I traveled through the Cretaceous period and farmed with the ever-changing dog egg.
Chapter 88, Section 27: Slaughtering the Pig
Upon hearing this, Lin Chaoyan turned to look at the person beside her, her beautiful eyes as lifeless as a stagnant pool. They say the eyes are the windows to the soul, but she couldn't read Mo Nanfeng's feelings from them.
All night long, the two stood silently in the snow without exchanging a single word. The others also stood guard over her in their respective corners.
The moonlight, like water, spilled onto the snow, reflecting its gentle glow and illuminating the earth. Rows of exquisitely crafted snowmen, varying in size, height, and shape, stood at the entrance. Favored once again by the snowflakes, their presence imbued the courtyard with an extraordinary charm.
Realizing her family cared about her, Lin Chaoyan felt guilty. "I'm hungry! Let's have skewers for lunch today!"
"Okay, okay, I'll go prepare right away..." Du Ming immediately turned and went to the kitchen after receiving his master's message.
"Let's go together! Come on, little sister, let's prepare together." Qiu Shenji pulled Lin Chaoyan away.
Don't give Lin Chaoyan any chance to feel sad or hesitant. Girls are naturally prone to overthinking, so just give her something to do!
Roll the beef in pickled peppers, then skewer them one by one with bamboo skewers, along with quail eggs, frozen tofu, wood ear mushrooms, meatballs, and vegetables. Slice the frozen beef and mutton into pieces and set aside.
After breakfast, preparations were made to slaughter the pig, and sausages were also made in advance. The Qin Dynasty celebrated the New Year according to the lunar calendar, which was different from the modern calendar. Later, the Han Dynasty switched back to the Xia calendar.
Pigs are usually slaughtered on the 26th or 27th of the twelfth lunar month. Even families without pigs will slaughter chickens and sheep on the 27th to add some meat to their meals.
"Slaughtering a pig!" Lin Chaoyan wanted to do it herself, but everyone stopped her at the same time.
A stunningly beautiful young woman, as lovely as a fairy from a painting, is excitedly holding a butcher's knife...
The scene was too beautiful for others to bear looking at! Lin Chaoyan became a bystander.
A series of heart-wrenching howls filled the air. Lin Chaoyan silently prayed that they would be reborn into a better life. She, on the other hand, wanted to eat stir-fried pork intestines with scallions…
The smallest of the three pigs weighed over 170 jin (approximately 85 kg), while the largest weighed 200 jin (approximately 100 kg). After removing the offal and blood, even the smallest pig yielded over 140 jin (approximately 70 kg) of meat. With 400-500 jin (approximately 200-250 kg) of meat from these three pigs, we'll have plenty to eat this New Year.
"Ayan, aren't you afraid?" Hearing the screams, Zhao Ji's heart leaped into her throat. This was the true meaning of the sage's saying, "A gentleman keeps away from the kitchen." It meant he couldn't bear to see such a scene, not that a man couldn't cook otherwise he wasn't a gentleman.
"Don't be afraid! I just prayed for them in my heart, hoping they wouldn't be pigs in their next life. We'll be making blood sausage and blood tofu later, they taste pretty good too, you should try them..." What's there to be afraid of? She was only afraid of ghosts! Lin Chaoyan was only six years old when she first saw a pig being slaughtered.
...She and her son are a perfect match! Zhao Ji felt a chill run down her spine as she listened to those words.
The pig bristles were washed clean and collected to be used to make toothbrushes and other brushes in the future.
Fresh, hot pig's blood was brought into the house. Du Ming added salt, stirred it, and started stuffing it into blood sausage. The rest was used to cook blood tofu…
Qiu Shenji blew three pig bladders into balls for Lin Chaoyan to play with. While the others were busy, a young girl led a noblewoman to play with the pig bladders in the yard.
After the pork was broken down and the large intestines were cleaned, lunch was ready.
At lunchtime, the skewers restaurant added blood sausage and blood tofu, which Lin Chaoyan had been longing for.
"Come and try it! Don't be afraid! It's delicious..." Eat up, eat up! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This is a unique flavor from the Warring States period.
Under Lin Chaoyan's repeated and enthusiastic invitations, Zhao Ji took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and stuffed the food into her mouth.
The moment it enters your mouth, there is no fishy smell at all; it is tender, smooth, and has an indescribable sensation.
"Isn't it delicious! Isn't it bouncy and chewy?" What could be more gratifying than someone falling in love with the food you've explained? Lin Chaoyan said no.
Although Zhao Ji had lived with Lin Chaoyan for six years before, this was the first time she had ever discovered that Lin Chaoyan had so many strange and wonderful ideas.
I would tell her the story of Snow White before she went to sleep, and she listened to the entire Grimm's Fairy Tales for a whole month. We also spent a completely different New Year together, seeing the lifelike lanterns, and realizing that women could be so carefree and unrestrained.
While Lin Chaoyan was playing with sparklers with Zhao Ji in the courtyard, the spirit beast egg buried under spirit stones in her bedroom stirred. The surrounding spirit stones visibly turned into dull, indistinct stones.
