Pig Killer

Chapter 108

Shen Hui'e looked at them with her glassy eyes and said, "Mutton, I don't think I've seen anyone raising sheep, where can we get it?" Then she added, "As for rice, it's grown in the south, we can't eat it."

"Why?" The big tiger looked at her with curious black eyes.

"Because it's far away! It's too difficult to transport them over mountains and rivers. Especially fruits and vegetables, which will rot within a few days after being picked. If they can't be transported to us, they will go bad." Shen Hui'e looked at them with deep and clear eyes and said, "The land and water nurture the people."

"The food in the South is different from what we eat." Da Chong said meaningfully.

"Yes! Every ten miles there are different customs, and every hundred miles there are different habits." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her bright eyes.

"Can we eat it in our lifetime?" The big insect said regretfully with a pout.

"Little fools." Shen Hui'e looked at them with amusement and said, "If the mountain is not me, then I am the mountain!"

"What do you mean?" Li Nu blinked and looked at her and asked.

"When you grow up and have long legs, go to the south and see for yourself!" Shen Hui'e looked at them with a smile and said, "See all the delicious, fun and beautiful things."

"Hehe..." The big tiger understood and looked at his legs, stamping his feet, "Hehe..."

"Why are you grinning like an idiot?" Shen Hui'e looked at him foolishly with her glassy eyes.

"My mother said, reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles." The cat slave looked at her with eyes like black grapes and said.

"That's right." Shen Hui'e looked at her with a smile.

"How far will it take and how long will it take?" the big insect asked her with its bright eyes.

"Oh! You have learned to ride a horse. It's not far." Shen Hui'e blinked her clear eyes and said, "If you can walk 800 miles a day, it will take you about ten days or half a month!"

"So far." The big tiger looked at her with his eyes wide open.

"It's not far, we can walk there." Shen Hui'e looked at them with tender eyes and said, "Ah! The water is boiling, let's put in the rice."

Shen Hui'e made egg and vegetable porridge. In addition to replenishing water, you also need to replenish salt.

Otherwise I wouldn't have the energy to go out and weed.

Each person drank two large bowls of vegetable porridge and rested for a while. Then Shen Hui'e and the others went down to the fields to pull weeds.

"Mother, can this wild grass be eaten?" The raccoon suddenly asked, "It's like wild vegetables."

"I'm afraid not. I haven't eaten it, and I haven't seen other farmers eat it. It seems that even pigs don't eat it, so you can imagine that it's not a good thing." Shen Hui'e looked at her with amusement and said, "It can't be recycled."

After a day of weeding, Shen Hui'e felt like her waist was not her own.

"Are you all right?" Shen Hui looked at them with concern.

"It's okay, it's okay." The tiger shook his head slightly, "I'm fine."

"This is much easier than plowing the land." Cheng Donglai said with a smile.

"If your hands are sore, press here." Shen Hui'e pointed to the acupuncture points on her hands and said, "You will feel much better tomorrow." Then she added, "Step on the pebbles before going to bed, and you will sleep better."

"I know, I know." Cheng Donglai responded quickly.

When it got dark, Shen Hui'e, lying on the bed, gave the children a massage in the dark to relieve their pain, otherwise they would suffer tomorrow.

Shen Hui'e laughed at the creaking sound and said, "Does it hurt so much?"

"It's not pain, it's an indescribable feeling." The big tiger said with a grin.

"Massage it, and you won't feel uncomfortable tomorrow. Otherwise, you won't be able to get up tomorrow." Shen Hui'e continued massaging with force on her hands.

From screaming loudly, to finally falling asleep comfortably after the massage, the two little guys were even snoring!

Shen Hui'e shook her head and laughed when she heard the voice. She lay on the bed and massaged her waist, thinking to herself: weeding, then fertilizing, summer harvest, autumn sowing, and autumn harvest.

Ah... Shen Hui'e stretched out her hand and rubbed her forehead, imagining this day, oh my! It was going to kill me.

Now that it has come, just accept it. What a painful realization!

When I woke up, I was still happy to kill the pigs. I weeded every other day and it took a full ten days to finish weeding.

"Oh my! The ears of wheat have emerged." Shen Hui'e said in surprise, looking at the wheat. The tiredness from weeding disappeared all of a sudden.

The ears of corn have emerged, and field management needs to be strengthened. After weeding, it is time to apply fertilizer in preparation for the summer harvest.

There is really no time to rest!

However, this farmyard manure is obviously not enough, so it seems that I can only apply it roughly.

Huang Jichang came to his second sister-in-law's field carrying a shoulder pole of manure, looked at the manure piled on the edge of the field and said, "Second sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, your manure is obviously not enough!" Compared with the manure piled up by other farmers, it was pitifully small.

"My family has few people and we only raise five or six chickens, not pigs, so there is not much manure. This is all we have, so just use as much as you can." Shen Hui'e looked at him calmly and said.

"We have a lot of pigs and rabbits this year, and my mother said she would give you some." Huang Jichang turned around and walked along the ridge of the field, "I'll pick some more for you."

"No, no, no, this is enough for me. The grain we collected minus the taxes is enough for us to eat." Shen Hui'e waved her hand to stop him and said, "Now that we have more meat, we can save a lot of grain." She called her son and said, "Big Tiger, stop your fourth uncle."

"Oh!" The tiger ran a few steps and grabbed Huang Jichang's arm, preventing him from leaving.

"No need. You have a large family, so you need to harvest more food to have enough to eat." Shen Hui'e looked at him with deep and penetrating eyes and said, "You can also take these two baskets back!"

"I have already picked it up, how can I take it back?" Huang Jichang said he would not take it back no matter what.

"Well, then! Just keep these two baskets of manure! Don't pick them anymore." Shen Hui'e agreed readily.

"If you don't want this, how can I explain to our mother when we go back?" Huang Jichang looked at her in embarrassment.

Shen Hui'e thought for a moment and said, "Forget about it this year. Raise more next year. If there are more, I won't be polite."

What else could Huang Jichang say at this point? "They are stealing manure in secret! Their heads are broken, and you still don't want it."

"My family is small, so we only need some food." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her sparkling eyes and said, "Tell Da Chong's grandmother this when you go back."

"Okay then!" Huang Jichang had no choice but to say after hearing this.

"His fourth uncle is here!" Shen Changsheng came over driving a ox cart. The ox was pulling a load of manure.

"Why are you here too?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with amusement and said.

Shen Changsheng blinked and looked at Huang Jichang and said, "His fourth uncle is also here to deliver manure."

"Yes! But I don't need it." Shen Hui'e waved her hand and said, "I have a small population and enough food. You have a large population, so take them back!"
