After putting the things away, Chen Wang directly cut about ten kilograms of bear meat for Zhao Youfu.
It was impossible to give them mutton. He and Chen Dazhuang could only get 20 to 30 kilograms each, which was not enough for their own family.
Zhao Youfu was also very content. He didn't even specify which part he wanted. He just kept thanking after receiving the meat.
"Then I'll go back first. I have to get to work!"
After saying that, Zhao Youfu turned around and left with the meat.
Chen Wentao just happened to walk in and passed him by.
The two of them didn't have much interaction with each other. They just glanced at each other but didn't say hello.
Chen Wentao glanced down at the bear meat in his hand, a gloomy look in his eyes.
Inside the house, Chen Wang and his friend were discussing whether to divide the meat first or take it to the town to sell it together later.
"Uncle Tao."
Seeing Chen Wentao coming in, Chen Wang greeted him with some surprise.
"Awang, you killed another black bear. You two are awesome!"
Chen Wentao glanced at the pile of bear meat on the ground and praised with surprise.
"Good luck."
Chen Wang smiled, then ignored him, looked at Chen Dazhuang and said, "There's not much mutton here, so just divide it up and take it back to eat slowly. As for the bear meat, do you want some? If you do, give some to each of you. We can take the rest to the town to sell later."
"Can."
Chen Dazhuang nodded and agreed.
"Then take care of the sheep, pheasants, rabbits, etc., so that your wife won't have to work so hard."
Chen Jianjun made a suggestion.
Lin Xiuqin, who was standing nearby, heard this and waved her hand with a smile, indicating that it was okay for her to clean up the mess herself.
"Then hurry up, we still have to go cook for the workers!"
Chen Dazhuang urged.
"Then I'll go get some water."
Chen Wang looked at Chen Wentao and said, "Uncle, I'll go to your house to get some water."
"Ah? Oh, sure, go ahead!"
Chen Wentao came back to his senses and nodded repeatedly with a smile.
Chen Wang seemed to be thinking about something, but didn't say much. He went out to get a bucket from the shed and went to fetch water next door.
After fetching water, Chen Wang and the other two skinned and plucked the goats, pheasants and rabbits, and then gutted them.
The goats' offal was also cleaned and kept, which was just right for making goat offal soup for the workers.
The little girl also went to help, bringing salt to pickle several pheasants and rabbits.
There were no refrigerators in those days, and if the meat was not preserved by pickling and air-drying, it would quickly go bad.
Chen Wentao watched from the side for a long time, and seeing that Chen Wang had no intention of giving him the meat, he went back without saying a word.
"Brother, what has uncle been doing here all this time?"
The little girl watched him enter the next room and asked in confusion.
Chen Wang smiled and said nothing.
"Waiting for your brother to send him some meat!"
Chen Dazhuang grinned and answered bluntly.
"Why give him meat?"
The little girl looked at Chen Dazhuang with an even more confused expression.
Chen Dazhuang shrugged and said with a playful smile: "Just ask him."
The little girl looked back at the next door and pretended to be ready to go over.
"Okay, Zhuang Ge is just teasing you, don't go."
Chen Wang stopped her with amusement.
The little girl frowned and looked at her sister-in-law.
Lin Xiuqin also smiled and shook her head.
"Ha ha……"
Chen Dazhuang couldn't help laughing. He picked up the large porcelain bowl of mutton offal and said, "Then we'll go back first. I'll bring you this bowl tomorrow. If you want some mutton offal soup, come over later."
"Yes, Awang, come to our house for dinner later."
Chen Jianjun also invited him.
"No, Master, we won't go today."
Chen Wang smiled and waved.
Chen Jianjun did not force it. He took the 20 kilograms of mutton and went back with Chen Dazhuang.
"Mutton offal soup, I want to drink it."
The little girl looked at the two people walking away and said with eager eyes.
"Then go and bring back a bowl later."
Chen Wang suggested with a smile.
"OK!"
The little girl pecked the little head.
Chen Wang raised his wrist to check the time and found that it was almost five o'clock. He stretched and asked, "Wife, what are we going to eat tonight?"
Lin Xiuqin looked at the mutton and the marinated pheasant and rabbit next to her and made a gesture.
"Hot pot? Yes, I haven't eaten hot pot for a long time. It's OK."
Chen Wang nodded in agreement.
"I want to eat hot pot, too."
The little girl cheered.
"Then I'll cut the meat, Xiaoyu, go pick some vegetables from the garden, and wife, go prepare the pot and seasonings."
Chen Wang assigned the work.
"I'll go right away, Ruyi, Daheidahu, let's go pick some vegetables!"
The little girl happily agreed, called a few dogs, and ran to the homestead in a hurry.
The family who rented the house only came back during the Chinese New Year and did not grow any vegetables.
Chen Wang and Lin Xiuqin also divided the work and started working.
The sky gradually darkened.
The power went out again at night.
But he was used to it. Chen Wang lit two candles, set up a hot pot on the eight-immortals table in the main hall, and placed plates of cut meat and vegetables on the table.
The family of three sat around the table, eating hot pot under the candlelight and enjoying the meal.
The little girl also brought over a large bowl of mutton soup, and the three of them each shared a bowl.
After taking a big bite of the boiled vegetables and meat dipped in seasoning, and then taking a sip of the delicious mutton offal soup, all three of them had satisfied smiles on their faces.
