We agreed to farm, why do you go to the palace every day?

Luo Yu and his friends came back with water celery. The pig was almost ready, and several uncles were already dividing the pork. Luo Yu only then knew that this village was called Yunhe Village. There were 32 households in the village, with only four surnames: Luo, Lin, Wang, and He. Luo Yu, who was living in this house, was from outside the village, and his surname was Fang.

Although there are not many households, the village is harmonious and helpful. Only a few are mean and stingy like the eldest branch of the Luo family. The village has a relatively flat terrain and is not far from the town. Other villages have to pass through them to get to the town.

Seeing that everything was almost ready, the head of the village stepped forward and said, "Luo Yu found this pig, so they should get more for the two sisters. I'll also leave the lard for Luo Yu. There are 32 households in our village, and this wild boar weighs nearly kilograms. Each family can get kilograms. Thanks to Yu girl, we can still eat meat before the New Year. Don't think that anyone gets more or less. It's enough as long as we get it."

The village head's wife pulled him aside and pointed at the water celery. The village head added, "There's still some water celery here. Let's take some and go back to add to the dishes. If you feel that you don't take enough this time, you can take more in the future when there's more in the village. See if there are any families who haven't come yet. Ask the neighbors next door to help deliver some too. After everyone takes the meat, we can go back and cook."

After the village head finished speaking, many people took their own pork and some water celery and could not wait to go back. This was ten catties of wild boar meat for free. Some families could not buy ten catties in a whole year, so they were already very satisfied.

Of course, there were also those who were not satisfied, such as Luo Yu's great aunt. She even felt that Luo Yu should not share with the villagers, as there were only two families, so they could take the majority. Now that they had divided the food, she only had ten kilograms, while Luo Yu had more than them, and she was very unhappy.

When the head of the village saw her, he said deliberately: "None of the men in your family came. I remember everything you did in the past two days. Luo Yu didn't care and still shared it with you. You'd better not think about Luo Yu's share."

After that, he took the meat and gave it to her, saying, "Go back quickly, I'm afraid you are bullying Luo Yu."

After hearing what the headman said, he originally thought that Luo Yu shouldn't get so much, and now he just wanted to take the meat home quickly, for fear that after a while, everyone would take their share back directly. He took the meat without saying anything, grabbed a handful of water celery and hurried home.

Luo Yu smiled. When she saw Lin just now, she knew that she was planning to take advantage of them. Fortunately, the head of the village found out and said it out loud. This made Luo Yu even happier and more grateful to the head of the village and his family.

The villagers took the meat and water celery and left one after another. The neighbors who didn't come also helped to take them back. Only Aunt Lin and the head of the village were left.

Aunt Lin took the meat and said to Luo Yu, "Yu girl, I'll ask Luo Luo to bring you some vegetable seeds tomorrow. I'll be going back today."

Luo Yu also smiled and said, "Okay, Auntie, I'll wait for Luo Luo to bring it to me tomorrow. You can go back quickly and cook meat for them."

Looking at the head of the village, he said, "Uncle head of the village, you guys can go back too. I can take it back by myself. You gave me so much, I am very grateful to you."

Originally, the village head and his wife were afraid that Luo Yu would be unhappy. After all, she was the one who discovered it, so it was reasonable for her to get more. After hearing her say this, the couple felt relieved.

The village head's wife said, "It's so heavy. Your village head uncle and I will carry it up to you. It will take you a long time to help by yourself."

After saying that, they were ready to move. Seeing that the internal organs were still by the river, Luo Yu asked, "Aunt, no one wants those internal organs? Can you give them to me?"

When the village head heard her say she wanted offal, he asked, "Everyone in the village thinks it's troublesome and can't be cleaned. Will you be able to do it if you stay?"

Luo Yu replied: "Yes, I can make delicious food."

The head of the village smiled and said, "Then you can stay. We will take the meat back for you and you can deal with the internal organs later."

Luo Yu had just put the water celery back. The village head should have left her nearly twenty pounds of pork. She wanted to take some more, but Luo Yu quickly stopped her and said, "Uncle village head, these are enough for me. I have troubled you and aunt enough today. You can take the rest."

Luo Yu refused again and again, so the couple had to give up and helped her carry the rest and went back. After putting the meat away, the village head and his men were also ready to go back, as they still had to cook meat in the evening. Luo Yu also asked them to go back quickly, followed them out, and watched them take away the remaining meat and water celery before saying goodbye to them.

The village head's wife wanted to give her some more, but Luo Yu let them take it home.

After everyone left, Luo Yu looked at the place where the pigs were slaughtered. They had all been processed, leaving only a little bloody smell. Luo Yu saw that the internal organs had not been processed, so he took Luo Ci home, took a basket, a wooden basin and coarse salt, and gave Luo Ci a steamed bun, fearing that she was hungry. She quickly cleaned the internal organs, otherwise they would go bad if left until tomorrow.

Arriving at the river, Luo Yu quickly cleaned the internal organs as he saw Luo Ci sitting quietly by the side. The pig liver and lungs were easy to wash, so Luo Yu added coarse salt and rubbed them for a while, then washed them in water and put them in the basket.

The main reason is that the pig intestine is not easy to clean, so Luo Yu first rubbed it with coarse salt, washed it with clean water, added flour, and rubbed it a few more times. After cleaning it, he took it home.

When she got home, it was almost dark. Luo Yu put away the internal organs, cooked the rice quickly, washed some cabbage, and then cut the meat. She could eat meat tonight, which she had been looking forward to for several days.

There was only one stove. Luo Yu cooked the rice and cut the meat. She put the rice aside to warm it up. She put lard in the pot and started frying the meat. It was done in a short while. She didn't have time to cook the water celery. She scooped out the boiled cabbage and put it on the table. The two sisters started to eat.

After dinner, it was completely dark. She couldn't see the dishes even if she wanted to wash them first. Luo Yu had no choice but to go back to the house and light the kerosene lamp. After boiling water and washing the dishes, Luo Yu also washed Luo Ci and prepared to coax her to sleep before she came out to do some work.

Luo Ci didn't want to sleep and decided to follow her sister. She had no choice but to let her sit in the kitchen and accompany her. The weather was not very cold recently, and she had to refine the oil tonight. She didn't know if it would go bad tomorrow. Such precious lard, she couldn't bear to let it go bad.

Cut the lard into small pieces, boil it over medium-low heat, stir it in the pot with a spatula, and after it boils, Luo Yu changes to high heat and boils it for another five minutes, then switches to low heat and refines it for about twenty minutes. When the oil becomes clear, pick out the firewood from the stove, leaving only some charcoal, and burn it over the lowest heat. There will be basically no water vapor rising, the oil will be particularly clear, and the oil residue will be slightly yellow. Then scoop out the oil and let it cool slowly.

Luo Yu finished refining lard, and Luo Ci smelled the aroma of lard and felt a little greedy. Luo Yu picked up a few pieces of lard residue with some lean meat and put them in a bowl for her to eat.