"Where did my little sister get all this stuff from?" Qiu Shenji was a bit confused by the fairy wand.
"If you're really curious, just ask!" Anyway, if Lin Chaoyan is willing to talk, Han Dong will listen, and if she's not, he won't ask.
Everyone has their own little secrets as their trump cards, and Qiu Shenji was too embarrassed to ask.
"Come on, let's play! There's only one and a half boxes, leftovers from before I transmigrated." Before transmigrating, she packed all her belongings into her spatial storage, not expecting to find some strange and unusual items inside: fairy wands, birthday candles, hand warmers...
While everyone was having a great time, the traditional-style villa behind them suddenly disappeared.
"No…"
Nie Lianzhou looked at the empty space in front of her and then glanced at Lin Chaoyan, who was playing with sparklers.
"Zhaochao... is gone..."
"If it's gone, it's really gone. There was only one and a half boxes left. I'll take you to buy more when we get back to the modern world." Lin Chaoyan didn't even turn her head and hadn't realized that her house was gone.
While everyone was stunned and didn't know what to say to her, Lin Chaoyan finally realized what was happening.
Damn it! Where's my house? Who raided my house? Lin Chaoyan appeared calm on the surface, but inside she was cursing.
Fortunately, her connection with the space was not severed, and it should be fully integrated by tomorrow morning at the latest.
"It's nothing! It probably ran away from home! Let's just do our own thing and ignore it. We can't let it develop this bad habit..."
Seeing that she was still in the mood to joke, everyone felt a huge weight lifted off their shoulders.
Everyone started a snowball fight. At first, everything was harmonious, but soon the battlefield descended into chaos. Snowballs flew wildly. And those two nephews were even using spiritual power in their snowball fight…
The crowd left to watch the two of them fight.
"This...this could kill someone!" The snowball made a crater as soon as it hit the ground. It was terrifying...
"Asagao...who will win between the two of them?"
Hearing Han Dong's words, Lin Chaoyan exchanged a glance with him and then started a betting game...
"Come on, come on... place your bet now..."
Once the two apprentices realized this, the bet was set up, and they were more concerned about who Lin Chaoyan supported to win. In order to be fair and just, the bet was not told to either of them, and this game turned into a battle between rivals for love.
He kept thinking, what if she bet on him instead? He couldn't lose, he absolutely couldn't lose. This wasn't about winning or losing anymore; it was a matter of a man's dignity.
As dawn breaks and the east glows with a fish-belly-like light, the house returns…
"My goodness..." The site covers an area of approximately 500,000 to 600,000 square meters and features a Jiangnan garden-style architectural design.
"Sis! Your cheat ability has been upgraded?"
Qiu Shenji felt that if this continued to be upgraded, it would turn into an imperial palace!
"Let's go! Let's take a look around and find your original rooms..." Don't get lost inside!
This garden villa is modeled after traditional Suzhou gardens, blending modern and classical elements. The exterior walls are made of stone and brick, and the roof is covered with blue tiles, giving the overall building a simple and elegant feel.
Surrounded by water on three sides, it features a lake within a lake and a garden within a garden, with water encircling the garden and extending beyond its boundaries. There are six natural waterways, artificial hills, small bridges, and flowing water, with each garden designed to offer a unique view.
It boasts a spacious and bright living room, comfortable and cozy bedrooms, a high-end and elegant dining room and study, and is fully equipped with all kinds of modern facilities, such as central air conditioning, underfloor heating, and a water purification system.
“We’re living in different places!” The group’s accommodations were scattered. Lin Chaoyan was in the main courtyard, while the others were in one of the four courtyards in the east, west, south, or north.
"Why don't you guys choose another courtyard that's closer? I'll go back to my own courtyard first and take a look. I'll tell you more once things have settled down..." Her courtyard was a huge building, with books right at the entrance, books covering the walls, and books lining the spiral staircase.
The room is on the top floor, with a starry sky ceiling and floor-to-ceiling windows…
As soon as she entered, an egg rolled towards Lin Chaoyan's feet. Its originally dull surface was now covered with scale-like patterns, as if the dust had been wiped off.
"Alive? Should we get an incubator..." After saying that, she channeled a burst of immortal energy into the egg through its shell. The egg glowed briefly and wobbled twice in Lin Chaoyan's hand.
She went to the basket where the eggs were placed and was surprised to find that they indeed needed spirit stones to nourish them. "Whoa... they've eaten them all..." After saying that, she emptied the broken stones into her spatial storage, then took out a large basket and buried the eggs in it with low-grade spirit stones.
"I'll give you all these low-grade spirit stones to eat. There's also a mountain range of about 8900 kilometers of top-grade spirit stones in my space. I'll let you try them after I've finished eating them..." This mountain range would last for tens of millions of years. Keeping it in my space might even give rise to some spiritual creatures.
"Go quickly, it's a thousand kilometers away. You're famous now, so you need to act fast."
