Pig Killer

Chapter 168

"Are you so greedy?" Shen Hui'e looked at them with her eyes wide open, "You don't even leave yourself a way out."

"Maybe he forgot about himself while counting the money. The price of food has increased more than five times compared to three months ago." The cat slave said, stretching out his hand.

"Well..." Shen Hui'e's deep pupils moved gently, "No one in our county sells grain to him. Do other counties also sell it to him?"

The tiger scratched his ear and said, "People won't sell it to them, right? Everyone knows how precious food is now!"

"Yes! Food is precious. Even if you have a mountain of gold or silver, you can't buy a grain of wheat." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her jade-like eyes and said, "Only food is truly valuable."

"You deserve it, black-hearted businessman." Da Chong said with great relief.

"Mother, there is no food left in this grain store. Will we have enough food?" Li Nu asked nervously, grabbing her hand.

"Little fool, it's been three months." Shen Hui'e looked at them with a smile and said, "I'm going to the countryside to collect pigs, let's kill them."

"Oh! Kill the pig!" The tiger jumped up and down happily, "Finally, I can eat pork."

"Be careful, don't poke a hole in the roof." Shen Hui'e teased him with a smile on her face.

"No, no, I can't jump that high." The big tiger said honestly, slurping his saliva, "I want dumplings, wontons, buns, braised pork, and spare ribs." His black eyes curved into crescents, "I've been waiting for a whole year."

"I'll leave now." Shen Hui'e said excitedly, "You guys can stay at home!"

"Yes, yes, we have small beans!" said the big insect with a smile.

"Where are they? How come I didn't see them?" Shen Hui'e blinked and looked at the brother and sister and said, "Aren't they running together?"

"They went fishing." The big bug looked at her with his black glass eyes and said, "Just like us, they broke holes in the ice to catch fish."

"I'll go to the river to check on the pigs." Shen Hui'e took the hemp rope, put on the backpack, and pushed the wheelbarrow out of the house, "You guys let Huang Er go."

"I know, I know." The big tiger let Huang Er go.

"Locker the door." Shen Hui'e carefully reminded them, "It's not safe now."

"Yeah!" Da Chong watched her leave with the wheelbarrow, turned around and went home to close and lock the door, then went under the rack with Li Nu to practice boxing and kicking moves.

&*&

Shen Hui'e pushed the wheelbarrow to the river, "Huh..." So many people, and they started fighting.

Xiao Douzi was fighting with someone for the fish and they started fighting right on the ice.

"Xiaodouzi, Xiaodouzi." Shen Hui'e put down the wheelbarrow, stood on the shore and shouted at him.

When Xiaodouzi heard the sound, he looked towards the shore, and while he was distracted, he was hit hard on the cheek.

"Oh!" Shen Hui'e half covered her face. It was really a wrong decision.

How could Xiao Douzi be so unconvinced after being beaten all over? "You dare to hit me!" Like a hungry tiger, he rushed towards the person who hit him and pressed him to the ice.

Shen Hui'e looked at the boys fighting on the ice, closed her eyes and shouted at the top of her voice, "The ice is cracked, the ice is cracked. Run! Otherwise you will fall into the water."

After hearing this, what's the point of fighting? The guys on the ice immediately ran towards the shore.

"Where is it cracked?"

"The ice isn't cracked at all."

"You guys can't be sure if you keep playing on the ice for a while." Shen Hui'e looked at them unhappily and said, "Xiao Douzi, is your face okay?"

"It's okay." Xiaodouzi lifted the earmuffs of his dog-skin hat and said, "It won't hurt that much with these on."

"what sound?"

"Crack, crack..." The sound continued to ring in her ears. Shen Hui'e looked at the ice surface. Oh! It really cracked this time.

"That was a close call." They who were standing on the shore rejoiced.

"If this falls into the water, it will freeze to death!"

"Even if you don't die, you'll be killed if you catch a cold."

"Are you going to continue fighting?" Shen Hui'e said unhappily to them as they were getting hot-headed.

"It was Xiaodouzi who started it first."

"I made the hole in the ice, and you were the ones who stole the fish first. Beating you is not a light punishment." Xiaodouzi said, waving his fist.

"The fish jumped up by itself. Whoever grabs it gets it."

"You unreasonable guy..." Xiaodouzi raised his fist in anger.

"Xiaodouzi?" Shen Hui'e stretched out her hand to stop him and said, "That's enough."

"They are making excuses." Xiaodouzi said with his face flushed with anger, looking at her aggrievedly.

"There are plenty of fish in this river. If we cast our nets, we can catch a lot. When the time comes, we can divide the fish so that everyone can get a lot." Shen Hui'e looked at them unhappily and said, "You are in trouble now. You don't even have many fish. Now you are in trouble! You have nothing to eat."

"what is it now?"

"I haven't eaten for days."

"Woooo..."

Shen Hui'e looked at them with a headache and said, "Go home and get your fishing nets or backpacks, and find a new place to cast your nets, or wait for the river to freeze over again." She pointed at them with her index finger and said, "Don't go into the water now, the ice is very sharp!"

