Grandma Su slapped her thigh, isn't that right!
This wild boar doesn't have a single scratch on it; did it die in its sleep?
"Ruan Bao, can you still hide it?"
Su Xiaoruan nodded, "Yeah."
"Then hide it for now, and let your dad stab it a couple of times later."
Not right now, it's all bloody, and it might scare her precious granddaughter.
"Okay, I'll put it away first."
Before her words even fell, the huge wild boar vanished.
Su Jianye stared, searching the ground for a long time—it was just gone?
His massive wild boar, gone just like that?
Su Jianye's reaction greatly amused the grandmother and granddaughter duo.
After dinner, Su Jianye ran an errand to the State-run Restaurant in town and returned shortly after.
Su Xiaoruan lay on the heated brick bed, thinking about whether she could try using her knife on the wild boar inside her Space; besides the smell of blood, there seemed to be no other drawbacks.
She decided to act immediately.
Su Xiaoruan had only just learned to control things in the Supermarket with her consciousness, and she wasn't very proficient yet.
Previously, she only handled bringing things in and out, but this time she needed to control her consciousness to make a few cuts on the wild boar.
Su Xiaoruan first went to the kitchenware section to grab a fruit knife, and then tried to control the fruit knife.
It went smoothly!
She didn't feel dizzy or bloated at all.
Su Xiaoruan was very happy; did this mean her ability had improved?
Around four in the morning, Su Jianye came to wake Su Xiaoruan up.
It was fortunate that she slept in the same room as Grandma Su; otherwise, it would have been inconvenient for Su Jianye to wake her.
The father and daughter walked along the small country path and soon circled around to the foot of the mountain behind them.
This place was a narrow, winding path, and indeed, hardly anyone came here normally.
The chef from the State-run Restaurant arrived on a motorcycle with a sidecar; he had to use connections to borrow it. Forget the Common People, even ordinary Work units rarely possessed such a motorcycle.
Upon arriving at the location, Su Jianye asked his daughter to bring out the wild boar.
He himself was holding a sickle, planning to stab it a few times first to cover things up.
Unexpectedly, when he looked, the wild boar already had wounds on its neck and belly, and they didn't look recent.
"Ruan Bao?"
"Oh, I did it."
Su Jianye blinked, feeling that his daughter's ability was perhaps too great.
"Dad, what time did you arrange to meet them?"
Su Jianye had a Watch on his wrist, which Eldest Brother had mailed to him a few years ago.
Glancing at it under the faint light, he said, "Almost time."
Sure enough, after waiting another three to five minutes, they heard the sound of a motorcycle.
The chef was a chubby uncle, and one look told you his Food situation was good.
"Little brother, how is it?"
"He's here, over here. Take a look at the goods first."
The chubby chef glanced over, "Oh, it's quite big! This probably weighs around two hundred fifty or sixty catties, right?"
"Did you bring a scale?"
"I did. Come on, let's weigh it first."
Su Xiaoruan stood to the side holding the Kerosene Lamp, watching.
The wild boar ultimately weighed in at two hundred sixty-eight catties and five taels.
This chubby chef was quite straightforward.
"Ordinary Pork on the market is sixty cents a catty, Pork Belly is seventy cents, pure fat is eighty cents, but all require Tickets. Yours is considered Wild Game, should we use this price? Or no tickets, but a slightly higher price?"
Su Jianye thought for a moment, "We want some Grain Tickets and Sugar Tickets."
"Deal, no problem."
The chubby chef had also come prepared, signaling a young man he brought along to lift the wild boar into the sidecar.
"In that case, since this includes the skin and bones, but this pig is really fat, I'll buy it from you for forty cents a catty. As for tickets, I can gather fifty catties of Grain Tickets and three catties of Sugar Tickets. How does that sound?"
Su Xiaoruan didn't understand this very well and subconsciously looked toward her father.
Su Jianye felt this price wasn't low, considering they still had to skin and debone it.
"Deal."
Su Xiaoruan chirped sweetly, "Uncle, could you leave the Pig Offal for our family?"
The chubby chef laughed; in those days, nobody wanted Pig Offal. It was very cheap, and the main thing was that the stuff was fishy and smelly, usually just thrown away.
"Fine, I'll be slaughtering a pig at the restaurant tomorrow. I'll set aside the Pig Offal for you; you can come pick it up tomorrow."
"Thank you, Uncle."
The two parties reached an agreement and headed back.
On the way back, Su Jianye asked.
"Ruan Bao, Pig Offal doesn't taste good; what do you want it for?"
"Don't worry, Dad. Remember to bring all the Pig Offal back tomorrow, and watch me show you something special then."
Su Jianye looked at her proud little expression and couldn't help but smile.
"Alright, Dad will wait to eat delicious food tomorrow."
Grandma Su didn't know how to cook Pig Offal. Her family background was privileged when she was young, so she had never eaten such things, let alone prepared them.
After Lunch, Su Xiaoruan directed Su Xiangdong and Zhao Yingzi to wash these Things.
To be honest, when the Things were first brought back, they were indeed smelly and fishy—too unpleasant.
Pig Offal generally refers to the pig's internal organs: liver, stomach, lungs, large intestine, small intestine. If prepared well, this stuff can be superb.
But the problem was that in the Countryside, people usually just stir-fried or boiled Meat dishes; how many knew how to make grand dishes like Stir-fried Fatty Intestine?
Su Xiaoruan was only relying on the Seasonings she had in her Space; otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to ask for these.
As soon as they left for Go to work, Su Xiaoruan started boiling water and preparing the braising liquid.
The braising spice packets were ready-made, just needing to be put into the pot. However, before that, she still needed to prepare things like scallions and ginger, and then stir-fry them in hot oil.
Sister Su helped her Stoking the fire, occasionally watching how her clever granddaughter was doing it.
"Ruan Bao, there's another piece of intestine there, aren't you going to put it in?"
"No, that will be used for Stir-fried Fatty Intestine later."
As Su Xiaoruan spoke, she also Cooked about twenty Eggs, which greatly distressed Grandma Su.
Even with Old Man looking out for them, they couldn't eat this richly every day!
Su Xiaoruan used Eggs from her Space; she cooked twenty-five.
Eggs cook quickly. Then, she took them out, cooled them in water, tapped them gently, and with a roll in her hand, the shells peeled off easily.
After adjusting the flavor of the braising liquid one more time, she added the Cooked Eggs.
This large pot would be enough for them to eat for several meals.
After finishing this, Su Xiaoruan prepared to steam Rice.
With Braised dishes, it was best to eat White Rice, so she mixed some brown rice into the Rice and steamed it together.
When people got off work in the Afternoon, a rich aroma could be smelled from far away.
Some people, upon entering the Village, started sniffing around, muttering curses under their breath.
"Damn it, whose house is cooking something delicious again? Just smelling it makes me feel like I could eat three bowls of Rice!"
