Chapter 258 Primitive Beast World Cubs 32
"Be careful, sweetie!"
At this moment, Shen Ci's heart was in her throat. If anything happened to Cang Ye, she would be finished!
Before his mind could even process it, the machete in his hand had already been thrown, and before the sheep could even butt him, the machete had already struck the sheep.
The sheep had no time to dodge and was hit, causing it to crash into a rock and bleed profusely.
Cangye was frightened, but quickly regained his wolfish ferocity.
With its fur standing on end, it leaned forward to sniff, then drooped its ears and spoke.
"Dead."
Alas, Mother has lost another sheep. There aren't many sheep down the mountain to begin with, and now that one has died, there are even fewer. Mother will surely be disappointed.
But Chen Ci was not disappointed. Instead, he ruffled the hair on Chen Ci's head without showing any displeasure.
"Perfect timing for an extra dinner, let's try some mutton."
Then they stuffed the still-warm sheep carcass into a bamboo basket and put it away.
"Three alive and one dead, that's enough. A very good haul!"
Counting the two lambs I already have, and the smaller lamb on the other side, the lambs were caught without much effort, so I can get three this time.
As long as Cang Ye is alright, she can accept even if she only caught one cub. Nothing is more important than the cubs.
It wasn't easy to come here, and it was slow, but at least we had a mount. But going back won't be the same; we can't just bring a few sheep and put them on top of Cang Ye.
The child is at the age where he is growing and cannot bear such a heavy burden.
The journey was too arduous; the sheep desperately tried to back away, and the rope left red marks on Shen Ci's palms from friction.
Cangye remembered to circle around; these sheep are more obedient when they're dead!
In the end, they had no choice but to continue their journey, so Shen Ci led the sheep ahead while Cang Ye followed behind with a tree branch.
When they passed the swamp, the ram suddenly had a mental breakdown and went crazy, trying to jump into the mud. Cang Ye reacted quickly, grabbing the ram by the scruff of its neck and pulling it back.
Cangye's chin was covered in mud.
"I'll grill you lamb chops when we get back!"
Shen Ci said, "It doesn't matter if one sheep dies, it won't be a waste anyway."
Even if the sky were to fall, it wouldn't be a big deal.
There's no need to get angry at the child over every little thing; it's part of raising her little wolf cubs and allowing bad things to happen.
But as long as you think positively, there's nothing to be afraid of, and even bad things can become interesting.
The journey was arduous before dark; the sheep's rear end was almost swollen from Cangye's whipping. Finally, they arrived home. It had been a truly difficult journey.
The sheepfold was built with stones, logs, and thorns. It was quite a struggle to herd the three sheep inside, and the lambs were alright.
The two big ones were completely disobedient; as soon as they were put in, they went crazy and rammed into the fence.
The strongest ram charged straight at them! Fortunately, there was a ring of rocks outside, so they couldn't break through.
Shen Ci tied the sheep's neck to a stone with a rope. If it could still break free, she would have no choice but to accept it.
"They'll behave themselves if they go hungry for a couple of meals."
Shen Ci threw in a handful of hay, and the sheep bleated while secretly chewing a few bites of the hay. Cang Ye squatted outside the fence, baring his teeth, which scared the lamb into instantly shrinking into a corner.
Times have changed; even wolves have started raising sheep.
After settling the sheep in, Shen Ci and Cang Ye were both hungry.
I was exhausted after a long day; my legs ached from walking so much. I could only manage to chew a few bites of jerky on the way, which wasn't enough to fill me up.
Shen Ci didn't want to be a disappointing mother who broke her promise to make roasted lamb chops.
Pour the sheep out of the basket and bleed them by the edge of the pool. Collect the blood, as it is edible.
Mao Xue Wang (a spicy Sichuan dish), blood tofu...
After skinning the sheep, clean it, gut it, remove the internal organs, and clean it again.
Without hot water, the only option is to wash yourself by the water's edge. Everything must be done according to the circumstances; this is the only condition available here.
A whole sheep—now Cangye's appetite has grown; a wolf can eat half a rib.
Shen Ci cut the ribs off whole. Tonight, the little wolf cub will have half a rib, and she will have a quarter of one. She also cut a few pieces of mutton, which she will skewer and grill into mutton skewers.
There was plenty of bamboo at home, so Shen Ci cut the meat and asked Cangye to skewer it.
She made a simple grill out of bamboo to hold the ribs and lamb skewers.
If there are no other materials, then bamboo is the only option. We need to select live bamboo so that it won't burn too quickly.
The lamb was thoroughly cleaned. To save on salt, the meat was first rubbed with salt and other seasonings and marinated before roasting.
Pieces of ribs and lamb skewers were constantly being grilled, and the aroma slowly wafted out.
The firewood crackled and popped, and the dripping fat into the charcoal fire released an enticing aroma.
The grilling wasn't fast, but they could wait. After a while, Shen Ci tore off a piece of rib that had been grilled until it was golden brown and handed it to Cangye.
"Try it, roasted lamb chops."
"If we can find more seasonings in the future, it will definitely taste even better."
Cang Ye pushed the ribs back.
"Mother, eat first. I'll hunt more prey later!"
I will go find the seasonings my mother mentioned.
His mother had raised him for a long time, and now he was getting stronger and more agile. He felt that he could protect and support his mother.
The first person in his life to treat him so well, he couldn't wait to repay her and make her feel that he was useful.
The night breeze carried the aroma of roasted meat through the sheepfold, and the three sheep had quieted down at some point.
The grilled lamb chops were oozing with oil, and the lamb skewers were all big pieces of meat. Each skewer was very satisfying, and each bite had a unique muttony flavor.
It doesn't make you feel uncomfortable at all; on the contrary, it's very satisfying. This feeling of fully absorbing oil is irresistible to someone who hasn't had a big meal in a long time!
What do you have at home now?
There is a chicken coop where they raise about ten pheasants, a calf, and three sheep. There is also a row of cured meat hanging in the house as a reserve of food.
The land has been cultivated, and the fertilizer is still composting. The farmyard manure produced by the livestock at home should be of good quality.
We need to cultivate some more land and sow seeds before winter arrives, so we can have another harvest.
For an average rural family in modern society, this number of livestock is quite a lot.
As Shen Ci ate his meat, he pondered his next plan.
The land was further cultivated.
Prey, keep hunting.
However, the meat still has a slightly strong smell. Livestock need to grow big and have a mild smell, so humans choose to castrate them.
The most common example is castration, which eliminates the pig's estrus cycle, allowing it to focus solely on eating and sleeping, resulting in rapid weight gain!
The meat didn't have that foul smell yet. It seems she needs to figure out how to castrate a pig.
Life has turned a young girl into a butcher, a farmer, and a pig castrator!
