Lao Yang emphasized health.

In the 1970s and 1980s, many local butchers knew each other very well, and they could see them every two days. I remember that more than ten years ago, our local butchers all walked and then carried the burden to sell pork. However, with the development of economy, our local butchers still often appear in our village, but they have become vans. Maybe many people will be depressed. Some butchers are obviously very strong, why did they disappear at the age of 50 or 60?

A butcher, as its name implies, is a person who kills pigs for sale. Pork is a very common food in our daily life, and it is also essential in our life. There is a butcher in our village who has been in this industry for more than 30 years. He has been married since he was a child, but the butcher is old, and now he is over 50, but he still does his business every day. In fact, being a butcher is the most tiring. When killing pigs every day, I have to get up at dawn, and the whole process of killing pigs is time-consuming and laborious. Generally speaking, thinner people can't do this business.

The butcher in our village will kill a pig every one or two days, and then drive a van to various nearby villages to sell it, while walking along the village with a recorded big horn. In fact, it takes a lot of time to kill pigs, shave pigs, dissect pigs, classify them and so on. So it's almost noon and half a day has passed. The butcher in our village is called Lao Yang. He is strong, and he usually eats a lot. He always has a good appetite. He loves drinking and eating all kinds of pig offal, pig water and so on.

In recent years, Lao Yang's health has gradually deteriorated. Some time ago, he went to a physical examination and was found to have "three highs", high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia. Sometimes you get dizzy when you are tired from physical labor. In recent years, he still insisted on being a butcher. As he said, "I have been a butcher for decades and have feelings for this profession. Besides, he can't do anything else now. In order to reduce the burden on the child, he can only bite his teeth until he can't move. " Now Lao Yang's health is getting worse and worse. His family told him to eat less greasy food and pig offal, which they said would lead to "three highs". Now Lao Yang has a moderate diet, and the frequency of killing pigs is lower than before.

Actually, being a butcher is very tiring. I have to carry dozens of pounds of pork every day, and chopping pork and bones every day is manual labor. But now it's much easier than before. Butchers don't live as long as people say. It's just an ordinary occupation. Everyone's health needs to develop good living habits, regular diet, good mentality, reasonable work and rest, and strengthen exercise all the year round in order to have a healthy body.
