Pig Killer

Chapter 138

"I don't know what to eat now." The big tiger thought for a long time before saying, "There are so many choices, but I don't know what to choose?"

"Let's eat fish stewed in an iron pot." Shen Hui'e said to them with her bright eyes.

"I'm going to catch fish." Cheng Donglai said with a smile.

"It has to be slaughtered and washed clean by the river. Can you do it?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with her eyes like black jade.

"I can do it!" Cheng Donglai replied with a smile, "But not as fast as Auntie."

"Okay, take the food!" Shen Hui'e looked at them with eyes as gentle as jade and said, "I'll make a few pancakes at home."

"Let's go." Cheng Donglai and his friends took their things and went straight to the river.

After dividing the work, they soon started eating the fish stewed in the iron pot. The pancakes were torn into pieces and stewed into the fish soup, absorbing the broth and taking a full bite.

"Hmm!" Everyone's eyes lit up instantly.

"I can tell it's delicious just by looking at your expressions." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with a smile in her eyes.

"This cake is thick, not a pancake, it's thin." Cheng Donglai said while holding a cake.

"This is a fried dough cake, it's made of several layers!" Shen Hui'e looked at them with her clear eyes and said, "It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside."

"So that's how it is! No wonder." The big insect said with a smile, and stuffed the cake into his mouth in one bite.

"Mother, mother, let's try this pancake!" Li Nu said to her with wet eyes.

"Okay! Let's eat scallion pancakes in the afternoon." Shen Hui'e smiled and nodded slightly.

"Niang, there are people selling preserved eggs on the street." The cat slave looked at her with his watery eyes and said.

"That's perfect. We can buy some when we want to eat." Shen Hui'e blinked and thought for a while, "There are only a few preserved eggs left at home. We'll eat them this afternoon."

"There will be people selling steamed buns in the future, so we don't have to make them ourselves." Da Chong said as he swallowed the scallion pancake in his mouth.

"Yes! We can make it ourselves or buy it if we want." Shen Hui'e looked at them with a smile and said, "But these steamed buns are okay for ordinary people to eat occasionally, but it's impossible to eat them for every meal."

"Can't you afford it?" Li Nu looked at her with his deep and bright dark eyes.

"Yes!" Shen Hui'e pursed her lips and looked at her and said, "The yield per mu of land is limited, or even lower. Our family has few people and we have help, so we can only grow this much. After paying the tax, we can't eat white flour every meal. For those with even lower yield per mu, there will be little left after paying the tax. It's good enough if we don't dig grass roots and eat tree bark."

"Uh..." The big bug grunted for a long time and said, "Mother, can't we plant more land?"

"Manpower is limited." Shen Hui'e looked at them deeply and said.

The big bug's black eyes turned and said, "It seems that the only way for mother is to increase the production."

"Raise more pigs and chickens." Li Nu looked at her with sparkling eyes and said.

"We are already doing this." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them tenderly.

"Is there no other way?" The raccoon blinked his watery eyes and looked at her and said, "Buy a cow!"

"But cows get tired too! They need to rest too!" Shen Hui'e looked at her tenderly and said, "Besides, not every family has cows! There are only a few families in our county that have cows. You can count them on one hand."

The raccoon slave hung his head and let out a frustrated "ah..."

"Don't be discouraged! There are always more solutions than problems." Shen Hui'e looked at her softly and said.

"Didn't my mother say that using tools is much better than just being a human?" The big insect looked at her with his black eyes and said, "Tools, transformation tools."

"That's right." Shen Hui'e looked at him with deep and penetrating eyes.

Productivity determines production relations. To improve productivity, we must start with tools.

If you plant this kind of seeds from childhood, you never know what kind of flowers will bloom.

"It would be nice if the plow could move by itself." The raccoon looked at her with wet eyes like a puppy.

"Impossible!" The big tiger stared at her with his dark eyes without blinking.

"I know that too! Just thinking about it." Li Nu blinked his innocent eyes and looked at them and said.

"Eat, eat." Shen Hui'e looked at them with bright eyes and said, "Let's talk after dinner."

Shen Hui'e sliced ​​the stewed fish directly into fillets for fear that the fish would prick them with bones, so they could eat it with confidence.

Of course the fish head was given to Huang Er, who was eating it happily under the table!

After drinking two large bowls of rice, Shen Hui'e was sweating all over and fanning herself with a straw fan.

"Auntie, are these tools only for humans to use?" Cheng Donglai looked at her thoughtfully and asked.

"In addition to human power, there is also animal power! That is cattle, horses and livestock." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her bright dark eyes and said.

"Blow it with the wind!" Li Nu looked at her innocently with his bright eyes.

"That's a good idea." Shen Hui'e looked at her with her beautiful peach blossom eyes and said, looking at her face which was cruel because of her praise, "What should we do when there is no wind?"

"Uh..." The raccoon slave was speechless.

"Use the water drop!" The big insect looked at her with his bright black eyes and said.

