Chapter 114
Chapter 114
"Learn more skills." The raccoon slave said to his mother with eyes like black grapes.
"That's right." Shen Hui'e looked at them with a smile and said, "Why don't you write big characters?"
"Oh oh!" the big tiger responded happily.
This time they have a special writing board, which Liu Ding made specially for them.
Now you know how to count, you also need to be able to memorize the multiplication table!
Judging from the bamboo slips, this is a compulsory course for children.
As more people joined in, the roads in the county were basically connected and paved.
Shen Hui'e achieved her goal, allowing the children to concentrate on their studies.

"Second sister-in-law, second sister-in-law." Liu Ding shouted loudly in front of the meat stall.
"Here it comes, here it comes." Shen Hui'e walked quickly to the gate, looked at the big wooden barrel on the wheelbarrow, and said with a bright smile on her face, "It's done."
"Alright!" Liu Ding patted the tub on the wheelbarrow and said with a smile, "This tub is big enough!"
"Big!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with her bright dark eyes.
This bathtub looks like it can seat two people without any problem.
"Uncle Liu." Da Chong and the others ran out and saluted.
"Be good!" Liu Ding said to them with gentle eyes.
"I also made a lid to prevent dirt from falling in." Liu Ding said happily.
"Aren't you afraid that the wind will blow it away?" Shen Hui'e said worriedly.
"No, it's fastened tightly!" Liu Ding opened the lid with the handrail and pointed at the two ends of the lid, "These two sides are stuck!" He closed it again and heard a click.
"Wow..." Shen Hui'e said in amazement, "You are such a good carpenter."
"Hehe..." Liu Ding blushed and smiled embarrassedly, "Really?"
"Yes, yes, everyone agrees." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her bright eyes and said.
Liu Ding chuckled and said, "It's not that you recognize me." He said soberly, "It's that you recognize this novel and comfortable seat."
"The water outlet below." Shen Hui'e asked with concern. This is the key.
"It can't be seen. I'll put it up later..." Before Liu Ding finished speaking, he heard someone shouting, "Brother Liu, Brother Liu!"
"Second sister-in-law, second sister-in-law."
When Shen Hui'e heard the sound, she looked over and saw four men carrying tree trunks as thick as bowls coming in front of them. They were all friends of Huang Zhongchang.
"It's you!" Shen Hui'e looked at them gently and asked, "Have you eaten everything?"
"We've eaten, we've eaten." The four people grinned.
"Second sister-in-law, take them in and see where the bathtub can be placed." Liu Ding said with a smile.
"Come with me! Backyard." Shen Hui'e led the way to the backyard.
"Uncle Liu, let me help you!" Cheng Donglai said to Liu Ding who was still holding the unicycle.
"No, no." Liu Ding put down the wheelbarrow, "I can carry it in by myself." He carried the bathtub on his shoulder easily.
"Be careful at the door?" Da Chong reminded carefully when he saw the situation.
"I know! Our gate is tall, so there's no need to lower it." Liu Ding had a relaxed smile on his face. He strode into the yard, walked straight to the backyard, and placed the bathtub in the middle of the yard.
"Let's set it up here. It's close to the sewer." Shen Hui'e said, pointing to where she was standing.
In the countryside, the land is vast and the population is sparse, so the houses and yards are large, so it is no problem to build a bathroom.
"This rafter?" Shen Hui'e asked with concern.
"Dig a hole and plant it underground so it will grow strong." Liu Ding smiled and said, "It won't work if you leave it alive on the ground."
"That's what I meant." Shen Hui'e nodded repeatedly when she heard this. They are thoughtful and reliable.
"Ah Si, let's get started!" Liu Ding said with a smile, rolling up his sleeves. "Second sister-in-law, you guys get busy! Come back and see after it's done. This place will be a mess soon."
"Okay!" Shen Hui'e nodded and smiled. "Come on, come on, son, help me move the long table and stools over here."
"Oh!" the big tiger said obediently after hearing this.
He and his mother moved the long table to the backyard and brought over a clay pot of hot water and coarse earthenware bowls.
Cheng Donglai and his friends brought two benches so that they could rest and drink some water when they were tired.
There was no time left to soak the soybeans and make tofu. Shen Hui'e pushed the wheelbarrow and the backpack and looked at Da Chong and the others and said, "You guys just watch here, or follow me to the river to catch fish."
"Let's watch here." The big tiger said immediately after hearing this.
Cheng Donglai said sensibly, "I'm going to go fishing with my aunt."
"What I want to say is, if you stay and watch, don't make trouble." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her bright eyes and said, "I can go fishing alone."
In the past, fishing would be an activity that the whole family would go fishing. But now that there are new things, fishing has been abandoned.
"Aunt, let's go with you." Cheng Donglai looked at her with his dark eyes and said.
"I can catch fish by myself, you guys stay here!" Shen Hui'e looked at them gently and said, "I'm leaving." She pushed the wheelbarrow out of the house.
Unlike in the past, I just put the backpack into the river and left it there, waiting for the fish to swim in by themselves.
