Chapter 834: Too Much Meat Is Troublesome
Liu Weihua and Wang Xiulan, a couple who wanted to get closer to their grandson, managed to get little Hu to stay overnight last night after spending more than two days with him and winning his heart with delicious food and meat.
Without her son around, Xie Yumei slept well as she didn't have to get up in the middle of the night to change her diaper.
Liu Jingxue stayed in the mountain for so long yesterday, and had been using her spiritual sense to monitor the surrounding situation, so she was really tired.
In order to have a good sleep, she simply gave Xie Yumei some sleeping pills to ensure that she would sleep until dawn and go into the space to rest.
After all, her son was not around, and she was a little worried about whether he was crying or making a fuss. So Xie Yumei got up in the morning and went straight to the cowshed without even having breakfast.
Since she was not there, Liu Jingxue didn't have to cook outside. She made herself a bowl of shredded pork noodles in the space for breakfast.
I don’t know if it’s because Liu Jianguo and Liu Jianjun are both soldiers and have too much energy, or if it’s because gay men are addicted to hunting.
They didn’t go down the mountain and go home until after nine o’clock last night. After having dinner and resting for the night, the two brothers went back into the mountain together early in the morning.
The two wanted to pull Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao over as well, but the two had to divide the meat and slaughter the pork today, so they couldn't leave.
Therefore, the two brothers Liu Jianguo and Liu Jianjun had to act alone.
Before going to the cafeteria to help, Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao made a special trip to the cowshed to convey the news.
Wang Xiulan and Xie Yumei, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were speechless when they received the news.
There is no shortage of meat at home, and there will be more after distributing the meat today. I don’t know what kind of hunting the two of them are going to go into the mountains for.
They had spent a whole day in the mountains yesterday and they were still not cold enough.
But the people had already gone into the mountains, so no matter how unhappy they were, they had to hold it in.
But it is not clear what will greet them when they return.
Wang Xiulan suppressed her unhappiness and said to Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao,
"Okay, Aunt Liu knows about this, thank you for making this trip.
You guys are going to queue up in the cafeteria to get meat, and you also have to learn the skills of butchering pigs, so hurry up and get over there."
"Okay, Aunt Liu, we'll be there soon.
You can cook less food at noon, we will bring the pig-killing dishes over later and we can eat together.
Let my elder brother, elder sister-in-law, and nephew taste the authentic Northeastern pig-killing dishes."
"Okay, I get it.
But you just need to bring the pig-slaughtering dishes, and don't bring the meat that was allocated to you.
You will be going back the day after tomorrow. Throw the meat in the snow and freeze it so you can take it back with you later.
We don’t lack meat here, Xiaoxue, Jianguo, and Jianjun will also get a lot of meat, and they are not going back into the mountains, so there is no need for you to bring it.”
“When they come back, I’ll give you some more frozen meat, and you can take it back then.
Anyway, you have already borrowed a car, and it is a separate compartment, so you can bring some extra things back." Wang Xiulan instructed.
The two of them were not polite, after all, there was no shortage of them here. If there was nothing left, they could just go into the mountains and hunt.
"Okay, Aunt Liu, we got it."
At lunch time, the brothers Liu Jianguo and Liu Jianjun still hadn't returned.
Liu Jingxue had already used her spiritual sense to investigate and found that the two were still walking inside and there was no sign of them going back.
However, compared with their fighting power, their gains were indeed somewhat disappointing.
After all, Liu Jingxue didn't use her spiritual sense to help them cheat today.
Liu Jingxue guessed that their purpose of going into the mountains was to use what they learned yesterday to track prey, and their main purpose was probably not hunting, so she did not interfere with them.
Liu Weihua had already guessed what his two sons were thinking. When the food was served, he said,
“Okay, let’s eat and not wait for them.
I'm afraid they won't be back until late at night."
Just as Liu Weihua had expected, the two did not return home until after four in the afternoon and brought back some prey, mostly roe deer.
Now, we don’t have to cook dinner for now. We can only work together to deal with the prey first.
Fortunately, except Xie Yumei and Xiao Huzi, everyone else present was good at dealing with prey. With everyone working together, they finished dealing with the prey in no time.
As for Xie Yumei, her main task was to take Xiao Huzi and hide in the inner room to prevent him from coming out and seeing the bloody scenes and getting frightened.
After finally processing the prey, everyone was exhausted. Looking at the several large pots of meat and the piles of bones in front of them, they thought of the succulents that Liu Jingxue had sent them in the morning and felt a headache.
"It hasn't snowed these days, and the snow piles before are all full of frozen meat and bones. They are so old, there is really no place to put them." Wang Xiulan frowned.
Mr. Zou was also worried, "Even if the meat is left outside, it will freeze in a few hours even if it is not thrown into the snow, but it is not appropriate to leave so much meat outside in the open.
Although few people come here, if someone comes and sees us, it will be a big trouble."
"I guess these two guys won't be quiet in the days ahead. They'll probably go into the mountains from time to time," Liu Weihua hit the nail on the head.
Brothers Liu Jianguo and Liu Jianjun pretended not to hear, did not refute, nor admit it, and just played dumb.
Seeing a group of people worrying about having too much meat, Liu Jingxue gave them some advice.
"This is easy. Brother Zhou and Brother Zhao are going home, so just ask them to bring more back.
Anyway, they have borrowed a car to go to Xi City, and my second brother and I will take them to the car, so there is no need to worry that they will not be able to pick up the car.
Once we get there, have Grandpa Zhou send someone to pick them up and get a trailer to transport the goods, so we don’t have to worry about not getting them back.”
Wang Xiulan nodded, "I think this will work.
The meat may seem like a lot, but both families are big families, and if they divide it up, there won't be much left.
Besides, these two guys are used to eating big mouthfuls of meat here. If they go back, with only a month's supply of meat, they will probably be very greedy.
I think we should just give them all the meat to take back home, as they will have to stay at home for more than a month."
When Zhou Mingxuan heard this, he quickly waved his hand and refused, "Aunt, we can't take so much.
There are so many cured meats, mountain products and ginseng wine.
Besides, we took everything away, so what are you going to eat?"
Liu Jianjun waved his hand and said, "All this meat weighs only about 200 kilograms. Take it all away. The car can hold it all.
My younger sister and I can also carry it.
As for us, we still had a lot at home. In the morning, the three of us shared more than 100 kilograms of meat.
If there is nothing else, my brother and I will go into the mountains to hunt.
We just want to take advantage of this time to practice the tracking skills we learned from Uncle Ji."
"Yes, take them all away.
What if there is too much meat at home and mom doesn’t let us go into the mountains to hunt? I have just found the fun.” Liu Jianguo also said.
Wang Xiulan was a little amused when she heard this.
"If you want to practice tracking skills, just practice. There is no need to kill the animals.
It's so cold, your hands will freeze when you handle the prey."
“I don’t have the habit of letting go of the meat in front of me.
When you think about it later, you will regret it to death." Liu Jianguo retorted.
Liu Weihua rolled his eyes at him and said, "You are right.
From now on, when you go into the mountains, you are only allowed to hunt if you are out of meat at home. Otherwise, you are not allowed to harm animals.
You don't even think about what will happen if you hunt too many animals and there are no animals left in the mountains next spring.
The villagers are counting on these animals to improve their lives.”
Liu Jianguo and Liu Jianjun did not dare to refute and could only agree.
"Okay, it's settled. You guys can take these meat back later.
It’s so late and I haven’t had dinner yet. I’m too lazy to bother and just eat hotpot tonight.
You all should help wash and chop the vegetables."
At Wang Xiulan's command, everyone started preparing for dinner.
