After Liu Chengfeng intimidated the Fang family, the remaining villagers who wanted to take advantage of the situation didn't dare to cause trouble.
Liu Chengfeng invited Jiang Tangtang to oversee the distribution of the meat.
Jiang Tangtang wasn't interested in doing math problems, so she just let him make the decision. She could also take this opportunity to see if Liu Chengfeng could pass the test.
Liu Chengfeng is a knowledgeable and resourceful businessman.
They definitely have some skills.
He did not divide the pork equally.
Instead, the pork was distributed based on how bravely one fought the wild boar that day. The one who contributed the most received the most pork.
Those who contribute less labor will naturally receive less pork.
Although Jiang Tangtang did not participate in the wild boar hunt, she led the way, and it was because of her that they found the nest of wild boars.
So she also got the lion's share.
As for the villagers from Dawancun who came to help slaughter the pigs, although they did not receive any meat, Liu Chengfeng announced that the bones of the three wild boars slaughtered today would be stewed in a large pot and distributed to everyone.
The remaining pig lungs, intestines, stomach, and other offal were also shared among the families who had contributed to the labor after the food was prepared.
After making the announcement, Liu Chengfeng didn't forget to speak well of Jiang Tangtang, implying that it was all Jiang Tangtang's arrangement for her to do this.
The villagers were filled with gratitude towards Jiang Tangtang.
The bones from three wild boars could make several large pots of soup. If Jiang Tangtang hadn't led people to hunt the wild boars, they wouldn't have any bones to eat today. What do they have to complain about?
Besides, after this meal, we can have another meal with the pig offal.
Although it's pig offal and smells bad, it's still oily and juicy!
Normally, we could only have this meal when the year was good and a pig was slaughtered for the New Year. No one complained about the pig's offal, and no one thought there was anything wrong with the way it was distributed.
The families who were assigned pig bones and pig offal all thought Jiang Tangtang was generous and open-minded, and they all spoke highly of her.
Jiang Tangtang didn't care whether the villagers were grateful or resentful.
She started thinking about how to cook wild boar meat.
The Lu family, along with Lu Shichang and Li Shi and others, received a total of half a pig.
Liu Chengfeng also handed his meat to Jiang Tangtang, letting her make arrangements. Seeing that their leader had given the meat to Jiang Tangtang, the men Liu Chengfeng brought also spontaneously returned their meat to the Lu family.
So, in the end, there were three wild boars. Apart from the portion that Song Chaoyang and Shi Dali took, the rest were basically all left in the Lu family.
This is equivalent to handing over grain to the Lu family and sharing meals with them. Now, Liu Chengfeng and his group are like Li Shi and his friends, somewhat sharing the fate of the Lu family.
There's nothing wrong with eating them together.
The Lu family had no objections.
So Jiang Tangtang asked Zhou Qiongniang to bring out some rice and cook it into porridge with pork.
They cooked the broth made from pork bones with wild vegetables they picked in the afternoon, along with slices of lean meat.
Although it was simple, it tasted very delicious.
The entire valley was filled with a rich aroma. Those who got to cook pork bones were better off, as they could cook wild vegetables and dried food together with the pork bones.
Moreover, when the pork was being cut, the meat on the large bones wasn't completely removed, so everyone was able to get a couple of bites of meat.
But the Fang family and a few other families who spoke ill of Jiang Tangtang were saddened. They could only inhale the fragrance in the air and then pluck a handful of wild grass to chew.
As Lu Cuilan chewed on wild grass, she glared hatefully at Jiang Tangtang, wishing she could chew her up and eat her.
Jiang Tangtang was about to eat a bowl of meat porridge when she suddenly sensed something and turned her head away.
Lu Cuilan was startled by her movement, thinking that her inner cursing had been discovered, and quickly hid to the side.
Jiang Tangtang didn't know that Lu Cuilan was scolding her. She was just wondering why Lu Shiyan hadn't returned yet. Could he have gone down the cliff to get honey? So she turned her head and glanced in the direction of the cliff.
To her surprise, as she turned her head, she saw Lu Shiyan jumping down from a big tree while holding a large jar.
He was very fast, and arrived in front of Jiang Tangtang in the blink of an eye.
He was carrying a large earthenware jar, covered with several taro leaves. Before even lifting the leaves, Jiang Tangtang could smell the aroma of honey emanating from the jar.
She was overjoyed and forgot all about him and how she had inexplicably fainted.
She handed him the bowl in a sweet and ingratiating tone, "Husband, this is the porridge I served you. It's cooled down now, so it's just right to eat. Please try it."
The moment she opened her mouth, Lu Shiyan felt that his cold shower today had been a complete waste.
His chest was churning with blood and qi, and all the blood in his body rushed uncontrollably downwards, converging in one place, instantly creating a powerful and overwhelming force.
He straightened up and said expressionlessly, "I'm not hungry yet, you eat first."
By the light of the fire and the moonlight, Jiang Tangtang had not yet noticed anything unusual about him. She leaned closer, puzzled, and asked, "You've been running around all day, how come you're not hungry?"
Seeing her approach, Lu Shiyan immediately took a step back.
Jiang Tangtang had completely forgotten about her sudden fainting by the river. But seeing him now, she instantly remembered and demanded an explanation, "Were you avoiding me?"
"No, I was just worried you'd spill the porridge in your bowl." Lu Shiyan had a bit of a headache, and seeing the jar in his hand, he quickly tried to distract her. "The honeycomb and honey are in the jar, what are we going to do with them?"
When Luo Taohua saw Lu Shiyan return, she brought over a bowl of lean meat porridge to please him. Upon hearing Lu Shiyan's words, she exclaimed excitedly, "Honey? Third brother, you brought back honey?"
"I stumbled upon this place by chance when I was picking herbs, so I brought some back in this jar," Lu Shiyan said, placing the jar on a flat surface.
"Third brother is really amazing." Luo Taohua handed over the bowl, but Lu Shiyan took the bowl from Jiang Tangtang first and thanked her in a low voice.
Luo Taohua muttered to herself, "So sticky! Who doesn't have the same porridge? Why does he insist on eating the one his wife gave him?"
But he gave a knowing smile, winked at Jiang Tangtang, and handed her the bowl, saying, "Then, sister-in-law, you eat this bowl. I won't bother you any longer, I'll be going now."
Before she left, she took one last, reluctant look at the jar on the ground.
But thinking that the honey wouldn't run away, and that it was more important to go back and grab the porridge, he quickened his pace.
Jiang Tangtang glanced at Lu Shiyan, then sat down on a wooden post and slowly began to eat her meat porridge.
Lu Shiyan, however, seemed to be in a hurry, picking up the porridge and drinking it immediately. After finishing the porridge in a few bites, he turned around, grabbed the empty water bag, and headed towards the cave.
He carried the water bag and ran back and forth between the cave and the valley. He not only filled all the water bags used by the Lu family, but also helped many families who had no laborers or who had a good relationship with the Lu family to fetch water.
Jiang Tangtang rested her chin on her hand, watching him move with the speed of the wind, and had a moment of doubt.
Isn't this man's energy a bit too much?
