2023 is coming to an end, and a new 2024 is about to begin. On the day of New Year's Eve, the villagers of Mengbang Village, Xiangda Town, Longling County will slaughter the local unique "oak pig" and make it into an "oak pig" feast to reward the hard work of the year, and welcome the arrival of the New Year with joy in the joy of harvest and the expectation of the coming year.
Why is it called "oak pig"?Because the local mountains are full of oak trees, every year when the oak fruit is ripe and falls to the ground, the farmers will drive the pigs up the mountain to feed, eat oak fruit every day, drink mountain spring water, and run between the mountains and forests. The pork fed in this way is firm and tender, with less fat content, and is about 3 to 5 yuan per catty more expensive than ordinary pork, which is the main industry for the local people to increase their income. At the end of the year, it is the time when the "oak pig" is fat and strong, and it is slaughtered and sold, and the farmers get together to eat the "New Year pig" banquet and "cross" the New Year.
Oak pigs "are hungry all night, and the morning is the best time to slaughter." A few strong men processed hundreds of catties of pork early, and it was time for the female "kitchen god" to show her skills. Fresh pork liver and pork are quickly stir-fried out of the pan. Fresh pig's blood and chopped fennel are steamed together. Chopped raw meat, dipped in lemon water, and side dishes such as fried shredded pork, shredded radish, and shredded lettuce are the most tender ways to eat "oak pig". In short, breakfast is fresh and fast, and the evening is the highlight of the "oak pig" feast.
We eat "oak pig" is very grand, the morning time is tighter, eat simpler, in the afternoon is more hearty. Villager Zheng Zhaodi told reporters.
In the afternoon, relatives and friends from all over the world came, and the courtyard became lively. Barbecue is the first big dish, the marinated pork belly and pork ribs on the grill are charred on the outside and tender on the inside, moisturizing and oily, dipped in pickle paste, and paired with lettuce, which is simply the "ceiling" of barbecue.
To eat oak fruit pigs, you must eat roasted meat, is it delicious?It's delicious!Everyone said happily.
The kitchen has become more lively with the help of relatives and friends, and dinner is in full swing.
When night falls, fried pork ribs, pork balls, pork skin jelly, boiled bacon, loofah root pork rib soup and other "big dishes" are also served one after another, everyone sits together to enjoy the "oak pig" banquet with full color and flavor, and looks forward to a new and beautiful year.