"How did you think of that?" Shen Hui'e looked at him in shock with her pupils slightly constricted.

It’s in a plain and there’s no waterfall!

"When I was bathing!" The big tiger patted his shoulder and said, "The cloth on my shoulders would slide off if I wasn't careful." Then he added, "It won't happen in the river. It will float."

"You can use water power, but you must have water." Shen Hui'e looked at them with eyes as gentle as jade and said, "In short, you have to rely on the river, and the water must have a drop in height. How are you going to solve this problem?"

"Uh..." Da Chong opened and closed his mouth, rubbing his forehead with his hand, "It seems there is no way."

"Keep thinking." Shen Hui'e looked at them encouragingly and said.

Gaining power is actually just a fancy way of boiling water for humans.

"How should we think about this?" said the raccoon, tilting his head and looking at her eagerly.

"Observe with your own eyes! Observe the various phenomena in life carefully." Shen Hui'e said, pointing to her eyes.

"Is it enough to just observe?" Da Chong said to her with a frown.

"Of course not?" Shen Hui'e looked at them with her jade-like eyes and said, "We still need to think about why. When it comes down to it, it's all for our farming and to increase yields."

"Food is the most important thing for people!" said the raccoon, looking at her with his eyes sparkling like black grapes.

"That's right!" Shen Hui'e looked at them with her deep and penetrating eyes and said, "It's not pleasant to be hungry."

"No, don't be hungry." The raccoon slave said, holding his bulging belly.

"I don't want to experience the feeling of being hungry again." Cheng Donglai shook his head vigorously.

"Then we must find ways to increase production." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her bright black eyes and said, "From land, seeds, farm tools, fertilizers... all aspects."

"Seeds?" The raccoon scratched his ear and looked at her and said.

"Good seeds will produce good seedlings." Shen Hui'e looked at her with a smile and said, "When we sow seeds, shouldn't we pick out the shriveled and insect-eaten seeds and feed them to the chickens?"

"Yeah!" The raccoon slave's eyes were full of smiles as she said, "We picked it up."

"That's right." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with a smile on her face.

"I'll go wash the dishes." Cheng Donglai and the others stood up and cleared the dishes.

"Go!" Shen Hui'e said, looking at them gently.

"Second sister, second sister, I brought the plow to you, take a look and see if it's what you want." Tie Feng walked in carrying the plow.

"Uncle." Da Chong, who was wiping the table, quickly put down the rag and bowed.

The raccoon quickly stood up from the bench, bowed and said, "Uncle."

"Be good!" Tie Feng put the plow under his feet.

"Have you eaten?" Shen Hui'e looked at him gently and said.

"I ate it! My second sister sent some big buns and steamed buns, they were so delicious. Yun'e ate two big buns and one big steamed bun." Tie Feng said with joy, his eyes curved into crescents.

"Uncle, have some water." The raccoon servant came over with a clay pot and a bowl.

"Be good!" Tie Feng said to his niece with gentle eyes.

"I'll steam it again tomorrow and give it to you when it's done." Shen Hui'e looked at him with a smile in her eyes.

"Thank you, second sister-in-law." Tie Feng looked at her gratefully and said, "It's great that Yun'e can eat." He smiled and said, "This steamed bun is delicious, sweet."

"You can eat steamed buns while they're still hot. You can also cut them into slices and coat them with egg liquid and lard before frying them for a more fragrant taste." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her bright eyes and said, "Or you can make a few dishes. After all, steamed buns are a meal when they're still hot."

"Okay! I'll tell Yun'e about it later." Tie Feng said happily, "She ate the fresh food with relish."

"You greedy girl." Shen Hui'e teased with a smile, "It's already the beginning of autumn, the weather will soon be cool, just the right time to put on some weight!"

"Haha..." Tie Feng laughed cheerfully, "My appetite is obviously much better."

"And the hawthorns, sour dates, and persimmons are all edible." Shen Hui'e looked at him with a smile.

"Peach! Apricot!" said the cat slave, looking at them with his big round eyes.

"It's still a little bitter now!" Shen Hui'e guessed. She was used to the Gregorian calendar, but she was not used to the lunar calendar yet.

"Not yet, it's not ripe yet! Yun'e likes to eat soft peaches, the skin can be peeled off." Tie Feng said with a smile, "You can just suck it directly."

"We'll have to wait a little longer." Shen Hui'e smiled and said, "While the fruits are coming down, eat more fruits. It's good for the baby's skin. It will be fair and tender, and the baby will be smart and beautiful."

"Really? I'll buy one for Yun'e later." Tie Feng said happily, pointing to a plow not far away and said, "Second sister, take a look at this plow, what do you think?"

Shen Hui'e stood up and walked to the plowshare, looked it up and down, left and right, and then lifted it up. Her eyes were the ruler, exactly as she described.

"Second sister, although the plow head is ready, what should we do with the plow support?" Tie Feng frowned and looked at her and said, "I installed the original plow support, but it seems inappropriate to not use it."
