The pork butcher is smoother than a pig butcher!

Chapter 42: Meat-eating Controversy
No more, no less, just the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea (five minutes).

All the fat, lean meat, and bones were clearly separated.

The officials who watched the entire process of the "Pork Beauty" butchering the meat got goosebumps all over their bodies.

It was both terrifying and exhilarating!
I can't even imagine what would happen if that meat cleaver were used on a person!

Men who previously harbored romantic notions about pork beauties have all backed down.

I wish I could stay as far away from her as possible.

Only Zuo Wenkang looked at his wife with even more fervent eyes.

A woman who works diligently is the most beautiful!

I can't help but applaud her knife skills!
This craft would be a unique style even in a matriarchal society like Phoenix Dynasty.

They can even open their doors to apprentices!

Besides Zuo Wenkang, children are also unafraid of the pork butcher's knife skills.

It's not that they aren't afraid, it's that they can't afford to be.

All the children's eyes were fixed on the bright red flesh, unable to look away.

They were still gathered around the two large pots of boiling meat, clamoring for more.

Fatty was like a young rooster that had just learned to crow, proudly raising his little neck.

After shouting a few words along with his older siblings, he couldn't help but show off his amazing mother.

The children's voices chattered and sang, lively and cheerful.

not far away.

Lady Lü, who witnessed all of this, gritted her teeth in hatred.

She was the one who funded the purchase of the pigs!
How could they all treat a butcher like a treasure?

The lunch scene that Ms. Lü imagined was as follows:

Men, women, and children all rushed to eat the meat, and then said some flattering things to her.

The reality is somewhat strange:

The younger children, however, were so engrossed in eating that they couldn't even lift their heads.

The older children, who were already more sensible, didn't dare to put their chopsticks into the meat when they saw that their parents looked unwell.

The old man and the twenty women who were washing clothes and cooking quietly ate the steamed buns in their hands.

Zuo Wenkang and the others drank their rice porridge, their eyes fixed straight ahead.

It seemed that the millet porridge was even more delicious than meat broth.

Ironically, Zuo Wenxuan was actually holding a stewed pig's trotter that was so tender it was practically falling apart, and he was gnawing on it with great relish.

Lady Lü laughed in anger.

He raised his voice and said to the leader surnamed Huang:

"Uncle Huang, it seems some people don't appreciate my kindness! Since the adults don't like the meat I bought, their children shouldn't eat it either! How can one family eat two pots of rice?"

Starting tomorrow, we'll slaughter a pig every two weeks. If you don't eat it today, you won't get a single bite of meat from me in the future!

Her words were highly provocative.

The leader, surnamed Huang, also frowned and scolded the crowd: "If adults don't eat meat, then children shouldn't eat it either! I want to see how stubborn you all are!"

The little ones, who were just happily eating meat, were stopped after finishing only one piece.

What kind of rubbish are these adults doing?

Then the greedy child started lying on the ground, flailing his arms and legs, crying and screaming.

One child started it, and a whole bunch of children joined in the farce.

It just made the adults' heads buzz.

When his mother scooped the chubby boy into her arms, he whimpered and whimpered.

"Mom, why aren't we getting any meat? Didn't you kill the piglets? There's still so much meat in the pot."

Gan Minglan whispered in his ear:

"If you eat your fill now, you won't be able to eat rabbit meat tonight! Your mother buried two rabbits in the stove, and you can have all four legs, okay?"

Fatty immediately covered his mouth and asked in a low voice:
"Did I really eat rabbit meat? Mother, Mother, am I dreaming?"

"Really, it's true! Do you still remember the taste of roasted rabbit? Wasn't it fragrant and delicious! You've eaten it twice already, how can you still feel like you're dreaming?" The little guy was overjoyed.

Turn your head away and never look at those two pots of pork again.

Hmph, his aunt's pork stew is much worse than his maternal grandmother's.

The rabbit meat my mother roasted was even more delicious than the pork stew my grandmother made!

He doesn't want to be like those two- or three-year-old kids, rolling around on the ground.

It's so dirty!
Children who don't get to eat rabbit meat aren't as easy to coax as Fatty.

Some short-tempered mothers had already slapped their children on the bottom.

"Waaaaah, Mom, you're so mean! I want to eat meat! I want to eat meat!"

"Aaaaah! Hit me all you want, even if you kill me, I'm still going to eat meat today!"

"I don't want you as my mother anymore, I want the young mistress to be my mother."

The knife stabbed by one's own child pierces the heart, causing excruciating pain.

Lady Lü, however, burst into laughter:
"Look, look! For a bite of meat, your son is willing to abandon you, his own mother. What else is there for you to hold on to?"

Mu and the others elegantly gnawed on meat bones, while fanning the flames from the sidelines:
"The young mistress is still the most charming. If a few more pigs were slaughtered, her 240-month-old son would probably want to call her 'mother'."

"Hmph, we've all come from prison, so no one should look down on anyone else for being dirty! You can be reserved now, but once we get to the border town, you won't be able to make decisions for yourselves."

"Exactly, exactly! It's better to learn more manly methods, so that you don't end up not being able to win the favor of the soldiers when you enter the military camp."

"We've heard that there are rules even in the border army's red tents! The obedient and well-behaved ones can serve the generals, while those scoundrels are only fit to serve the common soldiers! One person can't stop for a whole night!"

Several women who had endured so much for the sake of their children were provoked by the sarcastic remarks of these women.

The anger in my heart was completely ignited.

They didn't want to face the question of where they would be sent once they arrived in the border town.

Anger and despair combined, I wanted to destroy the world.

He ran straight toward the women.

With lightning speed, he grabbed the other person's hair.

With a series of loud slaps, a large, forceful slap landed on his face.

This move was incredibly swift and decisive.

The person who was beaten and the onlookers were all stunned.

The officials were the first to react.

The Mu family and others are their cash cows.

If you scratch his face, how can you serve the men?
They quickly stepped forward and reached out to stop them.

The women, driven mad, used every ounce of their strength to cause chaos and mischief.

They can't just stand there and stop them.

Seeing that things were not going well, the officials panicked.

What started as a battle between a few women quickly escalated into a mixed-gender brawl.

The older women, not wanting their daughters-in-law to suffer, also rushed over.

Since they dared not attack government officials, they could only attack women.

The Mu family members were attacked from all sides, and their screams rose and fell.

The children, who had just been throwing a tantrum on the ground, were all frightened by the sight of the adults fighting.

They exchanged a glance and realized that no one was paying attention to them.

They had no choice but to obediently get up from the ground.

By this time, the war had reached its climax.

Her long hair flew through the air in clumps.
The leader surnamed Huang suddenly jumped up and shouted:

"Stop it, all of you! Stop it! Anyone who dares to lay a hand on her will go three days without food!"

This is a pretty big threat.

Depriving someone of food for three days is practically a way of starving them to death.
