Butcher, a common profession in the countryside, mainly to slaughter pigs, cattle, sheep and other livestock for a living, since ancient times, the image of the butcher to people has always been "listen to the mourning, see the fear", calm expression, indeed let people respect and respect the butcher and stay away. Butchers are tall and tall, because a pig will weigh at least 200 pounds when it is slaughtered, and it is difficult for a person with a short head and no chicken strength to do this job. But the butcher has always had a "strange circle", that is, the life expectancy is always shorter than others, and the rural people also call this "short life", why is this? The small farmer learned through the 30-year butcher career of his third uncle that there were so many reasons for the short life span of the butcher. Let's take a look.
The third uncle began to inherit the mantle of his grandfather at the age of 18, inherited the slaughtering skills of his ancestors, and became the youngest butcher in the eight villages of Ten Mile, in his words, "I was born for slaughtering", because in the countryside at that time, whenever there was a New Year's Festival or a big event in the village, the host family would prepare a pig, one was to be lively, and the other was to show respect for the guests, after all, the price of pork was still relatively high at that time. There are pigs have to be slaughtered, for a time, the rural slaughtering industry has become a money-making industry, many young people joined it, but there are few who really insist on it, the third uncle is one of them, so when the small farmer goes to the third uncle with the question of "why the butcher has a short life", the expression of the third uncle is more solemn, because the surrounding butcher friends have gone a lot, so he also said 3 reasons with deep feelings.
The first reason: get up early and greedily exchange your body for money
In the past, rural pigs were caught, basically at about 2 o'clock in the middle of the night to go to the farmer's home to catch, at that time there was little equipment for preservation and freezing, if the first day of slaughter, overnight, this meat will not be fresh, the appearance is also very ugly, it is difficult to sell. Therefore, in order to ensure the freshness of pork, butchers every morning are more than 2 o'clock to get up to catch pigs, in the past the rural pigs are more than 200 pounds or so, these butchers are basically a person need to get the pigs on the car, while returning home to slaughter the pigs, the third uncle said, the butcher with good techniques, slaughtering a pig takes about 1 hour, if novice or inexperienced butcher, then it may be 2-3 hours, during this period, in order to ensure the smooth slaughter, butchers will not rest, A station is a few hours, this kind of high-strength physical labor, is the most important factor restricting the life of the butcher, so many butchers look very strong on the surface, but often at the age of 60, began to appear a variety of discomfort, in fact, are caused by year-round fatigue, directly affecting the life expectancy.
The second reason is the bad eating habits of "getting the moon first near the water building platform"
The bad eating habits mentioned here are mainly related to some customs in the countryside, the general butcher helps the host family to slaughter after the slaughter, the host family will warmly entertain a bit, the butcher after the wine and food will be full of oil, eat big fish and meat all day long life, I believe that whether it is a person tall or a strong horse or a weak wind, this body over time will inevitably have some problems, people to 50 years old, the body functions will begin to decline slowly, if you add this bad habit of life, It is believed that the life expectancy is naturally shorter than those who pay attention to health, so this bad eating habit of "getting the moon first near the water" is a bad habit and has a great impact on the life and health of the butcher.
The third reason: causality, so can not live long
The old people living in the countryside basically believe in "causality", where there are bad things that happen there must be bad reasons, and the butcher himself is doing "killing" work, as little as dozens of heads a year, more than a few hundred a year, each end is a life, although this is a natural law, but for cause and effect, this is also a disguised bad thing, and the result obtained in the end must be on their own, so this causal relationship is a thing that many butchers know in their hearts, as for when this fruit will come, Then it can only be left to Providence.
In general, the three main reasons affecting the life expectancy of rural butchers are getting up early and greedily taking the body for money, "near the water tower platform first get the moon" bad eating habits, causal relationship, this is the third uncle on the rural butchers affect the life expectancy of the three reasons summary, because now is centralized slaughter, so these reasons almost do not exist, but the real meaning of this article is to tell us, want to live a long life, must have good living habits and eating habits, do not pursue the comfort of the moment too much, must be self-disciplined, only in this way, Our longevity will be guaranteed, what do you think?
