Chapter 47 Going to the County

"Wife, take the tiger out. I'll deal with the one we left behind first. The tiger skin will keep us warm when we spread it on the kang in winter.

There are also bison and wild sheep. Take out one as well and I will clean them up together.

Cowhide and sheepskin are also good things. I can also process leather. You can make a sheepskin coat for winter. It will keep out the wind." After lunch, Gu Yan prepared to go outside to collect the prey.

Li Wanqing followed Gu Yan to a water bubble not far from their home. This water bubble was formed by water flowing down from a distant waterfall.

I usually do my laundry here.

Li Wanqing released the prey that Gu Yan was going to catch and went back. She was too lazy to watch the blood splattering as he caught the prey.

"Husband, don't throw away the cow and sheep offal. Clean them up and I'll make you mutton soup." Li Wanqing specifically instructed before going back.

"I got it, don't worry. By the way, wife, do you want some tiger offal?" Gu Yan asked while he was busy skinning the wild sheep.

Li Wanqing had never heard of anyone eating tiger offal, and she didn't dare to eat it. In modern times, she was a "five-good" young person, who was particularly law-abiding.

"No, you should find a place to bury it too." Li Wanqing said quickly.

"Okay, I got it. Wife, you go back first. But you have to come to pick me up in the evening, otherwise I won't be able to take so many things back." Gu Yan said.

"Got it. What do you want to eat tonight? I'll make you something delicious." Gu Yan worked hard, and Li Wanqing wanted to reward him.

Before Li Wanqing asked, Gu Yan had no idea. Now that Li Wanqing asked, Gu Yan really wanted to eat something.

"Wife, shall we have grilled lamb chops tonight? I'm craving them." Gu Yan said with a smile.

"Okay, this is not a difficult thing. You can take out the lamb chops and I will take them back and marinate them in advance." Li Wanqing agreed readily.

Gu Yan was used to doing this, and in just a short while, he had processed the whole sheep clearly.

"Then wait for me for a moment, my wife. I will cut the mutton into different parts, and you can take it back with you." After saying this, Gu Yan skillfully cut the mutton into pieces.

After a while, Gu Yan finished the cutting. Li Wanqing found two large plastic bags, put the cut mutton into the space, and then went home, leaving Gu Yan to continue hanging the bison and skinning it.

When Li Wanqing got home, she marinated the lamb chops with onions, ginger, garlic, salt and cumin.

Then he went back to the house and took out needle and thread to mend his clothes. The clothes he wore this time when he went into the mountains were all torn, so he mended them and kept them for the next time he went into the mountains.

In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun was shining. Li Wanqing went to the pond and packed up the bison meat, tiger bones and other things that Gu Yan had cut up and put them into the space.

"My husband, you have worked hard. Let's go back quickly. I will grill some lamb chops for you when we get back." Li Wanqing said happily as she looked at the pile of beef in the space.

"Okay, wait for me for a while. I'll go down and wash off the blood." After saying that, Gu Yan took off his clothes and jumped into the pool without caring that Li Wanqing was still watching.

Fortunately, the pond was full of running water, and the dirt from cleaning up the prey had long been washed away by the current.

Gu Yan didn't wash for long. He just scrubbed himself briefly and came up to follow Li Wanqing home.

"Husband, please go to the room and rest first. The lamb chops will be ready soon. Eating lamb chops alone is too greasy and not enough to fill you up. I'll make you some scallion pancakes." Li Wanqing said with concern.

Gu Yan was indeed tired, so he responded and went back to his room to rest.

Li Wanqing lit a fire in front of the cave entrance and started grilling lamb chops. Brushing the lamb chops with honey made them both delicious and beautiful.

Li Wanqing just remembered that there were still a dozen large beehives in the space. It seemed that she would have to find time to filter them all out.

Bee pupae are also good things. Eating them can supplement protein and beeswax, which are rare and good things.

While thinking about things, he turned the lamb chops over from time to time and made a few pancakes with some dough.

I was afraid that I would get too sick of eating just the lamb chops, so I also mixed in a plate of wild vegetables.

Another delicious meal in the evening.

The two got up early the next morning. Gu Yan felt much more relaxed this time going to the county town.

Because there was space, they put all their things in it and the two of them continued on their journey empty-handed.

There was no conversation along the way. When they reached the foot of the mountain, seeing that there was no one around, Li Wanqing took out the carriage from the space.

This is also the benefit that the space allows Gu Yan to know. Everything in the space can be taken out and used openly.

Gu Yan really likes these two carriages, just like how men can't resist cars.

When Gu Yan first saw the carriage in the space, he was overjoyed. From then on, the two horses were taken care of by Gu Yan personally, and the grass they ate every day was fresh and tender.

Gu Yan harnessed the carriage and helped Li Wanqing get in. He sat on the shaft, waved the whip, and set off.

There was a gentle breeze along the way, and Gu Yan was in a good mood and hummed a little tune.

The carriage was fast and they arrived at the county town in just one hour. Gu Yan stopped the carriage and asked Li Wanqing to put the tigers and medicinal herbs that were to be sold to Manager Liu into the carriage.

With these things placed in the carriage, Li Wanqing could no longer sit inside. Now that the weather was hot, it was nice to sit outside and enjoy the breeze.

"Husband, how much silver do you plan to sell this tiger for?" Li Wanqing asked.

"I won't sell it for less than five hundred taels. It's not easy to kill a tiger. Anyway, I have never seen anyone kill a tiger in my life.

Moreover, tiger bone wine and tiger penis are both top-quality medicinal materials, and are hard to come by even for wealthy families.

There is also tiger skin, which will fetch at least two hundred taels if sold.

Although tiger meat is not as valuable as other meats, there are still some gentlemen who want to try something fresh. "Gu Yan thought for a moment and said.

After a while, Gu Yan said again: "Wife, do you think we should sell a bear to Shopkeeper Liu? There are several bears in the space, it would be better to sell them separately."

Li Wanqing was troubled by the thought of the black bears in her space. She had thought they were good when she first hunted them, but now she was getting terrified of them sitting there day in and day out. She thought it would be best to sell them off as soon as possible.

"Okay, then I'll release another black bear.

Actually, we don't have to take them all to the provincial capital. We can stop by other counties along the way." Li Wanqing said.

Gu Yan agreed when he heard it. They had to pass through other counties on the way to the provincial capital, so selling something in one county would not be a big deal.

"Okay, my wife, you are smart." Gu Yan said.

Li Wanqing glared at him, turned around, reached into the car, and released a black bear.

After entering the city, Gu Yan drove the carriage directly to the gate of Deji Hall.

Gu Yan got off the carriage first, and then helped Li Wanqing get off the carriage.

The staff at the clinic still remembered Gu Yan and Li Wanqing, and knew that they had a good relationship with the owner.

Seeing them come in, he hurried over to greet them: "Sir, you are here to sell medicinal herbs or to see Manager Liu?"
