Pig Killer

"Haha..." Shen Hui'e laughed heartily, "My son is right! No matter how things change, they still remain essentially the same." She smiled and said, "Come on! Plant this last bit."

"Hey!" the tiger responded crisply.

Shen Hui'e and the others planted the last few seeds in their hands, and watered the land with a watering can. Finally, the land was planted.

"Mother, we still have some loofah seeds!" said the cat slave, pointing at the remaining loofah seeds on the ground.

"Leave..." Shen Hui'e slammed on the brakes and based on the natives' memory, "plant it at the base of the wall."

"It's impossible to plant. The base of the wall is paved with pebbles." The tiger pointed at the base of the wall and said.

"Then keep it! We have enough to eat from what we grow at home." Shen Hui'e looked at them with eyes as clear as water and said, "I guess we will eat so much that we will vomit."

"Yes! Yes! After eating so much, my face turns green when I see the loofah." Li Nu said, touching his cheek.

"Don't waste the remaining seeds. Give them to Brother Cheng and his friends." The big insect said with a small mouth, "There will be no shortage of seeds in autumn anyway."

"Okay!" Shen Hui'e nodded with a smile.

"Mom, mom, the neighbors are all paving the roads outside their homes with cobblestones." Li Nu looked at her with his big, sparkling eyes.

"This is a good thing! Everyone cleans up the snow in front of their own door, and finally they can form a piece of snow." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her dark and lively pupils and said, "When it rains, we won't have muddy feet."

No one wants to cultivate barren fields, but when they are cultivated, people fight for them, and the ones they grab are the most delicious!

"Yeah!" The cat nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Mother, mother, what shall we do next?" the big tiger said, looking at her with his black eyes.

"What do you mean?" Shen Hui'e looked at him in confusion and asked.

"Get to work!" the big tiger said to her with its bright eyes.

"The spring ploughing is over, what else is there to do? Pick up your calligraphy." Shen Hui'e scratched his straight nose with her finger and said, "Because of the spring ploughing, we have been wasted for a month. We must catch up quickly."

"Oh!" the big tiger responded obediently when he heard it.

"Mother, mother, where is tofu?" Li Nu Hu asked, looking at her eagerly with his big, bright eyes.

"I'm afraid tofu can't be made now?" Shen Hui'e looked at her with disappointment in her eyes.

"Why?" Li Nu looked at her anxiously and asked.

"Because there is no stone mill." Shen Hui'e sighed softly. She was also sad about this.

"Yes, there are stone mills! They are used to grind wheat and corn. They are such big stone mills." Li Nu said without exaggeration, spreading his arms.

There is a large stone mill at the entrance of this street, and it takes two people to hug the millstone.

The neighbors all used it to grind flour, but because the stone mill was too big, the flour it ground was not fine and was very rough.

It is far inferior to the electric grinder and cannot even grind tofu.

"It won't work. It's too big and can't be ground into soy milk. The beans have to be ground very, very finely." Shen Hui'e hesitated and shook her head slightly.

These delicacies are promoted from top to bottom. When people are well fed and clothed, they will think about sex. The rich and powerful only have time to study them after they have eaten their fill. They will never tire of fine food.

Ordinary people just need to fill their stomachs, so they don’t have time to cook delicious food.

For example, wheat is not the mainstream food now, corn is the staple food.

The flour ground from wheat is very rough and is not refined flour.

No wonder tofu was made by King Huainan, he had the financial and material resources!

"Then when can we eat it?" the raccoon slave said to her while slurping his saliva.

"Little greedy cat." Shen Hui bent down and looked at her gently, saying, "When we meet a good stonemason who can carve a good stone mill, we can grind tofu."

"Stonemason?" The tiger blinked his round eyes and looked at her and said, "We don't have any big bluestones or mountains here."

"So! Without big stones, we can't grind tofu." Shen Hui'e looked at them with great regret and said.

"Big rocks?" The big bug shook his little head, his eyes lit up and he said, "There are big pebbles, isn't that okay?"

"Yes! Anyone can lie on it." Li Nu looked at her with his big watery eyes and said.

"I'm afraid that won't work!" Shen Hui'e shook her head slightly. "We need to use large bluestone. The inside of the pebbles is too rough. We need to make them extra fine."

Upon hearing this, Li Nu let out an "ah..." and completely gave up.

"Don't be discouraged!" Shen Hui'e shook her head and laughed, "Go find your uncle."

"Yes! Uncle goes out a lot, so bring back a millstone." Da Chong looked at her with sparkling eyes and said, "Go find Uncle later."

"What do you want from me?" Shen Changsheng strode in and asked.

"Uncle, uncle." Da Chong ran up to him excitedly.

"Wash your hands first." Shen Hui'e quickly stopped him and said, "Look at your hands, they are so dusty."

"Oh oh!" The big insect looked at his hands and said, "I just planted vegetables." He ran to the bucket, took out the ladle from it, scooped water and rinsed his hands.

"Why are you so excited?" Shen Changsheng looked at him in surprise and said, "You've never been like this before?"

"I want you to give him the whole millstone." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at him with a smile in her starry eyes.

"Stone mill? For grinding flour? It's right at the corner of the street." Shen Changsheng turned around and looked outside the door.

"This stone mill is for grinding soybeans, not wheat." Shen Hui'e explained simply, "Soybeans are soaked and then ground into soy milk."

"Is this edible?" Shen Changsheng stared at her and said, "I only know that soybeans can sprout!"

"Why can't we eat it?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with her bright dark eyes and said, "There are many ways to eat soybeans!"

"Okay, I'll get you a stone mill." Shen Changsheng said to them with his dark eyes.

"This is different from the stone mill at the corner of our street. Because it grinds soybeans into juice, the stone mill has to grind it very finely." Shen Hui'e gestured with her hands and said, "There has to be a place to add water."

"Isn't this simple? Draw it for me." Shen Changsheng said simply and easily.

"This bamboo slip is too small." Shen Hui'e said with a complaining look on her face.

"The wooden board will do, okay?" Shen Changsheng said, looking at her with his bright black eyes.

"Okay!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with her starry eyes and said, "I only know the general appearance of this stone mill, but I really don't know how to work inside. You have to ask an expert."

"Leave it to me, I'll grind the soybeans into juice, okay?" Shen Changsheng promised, patting his chest.

"After all this excitement, are you going to Hedong County again?" Shen Hui'e asked him with her dark eyes.

"Yes!" Shen Changsheng looked at her with his deep black eyes and said, "Go and take a look at this toothbrush business."

"I didn't even ask you how you do this toothbrush business?" Shen Hui'e looked at him curiously and asked.

"Cooperate with the largest merchant in Hedong County." Shen Changsheng said to her with his dark eyes.

"They are willing to cooperate with a country boy like you?" Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows and looked at him and said, "Come, let's sit down and talk."
