The villager clicked his tongue in amazement a couple of times, then asked, "Can you really finish eating two wild boars that are this big?"
Bai Nuo shook her head, "We can't finish them all, so I plan to sell them!"
The villager immediately asked, "Are you planning to sell them? Sell them in town? How much per pound?"
Bai Nu tilted his head and thought for a moment, "Fifteen copper coins a pound!"
The man clicked his tongue again, "Sell it to me for fifteen coins, can I have ten catties of meat?" Fifteen coins was half the price of meat in town.
"You really want it?" Bai Nuo looked at him suspiciously. "Don't you end up killing him and then saying something bad!"
"I want it!" the villager said confidently. "Fifteen coins is much cheaper than in town. My family hasn't had meat in a long time, and the children have been asking for it. I definitely want it!"
"I'll wait here for you to slaughter the pig!" the villager said immediately, afraid that Bai Nuo wouldn't believe him.
"Oh well!"
Bai Nuo knew, of course, that fifteen coins was much cheaper than what was sold in town. A pound of pork in town cost thirty coins. However, she didn't have the habit of rushing to sell things. She had just said that on purpose!
The village head's house was very close to the village entrance, and the commotion here naturally alerted him. He saw that the two pigs were hanging under the banyan tree, and two big men were holding sharp knives, sharpening them as if they were about to slaughter the pigs. He couldn't help but ask what was going on.
After learning what had happened, the village chief also said he wanted pork and stayed to wait.
Bai Nuo couldn't be happier that they were waiting.
"Uncle Long, wait a minute!" Seeing that Long Yi was about to bleed, Bai Nuo quickly put down the basin she was holding. "Don't throw away the pig's blood, and don't make it dirty. Put it in this basin!"
Long Yi glanced at her, moved the basin aside, shaved off the pig's neck hair, then took the basin back and quickly bled the pig.
On the other side, Ryuji did the same thing.
After draining the pig's blood, Bai Nuo quickly took the two basins of pig's blood, added salt, and stirred them with chopsticks.
A villager nearby asked her, "What do you need so much pig's blood for? You can't eat it!"
Bai Nuo shook her head, "Yes, you can eat it!"
The villager shook his head and fell silent. Bai Nuo didn't explain either. Perhaps the people here didn't know how to cut pig's blood into pieces, so they didn't eat it much!
After bleeding the boar, Long Yi and Long Er worked together to shave its hair off. After cleaning the boar, they gutted it. Bai Nuo kept the intestines and other parts, filling a whole bucket.
"Bai Nuo!" the villager asked, "Are you eating this stuff because you don't have money for meat? There's wild boar meat here, aren't there? Don't sell it all, keep some for yourself!"
Bai Nuo shook her head. "I'll keep some for myself, but these things are edible too, so let's not waste them!"
Stir-fried pork intestines, stir-fried pork liver, and stir-fried pork kidneys are such delicious dishes, how can we waste them?
After Long Yi and Long Er finished slaughtering the pig, Bai Nuo left half of it and placed it on top of the bucket containing the pig offal. The remaining half of the wild boar was still hanging there.
"Uncle, how much do you want?" When the pork was ready, Bai Nuo asked the village chief first, but the village chief gestured to Bai Nuo to let the first person to arrive choose first, so Bai Nuo had to ask the villager who had arrived at the beginning.
"I want ten jin (5 kg), can I have lean meat?" the villager asked after thinking for a moment.
Bai Nuo nodded, gesturing for Long Yi to cut the meat for the villager. As Long Yi cut the meat, Bai Nuo asked, "Don't you want pork belly? Lean meat all the time isn't tasty, it gets stuck in your teeth!"
The villager said, "No, we can't eat that much, it'll spoil!"
Bai Nuo quickly replied, "No, the weather isn't hot now, it's starting to get cold. You can salt it, hang it under the eaves, and let the wind dry it. It won't spoil and you can eat it for a long time!"
"Really?" The villager asked, half-believing, half-doubting.
Bai Nuo nodded. "That's how the employers always did it when I was working in town!"
Upon hearing of a successful example, the villager didn't hesitate: "Then give me five pounds of pork belly, with a good balance of fat and lean!"
Bai Nuo readily chimed in, "Uncle, you clearly have a good palate. Pork belly with alternating layers of fat and lean meat is the most delicious!" With that, Bai Nuo asked Long Yi to cut an extra pound of meat for the villager, who paid and happily left with the meat.
Bai Nuo now has more than two hundred copper coins in his hand.
When it was the village chief's turn, he asked for five catties of lean meat and fifteen catties of pork belly. Finally, he asked Bai Nuo if it was really possible to air-dry it without it spoiling. Bai Nuo immediately told the village chief the method.
"Grandpa Village Chief, I heard from my brother Tie Niu that your wife is pregnant. As her sister, I don't have anything to give her. Please take this pig's trotter back and make some soup for her!" In this sugarcane village, although no one bullies her all the time, not many people take care of her either. The village chief's family is considered to be kind to her.
Bai Nuo remembers this kindness.
Bai Nuo spoke sincerely, and since it was for his pregnant granddaughter-in-law, the village chief did not refuse. Bai Nuo was afraid that the village chief and the others would not know how to make the soup, so he also told the village chief the method.
It's unclear whether the villager who went back first told the others in the village, but not long after the village chief left, a large number of people started to gather at the entrance of the village.
Bai Nuo had no choice but to place the pork on the stone slab for the villagers to choose from.
When they sold half a pig, Huang Yanfen and Chen Qiuling also arrived, watching them expectantly from behind.
