At this point, Qiao Xin really let the matter go and just ignored it.
She couldn't sit still, so she began to look at the vast mountains around her. It was time to go and take a look!
After breakfast, under the envious gazes of the villagers, Qiao Xin, carrying a bow and arrow, disappeared into the vast mountains without looking back.
Shunzi was asking the village chief in the crowd where the butcher was.
The village chief was confused. Why was he looking for a butcher when it wasn’t the New Year or any other festival?
"When the old lady kills some prey, someone will have to clean it up!" Shunzi said it as if it was a matter of course.
The old village chief had an expression on his face that said, "Are you stupid?"
"We can go and come back the same day. No matter how much prey we can catch, the hunter Luo in our village can help us prepare it. Why do we need to hire a special butcher? It will cost more to hire him."
The old village chief had already regarded Qiao Xin and his gang as his breadwinners, and subconsciously began to help them budget carefully.
Shunzi opened his mouth for a long time, and finally closed it.
Forget it, I won’t explain it. It would be good to let everyone see with their own eyes the majesty of their old lady hunting!
The village chief's wife was cleaning up the dishes. When she saw this scene, she reacted very quickly and stopped Shunzi who was about to leave.
A woman dares to go into the deep mountains and forests alone, while the people around her have long been accustomed to it. It is definitely not because they are indifferent, but because they are very confident that the girl will return with a full load.
Otherwise, people wouldn’t have the time to ask them about the butcher!
"Butler, please wait a moment. I will ask someone to go to Luo the Butcher's house in Xiahe Village. He should be at home since it is not a festival."
Shunzi took out fifty coins from his sleeve, handed them over, and said with a smile: "Hey, thank you, Auntie. I'm sorry to bother you for making this trip. I won't bother you with this matter. I'd like to ask you to clear out a spacious area at the entrance of the village and ask someone to build an earthen stove and lend me a big pot, the biggest one. In the afternoon, buy some firewood and boil hot water in time, so that it will be convenient for us to clean up the prey!"
After hearing Shunzi's instructions, the village chief's wife looked at him with her mouth wide open.
Even set aside a special area for cleaning up the prey?
Oh my God, how much prey did the sister have to hunt to be worthy of such a grand ceremony?
As it turned out, Shunzi's preparations were not redundant at all.
In the evening, Qiao Xin appeared in front of everyone in a heroic manner, carrying a wild boar weighing more than 300 kilograms on his back and holding a wild boar leg in his hand.
The old village chief staggered and almost dropped the pipe in his hand.
Um, um, the girl is carrying a wild boar on her back, right? And the one she is holding in her hand is a takin?
How come this thing is always a bully in the forest when it is brought out? People have to hide in advance when they see it. Their temperaments are more ferocious than each other, and tigers and leopards have to retreat three points when they see them. How come the eldest sister hunted two of them easily?
This prey weighing nearly a thousand kilograms, she, a woman, carried it back so proudly!
"Hurry, hurry, go and help. What are you standing there for?" Shunzi rushed to Qiao Xin and stretched out his hands to help Qiao Xin take the weight off her shoulders. However, his arms and legs didn't move at all after trying for a long time.
He could only awkwardly help Qiao Xin walk!
Qiao Xin looked at him and said in a comforting tone, "Don't bother. You can't carry it. It's only a few steps away. I can take it over!"
The young boy couldn't stand this and tried to take over the antelope without giving up.
Unfortunately, this one was even heavier, and he pulled for a long time without moving it at all. It was Zhang Yun and the villagers who arrived later who helped to carry it back.
Shunzi was left alone, bewildered in the wind!
Woohoo! Oh my God! This is really embarrassing. I have agreed to follow the old lady's example and get rid of my weak past and become a powerful manager!
Practicing martial arts, working in the fields, chopping trees, hunting, moving goods...
He always rushes to do any kind of work that comes his way!
But now my strength is still not even one percent as good as the old lady's. What's going on?
Not to mention that Shunzi was deeply shocked, even the villagers who came out to help and watch the fun were stunned!
They have seen men as strong as bulls, but this is the first time they have seen a woman with such strength. It's like a knife cutting her butt. It's really eye-opening!
Take the official named Shunzi for example. Although he has a tender face, his muscles are no less muscular than those country guys who do farm work every day.
They saw with their own eyes that the other party only used his hands to fetch water from the well more than ten times a day. The strong muscles in his arms were not for show!
But the comparison just now was so tragic, so the old lady was...
Everyone shuddered and didn't dare to think about it anymore. They were glad that they had been honest enough during this period and didn't have any bad intentions!
Qiao Xin threw the prey in an open area at the entrance of the village and said to Qiao Yunqing who came over after hearing the news: "Don't keep it, please let everyone eat the meat!"
"Okay, mom, go and rest first, and I'll take care of the rest!"
Qiao Xin didn't say anything polite after hearing that. She turned around and went back to her room to wash up. She really didn't care anymore.
The village chief's wife had already brought people to boil hot water. When she saw Qiao Xin enter the house, she was enthusiastic but cautious.
"Big sister, the hot water is ready. I'll be waiting outside with you. Just let me know if you need anything!"
"Thank you for your hard work, elder sister!" Qiao Xin was not polite to her!
After what happened, I'm afraid these villagers will no longer be able to associate her with being kind and gullible!
For these illiterate villagers, being too kind may make them feel that they are easy to bully. Only by showing off your muscles appropriately and using both kindness and severity can they be cautious!
Luo the butcher, who had been invited over a long time ago, faced the huge beast in front of him, holding the boning knife, and didn't know how to start! After struggling for a long time, he stepped forward tremblingly and asked Qiao Yunqing: "Sir, what do you want to do with these prey?"
"First drain the blood, then peel the skin, and separate the meat! Everyone has worked hard these past few days, so I'd like to take this opportunity to invite everyone to eat some meat! Village chief, call everyone who knows how to handle meat to come over and help, and I'll share some meat with everyone later!"
village head:????
"Ah...want to share it with everyone?"
"Of course, we can only eat so much at most. The meat we can't finish will go bad in a few days. Why not share it with everyone?"
The old village chief Benzhuang refused, but the villagers who came over heard what Qiao Yunqing had just said and were looking at him eagerly!
Looking at the villagers who were pale and skinny, the words of rejection went around in his mouth for a few times but he couldn't utter a single word.
She couldn't even remember how long it had been since they had a good meal with meat!
Forget it, I won’t be pretentious. It’s not the first time I’ve taken advantage of an older girl, so I won’t be pretentious!
The old village chief instructed everyone in detail and started to act.
"Did you hear that? Men, come and help if you have the strength. Wives, go back and get the dustpans. Once the meat is done, you can spread it on top..."
