I Reached the Pinnacle of Life in the 60s by Raising Children

Li Qingyun transmigrated into a book she had read, becoming the male supporting character's early-deceased, vicious biological mother. She took on the responsibility of caring for and educating...

Chapter 126 Killing Sheep

Although he said it calmly, Li Qingyun knew that he must have put in a lot of effort to be able to monopolize a whole sheep without anyone having any objections.

I felt sorry for his difficulties and was touched that he took my words to heart.

Yesterday she accidentally said that eating mutton in the first snow is the most nutritious, it warms the stomach and keeps you from feeling cold all winter.

In fact, she still had two lamb legs in her space, but it was not convenient to take them out and eat them directly. Unexpectedly, he brought back a whole lamb openly today. Now she can do whatever she wants with the lamb.

Dabao walked around the sheep on the ground, touching and looking at them. This was the first time he saw a whole sheep.

"Dad, you are so awesome. I want to be like you when I grow up." He said proudly.

Gu Tingzhou stroked his son's furry little head and said, "You will definitely be more powerful than your father when you grow up."

This trip was indeed not easy for Gu Tingzhou. Everyone went up the mountain to hunt small prey such as pheasants and rabbits, and did not dare to provoke the big guys easily.

The wild boar only dared to hunt solitary ones, so after going up the mountain for a long time, it did not hunt any large prey.

Gu Tingzhou wanted to hunt a sheep so that he could share some of the meat with his wife, so he took Erniu and the other man with him and left the team. They searched for the sheep in the snow following their footprints for more than an hour before they found them.

The two waited for a long time but there was no lone sheep left. It was too late to notify the main force, so they had no choice but to go on their own.

After making a simple plan, the two men first dug up the snow and found some grass that sheep liked to eat, which attracted two sheep to come over. Gu Tingzhou killed them with a knife.

When the other two sheep came running, Erniu chopped one of them with a hatchet, and the remaining one was dealt with by Gu Tingzhou. He defeated them one by one and took all four sheep into his pocket.

A sheep weighs about 130 to 140 kilograms. Gu Tingzhou can barely carry two on his back, but two oxen cannot.

But if they don't leave quickly, a big guy will smell the blood and come over, and they will be in danger.

It was too late to find anyone, so Gu Tingzhou temporarily cut a few branches as thick as arms and made a simple sled. The two of them put the four sheep on it and dragged it along.

They had a safe journey and soon arrived near the main group according to the marks along the way. Unexpectedly, they encountered three wild boars that were out foraging. The wild boars smelled the blood on the sled and chased after them panting.

Fortunately, everyone was nearby at that time, and they quickly gathered together to deal with the three wild boars.

Gu Tingzhou dealt with one alone, and the big guys dealt with two.

After killing a sheep for the first time, Erniu had successfully overcome his fear. When he was surrounding and killing wild boars, he also put in a lot of effort. One of the wild boars was killed by him when he hit the vital part of the neck.

Seeing the four sheep and three big wild boars hunted by Gu Tingzhou and Erniu, everyone laughed so hard that they couldn't stop, and kept praising them for their skills.

This time, no one dared to underestimate this teenage boy anymore.

In previous years, killing a few wild boars was a good achievement. This year, we also got a few more sheep, which was a pleasant surprise. They were all hunted by Gu Tingzhou and Erniu.

This is also the reason why Gu Tingzhou was able to get a whole sheep this time. Erniu also got a whole wild boar leg, which weighed about ten to twenty kilograms of meat, enough for him to have a comfortable winter.

The wild boar and sheep have been slaughtered, and the team has notified everyone to go and collect the meat. Apart from the part that will be handed over to the commune, each household will receive an average of five or six pounds of the rest of the meat. If there are people living there, they can get an extra pheasant or rabbit.

The amount of meat distributed this time was more than half more than in previous years, mainly thanks to Gu Tingzhou, the killer. After being a soldier for so many years, he is no longer the Wuxia A'mon of the past. These preys are not good enough in his eyes.

After this distribution of meat, the team will distribute meat again when they slaughter the New Year pig before the end of the year. It is estimated that each family will get several pounds. This year is a rare fat year.

These meats are basically the villagers' source of meat for the whole year. The villagers do not have meat coupons and are reluctant to buy expensive meat, so they rely on these meats to survive all year round.

Marinate it carefully, and when you have guests or during festivals, cut off a small piece and cook it to taste.

Li Qingyun carefully checked her man from head to toe. He only had a few scratches on his hands and no injuries on his body. Only then did she feel relieved.

Outside, everyone was holding torches and going to get the meat in a lively manner. The family sat at the kang table and ate dinner.

Gu Tingzhou ate with big mouthfuls. He had been highly focused all day and had consumed too much physical energy. He had only eaten a few cold pancakes at noon and urgently needed hot food to replenish his energy.

After dinner, Dabao did his homework under the kerosene lamp, Erbao played by himself after drinking milk, and Li Qingyun helped Gu Tingzhou to take care of the sheep outside.

The whole body of a sheep is a treasure, and since it is already dead, there is no need to slaughter it.

Gu Tingzhou cut its aorta and put the flowing blood into a basin. The sheep had lost some blood before, but it was not completely drained. Now he collected half a basin of blood again. Sheep blood is a good thing.

After collecting the sheep's blood, Gu Tingzhou took out a knife and used it to separate a small hole in the sheep's hind leg to separate the sheepskin and meat. He blew along the hole with his mouth to separate the sheepskin and meat. It took him a long time to separate them completely.

After separating the sheepskin, use a bone-chopping knife to gut the sheep, take out the internal organs and clean them. The sheep offal should not be missed, as it can be used to make sheep offal soup.

With the last flush of water, the whole sheep was cleaned thoroughly.

Gu Tingzhou thoughtfully divided the whole lamb into several parts so that Li Qingyun could take it when eating.

He divided the mutton, and Li Qingyun also packed up the mutton offal while suppressing her nausea.
