Chapter 329: Chapter 0329: Killing the Pig and Dividing the Meat 1_1

Upon seeing the meat, the children were overjoyed, tightly covering their mouths to stifle any excited shrieks from escaping.

Lu Tianjun and Guan Cheng didn’t need Feng Qingxue to lift a finger. They quickly boiled a pot of hot water, cleaning the beef and beef leg bones separately. The beef was divided into seven or eight pieces, and the beef leg bone was chopped into three sections using an axe.

The two children lit the stove and stewed the beef and bones through the night.

After a rapid boil to skim away the foam, the pot was allowed to simmer on low heat. The rich aroma was irresistible, but there were no passersby outside to notice.

"Tomorrow morning, there will be soup and meat for breakfast." Feng Qingxue ushered the children off to bed, and stayed up watching the fire herself. While keeping vigilant, she studied the works of Lin Qiaozhi.

She had recently been tidying up her collection of books in her personal storage and had found all of Lin Qiaozhi’s works, a pleasant surprise.

When she was collecting books from all sorts of topics, many of them she hadn’t had the chance to read, so she just bought them all and stored them in her personal space.

Lin Qiaozhi was a pioneering obstetrician-gynecologist in her country, a scientist. Her works contained her experiences, her research results, and more. To the present Feng Qingxue, they were of great significance for learning.

Because she often dealt with mothers-to-be and newborn babies.

She rubbed her tired eyes after an intense study session, glanced at the clock, it was ten o’clock.

She put out the fire, placed an upside-down basin over the pot lid to weigh it down, washed her hands and face, soaked her feet, had a bowl of rock sugar bird’s nest that she had stewed and stored in her personal space, brushed her teeth, tidied up, and was in bed asleep by half-past ten. She woke up at six in the morning.

Ample sleep and a rich diet kept her in excellent spirits.

Good spirits, good skin. Her complexion was radiant, fair with an undercurrent of pink.

Before dawn broke, while the children were still fast asleep, Feng Qingxue silently got out of bed to wash up, drink water, cook. In the midst of cooking, she made a point to have a cup of hot milk, a handful of red dates, walnuts, and some fruits.

The soup in the pot had coagulated and surfaced a layer of white oil, sealing the soup below.

Feng Qingxue broke the seal of oil, took out the bones and meat and placed them separately into a dish. The soup in the pot was plentiful, so she took a piece of meat out of the dish, placed it on the chopping board, and ladled out half of the soup from the pot into the dish.

The leftover soup was boiled again until the family woke up. Hand-rolled black noodles, finely diced scallions, and cabbage leaves were then added in.

Just when the noodles were almost done, sliced beef was added. The tantalizing beef noodles were now ready.

Anticipating meat to feast on, the children woke up half an hour earlier than usual. Upon washing up and brushing their teeth, each person, bowl in hand, showed up at the kitchen, staring eagerly at the piping hot pot.

Every member of the family, young and old, had a large bowl of noodles with soup, while Feng Qingxue only had a bowl of soup.

Heat from the beef invigorated the body in the cold winter, and just one bowl of soup warmed everyone right up.

Later, Feng Qingxue heard from Wang Jiao that several families also stewed meat soup at night, secretly enjoying it before other households woke up or after they had gone to bed at night, hiding in the daytime for fear that the scent would waft to their neighbors and they would be reported for indulgence to the authorities.

The beef bone was hardy to stew, the first brew would be milky white soup with a remaining aroma, subsequent ones would just be clear broth.

At that moment, Wang Zhengguo declared a pig slaughter!

The announcement sent the entire production team into a frenzy.

Slaughter the pig, and there will be meat to eat!

Many households hadn’t tasted meat for years, only the strong laborers who attended the wedding ceremonies of Lu Jiang and Wang Jiao managed to have some.

Therefore, upon hearing the news of the pig slaughter, men, women, old, and young all volunteered to assist.
