Although the road down the mountain is easy to walk on, walking at night is still different from walking during the day.
It was around four or five in the morning when the group returned to Xiangyang Brigade under the moonlight.
It was still dark and the members of the brigade were still asleep. Apart from the occasional barking of dogs, the chirping of cicadas in the trees and the croaking of frogs in the fields, everything was quiet.
"He Ting and I killed this wild animal. We'll take half of the money from selling it on the black market, and the rest will be divided equally among the people who came up the mountain with us. Is that okay?"
Back at the clinic where Lu Baiwei and He Ting lived, Tang Yuanliang talked about the distribution method of wild game.
Apart from going up the mountain together, no one else contributed to hunting the wild boar. It was good enough for those who saw it to have a share, and it was in accordance with the rules.
No one has any objection.
Tang Yuanliang continued to make arrangements: "Before dawn, He Ting and I will set off to the black market in the county town. The others will go back to their homes. Lingling will stay to accompany Weiwei. That's it."
It was not convenient for Zhou Yanfeng to go back to the educated youth camp at this time, so Tang Yuanliang thought about it and instructed his second brother Tang Yuanyang.
"It's not good to keep Weiwei here, Zhou Zhiqing, take her home to live."
After sending the man away, Tang Yuanliang went home, rode his father's bicycle, took the cut wild boar meat, and headed to the county town with He Ting.
When Lu Baiwei and Tang Yunling took a nap until noon, He Ting and Tang Yuanliang returned from the county town.
"Pork is sold at 60 cents a pound on the black market, a total of 90 yuan. He Ting and I will take half, 45 yuan, so each of us will get 22.5 yuan."
"The remaining forty-five is divided among the six of you, seven dollars and fifty cents apiece."
"He Ting's twenty-two dollars and fifty cents, plus your seven dollars and fifty cents, Weiwei, your total is thirty dollars."
He Ting took the thirty yuan and gave it to Lu Baiwei, saying that Lu Baiwei would be in charge of the money. This made Tang Yuanliang more satisfied with his brother-in-law.
If the previous impression of He Ting was 80 points, now add 10 points, it is already 90 points.
The rest is kept very carefully to prevent him from becoming proud.
After all, the brother-in-law loves his sister, so he should continue to work hard.
This time when we went up the mountain to collect herbs, several cousins helped.
Lu Baiwei received the thirty yuan from selling the wild boar and discussed with Tang Yuanliang the distribution of the price of the medicinal materials.
"Brother Liang, when my herbs are ready to sell, we'll split the profits this way, too."
"That's not necessary. We went up the mountain to get some food to satisfy our hunger. Helping you dig herbs is just a side job."
Tang Yuanliang waved his hand at Lu Baiwei and suggested, "Weiwei, if you feel bad, cook something delicious and invite us to have a meal as a reward for helping you dig for Fritillaria."
Tang Yuanliang felt that catching a big wild boar was an unexpected gain, and refused to take the money for helping Lu Baiwei collect herbs.
However, Lu Baiwei felt that it was what she deserved since she went up the mountain together to help collect herbs.
She had already decided in her heart that in order to make up for those who had been good to her in this life, she had to help her cousins from her uncle's family become rich.
Anyway, it’s not that fast to prepare the medicinal materials, so she has to go up the mountain before going to the county town to sell them.
When the time comes, we can calculate how much money each person will get after we sell the medicine.
As for preparing delicious food, the offal from the wild boar killed last night was brought down the mountain and has not been processed yet.
Lu Baiwei simply said to Tang Yuanliang: "Brother Liang, go home and rest first. When you wake up, come to my house for dinner in the evening."
"I'll get those pig offal from yesterday ready and make some snacks for you tonight."
To be honest, it's hard to eat meat these days. My stomach lacks oil and water. Once I have eaten the dishes cooked by Lu Baiwei, I will never forget them.
Tang Yuanliang had an endless aftertaste for the wedding banquet of Lu Baiwei and He Ting.
Hearing that he could eat Lu Baiwei's cooking again, Tang Yuanliang immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll go home and take a rest, and wait for you to cook in the evening."
