"Haha, Dad. This stone was right here. However, it was a big stone before, and I just knocked it into two pieces." Yun Yiyi said, and laughed secretly.

"That's what I wanted to say. I'm not mistaken. But, Yiyi, your skill in knocking stones has improved again. Before, you knocked the stones into pieces. Now you can even knock the stones in half. You're amazing." Yun the Butcher said in surprise and touched Yun Yiyi's head.

"Wow, Yiyi, you are really good at knocking stones." Brother Yun said happily.

"Brother, as long as you can control the strength of your body, you can do what I can do."

"Yiyi, I'm not good enough yet." Brother Yun said embarrassedly.

"Brother, the main thing is to practice more." Yun Yiyi emphasized.

"Boss, you move a stone, and I'll move another stone, and then we'll go back to build the stove. Yiyi, come with us and rest." said Yun the butcher.

When Brother Yun heard what Butcher Yun said, he moved a stone, and Butcher Yun moved another stone. So, Yun Yiyi moved two smaller stones, thinking she could use them as stools when she got home. Butcher Yun took the two children back.

When Butcher Yun returned, he helped Zhang set up the stove. He then took the large iron pot out of the sack and placed it on the stone stove. Butcher Yun took a look and felt the stove was a little small, so he took the pot down and moved the stones outward. Once he had the pot back on, he found it was a perfect fit.

Butcher Yun called out to the three brothers to unload the firewood from the donkey cart. After taking down two bundles of firewood from the roof, Butcher Yun realized that he had no grass for kindling, so he plucked a handful of hay from the roof.

"Wife, what are we having for lunch today?" asked Yun the butcher while washing the pot.

"Let's cut some pork liver for lunch today and make soup with the cabbage, pork liver, and the pot cakes we made earlier." Zhang said after thinking for a while.

"Wife, does the pork liver need to be cooked in advance? I have already cleaned the pot. If we want to cook it, we can cook it now." asked Yun the Butcher.

"Boss, you need to cook two pieces. Just boil the pot and cook for a few minutes. We can eat one piece at noon and one piece at night." Zhang said.

Butcher Yun added a ladle of water to the pot, then took two pieces of smoked pork liver from the meat basket and put them directly into the pot to cook. In front of the stove, Brother Yun was stoking the fire.

Second and Third Brothers Yun were feeding the little donkey hay and water. Yun Yiyi was resting on a mat. The sunlight was blocked by the branches, and the woods were cool, with an occasional breeze, which was very comfortable.

Zhang was busy breaking the pot cakes she had made earlier into small pieces. After breaking off half a basin of pot cakes, she decided she had enough and stopped. She went to the donkey cart and took a cabbage. As usual, she peeled off the outer leaves and saved them to feed the hens later. Zhang cut half the cabbage and put the remaining half back into the basket. Because there was not much fresh cabbage left, she had to eat it sparingly.

Then, Zhang took out a piece of pickled ginger and a handful of pickled chili peppers from the pickle jar, chopped them up and put them on the plate, and finally added a few drops of sesame oil.

"Wife, the pork liver is cooked." Butcher Yun shouted.

"Boss, I'll cook. You go feed the hens." Zhang said in a low voice.

"Okay, I'll go now." Yun the butcher also said in a low voice.

Zhang fished out the pig's liver and placed it in a basin. She also scooped out the water from the pot and poured it into the earthenware basin, saving it for later to mix with water and feed the donkey.

"Boss, use a high heat. We're having soup today," Zhang said as she poured a large spoonful of lard into the pot. The higher the heat, the faster the lard melted. Soon, the woods were filled with the aroma of lard.

Zhang tossed the cabbage into the pot, stir-fried it for a few seconds, and then added water. When it was half full, she covered the pot and asked Boss Yun to continue stoking the fire. She then rinsed the two pig livers and poured the water into a clay basin for the little donkey to drink.

Zhang placed one piece of liver in a clean clay pot and sliced ​​the other into thin slices, filling a large plate. The liver had only been smoked for a short time, and after being sliced ​​thinly, the color of the liver was bright and the meat was very tender.

"Mom, the water in the pot is boiling." Brother Yun shouted.

"Okay, I got it." Zhang brought the basin of pancakes to the large iron pot. She lifted the lid halfway and poured all the pancakes into the pot. Then, after stirring a few times with a spatula, she completely replaced the lid. She then brought the plate of pork liver over, opened the lid again, and poured the entire contents into the pot.

Zhang stirred it a few times with a spatula and then covered the pot again.

"Boss, there's no need to add more firewood yet. Just simmer for a few more minutes and it's ready to serve." Zhang said.

"Okay, Mom." After saying that, Brother Yun stopped adding firewood into the stove.

After four or five minutes, Zhang opened the pot's lid. She used a ladle to scoop the soup from the pot into a clay bowl. Yun the butcher saw this and brought the bowl to the table, then distributed the soup to everyone's bowls. It was hot, and this would cool it down quickly.

Zhang quickly rinsed the pot and then filled it halfway with water. She told Brother Yun to rest on the mat until dinner was ready. She picked up some wood and started to light the fire. After seven or eight minutes, the water in the pot boiled. Zhang left it alone, letting it cool in the pot.

At this moment, Yun the Butcher called everyone to eat. Everyone quickly washed their hands, sat down at the table, and picked up their bowls to eat.

"Mom, this pork liver tastes better after being smoked than the fresh pork liver we usually eat. The smoked pork liver is more fragrant and chewy." This is the evaluation of Yun's third brother, the number one foodie in the Yun family.

"Mom, for dinner's pork liver, you can stir-fry it with pickled ginger, pickled chili peppers, and dried chili peppers. It will be fragrant, spicy, and appetizing." This was the suggestion made by Yun Yiyi, the second foodie in the Yun family.

"Mom, if there are only people from our village resting at night, you and my dad can smoke the meat and fish again." This was the voice of Yun Erge, the Yun family's housekeeper.

"Mom, I think as long as it's meat, it tastes good no matter how it's cooked." This is the voice of the honest eldest brother of the Yun family.

"Wife, I think Yiyi's suggestion is very good. What do you think?" This was said by Yun the butcher, who is a hidden foodie.

"Okay, let's do as Yiyi said tonight. But everyone should eat quickly. After eating, go to sleep for a while." This is Zhang who dotes on her children.

"Yes, the soup is not hot anymore, eat quickly." Yun the butcher also urged.

Suddenly, a woman's scream was heard from the nearby woods, followed by an old man's curse and a child's cry. Everyone pricked up their ears to listen carefully, but they couldn't hear what was happening.
