Chapter 261 The whole village divides the meat
After distributing the pork, each household received nearly 40 kilograms of pork offal.
After the wild boar, the highlight, was divided, the pheasants and rabbits began to be divided. The quantity of these two kinds of things was really too large - mainly thanks to the crossbow!
Just raise your crossbow and shoot! It's much more accurate than a bow and arrow! And if you miss, you can immediately fire a second arrow. Unlike a bow and arrow, you have to reload and aim, and then the prey will have already run away.
So the pheasants and rabbits were distributed according to the number of people who came, plus one Guan Xiaoshan, one per person, and this cycle repeated.
The more people who go to the house, the more they get.
Then there are badgers, wild sheep, roe deer, musk deer... they are chopped into pieces according to different categories and divided according to the number of people.
Each family has their own favorite and disliked foods, and they can exchange them among themselves.
Shen Qing's family went to Jiang Xiangdong and Jiang Xiangnan. It wasn't much, but they still got two portions back, 120 kilograms of pork and offal.
They got half a wild sheep, and they got countless pheasants, rabbits, roe deer, and musk deer. The whole family was extremely satisfied.
The other families were also very satisfied.
This is hundreds of kilograms of meat, plus the meat they raise and store at home, this winter is better than the previous decades of their lives combined!
Carpenter Guan looked at the large pile of meat that was his share, tears welling up in his eyes.
Good, very good. After a hundred years, he won’t have to worry about Xiaoshan having a bad life even if he leaves him alone at home.
With the care of these people in the village, Xiaoshan can survive on his own even though he is disabled...
The three members of the Cao family watched as each household carried back various prey. The piles became smaller and smaller, and the prey that was as high as a hill suddenly became only three small piles, piled in front of the three members of the Lei family.
Mrs. Cao was anxious, and Cao Qingzhu was even more anxious. She rushed to the Lei family, looked up at Boss Lei and asked, "Did they buy all the meat?
Did you sell it to them at a low price? "
Knowing that the Cao family was waiting not far away, they still sold it at a low price. What did the Lei family mean by that?
Everyone in the Lei family frowned, and Liu Cuihua replied calmly, "They're not selling at a low price, and they're not buying either. We all go hunting together, so how could we possibly need to buy the prey we hunted?"
"How is it impossible! They are from the plains, how can they hunt? Are you stupid?!" Cao Qingzhu said angrily as he looked at the meat that was only a dozen percent left.
Liu Cuihua was so angry that she wanted to laugh. She said, "Yes, yes, we are stupid. We just like to share with others. What do you think?"
A half-grown child dares to point fingers at his own family. He really gave the Cao family a bad name!
Cao Qingzhu choked, opened and closed his mouth, and no sound came out for a long time.
This was the first time that the Lei family spoke to him so rudely.
Mrs. Cao, who had been equally domineering, suddenly lost her momentum. A hesitant look appeared on her old face. She trembled as she walked up to the Lei family and sighed miserably, "We have no other options. Cao Da and Fu Ping injured their legs, their heads, and their hands, and Fu Ping even lost his donkey cart.
There was not enough food, vegetables and meat at home. Jun Zhu had been out every day for the past two days and had finally bought some vegetables from the surrounding villages, but the farmers were unwilling to sell them any grain.
There is a shortage of food now. If we don’t buy more meat to supplement the food, how are we going to get through this winter?
Liu Cuihua looked indifferent.
Humph, in the past, your Cao family had silver, donkey carts, and servants, but I never saw you helping my Lei family when we were storing food for the winter.
When Shen Qing and her group arrived, even without telling them about the medicinal materials, they let them ride on their donkey carts and even carried goods for them;
Every time the Lei family went out, they relied on the village for support. They had donkey carts to ride in, carts to carry things, and they could sell game, medicinal herbs, and leather materials. The Lei family didn't have to show up; the villagers took care of everything!
Now the Lei family took the villagers to go hunting and divided the prey. The younger ones in the Cao family came to complain, and the older ones came to feel sorry!
Mrs. Cao squinted her eyes at Liu Cuihua's unmoved face, stopped wailing, and said with a change of eyes: "Fu Ping is also pitiful. He injured his head and lost too much blood. His face is still pale.
I want to give her some nourishment, but we don’t have much at home, and we can’t go to the city to buy anything. I don’t know if her body can take care of itself…”
Fang Ting and Ma Pandi's faces changed.
The three brothers, Boss Lei, sighed and gathered together to discuss in a low voice.
Then, Boss Lei came forward and said, "Our family can offer 20 kilograms of wild boar meat, 10 kilograms of pig offal, 10 rabbits and pheasants, and 5 kilograms each of roe deer, wild sheep, and musk deer. The selling price will remain the same as before."
Liu Cuihua heard that her family could afford it and was also earning money, so she didn't say anything to stop them.
We have made a lot of smoked and cured meats at home. Besides wild boars and sheep, which cannot be hunted here, the others can be found in the surrounding mountains. If you want to eat them, just go hunting more diligently.
If it can help Pinggu replenish her health, just sell some of it.
Mrs. Cao smiled and felt relieved.
"become!"
Cao Qingzhu next to her tugged at Mrs. Cao's sleeve, thinking that pig offal was smelly and dirty, so what was the point of having it?
Also, rabbits are not as delicious as pheasants, so we should order more pheasants and less rabbits.
Mrs. Cao patted her grandson's hand to comfort him. She knew what he wanted to say.
It's nothing more than disliking pig offal.
But she knew that twenty kilograms of wild boar meat per household was the limit for the Lei family, and this was only for Pinggu's sake. Since there couldn't be much pork, pig offal was meat after all, so why not want it?
Leaving some for Pinggu and her four maids can also save some meat.

Shen Qing stood in the spacious courtyard of his home, looking at the meat he was given and planning how to eat it.
"Mom, what do you think we should do? Tell me to do it!" Jiang Xiangnan came forward happily.
What he was staring at was not the wild boar meat, but the pig offal. The pig offal made by his mother was so delicious, even better than meat.
Shen Qing came back to his senses and casually ordered, "Wash out the pig intestines and stomach first. The sauerkraut is ready now, so let's stew the pig intestines with sauerkraut."
Jiang Xiangnan immediately smiled with his eyebrows curved: "Okay!"
Shen Qing continued, "A Bing, remove the fat and use it to make lard later. Don't make it too strong. Save the lard residue and add it to the spinach and tofu stew on the tenth day."
I originally thought of stewing it with the dregs of mutton fat, but there is already a dish of mutton stewed with carrots and mutton offal. If someone doesn’t like mutton, then if you add the dregs of mutton fat, there will be no dish to eat!
"Xiaoyu, cut half of the pork into shreds; Xiaoshui, chop the other half of the wild boar meat into minced meat.
After it's done, divide it into small portions and freeze them in the yard. When the workshop needs meat for meals in the future, just take some over."
"Big brother, you two should pick out the remaining large bones and chop the rest into small pieces."
"Old Four, clean up the pheasant."
After receiving the order, everyone seemed to have a backbone, and the original chaos turned into order.
