The Ultimate Reborn Heiress (Scarlett) novel Chapter 98

r 98 Feast in the Countryside

But Scarlett was still just using a small knife; with a flick of her wrist, the pig’s bones snapped apart.

Next came the four hooves.

Then she separated the belly meat into two slabs, and carefully removed the ribs in straight rows, cutting everything into pieces of varying sizes as needed.

It was like watching a master butcher at work.

Victor couldn’t help but touch his own head, eyes darting repeatedly between the neatly cut meat and Scarlett.

[Hahaha, look at the old man’s expression, this is hilarious.]

[The old man was like, ‘Oh no, my brain’s catching up too fast.‘]

[Has Scarlett really never killed or butchered anything before? She just used a small knife to completely break down an entire pig. Honestly, it looks more like she’s dismantling it than anything else.]

[Watching this is strangely satisfying. Why is that?]

[I agree, it’s relaxing. And watching it, it feels like killing a pig is no big deal–so simple.]

[My brain says it’s easy, but my hands say, yeah, right!]

[Why can a celebrity kill a pig so smoothly?]

Ethel, having just finished her chores inside, came out, smiling. “Miss, how is it going? I told you slaughtering a pig is…”

Before she could finish, she saw the bins of neatly cut meat, the blood, and the organs laid out in the yard.

“What… Miss, you’re already done?”

Ethel couldn’t help but touch her head too. It hadn’t even been 10 minutes since she finished boiling water.

Scarlett put down the knife and looked up, smiling. “Yes, Ma’am. All done. Take a look. Do you want me to cut the pieces smaller?”

“No, no need.”

Ethel glanced at Scarlett again.

The girl looked just as clean as when she arrived, white–skinned, spotless, not a drop of blood on her.

“My goodness, young lady, you’re incredible.”

Ethel no longer hesitated.

This girl had skill, and she hadn’t fooled them–she’d helped them out big time.

Victor didn’t need to run to another town to find a butcher.

Ethel smiled. “Miss, rest for a bit. Come noon, we’ll treat you both to the pork stew.”

“Thank you, Ma’am.”

Selina followed with a thank you.

Though the pig was dismembered, the organs still needed cleaning.

The elderly couple got to work, boiling water to clean the innards.

Scarlett and Selina stayed in the yard to help.

Victor went out to notify their relatives and friends to come for the pork stew.

In less than half an hour, eight or nine people had arrived.

Mostly friends and relatives from the same town, all older.

Seeing two young, pretty, well–mannered girls in the yard, they were naturally curious. Questions about the entertainment industry flowed–pay, workload, and whether their grandchildren could join too.

Scarlett and Selina answered patiently, without the slightest annoyance.

The townspeople grew even fonder of them.

Who wouldn’t appreciate polite, obedient girls?

While preparing the pork stew, Scarlett showed her skills.

She made a pot of sauerkraut with pork bones and offal.

The savory aroma spread across half the town.

“My goodness, this is the most delicious–smelling pork stew I’ve ever smelled in my life.”

“Seriously, the young lady is amazing at cooking.”

“Is it ready yet? It smells incredible, I’m starving.”

Ethel said proudly, “You all don’t know–this young lady slaughtered this pig herself. Quick and clean.”

“She’s truly talented.”

“Beautiful and skilled–what a young lady.”

They genuinely thought Scarlett was amazing.

She can even slaughter a pig!

Even the smell of the pig dishes reached the other five guests.

They were sitting under a big tree at the town entrance–hungry, exhausted, and completely drained.

The five had been wandering the town for two hours.

At first, they only dared ask the children if they wanted extra tutoring.

A few kids were asked.

However, most just rolled their eyes and ran off to play.

Finally, one kid couldn’t hold back. “Idiot! Why don’t you work around the clock yourself? We finally have a summer break.”

Nelson was left speechless.

He was always the one who asked.

So now, none of them dared to ask the kids anymore.

From then on, they asked passing adults.

They would ask the townspeople if help was needed with farming or housework.

But most just looked at them like they were crazy.

In the end, everyone shook their heads–no help needed.

So after wandering all morning, they only bought a couple of bottles of water at the small shop.

Now, they were both exhausted and hungry.
