| During the Lunar New Year, farmers in many places in Nghe An such as Dien Chau, Yen Thanh, Do Luong, Thanh Chuong... often slaughter pigs together, sharing meat for Tet. Mr. Nguyen Xuan Cuong in Dong Ban hamlet, Lang Thanh commune (Yen Thanh) said that this Tet, 4 brothers in the family slaughtered a pig weighing more than 40 kg, for 3.2 million VND. To ensure hygiene, before slaughtering, they washed the pig clean with water. The intestines were eaten by the children and grandchildren to celebrate the New Year, family reunion, and the meat was divided equally among 4 families. Photo: Xuan Hoang |

| To ensure delicious, clean pork, people often choose pigs with firm meat, raised on rice bran, corn, vegetables, bananas... called clean pigs. People with experience in choosing pigs say that pigs with thick hair are usually lean and firm. In Dien Nguyen commune (Dien Chau), it is also common for people to slaughter pigs together for Tet in the hamlets. People say that slaughtering pigs together is much cheaper than buying meat at the market, and more importantly, the quality of the meat is guaranteed. Photo: Quang An |

| Based on the number of households living together, after the pig is slaughtered, the meat is divided into small portions, ensuring that every household has thigh, shoulder, and belly meat. Photo: Quang An |

| After slaughtering, they immediately distribute the pork to families, so it is fresher and cheaper than meat sold on the market. Photo: Quang An |

| Not only pigs, but also buffaloes and cows are slaughtered together, the bigger the animal, the more households participate. However, each household usually pays 1-2 million VND, and brings home 5-10 kg of meat to eat during Tet. Photo: Xuan Hoang |
