Chapter 35 Chapter 35 It turns out that day...

It turned out that after Lin Jie returned home that day, he went to the county school the next day and spread the news that Wen Lin had lost a bet and had to eat pig intestines. He told everyone he met, and his voice was so loud and clear that it happened to be heard by a teacher who was giving a lecture outside the door. The teacher happened to be a former student of Grandpa Wen. He had always been very grateful to Grandpa Wen for lending him books to copy because his family was poor, but he had no chance to repay him. After hearing that Grandpa Wen's grandson was humiliated, he was furious and punished Lin Jie and other students in the school, asking them to write an article on nobility and inferiority as homework after class.

Upon learning of this, the county school instructor saw this as a valuable opportunity to improve the school's atmosphere. He therefore encouraged all students to include this as an after-class assignment, to be included in the assessments for the next year's class divisions. Word quickly spread throughout the school, and while everyone cursed Lin Jie upon learning the full story, some of the more resourceful students quickly realized they could solve the problem using pig intestines, and rushed to the docks to buy some, hoping to find inspiration.

Not to mention, after buying the food and eating it, several students actually wrote some good articles, which were full of gorgeous words and rich emotions.

As a result, Su Li's pig intestine stall also set off a craze among the students. Later, a rumor spread among the students:

As long as he eats the pig intestines from that young lady's house, he will be able to write like a god and write articles that will even make the teacher praise him.

Ji Feng was one of the people who believed in it. However, because he had never eaten pork before, he still had the impression that pork had a strong fishy smell and was only eaten by poor people. So at first he didn't dare to try it easily, until one day, when he saw other friends and classmates buying it.

He then asked his servant to go to the dock and buy a meal with pig intestines.

"Young Master, do you really want to eat it?" The servant boy placed the food he had bought on the desk and looked at the young man in front of him with some worry. If the lady found out that he gave this to the young master, she would definitely punish him.

"Nothing." Although Ji Feng was unwilling in his heart, he would not regret it since he had made the decision.

Hearing this, the servant had no choice but to open the food box and take out the food. The top layer was the snacks prepared for the young master by the family, and the second layer was the young master's favorite crispy duck. The servant took out the crispy duck and persuaded him again,

"How about we eat this? Isn't this the Master's favorite? Madam asked the kitchen to make it specially today."

However, Ji Feng did not respond after he finished speaking, so the servant had no choice but to continue opening the food box and take out the bowl of food at the bottom that he had bought at the dock.

Ji Feng looked at the bowl of food, feeling a bit surprised. It didn't look as scary as he'd imagined. Was this what those pig intestines were? It was quite clean, with the greasy pig intestines spread out on top, dotted with green and red chilies. He sniffed it up close, and there was no other odor. It was actually quite fragrant, a numbing, spicy aroma.

But in the end, Ji Feng still didn't break through his inner defenses: "Try it first."

After saying that, he picked up a pair of chopsticks and handed it to the servant boy next to him.

Of course he obeyed his master's order. Even though he had never eaten pig offal before, he ate what his master handed to him without hesitation.

However, the expected disgusting taste was not there at all. Instead, an indescribable flavor mixed with various condiments occupied all the taste buds. It was actually delicious!

The servant's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Sir, it tastes good."

Ji Feng looked at the servant suspiciously, "Really?"

However, he thought the other party would not dare to lie to him, so he picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

Is this taste really what those people call fishy and unpalatable? It's actually quite good, fragrant and crispy, without any peculiar smell. Paired with green and red peppers and finely chopped ginger, it's simply too delicious.

Ji Feng had never eaten this kind of thing before. This was his first time trying it, and he didn’t expect it to taste so good.

He had just swallowed it when he picked up another piece with chopsticks. It was spicy and numb, very satisfying. He took another bite of the sweet potato rice. The sweet sweet potato and the perfectly soft rice were simply too delicious. The stir-fried vegetables were even better than the ones made by his chef.

Ji Feng's eyes lit up as he ate, and soon the food in his bowl was cleaned up. The servant boy next to him was hoping that the master would leave some for him at the beginning, but later he made up his mind to buy one for himself when he got home later. After all, it was not expensive and he could afford it.

Lin Jing had the same idea as Ji Feng. He looked at the pig intestines he bought and was a little reluctant at first, but after taking a bite, he couldn't stop eating them.

"It's delicious, so delicious!" This is not just pig offal, it's simply a delicacy.

As a foodie, Lin Jing could be said to have eaten in every corner of the county. He even knew which shop’s sesame cakes and candies were the best. As a result, his weight soared and soon increased to nearly 200 pounds.

In his opinion, he already knew almost all the delicious food in the county, but he didn't expect that there were still some that slipped through the net. What a mistake!

While feeling regretful, he ate with big mouthfuls of food until his mouth was full of oil.

On this side, Su Li, Chen and the other two, who learned what had happened, didn't know what to say. They didn't expect that their family's fried pork intestines could stand out in this way and attract so many customers for them. Isn't this a good luck?

"The food that the girl made is really delicious. Many people in the county school praised it after eating it."

If some of the students who came here at the beginning were superstitious and some were here for curiosity, then in the end there were also some who really found the food delicious and recommended it to others.

