Pig Killer

Chapter 54

"Hey!" Tie Feng patted the dirt on his hands and called the bricklayer. The three of them each took a coarse earthenware bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

Rolling up their sleeves, Tiefeng started working as a laborer for others, mixing mud. The two bricklayers were both experienced veterans who built houses for others, and making earthen stoves like this were their first-hand experience.

By mid-afternoon, it was completely built and coated with powder inside and out.

"Wow..." The big tiger walked around the earthen stove in amazement.

"Mother has built it right away." The cat slave grabbed her hand and looked at the earthen stove with eyes like black grapes and asked.

"It's done." Shen Hui'e looked at the stove with her dark eyes and said, "But it can't be used yet."

"Why?" Li Nu looked up at her anxiously and asked.

"Because it's still wet, it needs to be dried." Shen Hui'e looked at her with a smile in her bright eyes and said, "Now use your finger to poke a hole."

"Oh!" The raccoon nodded and asked, "When can it be dried?"

"When the mud turns into a yellowish brown color, it can be used." Shen Hui'e looked at her with a smile and said, "If there is sunlight, it will be ready in two or three days."

"That's great." The tiger said happily, "I thought I would have to wait for several days!"

"No!" Shen Hui'e pointed her index finger at the sun in the sky and looked at Tie Feng and the mason and asked, "How much?"

"You are our brother Feng's second sister. Is this price appropriate?"

Shen Hui'e looked at Tie Feng from the corner of her eyes, and when she saw him nod slightly, she said cheerfully, "Okay! I'll get the money for you right away."

Shen Hui'e took the money and some pig offal, "I earned this money through hard work. Thank you. This is for you to eat with your wine."

"Why is this so embarrassing?"

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, take it!" Tie Feng said with a smile upon seeing this.

"Thank you, Second Sister, Brother Feng." He went on to say, "If you have any questions, come to us. This is the first time I've built a stove like this, I don't know if it will work."

"Okay!" Shen Hui'e nodded with a smile.

"I'll take you there." Tie Feng sent them away and came back saying, "Second sister, remember to call us when you start firing!"

"Okay!" Shen Hui'e responded readily.

"This big iron pot is ready, but brother didn't show up. He kept urging me to come a few days ago." Shen Yun'e muttered, "I don't know why he suddenly went to the county? It's so far."

"I'll be back soon. When I get back, you'll know what I've been doing." Shen Hui'e smiled and looked at her with her clear eyes.

"You don't know either?" Shen Yun'e blinked and looked at her.

"It's probably about the toothbrush!" Shen Hui'e thought about it and said to her with clear and bright eyes.

"Toothbrush? What does it have to do with it?" Shen Yun'e looked at her in confusion and asked.

"I understand, doing business." Tie Feng said as he looked at her with a smile in his black eyes.

"Business?" Shen Yun'e's eyes lit up when she heard that, and suddenly she asked, "Can this make money? It's just such a small thing."

"Everyone needs it, and the effect is very good." Tie Feng said with a chuckle, "Your mouth won't stink so much anymore."

"This is very simple and you can make it yourself." Shen Yun'e looked at them thoughtfully and said.

Shen Hui'e's eyes flickered when she heard that. In the era of small peasant economy, people were self-sufficient. This toothbrush didn't require much technical skills. No matter how well it was made, you could make it at a glance.

Shen Hui'e looked at them with clear eyes and smiled, "The cost is not high, so we'll sell as many as we can. Who has a grudge against money? Of course, the more the better."

"Okay!" Shen Yun'e said with a smile, "We have to come back quickly, the spring plowing will start soon."

"He knows the time and won't miss the farming season." Shen Hui'e looked at her with her gentle eyes and said, looking at Tie Feng, "Brother-in-law, the benefits of this iron pot have come out. Your blacksmith shop's business is going to be prosperous."

Tie Feng's eyes narrowed into slits when he heard this. "I know." He bowed and said, "Thank you, second sister."

"Are there many iron lumps in your house?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with concern and asked.

"It's not much. I usually repair ironware and farm tools for people." Tie Feng said a little frustrated. How can he not be anxious when he thinks about it but cannot earn money?

"Then sell it to the wealthy families in the city. They have money." Shen Yun'e said straightforwardly.

"We'll talk about it later!" Tie Feng smiled when he heard it, looked at his wife and said, "Let's go!"

"Second sister, let's go." Shen Yun'e said to her with her beautiful almond-shaped eyes.

"Let's go!" Shen Hui'e watched them leave with a smile on her face.

"Let's go back to the house!" Shen Hui'e looked at them with her bright eyes and asked as they walked, "What do you want to eat? Are you hungry?" She was busy building the earthen stove and had no time to cook.

The earthen stove is shaped like an urn, round, chubby and quite cute.

"There's also some pig offal to make porridge." The big tiger said while slurping his saliva.

"Pork offal porridge! No problem." Shen Hui'e responded readily.

"Mother, the big iron pot can be used. What delicious food can you cook?" said the raccoon slave, looking at her with green eyes.

"What do you want to eat?" Shen Hui'e said, looking at them with eyes as gentle as jade.

"What is mother doing? What will we eat?" the big tiger said sweetly.

"There are so many delicious foods, guaranteed to make you swallow your tongue." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her crystal clear eyes and said. Looking at the spring chives planted in the yard that were ready to be eaten, her eyes lit up. Now we can make dumplings.

"Go and see if there is any flour at home?" Shen Hui'e asked them with her bright eyes.

"I'll go." The raccoon got up and ran to the big vat, opened the wooden board, and looked inside. "Yes, there is still half a vat!"

"Then let's make pasta." Shen Hui'e said to them with eyes as bright as stars.

"Is it made the same as the noodles and soup noodles in noodle shops?" Da Chong blinked his black eyes and said with some disappointment.

"No!" Shen Hui'e said as she stirred the pork porridge in the clay pot with a wooden spoon, "It's definitely different."

The pancakes and soup noodles made in noodle shops are actually noodles, but they are not called noodles now.

"Mom, why don't you tell me what delicious food you are going to make?" Da Chong asked out of sheer curiosity, staring at her with his black eyes without blinking.

"You don't know even if I tell you!" Shen Hui'e looked at him anxiously and said, "You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so wait patiently."

"What is tofu?" Li Nu asked her with his big, blinking eyes full of doubt.

"Food made from soybeans." Shen Hui'e looked at her with her glassy eyes and said, "Let's eat the delicious ones one by one. There's no rush."

"Mother, after dinner, are you going to the countryside to collect pigs?" The big tiger blinked and looked at her, then looked outside and saw that it was getting late.
