Pig Killer

"Isn't this easy?" Shen Yun'e said with a smile, "My second sister can't do without lard when cooking now."

"Does it smell like lard?" Shen Hui'e looked at her with a smile and said, "Actually, soybean oil is also OK, but soybean oil is hard to make, and it has impurities and tastes a bit weird."

"We seldom eat soybean oil except for lighting." Shen Yun'e pursed her lips and looked at her and said.

"So! When I kill pigs, lard is the main oil." Shen Hui'e looked at her with her glassy eyes and said, "When I have money, I will go to the oil mill to buy soybean oil."

Nowadays, oil mills all use manual labor to squeeze oil. Skinny men with bare shirts pound out the oil one by one. It is really hard work.

The feudal peasant economy with underdeveloped productivity was extremely short of material resources.

"Is it okay to eat lard all the time?" Shen Yun'e looked at her worriedly.

"Eating too much of anything is not good for your body." Shen Hui'e looked at her with her sparkling eyes and said, "You have to eat it in turns and in combination." She smiled and said, "Lard is a good thing. It tastes delicious and can instantly ignite people's appetite. Whether it is cooking home-cooked dishes or making pastries, lard can give food a unique aroma and taste. The source of this aroma is not just a simple accumulation, but more of a tease to the taste buds and a sublimation of the taste."

Lard contains many nutritious ingredients, provides balanced nutrition for human health, and is also rich in minerals.

Since vegetable oil is not available, we eat animal fats.

"You have to take turns." Shen Yun'e said with a smile.

"Yes!" Shen Hui'e looked at her with clear eyes and said, "Have you found any progress on the bellows?"

Shen Yun'e smiled slightly when she heard that, "No! Tie Ge has been paying attention to it! He takes it very seriously!"

"This is related to the blacksmithing in the future. When the fire is strong, it will be easier for him to forge iron." Shen Hui'e looked at her with her ink-black eyes and said.

"So! I was just laughing at his nervousness." Shen Yun'e smiled and said, "I will tell you immediately if there is any news."

"Okay!" Shen Hui'e smiled and nodded, looking up at the sky and said, "It's getting late, I'm going home."

"I'll take you there." Shen Yun'e stood up and looked at her and said.

Shen Yun'e stood outside the blacksmith shop, watching Tie Ge who was hammering iron inside. Just as she was about to speak, she was stopped by her second sister.

Shen Hui'e whispered, "Please say goodbye to my brother-in-law for me! Don't disturb him."

"Okay then!" Shen Yun'e nodded with a smile and watched them leave. She went home and couldn't wait to try the pancakes and stewed the pig's trotters.

It is too troublesome to wash your hair with soap nuts. How to make pig pancreas? Shen Hui'e thought about it carefully. Pig pancreas, bean powder, soap nuts...

Shen Hui'e fiddled with it for a long time, really beating it hard with a laundry mallet until it became a paste.

Shen Hui'e wasted two pig pancreases and finally made a rough, ugly, and unpleasant-smelling pig pancreas.

"This is for washing hands and removing oil." The cat slave asked in disbelief, staring at the ugly pig pancreas.

"You can try it." Shen Hui'e said with a smile, "The inside of our big iron pot is greasy. Wipe it with your hands, then use it to wash your hands and see the effect."

"I really tried it!" Li Nu said, looking at her with wet eyes.

"Try it!" Shen Hui'e smiled and nodded slightly.

Li Nu wiped the big iron pot that had been taken off the stove for a long time vigorously, and then rubbed his hands with pig pancreas.

"Wow..." The raccoon looked at the little white hands that were still dripping with water, and said, "It really doesn't feel greasy at all." The little mouth said, "Food made with lard is delicious, but my hands are covered with oil, it's really hard to wash."

"Can this be sold? It doesn't seem to taste very good." The raccoon slave said, pinching his nose.

"Let's use it ourselves first. We can't sell it for money. We need to improve it." Shen Hui'e said to her money-loving daughter with her dark and smart eyes.

"What do you mean?" The raccoon slave asked, looking at her innocently.

"The taste is not good, and there is no way to change it now." Shen Hui'e looked at her helplessly and said, "Because pig pancreas tastes like this now, you can't add pepper to change it."

"Then how to change it?" The raccoon slave looked at her with sparkling eyes and said.

"When the pigs are fattened this year, the fishy smell will not be so strong." Shen Hui'e looked at her with her bright eyes and said, "In the future, add rouge, powder and other spices, and the smell will be better."

"Really?" Li Nu looked at her with his big blinking eyes.

"Of course." Shen Hui'e replied with a smile, "Now let's wash our hands with these pig pancreases." She glanced at the pig pancreas with disdain and said, "This smell is really not very pleasant."

"What else can I do?" The raccoon looked at her with a sad face like a little adult and said, "I have to deal with lard all day long."

"You little rascal." Shen Hui'e said as she scratched her straight nose with her finger.

"Mother, mother, is the pig pancreas ready?" The big insect rushed in, took a look at the finished pig pancreas, and said with disgust, "It's so ugly!"

"Don't complain about my work." Shen Hui'e pretended to be angry and said, "Of course it's not good if you knead it with your hands. In the future, you can use a mold to press it firmly and make it look better." She smiled and said, "Just use it for now!"

"Aren't you going to sell it?" The big insect blinked his black eyes and looked at her.

"Hehe..." Shen Hui'e and Li Nu both laughed and looked at each other.

"What are you laughing at?" Da Chong was puzzled by the laughter of the two of them.

"That's what Li Nu thought just now." Shen Hui'e looked at him with a smile in her bright black eyes and said, "It's a pity, the appearance is so bad, and I don't think anyone will like the taste."

"Mother, haven't you thought of a solution?" The big tiger looked at her with its round eyes.

"You have to wait until next year." Shen Hui'e explained in detail, and put her index finger to her lips and said, "This must be kept secret!"

"I know, I know." The big tiger cleverly covered his mouth and said in a muffled voice.

"We won't tell either." Cheng Donglai and the others also promised.

"Mother, this smell is really bad." Da Chong pinched his nose and said in a shrill voice.

"I'll bear it!" Shen Hui'e pinched her nose, "I'll bear it too." She looked at them with bright eyes and said, "Next year we'll make you delicious pig pancreas."

"Okay then!" The tiger had no choice but to accept it and asked curiously, "What do you want to eat today?"

"Eat wontons." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her pearly eyes and said, "It's cool today." She looked up at the gloomy sky and said, "It's cloudy, it looks like it's going to rain, let's eat something hot."

"What are wontons?" Da Chong asked her with his round eyes.
