"What's going on?"
"So, two young laborers have arrived, and you're bullying the children again?"
Cheng An, standing at the kitchen door, immediately retorted.
"No, it's because we don't want my sister to get tired. We can't be here, there's nothing we can do about it."
Since we're here, let her get some rest.
My mom said girls should be pampered.
"Ouch!"
Mingzhu was sour, and kept complaining.
"I know your little man is strong, aren't you just trying to make me jealous that I don't have a younger brother?"
Cheng An peeked his head into the house through the doorway, grinning sheepishly.
"Sister Zhuzhu, you can treat us like your younger brothers."
Besides, your little man has grown up too, hasn't he?
"Look, they even know to get you something nice to eat."
As Mingzhu lowered her head, her chubby son brought a few shelled sunflower seeds to his mouth. Before she could react, the little boy had shoved them all into her mouth.
Simplicity brings laughter.
"Absolutely! Our little Huizhou is such a sweetheart!"
"A warm-hearted man?"
Mingzhu didn't understand, but for some reason, she felt that the word was quite fitting at this moment.
"Hey? That word really suits you. Isn't he the epitome of a warm-hearted man? Isn't he our son?"
The child's chubby face was pinched into various shapes by his own mother, and he didn't dare to resist. In the end, Jian Dan couldn't bear to watch anymore and rescued him.
The three of them worked for most of the night and managed to get all three deer out.
Two large ones, each weighing around 200 pounds, after cleaning and removing the fur, internal organs, etc., can still leave about 130 to 140 pounds.
Including the smaller one, they collected a total of over 400 jin (approximately 200 catties) of meat, which filled several simple large basins.
When Lin Dongfang and his two children got up, their whole bodies were sore and weak.
"Look at all this meat, are you freezing it?"
Do you need it braised?
I'll separate them for you directly, so you don't have to do it yourself later.
Simple was startled awake in a daze and quickly got out of bed.
To be honest, the venison was delicious, especially tender.
Now that things have gone into the open, she doesn't need to find any excuses to stay any longer.
"I'll freeze a lot more, you can take some back with you."
Then tomorrow I'll make a pot of braised food and take it over for them to try.
Again,"
I scratched my head briefly; I was so sleepy my mind was a bit foggy.
"What else?"
She shouldn't test her relationships with others with this big piece of meat; it would be more appropriate to treat them to a meal instead.
"Didn't my brother say when he'd be back?"
She looked at her two exhausted younger brothers.
"How about we send some to my uncle tomorrow?"
"Could you send some over to your parents so they can try it too?"
Although she felt it was a bit far and that going through all this trouble was not a good idea, the two children's eyes lit up immediately, clearly indicating that she had spoken to their hearts.
"Really, sis? Won't this cause trouble?"
Even the usually composed Cheng An was somewhat tempted.
"Sister, is this okay?"
Seeing the two children's hesitant and uneasy expressions, Jian Dan felt bad and suddenly lost all interest.
With a wave of her little hand
"What's wrong with that?"
However, let's not tell the truth; I'm afraid it will scare them.
Lin Dongfang had already gotten the whole story out of the child, and he had also discovered some traces of the wolf coming down the mountain. Although he was surprised, he knew that anything could happen in this world.
Especially when applied to Jian Dan, it doesn't seem surprising at all.
He nodded in agreement.
"They're new here, and there's a lot of gossip going on. If they want to pass on things, fine, but don't spread rumors. If you want to say something, there will be plenty of opportunities later."
A simple nod.
"right.
However, is it okay to bring frozen meat directly?
Should we braise it first and then bring it over?
The novels she'd read all featured things like meat jerky and meat sauce, which she couldn't do now, but that didn't mean she couldn't learn.
There are no ready-made products in the space, but the tutorials and ingredients are all laid out in the room, so there's no worry about not having enough practice materials.
She can also change things up.
"Oh dear, don't worry about that. Let me tell you, whatever meat you bring, your second uncle and the others are new here, they won't eat it all themselves."
Besides, conditions there are terrible, the food is even worse than in the village. Do you think my second uncle and aunt could bear to lock themselves up and eat like that?
That's true.
No matter what happens, it's nothing compared to this brotherhood.
Cheng Zhuo is a passionate person, and this is something he's capable of doing.
Cheng Rui frowned.
"Aren't there mountains over there? Can't we go up the mountains to hunt?"
Of all the people in the room, Lin Dongfang was one of the few who knew a little about this topic.
“We do hunt occasionally, but in the dead of winter, the prey all go deep into the mountains. The snow there is twice as thick as here, so it’s even more impractical to go hunting in the mountains in this heavy snow.”
That's true. In the village, all the diligent families prepare enough firewood before winter, so they won't go into the mountains in this kind of weather.
In winter, there wasn't a single patch of green on the mountain; yes, many animals hibernated.
It's not impossible that those that don't hibernate, unable to find food, might rush down the mountain and wreak havoc on the village.
"Why!"
The young boy immediately frowned.
Are they really that pitiful?
Cheng An pursed her lips.
"In this season, it's pretty much the same everywhere. My sister has a lot of stuff and firewood here, which is because she's brave enough to go up the mountain."
There is nothing difficult in this world; the only problem is that people don't put their heart into it.
Since they've chosen that direction, they must adapt to that weather, environment, and lifestyle.
This time, we were able to send them some things thanks to my sister, but what about in the future? Won't they still have to rely on their own hard work?
As Brother Lin just said, even if they take this meat over, they can't possibly eat it themselves. Actually…
Cheng An pursed his lips and looked at Jian Dan.
"If you're willing, could you send these skeletons over as well?"
My mom is a doctor, and she said that bone broth is good for your health.
Deer are considered to have a warming effect, and their bones are especially valuable in the harsh climate of the border regions.
She simply opened her mouth, thinking the child wanted her to bring more meat, but she was being narrow-minded.
She turned around and exchanged a glance with Lin Dongfang and Mingzhu, while Cheng Rui next to her slapped his forehead.
"Oh dear, isn't that right?"
That bone broth, with radishes and potatoes in it, slurp! Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.
Even though I don't know much about medicine, I do know that every part of a deer is valuable.
Oh, and the deer blood they wasted while tug-of-war with the big wolf—thinking about it now makes my heart bleed.
Back then, well, never mind, we were on the mountain, she couldn't just conjure up buckets or basins out of thin air to collect the deer blood.
She's completely insane.
The child's thinking is not wrong. If we can't eat meat, can't we at least have some hot soup?
"Exactly, isn't it a bit inappropriate to send bones?"
