"Aunt Chunhua, my mother hunted a wild boar in the mountains and wants to slaughter it now. I would like to ask Uncle Dazhu to do it for my family."
Xiao Ce didn't care about Niu Chunhua's attitude. When she asked, he told her the reason for coming here.
Niu Chunhua curled her lips and said, "How come she gets all the good things?" She shouted as she went in.
"Dad, come here quickly. The kid from the Xiao family is looking for you."
Li Dazhu came out in a hurry.
"What's wrong?"
"It's the Xiao family who wants you to kill a pig. Go quickly."
After saying that, he went into the house.
"Boy, does your family kill pigs?" Li Dazhu asked curiously.
"Yes, Uncle Dazhu, my mother just killed a wild boar in the mountains, and I wanted to ask you to kill the pig."
"Okay, let's go now." Li Dazhu was happy when he heard it. He immediately turned around to find his tools and followed Xiao Ce back to the Xiao family.
"Sister, do you kill pigs at home?"
"Brother Dazhu, look, I just killed a wild boar in the mountains. Look."
Li Dazhu followed Lin Shuang's gaze and saw that it was indeed a fat pig.
"Okay, now that the water is boiling, let's start slaughtering the pig."
"It's cooked. I'll bring it over." Lin Shuang turned around and went back to the kitchen.
"Dazhu, you have to handle it properly so that Lin Shuang can sell it in town." The village chief said from the side.
"Don't worry, village chief. I will definitely handle it cleanly and divide the meat properly." Li Dazhui immediately patted his chest and promised as soon as he heard it.
After all, my own child bullied his child, so I am in the wrong. Look, my brain is messed up. I didn’t bring back a pheasant as promised. This is really wrong. After the wild boar meat is processed, I will go home to get it.
Lin Shuang brought hot water, and Li Dazhu began to process the wild boar. He cleaned it carefully, but there was not much pig blood left, as it had almost all been drained out when they were in the mountains.
"Okay, sister, here's the meat, cut into small pieces so you can take it to town and sell it."
"Thank you, Brother Dazhu."
"This piece of meat is for you." Lin Shuang directly took out a piece of meat weighing about ten pounds and gave it to Li Dazhu.
This is the unspoken rule in the village. If you kill a pig for your own family, you have to give some meat and some money.
Lin Shuang's family had no money, so they had to give her more meat.
"No, this is too much."
Li Dazhu quickly waved his hands and said, he already owed others, how could he still take so much of her flesh.
"Take it. You know my family situation. I can't pay you, so I'll give you my meat in exchange. Just keep it."
Lin Shuang and Li Dazhu were pushing each other all the time.
Finally, Li Dazhu cut off a piece of meat from the meat, about five pounds, and hurried back home.
"Oh, you really are such a person." Lin Shuang shook his head helplessly.
"Village chief, all of you come here. Two pounds of meat each. Xiao Ce, go back and get the weights."
After a while, Xiao Ce brought the weight over.
Lin Shuang and Xiao Ce cooperated with each other and soon divided the meat of all the people who came.
"Lin Shuang, thank you so much."
"Actually, you don't have to be so polite. We didn't help you either."
The people in the village still felt a little uneasy, after all, they really went up the mountain to look for them.
Maybe they don’t understand how important this friendship is in Lin Shuang’s eyes, they just feel that they are doing their duty and not going against their own wishes.
However, Lin Shuang knew that the unity of a village was much stronger than being indifferent to things that did not concern you.
"Just keep it and go home to let everyone in the family enjoy it."
Lin Shuang knew that this place was not very wealthy and everyone's living conditions were not very good. Almost everyone was pale and thin. Only people like the village chief and hunters had better living conditions.
After hearing what Lin Shuang said, the villagers accepted it and left one after another.
The village chief stayed behind and came to Lin Shuang and Xiao Ce.
"You are going to sell it in town, right? I have a bullock cart at home, you can come and get it tomorrow."
The village chief also did his best to help this family. Although it was a small effort, it was already good for the Xiao family.
"Okay, thank you, village chief. Xiao Ce, say thank you quickly."
"Thank you, Grandpa Village Chief."
"Why are you being so polite to me?" The village chief smiled and went home.
"Xiao Ce, let's wrap up all the pork and don't let anything eat it."
"Okay." The two of them got busy, and the three little guys gathered together chattering about what had just happened.
After a quarter of an hour, it was finally done.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Shuang started cooking. There were two pots in the kitchen. Lin Shuang planned to use one for cooking and the other for boiling water. This way the food would taste better and there would be no need to worry about the bath water and most water mixing with each other.
Xiao Ce and Xiao Wangshu came in and started lighting two stoves. Xiao Jingyu didn't want to move anymore. Xiao Nanxin squatted on the ground and watched the rabbits when he had nothing to do. Unfortunately, they were all locked in the backpacks. Gradually, he lost interest and ran to count the peaches in the basket.
Lin Shuang took out some seasonings from the space, and the fragrance slowly drifted out, from the windows, chimneys, and doors to everywhere. Several nearby families were affected by it, and they all said that it was too fragrant.
"Oh my goodness, whose meat is this? How can it smell so good?"
"That's right, I feel like all I ate before was pig food."
"What's the matter? You think my cooking is not tasty? If you have the ability, just cook it yourself." The old lady rolled her eyes.
"Oh, old woman, I never thought so, but it does smell delicious."
"Really? I don't know who made it."
"Hey, whose family else could it be? The one from the Xiao family." The neighbor next door leaned over and said sourly.
"That's true, but that's also her own skill. She hunted the pork in the mountains and cooked it herself. She deserves it to be delicious."
"Tell me, why can't we make something so delicious? Otherwise, let's go to the corner of her house and smell it."
"Okay, let's go. Oh, and bring the food. This is how you eat."
"Yes, yes, yes." The two of them hit it off immediately and took their bowls of rice to the corner of Xiao's house. They smelled the aroma and dug up the rice in the bowl with their chopsticks, as if they could also eat the delicious braised pork this way.
After Li Dazhu returned home, he took a pheasant to the Xiao family.
He just let it go and ran away, fearing that he would be caught up by others. After all, he had just witnessed Lin Shuang's ability to argue.
Lin Shuang knew that Li Dazhu had taken this pheasant for his family member Li Dabao, so she readily asked Xiao Ce and Xiao Jingyu to kill the chicken.
"Stepmother, your meat smells so good." Xiao Nanxin swallowed the saliva from his mouth and looked straight at Lin Shuang.
She never knew that meat could be made so delicious.
