Pig Killer

"Fly covers, use straw fly covers to cover our pork." Shen Hui'e gave the order directly.

"Hey!" Li Nu ran into the house and took out the fly screen, and covered the pork on the chopping board with it.

"Mother, what should we do with the pork on the iron hook?" The cat slave took out a straw fan and fanned it to drive away the flies.

Shen Hui'e clenched her jaw and learned from the natives' memory that flies could be killed by fly masks, straw fans, or fly swatters, all purely human means.

Or you can just ignore it, with flies flying around, and the buyers don’t care, they can just wash the pork and eat it, but Shen Hui’e couldn’t stand it and vomited first.

No one can stand having to fan yourself with your hands all the time!

Shen Hui'e looked up at the thatched roof and the straw curtains. It was so airtight that it would heat people to death in the summer.

Shen Hui'e thought about it and muttered, "It would be nice if there was a fan."

"Mom, you're hot! Let me fan you." The cat slave held the fan in both hands and fanned herself huffingly.

"I'm not hot. Look, there's no sweat on my forehead." Shen Hui'e shook her head and said, "Stop fanning me. You'll be sweating soon."

The raccoon stopped, looked at her with a sad face and said, "What will we do in summer?"

"We should continue to spend the summer the same way we did in the past," Shen Hui'e said to comfort them.

"Mother, mother, how do those nobles spend the summer?" The big tiger looked at her curiously and asked.

"They have ice in the summer, and the ice forms in the river in the winter." Shen Hui'e said, looking at them with warm eyes.

"Then the ice, won't it melt?" The raccoon looked at her with his big black grape-like eyes and said, "It will melt in the spring."

"They mine it from the river and then put it in the cellar. In summer, they put it in a bronze tripod. The house will be much cooler because of the presence of ice." Shen Hui'e said simply.

"It's not possible at home. We don't have a cellar." said the big tiger regretfully.

"Little fool, their cellar is as big as our house." Shen Hui'e shook her head and chuckled, "Besides, how do we mine this ice? It's hard to even smash it with our pebbles."

"That's right!" Da Chong scratched his head and looked at her and said, "Then we can only bear it."

"I'm afraid so." Shen Hui'e looked at them helplessly and said, electric fan? How can you make it move by itself? Power, power...

"What is that?" Shen Hui'e narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the small thing in the air.

"Ah!" Li Nu followed her line of sight and said, "That's a bamboo dragonfly. We have one too."

Shen Hui'e looked at the bamboo dragonfly falling from the sky with curved eyebrows and got it.

"After selling the meat, shall we go find your Uncle Liu?" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with eyes like glass beads filled with smile.

"What do you want to see Uncle Liu for again?" Da Chong asked, looking at her expectantly with his dark eyes.

"Bamboo dragonfly." Shen Hui'e said with a grin.

"Mom, do you want to play?" The raccoon looked at her with his bright eyes and said with a smile, "We have some at home, too."

"No." Shen Hui'e looked at them with bright eyes and said, "But I have a brilliant idea, I wonder if it will work?"

"What do you mean?" The big bug looked at her expectantly with his black eyes and said, "What good stuff?"

"After we finish our meal, we'll go find your Uncle Liu." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with a smile in her eyes.

"We have to make good things again." Li Nu said with shining eyes.

"Yes!" Shen Hui'e looked at them with clear eyes and said, "It's hard to explain now. Let's see if you can figure it out when we meet your uncle Liu later."

"Well then!" The tiger had no choice but to say, "Someone is coming." He smiled and looked at the visitor and said, "Auntie, you are here so early!"

"Morning!"

"Your little grandson is almost one month old!" Da Chong said with a smile, "He has gained weight. He is the cutest when he is white and plump."

"Yes! Yes! These arms and legs are like lotus root nodes."

"Pig's trotters stewed with soybeans are the best for producing milk." Da Chong looked at her with his black eyes and said, "The pig's trotters are very fat today!"

"Weigh two pig's trotters for me first."

"Okay!" The big tiger looked up at his mother and said, "Mother!"

His own mother looked at him with a smile on her face. The big insect called out again, "Mother." and reminded him, "Pig's trotters!"

"Okay!" Shen Hui'e took two cleaned pig's trotters, weighed them, and put them into the buyer's basket.

"What else do you want?" the tiger asked enthusiastically, "The meat is very fat today!"

"Give me another pound of meat, with more fat."

"Okay!" Shen Hui'e cut a piece of pork belly, put it on the scale, tied it up with a hemp rope, handed it to the buyer, and quoted a price.

The buyer counted the money and handed it to the big insect, saying with a smile, "Mrs. Pig Killer, you are so lucky!"

"You are so lucky." Shen Hui'e smiled and said, "Are we going to hold a full-month banquet?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Why not?" The buyer smiled brighter than the rising sun, "You have to save this pork for me in advance."

"No problem. I'll reserve as much as you need." Shen Hui'e said readily.

"I'll go home and do the math, and then I'll write you a letter."

"Okay!" Shen Hui'e nodded with a smile.

"I'm leaving now, you go ahead and do your work!" The buyer said with a smile as he looked at them while holding his basket.

"Goodbye." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at her back with a smile.

After Shen Hui'e watched the buyer leave, she tilted her head slightly and looked at her son and said, "When did you become so sweet?"

"I learned this from my mother. You never lose out if you speak sweetly. It doesn't cost money to make aunts and sisters-in-law happy. Only when they pay you will they be happy." The tiger looked at her and said with a smile, "Harmony brings wealth. Don't hit a smiling person."

"How do you know that someone has a new baby in their family? You remember it so clearly." Shen Hui'e looked at him in surprise and said.

"She is always the first one to come these days, and she always praises her grandson every time she comes. How can you not remember this?" Da Chong looked at her with a smile and said, "We are all neighbors, how can she not know what's going on at home!"

"Look how capable you are." Shen Hui'e looked at him lovingly and said.

"I learned all this from my mother." Da Chong said cheerfully.

"I'll leave it to you next, you sweet-talking guy." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at the people who were coming one after another.

In no time, the pork was sold out.

The big bug looked at the sun in the sky and said with a smile, "It's selling a little faster than usual."

"You spoke sweet words today and made them very happy." Shen Hui'e shook her head and laughed when she heard it.

"Brother, how can you say that?" Li Nu pursed his lips and said, "I don't think I can say it."

"What's the big deal? Just praise them for being beautiful! Their new clothes are beautiful, or praise their children." The big tiger looked at her with his black eyes and said, "Women like to hear it." He smiled and said, "If you can't say it, I will say it."
