Pig Killer

"Mother, what are you looking for?" Li Nu Hu looked at her with puzzled eyes.

"The weather is getting hot, shouldn't we change into the rabbit skins we're wearing?" Shen Hui'e looked at her with eyes as bright as stars and said, "We need to take out the clothes and hang them out to dry first."

"It's not that hot yet!" The tiger stood at the door and looked at them and said, "Didn't mother say to keep warm in spring and cool in autumn?"

"Yes!" Shen Hui'e said to them with a smile in her bright eyes.

"Mother, come and see how the backyard is paved?" Da Chong looked at her with great interest and said, "See if this sewer is suitable?"

"Let's go!" Shen Hui'e stood up and said, "Let's go take a look."

"I'll go too." Li Nu followed them to the backyard.

When Shen Hui'e arrived at the backyard and looked at the sewer, her eyes lit up, "Yes, that's it. It's easy to clean. You can just use a broom to sweep it."

Shen Hui'e walked around the backyard. The children were working very meticulously.

Cheng Donglai looked at his aunt's smiling face with his dark eyes, and mustered up the courage to ask, "Aunt, now that the floor is paved, is there anything else we can do?"

Shen Hui'e smiled when she heard that. She looked at them tenderly, looking at them nervously and uneasy, "It's easy if you want to work!" She smiled and said, "There is work to do, and you won't go hungry."

"What? Your order." Cheng Donglai looked much more relaxed.

"Most of those who lay cobblestones on the road are just minding their own business. Some places haven't been paved yet. Can you lay them there?" Shen Hui'e asked for their opinions.

"No problem." Cheng Donglai was stunned when he heard this, then smiled and said, "I'm familiar with this job."

"Then let's start tomorrow!" Shen Hui'e said to them with gentle eyes.

This is human nature, unwilling to do more!

"Okay!" Cheng Donglai said excitedly.

"Let's fry fish today." Shen Hui'e said to them with her clear and bright eyes.

"Fry it with lard?" The big insect looked at her with its round eyes shining brightly.

"That's right." Shen Hui'e nodded with a smile.

"I'm going to go fishing." Cheng Donglai said with a smile.

"I'll go too." said the big tiger with a smile.

"You push the wheelbarrow and see if there's any situation. Send some to your grandmother and some to your fourth aunt." Shen Hui'e said to them with her clear and bright eyes.

"Fourth Aunt?" Li Nu asked, looking at her with his big watery eyes.

"Fourth Aunt is pregnant with a baby and needs some nourishment." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her dark eyes.

"Wow... I'm going to be a sister." Li Nu said while looking at her happily.

"That's right!" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with a smile.

"Got it. Send some fish to Fourth Aunt." Da Chong looked at her with his dark eyes and said cleverly, "Tell Fourth Aunt to try frying fish with lard."

"Hey!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with her dark and lively eyes and nodded, "Go!"

Cheng Donglai and his friends pushed the wheelbarrow out of the house.

Shen Hui'e folded the clothes that were spread on the bed and put them away one by one.

"Mom, it's torn." Li Nu pointed at the clothes and said.

"Ah!" Shen Hui'e looked at the hole in her trousers at the knee, and liquid leaked out when she poked it with her finger.

"That's easy, just mend it." Shen Hui'e said simply and easily, but she muttered in her heart: Mend clothes shouldn't be difficult! If not, practice secretly.

"I'll mend it when I wear it." Shen Hui'e said without blushing or panting.

"Oh!" The cat slave nodded obediently.

Shen Hui'e put the clothes with holes in a conspicuous place and said, "I'll mend them when it rains."

I basically don't go out on rainy days and just stay at home.

After packing up the clothes, Cheng Donglai and the others pushed the fish back.

Shen Hui'e sat beside the well and slaughtered the fish. The sewer was paved with pebbles, so it was very convenient to flush it with water.

After the fish is slaughtered, it is washed and sliced ​​into fillets and marinated with salt, onion, ginger and garlic.

"Mother, do we have enough lard?" Li Nu looked at her worriedly and asked.

"Enough!" Shen Hui'e looked at her with her bright eyes and said, "Let's fry it on the iron plate."

"Don't you need a big iron pot?" The cat slave asked her with his watery eyes.

"No need! The bottom of the iron pot is not flat." Shen Hui'e looked at her with deep and penetrating eyes and said, "You have to use lard sparingly."

"I understand!" Li Nu nodded and said with a smile, "When can I eat lard happily?"

"No! The neighbors are all waiting to buy it!" Shen Hui'e shook her head and laughed, "In fact, you can eat as much soybean oil as you want."

"We don't have much soybean oil here, so we just have steamed beans and rice." The cat slave looked at her with his watery eyes and said.

Soybeans are now food, and as vegetable oil they cannot be consumed on a large scale. They are only enjoyed by wealthy families and aristocrats.

Poor families can only light an oil lamp!

"It's good that we don't lack oil." Shen Hui'e pointed her index finger at her belly and said, "We can't let our stomachs go hungry."

"Mother, mother." The cat slave looked at her with sparkling eyes and shouted.

"What's wrong?" Shen Hui'e grabbed the pickled fish fillets with her hands and marinated them evenly.

"Can pork be made into meatballs? Like fish balls." The raccoon slave looked at her with green eyes and said, "Meat eggs, meatballs."

Shen Hui'e was stunned when she heard this. She was very quick in thinking about delicious food.

Food is the first necessity of the people! This is a nation of foodies.

Shen Hui'e hesitated and looked at her, unable to bear to refuse, "I don't know about this, we can try it."

The meatballs need to be fried in oil, and the meat paste needs water starch as a binder to mix the filling.

Pure meat paste is difficult to wrap into meatballs.

Shen Hui'e's deep eyes moved gently as she said, "Try using soybean flour or corn flour."

There is no way, there is no corn or sweet potato now.

"It's just a mess. No matter what it looks like, it's the same when you eat it." Shen Hui'e looked at her carelessly, her bright eyes flashing with tiny lights, and said, "Let's try it tomorrow." She added lovingly, "Little greedy cat."

"Great! Great!" The cat slave danced with joy.

"Go call your brother and the others back, and then we can work after dinner." Shen Hui'e looked at her with her deep black eyes and said.

"Hey!" The raccoon slave stood up quickly and ran out.

When I came back, I smelled the aroma of meat coming from the house.

"Wash your hands. After washing your hands, let's start eating." Shen Hui'e said to them with warm eyes.

"Got it." The big tiger looked at her with its dark eyes and responded crisply.

The big bug came into the house, shaking his wet hands, "Mother, there are bugs."

"It's not surprising. The weather is getting warmer and the insects are flying." Shen Hui'e put a piece of sashimi on the iron plate with chopsticks in her hand. "There's a folk proverb: After the Waking of Insects, snakes will appear!" The sizzling sound was very pleasant to the ears.

"We have to hang up the curtains!" said the tiger, pointing at the gate.
