Zhen Yue looked at her and said, "If bandits come and we hide in the cellar, and there are villagers outside who know about our cellar, what do you think will happen then?"

Qian understood immediately and waved her hand, "Don't let others know."

Zhen Yue: "Your mother forbids you to tell anyone. If you tell anyone, you will bear the consequences yourself."

Qian nodded, "I know, I know."

Before the day of slaughtering the pig, the family was busy burning charcoal. One furnace after another of charcoal was burned, and there were several backpacks filled with charcoal piled in the corner of the kitchen.

All the firewood was chopped by Li San. Every morning, Li San would put the firewood at the door and Qiao Dashan would bring it in.

Five days passed quickly. When the butcher arrived at the Qiao family's house and saw the two big fat pigs, he was shocked and asked, "How did you raise them? How did they grow so big?"

The men who came to help also surrounded the pig and looked at it. "What a big pig! This is the first time I've seen such a fat pig. It must be well fed."

Qiao Dashan smiled with his teeth showing. "No, they just eat some pig grass and radish leaves, and occasionally some vegetables grown at home."

Everyone thought that the pig was fed rotten vegetable leaves. "If that's the case, how could the pig be so big?"

Qiao Dashan scratched his head and said, "Maybe..." He suddenly felt embarrassed to say it out loud.

Qiao Er on the side said: "We cut off the pig's thing. My sister-in-law said that it will grow better this way."

"What? What is that?" Everyone was very confused.

Only the butcher understood what he heard. He squatted beside the pig and felt down... sure enough.

The others understood what he said, and they opened their mouths wide and suddenly felt a chill under their bodies. "You... who did you say was cut?"

Qiao Er: "My sister-in-law did it."

"Hiss!" Everyone suddenly looked over there at Qiao Chao, and then looked down at him.

Qiao Chao: ...

The butcher patted the fat pig on the back again and said, "Let's boil some water and get ready. Kill one first and cover the eyes of the second one so it can't see. Get the basin ready to collect the pig's blood."

"Row."

Boil water, sharpen the knife, and tie up the fat pig with a rope...

"Ah~~~~~~" With a shrill cry, blood spurted out from the pig's neck. The big fat pig was pinned on the wooden board by about seven or eight men, who could hardly hold it because the pig was so big.

Zhen Yue took a look around the house and then turned back to her room. Miserable! But the pork from this pig should be good. Zhen Yue covered Xiao Achu's ears, fearing that he would be frightened.

He didn't know what was going on yet. He just smiled at her and drooled as he smiled.

Xiaohua and the other two girls were also hiding in fear. The fat pig had been screaming for who knows how long before it finally ran out of energy to scream. Its eyes seemed tired and about to fall asleep. The pig's blood had already filled the basin.

As soon as the pig closed its eyes and its legs twitched and then stopped moving, the butcher began to cut up the pig's body.

There was a smell of blood in the air, and Zhen Yue heard the sound of a knife cutting into flesh in the room.

While slaughtering the pig, the butcher asked, "Are you selling this pig?" Although he could definitely eat the meat, he thought he could buy some to take home for his family to eat.

Qiao Dashan: "Sell half, and we'll take the remaining half out."

Others immediately said, "Sell me some."

Qiao Dashan: "Wait until the meat is ready. Let's eat the pig-killing meal first."

After killing one pig, they killed the second one. I don’t know if the second pig heard the screams of the first one, but its legs kept shaking. However, it was killed in the end, and there was another round of screams...

In the afternoon, some people came with tables, chairs, and some greens and wild vegetables to eat the pig-killing meal. They were all family members of the people who came to help.

Mrs. Qiao Chen and Mrs. Qian were already preparing in the kitchen.

"Aunt, I'm here to help. What should I do?" It was Qiao Song's wife Bao who came to help.

"Hey, could you just watch the fire for me, please?"

"Ok."

After a while, Aunt Jin came in to help. Some people were washing vegetables outside. There were also two pots in the yard for cooking.

After Xiao Achu fell asleep, Zhen Yue asked Xiaohua and the others to look after the child, and she went out to help.

Cutting radishes, washing vegetables, washing dishes... everyone has something to do.

The fragrance began to spread and was smelled by the Lin family not far away. Qiao Dashan did not go to the Lin family for help. After all, the two families had quarreled several times before, and the chickens in the family were killed by Lin Xiaohu. If he went there again, Zhen Yue might go crazy.

After Lin Xiaohu heard the sound, he kept shouting, "Mom, mom, I want to eat meat! I want to eat meat!"

Ma's stomach also growled and she licked her lips. Who wouldn't want to eat? But it was obvious that the Qiao family didn't welcome her over.

Lin Xiaohu continued to make trouble and was immediately beaten by Ma. "Why are you yelling? Who told you to provoke them? If you hadn't provoked them, we could have gone over to eat meat today."

She had just heard that the pigs raised by the Qiao family were particularly big.

At the Qiao family's side, the table had been set and the dishes were almost ready, and everyone was sitting at the table waiting for the food to be served.

The first dish is stewed radish with pork bones, followed by stir-fried pork with beans, scrambled eggs with leeks, a dish of sweet and sour pork, stir-fried pork with tofu, cabbage with vinegar, pig blood and wild vegetable soup, stir-fried pig intestines with sauerkraut, and finally a green vegetable.

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat."

There were seven tables in total, three for men and three for women and children. There was a cart next to Zhen Yue, and little Achu was lying in it. Zhen Yue ate her meal first and then fed him.

“This pork is delicious.”

"Meat, of course it's delicious."

"It's different. I think today's pork is really delicious."

"Of course free meat tastes good. Hahahaha."

The butcher on the other side was also eating meat. His eyes lit up after chewing. As a butcher, he had killed countless pigs and eaten countless pig-killing meals. This was the first time he saw such a fat, white pig. The pork was really different. It was very tender and delicious, with less fishy smell.

Some people also noticed the difference. The butcher suddenly asked, "Are both of your pigs really fed with pig grass and leaves?"

Qiao Dashan nodded, "Yes, we'll give them some wild fruits occasionally, but the pigpen must be kept clean every day."

Butcher: "So it's really because of the cutting of that thing? Who of you cut it?"

Qiao Dashan and Qiao Er both looked at Qiao Chao, who coughed and said, “The back one was done by my second brother, he has good skills.” Anyway, if he couldn’t admit that he did a good job, what would happen?

Qiao Er: ...Huh? How come he doesn't know that he has better skills? It's obvious that the eldest brother's hands are faster.

The butcher looked at Qiao Er and said, "I am also planning to raise pigs in the spring. Can you come and help me when the time comes? I will make one first. I won't let you help me for nothing. I will pay you. Just name a price."

Qiao Er: "Xiang the butcher, you still need my help? Can't you do it yourself?"

Butcher: "I only know how to kill pigs. I don't know how to do this."

Qiao Er: "Come and find me when the time comes."

"Row."
