Pig Killer

"Yes!" Shen Hui'e said cheerfully, "You can eat this egg just by peeling it."

"Don't you need to cook it anymore?"

"The quicklime has cooked them." Shen Hui'e looked at them with a smile and said, "When you peel them, you will find that the eggs have turned golden yellow, which is very beautiful. You can eat them directly, or mix them with some vinegar, and they taste good. It is very convenient as a side dish for drinking." Suddenly she remembered, "You can also put them in when cooking porridge."

"Then we'll do it when we get back."

"Thank you, butcher lady."

"You're welcome." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her bright eyes and said, "The weather is hot now, and eggs can't be kept for too long. If you change them like this, they can be kept for a month or two without going bad."

"That's great."

"We're leaving now and won't bother you anymore."

"Goodbye, I won't see you off." Shen Hui'e watched them disappear like the tide, and carried the rotten eggs and the child on the chopping board into the utility room, placing them directly on the ground in a cool place.

When Shen Hui'e came out again to clean the chopping board, she saw the noodle shop owner staring at her intently.

"Is there something?" Shen Hui'e looked at her gently and said.

"You're just teaching them like this? Aren't you making money?" The noodle shop owner looked at her in confusion and asked.

"My main job is slaughtering pigs." Shen Hui'e looked at her with clear eyes and said, "The eggs just now are for my family to eat. I don't plan to sell them." Shen Hui'e looked at her with pure eyes and said, "It's fine if they want to sell them! It can add some money to the family."

"You are so generous." The noodle shop owner looked at her with dark eyes and said.

"It seems like you have learned a lot of cooking techniques from me." Shen Hui'e looked at her with clear eyes.

"Aren't you afraid of me? Everyone else is avoiding me." The noodle shop owner looked at her curiously and asked.

"Although I don't quite agree with your actions, the law has ruled that you are not guilty." Shen Hui'e looked at her with her dark eyes and said, "Do I have a grudge against you?"

"No."

"Do I have a grudge against you?" Shen Hui'e said to her with raised eyebrows.

"No."

"Would you kill people casually?" Shen Hui'e asked her, looking straight into her deep eyes.

"No, killing someone means paying with your life." The noodle shop owner said seriously.

"Then what should I be afraid of?" Shen Hui'e said to her with raised eyebrows.

"Thank you!" The noodle shop owner looked at her sincerely and said.

Although she killed that ungrateful bastard, her reputation was completely ruined. The noodle shop had no customers and almost went out of business.

Thanks to the new way of eating noodles, people have forgotten that she killed her husband.

Business is finally picking up and at least I won’t starve to death anymore.

"I didn't teach you this specifically." Shen Hui'e said something extra, as if she was trying to cover up something.

"I know, I know." The noodle shop owner chuckled and shook her head.

"I don't want to chat with you anymore. I have to get to work." Shen Hui'e moved the chopping board to the backyard, rinsed it clean, and put it in the sun to dry.

"Mother, how dare you talk to her!" Li Nu said in a low voice.

"You're scared!" Shen Hui'e lowered her voice and looked at her with concern.

"I still haven't dared to look her in the eye." Li Nu said in a voice so small that it was almost silent.

"If you're scared, just hide away. It's nothing." Shen Hui'e reached out and rubbed her head. "It's normal to be scared. It's human nature."

"Oh!" The cat slave nodded obediently.

After five days of waiting, Shen Hui'e finally received the good news that the bellows was ready.

Tie Feng said excitedly, "Second sister, second sister, the bellows is ready." His cheeks flushed red.

"You are so excited. Can I guess that you have tried it and the effect is good?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with her deep and clear eyes.

"Yeah!" Tie Feng nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Do you want to go and have a look? Liu Ding asked me to remember to invite you."

"I haven't sold all the meat yet. Let's wait until noon. I'll go when I'm free." Shen Hui'e pointed to her meat stall. There was still a lot of pork hanging on the iron hooks.

"Okay! I'll come over to talk to you." Tie Feng waved his hand at her and said, "You go ahead and do your work! I'm busy in my shop too!"

"I won't see you off." Shen Hui'e tied the weighed pork with a hemp rope and handed it to the man, saying sincerely, "Thank you for your patronage."

After selling the pork and having breakfast, Shen Hui'e and the others hurried to Tiefeng's home.

Before Shen Hui'e entered the blacksmith shop, she heard the crisp sound of bellows being pulled, which was really powerful.

Shen Hui'e stood at the door of the blacksmith shop and saw Tie Feng, who was puffing as he pulled the bellows, and the flame in the furnace was burning red.

"How is it? Is the fire burning well?" Shen Hui'e said, staring at the flames with burning eyes.

"It's prosperous. Even more prosperous than I thought." Tie Feng turned around and looked at her, grinning, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Uncle, how did you know that?" Da Chong asked curiously, "Can you tell that?"

"I've compared it and found that using a leather bag to melt iron takes much less time than using a bellows." Tie Feng was as happy as a child.

"It has been proven that the bellows is more effective than the leather bag. It just takes time to prove whether it is durable." Shen Hui'e looked at him with clear eyes.

"Yeah!" Tie Feng nodded heavily, "Even if it's not durable, it's better than a leather bag." Rubbing his hands, he said, "It will be easier to forge iron in the future."

"Uncle, can I try?" Da Chong said, looking at him with sparkling eyes.

"Of course." Tie Feng said with a smile, "Just grab this handrail and push and pull."

"Hey!" The big tiger seemed to have seen an incredible toy and was having a lot of fun playing with it.

"I want one too. I want one too." Li Nu came forward and said to his brother.

"Be gentle," Shen Hui'e warned them, "Don't break it for your uncle."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, use it hard. If something really breaks, it's easy to fix." Shen Yun'e said to the brother and sister with a smile in her almond-shaped eyes.

"We can't spoil them like this." Shen Hui'e turned around and looked at her sister and said.

"It's not like I pull the bellows all the time." Shen Yun'e looked at her with amusement and said, "I'd get tired of pulling it for a whole day." She looked at the brother and sister gently and said, "Don't listen to your mother, pull it!"

"Don't add fuel to the fire." Shen Hui'e dragged a stool over and said, "It's hot in the room, just sit outside." She placed her on the bench.

"I didn't expect it to be successful." Shen Hui'e said with emotion.

"Brother Tie has been focusing on this bellows these days. Whenever he has any ideas, he goes to see Liu Ding. The two of them whispered for a long time before coming back." Shen Yun'e looked at her man with eyes so gentle that tears could drip out of them. "Second sister, sit down!" she said, patting the side of the bench.
