Pig Killer

"Brother, brother, what are you doing with the pig hair? It's so black and dirty, aren't you afraid?" Shen Penglai asked, looking at the small sack in Shen Changsheng's hand, "Throw it away! Why are you still holding it in the sack?"

Unexpectedly, the pig hair collected by the eldest nephew and niece was not thrown away, but was taken away by the eldest brother. What was he doing?

"It works!" Shen Changsheng looked at him mysteriously and said.

"What's the use?" Shen Penglai looked at him curiously and said.

"You'll know when you get back. I can't explain it to you now." Shen Changsheng looked at them with a gentle expression and said, "Let's go!"

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law." Shen Hui'e called Tie Feng.

"Second sister, what's the matter?" Tie Feng turned around and looked at her and asked.

"Make two iron hooks for me." Shen Hui'e gestured with her fingers, "They should be bigger and thicker."

Shen Changsheng looked at her with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "What do you want an iron hook for? And a big one."

"Hang the pork." Shen Hui'e stood in front of the meat stall, pointing at the thatched roof and gesturing from top to bottom. "This way the meat will be smooth to cut, with alternating fat and lean parts." She then added, "It's also convenient to carry it if you tie it up in long strips with a hemp rope. Otherwise, the basket will be greasy and hard to wash."

Shen Changsheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, "That's right! It will be convenient for the neighbors."

"Yes! It is convenient for others and for yourself." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with eyes as clear as water.

"Second sister, do you have a good business sense?" Shen Penglai looked at her happily and said.

"If you want to do good business, you have to think of a way!" Shen Hui'e said to them with bright eyes.

"Why didn't you mention it when your brother-in-law was here?" Shen Penglai looked at her with pure eyes and asked with pure curiosity.

"Your brother-in-law is a good butcher and is well-known far and wide. He doesn't have to worry about selling. Why should I worry about it?" Shen Hui'e said without blushing, "He has been gone for almost half a year, and our butcher shop has not been open for half a year." She looked at them with a raised eyebrow and said, "I have to find a way to attract customers back!"

"Yeah, yeah!" Shen Penglai nodded vigorously after hearing this, "Second sister is right."

"Such an iron hook needs an iron chain to make it strong." Tie Feng looked up at the thatched roof and said after careful consideration.

"I'll leave this matter to you. Just do as your second sister says." Shen Changsheng patted Tie Feng on the shoulder.

"Hey!" Tie Feng responded cheerfully, "The hook is ready. I'll hang it up for my second sister."

"Thank you." Shen Hui'e clasped her hands and bowed.

"Second sister, why are you being so polite? We are a family." Tie Feng said embarrassedly, "I will get it ready for you as soon as possible."

"Let's go." Shen Changsheng raised his eyes and looked at the three of them gently.

"Let's go!" Shen Hui'e watched them leave.

Shen Hui'e sent the Shen brothers away, and then placed the divided meat on the stall.

After removing the internal organs from the hundred or so pounds of meat, there wasn't much meat left.

The wealthy families in the county bought some, and the middle-aged women and young wives who came to buy vegetables bought some more. The vegetables were sold out by the time the sun was mid-sky.

Shen Hui'e kept the pork fat to make oil for consumption. Vegetable oil is not easy to obtain, so we eat animal oil. As for the three highs, they don't exist now. They are just lacking in oil, good, their bodies cannot have oil!

Shen Hui'e sat beside the well, using wood ash to wash the pig's large intestines, kidneys, and offal thoroughly.

In fact, it is best to wash the pig intestines with flour, but Shen Hui'e dared not do that! It's too wasteful.

"Smell it, is there still any smell?" Shen Hui'e held the pig intestine in front of the cat slave and smelled it.

"It doesn't stink that much!" The raccoon sniffed and looked at her with sparkling Black Grape eyes.

"Of course it doesn't stink anymore. After applying pepper powder and removing the fishy smell, it will be even less smelly." Shen Hui'e said to them with her bright eyes.

"How do we eat this?" Da Chong said in a muffled voice, pinching his nose. To be honest, the taste was not very good.

"Let's cook it first, and then we can roast it. It's crunchy!" Shen Hui'e said while slurping her saliva, looking like a greedy cat.

"Then do it quickly, mother!" urged the tiger.

"What should we do with this pig's head, mother?" Li Nu looked at the pig's head with wet eyes and said worriedly, "This clay pot is too small to fit in."

"It's simple. We'll smoke the pig's head with fire." Shen Hui'e smiled at them with her black pupils. That smile seemed to bring about a drizzle of apricot blossoms and a spring breeze.

Shen Hui'e washed all the pig offal, and the Huang family and the Shen family sent people over, carrying vegetable baskets with wooden basins inside.

Shen Hui'e distributed the pig's blood and offal to them and said, "As for how to eat it, go home and ask your father."

"My father?" Huang Yuanji looked at her with his eyes wide open and said, "Second Aunt, my father doesn't know how to cook! He has never cooked before."

"I didn't ask your father to do it. I told him how to do it. He just needs to move his mouth." Shen Hui'e's obsidian eyes reflected the fragmented sunlight and looked at them and said, "If you want it to taste good, the method is very important. If you don't mind, then just cook the porridge according to your method."

"Got it, let's go home and tell our mother and grandmother." Huang Yuanji said cheerfully, "Second Aunt, we're leaving."

"Aunt, we're leaving too!" The child from the Shen family looked at her and said.

"Wait a minute, come back this afternoon. I plan to smoke this pig's head." Shen Hui'e said to them with clear eyes.

"This is not good! Second Aunt, you should just sell it!" Huang Yuanji swallowed and finally refused decisively.

"It's the first day of opening, so I'll let you guys taste the food. Please spread the word for me." Shen Hui'e said to them with her bright eyes.

"Hey!" Huang Yuanji replied happily, "I'll go from street to street to spread the word for you."

"The same goes for us." The Shen brothers and sisters also responded.

"Then we won't bother you anymore, Aunt." Huang Yuanji said to her while holding the basket.

"Li Nu and Da Chong, send them off." Shen Hui'e ordered when she saw this.

"Hey!" The big tiger brother and sister sent their cousins ​​out.

When I came back, I saw my mother starting to cook pig intestines in a clay pot.

"Give the remaining pig blood and offal to Cheng Donglai and the others later." Shen Hui'e looked up at the two people who came into the room and said.

"Hey! I'll wait outside." The big tiger said hurriedly when he heard it, and walked out carrying the wicker basket.

Shen Hui'e looked at his back with her deep and clear eyes and said, "Tell them what to do."

Hearing this, the big tiger stopped and turned around to look at his mother and said, "I guess they don't have any conditions for this!"

"Forget it, let them do whatever they want! Just cook it until it's cooked." Shen Hui'e looked at him with clear eyes and said, "Go!"

"Hey!" the big tiger responded crisply, went out with the basket, and came back soon.

"So fast?" The raccoon looked at him with surprise in his black grape-like eyes.
