Lin Qixia was originally searching for medicine for Huo Yanqing in the system space, planning to treat him further later. Unexpectedly, as soon as her consciousness emerged from the space, she met Huo Yanqing's strange gaze, and she had only just asked him a question.
"No." Huo Yanqing hesitated, then continued, "However..."
"If you're alright, then let's leave it at that."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Qixia stretched and changed her mind, saying to him, "I have something to do, so I'll go take care of it first," and left.
After all, the wild boar meat left outside in the kitchen hadn't been processed yet.
My sister-in-law was frightened today, and my brother-in-law was also emotionally affected, so neither of us can help her right now. However, she has calmed down now, so we'll just go and deal with it.
As Huo Yanqing watched her retreating figure, he murmured in confusion, "When exactly will you say you'll need me?"
He stood there, looking dejected.
Lin Qixia helped him a lot today.
But since she came here, she has needed him less and less...
Lin Qixia was completely unaware of the boy's unusual behavior behind her. After leaving the room, she planned to head towards the kitchen.
After walking a few steps, she thought for a moment and then turned back to walk towards Lin Jiudong's room.
Upon reaching the door, she raised her hand and knocked on Lin Jiudong's door, calling out rudely, "Hey! Come out!"
"What are you doing?" Lin Jiudong asked irritably through the window.
Lin Qixia ordered her, "Get to work, what else could it be? Help me deal with the wild boar."
"I'm not going!" Lin Jiudong frowned and refused.
The trauma from the bloody scene of dealing with the pheasant last time hasn't faded yet!
Lin Qixia raised an eyebrow, "Don't want to eat pork tonight?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiudong's eyes widened and he quickly said, "Who said I'm not eating? Of course I'm going to eat!"
She rushed out of the room, muttering as she ran towards the kitchen, "It's just helping to slaughter a pig, what's the big deal!"
"Hehe, you're smart to know what's good for you." Lin Qixia chuckled upon seeing this and followed her into the kitchen.
The scene of processing wild boar meat is naturally not very pleasant to watch.
Lin Qixia and Lin Jiudong worked together to carry the pig to an open space in the yard to slaughter it, since the kitchen was too cramped and not a good place to do so.
Slaughtering pigs was a completely unfamiliar job for Lin Qixia.
But she still steeled herself and did it.
When the knife was plunged in, Lin Jiudong, who was standing next to her, reacted even more strongly than she did.
"Ugh! How can there be so many intestines? It's disgusting!" Her scream was piercing.
Lin Qixia's ears hurt from the noise. "You feel nauseous now, but you won't feel nauseous when you eat it."
Once the pig offal is properly prepared, it can also be very delicious.
Lin Jiudong pouted upon hearing this, "If you want to eat, then eat more. I'm not eating!"
It's crazy to eat pig intestines instead of meat.
Lin Qixia rolled her eyes at her expression and didn't want to say anything more to her.
But does nobody in this world eat pig offal?
She shook her head, thinking it was unlikely, given that there was almost a famine.
Perhaps the Lin family has been so poor these days that they can't even afford to buy pig offal.
Lin Jiudong, of course, had never seen anyone deal with it.
"Here, go wash it clean!" She tossed a pile of sausages to the other person.
Lin Jiudong screamed in fright, "Ahhh! Lin Qixia, what are you doing?"
"Hurry up! Otherwise you won't get any pork tonight!" Lin Qixia threatened her.
Lin Jiudong was so frightened that she burst into tears, but upon hearing this, she still cried and replied, "Waaah, I'll wash! I didn't say I wouldn't go..."
Damn Lin Qixia!
If it weren't for her older brother and sister-in-law's current support for her, she wouldn't have suffered such injustice!
Lin Qixia watched as she washed pig intestines while crying, and the smell made her gag repeatedly, and then she laughed.
Now I feel instantly better, and I enjoy my work even more.
Her adopted sister was really annoying today.
Fortunately, after her "careful guidance" these past few days, the other party is now somewhat more obedient.
Lin Qixia, meanwhile, was busy processing the other parts of the wild boar.
After cutting the pork, Lin Qixia carried it into the kitchen piece by piece.
"Xia'er, why are you busy here all by yourself?" After He Zhilan came out of the west wing, she saw Lin Qixia carrying the slaughtered pork toward the kitchen, so she frowned and called out.
When Lin Qixia brought back the wild boar meat earlier, she planned to wait until she had appeased her husband before going out to deal with it.
Unexpectedly, when they came out, they saw that the wild boar had already been almost completely dealt with by Lin Qixia.
"It's alright, sister-in-law, Jiu Dong and I can finish this little bit of work," Lin Qixia said to her.
The two then went into the kitchen, and Lin Qixia asked He Zhilan, "How is my brother?"
"Sigh, what else can we do?" He Zhilan sighed and replied, "That's just your brother's temper. He'll get over it in a while and be fine."
"I see." Lin Qixia gave a slight smile.
He Zhilan was being a bit too optimistic, judging from Lin Xiao's appearance today.
If his leg isn't healed quickly, his condition will likely worsen.
"Sister-in-law, I've cut this meat. You can handle it." Lin Qixia handed some of the pork to He Zhilan and asked her to prepare it.
We didn't have much venison left from last time, but we made some He Zhilan into smoked meat, which can be preserved for a long time.
This time, she also set aside some for He Zhilan to make into smoked meat.
He Zhilan frowned as she looked at the bowl of meat. "Are you making all of this smoked meat? Isn't that a bit too much?"
"It's alright, we can't finish it all in a short time anyway, let's just make it into smoked meat," Lin Qixia said firmly.
After all, we need to do everything we can to store food in order to cope with the famine years to come.
