Pig Killer

Chapter 116

What a little girl, with a fake smile on her face. Shen Hui'e complained in her heart, why are you so unhappy?

"Mom, you want to take a bath with me." Li Nu said, grabbing her hand.

"Of course, you can't reach it." Shen Hui'e looked at her with her bright dark eyes and said.

Neighbors who were walking over from the backyard all spoke up.

"Pig-killing lady, we have finished reading it, it is a good thing."

"It will be much more convenient to take a bath in the future, especially for us women."

"It's a good thing!" Shen Hui'e looked at them with her bright black eyes and said, "I'm a clean butcher, so you can eat this pork with peace of mind."

"Right, right, right! We definitely don't want to buy anything from those sloppy people."

"Take a detour if you are far away."

"That's too insulting."

"It's so nice to be a pig killer lady."

"Put yourself in my shoes, I have to be able to eat the food I put into my mouth!" Shen Hui'e said to them with clear and sincere eyes.

These words made them feel extremely comfortable, and each of them had a bright smile on their face.

"Let's go!"

Shen Hui'e looked at them with a smile and said, "I'll take you there."

After sending the neighbors away, Shen Hui'e looked at Liu Ding and said, "Seeing you like this, they are all very tempted, but no one is willing to take action."

"Yes!" Liu Ding said somewhat frustratedly, "I know in my heart that this is not a table or bench. It is just a wooden board with four legs."

"Even if the deal fails, we still have our righteousness." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her deep and penetrating eyes and said, "The buyers you are targeting are not them. Try going to the wealthy families in the county."

"Understood." Liu Ding smiled and nodded, "We are leaving now. We will not disturb you, second sister-in-law."

"Goodbye!" Shen Hui'e watched them leave with her bright eyes.

"Our county is still too small." Da Chong said with his dark eyes as he looked at the backs of Uncle Liu and the others.

"We have to go to the county! It's a big place and there are many people there." Li Nu said to him with his innocent eyes.

"There are too few varieties. We need more novel, convenient, practical furniture that everyone can accept." Shen Hui'e said to them with deep and penetrating eyes.

"Can you accept it?" Da Chong looked at her with doubt and said, "The benefits are obvious, but you still don't accept it."

"Some people just like to be different from others. They want to be unique." Shen Hui'e looked at them with clear eyes and said, "Or if I use it, you can't have it."

"There are people like this?" Da Chong blinked his black eyes and asked her.

"I know it's a noble!" The raccoon slave snorted in dissatisfaction.

"Well..." Da Chong had nothing more to say, "I can do whatever they want."

Shen Hui'e looked at them with deep and bottomless eyes, and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. There are still some fish balls in the pot. Do you want to eat them?"

Ignorance is sometimes a kind of bliss. If you can't change the status quo, don't mention such things.

"Eat, eat, eat!" The brother and sister nodded hurriedly, looking at her with shining eyes.

When talking about food, he smiled like a child again.

"I think there's still room for half a bowl for each person." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with clear eyes.

In the end, each person had half a bowl, and the remaining fish head was fed to Huang Er who was waiting anxiously.

"Mother, mother, if we put tofu in the fish soup, it will taste great." Li Nu said after swallowing the fish ball in his mouth.

"Fish head and tofu soup." Shen Hui'e looked at them with a smile and said, "We'll make it tomorrow."

"And, and, pork meatballs." The raccoon slave looked at her with green eyes and said, "I've been waiting for a long time."

"Do it!" Shen Hui'e looked at her lovingly and said.

"Mom, mom, why don't grandma and uncle come? We have some new things at home." Da Chong looked at her curiously and said.

"I guess he doesn't know yet!" Shen Hui'e was stunned when she heard that, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, it won't be used right away. Come and take a look tomorrow."

After eating and drinking, while the children were studying, she thought about how to improve the plow so that the plowing could be done faster and better, saving time and effort.

Food is the primary need of the people, and grain is the basis of all production activities.

It has to be done before autumn sowing.

With the addition of bellows, steel forging has more possibilities.

The next day, Shen Changsheng and Huang's mother arrived early.

Shen Hui'e soaked the soybeans early in the morning before slaughtering the pig.

"Now that you're here, let's get started!" Shen Hui'e looked at them tenderly and said, "Dongli, you can buy the remaining pork."

"Oh... okay." Cheng Donglai stood in front of the meat stall, looking at his neighbors with a smile on his face.

"Mrs. Pig-killer, the meat hasn't been sold out yet, what's the hurry?"

"Oh! I don't know that." Cheng Donglai said seriously, "Ask my aunt later." He smiled and said, "Auntie, pick up your meat." He handed the meat to the aunt in front of him.

"How come you don't know?" The old lady looked at him with obvious disbelief.

"I really don't know." Cheng Donglai said to her while smiling.

"I'll ask the butcher later."

Shen Changsheng pushed the stone mill and watched the soy milk being ground out with a look of curiosity on his face.

