Chapter 597 Killing Pigs

Wang Xinxin stood in the distance, looking at Lin Ke's focused expression, a strange light flashed in her eyes.

She had never seen this side of Lin Ke before, serious, decisive, and full of manliness.

"Are you ready?" asked Uncle Liu.

"I'm ready." Lin Ke took a deep breath and nodded.

"Okay, do it!"

Lin Ke took the butcher knife handed to him by Uncle Liu, took a deep breath, and stabbed the pig's neck steadily.

"Pfft!"

Blood gushed out, staining Lin Ke's hands red.

When Wang Xinxin saw this scene, her stomach churned. She quickly covered her mouth and ran to the side to retch.

"Xinxin, what's wrong with you?" Seeing this, Li Na hurriedly followed and asked with concern.

"I... I'm fine..." Wang Xinxin waved her hands, her face a little pale.

"Are you feeling disgusted when you see pigs being slaughtered?" Li Na asked.

Wang Xinxin nodded and said, "Well, I have never seen such a bloody scene."

"Then you go over there and have a rest. I'll take care of you here." Li Na said.

"Well, thank you." Wang Xinxin looked at Li Na gratefully, turned and walked away.

She walked to the faucet, turned on the water, and kept washing her hands, trying to wash away the bloody smell on her hands.

However, no matter how she washed, she still felt a strong smell of blood on her hands that could not be shaken off.

"Young man, after killing this pig, you have to process it while it's still hot." Uncle Liu pointed to the fat pig that had been bled on the chopping board and said to Lin Ke with a smile, "Otherwise, when it gets cold, the meat won't taste good."

"Uncle Liu, I'm listening to what you say we should do." Lin Ke asked respectfully. He knew that in rural areas, experience is wealth, and an old farmer like Uncle Liu must know much more than a half-baked farmer like him.

"First, we have to shave the pig hair clean." Liu Bo said, picking up a shiny scraper from the side and handing it to Lin Ke, "This scraper needs to be scalded with hot water before it can be shaved cleanly."

"Let me boil some water." Lu Wenbin said hurriedly when he saw this.

"Okay, then go and boil some water." Uncle Liu nodded, and then said to Lin Ke, "When shaving the pig hair, you have to pay attention to the strength. It can't be too light or too heavy. If it's too light, it won't be clean, and if it's too heavy, it's easy to scratch the skin."

"I understand, Uncle Liu." Lin Ke took the scraper and carefully observed Uncle Liu's movements, afraid of missing any details.

"After scraping off the pig hair, you have to take out the internal organs." Uncle Liu continued, "This is also a technical job. You have to be careful not to rupture the intestines, otherwise it will not taste good."

"Let me help." Zhang Qiang also came over and said eagerly.

"Okay, then you come and help press the points." Uncle Liu nodded, then picked up a sharp knife and began to demonstrate how to remove the internal organs.

Following Liu Bo's instructions, Lin Ke and Zhang Qiang carefully took out the pig's internal organs and then rinsed them with clean water.

"Okay, the next step is to cut the pork." Liu Bo said, picking up a boning knife and began to skillfully cut the pork into pieces.

"Uncle Liu, your knife skills are amazing!" Lin Ke couldn't help but admire Uncle Liu's smooth knife skills.

"Haha, practice makes perfect." Uncle Liu said with a smile, "I've been killing pigs for decades. I can do it with my eyes closed."

"Uncle Liu, you are really amazing!" Zhang Qiang also echoed. Uncle Liu smiled, said nothing, and continued to cut the pork.

Lin Ke and Zhang Qiang helped by sorting and arranging the cut pork.

"Young men, thank you for your hard work. This meat is your reward." Uncle Liu handed a large piece of pork to Lin Ke and said with a smile.

"I don't feel comfortable doing this, Uncle Liu. We can't do much to help you." Lin Ke declined quickly.

"Take it, take it, just consider it as giving face to an old man like me." Uncle Liu stuffed the pork into Lin Ke's hand, not allowing him to refuse.

"Well, thank you, Uncle Liu." Seeing this, Lin Ke had no choice but to accept the pork, and then said gratefully, "Uncle Liu, thank you so much today for teaching us so many things."

"Haha, no need to thank me, no need to thank me. These are just rough country work, not worth mentioning." Uncle Liu waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Let's go back!" Lin Ke called everyone, carried a large piece of pork, and returned with a full load.

"This pork is so fresh and smells so good!" Lu Wenbin followed behind and took a deep breath, as if he could already smell the aroma of the braised pork.

"Of course, the pigs raised by Uncle Liu have great meat quality!" Zhang Qiang couldn't help but admire.

Back in the courtyard, the female guests couldn't wait to take a shower.

"I smell like pig all over. I can't stand it!" Li Na complained while fanning her nose.

"That's right. I'm going to take a hot bath and relax." Leng Tong also agreed.

"Go ahead, go ahead. I've already turned on the water heater." Lin Ke said with a smile, "We, the grown men, will be responsible for preparing the food. You can eat right after you finish taking a shower."

"Thank you for your hard work!" Wang Xinxin smiled sweetly, and then went upstairs with the other female guests.

"Let's get started!" Lin Ke looked at the piece of fresh pork on the chopping board and immediately became excited.

"Okay!" Lu Wenbin and Zhang Qiang also rolled up their sleeves and prepared to get to work.

Lin Ke first cleaned the pork, and then began to cut it skillfully.

He had great knife skills, and each cut was just right. He quickly cut the pork into even-sized pieces.

"Lin Ke, your knife skills are pretty good. It's a pity that you don't become a chef!" Lu Wenbin was dazzled as he watched from the side and couldn't help but admire him.

"Haha, it's just a trivial skill, not worth mentioning." Lin Ke said with a smile, "When I was at home, I often helped my mother cook, so my knife skills are pretty good."

"Great!" Lu Wenbin gave a thumbs up, full of admiration.

Lin Ke placed the cut pork on plates and began to prepare other ingredients.

Uncle Liu gave them a lot of fresh vegetables, including green peppers, potatoes, eggplants, beans, etc., enough for them to make a hearty lunch.

Lin Ke first cut the green pepper into shreds, cut the potatoes into cubes, cut the eggplant into strips, and broke the beans into sections, then washed them separately with clean water and set aside.

Next, he heated the oil in a pan, sautéed the onions, ginger and garlic, and then added the pork and stir-fried it.

The pork sizzles in the pot, and the aroma is so delicious that it makes your mouth water.

After the pork changes color, Lin Ke adds appropriate amounts of cooking wine, soy sauce, sugar and salt and continues to stir-fry evenly.

Then he added an appropriate amount of water, covered the pot, and simmered it over low heat.
