The salt lake was found, but extracting the salt was difficult.

After Jiang Xueying returned, she took her tools and went there again. She used the traditional method to boil the water and indeed got salt crystals, or coarse salt.

Nowadays, salt is official salt. Most people eat coarse salt on a daily basis, and fine salt is only available to the rich and powerful.

If she could make good use of the salt lake to extract crude salt, wouldn't she make a fortune?

However, selling salt privately is illegal. What should we do?

Think about the things you can’t figure out later. The salt lake is there anyway, and there is no rush to cash it in. The most important thing now is to fill your stomach.

Jiang Xueying had buried a trap in the back mountain. When she went there, she heard the cry. She walked over quickly and was immediately delighted. It turned out that a little wild boar had fallen into the trap and was dying.

The wild boar that was obtained for free was a gift from God. Fortunately, it was not big and Jiang Xueying could take it home by herself.

When Jiang Xueying carried the little wild boar home, the two children were startled and rushed over to help, and finally got it to the stone steps.

After resting for a while, Jiang Xueying asked Ye Xiaoyu to boil water while she sharpened the knife to prepare for slaughtering the pig.

In ordinary families, there are no women who kill pigs. They usually find a butcher who specializes in killing pigs. But who is Jiang Xueying? She is a gold medal killer who knows the bones and flesh of the human body very well, let alone a mere wild boar. Although she is not as good as a professional butcher in handling it, it is still no problem for her own family use.

Ye Xiaoyu and Ye Xiaojin stood aside, watching with wide eyes as Jiang Xueying drained the pig's blood with a knife and peeled off the pig's skin with swift movements. The pig instantly turned into pieces of red meat under her knife.

The two men had never seen such a scene before. They were terrified and really afraid that the knife would fall on their hands.

Soon, Jiang Xueying had dissected the whole pig, and the water had already boiled.

I cut a large piece of meat for dinner, and the other meat also needs to be marinated before being put in, otherwise it will go bad in a few days in this weather, which would be a pity.

To marinate the meat, a lot of salt is needed. It just so happens that she has so many salt crystals. It would be great if she could purify them.

After cleaning the meat, and seeing that there were no other seasonings at home, Jiang Xueying picked up the meat and knocked on the door of a neighbor not far away.

The person who came out to open the door was not the woman with the bad attitude last time, but an old lady with a kind face. When she saw Jiang Xueying, she couldn't help but frowned slightly. Her story had already spread in the village, and the old lady didn't want to have anything to do with her.

"Auntie, please excuse me. I have run out of seasonings at home. Can you lend me some? I will give you this piece of pork!"

If Jiang Xueying came empty-handed to borrow the seasoning, Aunt Liu would definitely be impatient, but she actually came with pork. Aunt Liu couldn't help but be a little surprised, but after hesitating for a moment, she agreed.

"Okay, wait here, I'll get it for you!"

Jiang Xueying thanked her repeatedly and waited at the door for a while before she saw Aunt Liu coming over with a paper bag containing various small ingredients.

"These are the only small ingredients we have at home, you can use them first!"

"Thank you, Auntie. You can eat this pork!"

Jiang Xueying took the condiments and handed over the pork in her hand, causing Aunt Liu to wave her hands repeatedly, "No, no, you guys can eat it yourself, we have our own meat!"

This pork is very precious. The three of them had to ask the village chief for help to get a house to live in. Now this person came to ask for a small condiment. How could she take her pork!

"It's okay, Auntie. We will be neighbors from now on. I still need your help!"

Jiang Xueying handed the pork in her hand to Aunt Liu and left, without Aunt Liu calling her to stop.

Uncle Liu, who heard the noise, walked out of the door. Seeing the pork in Aunt Liu's hand, he was stunned and asked, "What's going on?"

"I came to borrow some small stuff, and I also took a piece of pork!"

Aunt Liu sighed helplessly, "I don't know where she got the money to buy pork. It's not easy for a woman to raise two children!"

"It's not easy for her. She beats the child like a fool. I think the stepmother has no good intentions. She just feels sorry for the child!"

"You didn't see it, so how do you know someone beat the child?"

Aunt Liu scolded Uncle Liu. She felt that Jiang Xueying was polite and courteous. Although she was ugly, she was not as vicious as the rumors in the village said.

After borrowing some condiments, Jiang Xueying stir-fried the meat and then stewed it with water. During this time, she went to the space again and returned to her modern home to get some useful things.

After completing the preparations, Jiang Xueying asked Ye Xiaoyu to watch the fire while she began to prepare to extract fine salt.

Using the tools taken out from the space and after repeated experiments, Jiang Xueying finally extracted fine salt. This salt has no impurities and is safe for daily consumption.

Looking at the white fine salt, Jiang Xueying was very happy and decided to get more salt crystals to extract fine salt for marinating the meat. The meat would be enough for them to eat for a long time.

When they finished, the meat was almost ready. Jiang Xueying was just about to let Ye Xiaoyu scoop it up and eat it when she heard a crackling knock on the door and angry cursing from outside.

"Jiang Xueying, you bitch, open the door quickly. How dare you steal my pig? Come out now!"

Jiang Xueying was stunned when she heard the voice. Stealing a pig? This was clearly a wild boar that she had caught in a trap on the mountain. How did it become stolen?

It seems that someone is deliberately causing trouble!

Ye Xiaoyu and Ye Xiaojin also looked at each other. If they had not heard Jiang Xueying's inner voice, they might have really thought that the pig was stolen. But now the two children have changed their views on Jiang Xueying and naturally believe her.

"Mom, what should I do?"

Ye Xiaojin walked to Jiang Xueying the fastest, holding her hand, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Knowing that Ye Xiaojin was worried about her, Jiang Xueying felt a little warm in her heart. She smiled and touched his head, "Don't be afraid. Let's see what tricks they are going to play today."

No one went to open the door, and the knocking sounds outside soon turned into kicking. The wooden door of the old house could not withstand such a tossing and turning, and it fell down with a "bang".

Following a loud bang, a series of hurried footsteps rushed straight to the lobby, and ran over at the smell of meat in the air.

When she entered the main room, she saw red and white meat neatly stacked in the room. The air was filled with the aroma of meat, which made Aunt Zhang stunned for a moment. She swallowed her saliva unconsciously, and at the same time she became even more envious and jealous. Her family had not eaten pork for so long, so they had to have a good time today. All the meat was enough for their family to eat for many days.

"Jiang Xueying, you bitch, I didn't expect you to steal our pig as soon as you moved in!"

Jiang Xueying's name as the vicious stepmother is well-known in the village. Many people sneer at this. They didn't expect that she is also a thief. She blatantly stole other people's pigs and killed them at home to eat. It's really too much.
