Chaoge's eyes lit up instantly when he heard this: "That's great, I just don't know what to do with this fur.
Brother Daqiang, thank you for your help. After I peel off the skin, you can take a leg of meat back first, and you can have a good meal tonight!
It's a pity that we don't have salt, so the meat won't taste that good when grilled."
The little pigeon was really naive. He just said that he wanted to help with the preparation of the fur, which was only a matter of effort, but she was so kind as to give him a leg of meat.
Daqiang was so stupid that he didn't know how to be grateful. While waiting for Chaoge to skin him, he swiftly helped on the side.
Seeing the sharp dagger in Chaoge's hand again, Daqiang was full of curiosity, but he didn't want to ask, so he continued to help silently.
"Hey, if you give me a wolf, I'll go to my house and give you some salt, okay?"
Zhou Hehua, who said she was there to help but actually didn't help at all, started rolling her eyes when she heard Chaoge's words, and instantly thought of this way to eat more meat.
"ah?"
Chaoge didn't expect that when salt was so precious in ancient times, Zhou Hehua actually said that their family had some extra?
What she didn't expect was that Zhou Hehua dared to say and do it. Before she could agree, Zhou Hehua turned around and went up the slope.
"Hey, don't bother with my sister.
I already ate one of your chicken legs last night, and you...”
Without waiting for Daqiang to finish speaking, Zhou Hehua ran to Chaoge with an oil-paper bag.
She spread out her hands, and there was about one or two ounces of salt in the oil paper bag.
Yellow and very rough!
“So many, is that enough?
I don’t have much left at home, little pigeon, can you just promise me?
You can't finish eating two wolves anyway, and you have to carry them on the road tomorrow, and they are very heavy, so why not give us one, and the salt will be yours."
"Well, are you sure about that?"
Chaoge was not interested in the wolf's meat. With Black Panther's hunting skills, she could have chosen to let Black Panther bring back pheasants and hares.
If they could exchange a wolf for some salt, it would be considered a good deal for them.
After all, if the body does not eat salt for a few days, the legs will become weak and powerless, and they are also sweating due to excessive travel every day, so salt is extremely precious.
Chaoge was naturally willing, but she was afraid that Zhou Hehua's family would not agree.
"Do your parents agree? Could it be that you, Hehua, made the decision on your own?
Although wolf meat is rare and precious, salt is also precious."
Chaoge had to be sure. She didn't want to let such a small matter affect the friendship between Uncle Dong and them, who were just a chance encounter.
"Don't worry, I've told my parents, and they agree.
Little pigeon, you agree, right? Just consider it as helping us. Actually, we don’t have much food left.
If we have this wolf, we can hold out for a few more days, right?"
As if afraid that Chaoge would be unwilling, Zhou Hehua pulled Chaoge's arm and shook it, begging in a coquettish manner.
When Zhou Daqiang heard his sister's unreasonable request, his face felt hot.
They wouldn't die without salt, but they would definitely starve to death without food. Besides, the little pigeon siblings had nothing to begin with, and they had to rely on foraging for food to survive until now.
Even if one wolf is not enough, the siblings can still hold on for ten days or half a month. Her sister's calculations are really good!
“Just take the little pigeon salt. Although this salt is precious, I still have enough for my family.
Don't take what Lotus just said seriously.
You are already short of food, and this wolf can provide you and your brother with food for several days. You can keep the wolf and take the salt as well."
After hearing Zhou Daqiang's words and seeing his sincere attitude, it was now the turn of Chaoge's siblings to feel embarrassed.
"No, no, no, let it be. Food is precious, and this salt is even more precious..."
Chaoge refused hastily, but before he could finish his words, another voice suddenly rang out: "Little pigeon, don't be polite to our family. You led us to dig so many yams. This salt is a token of gratitude to you.
Although we haven't eaten meat for a long time and He Hua is also greedy, we can't take advantage of you like this."
Zhang Shufen smiled widely, and her look moved Leng Furong very much. She felt that their family was lucky after the accident. Although they had suffered many setbacks in the middle, they had only met good people.
But Chaoge is an adult soul after all, so how could he not understand the implied meaning of Zhang Shufen's words?
If she really accepted the salt but didn't give the meat, Zhang Shufen would definitely be very unhappy!
She wouldn't be so blind...
"Aunt and Daqiang, you guys have taken great care of us. Not only is Hehua craving for meat, everyone would be craving for meat while fleeing famine.
Since we have got two wolves, it is our gratitude for your care along the way. You have to accept one no matter what.
Just don't tell your fellow villagers about it. You should say that you exchanged it for salt.
If anyone wants to eat wolf meat, they can exchange it for food.
We don’t ask for much, no matter what kind of food it is, two pounds of food for one pound of meat.”
Chaoge didn't want to owe Zhang Shufen anything. Zhang Shufen was not as generous as she seemed. As an adult soul, Chaoge had seen many human hearts and had long seen through Zhang Shufen's character.
As expected, Zhang Shufen did not refuse, and nodded happily: "Then I have to thank you!
By the way, I see you don’t have a pot, so why don’t I give you a clay pot.
Even though it's broken, if there's water, I don't have to just roast food, I can also cook it."
Zhang Shufen is worthy of being the daughter-in-law of the village chief Zhou Dong. She is very tactful.
He immediately thought of a way to make up for his greedy face, turned around and ran back to his own campfire, rummaged around and found a broken pottery jar, which he excitedly presented to Chaoge.
Seeing that the pottery jar only had a half-finger-long crack on the top, Chaoge didn't hesitate and accepted it directly.
Eating too much barbecued meat can easily cause getting a sore throat. Only if Leng Xiaoran, who is still young, can eat some meat at a time can his stomach tolerate it.
"This pottery jar is really nice. It was my dowry back then..."
"mother!"
Zhou Daqiang couldn't stand it anymore when he saw his sister and mother using a handful of coarse salt and a broken pottery jar to trick people from Chaoge into giving him the meat of a wolf.
Seeing that his mother was trying to make up some precious history for the pottery jar, this honest child felt too embarrassed to face her, and hurriedly called out "Mom" and interrupted Zhang Shufen!
Zhang Shufen was startled by the sudden interruption and glared at her son: "Why are you yelling? I'm talking to the little pigeon!
Forget it, little pigeon, get busy.
It is tiring to travel so fast. You should get ready early and eat early. After eating and resting, you will have the strength to continue traveling tomorrow."