Shen Hui'e now rolled up her trouser legs and went down to the river, using a harpoon to catch fish.
Huang Zhongchang is a very hardworking person and his house has all kinds of things.
As the weather got warmer, the river water was no longer cold at all, but rather very comfortable.
Ever since she started fishing and selling fish, there are more ways to eat fish, and it is no longer just a simple stew.
The people in the county have caught a lot of fish in this river, and they all use different tricks.
Some were casting nets, some were fishing, some were spearing fish, and some were not afraid of the cold and were diving into the water to catch fish.
But the number of fish did not decrease, God was kind to us.
Shen Hui'e stood in the river, holding a harpoon in her hand. She moved quickly, fiercely and accurately, and always caught the fish.
"Amazing!"
"Pig-killing lady, you are so awesome."
The children on the river bank said with envy in their eyes.
"Here you go!" Shen Hui'e took the rain off the harpoon and threw it onto the riverbank.
"Wow..." The child walked forward and held the fish which was not yet dead and was still struggling. "Thank you, butcher lady." He said very politely.
Shen Hui'e was never stingy with well-behaved and polite children. She threw more than ten fish to the shore in one breath, "Everyone who sees it gets a share!"
They stood on the shore holding the big fish and expressed their gratitude in unison.
Shen Hui'e looked at them with a smile on her face and said, "Go home quickly!" She watched them turn around and run away, then she took the harpoon and caught a few more fish, making a total of twenty.
Shen Hui'e went ashore, squatted by the river, and slaughtered and rinsed them directly, so as to avoid having to slaughter them at home and fill the yard with the smell of fish.
Shen Hui'e pushed the wheelbarrow back home and started to make fish balls.
Ding ding ding... He started chopping fish in front of the butcher stall on the street.
Hearing the sound of chopping meat, the neighbors came running out.
"We have fish to eat again today!"
"Sorry, sorry, this fish is for you! Not for takeout!"
"Ah!" The voice was full of loss.
Someone asked, "Who are you inviting? There are so many fish."
"Please come in, Master Liu Ding." Shen Hui'e said to them with a gentle smile.
"What did Master Liu do for you?"
"Bathtub!" Shen Hui'e's black eyes flashed when she heard it and she looked at them with a smile.
"Is it for bathing pigs?"
"No, no, it's for our own use." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her bright eyes and said, accompanied by the clanging sound of minced meat, she added, "It's different from the bathtub in our house."
"What's the difference? Aren't they all bathtubs?"
"My bathtub is set up." Shen Hui'e looked up at them mysteriously and said, "When it's done, you're welcome to come and visit."
"Set it up? How do you set it up?"
"You'll know when the time comes. I can't explain it clearly right now." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with a smile.
"That works."
"It's no use bathing in the river this summer. Why bother taking a bath in a tub?"
"The river is not convenient for women."
"If those stinky men dare to peek, just beat them up."
So fierce? Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows and looked at them.
"I don't need to take a bath every day, so why do I need a bathtub? It's very troublesome."
"Others may be able to do it, but I can't." Shen Hui'e looked at them with innocent eyes and said, "I'm a butcher. If I'm dirty, you'll feel uncomfortable buying meat." She stretched out her hand and turned the bamboo dragonfly above her head. It spun around and whooshed away the flies that were flying around.
"Haha... that's right, who doesn't like to be clean?"
"It's so dirty, it makes me uncomfortable just looking at it."
"This bamboo dragonfly is good at fanning."
"It's just that I have to move it manually all the time, which is very troublesome. It would be better if it could move by itself."
"It's impossible to think of such a beautiful thing."
"Who said that? The windmill that the kid is playing with won't move when the wind blows."
"This bamboo dragonfly is bigger and heavier than a windmill, but it can't be blown up."
"Alas... I can only do it manually."
"It's actually not that much trouble to do it manually, you just need to push it. If you use a big palm leaf fan and keep fanning, your hand will definitely break."
"Pig-killing lady, what are you thinking?"
"Our kids play too, why didn't you think of that?"
"Isn't this for everyone? I just want you to come and buy pork, and not be annoyed by these flies." Shen Hui'e said to them with a smile on her face.
These words made them feel soothed and relieved.
"Ever since you put up this bamboo dragonfly, we've started selling food in our county."
"That's good. Diseases come from the mouth, so this reduces the possibility of getting sick." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her dark eyes flashing with tiny lights.
"Hey! Butcher lady, you really don't sell this fish meat!"
"I'm sorry for today." Shen Hui'e looked at them apologetically and said, "I'll catch fish and sell them tomorrow."
"Forget it, let's go!"
Whoosh...the neighbors surrounding the stall dispersed all of a sudden.
After the fish meat was chopped into paste, Shen Hui'e started to boil water and make fish balls.
The big iron pot is convenient, and all the food can be cooked in one pot, but it is very demanding on hand speed.
Shen Hui'e can now skillfully grab the meat paste and make four meatballs, which are almost the same size and round and full!
Take the fish balls out of the pot and put them in cold water.
