How did a street urchin from the film crew end up in a Northern Song Dynasty drama called "The

Jin Shuai shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself, "Alas, this utterly detestable feudal society! On the surface, the Song Dynasty seems prosperous and glorious, but it must have been fabricated by those historians to cover up the truth and beautify a peaceful and prosperous era. Since I am powerless to change the overall social environment, I will start by making some changes to my own small environment!"

Then, with a serious expression, he said to the women, "From now on, you only need to settle down and work here. You must obey the orders and arrangements of Liu Ma and the steward, work diligently, and absolutely must not fight or scheme against each other; you must unite as one. Furthermore, any affairs of the manor must not be divulged or leaked to outsiders. For the next few days, you will learn embroidery and other needlework from Liu Ma!"

After explaining these matters, Jin Shuai moved to Dong Qiuhe's side and said, "Miss Dong, I wonder if you could help me find someone from the palace who specializes in teaching etiquette?"

Dong Qiuhe nodded slightly and replied, "No problem, I will arrange for a lady-in-waiting from the palace to come and teach them tomorrow. However, what is your reason for purchasing musicians this time, Your Excellency?" she asked curiously.

"I was planning to use it in a specialty store, huh? Oh, right, we can just call on the musicians in the palace! But now that we've already bought it, it might come in handy in the future." Jin Shuai said with a slight smile.

Just then, a servant rushed in to report that a palace eunuch was looking for him. Jin Shuai suddenly snapped out of his reverie, as if remembering something important. He waved his hand, indicating that the servant should take the man to his courtyard. Then, Jin Shuai and Li Wei walked towards his courtyard, not forgetting to ask along the way, "Are there any places in the city selling piglets?"

"Yes, Your Excellency," Li Wei replied respectfully. "These piglets are usually sold at the market outside the city, and the price varies, ranging from about 120 to 300 coins each. Would you like to buy some, Your Excellency? If so, I will go and purchase them immediately."

“Alright, then go and get some silver from the steward, take the carriage and select five. I want to see just how good that old eunuch's cooking is later.” Jin Shuai said with a smile, and Li Wei turned and quickly left. Jin Shuai continued walking towards the courtyard. As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he saw an old eunuch dressed in simple clothes standing there. Upon seeing Jin Shuai, the old eunuch quickly stood up, bowed respectfully, and said, “My name is Liu Wei, greetings to Your Excellency. I heard from Liao Zi that Your Excellency is interested in my cooking skills.”

"Sit down first. I want you to castrate piglets, which means cutting off their testicles. That way, the pigs will eat their fill and sleep, and they won't have a fishy smell when they grow up. I've already sent someone to buy piglets. You can try it in a bit!" Jin Shuai said with a smile.

Time flew by, and about an hour later, Li Wei and a follower returned from the outer city, carrying a bamboo cage together. Inside the cage, five piglets were squealing loudly, as if expressing their fear of their unknown fate. At the same time, the elderly eunuch named Liu Wei carefully took out a scroll tightly wrapped in cowhide from his robes. As he gently unwrapped the mysterious package, several gleaming iron knives were revealed before everyone's eyes.
