He was betrayed at the beginning, from a cake seller to a wealthy person

Lu Yan planned to go back quickly and set off the next day. Before leaving, she asked Lu Sheng to ask for Lao Yu and Yu Yu. He Wenjing followed her all the time. Now there were three martial artists in the team, and Lao Wang and Lao Li instantly felt at ease.

It was quite eye-opening for Lao Wang and Lao Li to spend a day in Liaoyang. Lu Yan introduced to them: "If you want to see the real Liaozhou, you can't see it in Liaoyang County. There are too many traces of changes made by me and Magistrate Lu in Liaoyang County." , the most primitive Liaozhou is going north.”

Only by seeing the endless wilderness, the endless woods, the howling winds and the snow that covers the sky can one understand what the real Liaozhou looks like. That is what attracts Lu Yan the most.

These five Beidi merchants were not originally from the same tribe, but since they began to do business with the Dali people intermittently, they gradually moved away from their own tribe, built a yard not far from the Northern Frontier Army’s base, and lived on the border between the Beidi and Dali people.

The carriage traveled for ten days and finally arrived near home. Five people each got ten pigs, and they went their separate ways. Among the five merchants, there was one named Jin Shan. According to the arrangement agreed upon, several people went to Jin Shan's house first. Jin Shan settled them down, and Lao Wang and Lao Li killed Jin Shan's pigs first, and the other families came to take a look.

The carriage went directly to Jin Shan's house. Jin Shan's house was very large. In addition to properly housing Lu Yan and his party, a pig pen was built specifically for the ten pigs. In fact, not only the Jinshan family, but also these five families were like this. They were afraid that they would not serve these young ancestors from Youzhou well and spoil the good pork.

Lu Yan was exhausted from the long journey, so she took a thorough bath as usual and went to bed early. The next morning, she was called up to watch the pig being slaughtered.

People from the other four families came, and the cooks from each family were there, as well as many people who helped. Lao Wang and Lao Li went into the pig pen to catch the pigs. The pigs were so frightened that they fled in all directions and screamed at the same time. The scene was very chaotic. Two or three strong young men went to help. After several people surrounded him, they finally lassoed a pig and dragged it out despite its moans and howls.

The pigs had to be bled alive. Lu Yan told Lao Wang and Lao Li not to waste the pig blood on her. Lao Wang and Lao Li said it was okay, they all knew it, and turned around to go to the kitchen to get a big basin.

Several people tied the pig tightly to a bench and held it down. The pig was still struggling and howling wildly, making a meaningless death struggle. Lao Li was already sharpening his knife.

The butcher's knife was a long knife about 30 centimeters long and extremely sharp. The butcher stabbed the pig's neck with the knife, stabbing it diagonally, and the pig's blood spurted out. It was said that an experienced butcher could stab directly into the heart from the neck, but Lu Yan had never seen it, so she didn't know if it was true or not. As more and more blood flowed, the pig's struggle became weaker and weaker, and finally it slowly lost its strength and stopped howling.

In general, it is still quite bloody and cruel, but if you want pork to taste good, you can't not bleed it. Pork made by the humanitarian killing method is not tasty. Lu Yan firmly believes that unpalatable pork is the greatest disrespect to the ingredients.

Old Li came forward with a knife in hand. Lu Yan listened to the pig's shrill howling and could not help but turn her head away. She quickly walked out of the yard, not wanting to watch it anymore. She couldn't bear to watch this for the time being. She had never seen this part when she was slaughtering pigs in her hometown. When it came to her, the whole pig was already cut open.

He Wenjing has been following her. Seeing that Lu Yan couldn't bear to watch this part, she was a little surprised: "Isn't it right? Are you scared?"

Lu Yan shook her head: "I'm not afraid, I can't bear it."

He Wenjing was even more surprised: "You were so cruel when you cut the meat open, and you were so cruel when you put it in your mouth, but you were not so cruel when you killed it?"

"Isn't this normal? As the old saying goes, a gentleman is like an animal: when he sees it alive, he can't bear to see it die; when he hears its sound, he can't bear to eat its meat. So a gentleman stays far away from the kitchen." Lu Yan explained: "It is a kind of beast. Food, I know it is inevitable that it will be killed and eat meat, and I even raised it in order to kill it today, but it appeared in front of me in the form of a living life, and I couldn't bear to see it die. , This is the compassion that everyone has, and there is nothing we can’t understand.”

He Wenjing listened to Lu Yan's words and nodded thoughtfully: "You know a lot. The ancient sages also said a lot, and they even talked about killing pigs."

Lu Yan laughed and said: "The sage said this not to kill pigs. A gentleman's compassion is not just for animals."

He Wenjing was confused after what she heard. Just when she was about to ask another question, she heard Old Wang and Lao Li in the courtyard shouting: "Where's Miss Lu? Miss Lu!"

"Miss Lu! We've finished killing the pigs! Aren't you going to deal with the blood?"

When Lu Yan heard this, she became energetic and ran towards the courtyard while saying, "Come on, come on! Let me do it!"

He Wenjing: "???"