"This soy milk is ready to drink. You can add sugar or honey." Shen Hui'e took a large wooden spoon and kept stirring the soy milk in the large iron pot. "You must keep stirring the bottom of the pot, otherwise it will become mushy." Then she continued, "This soy milk is ready. When it cools down, a layer of skin will form on it. This skin can be taken out and dried. It can be stored for a long time. When you eat it, soak it in hot water until it is softened. You can eat it cold or hot. It's fine!"

This bean curd skin is yuba.

"To make tofu, you have to control the temperature of the soy milk." Shen Hui'e pursed her lips and looked at them. There was no thermometer. "It depends on your feeling." She touched the outside of the clay pot. "It's about this temperature. Feel it for yourself!"

"It's still very hot, but it can last for a while." Shen Changsheng felt it carefully.

"Yeah!" Huang's mother nodded and said, "Just brought it down, if you touch it, you have to run away, otherwise you will get burned."

After Shen Hui'e added gypsum, she made tofu pudding and put the minced meat sauce into the tofu pudding. "Try it!"

"Wow..." Shen Changsheng took a bite with a wooden spoon, his eyes shining like a child, "This one is even more delicious. It's as tender and smooth as brain flower."

"Yes! Otherwise why is it called tofu pudding!" Shen Hui'e looked at them with her bright eyes and said, "This soy milk has solidified. Drain the water and it will become the tofu I gave you yesterday."

"It's not difficult!" Huang's mother looked at her with burning eyes and said, "You will be able to do it after learning it a few more times."

"It's not difficult! But the tofu grinding business requires getting up early and working late, and it's very hard work." Shen Hui'e looked at her with her ink-black eyes and said.

"It's hard to do anything!" Huang's mother chuckled and said, "I can do this for a long time."

"Mother-in-law, are you going to stop doing this ceiling business?" Shen Changsheng looked up at Huang's mother and said, "Now that we have done our business in our county, we can go to other counties. We have connections with relatives and friends in the neighboring counties, and we can ask them for help!"

Huang's mother's eyes lit up when she heard this and said, "His uncle has shown us a clear way." She smiled and said, "But I think this tofu business can be done, and it can keep the family at home."

"Then do it!" Shen Hui'e looked at her with her bright eyes and said, "If these beans are grown by ourselves, we will feel that we have made a lot of money. But if we buy these soybeans from the grain store, it will be really hard-earned money."

"I'll discuss this when I get home." Huang's mother said after thinking it over seriously.

"We don't have this stone mill here. We have to go to the county." Shen Changsheng reminded Huang's mother, "If you really want to do this, I will go to the county soon and bring you one."

"How can I feel embarrassed about that?" Huang's mother said embarrassedly.

"It's just something I did along the way." Shen Changsheng said with a smile.

"Then bring one back! Even if we don't want to do it, we can pass it on to someone else." Huang's mother said after thinking for a moment.

"Okay!" Shen Changsheng responded cheerfully, "I have to go now. I need to pack up and go to the county."

"Take this tofu." Shen Hui'e quickly took the wood chips, cut the tofu and put it into the clay basin.

Shen Changsheng walked out holding the clay basin.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Shen Hui'e waved and called out to him, "Put it down. I'll ask the big insect to bring it to you later." She looked at him with amusement and said, "You can't just carry it away like this. You have to put it in a basket and cover it with a clean cloth."

"Okay then!" Shen Changsheng placed the clay basin on the long table and left in a hurry.

Shen Hui'e looked at him as he left, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. She shook her head and said, "You are so impatient." Her eyes fell on Huang's mother again and she said, "I'll have the children take it to you later."

"Hey!" Huang's mother looked at her gently and replied, "Aren't you going to make a living from tofu?"

"Me?" Shen Hui'e shook her head and chuckled, "I'm too busy to do this. With the pig farming this year, I won't be able to kill them next year." She smiled and said, "You want to do this business, don't worry about me."

"Then I'll go back and discuss it with them." Huang's mother looked at her with a smile in her black eyes and said, "I'm leaving."

"Da Chong, take the tofu and send your grandmother home." Shen Hui'e put the tofu in the clay basin into the basket, covered it with a clean cloth, and let Da Chong carry it away.

After Shen Hui'e sent Huang Mu and Da Chong away, she asked Li Nu to deliver the prepared tofu to Shen Yun'e.

"The pork is sold out." Shen Hui'e walked to the meat stall and asked Cheng Donglai.

"There's not much left." Cheng Donglai pointed to the little bit of pork left in front of the stall.

While we were talking, the last bit of pork was bought by someone.

"Okay, let's close the stall." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her dark and bright eyes and said, "Help me run an errand and deliver the tofu to the chief clerk in the county."

They have to maintain a good relationship so that no one will bully them.

"Hey!" Cheng Donglai responded readily.

Shen Hui'e cleaned the stall, started chopping the meat, and tried to fry meatballs.

Ding ding ding... Three pounds of pork are chopped into meat paste, sprinkled with pepper powder, appropriate amount of salt, onion, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and mixed with bean dregs.
