Pig Killer

Chapter 170

"Yeah! Now I don't do anything except buying pork, how dare I do that!" Shen Hui'e nodded slightly and said, "Is there a lot of food in Hezhong Prefecture? Just keep buying like this."

"That's what I heard! I really don't know." Shen Penglai said mysteriously, "It is said that the grain collected was colluded by the county governor and local grain merchants..."

Shen Hui'e looked at them in shock, and said, "How dare you be so audacious? You are really risking your life. This must be fake! At this critical moment."

"There is no smoke without fire." Shen Changsheng raised his eyebrows and looked at her and said, "This flour is similar to the flour you grind. It is very fine and white."

Not only is the flour ground at home coarsely, but it is also black in color.

"Dare to do this?" Shen Hui'e pinched her brows and asked, "What do you rely on?"

"It is said that he offered his daughter to the new emperor." Shen Changsheng said disappointedly.

"What?" Shen Hui'e almost dropped her jaw in shock, stammering, "He...he...made us mourn, but he himself is so..." She slammed on the brakes. It was not right to say such an obscene thing in front of the children. Wasn't the one who died his own father?

"Stupid monarch!" Li Nu blurted out.

Shen Hui'e covered her mouth fiercely when she heard this, "Don't talk nonsense."

The cat slave's eyes were as big as copper bells, and he blinked at his mother.

"Don't say this again!" Shen Hui'e looked at her seriously and said.

"Hmm!" Li Nu responded in a muffled voice.

Shen Hui'e let go of her hand, looked at her with a stern face and said, "Some things are better understood in your heart. There is no need to say them out loud. We know." She put her arm around her shoulders and said, "Don't talk about anything above." She pointed to the ceiling.

"Oh!" the cat slave responded obediently.

"This is fake!" Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows and looked at Shen Changsheng and said, "His father just died, he can't be so unfilial!"

"Really!" Shen Changsheng looked at her with dark eyes and said.

"You chose such an heir?" Shen Hui'e looked at him in disbelief.

"We don't know about that. Maybe he was very good at pretending before." Shen Changsheng hesitated and guessed randomly, "He pretended to be the person his father liked, but now his true nature is exposed." He pursed his lips and said, "These are all rumors."

"The fact that it could be transmitted shows that something went wrong up there." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with a frown.

"No, no, I know because I have a way to get the news. Common people don't know anything." Shen Changsheng said quickly after hearing this, "Don't scare yourself."

"What are you worried about, second sister?" Shen Penglai asked, looking straight at her.

"Things are sliding in an uncontrollable direction." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her deep and bottomless eyes and said, who knows if there will be any ambitious people who will take advantage of the opportunity!

You upper echelons can fight however you want, but don’t involve us common people. Let us farm in peace and don’t cause unrest among us.

Shen Changsheng stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. The more we talk about it, the more scary it gets. This is too far away from us."

Shen Hui'e moved her mouth and looked at him, then swallowed the words back.

"By the way, let me show you something good." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her crystal clear eyes.

"I'll get it." Da Chong said excitedly, jumped off the bed, ran to the inner room in his straw sandals, and brought the pig's pancreas. "Uncle, take a look."

Shen Changsheng took the thing from his hand and spread it out in his palm. It was square, pink, tender, smooth and delicate, and had a slight fragrance.

"What is this?" Shen Changsheng put it under his nose and sniffed it, "It smells good."

"Is it food?" Shen Penglai asked curiously.

"No, it's pig pancreas." Shen Hui'e said to them with a smile on her face.

"This is the freshly made pig pancreas, the one with a strong fishy smell, and it's ugly and bumpy." Shen Changsheng looked at the pig pancreas in his hand in disbelief, his eyes wide open, "This is too different!"

"This pig has been castrated, so the fishy smell is not that strong. And with the addition of rouge and powder, it smells fragrant!" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with a smile.

"This is amazing." Shen Changsheng said, holding the lubricated pig pancreas in his hand, "It will definitely sell for a good price."

"You said it's not edible, it's made of pig pancreas." Shen Penglai stared at the pig pancreas in his eldest brother's hand.

"You only know how to eat." Shen Changsheng rolled his eyes at him and said, "This is for washing hands."

"Wash your hands?" Shen Penglai blinked his dark eyes and looked at him and said, "It's a waste of such a beautiful thing to use it to wash your hands!"

"In addition to washing away the oil on your hands, you can also use it when taking a shower or washing your hair." Shen Hui'e looked at him with amusement and said, "Oh, and it can also be used to wash clothes."

"This smells too good for a grown man, and it's pink." Shen Penglai said with disdain.

"You really don't know what's good for you. If I let you use the original one, it would be so nasty that it would kill people." Shen Changsheng looked at him unhappily and said, "People from afar are avoiding you."

