“Three younger siblings!”
Standing on the crooked neck tree, Ms. He saw Qin Yao outside the crowd and quickly waved to her: "Here! Here!"
From her position, she has an excellent field of vision.
Qin Yao nodded in agreement and hurriedly led the two girls over.
The villagers she met along the way greeted her happily when they saw her.
Some people admired her for her strength, and some asked her if she was hurt.
Qin Yao came back one by one, and it took a long time to reach He's side with difficulty.
As for the wolf's skin and head, the whole village agreed that it belonged to Qin Yao's family. They had packed it up early and sent it to her family.
Mrs. He was afraid that the old tree could not bear the heavy weight, so she quickly came down, gave her place to the two little girls, and seriously warned: "Be careful! Hold the branches with your hands, do you hear me?"
The pigs killed two days ago only weighed about 200 kilograms each. The wolf meat this night was equivalent to nine pigs, and even the villagers couldn't finish it.
Qin Yao gave Liu Qi an admiring look that said, "You are very sensible." She stopped counting the money, weighed it, and put it in her pocket. "Then you guys should be busy. I have something to do at home, so I'll leave first." Liu Qi said regretfully : "Aren't you going to stay and eat the big pot stove?"
If this money is enough, he will build a school!
The wolf skin is more valuable than the meat, but it is a bit shabby and not in good condition. The village chief doesn't know how much it can be sold for. Anyway, he will let the villagers who know how to make skins pack it first, and then let Liu Gonglang sell it.
The meat is cut into cubes of even size, blanched and boiled until cooked, then marinated with spices and then smoked directly on the stove over charcoal fire.
“Awang, have you ever eaten wolf meat?” Qin Yao picked out the bones individually and handed the meat pieces to Awang.
I trot all the way to Qin Yao, holding her big hand, her mother and daughter held their hands, and walked home.
Qin Yao waved her hand, "You guys eat more."
If Ms. Qiu had known that her daughter could have such a consciousness, she would have taken her to the cafeteria to help clean the table and light the stove.
As he spoke, he spread his palms and said, "One hundred and ten cents per person, right? You give it to me. I'll keep it for myself so that I don't have to ask you for money every time I buy some gadgets. I'm a big man and I always ask my mother-in-law for money." , it will be embarrassing for you if you tell me.”
Qin Yao doesn't care, she is responsible for eating anyway.
"That's okay. I'm going back to my room to study first?" Liu Ji asked in a cowardly manner.
The whole village knew that the third aunt was in charge of the financial affairs of his family, so it was only natural that the third uncle's share should be given to the third aunt.
Awang shook his head and said he had never eaten it, but he already had the recipe in his mind.
Liu Qi hurriedly asked how dare she, secretly wiped the sweat from her head, and signaled Qin Yao to take a step to speak.
Qin Yao nodded, and he turned around and ran away, still holding the money on his chest, for fear that she would regret it.
“What's the matter?” Qin Yao asked curiously.
In order to avoid quarrels, the village chief made the decision. Each of the forty-two households in the village was divided into 20 kilograms of meat and 840 kilograms.
"Third Aunt, this is your and Third Uncle's share. The villagers paid for it, and each of you who killed the wolf team got one hundred and ten cents. The two of them totaled two hundred and twenty cents. You can count it."
Qin Yao patted He's arm in a funny way, and told the monkey Siniang on the tree to pay attention to safety, and then followed Liu Qi to the alley behind the house, avoiding the crowd.
“Brothers and sisters, look at it, those people are all here to buy wolf meat. I heard people said that wolf meat is not very delicious, but they couldn't bear it and they thought it was rare, so they grabbed their heads, hahaha.”
"Do you think I will be greedy for your little money?" Qin Yao asked dangerously.
He stroked the little girl's face with satisfaction, turned around and took Qin Yao's arm, pointed at the head in front of her and sighed:
“Our Liujia Village has been here for decades, but it has never been so lively this year.”
“I just heard from Jin Bao that the eldest brother and the second brother handed over the money to the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law this morning. The eldest sister-in-law was very happy and said that she would make a good meal for the two of them to make up for it in the evening.”
Qin Yao smiled, "Have you embarrassed me enough?"
The strong flavor of spices can make people ignore the shortcomings of the meat itself, and it should taste good.
“Then these picked bones will be stewed in soup tonight?”
With that said, he smiled at Qin Yao again and said, "When the third uncle comes to me alone to get the money, I will tell you to keep it all."
Jinhua also slid down the tree and nodded in response: "I know, I know! I want to go to school, but I can no longer go to the factory cafeteria with my mother-in-law to work as a fire girl."
Mr. He yelled and teased the young man, "I can only see your third aunt, right?"
Of course, if we insist on dividing the meat, each family will definitely not object. They have many ways to save meat.
“Third aunt!”
But it's not too late.
Chin Yao: "."
Liu Ji choked and felt that there was no hope of getting money. He curled his lips and was about to say something strange when a heavy coin dropped into his hand.
Si Niang replied obediently: "Yeah, I know."
But in this case, those who have contributed will not be happy.
Liu Qi squeezed through the crowd, and when she saw He was there, she hurriedly shouted, "Auntie is here too."
The remaining 960 kilograms were stewed in a big pot and the whole village came together to eat. The rest was sold, and all the money earned was put into the public house to be used for repairing ancestral halls, building bridges and paving roads.
There is another vision that the village chief has not expressed.
Like the four female monkeys, Jinhua climbed up the tree by herself.
Liu Ji suppressed his laughter, put the money away seriously, waved his hands and said, "How come, madam, you are the most generous!"
Going out of the alley behind the house, he shouted toward the crooked neck tree: "Liu Pingling, go home!"
As soon as Qin Yao entered the door, Liu Ji was like a local dog that smelled the smell of meat. He leaned over with a smile and asked: "Madam, have you divided the money for killing the wolf team?"
Through He's mouth, Qin Yao knew that the wolf meat last night, after skinning and decapitating it, totaled more than 1,800 kilograms.
This part of the money is still confiscated and kept for future use.
Liu Qi took out a money bag from her arms, opened it, took two slings of copper coins and handed them to Qin Yao.
"Then you come to my house tomorrow morning, and I will help you memorize the Thousand-Character Classic and Hundreds of Family Names." When Siniang left, she did not forget to remind her again. She was really worried about Sister Jinhua.
"The meat of carnivorous animals is not very tasty. It takes a lot of effort to stew or stir-fry. I will make it into dried meat and give it to Dalang and others as snacks."
Qin Yao simply couldn't bear to look at the appearance of his little family, so she called Awang, and the two of them took the knives and went to the backyard to collect the twenty kilograms of wolf meat.
Awang nodded and took a look at the bones picked out by Qin Yao, feeling a little disgusted.
“Oh, here we come~” Si Niang hurriedly slid down from the tree and told Sister Jinhua, “After the new year, the school will recruit students again. You have to work harder, and you can't be lazy anymore.”
Today's dinner is sumptuous, not just for Qin Yao's family, but for the entire Liujia Village.
The smell of meat filled the air over the village and lingered for a long time, making the wild beasts in the mountains howl incessantly.
While Qin Yao drank the wolf bone soup that Awang disliked, but was actually very delicious, she was thinking about whether she should take the opportunity to go into the mountains and get some game to satisfy her craving. (End of chapter)
