Chapter 58 The Pig Slaughter Feast and Well Digging (1/2)



The villagers never expected Ye Yanche to be so enlightened.

After a brief moment of silence, the air erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers.

The director cursed, "Damn, they really know how to win people over!"

He probably forgot that one of the rules of the show is to win the favor of the locals and obtain supplies.

Seeing the two directors' discomfiture, the guests realized that they had been overthinking things; the matter of eating pork had nothing to do with them.

At this moment, the village head stepped forward.

Thanks to Ye Yanche and his sister for praising them so highly.

The villagers immediately developed an overwhelming fondness for the brother and sister who came from the city.

But the village chief was in a dilemma again.

"Xiao Ye, everyone is very happy to see the wild boar, but it's a pity that our village's butcher Zhao has moved to town to open a butcher shop. Who will slaughter the pig now?"

"I'll do it!" a voice suddenly rang out.

It turned out to be a group of guests, including Lu Ran, who stepped out of the crowd with a confident smile.

"My hometown is a pig-slaughtering village!"

Ye Yanche patted Lu Ran on the shoulder happily.

"Alright! You and Luo Yifei are welcome to join the pig-slaughtering feast at noon!"

Lu Ran and Luo Yifei had been eating steamed buns all day and were craving them so much that their eyes were practically slits from smiling.

Why bother farming when there's meat to eat?

In the crowd, Shen Le's son wanted Xiao Xi's wild rabbit and cried so hard that he rolled around on the ground with tears and snot streaming down his face. Despite the large crowd, no one paid any attention to him.

Shen Le was furious: These people are so heartless. Children don't understand, but don't you adults understand either? You don't even offer a word of comfort.

Now that they're in one group, the farmers have also run away. What should they do next?

The threshing ground is bustling with activity, like a festival.

Because there is no well in the village, the villagers have to walk a long way to fetch water from a small river.

The rest of the people were assigned tasks: some built the stove, some carried the table, some carried bowls from home, and some picked vegetables from their own plots.

The village has a small population, yet they managed to fit a table on such a large drying ground.

Lu Ran slaughtered the pig, bled it, and butchered it in one smooth motion, just like a skilled butcher carving up an ox.

Luo Yifei's family runs a restaurant, and he worked hard cooking dishes at the pig-slaughtering banquet.

The two also won the favor of their fellow villagers.

A unique pig-slaughtering feast was held on the scorching dam.

Everyone was dressed poorly, and with the old commune as the backdrop, the sunbath really had a strong sense of the era.

The aroma of pure, natural wild boar meat and pesticide-free vegetables is simply irresistible; the air throughout the entire village is almost filled with its fragrance.

It must be said that the variety show "My Days in the Novel" was extremely successful.

The directors stopped arguing with Ye Yanche about his unreasonable behavior, since they had prepared enough meat for themselves.

Luo Yifei and Lu Ran managed to infiltrate the pig-slaughtering feast. The other guests felt the aroma was like a death knell, leaving them nowhere to hide and secretly drooling with envy.

During the meal, Xiaoxi asked the village chief a question.

"Uncle Director, why do we have to fetch water from such a far river? Can't we dig a well in the village?"

The village head sighed, "Our village is located on higher ground, so groundwater doesn't flow through here, and it gets even drier in spring and summer."

We've tried digging wells before, but no matter how deep we dug, we never found water.

Xiaoxi saw how hard the villagers worked, and her master taught her skills so that she could help more people.

"Uncle Director, would everyone like to have a well?"

"Of course we want to, everyone dreams of it."

"Uncle Director, how much does it cost to dig a well?"

"It's very expensive, it costs five thousand yuan."

For Xiaoxi now, five thousand yuan is nothing. She told the village chief that she could find a suitable place to dig a well, and if she couldn't dig a well, the five thousand yuan would be hers.

Ye Yanche was chatting with Luo Yifei and Lu Ran about e-sports when he suddenly heard Xiao Xi next to him say that she wanted to dig a well. However, the village chief found it hard to believe that Xiao Xi could find an underground water source.
