Pig Killer

"Did you go wrong?" Shen Changsheng glared at his third brother and raised his voice, "I think he went to watch cockfighting again!"

"How do you know?" Shen Penglai looked at him in surprise.

"Uncle San, there are chicken feathers on your head." Da Chong looked at him and said with a smile.

"Chicken feathers?" Shen Penglai reached out and touched his head in panic, and actually touched down two chicken feathers. He pinched the feathers with his fingers and hid them behind his back, laughing awkwardly, "Hehe..."

"What are you laughing at?" Shen Changsheng looked at him with a dark face.

"I'm waiting at the road I have to take. I'm watching the cockfight..." Shen Penglai changed the subject abruptly, "My second sister is back safely."

"You're someone's father, why are you still so out of touch?" Shen Changsheng scolded him with a stern face, "Have you had fun?"

"I didn't bet!" Shen Penglai said with a smile, "I just used our chicken to fight!" He said excitedly, "Xiao Hei is very good! He has no rivals in the world."

"You still say you didn't gamble!" Shen Changsheng slapped his thigh and glared at him angrily.

"A small bet, a small bet!" Shen Penglai said hurriedly upon seeing this, "It's not a big bet. I'm just betting with that bunch of idle guys. We all know each other and they don't have much money. If I win, I'll just treat everyone to a drink, which is just the cost of a meal." He smiled and said, "Spring plowing will start soon, so I can't play even if I want to." He muttered softly, "My brother-in-law also gambles, but I didn't see you scold him." His eyes wandered around.

This brat is talking about something that is not relevant to the topic. Shen Changsheng glared at him.

Shen Penglai realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly said, "Second sister, I think the pigs in the yard are quite fat."

"Oh! I've been raising it for two years." Shen Hui'e was stunned when she heard that, then she smiled and said, "It weighs more than 100 kilograms!"

"Second sister, when do you plan to kill him?" Shen Penglai asked enthusiastically again.

"Your sister is a prostitute, you are not allowed to eat or drink for free." Shen Changsheng kicked his calf.

Shen Penglai dodged his elder brother's kick and said with a playful smile, "Oh! I can't kick you." He hurriedly said, "No, no, how can I not give money! I know that my second sister's family is in trouble." He said loudly, "Not only should I give, but I should give more."

"Okay, stop playing tricks. How can I ask you for money?" Shen Hui'e chuckled and shook her head.

"Let him give it to him. He doesn't need money." Shen Changsheng said unhappily, "Opportunities are rare and will never come again."

"By the way! Let me show you something good." Shen Hui'e walked to the table and said while holding a clay jar.

"What is it?" Shen Penglai asked curiously.

"The word 'salt' is written on this clay pot. It's the same salt we eat. What's so special about it?" Shen Changsheng stared at the clay pot and said, "What's wrong? It's short of salt."

"What are you thinking about?" Shen Hui'e rolled her eyes and said, "Open it and take a look."

Shen Changsheng opened the lid and said, "What's so good about this..." He was stunned.

Shen Penglai stammered, "Why... why... why is this salt so white!"

In fact, it is far inferior to the snow-white salt. The purified salt is yellowish. There is no other way because of the simple conditions, so this is the effect we have now.

This is much better than the black salt cake. At least it is acceptable to look at and won’t make you feel traumatized when eating it.

"Oh my god." Shen Penglai's eyes almost popped out of his head. "How...how did you do this?"

"It's very simple! Dissolve the salt, filter it with linen, and then boil the brine dry, and the remaining particles will be like this." Shen Hui'e looked at them with clear eyes and said simply and easily.

"How did you come up with this idea?" Shen Changsheng looked at her deeply and said.

"I think this salt is black and has residue when you eat it. The solution is to clarify it." Shen Hui'e said without blushing or panting, "After the rain, the water in the well is turbid. Doesn't it need to be clarified?"

"Is it that simple?" Shen Penglai looked at her in disbelief.

"How difficult do you think it is? You can go back and try it now." Shen Hui'e looked at them with curved eyebrows and said, "I'll give you the method. As for how to maximize the benefits, you decide for yourself."

"Second sister, you are so careless to give it to us!" Shen Penglai looked at her in disbelief and said, "Do you know how much benefit this can bring? Salt is indispensable to every household."

"I know!" Shen Hui'e looked at them calmly and said, "But my family is only a small family. We are not high-ranking officials, nor are we wealthy merchants. We don't even have a salt mine. This is like a three-year-old child carrying a gold nugget and walking through the busy streets." She looked at them calmly and said, "This method is not difficult. Soon there will be many people following suit."

"Uh..." Shen Penglai's dream of getting rich was suddenly extinguished by her words, "My family has no power or influence, so we really need to think about it carefully."

"I'll remember this. I'll go back and think about it and come up with a proper solution." Shen Changsheng thought for a moment and said seriously, "We don't have that ability, so let's just do it once and for all."

Shen Hui'e nodded slightly when she heard this. This was the wisest approach.

In an age when human life is worthless, we must not be too greedy. It will be useless if we cannot protect a mountain of gold.

"It's getting late, let's go back." Shen Changsheng stood up and looked at them and said.

"I'll take you there." Shen Hui'e stood up and said.

Da Chong and Li Nu quickly got off the bed, "Uncle, Third Uncle."

Shen Changsheng called his third brother and said, "Let's go." As they walked, he said, "Why did you provoke those refugees! They..." He paused and said, "They are not easy to deal with."

"Haha..." Shen Hui'e smiled faintly when she heard it, "They are still children. It's not easy for them to be alone in an unfamiliar place. They are very capable." When she came back, she saw that a lot of pebbles had been piled at the base of the wall.

"Speaking of pebbles, what do you do with them?" Shen Penglai asked curiously.

"Please pave the ground! It's raining and it's muddy and impossible to walk." Shen Hui'e stomped on the ground.

"Ah!" Shen Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "Let's do it too. There are plenty of pebbles on the river beach."

"Hurry up," Shen Hui'e reminded them, "If you follow suit, you'll have to walk a long way."

"I understand." Shen Changsheng smiled and said, looking at them who had been sent to the doorstep, "Okay, stop sending me off." He looked at the pig still on the wheelbarrow in the yard and said, "Why isn't it awake yet?"

"It's almost there." Shen Hui'e looked back and said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a pig grunting. The big black pig realized its situation and started struggling and howling like a slaughtered pig.

"Oh my god! It's better to faint." Shen Changsheng shuddered and said, "I haven't even started the knife yet!" Then he added, "When are you going to kill the pig tomorrow?"