Liu Yan was recommended by her classmate Lin Chen. Lin Chen would say that pig intestines were delicious every day at school and after school. This made Liu Yan curious. She happened to have some free time that day so she came to try it. Unexpectedly, the person she met was an acquaintance from the same village.

"Really? Do you really think it's delicious?" Chen was also a little surprised. When she thought about the students in the school, those who had studied and learned to read, also thought that the food at her home was delicious, Chen felt a little proud.

"It's true, auntie." Liu Yan said with a smile.

Of course, there were those in the county school who thought pig intestines were cheap and spoke disparagingly of them, but there were also those who defended them and thought they were delicious, and the two sides were arguing endlessly.

During this period, many things happened and there were many discussions. Among them, the student from a wealthy family declared in front of everyone that he believed that the poor students liked to eat such cheap food because they were inherently lowly.

This made Liu Yan understand why the teacher asked them to write this article.

From a small perspective, the court is now dominated by those from aristocratic families, making it increasingly difficult for children from humble backgrounds to enter the government. Both high and low status are judged by birth. Those with good births are respected and admired, while those with poor births are discriminated against and ridiculed. People like them are like those who eat, restricted in every way by their birth, not even eligible to sit at the table of the nobles. But is this really right? Can nobility and inferiority really be determined solely by birth? But what exactly is nobility and inferiority? Liu Yan has no definitive answer.

It wasn't until this day, after he had specially bought a meal, that he suddenly understood from his first bite. Yes, one has no choice in one's birth; talent, knowledge, and character should be the criteria for judging "noble and humble." Just like how this despised pig's offal could be made into such a delicious dish, it further proves that birth isn't its fault; those who consider it inferior are deeply mistaken. With this thought, he put down his chopsticks, hurriedly ran back to the classroom, and began to grind ink and write furiously.

Lin Jing, who had just returned from outside, was a little confused after seeing this scene, but he quickly put it behind him.

He was looking at the bowl of food on the table with shining eyes!!!

Brother Liu is really nice. I know he likes to eat it, so I specially bought him his favorite stir-fried pork intestines!

In that case, he won’t be polite!

…………

"Okay, let's go buy some meat." After selling the last portion of food and packing up the things, Chen said to Su Li and the others.

The food sales have been good these days and they have earned some money. It just so happens that Mrs. Wu has been home for several days, so the three of them decided to buy some meat today to replenish their bodies. Well, it was actually Su Li who lobbied for two days before Chen agreed.

At first, Chen refused to agree to anything. In her opinion, money should be saved to be useful. Her little daughter wanted to spend the money recklessly as soon as she got it, which was an unacceptable idea.

However, Chen later considered that these days were too hard, so she agreed.

But today, in addition to buying meat, there is another thing, which is to ask Uncle Chen to send some more pig intestines tomorrow. The pig intestines have been selling particularly well these days, so we can add some more, and pickled fish can also be added. Speaking of which, it is also because the food has been selling well these days, so Chen has gained a little more confidence and decided to give it a try. It's like what her daughter said, don't put all your eggs in one basket. It sounds weird at first, but when you think about it carefully, it makes a lot of sense.

"Great!" Su Tao had been wanting to eat braised pork for a long time, and she was looking forward to buying some meat at noon when the pork was sold out!

Su Li swallowed her saliva when she thought of the taste of braised pork. She hadn't eaten pork for a long time since she came here. She really missed it!

Thinking of this, he even quickened his pace.

Around 3:00 PM, the three of them finally arrived at Uncle Chen's meat stall in the county town. Because it was already 1:00 PM, there were not many people in front of the stall. Flies were flying around the stall. Uncle Chen had gone somewhere, and only Zhao was swatting flies out of boredom.

"Sister-in-law, you are here alone, where is my brother?"

"He has something to do back home, are you guys here to buy meat?"

"Yes, sister-in-law, I want 3 pounds of pork belly and 5 pounds of pork lard." Chen thought about it for a long time and made up her mind to ask for 3 pounds of pork belly and 5 pounds of pork lard to make lard, which would last for a long time.

"I don't know if there's enough lard. We've almost sold it this morning."

Zhao answered, but she was a little surprised in her heart. To be honest, when she really heard that the other party was here to buy meat and buy so much, although she did not react on the surface, she was not without any thoughts in her heart.

How long has it been since they could afford meat? And they bought so much? They look like they've gotten rich.

Then he thought to himself, could it be true that he could make money by selling pig intestines at the dock?

"Okay, then we'll take as many as you can get," said Chen.

Zhao stood up and picked up the knife. She cut three pounds of meat neatly, no more, no less. Then she took the remaining lard and weighed it. "There are only four pounds left. Do you want some?"

"want."

"Pork belly is 17 wen a pound, so I'll give you 16 wen. Pork fat is 10 wen a pound, so I'll give you 9 wen, a total of 84 wen."

Although Zhao looked down on Chen, she did not cheat on the weight and the price she quoted was fair.

"Okay." After saying that, Chen took out some silver from her bosom and counted out a string of copper coins and handed it over.

After buying the meat, Chen talked about asking her sister-in-law Zhao to send two more pig intestines every day.

Although Zhao was already a little surprised when she saw Chen buying so much meat, she was now even more shocked.

How much money did you earn?

Thinking of this, she felt a little sad.

So they bought her pig intestines at a low price and then sold them to others at a high price to make money?
