Chapter 399: Chapter 397 Save Life! Someone is going to kill the pig_1

"No, no! Quickly get those horrible rats away, get them away!"

Jun Ruoxue’s heart pounded, she clung tightly to Su Pan’er, refusing to let go.

Lui Muyi rolled his eyes!

What’s the fuss? This is genuine delicacy! Once tasted, you’ll crave for it after every meal!

Besides this place, there are barely any places where you could find such plump bamboo rats!

"If Miss Jun is afraid of these bamboo rats, how about I carry them to the front?"

Zhou Ning stepped forward.

Having hunted in the mountains quite often, he was naturally unafraid of these bamboo rats. In his eyes, these meats are nothing but the gifts from the mountains, how could they be terrifying?

"Okay, okay, you, hurry up..."

Jun Ruoxue fervently wished someone to rid of these terrifying creatures at once, she nodded as fast as a pecking chicken.

Perhaps at this moment, she could never imagine how delicious it would be to have the meat of this creature, which was terrifying to her eyes, in her mouth!

By the time they descended the mountain, it was already getting late.

Zhou Ning, with the cage on his shoulder, was preparing to feast on them from a while ago.

The result was self-evident!

Upon arriving at a temporary resting location, Zhou Ning leaned in with a grin, "Pan’er, these bamboo rats are alive. If they starve for a couple more days, there might be a lot less meat left. Before leaving, Young Master Lui taught me how to roast this delicacy, so how about letting me take charge of the cooking tonight?"

Looking at that grinning face, Su Pan’er couldn’t help but shake her head, they were all foodies!

That evening, everyone enjoyed a big meal of juicy bamboo rat!

Zhou Ning moved swiftly. He skilfully seized the head of the bamboo rat, poured a small spoonful of hard liquor, and once they all had their turn, the first bamboo rat was already frothing at the mouth. He grabbed it, gently drew a small blade across its throat, blood spurting into a small bowl he had prepared beforehand.

Next, he used boiling water to scald off the hair, quickly removed it, then seared the tiny fur left on the skin with a bright flame, stopping only when the skin of the bamboo rat turned golden-yellow with hints of black char. After washing it clean, he gutted it, chopped into chunks and blanched in a pot of boiling water, then stir-fried in hot oil with dried oysters, wild mushrooms, spring onions and other ingredients.

It wasn’t until late into the night that he lifted the pot lid. The rich aroma attracted many eyes.

Seeing Zhou Ning deftly spooning out chunks of meat onto a makeshift table, Jun Ruoxue was the first one to dig in.

"Mmm, the meat is delicate and delicious, so tasty, so tasty..."

Of course it’s delicious!

This kind of natural bamboo rat meat, the taste was absolutely exquisite!

Su Pan’er knew that this bamboo rat meat not only promotes the growth of white blood cells and hair, but also enhances liver function, prevents atherosclerosis and has very good anti-aging effects. It’s a natural beauty and health food.

Everyone had their mouths full of oil from the feast.

The pot full of bamboo rat meat was quickly emptied by a few people.

After dinner, everyone sat back contentedly, digesting and picking their teeth.

Jun Ruoxue held her full stomach and kept exclaiming, "I never thought that such a terrifying creature could be so delicious. Sister Pan’er, do you know any other delicious creatures?"

"I do."

Su Pan’er squinted her eyes, lazily answering.

Her words immediately attracted nearly everyone’s gaze.

Jun Ruoxue quickly crawled over: "What kind of animal is it? Is it hard to find?"

"Not at all, really, not hard to find at all! In fact, they’re even dangling in front of us all the time!" Su Pan’er said seriously.

She also glanced at Uncle Xiao.

Uncle Xiao truly indulged himself in bamboo rat meat tonight. This mountainous, wild taste was just perfect for his palate. At his feet, the rascal pig was lying on his back, nearly bursting with all the delicious food it had eaten.

Upon learning this, Uncle Xiao momentarily stopped picking his teeth.

An inexplicable flashback to a legendary dish served among opulent mansions called "Two-footed Sheep" or "Vegetable People," struck Su Pan’er. Could it possibly be that dish?

Uncle Xiao’s face abruptly contorted into a bizarre expression, his body slightly trembling.

The surrounding people couldn’t help but gaze at him with curiosity.

Uncle Xiao looked incredibly dumbfounded, a look of fear cropping up as he met Su Pan’er’s eyes.

"Where on earth are your minds wandering off to?"

Su Pan’er couldn’t help but grimace slightly, rolling her eyes!

"There’s a huge pig lying right there, how could you overlook it? This rascal pig is called Bama pig. Its meat is fragrant and tender, far surpassing that of wild pigs or domestic pigs in taste!"

The rascal pig sleeping beside Uncle Xiao suddenly rolled over in alarm, its fan-like ears standing tall, eyes full of horror as it looked at Su Pan’er.

Su Pan’er smirked proudly: "This Bama pig has always been a breed exclusively used by the imperial family. Just as well to slaughter it for meat, so it stops irritating me with its daily prancing and refusal to listen to a word I say!"

"You wicked woman! How dare you plot all day to devour this noble pig! Watch me bite you to death! Argh..."

The rascal pig suddenly launched an attack, flying towards her with an open mouth, aiming to bite Su Pan’er’s hand.

But the Su Pan’er of today was no naive novice!

As the pig approached, she swiftly slapped it away, sending it flying onto the ground where it struggled to regain its footing.

"Scheming to bite me, huh? All the better! We’ll slaughter it today, ready to feast tomorrow!"

She threatened it.

Witnessing its imminent downfall, the rascal pig rolled its eyes in desperation, opened its mouth, and started squealing loudly and incessantly.

"Help! Somebody is planning to kill me! They’re plotting a pig murder! Somebody, help..."

And so, directly under someone’s feet appeared a rascal pig which was now rolling around on the ground, continuously squealing. This somebody was left completely embarrassed, helpless, and utterly speechless!

"Pfft!"

Jun Ruoxue could no longer hold back her laughter, covering her mouth as she chuckled.

With her breaking the silence, a fit of laughter spread among the crowd!

Indeed, it was a rascal pig!

However, having such an intelligent pig left them all speechless indeed!

Up in the sky, the moon sneakily hid among the clouds, while a few scattered stars twinkled playfully as if silently laughing at the scene unfolding below.

The next day, Su Pan’er officially reported for duty, embarking on her great endeavor of epidemic prevention and disaster relief.

Su Pan’er was mainly responsible for teaching the local doctors and those who came to learn how to cultivate cowpox.

At the same time, she emphasized to them that after learning how to administer the smallpox vaccine, they must strictly sign a life-risk contract with those being vaccinated to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Qin Yi was also assigned a task.

He was in charge of inspecting the river dikes and managing public safety.

This was always a much sought-after job. Even in these times, the laws of corvee labor service remained, with every three able-bodies required to pull one, or five to pull two. And so, all sorts of duties all had to be performed. Among these tasks, one of the hardest, most exhausting, and most risky ones—without any personal safety guarantees—were the river workers.

Of course, this was the kind of work that the impoverished common folk were most easily assigned to.

Those who wanted to avoid being river workers, or were seeking more relaxed work, would naturally do everything they could to evade such tasks.

That’s when the advantages of Qin Yi’s current assignment came to light.
