Pig Killer

"After selling the meat and writing the characters, we can go play." Shen Hui'e looked at them with eyes as gentle as jade and said, standing up straight and looking at the Shen brothers and the Huang brothers, "Are you relieved now?"

"Don't worry!" Shen Changsheng looked at her gently and said.

The Huang brothers nodded and said, "Second sister-in-law really supports the family."

"You guys! Help me find out who has a pig to kill..."

Shen Hui'e hadn't finished her words yet! Huang Jichang patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law! This pig can't run away."

"Thank you in advance." Shen Hui'e looked at them gratefully and said.

"Why are you thanking me?" Huang Bochang looked at her and said with a smile, "It's already bright outside, so let's go and not delay your stall."

"Take the pig blood back." Shen Hui'e called out to them.

"If we can't take it away, how can we get it?" Huang Jichang spread his hands and said, "Let's ask our Huang Que'er to bring the wooden basin later."

"Okay then!" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her bright eyes.

There is no big iron pot now and the clay pot is too small, so it’s better to separate the pig offal.

"Is this pig offal delicious?" Shen Hui'e stopped them as they were about to leave and said.

"Pig offal? It tastes much worse than meat. It smells too bad." Shen Penglai said with a look of disgust, his eyes almost rolled to the back of his head, "There's really no other way at home, so we have to eat it. After all, it's meat!"

"That's because they don't know how to cook it. When it's done, it tastes better than meat." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her dark and shiny pupils, and then glanced at the pig's bladder in the raccoon slave's arms and said, "This can also be made into a delicacy."

"Is this a pig's bladder?" Shen Penglai suddenly raised his voice and asked, "You just washed it, you don't know what's inside." He said with some retching, "How can you eat that thing?"

"Wait until I make it and you'll know when you try it." Shen Hui'e looked at him calmly and said.

"No, no." Shen Penglai shook his head like a rattle and was determined not to try it.

Let's talk about it after it's done. I hope he won't be stubborn. Shen Hui'e complained in her heart.

"Let us help you move the meat to the stall!" Huang Bochang said, rolling up his sleeves.

"No, no, no, this is greasy, don't touch it." Shen Hui'e stretched out her hand to stop them from doing that. She looked at them with bright eyes and said, "The pork has been divided. It's not heavy. I can carry it."

"Okay then! Let's go." Huang Bochang waved his hand and said, "Don't see us off."

"Big Chong, Li Nu, see your uncle and uncles off." Shen Hui'e instructed the children.

"Hey!" Da Chong and Li Nu sent the Huang brothers away.

"Hui'e, I told my brother-in-law about your iron pot, and he said it's fine." Shen Changsheng looked at him gently and said, "Now let's see how big you want it to be."

"Hit as hard as you can." Shen Hui'e said readily, looking at Tie Feng with burning eyes.

Tie Feng is of medium height and as strong as an ox, with bronze skin, thick eyebrows like two caterpillars, leopard eyes like torches, and muscles in his arms like lumps of iron, which make his lambskin coat bulge.

This made Tie Feng stunned. He scratched his head and looked at her and said, "Second sister, you should give me a specific length."

"Specifically?" Shen Hui'e thought for a moment, then drew on the yellow earth with a branch, "The iron pot's straightness..." She suddenly stopped, swallowed the diameter, and changed her words, "Wide! As wide as an arm." She stretched out her arm and gestured, "The depth is as long as a forearm." She looked at him with deep eyes without blinking and said, "Can it be this big?"

"Yes!" Tie Feng nodded, looking at the iron pot on the ground.

"That's fine." Shen Hui'e looked at him with a smile in her eyes.

"It's just my first time making an iron pot. I need some time." Tie Feng said embarrassedly, "I have to figure it out while I'm making it."

"Time is not a problem, as long as we can succeed." Shen Hui'e looked at him with deep and clear eyes and said.

"Can you calculate how much it is? I'll give it to you." Shen Changsheng took out his purse and looked at him and said.

"Brother, what you said is true. How can I take your money when we are family?" Tie Feng waved his hands and refused.

"This iron pot is so big, it needs a lot of iron. If nothing else, I have to pay for the iron!" Shen Changsheng said firmly, urging, "Tell me how much it is?" Then he added, "If the food cooked in this iron pot is delicious, my family will definitely buy it. Can you afford it?"

"I don't know how much material to use now. I'll tell you after I figure it out and calculate it." Tie Feng said to his brother-in-law with his dark eyes.

"Okay then! I'll give you the money after the pot is cooked." Shen Changsheng said readily.

"Second sister, how thick should this iron pot be?" Tie Feng thought about it and looked at her and said, "If it's too thick, it will heat up slowly on the fire, and if it's too thin, it won't last long."

"How thick?" Shen Hui'e murmured to herself, her eyes rolling, "It should be a little thicker than a sickle!" She shook her index finger and said, "The purpose is to put this iron pot on our stove. The bottom of the pot will heat up, but it won't burn red."

"In that case?" Tie Feng looked at his second sister with some embarrassment and said, "This is the first time, I have to do it while watching, it takes time."

"It's okay, don't rush." ​​Shen Hui'e looked at him with clear eyes and said, "Take your time. The first time is new, the second time is familiar."

"It's enough to have Second Sister say this." Tie Feng looked at her embarrassedly and said, "I'm afraid I've delayed Second Sister's business."

"It's okay, it's okay." Shen Hui'e looked at him gently with her bright eyes.

"Then I'll go back and make you an iron pot now." Tie Feng said eagerly, "I also want to see if the food cooked in this iron pot is as delicious as my second sister said."

"Go! Go! I want to too." Shen Penglai urged when he heard it.

"You don't need to use an iron pan. If you have an iron plate at home, you can cook it later." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her dark and bright eyes and said, "Roasted rabbit meat, roasted pig blood..."

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, I'll come to your house for dinner later." Shen Penglai said directly, grabbing his arm and said, "Let Yun'e marinate the rabbit meat first."

"Okay!" Tie Feng chuckled and shook his head when he heard that.

"This pig blood doesn't need to be pickled, it's made from pepper and salt water." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her shiny black eyes and said, "Control the heat well, otherwise it will burn and turn into charcoal." She carefully instructed, "Roast slowly over low heat."

"I'll tell Yun'e about this." Tie Feng said softly, "I'm leaving now."

"We're leaving too." Shen Changsheng looked at her with his dark eyes and said, "Just tell me if you have anything to say. Don't keep it secret anymore."

"I understand, I understand." Shen Hui'e sent the three of them out.
