Pig Killer

"Yeah! Pig farmers are not bad either." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her bright eyes and said, "Pigs are treasures from head to toe." She smiled and said, "If you want to be rich, raise more pigs."

"My mother is interested. She used to think pigs were too smelly. This year, we are raising pigs, and we even raised a few more." Huang Bochang said with a smile on his face, "My sister-in-law will go and remove the pigs' eggs later."

"Okay!" Shen Hui'e responded readily.

"I raise a lot of pigs, and they eat a lot. I don't know what to feed them?" Huang Jichang said with a worried look on his face.

Pig feed mainly consists of corn, but now it is unavailable. People already eat wheat bran, so how can they afford to feed it to pigs?

Soybean meal. Nowadays, soybeans are steamed into soybean rice, which is eaten as a whole, without any soybean meal!

Soybean meal, the residue left when extracting oil, and the residue left when grinding tofu.

But there is none now.

"I wonder if these fish, shrimps and pigs can eat them?" Huang Jichang asked them with his dark eyes.

"It should be edible! Even pigs eat this feces." Shen Changsheng asked, looking at him with his dark eyes.

"Pigs eat a lot of different things, so you have to cook this. I'm afraid eating raw pork will give me diarrhea." Shen Hui'e instructed carefully.

"I'll remember that." Huang Bochang nodded seriously, "Go back and try a small amount first."

"People go up, water flows down! If not for yourself, you have to consider the children!" Shen Hui'e looked at them with her dark and clear eyes and said, "It's not that I dislike the son of a butcher, but it's not nice to hear." She smiled and said, "Although they are enjoying it now, people have to grow up eventually." She smiled and said, "Of course, I don't mind the job of slaughtering pigs. I don't care too much about other people's opinions."

"There's not much we can do. We should learn a skill or do some farming." Huang Bochang looked at them soberly and said.

"Scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, let them choose!" Shen Hui'e said, looking at them with her bright eyes.

"We can't be as good as Second Sister-in-law." Huang Jichang thought for a while and said, "These scholars are all from noble families and are recommended! It's not our turn. We can only be farmers, businessmen and industrialists."

"Recommendation?" Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows and looked at them and said, "It's not that difficult, actually?"

"How can it not be difficult? Why would anyone recommend you? Our place is small, there aren't any big shots here, and there's nothing that would catch the eyes of big shots." Huang Bochang said, looking straight into her eyes.

"Money makes the world go round." Shen Hui'e looked at them with clear eyes and said, "It's very feasible."

In a country where officials are the most important, we should still actively strive to become scholars.

Otherwise, even if you have money, you can’t keep it!

Even a high-ranking official can crush someone to death, let alone a commoner like me. It is as easy for powerful people to crush me as it is to crush an ant.

Don't call her snobbish, this is the reality!

I don't want to do anything big. With the current system, I can just hold a position as an official in the county, or be a minor official.

Nowadays, transportation is slow and one can only work hard in one place all his life.

"How much does that cost?" Huang Jichang couldn't help but smack his lips.

"I don't know. Anyway, the more the better. Let's earn it!" Shen Hui'e said simply and easily.

"Look, second sister-in-law, you sound very relaxed." Huang Jichang shook his head and laughed when he heard it.

"No matter what, make more money." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her dark and penetrating eyes and said, "With money, you can always do anything with confidence."

"That's right. Without money, you can't do anything." Huang Bochang nodded in agreement. "Sister-in-law, is the big iron pot ready?"

"Not yet?" Shen Hui'e said with a little regret.

"Sister-in-law, how big is that iron pot?" Huang Jichang asked curiously.

"Oh! What I imagined was that you should buckle it on your back and carry it on your back." Shen Hui'e slowed down and pointed at Huang Jichang's back.

"How big must it be!" Huang Jichang looked at her in amazement.

"It can cook a whole pig." Shen Hui'e said to them with bright eyes.

"You sell pork, why are you cooking meat?" Huang Jichang looked at her with some confusion.

"The current method of cooking pork is simple and crude, and it doesn't taste good." Shen Hui'e looked at them with bright eyes and said, "If it tastes good, my meat will sell quickly." She smiled and said, "Pork is cheap and can't be sold at a high price. If it is cooked well, it can be sold at a high price."

"Then why do we need to use an iron pot?" Huang Bochang looked at her out of pure curiosity and asked.

"I can't lift those clay pots, basins, and jars by myself. If they break, they will be broken into pieces! We don't have kilns here." Shen Hui'e looked at them with eyes like black jade and said, "This iron pot is broken. You can melt it down and recast it, or repair it."

"Now that my second sister-in-law has reminded me, we need to check the farm tools and send those that need repair to Tiefeng." Huang Jichang nodded vigorously.

"Actually, a bronze tripod would also work."

As soon as Shen Hui'e finished speaking, Shen Changsheng said, "No, no, we are not qualified to use the bronze tripod. Only the nobles can use it. Don't say that."

Shen Hui'e smiled slightly when she heard this and said, "So, only a big iron pot is suitable. Foods made in a big iron pot are delicious."

"How do you know? It hasn't been released yet, has it?" Huang Jichang asked with a smile.

"Teppanyaki! The meat grilled here tastes better than the one grilled on pebbles!" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with a smile in her eyes.

"Yes, yes!" Huang Bochang nodded with a smile, "We have eaten it, and it is roasted quickly."

"I racked my brains to come up with a plan to invite back all the lost customers." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her dark and bright eyes and said, "I've been thinking about it in my dreams."

"Neighbors all went to your butcher stall to buy meat, so the Xiong brothers came to your house in a rage to make trouble!" Shen Changsheng looked at her with deep eyes and said, "The effect is too obvious."

"That's right!" Shen Hui'e said proudly with her chin slightly raised.

Shen Hui'e's inky black eyes looked at the butcher shop from afar and said, "We're here!"

"We're here." Huang Bochang said as he squinted his eyes and looked at the butcher shop in front of him.

"Why is there no one here?" Huang Jichang looked up at the sun and said, "It's not even noon yet!"

Shen Hui'e rubbed her nose with her index finger and said embarrassedly, "If there was meat to sell, you wouldn't have to bother me." It seems that she really can't make ends meet anymore.

"Let's go! Let's go forward and take a look." Shen Changsheng said, looking around with his dark eyes.

"Is anyone there?" Huang Jichang shouted from the stall. No one answered, so he raised his voice and asked again, "Is anyone there?"

"We're not selling pork today. We're closed." A gruff voice came from inside.

"It's me! Open the door." Shen Hui'e said, "You should be able to recognize my voice! You shouldn't be so forgetful!"

There was a ping-ping-pong-pong sound coming from inside.

Shen Hui'e rolled her eyes gracefully and said, "Don't worry, I'm not looking for a fight, no need to bring weapons."
