Pig Killer

"Yes! It's not easy for me to be a concubine. I am bound by many rules and it's not pleasant to have to look at other people's faces." Shen Changsheng looked at his sister tenderly and said, "When I have money, I can hire people to farm the land. It's not bad to be a rich man. The hard work will only last for a few years."

"People! Don't be too greedy. How can you have everything you want?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with deep and bright eyes and said frankly, "I have never blamed my father. With a skill in hand, I don't have to worry about food and drink."

"That's right." Shen Changsheng nodded vigorously.

Shen Hui'e looked at him with clear eyes and said, "Brother! Let me lend you some bamboo slips."

"No problem, I'll send it to you later." Shen Changsheng responded happily.

"It would be best if these bamboo slips were like short stories, so that the children can listen to them when I read them." Shen Hui'e said with a gentle smile like spring breeze in her eyes.

"Then there are many stories recorded in history." Shen Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "I see. I'll look for it." He looked at her with his dark eyes and said, "People's enlightenment was all from the books of sages."

"I don't like dull truths." Shen Hui'e hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's easier to remember if you tell the truth in a story."

"You are just like when you were a kid, falling asleep while reading the works of various philosophers." Shen Changsheng said with more tenderness in his eyes, "You like reading history books."

"History books are interesting!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with her glazed eyes and said, "All I need to do is read and understand the truth and not be deceived. Is there anything higher that I can pursue?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Changsheng closed his eyes, looked at her helplessly and said, "That's not the case."

"That's it." Shen Hui'e looked at him calmly and said.

"Is there anything else?" Shen Changsheng looked at her with bright eyes.

"I'm fine." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her bright eyes.

"Then I'll leave." Shen Changsheng stood up and shook his gown.

"I'll see you off." Shen Hui'e stood up and sent Shen Changsheng out with the children.

Shen Hui'e stood at the door and watched him leave, saying, "Hurry up, go brush your teeth."

"How do you brush it?" The raccoon asked her with his eyes like black grapes.

"I'll teach you. Let's brush it with clean water." Shen Hui'e looked at them with eyes as gentle as jade and said, without toothpaste they would have to make do with this for now.

Take your time and everything will be fine.

"How do you feel?" Shen Hui'e looked at them worriedly and asked, "Does the pig hair prick you?"

"It doesn't sting!" The big insect blinked its black eyes and looked at her and said, "There's no stickiness in my mouth at all."

"Yes!" Shen Hui'e smiled as she looked at him and said, "To protect our teeth, we must brush them morning and night."

"Protect your teeth?" The raccoon asked, looking at her in confusion.

"When they get older, their teeth get bad or even gone," Shen Hui'e said simply and plainly, "Brush your teeth every morning and evening, and we won't end up like them when we get their age." She added gently, "Only if you have teeth can you always eat delicious food."

"Hmm..." The raccoon covered his mouth and groaned, "Don't lose your teeth. It's ugly without teeth." He put his hand down and said seriously, "I will brush my teeth obediently."

"So good!" Shen Hui'e looked at them with eyes as gentle as jade, and said with green light in her eyes, "Now we have an iron plate, let's try it."

"What to eat?" The cat slave looked at her happily and said.

"Refine the pig fat first and collect it." Shen Hui'e looked at them brightly and said.

The iron plate is flat, so it is slightly higher on one side and lower on the other. The low part is caught in a clean earthenware jar to collect the lard.

The lard makes a sizzling sound on the iron plate, which is particularly pleasant to listen to.

The refined oil slid into the clay pot, and the pork fat was roasted into a golden color.

"Mom, can I eat this?" The cat slave asked her while smacking his lips.

"It's edible! Do you want to try it?" Shen Hui'e looked at her greedy face with amusement and said, "Wait a minute, let me add some salt." She sprinkled a little salt on it, then put the golden lard residue into their stoneware bowl, "Try it!"

The brother and sister put the lard residue into their mouths, looked at their mother with sparkling eyes and said, "It smells good! It tastes good! The more you chew it, the more delicious it becomes. It's crispy and crunchy."

"It smells a bit fishy." Li Nu pursed his lips and looked at her and said.

"We mainly want the lard, so we didn't add pepper powder." Shen Hui'e ran her index finger across her brow and said, "Big Chong, go get some pepper granules and put them on the iron plate."

"Hey!" The big tiger jumped off the bed, ran to the low couch, grabbed some peppercorns from the earthenware jar and placed them on the iron plate.

Shen Hui'e put some pork fat on top of the peppercorns. After the sizzling sound, the air was filled with the rich aroma of the peppercorns.

"This lard residue is even more fragrant." Da Chong looked at her with sparkling eyes and said.

"Then eat it!" Shen Hui'e collected some lard. The lard from a pig is always limited, and it will accumulate over time.

"Ah!" the cat slave screamed.

"What's wrong?" Da Chong looked at her with concern and asked.

"The lard has turned white, and also..." The raccoon scratched his head and said, "I don't know how to describe it."

"It's solidified." Shen Hui'e looked at them with clear eyes and said.

"Then how do we eat it?" asked the big insect curiously.

"For grilling, put the lard on the iron plate with chopsticks and it will melt quickly." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her clear eyes and said, "It's spring now, and there are more vegetables. Cooking with lard will be very delicious."

"It must be delicious if it smells this good." Da Chong rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "I can't wait."

People cannot live without vegetables, otherwise it will be difficult to go to the toilet.

The crackling sound reminded her that she didn't want to think about it anymore.

Shen Hui'e and the others ate some lard and drank some water to try out the iron plate, and it started boiling!

It was getting dark, and I simply washed up and lay down on the bed.

It's pitch dark.

"Mother, mother, why are you helping that uncle's piglets?" The raccoon slave who was lying flat on his back moved his body to lie on his side and faced her. He waited for a long time but his mother didn't say anything. "Why don't you say anything? She must have fallen asleep." Then he heard her snoring like thunder, "Snoring... Hush..."

"Shh... stop talking, mother has fallen asleep." Da Chong looked past his mother and said to the girl not far away.

"Oh! Let's go to sleep. I won't say anything more." Li Nu said obediently, shrank towards his mother and closed his eyes.

Shen Hui'e continued to snore, and only let out a sigh of relief when everyone around her had quieted down.

How could she ask this question now? She could only pretend to be asleep.

Once Shen Changsheng brings the bamboo slips, we will have something to talk about in the evening.
