Yun the Butcher smiled and said, "You are still a child."
"Yiyi, Third Brother, you two go play. Dad and I will call you after we finish cleaning up the pigs."
"We both heard it, brother."
After Third Brother Yun finished speaking, he and Yun Yiyi sat down on the open space next to the woods to rest.
"Third brother, have you eaten the dumplings my mother made?"
"My eldest brother and I have already eaten. My second brother brought it to us. Yiyi, have you eaten the dumplings?"
Yun Yiyi shook her head and smiled, "Third brother, I ate some too. Dad brought me some dumplings up the mountain."
Brother Yun San said with a hint of nostalgia, "It's been a while since I've had dumplings made by my mother. After eating them today, I felt they were so delicious."
“I wish I could eat dumplings every day.”
Yun Yiyi pushed Third Brother Yun and said, "Third Brother, what are you thinking about? In those years, if we ate dumplings every day, we would have eaten them all up quickly."
"Yes, I forgot about this." Brother Yun San scratched his head embarrassedly.
"But, Third Brother, we can still have some dumplings with leeks and meat. By the way, Third Brother, what do you think about us having dumplings with celery and meat?
"Sure, celery and meat dumplings, I think they're delicious."
Yun Yiyi chuckled secretly, "Third brother, that's exactly what I've been waiting for. Hurry up and get up. There's a lot of wild celery in the stream. Let's go pick some."
"Well, I was just about to take a break. But picking celery is more important."
Soon, Yun Yiyi and Yun San Ge came to the mountain stream and started picking wild celery.
Although Brother Yun had picked them before, there were some small ones that he didn't pick. Now they have grown up and can be picked and eaten.
What's more, as you walk down the mountain stream, there are more and more wild celery.
Yun Yiyi and Yun Sange quickly picked a large pile of wild celery.
"Yiyi, Third Brother, Dad and I have cleaned up all the pig offal. Now we can pack up and prepare to go down the mountain."
"Third brother, eldest brother is calling us. Let's go up with these wild celery. I estimate this is enough for our family to have a meal of dumplings."
"Okay, Yiyi, you hold some, and I'll hold the rest."
A pile of wild celery was carried by Yun San Ge and Yun Yiyi to the side of the puddle.
Butcher Yun looked up and saw many emerald green wild celery. He immediately smiled and said, "Yiyi, Third Brother, you two have even thought about what filling to make dumplings for tomorrow."
Third Brother Yun laughed twice, "Dad, there's so much wild celery here in the mountain stream, and we don't have to spend money to buy it."
"Besides, celery and meat dumplings are so delicious."
Butcher Yun followed what Third Brother Yun said and nodded, "Yes, Third Brother, what you said makes a lot of sense."
"Dad didn't expect that you and Yiyi are so capable."
Yun Yiyi continued, "Dad, all this is just for eating dumplings. The hard work is worth it."
Haha, Yun the Butcher laughed out loud. Yiyi was too blunt, but she was right.
People live in this world just to eat and drink.
"Dad, let's wash the celery while there's still water in the puddle. That way, we don't have to waste water washing it when we get home."
"Okay, let your eldest brother help wash it. I'll boil the pig's offal for a while and then take it out. We can go down the mountain soon."
"I know, Dad. I'll go wash it now."
Big Brother Yun squatted by the puddle, washing wild celery with Yun Yiyi and Third Brother Yun.
Suddenly, Yun Yiyi asked, "Brother, where do we put the washed wild celery?"
Brother Yun also looked back. They brought two baskets in total, one of which was filled with wild boar meat.
The other basket is for the big iron pot, and that basket is also very big.
"Dad, can we put the washed wild celery in that empty basket?"
Butcher Yun thought for a moment and said, "Okay, go ahead. But use a ladle to scoop some water and rinse the basket before you put the vegetables in."
Brother Yun took the empty basket and rinsed it with water.
Everyone put the washed wild celery neatly into the basket.
It took nearly half an hour for Brother Yun and the others to clean all the wild celery.
Yun Yiyi stood up and stretched. "Oh, I've been squatting for too long. My legs are numb."
Brother Yun stamped his feet and said, "My feet are numb too."
Brother Yun put the basket on a stone on the side to control the water.
Brother Yun asked, "Dad, is the pig's offal almost ready?"
"Almost there, Boss, I'll be ready soon."
Butcher Yun broke off two branches, peeled off the bark, and used them as chopsticks. He used the branches to poke the large intestines, pig hearts, pig lungs, and pig trotters in the pot.
In fact, it was not cooked, just soaked in water. Anyway, the meat had to be smoked in the evening.
Butcher Yun used a branch to scoop out the pig's heart, lungs, large intestines, and trotters and put them into the basket with the pork.
Then he put the big pig's head into the pot, rolled it back and forth, took it out, and put it into the basket as well.
Next, Yun the butcher scraped out the dirty water in the big iron pot and poured it out, then scooped a few scoops of water from the puddle and put it into the pot.
Since there was no tool to scrub the pot, Yun the butcher had a solution. He rolled up the leftover hay used for kindling into a ball and used it to scrub the pot.
After brushing the big iron pot twice, it was very clean.
Butcher Yun and Brother Yun lifted the big iron pot down and put it aside to let it cool down.
Brother Yun looked at the basket in embarrassment and said, "Dad, if you put the big iron pot into the basket, the clean wild celery will get dirty."
Butcher Yun waved his hand and said, "Boss, it's okay. Wait until the iron pot cools down. I'll put the iron pot in the basket first, and then you can put the cleaned wild celery into the iron pot."
Yun Yiyi gave a thumbs up and said, "Dad, your brain works really fast."
Butcher Yun patted Yun Yiyi on the head and said, "You little troublemaker, you have no respect for your parents."
Yun Yiyi covered her mouth directly, "Dad, I didn't mean it. I was just praising you."
Butcher Yun laughed twice and ignored Yun Yiyi.
He went to the grass next to him and pulled up some hay to use as a pad in the basket later.
Brother Yun touched the big iron pot and said, "Dad, the iron pot is no longer hot. You can put it in the basket now."
"Okay, Boss, take out all the wild celery from the basket now."
"I'll be right there, Dad."
After Brother Yun finished speaking, he took out all the wild celery from the basket.
Butcher Yun first put some hay at the bottom of the basket, and then he put the big iron pot into the basket.
"Okay, boss, put the wild celery into the iron pot now."
Brother Yun put the wild celery in with swift movements.
"Boss, are you carrying an iron pot or pork?"
"Dad, let me carry the iron pot."
