Chapter 195 Solving the Wolf Meat Problem
"Is it going to snow? Then let's hurry down the mountain and see if the barbecue grill is ready!" Lin Lanshan rubbed her eyes sleepily as she walked out.
Although the person is not very clear-headed, their mind will not forget about eating.
"Hmm, it's been almost a month. Let's do it tomorrow. Let's tidy up the house today and deliver the things we prepared. Who knows when we'll be able to go down the mountain again."
After having breakfast, the two started working.
I washed and hung up the big blanket that I had laid on the floor yesterday, and hung up the salted wild boar meat...
Lin Chunyi also made sure to move everything in the house that could be dried to the yard to sunbathe.
Then they trimmed and sewed the eighteen wolf pelts they had prepared into a new large blanket.
When spread out, it could completely cover the two sisters with plenty of room. Although the gray wolf fur was a bit ugly, it was thick enough to keep you warm when draped over your arms.
Moreover, when they washed themselves, they used a whole bar of rose-scented soap, which smelled lovely.
The leftover wolf fur, along with the pelts of the wild rabbits and roe deer they had hunted, were used to make fluffy nests for Peach and Reunion.
When I tried to get them to sleep with me, they squealed excitedly for quite a while. It was quite a struggle to get them out of my mouth; I plan to give them to me again when it gets colder.
Lin Lanshan was also captivated by the new blanket, happily rolling around on it a few times. Then, taking a deep breath of the warm floral scent, she asked, "Sister, are we going to Xishui Village tomorrow?"
Creek Village? Oh, I remember now.
“Go ahead. Otherwise, by the time we come down the mountain next spring, Ning Linlan will probably have a different identity. She might not be able to eat, drink, and have fun with us anymore, and she won’t be as free as before.”
Lin Lanshan buried her head in the blanket again, came to a conclusion, and muttered, "Getting married is really scary."
Lin Chunyi laughed at her, "Why are you thinking so much? We're very comfortable like this, but she'll definitely be happy too. Get up quickly, don't let this new blanket collapse before we even start using it."
"If it collapses, I'll just raid a wolf's den and make another one!"
"Look how capable you are! Let's go to the cellar and see if we need to bring anything else besides wolf meat."
The two descended into the cellar and once again felt a deep sense of satisfaction and security. Grains, oil, rice, flour, vegetables, fruits, and daily necessities were all readily available.
Lin Lanshan pointed to the piles of sacks and baskets of all sizes, "I remember when I was in school, I was someone who struggled to walk even fifteen minutes to school."
I never imagined I'd be this diligent. All of this, all of this, and all of this! I tidied it all up myself, bit by bit.
I couldn't help but exclaim, "I'm so awesome!"
"Pfft, you must be exhausted. Alright, stop complaining and come over here." Lin Chunyi casually picked up an empty bamboo basket and walked over to pick and choose.
This bag is filled with soybeans, that bag with corn kernels, and the basket next to it is filled with pumpkins...
Lin Lanshan leaned over and said, "Fish, it sounds like 'abundance year after year,' it's a nice name. Let's not give you any vegetables, we don't even have enough for ourselves."
The mountains have no shortage of creatures that fly in the sky, run on the ground, and swim in the water all year round, but there is a real lack of vegetables.
Especially leafy greens, it's almost impossible to find delicious and fresh ones outside of spring.
"Then let's give four wolf meats to Uncle Lin and his family, two to Yang Yu's family, and two dried fish to each of them?"
Lin Lanshan looked at the various cured meats hanging against the wall. "So we have twelve left? Sister, can't we really sell this wolf meat?"
Once dried, wolf meat looks no different from chicken or pork, so the two women, initially skeptical, slaughtered some of it and ate it that very day.
To get rid of the sour and salty/fishy taste that I'd heard others mentioned, I soaked and washed it, steamed it, added various spices, and stir-fried it with chili peppers—a whole lot of work…
The two of them ate a few pieces with tears in their eyes, then gave up. The taste is hard to describe, but it definitely had a meaty flavor.
No, I can't let myself suffer!
Lin Chunyi gritted her teeth and said, "Bring them all tomorrow and see if we can sell them cheaper in town or county. If all else fails, we'll even barter for them!"
Wiping away her bitter tears, Lin Lanshan nodded heavily, "Yes, yes!"
The two then remembered that they had grabbed two handfuls of jujubes, which they had agreed to bring to Ning Linlan the next time they met.
and many more……
Lin Lanshan suddenly thought of a way to process wolf meat. "Sister, aren't we going to Xishui Village to pick her up tomorrow? We'll definitely need to find her house then."
Hehe, to be polite, we should give their parents a small gift, right?
Since they make a living by hunting, it's quite reasonable for them to give each other prey as a gift, right? Not only would it solve their own problem of not wanting to eat it, but they might also get a well-mannered compliment from the other person.
Hahaha, the best of both worlds!
"Hiss~ Your idea is brilliant! Let's do it that way!" Lin Chunyi's eyes lit up, and she picked up a rope and tied up half of the wolf meat. "Let's go, take them all, that's settled!"
Lin Lanshan happily tied up the rest, slung them over her shoulder, and the two of them went out of the cellar.
Considering the weather, they planned to stay in the county town for one day again. They would spend the first day having fun, and the second day they would visit more shops to buy supplies for the next three or four months.
To avoid being unable to leave due to a sudden heavy snowfall.
The two sisters prepared everything they needed to take down the mountain, and then went to the yard to crack open half of the chestnuts to extract the kernels, so they could dry them and grind them into chestnut flour.
I was busy until evening, and went back to sleep before it got dark, but got up and set off again when it was still dark...
At the hour of Yin (3-5 AM), Youxian Village was pitch black except for a few dim lights from the families who had gotten up early to do business in the town or county.
As soon as the two sisters came down the mountain, they went almost straight to the back gate of Yang Yu's house.
Lin Lanshan stood at the doorway carrying two "wolves," squinting as she peered inside.
There's no light, looks like he's still not awake...
Should I knock on the door and give it to you? Or should I climb over the wall and throw it away? That is the question.
After all, only they would go to someone's house so early in the morning to disturb their sleep and give them gifts.
"Let's knock on the door. What kind of behavior is it to climb over the wall?" Lin Chunyi saw her younger sister looking up at the wall in the dim moonlight and knew what she was up to.
He quickly grabbed the two dried fish and got out of the car to stop her from embarrassing herself.
"Hehe~" Lin Lanshan placed the wolf meat at the door and knocked on the courtyard gate.
"Knock knock knock!"
no respond.
Increase the force, "Knock knock knock!"
A cup of tea's time has passed... and there's still no response.
"Let's go, next one," Lin Chunyi said.
Young people tend to sleep very soundly. Uncle Lin and Aunt Zhang must already be up and doing chores and cooking.
The two sisters then hurried to the village chief's house.
The sound of the mule cart wheels rolling was unusually loud on the quiet dirt road.
"Clang, clang..." Passing through the woods.
"Master?" she called out uncertainly in a low voice.
"Clang clang..." We continued walking through the woods.
"Master, Second Master, is that you?" The voice gradually rose.