Tang Yuanliang never knew that his cousin’s cooking was so delicious.
It’s amazing to eat once!
Thinking that he would be able to eat Lu Baiwei’s food in the evening, Tang Yuanliang went home with a satisfied look on his face.
If Lu Baiwei knew what her cousin was thinking, she would say how could it not be delicious? After all, she made her fortune by cooking in her previous life with Yin Zhihe.
Good cooking skills are ingrained in my bones.
In this life, she must give back to her family with her cooking skills.
He Ting went to catch up on his sleep, while Lu Baiwei and Tang Yunling began to process the pig offal.
Pork liver, pig heart, pig lung, pig blood, and pig pancreas do not require much processing. Cut off the white part with the fishy smell from the pig kidneys and soak them in salt water to remove the odor.
Pig intestines and stomachs are a bit troublesome to handle.
Lu Baiwei and Tang Yunling smeared some burned wood ashes on the surface and squatted by the stream to wash.
"Sister, where did you get the pig stomach and intestines?"
Tang Yunling was imagining what the pig offal cooked by Lu Baiwei would taste like when he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from above the bridge.
Lu Baiwei also looked up and saw that the people standing there were Lu Jiaojiao and Yin Zhihe.
The two of them stared at Lu Baiwei and Tang Yunling washing the pig stomachs and intestines, and Lu Jiaojiao even swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"What does it have to do with you where it came from?"
"Lu Jiaojiao, didn't you sue Yin Zhihe for being a hooligan?"
Tang Yunling defended Lu Baiwei and said, "Oh, the hooligans were arrested and taken to the police station. Is Yin Zhihe released from the cage?"
Yin Zhihe had a dark face.
Lu Jiaojiao denied that she had accused Yin Zhihe of being a hooligan: "What nonsense are you talking about? I never accused Zhihe. Someone was jealous of me and Zhihe and went to the commune to complain about us behind our backs."
"Brother Zhihe and his sisters found someone to rescue him. I also went to the police station to testify that Brother Zhihe and I were engaged and in a free relationship. The police knew that they had wronged Brother Zhihe and asked him to come home."
"Oh, the police are wrongly accusing him?"
Tang Yunling is good at being sarcastic, she is simply Lu Baiwei's substitute.
"Weiwei, have you heard of this? It turns out that free love is like hiding in a haystack and calling people to watch."
Yin Zhihe's face darkened even more.
Lu Jiaojiao insisted that it was not her who went to the commune to complain, it was a misunderstanding.
Originally, he believed Lu Jiaojiao.
Tang Yunling prompted him with a word, and he stared at Lu Jiaojiao suspiciously.
Yin Zhihe guaranteed at the Public Security Bureau that it was a free love relationship, and also promised to go to the commune tomorrow to get a marriage certificate. Anyway, Lu Jiaojiao's purpose of marrying Yin Zhihe had been achieved, and Yin Zhihe had no chance of getting rid of her.
Lu Jiaojiao was not in a hurry either. Compared to Yin Zhihe's dark face, she was more greedy for the pig stomach and pig intestines washed by Lu Baiwei.
"Sister, tomorrow Brother Zhihe and I are going to the commune to get our marriage certificate. As your elder sister, you should at least show some appreciation!"
"How about you cook the cleaned pig intestines and stomachs, and invite me and Brother Zhihe to your house for dinner tonight?"
Lu Jiaojiao's tone was full of boasting that she could marry Yin Zhihe.
Lu Baiwei could already imagine what Lu Jiaojiao's expression would be when she found out that the person he had tried so hard to marry was not good in that aspect.
Tang Yunling's three views were completely changed by Lu Jiaojiao's shamelessness.
She retorted on behalf of Lu Baiwei: "Okay, I'll give it to you."
"Really give it to me?"
Lu Jiaojiao was happy at the thought of having meat to eat.
Tang Yunling replied: "Yes, I'll give you a pile of pig shit to eat."
Tang Yunling didn't mind the dirtiness, so he dug out a piece of pig shit from the pig's stomach and intestines and threw it at Yin Zhi and Lu Jiaojiao who were standing on the bridge.
