Pig Killer

"I don't know how much it is either." Shen Hui'e pointed to the cobblestones next to the earthen stove and said, "I just wanted to make a cooking utensil like this out of iron."

"Made of iron?" Shen Changsheng said, staring at the pebbles.

"Yes! These pebbles are often burned by fire and will be broken into powder." Shen Hui'e looked at him with deep and bright eyes and said, "This iron is not afraid of fire." She smiled and said, "Even if it is broken, it can be sent to the blacksmith shop for repair. Farm tools are like this!"

"It should be easy to make a good iron plate." Shen Changsheng said with a smile, "Your brother-in-law is a blacksmith, why not just ask him."

"They are running a small business and life is not easy for them. It's not good for me to sell on credit!" Shen Hui'e looked at him seriously with her dark pupils.

"Okay! I'll lend you the money." Shen Changsheng looked at her lovingly and said, "On my way home, I'll pass by the blacksmith shop and tell my brother-in-law."

"No, no, no!" Shen Hui'e quickly stopped him and said, "I think the iron plate can't be like an iron plate."

"What do you mean?" Shen Changsheng looked at her in confusion and said, "Isn't it an iron plate?"

"It's just a simple iron plate, it can only be used for grilling." Shen Hui'e looked at him with great enthusiasm and said, "Not only can it be used for grilling, but it can also be used for making porridge, stewing fish, and stewing meat."

The big iron pan can be used for frying, stir-frying, and deep-frying.

"Your thing is more useful than a clay pot." Shen Changsheng looked at her with a helpless smile.

"You have to use it more often. This is iron. If you don't use it more, I will be in trouble!" Shen Hui'e said with a graceful roll of her eyes.

"That's easy too. Just roll up the iron plate." Shen Changsheng said simply and easily, "This way it can hold water."

"Is it just like our water scoop?" Shen Hui'e said with her dark and bright eyes rolling around.

"Water scoop?" Shen Changsheng blinked and thought about it.

"Uncle, this is it." Li Nu took the ladle from the water tank and handed it to his uncle.

Shen Changsheng took the ladle and looked at it from top to bottom and left to right. "Like this?" He then placed it on the stove and gestured. "It looks better than a clay pot. It's also more convenient to hold. You don't have to worry about your hands slipping."

"Make it bigger." Shen Hui'e stretched out her hand and made a big circle.

"You have a family of three, why do you need such a big house?" Shen Changsheng looked at her in confusion.

"Cook the meat in front of the butcher's stall!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with bright eyes and said, "This way the pork will sell better."

"Haha..." Shen Changsheng shook his head and laughed, "It's like you sell rabbit meat and grill it on cobblestones."

"That's right." Shen Hui'e looked at him excitedly and said, "Otherwise, how could my rabbit meat sell so well?"

Shen Changsheng smiled and said, "It really sells well."

"As a seller, I need to think from the perspective of the buyer. In short, how to make it delicious. There are few ways to make it now. It's either stewed or steamed, and it's not delicious." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her dark and deep eyes emitting a charming luster and said, "The sky is big, the earth is big, but eating is the most important!"

"You really tried every possible way to sell pork." Shen Changsheng looked at her gently and smiled.

"Of course, a pig is just a pig. Why should people buy yours?" Shen Hui'e said to them with her crystal clear eyes flashing with jade light.

"Mother, your eyes light up when you mention food!" said the tiger, pointing to its own eyes.

"You too, you're drooling!" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at him with eyes as gentle as jade.

The big bug quickly wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "No!"

"Little fool." Shen Hui'e looked at him with bright eyes and laughed, "It's just a metaphor, you take it seriously!"

"I really thought you were drooling!" said the big tiger with a silly smile.

"Okay! On my way back, I'll discuss this with my brother-in-law. Look at this iron..." Shen Changsheng blinked and looked at her and said, "Iron? What should I call it?"

"Iron pot?" Shen Hui'e's dark eyes looked at them and said, "How do you make an iron pot to distinguish it from a clay pot?"

"It's an iron pot, you have the final say." Shen Changsheng looked at her with a smile and said, "If the food cooked here is delicious, my brother-in-law can make a lot of money as a blacksmith!"

"That's right!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with sparkling eyes and said worriedly, "But is this iron enough?"

"Oh! Iron is under the control of the imperial court, it's really hard to get!" Shen Changsheng pondered for a moment before saying, "Don't worry, I can get iron by using my connections."

"You'd better be careful. Ironware is a controlled item. Don't break the law. The criminal law is strict." Shen Hui'e looked at him nervously and said.

"I know my limits." Shen Changsheng chuckled and said, "How can it violate the criminal law? People are not so strict about ironware. It's just that iron ore is hard to find and difficult to mine."

"These are all in the hands of the court. Ordinary people shouldn't even think about it." Shen Hui'e shook her head slightly when she heard this.

"It depends on the situation. We can do this business as long as it can!" Shen Changsheng said to her with gentle eyes.

"Um... how is my brother-in-law's blacksmithing skill?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with clear eyes and said, "There are some particularities in blacksmithing. It can't be too fragile. If it breaks before it can be used, it will not be durable enough."

This iron pan is not made properly. Not only is it not durable, but the food cooked in it is not tasty either!

There are technical requirements for forging. From the memory of the indigenous people, it seems that the fuel now is mainly firewood, which has a low heat.

I don't know if this iron pan can meet my requirements.

and many more!

Shen Hui'e's pupils suddenly shrank. During this period, the forging of bronze ware was well developed, so a copper pot would be fine!

I just don't know if it will work. I'll ask my brother-in-law later.

Shen Changsheng shook his head and chuckled when he heard this, "Don't worry about this! Our brother-in-law Tiefeng is a good blacksmith. These farm tools were made by him. They are very durable."

Shen Hui'e looked at him with her dark eyes and said, "Tomorrow, after I sell the pork, let's go to my brother-in-law's blacksmith shop together."

"Brother, brother, my sister is back! I saw the pigs in the yard." Shen Penglai walked in hurriedly and said.

"You kid, I asked you to pick up your sister? Where have you been?" Shen Changsheng said with a stern face as he looked at his third brother who walked in.

The names of these two brothers are really interesting. Changsheng, the homonym of Penglai, is Penglai. This means they are thinking about immortality! Shen Hui'e complained in her heart.

Shen Penglai was a tall and strong man. He walked in with his head lowered and instantly felt the room was small.

Compared with the gentle-looking Shen Changsheng, Shen Penglai is very rough, as strong as a mountain, with healthy wheat-colored skin, and the same thick eyebrows and big eyes like copper bells.

Fortunately, he doesn’t have a beard, otherwise he would look like the fierce Zhang Fei.

"I'm going the wrong way." Shen Peng said in a loud voice.
