Chapter 169: Eating meat is a big deal



The black bear died suddenly. All the villagers in Gujiagang were shocked.

Even though it was windy and rainy outside, the air-conditioning blew on people and made them feel cold. But those villagers who liked to watch the excitement still ran over happily.

In the Gu family's ancestral hall, almost everyone looked at it with great interest.

This is bear meat!

Especially these four thick bear paws.

How much would it cost if it was sold in the county?

Some people thought about the money, some thought about the meat, and some thought about Gu Yanzhang's safety.

...

When Gu Yanzhang returned home, his legs were weak.

When Chen Xuanxuan saw that he had returned safely, she felt much more at ease. She asked with a smile, "How is it? Is everything okay?"

Hearing his wife's concern, Gu Yanzhang frowned tightly and couldn't help but tell her everything that happened today.

After Chen Xuanxuan listened carefully, she got angry at the time.

To be honest, she had never thought that some people would be so bad.

She really couldn't understand what those people were thinking?

Why do some of them like to do things that hurt others and themselves?

It was really a bit confusing, so Chen Xuanxuan told him all the thoughts in her heart.

After listening, Gu Yanzhang raised his hand instead. He comforted her seriously, "Wife, this matter... Don't worry, I will never let it go so easily this time."

Noticing that Gu Yanzhang's face was blue and his lips were purple, Chen Xuanxuan thought for a moment and said distressedly, "You have been busy all day today, you should be hungry, right?"

"I cooked dumplings for you here. They are all filled with pork that you like. I also prepared a small plate of chili oil for you. It

is especially delicious to dip it in. Your father ate sixty dumplings in one breath tonight!" Gu Yanzhang felt very uncomfortable when he heard that his father ate sixty dumplings in one breath.

Sixty!

That's a full sixty!

This morning, he just wanted to drink a few more mouthfuls of porridge, but his father openly and secretly accused him of wasting food and didn't want him to continue eating. Gu Yanzhang's mood became even worse.

Under the gaze of his family, Gu Yanzhang ate more than forty dumplings in one breath.

After he was eight-tenths full, Gu Yanzhang felt a little warm on his body. It was too

cold today.

Surprisingly cold.

What's more, it will be Qingming Festival in a few days.

Gu Yanzhang thought in his heart that he should not go out in the next few days.

Because if he goes out, nothing good will happen.

After eating and drinking enough, Gu Yanzhang also soaked his feet. When Chen Xuanxuan finished washing up, Gu Yanzhang was already lying on the bed.

Hearing Gu Yanzhang's snoring, Chen Xuanxuan shook her head subconsciously.

He must be very tired today.

Thinking of the dangers he had today, Chen Xuanxuan couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

After compacting the quilt for him, Chen Xuanxuan took another quilt and slowly fell asleep.

After they fell asleep, people in the village began to talk about Gu Yanzhang.

"You are such a fool today. Why did you think of hitting him at that time?"

"Yes. It's OK to hit him, as long as no one finds out. But look at what you did. I really don't understand why the bear died after you pushed him, but he didn't..., couldn't you have used more strength when you did that?!"

Hearing the accusations of several of their brothers, some people were not convinced.

"If you think I did a bad job, go by yourselves!"

"Anyway, I will never get involved in such things again..." As

soon as the voice fell, there was a burst of lightning and thunder outside.

The silver light was so bright that it scared the person who spoke.

Just when he stared with his eyes wide open, not knowing what he should do, the parents of these people suddenly came back from outside in high spirits. As

soon as they got home, their parents happily took out piles of blackened meat from the basket on their backs.

These were the meat from the bear.

And the parts with more fat.

In the countryside, everyone knows that fat is more valuable than lean meat.

Because fat can be squeezed into a lot of oil. Lean meat is not the same.

Moreover, eating fat in big mouthfuls is so refreshing!

Seeing the piles of fat in front of them, the unusually thick fat, everyone in this family greeted them with smiles, and they were filled with joy from head to toe.

Unfortunately, when they all started to squeeze oil from the fat, they found that there seemed to be something wrong in the meat.

Especially the taste of the meat was a bit bitter.

Not only this family felt this way, but other families that received meat also had the same feeling.

...

Gu Yanzhang had just gotten up early the next morning when the son of the clan leader Gu Yuxi came to his house in person.

After giving Gu Yanzhang three pounds of bear meat, he left.

This bear seemed to weigh several thousand pounds, as if there were a lot of them. However, there were many people in Gujiagang. There were hundreds of families.

Many of them were wealthy and had a large population. Forty or fifty people lived together in one place, and no matter how much bear meat there was, it was not enough for them to share.

Gu Yanzhang was able to get three pounds of bear meat only after the clan leader Gu Yuxi repeatedly requested it.

After getting the bear meat, Gu Yanzhang immediately asked, "Wife, have you ever eaten bear meat?"

"If you want to eat it, I'll cook it for you now..."

Chen Xuanxuan smiled when she heard this.

"Okay! Help me cook it."

"To be honest, I have never eaten any bear meat in my life! I have never tasted bear paws. I heard that honey bear paws are delicious..."

Gu Yanzhang smiled and shook his head when he heard this.

"In fact, the meat of many wild animals in the mountains is not very delicious. I think their taste is not good. The meat is too tight, not easy to chew, and difficult to digest..."

Chen Xuanxuan smiled and replied, "This tight meat should be cooked more..."

And it is best to use a high-pressure cooker. Cook it for a longer time, and the meat will naturally stew.

For the lower-class people in ancient times, it was not uncommon to never see meat in their lives.

Even though Gu Yanzhang's family can only eat pork every two or three days, his children still think that they can never get tired of eating pork.

It is really delicious.

Pork pancakes, pork dumplings, pork spring rolls, pork stewed with vermicelli, meat buns... are all their favorites.

For them, the happiest thing in life is to eat meat!

Thinking of having bear meat to eat today, Gu Yanzhang's children, whether they are married or not, are all very happy.
