Chapter 203 The Lady is also a Butcher 1
"Bang bang bang-"
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, how are you? Open the door quickly."
Ming Huaixi found herself in this new world when she opened her eyes. She had stayed in her own world for a month before that, dealing with some things. When she opened her eyes, she found herself in a new world again.
After visiting these worlds, she gradually felt that she liked this feeling. She imagined each trip to a new world as a trip, or as playing a game. She felt completely relaxed, just like a paid vacation.
From memory, I learned that the person knocking on the door was the second younger brother of the original owner's husband, named Yunsheng, who was picked up by the original owner's husband from outside. The original owner's husband was a scholar.
His parents had passed away due to illness. He often went abroad to study and brought home three younger siblings. He died of a sudden illness last year.
The original owner's family was a small landlord with some assets, but she was the only daughter. Unfortunately, her biological mother died early, and her stepmother was in charge. She also had two younger brothers born to her stepmother, so naturally, she was not treated very well by the original wife's child.
The original owner's husband died, and her stepmother refused to let her go home on the grounds that there were unmarried girls in the clan, and secretly blocked Ming's father from helping his daughter.
The original owner was also angry. Her family didn't like her, and she didn't want to suffer in front of her natal family. Moreover, she had been getting along well with her husband's adopted brothers and sisters in recent years, so she was worried about them and kept them.
During the first two months of the original owner's widowhood, she was often harassed by nearby hooligans. Although the dowry she brought could last for a while, it was not a long-term solution without a way to make a living.
The original owner accidentally found out about the business of slaughtering pigs, and after some inquiries, he began his career as a pig slaughterer. Ever since the original owner was harassed while slaughtering pigs and he revealed his skills as a pig slaughterer, no one dared to harass him anymore.
The original owner finally had some peace and quiet. Now her husband had passed away for a year, and she had been killing pigs for more than half a year.
Yunsheng was still calling her outside. Ming Huaixi looked at the sky outside and saw that it was already bright. The original owner used to get up before dawn and then be accompanied by Yunsheng to the shop.
He didn't get up this time, so Yunsheng banged on the door anxiously.
"Squeak-"
"Second brother."
Ming Huaixi put on his clothes and quickly opened the door.
"Sister-in-law, are you okay?"
Yunsheng looked at her with concern. After a while, he didn't find that Ming Huaixi was feeling unwell.
Only then did he feel relieved and explained, "Sister-in-law, I waited outside for a long time today, but seeing that you didn't show up, I was afraid that something happened to you, so I broke the door."
Ming Huaixi imitated the original owner and said,
"I'm fine. Maybe I was too tired recently, so I overslept. Second brother, we won't eat today. Let's go to Mrs. Zhang's and buy some buns. You can bring some buns back home later. Third sister and fourth brother will also eat buns today."
"Okay, sister-in-law, let's go. We left a little late today, so we can come back later in the afternoon. There shouldn't be much left."
Yunsheng had no suspicion and just thought that Ming Huaixi was just too tired. He didn't think that she had become a different person.
"Mrs. Yoyun, you came late today. I saw many people coming to buy meat and they all left when they saw you were not here."
The auntie next to the pork stall saw Ming Huaixi coming over and greeted her enthusiastically.
"Aunt Wang, I've been selling a lot these past two days and I'm a little tired, so I got up late. Really, oh, I really regret it. How much money must I have lost?"
Aunt Wang is a person who likes to take advantage of others and is very talkative. She is the only tofu seller in this area, otherwise people would not want to get close to her.
But apart from her bad mouth, Aunt Wang is a very warm-hearted aunt. Everyone has some minor quirks, and as long as they are not serious problems, they will just get by with ease.
The original owner used to be a gentle person, but after he started killing pigs, he gradually became more aggressive and spoke in an awkward way, but there was no other meaning, and everyone around him knew it.
"Hahahahaha, you're going to lose a lot of money."
Aunt Wang herself has a problem with her mouth, but she never demands anything from others. She can reply to anyone's words, whether good or bad, black or white.
Ming Huaixi took his second brother back to his own stall, asked Yunsheng to buy buns, and went to the backyard to see the pigs that had just been delivered yesterday.
I did get up late today. In the past, the pigs would have been slaughtered and several kilograms would have been sold by this time.
But it’s okay, because she’s the only one selling pork on this street. After everything is cleaned up, those who want to eat pork today will have to come and buy some.
There are only two pork sellers in this small town. Besides hers, the other one is in another town. They specialize in supplying pork to wealthy families. They always have a certain amount of pork every day, so as long as they are not closed today, they will definitely be able to sell it.
It was a coincidence that this stall was opened. The original owner was looking for a suitable job at that time. Unexpectedly, the original owner, the Tian family, was planning to move to the capital to enjoy a better life because their son had made great achievements.
There was a dispute over who to give the stall to. The original owner happened to have saved Tian Li who had suddenly fallen ill, so the stall was sold to the original owner, including the person who supplied the pigs.
The original owner had been very strong since he was young, and was good at the job of slaughtering pigs. It only took half a year for him to go from being an unskilled butcher in the beginning to being able to cut every part of the pig with ease, with the red knife going in and the white knife coming out.
Ming Huaixi boiled water first. Killing a pig is easy, but scalding the pig's hair is a big job and needs to be prepared in advance.
"Sister-in-law, please eat first. I'll take the buns back to my third sister and fourth brother. You can wait for me to come back and start slaughtering the pig. I can help you."
Yunsheng handed two buns to Ming Huaixi and ran home.
Yunsheng is now twelve years old, his third sister Yun Qinglian is now seven years old, and his fourth brother Yun Haocheng is now six years old.
They were still young when Yun Fuyue picked them up. Yun Sheng was better as he could already remember things. Yun Qinglian and Yun Haocheng were both young when they were picked up and couldn't remember things. To them, Yun Fuyue was like an older brother and even more like a father.
The original owner had taken care of them for several years and treated them like his own children.
"Third sister, fourth brother, I'll give you some buns. If you're thirsty, go drink some water. I'm going to help my sister-in-law first."
Yunsheng hurried home, dropped the buns, and hurried back to the stall.
After Yunsheng left, Ming Huaixi ate buns and boiled water at the same time. He would be doing heavy work later, so how could he not eat enough?
After eating the buns, he boiled water and put the firewood back at the bottom of the pot to let it burn, maintaining the temperature. Then he walked towards the big pig with a sharp knife.
This was the first time for Ming Huaixi to kill a pig. It was a new profession, but Ming Huaixi had killed monsters in her previous world, so she thought this should be similar.
