Wielding a butcher's knife, a seven-year-old wicked girl supports her family and abuses her wic

"Shen..."

Just as Cai Youjin was about to speak, he suddenly saw Shen Zhiqi looking at him coldly.

His eyes flashed, and the threat in them was undisguised.

It was obvious that if he spoke now, his days at the Tu Xing Shu would be difficult from now on!

Thinking of this, Cai Youjin bit his lip tightly, but ultimately didn't say it.

The first test the clerk was talking about was clearly much more difficult than a normal test.

Besides the lack of a time limit, the requirement to chop the meat into minced meat was also added by Shen Zhi Qiu without her consent.

Do you have any objections to this?

Looking at Yang Xiaoman in front of him, Wang Shuli asked slowly.

Upon hearing this, she gently shook her head, her small face now filled with coldness.

This first hurdle, simply following the instructions, can stump many newcomers to the butchering profession.

Not to mention the time limit, even an experienced butcher like Chen Man probably wouldn't be 100% confident!

"No objections, let's begin!"

Yang Xiaoman answered expressionlessly, then, ignoring the clerk Wang's surprised reaction, she lowered her head and began to unwrap the coarse cloth covering the pig-slaughtering knife layer by layer.

As the last layer of coarse cloth was lifted, the sharp blade swayed slightly with the movement of her hand.

Under the scorching sunlight, the blade flashed white light, causing Shen Zhi Qiu, who was sitting in front of the hall, to subconsciously squint his eyes.

An indescribable fear suddenly surged into his heart, causing his composed face to turn deathly pale.

His gaze toward Yang Xiaoman in the courtyard was filled with intense hatred.

Although Yang Chenglin is dead, his daughter actually dared to dream of becoming a butcher right under his nose?

That's absolutely out of the ordinary!

Even if Yang Chenglin came, he probably wouldn't dare say he could pass the three tests that he set for butchers today with 100% certainty!

At the same time, under Wang Shuli's arrangement, a junior official soon brought out a piece of pork belly weighing about three pounds from the backyard and placed it on the slaughtering table.

As Yang Xiaoman stepped onto the stage, Wang Shuli lit the incense sticks that had been prepared in advance.

As a wisp of cigarette smoke rose into the air, she raised the butcher knife in her hand without hesitation.

With practiced skill, the piece of pork belly in front of him was quickly cut into three equal pieces.

She did not proceed to the next step, but instead looked indifferently at Wang the clerk.

Fortunately, the latter did not delay and quickly picked up the steelyard and weighed them.

With a hint of surprise in his eyes, he first nodded to Yang Xiaoman, signaling her to continue.

He then picked up the book, walked up to Shen Zhi Qiu, cupped his hands in greeting, and said:

"Reporting to Your Excellency, the weight difference between the three portions divided by Butcher Yang does not exceed one tael."

As he spoke, his voice betrayed a hint of surprise.

Such techniques have only been seen in veteran butchers who have been in the business for over a decade.

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhi Qiu was not surprised and nodded slightly in reply:

"After all, she is Yang Chenglin's daughter, so it's not surprising that she has such abilities."

His real tricks are yet to come.

In the courtyard, Cai Youjin was quite surprised and secretly felt a little sorry for Yang Xiaoman.

Despite her talent and ability, the conflict between her parents made it impossible for her to become a butcher within three years...

It's truly a pity.

Just as he was feeling sentimental, Yang Xiaoman had already completed the requirement of dividing the meat into lean, fatty, and moderately fatty portions.

After Wang the clerk relit an incense stick, he began the final step of the first stage of the butcher's assessment.

Mince three portions of pork with varying degrees of fat and lean meat into a very fine paste!

"Chopping it into minced meat isn't difficult, but you have to mince three portions of meat with varying degrees of fat within the allotted time..."

Looking at the slaughterhouse, Cai Youjin felt inexplicably worried.

Just then, seeing that the incense sticks had been lit, Yang Xiaoman hesitated to use the knife, instead looking at the pig-slaughtering knife placed on the wooden shelf beside her.

"What is she trying to do? Is the butcher knife she brought not working properly?"

Just as Cai Youjin was wondering, Shen Zhiqi also subconsciously sat up straight and narrowed his eyes.

Although he didn't understand Yang Xiaoman's personality, he did understand Yang Chenglin's personality.

His daughter would never give up so easily!

The next second, Yang Xiaoman walked to the wooden frame without thinking.

Her gaze lingered on the dozen or so pig-slaughtering knives before she finally reached out and grasped one of them, then walked back to the slaughtering table.

Under Cai Youjin's shocked gaze, Yang Xiaoman gripped the butcher knife with both hands and began to chop meat rhythmically.

Da da da!

Da da da!

The sound of chopping meat echoed continuously on the slaughtering platform.

Yang Xiaoman's hands seemed to dance in afterimages, causing Shen Zhi Qiu's confident smile to vanish instantly.

She had already completed the final step when the incense stick had burned down to half its end.

As Wang the clerk stepped forward and carefully stirred the three portions of minced meat with his chopsticks, his expression immediately turned strange.

After a long silence, he gasped and announced:

"No visible pieces of minced meat, first hurdle...passed!"

After he finished speaking, he subconsciously turned around and looked at Shen Zhi Qiu.

Seeing that the other party's face was gloomy and he didn't say anything else, his gaze returned to Yang Xiaoman.

Suppressing his shock, Wang the clerk tried to calm his tone and took a deep breath before saying:

"See that sharpening table over there? This second step requires you to sharpen the semi-finished blade blank to an incredibly sharp edge."

"The judging criteria are also very simple. Just place a thin strand of hair on the blade. If you can break it with a gentle breath, you pass the test."

Upon hearing this, Cai Youjin's mouth dropped open, and he looked sharply at Shen Zhiqi sitting in the main hall, blurting out:

"Lord Shen, when has our Tu Xing Shu's assessment ever been this exaggerated?"

"...To cut a hair in two, even the best blacksmith in our county couldn't possibly forge such a weapon, could he?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Zhi Qiu's expression changed drastically, and he angrily shouted:

"How dare you! Do you even have the right to speak here?"

"Does this mean I don't have the authority to correct standards that didn't exist before?!"

Feeling the overwhelming rage, Cai Youjin's face turned pale, and he quickly cupped his hands and said:

"It was I who was being presumptuous."

He lost his temper for a moment and risked being retaliated against for speaking his mind.

Of course, the main difficulty is the second level, which is incredibly difficult!

Shen Zhi Qiu glared fiercely at Cai You Jin with a cold face, then looked at Yang Xiao Man and said in a cold voice:

"If you're not brave enough, you might as well give up now!"

"It's only a three-year wait anyway. Your father's butcher's license is held by the butcher's office, so it won't be lost no matter what."

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Yang Xiaoman's eyes.

Although she didn't know what had happened between her father and Shen Zhi Qiu in front of her.

But based on his behavior alone, he can be described as narrow-minded and petty!

If there's a chance in the future, I'll deal with these scumbags from the government offices...

She is determined to bring him down!

Suppressing her resentment, Yang Xiaoman slowly put down the pig-slaughtering knife in her hand.

Without flinching, he looked directly at Shen Zhi Qiu and said calmly:

"If you have so much time to waste on this nonsense, you might as well bring over the blade blank now."

"My father's butcher's license can't be taken away by words alone!"
