"Three siblings!"

Standing on the crooked neck tree, Mr. He saw Qin Yao outside the crowd and quickly waved to her: "Here! Here!"

From her position, she had a perfect view.

Qin Yao nodded in agreement and hurriedly led the two girls over.

The villagers she met along the way greeted her happily when they saw her.

Some admired her strength, while others asked her if she was hurt.

Qin Yao answered one by one, and it took a long time to reach He's side with difficulty.

Jinhua, like the four monkeys, climbed up the tree by herself.

Mrs. He was afraid that the old tree could not bear so much weight, so she quickly came down, gave her place to the two little girls, and seriously warned: "Be careful! Hold the branches with your hands, do you hear me?"

Si Niang answered obediently: "Yeah, I know."

Mr. He rubbed the little girl's face with satisfaction, turned around and took Qin Yao's arm, pointed at the head in front of her and sighed:

"Our Liujia Village has been here for decades, but it has never been as lively as this year."

"Brothers and sisters, look at it, those people are all here to buy wolf meat. I heard people said that wolf meat is not very delicious, but I couldn't bear it and the big guys thought it was rare, so they grabbed it. Hahaha."

Through He's mouth, Qin Yao knew that the wolf meat last night, after skinning and decapitating it, totaled more than 1,800 kilograms.

The pigs killed in the previous two days only weighed about 200 kilograms each. The wolf meat this night weighed as much as nine pigs, and even the villagers couldn't finish it.

Of course, if they insist on dividing it, each family will definitely not object. They have many ways to save meat.

But in this case, the people who contributed will not be happy.

In order to avoid quarrels, the village chief made the decision. Each of the forty-two households in the village was divided into 20 kilograms of meat, and 840 kilograms were divided between them.

The remaining nine hundred and sixty kilograms were stewed in a big pot and the whole village came together to eat. The rest was sold, and all the money earned was put into the public house to be used for repairing ancestral halls, building bridges and paving roads.

There is another vision that the village chief has not spoken about.

If this money is enough, he will build a school!

The wolf skin was more valuable than the meat, but it was a bit shabby and not in good condition. The village chief didn’t know how much it could be sold for. Anyway, he let the villagers who knew how to make skins pack it away and then asked Salesman Liu to sell it later.

This part of the money is still confiscated and kept for future use.

As for the wolf's skin and head, the whole village agreed that it belonged to Qin Yao's family. They had packed it up early and sent it to her family.

"Third aunt!"

Liu Qi squeezed through the crowd, and when she saw He was there, she hurriedly shouted, "Auntie is here too."

Mrs. He yelled and teased the young man, "I can only see your third aunt, right?"

Liu Qi hurriedly asked how dare she, secretly wiped the sweat from her head, and signaled Qin Yao to take a step to speak.

Qin Yao patted He's arm in a funny manner, and told the four sisters on the tree to pay attention to safety, and then followed Liu Qi to the alley behind the house, avoiding the crowd.

"What's the matter?" Qin Yao asked curiously.

Liu Qi took out a money bag from her arms, opened it, took two slings of copper coins and handed them to Qin Yao.

"Third Aunt, this is your and Third Uncle's share. The money paid by the villagers, each of you who killed the wolf team will get one hundred and ten cents. The two of them are a total of two hundred and twenty cents. You can count."

After saying that, he smiled at Qin Yao again and said, "Uncle San will come to me alone to get the money, and I will tell you to keep it all."

The whole village knew that the third aunt was in charge of the financial affairs of his family, so it was only natural that the third uncle's share should be given to the third aunt.

Qin Yao gave Liu Qi an admiring look that said, "You are very sensible." She stopped counting the money, weighed it, and put it in her pocket. "Then you guys should be busy. I have something to do at home, so I'll leave first." Liu Qi said regretfully : "Aren't you going to stay and eat the big pot stove?"

Qin Yao waved her hand, "You guys eat more."

Walking out of the alley behind the house, he shouted towards the crooked neck tree: "Liu Pingling, go home!"

"Oh, here we come~" Si Niang hurriedly slid down from the tree and told Sister Jinhua, "The school will recruit students again after the new year. You have to work harder and stop being lazy."

Jinhua also slid down the tree and nodded in response: "I know, I know! I want to go to school, but I can no longer go to the factory cafeteria with my mother-in-law to be a fire girl."

If Mrs. Qiu had known that her daughter could have such a consciousness, she would have taken her to the cafeteria to help clean the table and watch the stove light.

But it's not too late.

"Then you come to my house tomorrow morning, and I will help you memorize a thousand-character essay and hundreds of family names." When Siniang left, she did not forget to remind her again. She was really worried about her sister Jinhua.

They trotted all the way to Qin Yao, and held her big hand with their little hand. The mother and daughter held hands and walked home in a blink of an eye.

As soon as Qin Yao walked in, Liu Ji was like a local dog smelling the smell of meat. He leaned over with a smile and asked: "Madam, have you divided the money for killing the wolf team?"

"I just heard from Jin Bao that the eldest brother and the second brother handed over the money to the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law this morning. The eldest sister-in-law was very happy and said that she would cook a good meal for the two of them to make up for it in the evening."

As he spoke, he spread his palms and said, "One hundred and ten cents per person, right? You can give it to me. I will keep it for myself so that I don't have to ask you for money every time I buy some gadgets. I am a big man and I always ask my mother-in-law for money." , it will be embarrassing for you if you tell me."

Qin Yao smiled, "Have you embarrassed me enough?"

Liu Ji choked and felt that there was no hope of getting money. He curled his lips and was about to say something strange when a heavy coin dropped into his hand.

"Do you think I would be greedy for your little money?" Qin Yao asked dangerously.

Liu Ji suppressed his laughter, put the money away in a serious manner, and hurriedly waved his hands and said: "How could it be possible? Madam, you are the most generous!"

"That's okay. I'm going to go back to my room to study first?" Liu Ji asked innocently.

Qin Yao nodded, and he turned around and ran away, still holding the money on his chest, for fear that she would regret it.

Qin Yao simply couldn't bear to look at the state of his little family, so she called Awang, and the two of them went to the backyard with knives to collect the twenty kilograms of wolf meat.

"Awang, have you ever eaten wolf meat?" Qin Yao picked out the bones individually and handed the meat pieces to Awang.

Awang shook his head and said he had never eaten it, but he already had the recipe in his mind.

"The meat of carnivorous animals is not very tasty. It takes a lot of effort to stew or stir-fry. I will make it into dried meat and give it to Dalang and the others as snacks."

The meat is cut into cubes of even size, blanched and boiled until cooked, then marinated with spices and then smoked directly on the stove over charcoal fire.

The strong flavor of spices can make people ignore the shortcomings of the meat itself, and it should taste good.

Qin Yao is casual, she is responsible for eating anyway.

"Then these picked bones will be used to stew soup tonight?"

Awang nodded and took a look at the bones picked out by Qin Yao, feeling a little disgusted.

Qin Yao: "."

Today's dinner is sumptuous, not just for Qin Yao's family, but for the entire Liu Village.

The smell of meat filled the air over the village and lingered for a long time, making the wild beasts in the mountains howl incessantly.

While Qin Yao drank the wolf bone soup that Awang disliked, but was actually very delicious, she was thinking about whether she should take the opportunity to go into the mountains and get some game to satisfy her craving. (End of chapter)
