Shen Hui'e mixed them evenly with her hands, and the meat filling was quite mushy and sticky.
Shen Hui'e suddenly gained confidence that the meat filling could remain intact when frying the balls.
Put lard into a large iron pot. When the oil is hot, Shen Hui'e grabs the meatballs and puts them into the pot.
After the sizzling sound, a rich aroma spread out.
"It's golden yellow." Li Nu pointed at the meatballs rolling in the iron pan.
"Come on, try it." Shen Hui'e took out the fried meatballs with a strainer, weighed them, drained the oil, and put them into a coarse earthenware bowl.
The meatballs didn't fall apart and remained together.
"Be careful of the burns!" Shen Hui'e said with amusement as she looked at them breathing heavily.
"Great, great." The raccoon looked at her with round, sparkling eyes and said, "It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, unlike the fish balls which are always tender and slippery."
"As long as it tastes good." Shen Hui'e looked at them with a smile on her face and said, "Oh!"
"What's wrong?" Da Chong looked at her with concern and asked.
"I forgot to put two eggs in the meat filling. It will be more crispy this way." Shen Hui'e said with some annoyance.
"Next time, next time." Li Nu said quickly after hearing this.
"Mrs. Pig Killer, what delicious food have you made?"
Neighbors flocked to the place attracted by the smell.
"Fried meatballs, the meat filling is similar to the dumpling filling, but this time it is fried in lard." Shen Hui'e squeezed the meatballs and said, "Da Chong, go get the bowls and chopsticks."
"Hey!" The tiger turned around and ran into the house. When it came back, it had a clay basin and a few pairs of chopsticks in its hands.
Shen Hui'e put the meatballs that had just been taken out of the oil pan into the clay pot, put the chopsticks in place, and said with a smile, "Please taste it."
"Why use chopsticks? Just twist one in your hand and try it."
"Be careful of the heat, it's just out of the pot." Shen Hui'e looked at them worriedly and warned them.
"It's okay. We have thick skin and flesh, so we're not afraid." One by one, they twisted the meatballs and put them into their mouths, their eyes lit up instantly, "Great."
"Madam butcher, you can't cook without lard!" someone noticed.
"The one cooked with lard and water is delicious." Shen Hui'e grabbed the meat paste and kept putting meatballs into the pan.
"Of course lard is delicious, full of flavor."
"The boiled water leaves no taste in your mouth."
"I'm tired of eating it after so many years."
“I didn’t expect lard to be so good.”
"There's just too little lard, and there's not much oil rendered from the fat."
"Pig-killing lady, do you need lard?"
"Of course not, soybean oil will work too!" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her bright eyes.
"Ah! I can't afford this soybean oil."
“I don’t even have an oil lamp at home.”
Shen Hui'e was helpless when she heard this, "Come on! Try what you haven't had yet!"
Everyone was not greedy, and after trying one, they left.
Meatballs are delicious, but what about the oil? Work hard to make money and buy oil.
"We still have one pound left. Let's try some today and fry them in the house tomorrow." Shen Hui'e looked at them with eyes as gentle as jade and said, "We'll have enough tomorrow."
The meatballs were fried and everyone had a bite. She also cooked some vegetable porridge. After they were full, she left the children at home and went to the countryside to collect pigs.
Shen Hui'e was walking on a small road in the country, looking at the wheat fields on both sides of the road. The wheat ears looked different every day, and she couldn't stop smiling!
Just love watching them thrive.
The changes in the castrated pigs are obvious. As the months go by, the weight changes of the piglets are clearly visible.
More and more people are raising pigs!
It can be imagined that next year when she slaughters pigs, she will not be so half-hearted.

"Madam Pig-killer, Madam Pig-killer." Qi said with particular enthusiasm when she saw her.
"You look so happy. Is there some good news?" Shen Hui'e said to her with a smile as beautiful as a flower.
"My pigs grow fat very fast." Qi said to her with a smile.
"How do you know? Is there any comparison?" Shen Hui'e asked her with raised eyebrows.
"There is no comparison. You will know if you go and take a look." Qi invited her warmly.
"Okay!" Shen Hui'e put down the wheelbarrow in her hand, followed Qi into her house, walked to the pigpen and looked over. "Huh..." She was shocked. It was really as fat as a pig. She stammered, "This...this, how did you feed it?"
This little pig is so fat that his belly is about to fall to the ground.
"I feed them like I usually do, but I feed them a few more times." Qi looked at her with a smile. "I've been feeding pigs for so many years, but I've never seen a piglet this big and this fat." She smiled and said, "Didn't you say that a horse won't grow fat if it doesn't eat grass at night?"
"Yes!" Shen Hui'e nodded with a smile.
"After being castrated, the pig really focused on eating and didn't think about anything else." Qi looked at her happily like a child and said, "I never thought that pigs could be raised so fat." She smiled and said, "As long as I bring the pig food over, knock the wooden spoon against the clay basin, and cluck... shout." Pointing to the piglets in the pigpen, "they will come running over."
