After eating two large bowls of dumplings, Chen Wang took a hot bath and went back to his room to sleep.
I slept until I woke up naturally. It was already past three in the afternoon.
Lin Xiuqin went to the kitchen in the back room and brought him a large bowl of still hot food.
After she and the little girl finished their meal at noon, they left a bowl of rice in the pot to keep warm.
Chen Wang took the bowl and started eating, then asked vaguely, "Where's Xiaoyu?"
Lin Xiuqin pointed outside the window, meaning that she was going out to play.
Chen Wang swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "After dinner, let's go to Master's house to see if there is anything we can help with."
Lin Xiuqin smiled and nodded.
While eating dumplings in the morning, Chen Wang told her about his gains last night, which surprised her greatly.
After eating and drinking, the two went out together and headed for the master's house.
When I arrived at the master's house, I saw several villagers coming out.
When they saw Chen Wang, several people greeted him warmly.
"Awang, you're here. You two can beat the leopard. That's awesome!"
"Awang Awang, please sell me some leopard bones to make wine!"
“I want two, too.”
…
"You all want to buy leopard bones?"
Chen Wang asked in surprise.
Several people nodded repeatedly.
Many of these mountain people who work all year round suffer from chronic diseases such as rheumatism and arthritis, which are very tormenting when it rains.
Leopard bone wine has the effect of dispelling wind and activating blood circulation, strengthening bones and tendons, and is very effective for rheumatism and muscle and bone pain.
"We'll talk about it after we're done. We'll also want some for ourselves, and some for friends and relatives. If there are any extras, we'll sell them to everyone."
Chen Wang smiled and evaded the question.
There is no shortage of people who want this kind of good thing. He doesn't care about Chen Dazhuang's half, and he will definitely not sell his half to the villagers.
A few people also heard the rejection in his words, thanked him with a bit of disappointment and left.
When Chen Wang and his wife walked into the house, they saw Chen Dazhuang eating noodles from a bowl.
“Here it comes!”
"Well, where's the Master?"
Chen Wang asked with a smile.
"Still busy in the back room!"
Chen Dazhuang nodded towards the back room.
"Let's go help."
Chen Wang took his wife to the back room.
When they arrived at the back room, they saw the master sitting next to a large basin of water with leopard bones in it. Chen Jianjun was holding a small knife, carefully picking the tendons and flesh from the leopard bones.
After the tendons are completely cleaned, they are placed in a cool and dry place to dry naturally before they can be used to make wine or sold.
On the shelf behind the master, several cleaned and processed wolf skins and leopard skins were hung.
"Master, we are here to help you."
Chen Wang chuckled and shouted.
Chen Jianjun looked up at them, smiled and said, "No, it's not a big deal."
"It would be better if we had two more people to finish it quickly."
Chen Wang looked around and found two bamboo stools. He walked over, picked up the stools and placed them next to the basin.
"Master, do you have any more knives?"
"Yes, over there at the stove."
"Okay, I'll get it!"
After getting two knives, Chen Wang handed one to his wife, and then they sat together to process the tendons and flesh on the leopard bones.
"I have prepared the hedgehog's skin, heart and liver, and boiled the badger's fat into oil. These are all valuable for medicinal purposes. You can sell them to Doctor Zhang. He is often short of medicine."
Chen Jianjun suggested.
Chen Wang carefully scraped the tendons on the leopard bones with a knife, nodded and said, "I also have a leopard gallbladder, I'll take it to Doctor Zhang later."
"What are you going to do with this leopard bone? It's a rare treasure. Many people in the village want it. I have already helped you reject several waves of people."
Chen Jianjun asked.
"I want to keep some for myself, and for Da Hu's previous owner. I promised to bring him some good things. Then there are also some for my father-in-law and two brothers-in-law. After all the calculations, there is not much left."
Chen Wang smiled helplessly.
"Dad, we don't have much, so don't be stupid and sell it."
Chen Dazhuang also came to the back room and said seriously.
"I know, I know."
Chen Jianjun agreed unhappily.
"I'm serious. You have a bit of rheumatism yourself. You might not be able to get this thing in the future. Don't let someone in the village say a few nice words and you'll be soft-hearted and agree to sell it to him. I won't agree to that."
"Alright, I've said I know, you keep nagging me, you deserve a beating, right?"
After these words were spoken, Chen Dazhuang dared not say a word and buried his head in eating.
Chen Wang and Lin Xiuqin looked at each other and saw the smiles in each other's eyes.
When three people work together, the efficiency is much higher.
After about an hour, all the leopard bones were processed. The master found some newspapers and put them on the ground next to the wall. He placed the leopard bones on them one by one and waited for them to dry naturally.
Chen Wang took half of the badger meat and hedgehog meat. There were only a few pounds of badger meat, not to mention the hedgehog, which weighed less than a pound.
However, according to the master, both types of meat are delicious and good for the human body.
It just so happened that my wife was pregnant and needed to supplement with a variety of nutrients.
In addition, Chen Wang also took some wolf meat and leopard meat. The master said that these things were not delicious, but it was good to try something new.
The leopard meat roasted in the cave tastes somewhat similar to beef, without any fat. It is firmer than beef and has no strange smell.
It’s not very delicious, but it’s not bad either.
When I got home, I saw the little girl sitting at the door, eating a handful of melon seeds.
The three dogs squatted beside her and watched her eating melon seeds, thinking they were eating something delicious and were extremely greedy.
"Brother, sister-in-law, where have you been?"
Seeing the two men coming back, the little girl hurriedly stood up and asked.
"I went to Master's house."
Chen Wang replied with a smile.
"Brother, what kind of meat did you get?"
"This is badger meat, wolf meat, and leopard meat."
"Wow, I've never eaten this before, is it delicious?"
"When it's cooked, you'll know when you taste it."
Chen Wang said with a smile.
After putting several kinds of meat at home, Chen Wang found a cloth bag and put the hedgehog skin, hedgehog heart, liver, badger oil, etc. given by his master into it, and finally put the leopard gall in it.
I went out again and went all the way to the village clinic.
"Doctor Zhang, are you home?"
Chen Wang shouted.
"Yes, come in!"
Doctor Zhang's voice came from inside.
Chen Wang stepped into the room and saw Doctor Zhang taking the pulse of an old woman.
Dr. Zhang's wife, He Guifen, was sitting not far away weaving a net.
"Awang, you're here!"
He Guifen greeted with a smile.
Chen Wang responded and said, "I got some things that can be used as medicine and brought them to Doctor Zhang."
"What good stuff are there?"
Doctor Zhang looked at him and asked with a smile.
