Chapter 24: Dividing the Meat



"Alas, it's a pity that there is no pig butcher in our village, otherwise I could learn from him now." Goudan frowned slightly, as if he was annoyed that he could not start the journey of learning to butcher pigs immediately.

"My second aunt's family is a butcher, but they didn't go with us." Zhou Xiaowen said. When the other children heard this, they couldn't help but sigh with regret, and the sigh echoed softly in the air.

"Anyway, when I settle down in the future, I will definitely learn how to butcher pigs!" Su Fugui said with a determined face. He clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes showed a determination not to give up until the goal is achieved, as if he had already seen his future appearance holding a butcher knife and looking majestic.

"Then I want to be a big boss and make a lot of money!" A child shouted unwillingly, with his head held high and his face full of pride, as if countless gold, silver and treasures were already waving to him.

"I want to be a high-ranking official!" another child shouted, his little chest puffed out high, his face full of ambition, as if he had already put on the majestic official uniform.

Yao Qingshuang, who was not far away, listened quietly to the children's childish talk and couldn't help but smile slightly. She sighed in her heart: It turns out that no matter what era, children will have dreams of what they want to do in the future!

These pure and innocent hearts hold dreams that, though immature, are so passionate and beautiful.

Because they were all thinking about the delicious wild boar meat, everyone rushed to the camp early that day and returned to the camp before the hour of You.

The village chief looked at the villagers who were eager to go home, and understood what everyone was thinking. Without saying any more nonsense, he and Su Wencheng and others began to count the rabbits they had caught in the afternoon.

After counting the number of rabbits, the village chief hurriedly gathered with several elders to have a serious discussion.

After everything was discussed, they immediately called together the heads of each household and prepared to start dividing the mouth-watering pork.

The village chief first told everyone the distribution plan, "The pork has been distributed this afternoon. Each piece of pork weighs one pound, and a total of 248 pieces have been distributed. However, this time, children under 10 years old will not receive any pork."

Upon hearing this, the villagers below immediately became a little unhappy. The crowd began to make a noise, and various voices of dissatisfaction rose one after another.

Seeing this, the village chief coughed forcefully a few times and shouted, "Be quiet and listen to me! We have 49 children under the age of 10. After excluding them, each of the remaining people can get a piece of pork weighing one pound! After dividing it up this way, there will still be 28 pieces of pork left. The 10 people who participated in the wild boar hunt will each get an extra piece of pork. The remaining pork will be saved for the pig-killing dinner tonight!"

The village chief paused, then continued, "Also, we found 180 rabbits this afternoon. Each of the 49 children under the age of 10 can get a rabbit. Also, Datou, Chunsheng, and Fourth Grandpa, who were injured today, will each get a rabbit. Finally, each family can get four more rabbits. Okay, now that all the meat has been distributed, do you have any comments?"

After hearing the village chief's detailed explanation of the distribution, the villagers all smiled with satisfaction and shouted at the top of their lungs, "No objection, we'll all listen to the village chief!"

That’s right, everyone is very happy after getting so much meat, so how could they have any complaints?

"That's good. The weather is hot now. Everyone, go back and dry the meat quickly. We will continue on our journey at dawn tomorrow. Go back and pack up everything you need to pack. Don't dawdle!" The village chief still spoke sternly with a serious face, and his tone revealed unquestionable majesty.

Afterwards, the villagers happily took their share of the meat and left.

The village chief arranged for the aunties and ladies who cooked to start preparing delicious pig-killing dishes.

When the aunts and ladies heard this, they immediately started to work actively.

I saw them skillfully putting the processed pork offal and stewed pork into the pot and stir-frying them continuously. As the spatula stirred them, the pork offal and stewed pork gradually became golden and shiny.

Next, add ginger and wild garlic found in the forest into the pot, continue to stir-fry evenly, then cover the pot and start simmering.

When the pork offal and the internal organs in the pot are almost cooked, sprinkle a handful of soul-sweet shallots in. Hey, just like that, a rich aroma will suddenly hit your nose. The aroma will permeate the entire camp and penetrate into people's noses.

On the other side, several large iron pots were bubbling with bone soup.

The bone soup was boiling in the pot, bubbling constantly and emitting bursts of tempting aroma.

After a while, the aunts and ladies put fresh wild vegetables into the soup. The tender green wild vegetables rolled in the soup, making the already tempting bone soup look even more appetizing, as if every mouthful of soup was full of vitality.

The children had long been attracted by the tempting aroma. They gathered around the big pot tightly, staring at the pot with their little eyes without blinking, and refused to leave.

Each of their little faces was filled with an intoxicated expression, as if just smelling the aroma coming from the pot was as if they had already eaten the delicious meat.

The adults couldn't help but burst into laughter when they saw the children's expressions. But when they turned around, they secretly inhaled the tempting smell in the air, thinking to themselves: "Oh, it smells really good! This pig-killing dish is really something we can look forward to!"

With a loud shout of "It's time to eat", everyone instantly became excited, quickly picked up their bowls, and in the blink of an eye, a long line formed around the pot.

Seeing that everyone was lined up neatly, the village chief cleared his throat and said loudly, "Today, everyone gets a spoonful of pork offal and pork belly, and everyone can enjoy the pork bone and vegetable soup!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately cheered, and the cheers echoed in the camp.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the cooked meat in the pot. They were so greedy that they could hardly hold back their saliva.

The person in front of the line finished his meat and walked back with his bowl, feeling satisfied.

The people still queuing at the back kept their eyes fixed on the line in front of them, constantly calculating how many more days it would take for their turn. They were all extremely anxious, hoping to get their hands on the delicious pork as soon as possible.

Yao Qingshuang also lined up. When it was her turn to have the meat cut, she took her bowl and returned to the resting place.
