"Fatty, everything's clean now. What next?" Luo Fengtang paused his knife and turned to ask Yang Ruqing.

"Fatty?"

Seeing the young girl in front of him staring straight at his face, Luofengtang felt a little uncomfortable.

Am I covered in dirt?

Thinking this way, he unconsciously raised his hand and touched his face.

Now that's better, the originally clean face is now stained with a bright red splash of roe deer blood, it really is quite comical.

Yang Ruqing came to her senses and couldn't help but laugh out loud, pointing at Luofengtang's face: "Tang YaZi, what's the matter? Did you also learn from those women in town to apply rouge?"

>

Luo Fengtang was incredibly embarrassed.

Yang Ruqing saw that it was time to stop, so she stopped teasing him. She put away her smile and glanced at the roe deer on the ground.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

The roe deer's pelt had been removed, its entrails emptied, and steam rose from its open chest cavity.

"Tang YaZi, you'll take care of cleaning out the entrails of the roe deer next."

This tag doesn't contain any text.

Yang Ruqing commanded, rolling up her own sleeves.

"Eh!" Luofengtang nodded in response.

“Give me your knife!” Yang Ruqing said again.

“OK! Uh? What did you say?”

Luo Fengtang was taken aback.

"What are you going to do with this knife?"

“Of course it’s stripping the meat off the bones, you fool!”

"That won't work, this knife is heavy, besides, will you even know how to use it?" Luofengtang shook his head like a rattle: "Just tell me how to cut it later, I'll handle it!"

“Stop being so fussy, a man who fusses too much becomes effeminate!” Yang Ruqing didn't bother to explain and directly took the knife from Luo Fengtang’s hand.

Well now, that's quite heavy, isn't it?

But, sis isn't a vegetarian.

After deftly rotating her wrist, Yang Ruqing heard a faint click from the joint. She shot Luofengtang a cool glance, pressed her hand against the deer carcass, and with a flick of her wrist...

The first cut severed the roe deer's neck.

The roe deer’s blood splattered out, startling the passersby to jump and move aside.

Luo Fengtang also twitched the corner of his mouth, looking at the unflappable Fatty girl, thinking to himself that this little girl was really extraordinary!

He squatted beside her, cleaning the deer's entrails, occasionally glancing up to watch how Yang Ruoqing skillfully sliced and boned the meat.

Only Yang Ruqing gestured with the knife in her hand. She didn't rush to chop it down, but instead used the blade to draw different shapes on the roe deer's body.

Front legs, hind legs, back and belly, base...

Luo Fengtang couldn't help but think of the generals he had heard about in teahouses, commanding thousands upon thousands of troops and drawing vast territories on huge sheets of cowhide.

Encircle each city and prepare for battle.

The more Luofeng Tang looked at Panya, the more he felt she resembled a female general, marching and arranging troops.

And her domain was the whole hare that lay on the ground!

Luo Fengtang's eyes flickered with a bright light, and several times the wild boar intestines in his hands slipped to the ground.

He hurriedly lowered his head to pick it up. When he looked up again, he was completely stunned.

Patty was already brandishing her sword, that heavy blade in her hand seemed to come alive.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

After a flurry of chopping, slicing, dicing, and mincing, the roe deer was expertly butchered into eight pieces and neatly arranged on the ground.

"Fatty, this is... amazing, Fatty!"

Luo Fengtang pointed at the piles of roe deer meat on the ground and immediately saw through the trick.

Patty carefully distinguished the meat on the roe deer's body according to the roe deer's daily habits.

Its limbs often bounced, the flesh was nearly all lean and very firm and elastic.

The meat in the abdomen has a relatively higher proportion of fat.

Other parts of the body, due to their different functions, have variations in fat content, meat texture, and taste.

To be able to do this, and distinguish it so clearly, I'm afraid even someone who had been a butcher for half their life wouldn't necessarily be able to cut it this perfectly.

