Uncle Yu stared at Su Luo speechlessly, "Do you know how much these eight bear paws are worth?! If you're selling your big brown bear for just the meat, it'd only fetch three hundred taels! But if you add the paws, you could fetch over a thousand! Why are you eating something so expensive!!!"
Su Luo looked at Uncle Yu in confusion: "Didn't Uncle Yu just say that the bear's paw is the part that contains the purest and richest essence of the big brown bear's spiritual energy?"
Uncle Yu: "But you... if you want to eat it, just take one bear paw to taste it. But there are eight of them, and you chopped them all off!"
Su Luo said, "We sold the big brown bear to build a special-grade spirit gathering house. It was originally for the purpose of cultivating the chain. Now the bear paw can increase the cultivation level. It can't be bought. Why should we sell it?"
Uncle Yu thought about it and thought, yes, but isn’t this too wasteful?!
Su Luo smiled and said, "Instead of keeping the holy silver lying around, why not exchange it all for spiritual energy to improve your cultivation? What do you think, Uncle Yu?"
Uncle Yu was speechless at Su Luo's bizarre train of thought. He gave a wry laugh, "...I've never seen anyone so generous as you. Every household is so poor these days. They can't afford white rice, and everyone just eats black-flour steamed buns and pickles. Your family is truly... eating bear paws, and you're treating an outsider like me to some..."
Uncle Yu looked at Su Luo with admiration. It was the first time for Uncle Yu to see someone sharing such a precious thing in this era.
Su Luo didn't know how luxurious this was.
If one bear paw didn't have to be cooked in three pots, she would have thought of cooking two at one meal.
Soon, the bear paws were prepared and served on the table.
Uncle Yu muttered to himself, "Too extravagant, too extravagant, this is truly too extravagant..."
As he muttered, he said to Zi Yan and the others, "You guys are lucky. You can eat meat by following Miss Su. You don't know that there are famines in many places outside. They can't even afford black flour buns. They have to eat grass roots and tree bark."
Su Luo exclaimed, "Is it really that serious?"
Uncle Yu sighed, "Isn't it? This time when I went to the city, I wanted to ask the people above me. If there's another disaster next year, life will be unbearable—"
Su Luo and Zi Yan looked at each other. She originally thought that the villagers had suffered enough, but it turned out that there was such a thing as a disaster?
Uncle Yu saw Su Luo's disbelief and immediately said, "Heaven and earth are cruel and treat all things as straw dogs. If Mr. Heaven is unlucky and punishes us, our lives will be very difficult. Well, well, this hasn't happened yet. You guys should try to store as much food as possible. But don't spread this matter yet, so as not to cause panic among the villagers."
Su Luo nodded.
But she was secretly thinking in her heart, it seems that this time they have to stockpile food not only for the winter, but also for the next year...
Several people ate a bear paw and were almost full but hadn't finished it yet. At this moment, a crisp child's voice came from outside the door.
"Dad, I've brought the Wanlima to you!"
Su Luo looked at Uncle Yu.
Uncle Yu said proudly, "This is my third son, Yu Xiaosan. He's gone home to pull my carriage. It's getting late, so let's hurry into the city to do some business. If we were to walk, it would take at least three hours to get there. With this Wanlima, we can reach Yiyang City in just half an hour."
