Chapter 274: Chapter 274 Sharing The Meat
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After returning home, Zhou Ying made them a pot of tea. She also prepared them a plate of green bean cakes and steamed buns with mushrooms and chicken stuffing before she went to help Gu Chcngrui.
Manager Liu stood up and washed his hands. Then, he picked up a bun and said, “The steamed buns look amazing. It seems like we’re in for a treat.”
“Stop talking and let’s eat; it smells good.” Seeing this, the village chief and patriarch couldn’t wait any longer. They quickly went to wash their hands and started eating.
After eating two buns, each the size of a child’s fist, the three began chatting.
At that time, the patriarch and the village chief also discovered that the wolves had attacked the Xiahe village two days ago.
However, the wolves were blocked by more tear-inducing powder and arrows, which was why they attacked this village.
They also learned that the wolves were targeting their village because the animals heard the sound of gongs and saw the bright lights.
“I didn’t expect even a wolf to know how to pick on a softer target,” the village chief sighed when he heard this.
“Haha, you guys aren’t pushovers. You all killed about 50 to 60 wolves.” Manager Liu shook his head and smiled.
“It was also because we discovered that wolves were on the mountain that we dug more traps. Otherwise, it would have been problematic tonight.” The village chief shook his head and asked.
“Manager Liu, have you been living in the manor in Xiahe village all this while?” he asked curiously.
“That’s right. That’s because of the sweet potatoes there. To put it bluntly, we’re here to protect the sweet potatoes.”
“I see.” The village chief nodded his head in understanding.
If the yield was, as Zhou Ying said, 10,000 pounds per acre of land, these white sweet potatoes were the country’s treasure. Even if it yielded less than half the expected amount, it must still be protected.
They owed the young couple a big favor. After all, it would take at least three years for them to figure out how to plant these white sweet potatoes on a large scale.
After an hour, Qian Jiaxi and Gu Chengen walked in. After greeting the three, Qian Jiaxi said, “Other than losing some livestock, the villagers are all fine, as they hid in the cellars.
“As for the wolves’ carca.s.ses, there are a total of 93. Please take a look at them.”
He looked at Manager Liu at this point.
Manager Liu and his men helped a lot tonight. Otherwise, the villagers alone wouldn’t have been able to kill all the wolves; they couldn’t monopolize all the stuff.
“We’ll take 30 of them. You guys can decide on the rest.” Manager Liu said it bluntly.
Although wolf meat wasn’t delicious, it was getting harder and harder to find food during a drought. He couldn’t give up on this.
Also, he didn’t want to give them the impression that he was easy to brush off; otherwise, it would create a bad precedent further down the line.
“I’ll have to thank you, Manager Liu.” The village chief nodded in satisfaction.
They had killed nearly 30 wolves on the mountain and at the foot of the mountain, not to mention that they had helped them solve the problem of their village. So it was thoughtful of Manager Liu only to take away 30 wolves.
On the other end, Gu Chcngrui and Zhou Ying had almost finished treating the injuries of the injured.
Then, the group went to the village and began to divide the meat.
After removing the 30 wolves belonging to Manager Liu, the remaining 63 weighed about 3,300 pounds.
Among them, those who came out to help tonight were first rewarded with five pounds of wolf meat; the rest who didn’t come got three pounds per person.
After discussing the distribution, everyone started to butcher the wolves.
At this time, the village head found Gu Chcngrui and his wife and suggested, “I heard that you two used quite a lot of chili powder and other concoctions tonight. How about I give you ten wolf skins as compensation?”
After the two of them looked at each other, Gu Chcngrui nodded and said, “We’ll accept your arrangements.”
“Then it’s a deal. But do you guys want to skin them yourselves or prefer us to give them to you after we are done butchering?”
“I’ll do it myself. I’ve been quite free recently.” Gu Chcngrui answered..