"He really ran over here." Shen Hui'e looked at the piglet that was lying lazily on the ground, and ran to them as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
Once the pigs are well-trained, they will develop conditioned reflexes.
Qi said cheerfully, "It's better to make it fatter. Only when it's fatter can you make more lard."
"Haha..." Shen Hui'e looked at her with a smile, "The lard will be more fragrant now."
"Hmm! The fishy smell is much lighter now." Qi looked at her with bright eyes and said, "In the past, we couldn't stay in the backyard in weather like this. The smell was so strong! Feeding pigs was simply a torture." He smiled and said, "Now everyone is rushing to feed them." He said with gentle eyes, "Especially when I see the piglets eating so deliciously."
"That's good. Keep feeding it and you will definitely reach the goal of 100 kilograms by the end of the year." Shen Hui'e looked at her with a smile.
"I think it's more than that, definitely more than 100 kilograms." Qi said excitedly, "You killed my pig at the beginning of the year, but we raised it for two years and it only weighed about 100 kilograms."
"Maybe you're too full." Shen Hui'e put away the smile on her face and looked at her and said, "People feel uncomfortable if they eat too much."
She raises pigs in a scientific way, and this is the only way she has ever raised pigs.
"Uh..." Qi was stumped by the question. After a long pause, he said, "I have never been overfed."
"This..." Shen Hui'e looked at her with some distress and said, "I don't really understand either. I'm just trying to raise pigs. How did you raise them before?"
"I've never seen pigs so fat!" Qi looked at her with some embarrassment and said, "Then feed them less."
"What did you say?" Wang Su walked over and said with a bad look on his face.
"Dad, you're here just in time. If we feed the pigs like this, will they get too full?" Qi saw his eyes light up instantly, and then asked worriedly, "What if they get too full to death?"
Wang Su looked at her with a smile and said, "What are you really thinking? If you want to die of stuffiness, why wait until now? It's not like it grew so fat all of a sudden."
"That's right!" Qi let out a long sigh of relief.
"Besides, it doesn't matter if I die of fullness, I can just sell it." Wang Su said cheerfully, "I'm so fat anyway, I can make money anyway."
"That's good! We'll feed him this way in the future." Qi said with confidence.
"Look at you, you feed this pig every day, and you are still afraid of this." Wang Su looked at her with amusement.
"I've been feeding pigs for so many years, but I've never seen a pig blow up such a big bubble." Qi said nervously, "I'm a little scared."
"You are so timid, don't be afraid!" Wang Su said carelessly, "Even if they are bloated to death, it's nothing. It's rare to see them so fat. The difference between them and the pigs we raised before is too obvious." He looked at Shen Hui'e gratefully and said, "Thank you so much, pig butcher."
"You believe in me, so I have to thank you! No one has tried it before, you are the first." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her bright black eyes and said, "I don't know if it will work, but it is very risky."
“Haha…” Wang Su smiled innocently, “Let’s give it a try! There’s nothing to lose. This man…” He suddenly shut his mouth, looked at her awkwardly and said, “Anyway, the man is fine, and the pig will be fine too.”
Shen Hui'e tried her best to keep smiling and said, "You guys are busy! I'm leaving now."
"I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you." Qi said hurriedly, unable to suppress the smile in her voice.
Qi hurriedly sent the butcher out of the house, pulled her sleeves to cover her mouth, and laughed muffledly, "Haha..."
Men do care about this. Shen Hui'e lowered her head and shrugged her shoulders to laugh. She thought it was not good to laugh at other men. She took two deep breaths and said, "I'm leaving. You go ahead and do your work!"
"Hey!" Qi put down her arms, nodded with a smile on her face, and watched her leave.
After walking a long way, Shen Hui'e became happier and happier. She laughed so hard that she bent over. Only after she calmed down did she go to collect the pigs.
&*&
"I'm back." Shen Hui'e pushed the pig into the house.
"Mother!" The big tiger and the raccoon slave put down their pens and ran over.
"Go open the door of the pigpen and I'll put it in." Shen Hui'e pointed at the big black pig on the wheelbarrow with her chin.
"Hey!" The cat slave ran to the backyard and opened the door of the pigpen.
Shen Hui'e held the tightly tied pig's trotter in her hand, put the pig into the pigsty, and untied the hemp rope. "Take it easy for a night! I'll send you off tomorrow." She walked out of the pigsty and closed the door.
"I'm so happy that mother is back today." Li Nu looked at her with his big watery eyes and said.
"I went to your uncle Wang's house today." Shen Hui'e looked at them with a smile and said, "The piglets in his house are so fat that their bellies are almost touching the ground."
"Ah!" Da Chong looked at her in disbelief and asked, "Is it true or false?"
"I saw it with my own eyes. It was chubby and very cute." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with curved eyebrows.
"This pig is long and thin, but it doesn't have a fat belly." The big insect pointed at the big black pig in the pigpen and said, "The difference is too obvious!"
