Chapter 1351: Chapter 532: Lin Xu: Isn’t It Totally Normal for a Central Finance Graduate to Know How to Slaughter Pigs?

Lin Xu said:

"No need, I can handle it. As a chef, I must know how to slaughter pigs and sheep."

Shen Jiayue curiously leaned over to look at the large and deep wooden tub. She originally thought it was a bathtub, but it turned out to be used for pig slaughtering.

"Xu Bao, how is this tub used?"

Lin Xu said:

"It’s used for scalding pigs. First, you need to bleed the pig, then fill this tub with hot water and put the pig in for a scalding. Only then can you scrape the pig hair, clean it thoroughly, and open it up to remove the innards."

With the Pig Slaughtering Technique in hand, the whole process is already etched in the brain.

"So, can we eat pig slaughter dishes tomorrow?"

"Yes."

"I’ve never tasted pig slaughter dishes before. I tried them once in a restaurant and didn’t like the taste."

Lin Xu pinched the girl’s cheek:

"Pig slaughter dishes must be made with freshly slaughtered pork to taste good. If you delay, the taste will be greatly reduced. Probably the restaurant’s dish wasn’t good because they used leftovers. Tomorrow, I’ll make a feast for you to try, guaranteed to be delicious."

"Thank you, Xu Bao!"

At this moment, an aunt came out of the kitchen, carrying some snacks such as roasted sweet potatoes, wild chestnuts, and shelled peanuts, cooked on a coal stove:

"Little Xu, try some with your wife; these are freshly roasted, and these chestnuts and sweet potatoes are sweeter than honey."

The sweet potatoes, slowly roasted over a small fire on the coal stove, had both fragrance and sweetness. At places where the sweet potato skin cracked, there was honey-like juice seeping out.

Chen Meijuan said to Shen Jiayue:

"This is your aunt, say thank you quickly."

"Thank you, aunt."

"Oh, children from the big city are so polite, hurry up and eat. These sweet potatoes are our own crops, can’t be bought outside."

Shen Jiayue thanked her again, then picked up a sweet potato and peeled off its skin, taking a small bite.

As soon as it entered her mouth, she exclaimed to Lin Xu:

"This sweet potato tastes amazing, so sweet and fragrant, definitely not worse than the honey sweet potatoes we eat."

Lin Xu tried some; the taste was indeed wonderful.

While eating, a man in his fifties drove a farm tricycle into the yard, carrying six big, plump pigs.

This man is Chen Meijuan’s cousin Zhang Chunsheng, also Lin Xu’s uncle.

Zhang Chunsheng, with a cigarette in his mouth, drove the vehicle to a corner of the yard where a temporary pigsty had been built at some point.

He turned off the engine and called out to Lin Hongqi before getting off:

"Six pigs, each one weighing over three hundred pounds, priced a few bucks above the market price for live pigs. After all, these aren’t fed with fodder, their meat is fragrant and solid, unlike the pigs on the market that are penned in three months. Their meat is like adobe, not tasty at all."

Lin Hongqi said:

"Alright, this should be enough for the new year."

Lin Xu went over and handed Uncle Chunsheng a pack of cigarettes.

Zhang Chunsheng looked at it and immediately said:

"These cigarettes are too expensive, it’s a waste for me to smoke them. You better give them to someone else."

Lin Xu chuckled and stuffed them into his pocket:

"Don’t say it’s a waste, keep them. Later when the big truck arrives, I’ll give you a couple of boxes of cigars. My father-in-law heard you like cigars and specially brought a box."

Zhang Chunsheng didn’t refuse any further:

"My nephew has really accomplished something, so talented. Let’s take a photo together later. Last time I told people you were my nephew, those bastards didn’t believe it and said I was falsely claiming relations."

With the widespread use of smartphones, rural folks are no longer strangers to short videos.

Lin Xu’s videos went viral on multiple platforms, and these relatives at home watched every episode, having also learned how to donate Coins and like.

Zhang Chunsheng usually boasts and, seeing everyone in the village loves Lin Xu’s videos, he claimed Lin Xu as his nephew, but the villagers didn’t believe him.

That’s why today upon seeing Lin Xu, he wanted to take a photo to show those people.

Lin Xu didn’t expect his uncle, even at fifty, still loves to act smug and slap faces, so he chuckled and said:

"Let me take it, Uncle."

He took out his phone, opened his personal account on the short video app, chose a short video dynamic, and stood beside Zhang Chunsheng using the selfie mode, saying to the camera:

"Today I’m home for New Year’s, just arrived and met my uncle delivering pigs, six big fat pigs to be slaughtered tomorrow. Anyone who likes pig slaughter dishes, sign up, tomorrow there’ll be plenty!"

Zhang Chunsheng, presumably having watched many short videos, quickly threw away his cigarette butt during Lin Xu’s filming.

After Lin Xu finished, he promptly added:

"Little Xu is my major nephew, if you have Coins, donate a few Bitcoins; if not, give a like!"

Once the video was uploaded, Zhang Chunsheng used his phone to find it, then started sharing it everywhere. With each share, he happily declared:

"Which bastard dared to say I was falsely claiming relations last time? Open your damn eyes and look!"

Lin Xu put away his phone and curiously asked:

"Uncle Chunsheng, you know about Bitcoin?"

"I don’t, just heard you all say donate Coins and like; the Coins you ask people to give, is it Bitcoin?"

Lin Xu chuckled, thinking if everyone really donated Bitcoins, there would be no need to exhaust himself running a restaurant; just trading Bitcoin would lead to a wealthy life.

Zhang Chunsheng shared around, and soon received a bunch of drinking invitations.

Now the people working outside have returned, gathered together, either playing cards or drinking.

"I’m not drinking with you guys; my major nephew just came back today, I’m going to entertain him."

After replying to messages, Zhang Chunsheng called over Lin Xu’s uncle-in-law and others, together ushering the pigs from the vehicle into the pigsty, while explaining to the aunt and them:
