Yu Yue returned home with a smile, carrying cooked meat in her left hand and raw meat in her right. This was quite a haul. Although the wild boar wasn't very big, it was quite fat, with a large lump of white pork fat that looked delicious.
Yu Yue took it back to prepare to render the oil.
The remaining 100 jin of meat was sold to Old Zhang at 5 mao per jin, earning him 50 yuan.
Yu Yuehui originally intended to take twenty yuan for herself, and the remaining thirty yuan for the other two, with each of them taking fifteen yuan. However, the other two refused to take any of the money, and each of them only took five yuan.
In Yuehe's words, "We just followed you up the mountain and did so little work, and not only did we get meat, but you also want so much money from us. Are you even human?"
"The trap is yours. We're already being generous by taking a little meat. Now you want your money too? You're already shameless enough. If you take even more, are we even human?"
Seeing that she couldn't refuse any longer, Yu Yuehui listened to them.
Yu Yuehui originally wanted to give her brother five yuan to give to her mother, but after thinking about it, she decided against it and would give it to him herself tomorrow!
Xie Yan felt a pang of heartache upon hearing this! So much meat had been sold off!
And it's so cheap!
He saw them selling for eight or nine cents on the black market, and some even cost a dollar!
Aaaaaaah!
His flesh! His heart aches!
Selling it is easy, but buying it back is difficult!
But you can't blame Yuehui for this, after all, meat won't keep well in this weather!
Why not sell it and get some money!
But there are insurance options available for thank-you banquets!
His space can hold as much meat as you want!
Xie Yan sighed deeply. He was now in a dilemma: should he tell his wife that he not only had a huge space, but also a space that could keep food fresh?
Wouldn't it be great if we could just tell them!
From now on, we won't have to worry about selling meat anymore!
Put it in your storage space first!
Thinking about his empty space, he felt exhausted!
But if I tell him, he'll panic! He'll be scared!
Should I tell my wife or not?
This is a problem!
Xie Yan was giving me a real headache.
He lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed), staring at the dark roof beams.
Should I tell or not?
In fact, Xie Yan trusts his wife a lot now, and believes that even if she knows he has a private space, she won't say anything.
We'll keep it a secret for him!
I will absolutely not let a third person know.
But he was just panicking! The longer this secret is kept, the harder it becomes to reveal it!
It seems like once I speak out, I'm no longer safe!
Xie Yan is fundamentally insecure, especially when it comes to something as special as space.
Once the secret is leaked, who can guarantee that he won't be dissected and studied!
But if I don't say anything, Xie Yan's heart aches just thinking about all that meat!
Xie Yan struggled with whether or not to tell Yu Yue about this for a whole day, and still hadn't figured it out by evening!
I casually picked a flower, and Xie Yan started acting like a primary school student: "Say something?" "No..."
When all the petals are gone, the last one is...
He took a breath and slowly made his way to the kitchen.
Yu Yuehui was cutting meat, preparing to render oil for the evening. The smell during the day was still too strong; someone would definitely smell it. Not to mention others, even that old woman in front of us—if she smelled it, she would definitely come over with a big bowl, and she wouldn't be able to get rid of it no matter what.
If you can't find it, just rummage around everywhere!
This kind of person is really annoying, and she's old too, so you can't just beat her up!
It was fine at night; everyone was asleep, and the smell dissipated by dawn! It was very safe.
Xie Yan walked over, looked around, and saw it was all fat! "Wife, why don't you cut some lean meat too? I really like this kind of sauce made from rendered fat, cut more of it."
Make me some later, I want to eat some!
Seeing that Yu Yuehui nodded, Xie Yan walked to the sausage casings that had already been processed and were being soaked. He stood there for a while before finally making up his mind, "Wife!"
Yu Yue turned around, thinking that something had happened to him.
Then she saw a whole bowl of sausages disappear right in front of her!
They really disappeared right under her nose.
Yu Yuehui's eyes trembled with shock, "This...this!"
Xie Yan calmly released it again.
After going back and forth several times, Yu Yuehui finally realized what was going on!
She looked at Xie Yan in disbelief!
The ghost stories she heard as a child all flashed through her mind. Could her man be a monster?
But after the founding of the People's Republic of China, weren't monsters not allowed to become spirits?
But it couldn't be a ghost!
Ghosts cannot be exposed to sunlight!
Then it can only be a monster!
Could it be a monster that became a spirit before the founding of the People's Republic of China?
Then... then... then... then is he very old?!
No wonder I don't like to exercise and prefer to lie down every day, it turns out I'm getting old!
No, wait! Aren't monsters supposed to live for thousands of years?
If he truly became a spirit before the founding of the People's Republic of China, then he would be at most a little over a hundred years old.
So he must be very young, equivalent to a teenager in their human world?
Yu Yuehui secretly glanced at Xie Yan and saw him smiling at her. In an instant, Yu Yuehui blushed.
I wonder if this monster can hear her thoughts!
Bah! What monster? He's her man. Who cares if he's a monster or not? As long as he comes home with her, he's her man.
Xie Yan had no idea that his wife had just thought of him as a monster; he thought she had figured it out.
He pretended nothing had happened, saying, "Next time you have something good, don't just think about selling it for money. You can bring it back, or you can take me with you. We can store the good stuff away and enjoy it slowly!"
"This meat! It's very expensive to buy outside!"
"We need to save up more food for winter!"
Yu Yuehui understood and asked in shock, "Won't it break?"
Then it dawned on me that monsters must all have magic powers, so preventing the meat from spoiling was a piece of cake.
Xie Yan coughed twice and raised his head. "Of course it won't spoil! It's kept fresh, it'll last no matter how long! It won't spoil."
Yu Yue's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, "I understand. Don't worry, I'll bring back anything good for you."
"Especially the meat!"
She was now certain that her man was a carnivorous monster. After thinking for a moment, she still said, "Use it as little as possible! And no one else can know about it except me!"
After all, it takes a lot of effort for a demon to cultivate into human form, and it's best to use demonic power sparingly. What if there really is a department that specializes in capturing demons and they notice the demonic power he uses and get arrested?
Where will she go to rescue him then?
Xie Yan had no idea how far his wife had already thought. He thought she was afraid of being discovered and wanted him to use it less, so he smiled and said, "It's okay, I don't use it much usually, and when I do, I'm very careful. Only you know."
Now Yu Yuehui was even more certain that her man really was a monster! It seemed her responsibility had increased from now on; she had to protect him!
Yu Yue smiled and nodded, "Remember this! Protect yourself."
