Taking advantage of the day's free time, Lin Ying planned to go fishing in the river on the mountain. Although Er Ya didn't like to eat fish, Shuanzi did.
With a child at home, she needed to prepare a variety of things. Of the three jars of pickled vegetables she bought, one was actually for pickling vegetables, while she planned to use the other two to pickle meat.
The child is too young, so she doesn't plan to come to the mountain in winter. It would be better if she prepared the necessary food.
Lin Ying was truly ruthless this time. She used the spiritual spring as bait, and then had four large tigers to hunt for her. Before nightfall, Lin Ying had caught two roe deer, a large wild boar, more than twenty rabbits, and six pheasants. She even caught a wild ox.
Looking at all the prey, Lin Ying felt that besides the spiritual spring water, it was probably because Er Ya had used her powers again.
With a family of tigers living on this mountain, there aren't even any wolves in the vicinity. You could say that as long as you don't offend the tigers, the back of the mountain is quite safe.
Lin Ying got home before it got completely dark. For the first time, the trolley wasn't carrying firewood; instead, it was full of meat.
When Lin Ying got home, she saw Shuanzi eating a steamed bun and couldn't help but laugh: "Hungry? Wait, Auntie will cook for you."
After eating, Lin Ying began to prepare the meat.
Shuanzi was playing with Erya, while Lin Ying was busy somewhere.
To be honest, Lin Ying hadn't expected him to bring so much meat. Since it wasn't frozen yet and couldn't be stored, Lin Ying had to process and prepare it properly.
Because there was so much meat, Lin Ying had to abandon the jars she originally planned to use for pickling vegetables and turned them all into canned meat.
As for the beef, Lin Ying simply braised it all, then cut it into strips to make jerky.
Rabbit and chicken were made into smoked meat, roe deer meat was made into several cans, and the rest was used to make sausages with casings. In addition, some cured meat was dried.
The children who came to Lin Ying's house to play got to eat meat again.
As for the older children, they are all on the mountain and don't have the chance to enjoy this.
It's all thanks to Lin Ying for setting up the shed; the meat is drying inside and can't be seen from the outside. Otherwise, those strings of meat would really make people envious.
However, Lin Ying was thinking too simply.
Although no one saw the meat at Lin Ying's house, the smell of meat wafted through the entire compound all day.
The long-time residents all know what's going on, but the newcomers, especially the Xing family, have no idea.
Compared to the elderly military wives living here who are used to cooking for themselves, these people, no matter where they are, consider everything to belong to the collective.
So, when they heard that Lin Ying had killed a large animal without permission and hadn't shared it with everyone, they became unhappy.
The group went directly to the logistics department to cause trouble.
At first, Zhang Shanlin explained that the family compound was newly established and everything was still incomplete, with the logistics department overseeing everything. He said that once a women's director was appointed, a comprehensive system would be established, and he asked everyone not to worry.
However, these people were simply jealous that Lin Ying had meat to eat, so they wouldn't be easily dismissed by Zhang Shanlin's few official words.
If there's no women's director, then let's choose one.
We've already said the resources on the back mountain belong to everyone, so why should Lin Ying have to take them back herself? This matter needs an explanation.
If this incident were just a few newly arrived military wives causing trouble, it wouldn't be so bad. The key issue is that some of them, who had previously had disagreements with Lin Ying and whose families had no children and had never eaten meat at Lin Ying's house, also joined in the commotion.
Too many people were making a fuss, and Zhang Shanlin had no choice but to report the matter to higher authorities.
Soon, the military appointed a senior officer in her forties from the logistics department as the women's director of the military dependents' compound, in charge of all aspects of the compound's work. They not only provided her with an office within the compound but also housing for her.
With a women's director in charge, a meeting was naturally scheduled in the compound. Lin Ying also went there with Er Ya in her arms.
Lin Ying couldn't help but laugh when she heard what was inside.
The first item on the agenda was the allocation of resources in the back hill area. The implication was that the back hill area belonged to the collective, not to any individual.
Starting today, all large animals hunted must be handed over for collective distribution. Private seizure is strictly prohibited.
The second rule is that no one is allowed to go to the back mountain without permission. This has had a very negative impact on others.
Article 3: Except for firewood, trees may not be felled for any other purpose. Otherwise, it will be considered unauthorized use of public resources.
After that, there are many other things, such as needing to report when going out, and other routine requirements.
However, everyone present knew that the three main points were all aimed at Lin Ying.