Luo Fengtang could understand it because he had been hunting in the mountains since he was a child. He had fought with wild beasts countless times, and these life-and-death struggles forced him to learn every part of their bodies!

"Fatty, I have to say, you're incredibly skilled! I surrender!"

Luo Fengtang gave Yang Ruqing a thumbs-up, his eyes shining brightly.

"But, you're just a little girl from home, how do you know these things?" he immediately asked.

Look at her swordsmanship just now, it was so skilled and swift, not even a trace of hesitation. Even those butchers who have been slaughtering pigs and cattle their whole lives in the Wasi market probably couldn't compare!

"Hehehe, this is my secret, you're too curious for me to tell. Unless you become my disciple!"

Yang Ruqing said with a smile.

"You silly boy, your older sister won't tell you that. Your older sister is familiar with more than just the structure of a roe deer's body."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Sister is more familiar with the human body...

"Phatya, are you serious?" Luofeng Tang seemed to be serious now, excitedly staring at Yang Ruohuang.

Yang Ruqing was stunned, "What?"

"If I sincerely worship you as my master, would you truly teach me your skills?" Luo Fengtang asked.

"My skills, you really want to learn? I'm afraid you'll be so scared you wet your pants, kid!" Yang Ruqing said teasingly.

>

Urine pants?

Luofeng Tang's face was actually red this time!

Awkward, embarrassed, and a little ashamed.

At sixteen years old, he was being teased by a little girl.

"Alright, let's not talk about becoming master and apprentice for now. Let's do some business first!" Yang Ruqing changed the subject.

Pointing to the pile of neatly stacked venison on the ground, he asked Luofengtang, “What price were you planning to sell it for?”

Luo Fengtang's face was still flushed, and he mumbled, "This roe deer weighs seventy pounds, skin and fur included. Pork costs fifteen wen per pound, so I plan to sell it for eighteen wen."

Yang Ruqing thought for a moment and said, “Let's try selling in a different way now.”

"How much are you selling it for? Speak up!"

“I cut the roe deer meat into three grades: high, medium, and low, according to the parts, texture, and taste,” Yang Ruqing said.

Starting from the pile of meat on the left, he pointed and said, "That's the meat connecting the abdomen to the ribs, it has the best texture and is considered high-grade. There are a total of twenty catties, at thirty-five wen per catty. The second type is the hind leg base, twenty catties, priced at twenty wen per catty. The third type is the piece from the front limb, weighing ten catties, at eighteen wen per catty."

"Have you finished tidying up all those internal organs?"

"All set, weighed and ready. Eight catties," Luo Fengtang replied.

"Eight jin, is that right? Then it's six cash per jin," Yang Ruqing said, quickly calculating in her mind. "According to your previous plan, a seventy jin deer would be eighteen cash per jin, selling for one thousand two hundred and sixty cash. With my method, this deer could sell for a total of one thousand three hundred and twenty-eight cash. That's sixty-eight more cash than before!"

Luo Fengtang's eyes lit up immediately. He had earned an extra sixty-eight wen! That was enough for his uncle's two prescriptions!

Seeing the hot steam rising from the bucket of roe deer blood beside Yang Ruqing's feet, Luo Fengtang asked: "What are you going to do with this blood?"

Yang Ruqing also glanced at the deer blood, blinked her eyes, and said with a smile: "Well, keep it a secret for now. You'll find out soon enough."

"Okay, I'll wait!" Luo Fengtang said. "So what should we do next?"

“Of course I hawked it,” Yang Ruoheng said, “How can you do business without hawking?”

“I… I can’t bear to lose face…”

“Everything is difficult at the beginning, I'll go first. You watch how I yell, learn from me, kid!” Yang Ruoqing said, then coughed once, covering her mouth with both hands in a trumpet shape, and began to shout.

"Hey"

"Good day to all passersby, gentlemen and ladies! The freshest venison from Qingshui Town is freshly available! It's delicious, nutritious, and reasonably priced. Come buy some, come have a look!"
