How could I dare do that in front of you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xiao Liu and the others nearby saw this and tried hard to suppress their laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The once unruly butcher had started to suck up!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Yang ignored him and looked at the big fat pig on the ladder.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He began to calculate how to proceed and where to start.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because the next step was to break down the entire big white pig!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>There were no shortcuts in this step; it relied entirely on one's own handiwork.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, this was not a problem for Zhang Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this moment, the butcher’s gaze was also firmly fixed on Zhang Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But this time, it wasn't out of defiance, but a genuine desire to learn something from Zhang Yang!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The villagers were also watching with wide eyes!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If the previous events could be attributed to luck,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>then what followed would rely solely on technical skill!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They were all waiting to see if Zhang Yang would bring them a surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Having decided on the plan in his mind,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Yang did not hesitate, raised the knife in his hand, and stabbed it into the neck of the big white pig.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Judging by his posture, Zhang Yang intended to cut the pig's head off first.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But could this short pig-slaughtering knife achieve the effect of a large cleaver?!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, everyone remembered the terrifying strength that could knock down a big fat pig with one punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If it was Zhang Yang, anything was possible!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hmm? What kind of blade technique is this?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The butcher on the side muttered to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But this time, he didn't doubt; he just felt.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"A master is a master!

A complete pig head had been removed by Zhang Yang!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Damn it!!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>How many big white pigs must one slaughter to practice such skillful blade technique?!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>No!!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Suddenly, the villagers remembered Zhang Yang’s previous statement!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This was his first time slaughtering a pig!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Thinking of Zhang Yang’s previous words, the villagers were instantly dumbfounded!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>His technique was learned by watching, not by practicing; it was all about cost-effectiveness!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Damn it!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This cost-effectiveness was a bit too high!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This... this was more or less a bit outrageous!!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Perhaps this is the difference between a mortal and a monster!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Here! You hold this pig head first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The butcher suddenly felt his arms sink.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The huge pig head was shoved into his arms by Zhang Yang!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Ah?! Okay! Okay!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Only then did the butcher recover from his shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He had never even imagined such a technique; it was so fast, and it didn't cause any damage to the pig head.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If he were to remove such a complete pig head himself, it would take at least fifteen minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But Zhang Yang?!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It seemed like it took him less than five minutes, and he still felt like he had plenty of energy to spare!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Holy crap!!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It seems Zhang Yang’s pig-slaughtering level is not just above his, but at the ceiling level.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This is definitely at the level of a grandmaster!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The people in the live stream were not to be outdone, and it was bustling with activity!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>[This scene makes me think of the idiom \"Cook Ding carving up an ox\"!]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>[Zhang Yang’s technique is too skilled. Can such craftsmanship really be learned just by reading books?]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>[I’m starting to believe his words. This really was learned by watching, because such craftsmanship usually takes thirty or forty years to learn, but Zhang Yang is not even thirty yet.]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>[The moment the pig head was taken off, I felt a chill on my neck. In just a few minutes, such a big pig head was removed! It’s too fast!]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>[Master Hu! Are you still there? Can you comment on Zhang Yang’s technique? Is it good?!]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>[Haha!! This is grandmaster level, how can I comment? I can’t! I can only say it opened my eyes and I learned a new posture!]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>[Also, I want to ask, how do I watch the replay of this live stream? I want to see the video of the pig head removal. Zhang Yang’s blade technique was too fast, I didn't see it clearly at all!]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>[Master Hu! This is a live stream, there are no replays. It will be uploaded online tonight! You can search for it then!]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>[Master! Master! Don't panic!

I can do it too!]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>[Hahaha! They're competing! It’s hilarious!]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>While everyone was discussing,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Yang’s hands didn't stop at all,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>the pig-slaughtering knife flew in his hands, making everyone dizzy!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It didn't take long before the entire big white pig was completely broken down!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Yang finished the last cut and placed the knife on the slaughtering table.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Good!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Very good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The villagers applauded enthusiastically, full of praise!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Yang also cupped his hands to respond to the villagers' enthusiasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Ten minutes, ten minutes...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The butcher was like a soul lost, muttering this sentence repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He only needed ten minutes to break down a pig!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>What a terrifying existence!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This could even challenge a Guinness World Record!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Master!! Master~!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Yang called out several times.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Only then did the butcher react, smiling bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Master Zhang, you should just call me Huang Biao or Da Biao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Calling myself a master in front of you, isn't that like showing off a broadsword in front of Guan Gong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Yang smiled slightly, knowing that this butcher was finally convinced!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Master Huang, you're joking. We are just exchanging pointers, don't take it to heart!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Huang Biao cupped his hands toward Zhang Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Master Zhang, today really opened my eyes. There is always someone better, and there is always a heaven beyond heaven. I apologize for my poor attitude earlier!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Yang quickly lifted Huang Biao’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Haha! If Master Huang hadn't given me the chance tonight, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to show my skills!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Huang Biao’s face turned red instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, since Zhang Yang teased him like this, it meant he didn't take the matter to heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hahaha! It was my rudeness at the time, I suddenly had some small thoughts!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this time, the pig slaughtering was over, and the villagers gradually dispersed.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Only about a dozen people remained in the open space, looking like they were going to set up a stove to prepare a meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Huang Biao looked at the almost spotless Zhang Yang, then at his own dirty self.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He couldn't help but sigh: Tsk tsk, a master is a master! This pig slaughtering is also an art!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The two quickly washed the stains off their bodies!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although Zhang Yang just washed his hands simply!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But this feeling of slaughtering a pig was really not bad!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Especially the moment he held the sharp knife and stabbed it into the big fat pig’s artery.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He actually felt a trace of pleasure!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Holy crap!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Could I have such a perverted hobby?!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Soon!!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Yang woke up from this feeling; he absolutely must not indulge in this pleasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this time, the village head brought Aunt Wang over.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Before they even reached him, Aunt Wang couldn't wait to smile at Zhang Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I heard from everyone, I didn't expect you to be so amazing, you can even slaughter pigs. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have bothered the village head to find a butcher! That master’s fee is quite high, I might as well have let you earn that money!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After saying this, Aunt Wang shook her head and sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The village head and Huang Biao looked at each other!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Village head: Aunt Wang’s personality is still as stubborn as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Huang Biao: This Aunt Wang is really a bit fierce, she says bad things right to your face!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Auntie! I am the butcher you mentioned who charges a high fee, and my prices are all market rates!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Huang Biao could only bite the bullet and say.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Cough cough! So it was you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Aunt Wang never expected that she would run into Huang Biao at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For a moment, the atmosphere became a bit strange!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, if the atmosphere isn't enough, money makes up for it!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"That's WeChat, and Alipay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Ah?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Huang Biao was instantly stunned!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this time, Aunt Wang explained: \"The final payment for the pig slaughtering!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This left Zhang Yang dumbfounded!