"We don't dare!"

"This water will kill you."

Shen Hui'e felt relieved after hearing this. She had already reminded them. She looked at Xiao Douzi and said, "Xiao Douzi, go home."

"Oh!" Xiaodouzi responded obediently, looking at the unicycle path in front of her, "Where are you going?"

"Let's go to the countryside and collect pigs." Shen Hui'e looked at him with a smile and said, "There's pork to eat!"

"That's great." Xiaodouzi looked at her with a smile on his face.

"Go home quickly, why are you staying here? Aren't you feeling cold?" Shen Hui'e looked at them and urged.

"Oh! Let's go now." Xiaodouzi called his companions, saluted, and turned to leave.

"The ice is cracked like this. We can't go today. You should go home too! We'll talk about it tomorrow." Shen Hui'e looked at them good-naturedly and said, "Remember not to have too many people standing on the ice. It's too dangerous. Everyone will fall down when the ice cracks." Pointing to her waist, she said, "Tie a hemp rope around your waist. If one person on the shore holds on to it, they can be pulled up in time if there is any danger." She looked at these young boys and said, "Did you remember?" and started pushing the wheelbarrow.

"Um... the butcher lady." He punched Xiaodouzi and said shyly, "I'm sorry for what happened just now! I was just very anxious. There is not much food left at home."

This kid also knows that he is making excuses! Shen Hui'e looked at them with deep and penetrating eyes and said, "Think of a way to get more food. You can only get as much as you want by robbing others! There is a lot of food in our river and forest. Be diligent and you won't starve."

"We don't have the ability you have."

"Yes, yes."

"If you don't have the ability, then learn it!" Shen Hui'e looked at them unhappily and said, "There's no such thing as a free lunch. It's better to rely on yourself than on others." She raised her eyebrows and said, "You haven't reached the end of your rope yet, so it's a good time to learn some skills."

Shen Hui'e looked at them tenderly and said, "I'm leaving."

"That pig-killing lady, can you teach me?"

"Wild animals run too fast. We can't catch them with our bare hands."

Shen Hui'e glanced at their tender little faces, thought for a moment and said, "Come here tomorrow at noon, and I'll teach you how to catch rabbits."

"thanks, thanks."

"See you tomorrow." Shen Hui'e said to them with gentle eyes.

"Hey!"

Shen Hui'e pushed the wheelbarrow and walked towards the village. It was a very cold day and the village was very quiet. Only when she passed by, the dogs barked.

Shen Hui'e knocked on Wang Su's door. It was Qi who opened the door. Seeing her, she was very enthusiastic and said, "Mrs. Pig-killer, come in quickly, come in quickly."

"How is it? The pork hasn't gone bad, right?" Shen Hui'e stepped into the yard.

"No, no, it tastes delicious!" Qi looked at her with a beaming smile.

"You guys eat!" Shen Hui'e said, looking at her with a smile.

"Just ate, just ate." Qi smiled and said, "We dare not disobey the emperor's order."

"Okay! The pork hasn't gone bad and it tastes pretty good." Shen Hui'e looked at her gently and said, "Take it to the wine shops and restaurants in the city and sell it. They are short of ingredients right now!" She winked at her playfully and said, "You can ask for a higher price."

Qi smiled and said, "The owner of the wine shop has come to our house and the price he offered is very high."

"That's good, it can make up for your losses." Shen Hui'e looked at her with a smile.

"Well..." Qi looked at her with bright eyes and said, "You taught us this method and helped us get through the difficult times. We didn't give you any money at that time. We kept ten kilograms of bacon for you as a thank you!" He looked at her firmly and said, "You must accept it."

"You can keep it and sell it for money! Now is a time of great difficulty." Shen Hui'e looked at her tenderly and said, "Who knows what will happen in the future? It's good to have money."

Shen Hui'e looked at her firmly and said, "When things get better, I won't be polite to you."

"Well then! I'll owe you first." Qi said to her with red eyes.

"Since the owner of the tavern is here, you have to be careful that he may lower the price." Shen Hui'e said to her, looking at her with her deep eyes.

"Lower the price? How do you do that?" Wang Su looked at her anxiously and asked.

"Use the prices of other villages to lower your prices." Shen Hui'e pursed her lips and looked at them and said, "For example, if you sell for 300 wen, other villages offer 200 wen. Naturally, you won't be able to sell it, or you can only lower the price."

"What should we do?" Wang Su panicked and asked, "Slaughter the pig lady."

"It's simple. Gather all the pig farmers and hold the price high. No one is allowed to lower the price." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her deep and clear eyes and said, "The disadvantage is that people are not united and it's easy to be defeated one by one."

Wang Su understood immediately after hearing this, "I understand. We are all from the same village and stick together."

"That's good." Shen Hui'e looked at them gently and said.

"It's hard to say when it comes to money. What if he's tempted by a little bit of profit?" Qi said worriedly.
