Qiao Huaping took two women from Bishui Village to pick some herbs for marinating wolf meat in the woods, knead them into pieces, apply them on the wolf meat, and marinate them for half an hour.
When the marinade is almost done, a dozen large pots are set up at the same time to start cooking!
Qiao Huaping took advantage of others' unpreparedness and dissolved two drops of spiritual water into the water, secretly adding some to each pot.
Probably because of the addition of spiritual water, the dozen or so large pots filled with wolf meat were all extremely well cooked, without even a hint of fishy smell, and the pure aroma of the meat filled the streamside.
This fragrance attracted many children. They looked towards the stream in the woods, their eyes full of hope and desire: "Isn't it too fragrant?"
The villagers in Liujin Village were all happy and excited: "We can have a tooth ceremony again."
Many people in the village have eaten wolf meat, but it has never tasted so fragrant.
The aroma of meat overflowing from more than a dozen large pots made many people salivate.
Qiao Huaping and the others shot a total of twenty-one wolves. When these wolves were gathered together, they were at the top of the food chain in the mountains and fields. Each one was fat and heavy. After each wolf was skinned and bled, there were probably nearly twenty more wolves left.
Overweight.
This is nearly five hundred pounds of meat.
At that time, Qiao Huaping led a team of forty hunters, each of whom received five kilograms of wolf meat and half a skin, leaving three hundred kilograms of meat.
Three hundred kilograms of meat sounds like a lot, but right now, in addition to people from Liujin Village, there are also people from Bishui Village.
Over in Bishui Village, Qiao Huaping and Village Chief Lu ordered each family to have a bowl of soup and meat, which was distributed to each person. It was estimated that each person would only get a piece of meat.
But here in Liujin Village, it is naturally different. Each person has a spoonful of meat - at least a few pieces. Then take a pancake and dip it into the broth, so that the pancake is soaked with the richness of the broth.
Aroma - Just thinking about it makes your mouth water.
Those who follow Qiao Huaping to hunt wolves because there are hunters in the family can still get five kilograms of meat, which will allow the family to have a full meal!
When the cooked wolf soup comes out of the pot, a long queue has already formed in the forest. People in Liujin Village are holding bowls in their hands, and they are filled with a happy atmosphere.
When people in Bishui Village saw it, they felt envious and jealous.
But they have no choice. They rely on the people in Liujin Village to escape famine. How can they be treated the same as the people in Liujin Village!
However, just as they were anxiously waiting for each family to receive their bowl of meat, they suddenly discovered that the twenty or so men and women who had gone to help Qiao Huaping each came back with a large bowl of meat!
The stewed wolf meat is extremely soft and rotten, and the meat is fragrant off the bones. The smell of it makes people's index fingers twitch.
Those people, it’s like celebrating the New Year, it’s so exciting!
Those people from Bishui Village who had said bad things about Qiao Huaping before looked at the piles of wolf meat, as if they had been slapped several times, their faces turned red!
It’s true that some people are happy, but some people can only watch others be happy.
Some discerning families in Liujin Village brought wolf meat back and started cooking it themselves. They poured the family's wolf meat into one place and mixed it with the wolf meat and wolf meat soup, plus some vermicelli they brought home, or
The wild vegetables dug at home were stewed into a large pot of vegetables.
Because the vermicelli and wild vegetables are cooked in the broth, they are also soaked with the aroma of the broth, which is called a fragrance!
In this way, everyone in the family can hold a big bowl of meat and vegetables and enjoy it happily.
For those whose family members followed Qiao Huaping to hunt wolves, this meal was even more impressive. The five kilograms of wolf meat they were given were filled into a pot, and when they were placed there, everyone who saw it would be happy and confused!
…
For example, Sun Liwen, an orphan without a father and mother, went hunting wolves with Qiao Huaping and got five kilograms of wolf meat. He was so happy that he took the meat and a basin and went to find Li Cuixiang.
Li Cuixiang took her daughter with her to reconcile with Zheng Gui, and came to Liujin Village from Bishui Village. She usually made a living by picking wild vegetables or helping with some work. Although her life was poor, she was able to make her own decisions after all.
There are more smiles.
Sun Liwen has been helping her overtly and covertly to make life a little easier for the poor mother and daughter.
Sun Liwen was also a poor man, and he was the only one in the family. He himself was also very poor in the past, otherwise he would not have missed Li Cuixiang because he could not raise the dowry to marry Li Cuixiang.
But that was the past. Ever since he learned archery from Qiao Huaping on his way out of the desert, Sun Liwen's life was getting better day by day.
This time, Sun Liwen held a large pot of fragrant and soft wolf meat and shouted Li Cuixiang's name happily: "Cuixiang, I'll give this to you, you can eat more... The baby is still young, and this broth is also very good.
Yes. Oh, yes, I got half a fur this time. Madam Qiao said that half a fur is not easy to sell. If I want to sell it, I will put it with the others first, and then go to the county and sell the whole fur.
Divide the money again... But I'm thinking, if you want to make a blanket or something for the baby, then I'll go find Mrs. Qiao and get the half of the leather."
Sun Liwen said softly.
Li Cuixiang looked at the large pile of wolf meat and the honest man in front of her, who wanted to give her all the good things. She felt sourness welling up in her eyes.
"I……"
But before he finished speaking, someone next to him heard someone urgently call out "Cui Xiang", his words full of greed.
Li Cuixiang felt suffocated and subconsciously hugged her daughter tightly.
A man came out from behind a tree nearby. If it wasn't Li Cuixiang's ex-husband Zheng Gui, who could it be?
Zheng Gui's slender little eyes seemed to be staring at Li Cuixiang, but in fact, their eyes were fixed on the pile of wolf meat next to Li Cuixiang, and his mouth was watering.
Previously, Zheng Gui was hanging out with the widow. Even though his daughter was about to starve to death, he secretly took food rations to feed the widow's mistress! After being discovered, he shamelessly wanted to beat his wife and daughter together! Li Cuixiang couldn't bear it anymore and broke out, voluntarily filing for divorce.
, fighting hard to make a clean break with the Zheng family even if he is divorced.
Zheng Gui called out "Cui Xiang" again, took two steps forward, and said with a playful smile: "I think you are from Liujin Village now, and I think you have shared a lot of meat, so I came to you to ask for some meat... That's right.
I didn’t expect you have so much meat!”
Li Cuixiang couldn't bear it and stood up suddenly: "What does it have to do with you? Get out!"
Zheng Gui said with a playful smile: "Cuixiang, don't be like this. It is said that a couple's kindness will last a hundred days, and the family will not be able to open the fire. How can you bear to watch the baby and her own father starve to death?"
Saying that, Zheng Gui took a step forward and wanted to touch Li Cuixiang's face.
Li Cuixiang freed up a hand and knocked Zheng Gui's hand away, her whole body shaking with anger: "You still have the nerve to mention your daughter?!"
The little girl in Li Cuixiang's arms probably felt her mother's anger and burst into tears.
Sun Liwen was so anxious that he stood in front of Li Cuixiang and glared at Zheng Gui: "You scared the mother and daughter!"
"Go away! I'm talking to the mother-in-law and the children, who are you?!" Zheng Gui sneered.
With that said, Zheng Gui was about to call Sun Liwen, and shouted with a sticky mouth: "Cuixiang, I miss you."
However, before he could finish his words, a slender leg from the diagonal stab kicked him across, sending Zheng Gui flying out!
