Hello… sister
When will you start the holiday, A Chun?
We will have the holiday from the next Saturday.
I’ve bought the ticket.
Umm…OK. I’ll wait to slaughter the pig when you come back.
Well...fine.
When it comes to the winter month,
Everyone in the village starts to slaughter the “New Year Pig”.
We all take the day of Annual Pork Dinner as an important date.
People who stay at home raise the pig for one year or longer.
The pig is usually slaughtered when families that work and study in foreign land return.
An auspicious date is selected.
All relatives and friends will be informed in advance
to help and eat the Annual Pork Dinner.
On the day of slaughtering,
we take the best part of a pig to entertain guests.
For the Annual Pork Dinner of Shidian,
three dishes are indispensable,
sour pickles with raw meat,
cold burned pork skin dressed with source,
white meat source dipped with pig’s blood.
They have been representatives of delicacies.
The older generation all love to eat raw meat.
In their consciousness,
a year is counted as complete
only when they have eaten the Annual Pork Dinner.
