on the side of the old house, which was the place where the Xiao family smoked bacon.

Since the Xiao family marinated a lot of bacon every year, it was not hung above the stove like ordinary people. Instead, a room was specially built to smoke the bacon, pork ribs, bacon and sausages with various pine, fruit wood and herbs.

When all the meat products were hung in the house, Xiao Jinhao began to light the fire, and the thick smoke emitting various fragrances began to spread in the house. This smoked process usually lasted for a whole month, and the fire in the smoked house could not be cut off during this month.

After a month, delicious smoked food will be formed. People can choose various cooking techniques to process these smoked products twice, making them more delicious than fresh meat.

In today's industrialization and marketization, the method of making bacon with pure handcrafts and careful selection of bacon like the Xiao family has almost disappeared. In the past decade, Xiao Feng, who lived in other places, often uses the smoked products sent from Ginkgo Village to maintain his memory of his hometown.

Time can always give many traditional memories more vitality and charm.

However, in the eyes of Xue Husheng, who is constantly taking photos, the smoked wax products are just a small surprise he saw today, and the bigger surprise is still to come! (To be continued...)
