Chapter 066: It's too much trouble for a little meat

But in fact, Lu Jiansen was really amazing. He quietly approached the wild boar and killed it in a moment. Gu Xiaoxi, who wanted to help, was completely useless.

Seeing that the wild boar was dead, Lu Jiansen turned around and gave instructions to the little girl behind him.

"I'll go find some vines to tie up the pig. Don't wander off."

As he spoke, he cleaned up the bloodstains on the ground first.

Gu Xiaoxi kept looking at the wild boar on the ground. This wild boar was very big, probably about three or four hundred kilograms?

There is so much meat, it’s not easy to keep it all to yourself!

Just when she was lost in thought, Lu Jiansen came back with a few vines.

Seeing the little girl staring at the wild boar, he said softly, "The wild boar is too big. It will be too conspicuous if we take it back. How about handing it over to the army canteen? Then leave out the parts you want."

Gu Xiaoxi nodded, "Okay. Just leave 3-5 jin of pork belly and a few spare ribs! Oh, leave 10 jin of fat, I want to make some oil. Half a jin of pork liver and lean meat each, and keep the pork belly and large intestine for me."

For such a big pig, it shouldn't be too much for her to ask for just this little bit of stuff, right?

"Okay." Lu Jiansen silently wrote down what the little girl wanted.

When the two men drove back to the unit with a wild boar, they attracted a large crowd of onlookers.

Before long, everyone in the entire military region knew that Captain Lu had killed a wild boar and there would be meat and vegetables in the canteen tomorrow.

Gu Xiaoxi didn't pay attention to the wild boar. After she got home, she sorted her things and went into the kitchen to boil water for a bath.

By the time she finished her shower, Lu Jiansen had already returned with the pork she had ordered.

However, the things she requested were more than what she had requested before, including a bag of flour weighing about 20 kilograms.

Gu Xiaoxi saw the things and asked curiously, "Why is there still flour?"

Lu Jiansen looked at the little girl with crystal clear skin after taking a bath. His throat tightened a little and his voice became soft unconsciously.

"I traded it with the logistics department for pork."

"It's still possible!" Gu Xiaoxi smiled with his eyebrows curved, and his mood was visibly good.

When she wanted to process the meat, Lu Jiansen said softly: "You go and rest first, I will process the meat."

The pig offal had only been briefly processed and needed to be washed again.

The little girl had already taken a bath, and he didn't want her to do anything else!

Gu Xiaoxi didn't intend to leave everything to Lu Jiansen. "Let's do it together! Get it done quickly and go to bed early. You go wash up, I'll cut the fat and boil the oil first."

Lu Jiansen was persuaded by the little girl's words "go to bed early", and he immediately went to wash the ten kilograms of fat.

Gu Xiaoxi cut it up and started preparing to make pork fat.

But Lu Jiansen was afraid that the oil would splash on the little girl, so he pulled the person away.

"I'll do it. You go and see how to deal with the pork belly. Do you want to salt it?"

"Leave one pound for tomorrow's meal, and use the rest to stuff sausages! You can save it for later!"

As she spoke, she started cutting the meat.

As soon as the meat was cut, Lu Jiansen took it over and helped chop the meat.

Gu Xiaoxi couldn't do anything about him, so he secretly used the cleaning technique to wash the half-washed pig stomach and large intestine by Lu Jiansen.

Afterwards she cut up the pork liver and lean meat, took the newly bought coal stove, lit the stove, and used part of it to cook the pork liver and lean meat soup.

Just as the two were drinking pork liver and lean meat soup and talking in the kitchen, there was a sudden burst of crying outside.

Gu Xiaoxi frowned slightly. Why is someone crying again?

This courtyard is becoming more and more noisy day by day!

Lu Jiansen listened attentively and was about to speak when he heard an old woman's weird curse outside his door.

"Really? It's just a matter of beating a wild boar, but you had to let the whole military district know about it. The child is so hungry that he cries and refuses to sleep..."

Gu Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment. She looked at Lu Jiansen and blinked, "Are you talking about us?"

Lu Jiansen said softly: "Don't worry about it!"

Gu Xiaoxi didn't want to pay attention to it, but it was late at night and the courtyard was quiet. As soon as someone shouted, many people ran out to see the excitement.

Someone sighed and said, "The wild boars have been given to the canteen. They can go get food tomorrow. Let the children be patient!"

"That's right, Captain Lu was kind enough to hand over the wild boar, but he still has to get himself into trouble!"

But the old woman slapped her thigh and started crying, "My child hasn't had meat for three months. What can I do? My son Da Hu said he saw Captain Lu carrying a basket of meat home, and he insisted that I buy it..."

Gu Xiaoxi: “…”

Now that the other person had said this, she couldn't just pretend she didn't hear it, so she put down her bowl and chopsticks and went out.

Naturally, Lu Jiansen would not let the little girl face it alone, so he followed her out.

When the people outside the door saw Captain Lu and Gu Xiaoxi come out, they all fell silent.

An old lady in cloth looked at Lu Jiansen unhappily, "Captain Lu, I have many children and haven't eaten meat for a long time. Today, when I saw you carrying meat home, I insisted on buying some. I'll buy two kilograms of meat for you."

This tone was not one of negotiation, but rather one of command.

Someone thought something was wrong and hurried to smooth things over, "Captain Lu, Deputy Commander Wang's four children haven't eaten meat for a long time, and now they can't even fill their stomachs with the daily rations."

Gu Xiaoxi didn't want Lu Jiansen to worry about such trivial matters, so he patiently explained a few things to the old lady.

"We don't have a lot of meat at home. Your child must have seen it wrong."

"I asked the canteen to leave a pig stomach and a set of pig intestines, so there are a lot of things. I left half a pound of pig liver and lean meat, and my family just cooked and ate them. We wasted some time hunting wild boars on the way back, so we are so busy that we are only having dinner now!"

"Because we have no oil at home, I have reserved some fat meat, but it has already been refined into oil. I am weak, so I have reserved two bones for making soup. I am sure I cannot satisfy your request for two pounds of meat."

"After all, several hundred kilograms of wild boars have been given to the army. It shouldn't be too much for me to keep a few of them, right?"

As she spoke, she glanced at the crowd and added, "Of course, if you don't mind, I can also sell you half of the pig's offal."

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

There are only a few things left from a wild boar weighing several hundred kilograms. Of course, it is not much.

The old lady obviously didn't expect Gu Xiaoxi to say that, and she was a little worried for a moment.

Seeing that the old lady remained silent, Gu Xiaoxi continued, "If you don't believe me, you can go ask your Dahuzi. If you want some pig offal, I'll get it for you now. It's late at night, and my battalion commander Lu just came back from a mission. He's tired, so I think he's had his meal and is resting early."

Her words made it clear that she disliked the old lady for disturbing others' rest.

As soon as she said this, a sensible person quickly advised the old lady, "Actually, you can buy it at the canteen tomorrow. It won't cost you a little more time if you are hungry."

"That's right. It's really exhausting to make such a fuss over some meat in the middle of the night!"

The old lady felt that since she had come here, it would be too embarrassing to go back like this, so she said, "Then buy half of the pig's offal!"

When Gu Xiaoxi heard her say this, he immediately turned around and went into the house.

Lu Jiansen said softly: "I'll go get it!"

Gu Xiaoxi just shook his head and said, "You stay and talk to the others, I'll go get it!"

As she said that, she quickly walked into the kitchen.
