Wang Anfeng had not slaughtered a pig for a long time, but this time, he realized that his skills had not diminished at all, steady, accurate, and ruthless, straightforward and efficient.
Wang Hongyi watched with a sigh of lament, remarking, "Luckily Wang Anfeng went out to venture; otherwise, how could there be any days for me, Wang the butcher, to get by in Great Liang Village?"
Hearing this, Wang Anfeng merely smiled, his movements swift as he bled the pig.
He stayed at Wang Hongyi's house until the afternoon, had a dinner full of the flavor of Great Liang Village, and then got up to leave. As he was leaving, Wang Hongyi stuffed a large strip of pork belly into his hands, and Wang Anfeng simply expressed his thanks without refusal.
This time in Great Liang Village, he intended to stay for about a month, planning to leave only after the New Year's festival was completely over.