"Ah!" Shen Penglai said aggrievedly, thinking about the taste, he shuddered and said, "There's no need to do this!" He said cleverly, "Just change the color."

Shen Hui'e shook her head and laughed, "Listen to my third brother."

"I'll get it." The big bug ran back into the house and took out another piece, "Yellow."

"Hey! This color is suitable for me." Shen Penglai took the pig pancreas from his hand and smiled, then put it under his nose and smelled it, "This smell is okay." He asked curiously, "Is it easy to make?"

"It's easy and very simple. All you need is enough pigs." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her deep and penetrating eyes.

"How come this is made of pigs again?" Shen Penglai blinked and looked at her and said, "Toothbrushes are made of pig hair."

"This pig is full of treasures!" Shen Hui'e smiled and pointed at herself, "Because I deal with pigs! Of course I think about pigs!"

"The pork is delicious!" said the big tiger, slurping his saliva.

"Yeah!" The raccoon slave smiled and nodded vigorously.

"Little greedy cat, we will kill the pig tomorrow." Shen Hui'e looked at the brother and sister tenderly.

"If we want to produce more pig pancreas, we need more people to raise pigs." Shen Changsheng said, staring at the pig pancreas in his hand.

"Yes! Otherwise, even a skilled cook cannot cook without rice." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her deep and clear eyes and said, "It has to be a castrated pig, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to enjoy the taste."

"Isn't it just raising pigs? Just raise more." Shen Penglai said simply.

"Silly boy, every household has to raise pigs. How many can we raise if we raise only pigs in our family?" Shen Hui'e looked at her unhappily and said, "Tens of thousands of pigs, how much can we do?"

"Does every household raise pigs?" Shen Penglai exclaimed, "How many pigs would that be? Too many, we can't eat them all."

"Haha..." Shen Hui'e shook her head and laughed, "People in the city live door to door, house to house, and have no place to raise pigs. The smell of the pig sty is unbearable." She looked at them with clear eyes and said, "I'm afraid we can't raise pigs in peace now."

"Why?" Shen Penglai asked anxiously when he heard this. Watching the money he had earned fly away was more painful than killing him.

"Raising pigs requires a stable environment. People are not able to get enough to eat now, so where will we get the food to raise pigs?" Shen Hui'e said to them with a frown.

"Uh..." Shen Penglai was speechless.

"Pig farming needs government advocacy before it can be carried out on a large scale. Individuals are too insignificant." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with clear eyes.

"The government?" Shen Penglai shook his head like a rattle, "They won't pay any attention to us! Even if they want to, the imperial court is collecting grain, and farmers can't even get enough to eat, so how can they raise pigs?" He suddenly sat up straight and said, "Second sister, second sister, we don't even raise pigs, why are you killing pigs!"

"Hunting!" Shen Hui'e said simply and easily, "People always need to eat meat. Common people can't afford it, but the rich are not affected."

"Alas..." Shen Penglai said with a frustrated look, "I was living a good life today, but it suddenly changed and became difficult." He pursed his lips and said, "I hope I can recover soon!"

"It's not up to us to decide." Shen Hui'e said without a trace of light in her deep eyes.

"Don't be so depressed, maybe it's not as bad as we thought." Shen Changsheng said optimistically, but his energy was not strong enough.

Shen Hui'e shrugged in disapproval and changed the subject, "Take this back and use it for yourselves!"

"You don't have much, do you?" Shen Changsheng guessed affirmatively.

"About fifty yuan, that's just the size of a pig's pancreas." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her clear and bright eyes.

"Keep it! We haven't used it for so many years, it's okay. You deal with pork all day, you need to wash your hands." Shen Changsheng put the pig pancreas on the wooden table, "Wait for a chance! When there are more pigs, take it out!"

"Yeah!" Shen Hui'e had no choice but to nod in response.

No way? The general environment is there!

"Let's go." Shen Changsheng stood up and looked at her and said.

"I'll take you there." Shen Hui'e stood up and said.

After seeing the Shen brothers off, Shen Hui'e and the others turned around and went back home.

"Mother, mother, now we can hold on until the summer harvest!" said the big tiger excitedly, rubbing his hands.

"It should be possible." Shen Hui'e looked at them with a smile and nodded, "It's totally fine to eat it mixed with corn." Then she breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Mom, there's really no one raising pigs anymore." Li Nu looked at her worriedly and said.

"People have nothing to eat, how can we raise pigs?" Shen Hui'e looked at her helplessly and said.

"Can't pigs just eat grass all the time?" The cat slave looked at her sadly and said.

"No! Pigs are not cows. They can't just eat grass." Shen Hui'e looked at them with clear eyes and said, "Pigs eat a variety of foods."

"Ah!" The Li Nu brother and sister suddenly wilted like eggplants hit by frost.

"We can eat something else! Let's go hunting." Shen Hui'e said to them with a smile in her eyes.
