Chapter 100: Slaughtering the Sheep
Yu Duoduo immediately stood up and asked the people outside to come into the house quickly. He handed out oranges, apples and dates picked from the back mountain to everyone.
I described to everyone exactly what happened today.
Then he took everyone to see the black goats piled up like a mountain in the next room.
They had heard Xie Yun talk about it on the way here, and when they actually saw the real thing, they couldn't help but applaud excitedly.
"Duoduo, you and Brother Yun are so brave!"
After listening to Yu Duoduo's narration, Tong Zi couldn't help but sigh, "That's a gun! If it pops out, it can be taken away by you!"
Yu Duoduo smiled and said, "Thank you two for the crossbows. Otherwise, we would not be a match for those people!"
Tong Zi also laughed, "Oh~ I blush when you say that, but it's not given by me, this is called barter!"
Then, Tong Zi described to Yu Duoduo in vivid detail the scenes of the official public trial that he saw today at the entrance of the market. He said that more than a dozen ringleaders of rape and looting were tied up on the spot, with black cloth hooded over their heads, and shot. That scene was so satisfying!
"What about the others?" Xie Yun suddenly asked.
"The rest of the people were sent to other places to help the government salvage supplies. Now that prisons everywhere have been flooded, there is no place to detain prisoners, so they have to do hard labor.
But I heard that this is a hard, tiring and potentially life-threatening job. The water in various places is getting deeper and deeper, and it is said that many people have had their lungs exploded on the spot!" Tong Zi replied.
"Has the official explained what to do with the various supplies they stole?" Yu Duoduo asked.
"Well, the authorities said that the materials they looted will be stored in the official warehouse and used to supply relief food to Hui City..."
“No one stood up to object?”
Since Yu Duoduo could see so much food, cigarettes, alcohol, dry goods, and even high-end jewelry in the house of Lu Yi, who was just a minion, the leaders must have more supplies, definitely not just a little food.
Tong Zi shook his head. "That gang was too ruthless. Almost all the people who were robbed by them died. Even if they didn't die, they went crazy. They were not the victims, so how could they stand up and challenge the authorities..."
After she finished speaking, she stole a glance in Minan's direction, afraid of touching her sore spot.
Fortunately, Minan had completely let it go and didn't care much about what Tong Zi said. She even nodded. After all, Yu Duoduo helped her avenge her on the spot.
After talking for a while, when their clothes were almost dry, they started to work.
Several people were discussing how to divide the work of slaughtering so many goats. After all, among all the people present, only Tong Zi was good at this.
Just the idea of skinning was enough to stump everyone.
Tong Zi demonstrated a standard method of skinning and slaughtering animals to everyone, hoping that everyone would learn from her. This would speed up the slaughtering process and avoid her having to slaughter more than 60 animals by herself...
Although she was very fast and skilled, she didn't want to spend a whole day and night on it!
"Look, to skin the lamb, first you have to tie the lamb leg with a rope and hang it upside down on the door.
Then use a sharp dagger to cut a small piece of skin from the ankle area of the lamb leg.
Then just scrape along the muscle lines of the lamb leg and peel it off with your hands!
The other three legs are peeled the same way... After the legs are peeled, the body of the sheep is peeled. That's it! "
Everyone stared at Tong Zi, and she peeled off the sheepskin with just a tug of her hand. It looked so easy and smooth! Just like peeling a banana!
Everyone was so excited that they were eager to try it out. They hung the lamb legs on the wall and started to skin them.
As expected...I can learn it when I see it, but I fail when I try it!
The lamb leg was torn apart like it was chewed by a dog. It was unbearable to watch...
Only Xie Yun, a surgeon, slowly peeled off a complete leg of lamb, but the speed was so fast that even a turtle would shake his head!
There is no way. The teaching has failed. Without repeated practice for half a year or a year, I am afraid it would be impossible to make it as smooth and silky as hers.
The responsibility of skinning fell back on Tong Zi alone, and the rest of them—
Xie Yun was responsible for cutting open the sheep's stomach, pouring out the offal, and cleaning out the internal organs.
Yu Duoduo was responsible for taking apart the large parts of the sheep, such as the head, legs, back, stomach, etc., and putting them together.
Wei Dong and Min Nan were responsible for chopping the large pieces into small pieces for easy packaging and pickling.
Five people worked for a whole night to skin, split, cut and chop all the sheep, and blisters formed on their hands.
They did not dare to stop to rest, as they were afraid that the meat would go bad if they delayed too much time. So they quickly loaded the skin, meat and bones of the slaughtered animals onto the boat and transported all the meat back to the apartment building before dawn.
Each family had a rubber boat, plus the wooden boat taken from the criminals, a total of five boats, just enough to put down the slaughtered and cut mutton.
On the way back, several boats were tied together and moved forward, and the three girls continued to chat together.
"Sister Duoduo, you may not know this yet, but the authorities have announced that starting this week, the amount of food distributed per person per week will be reduced from 3 kilograms to 2 kilograms.
Because there are so many people pouring into Hui City, the authorities may be unable to bear it anymore.
There is no other food supplement, and 3 kilograms of food a week is not enough. Now it has been reduced to 2 kilograms a week. I am afraid I will have to eat porridge for every meal!
Fortunately, we have some food in stock, otherwise we would have starved!" Minan sighed.
Tong Zi continued, "It's hard to say. Now even the government has become stingy in distributing food. Is this an early warning that this natural disaster will not end in the short term?"
Since they had already noticed it, Yu Duoduo had no choice but to give them a finishing touch:
"Maybe, just as you expected, the end of the world has really come. Even the government can't cope with it and is thinking about cutting back on spending!"
Tong Zi nodded in agreement!
"Duoduo, don't tell me, I think it's true! Today, the three of us watched the public trial and went to the market to buy some food. The price of food is ridiculously high now!
The 20,000 yuan in cash that Dongdong and I had was only enough to buy a 100-jin bag of rice! Money is worthless now. What do you think the government wants to do? "
Yu Duoduo was shocked after hearing this. Has the price of goods risen to this extent? Then she had to spend the money in her hand as soon as possible, otherwise it would all be thrown away! Recently, she was only busy looking for supplies and had no time to spend money...
"What about the price of salt? What is the current price of sealed bags of iodized salt?"
