Chapter 22 22: Eating meat makes you happy
I watched my two brothers being greeted by their family members as soon as they entered the house.

Su Sanzhu, who was left aside, sniffed and felt so wronged.

He was also a son who went hunting in the mountains. Why was he not treated like this when he returned home? He was abandoned and it was as if no one saw him.

"Mom, dad, and..." Su Sanzhu opened his mouth.

"You must be exhausted these days, look at your face.

Lotus and chrysanthemum, put the prey away and bring them hot water..."

Su Dashan and his fellow villagers set up a pot on the threshing floor and boiled water to shave the prey.

After processing, the prey is distributed to each household.

In addition to the young and old men in the village, women also came to the threshing floor wearing headscarves and chatting.

"How much meat do you think our family can get this time?"

"Each household should be able to get around ten kilograms. These seven wild boars weigh at least 1000 kilograms."

"Our village hasn't eaten meat for more than a year. We can finally have a good year this year."

Even the children who were nestled at home were making a fuss, hugging their parents and poking around.

The mouth is clamoring for meat.

When the adults were asked to take the children back, the children were not happy and insisted on staying to watch the fun of pig killing.

Everyone in the village has a smile, which is the desire for meat.

"Look at how dirty you are. Eat a hot meal first and take a shower later." Old Man Su looked at his children with disgust.

The three brothers were all numb. Their clothes were torn in several places, and the cotton wool inside them had escaped. The trouser legs were wet with mud and snow and were stiff from the cold.

Most of the unshaven hair has sprouted out, but fortunately the three brothers are in good spirits.

"Mom, you and dad can go see the prey. We don't have anything to take care of when we eat."

"Seeing that you two came back safely makes me feel at ease, and I don't think there were any injuries on my body."

Su Sanzhu: ...and him.

He raised his head and took a long look, then lowered his head.

"no."

In the yard, the children of the Su family circled around the prey, looking at the snakeskin bag on the ground and the panting ewe next to it.

The bullet had been taken out a long time ago, and the wound was wrapped casually.

"Sister, this sheep seems to be injured."

"I'm going to ask grandma if she has any medicine."

"There's no medicine, just plant ashes. Let's take the ewe to the kitchen and put it next to the fire to keep it warm.

Chunhua, Xiaomei, you guys go get a Chinese cabbage, break it off and feed it to it. "

"Grandma, I'm going right now!"

"I am coming too!"

"Sister, wait for me. I'll go too." Si Shi followed behind with unsteady steps.

Xie Lianhua didn't untie the snakeskin bag for a long time, so she simply cut open the mouth of the bag with a knife.

The prey in the bag was poured out with a splash.

The great cause, the second cause, and the third cause were stunned.

The three sisters-in-law were all surprised, including the old lady.

"rabbit!"

"And snow chickens!"

"Grandma, there's so much meat!"

……

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't be so happy, if someone finds out later..."

"Mom, this is all done by the road, what should we be afraid of?"

"That's just in case. Lotus, pick out two and send one to your uncle and Aunt Hua's house.

If someone lends us food, we should also thank him. "

"Mom, why don't you wait until the afternoon and drop by to return the food?"

"Okay." Mrs. Su nodded. There were ten or twenty chickens and rabbits on the ground, and they were quite big.

They pickle it all later, dry it, and eat it slowly, which is enough for their family for more than half a year.

"Don't go out and talk nonsense, do you hear me? This is what your father worked so hard to fight back."

"Yeah, grandma, do we have meat to eat today?" "Yes! We have to go to the threshing floor to share the meat later. Juhua, you go and share the meat now."

As soon as the children heard that there was meat to eat, they burst out laughing.

"Lianhua, Xia Ying, let's take care of the fur together.

The skin of the rabbit can be cut directly and dried in the sun. You can also make a scarf, leather jacket, etc. for your children. "Mrs. Su assigned tasks to her family members in an orderly manner.

"Blank the chicken feathers with hot water. Don't over-scald them, otherwise the skin will be pulled off."

"Mom, are we going to sell these in the town?" Xie Lianhua asked.

“If we don’t sell it, we’ll keep it for ourselves to eat, and we won’t be short of the money.

The meat that the man in the family gave his life for must be kept to eat. "

Old Man Su smoked his cigarette bag, "In addition to wild boar, there will also be roe deer, mutton...Old lady, we can't eat so much ourselves, shall we send some to the in-laws?"

"Before, the two daughters-in-law went back to their parents' homes to borrow food, and they almost broke off the relationship with their parents' families. We can't forget this."

When Mrs. Su thought about it, she realized that if the two sisters-in-law hadn't gone back to their parents' house to borrow food, their family wouldn't be able to survive today.

"You two, each carry a chicken and rabbit back. Then return the food to your parents' family. Don't let your brother and sister-in-law criticize you."

The old Su family is not an unscrupulous family.

After finishing it, everyone sat in the room and talked.

After eating the shepherd's purse pancakes made by Mrs. Su, Su Sanzhu returned to the woodshed alone.

There is no place for him in this house.

The old lady knew that he didn't cause any trouble when he went up the mountain, so she was very kind to him and let him take a hot bath.

"You two, hurry up and tell us what's going on.

Why is it that everyone in the village is praising you two for your abilities? "

"They say you brought back those wild boars."

Everyone in the Su family knows that the men in their family are the 'one in a hundred' unlucky ones.

Hitting one out of a hundred shots is a big deal.

Su Laoer proudly described the scene to everyone.

The crowd was speechless.

Then, he laughed out loud, which was really unkind.

"I didn't expect that the third child is still useful. It can be used as a living target. Next time I go into the mountains again, I have to take the third child with me."

"I didn't expect the third child to have such ability. Let him give us eyes another day. I have never seen anyone being walked by a pig in my whole life." Old Man Su was curious.

Su Hanlin brought several wild animals back from the threshing floor. The dying and injured hares, roe deer, and pheasants entered the space and were fed with spiritual spring water, and they immediately became lively and vigorous.

Su Dashan clicked several times and felt that something was missing, but he couldn't count. He scratched his head and simply stopped thinking about it.

This much meat is enough.

Maybe those few were lost on the road.

The injured wild animals in the harem are all female, and they are still pregnant with their children.

The hen that used to be so skinny in the Su family is now so fat that it can't walk, and its round butt trembles three times with every step.

A lot of eggs have been laid by now. The hens are hatching chicks, followed by a group of chickens, making the space extremely lively.

There are a lot more birds in the sky, maybe it’s time to get some fun things for the Su family’s children.

It took the villagers of Datong Village three hours to clean up the wild boars. Su Jialuo received a total of 40 kilograms of meat, 15 kilograms of wild boar meat, 10 kilograms of roe deer meat, and 15 kilograms of goat meat.

There are many households in their Datong Village, with a total of [-] households in total.

The population is prosperous, but it is too poor.

After all, a family can get more than ten kilograms of meat.

That night, the Su family had a sumptuous feast of meat and vegetables.

Ten kilograms of goat were stewed with wolfberry and half a kilogram of red dates left at home, and half a kilogram of brown sugar was added to nourish yin and yang, which is particularly good for Tong Xiaying's health.

Two eight-pound chickens were stewed with potatoes. The potato flour was glutinous, sweet, and very delicious.

The only vegetarian dish is vinegared cabbage.

I also made ten lids of shepherd’s purse and pork dumplings, and sauerkraut and pork dumplings.

In winter, their Su family had fresh vegetables, so naturally they couldn't waste them.

This meal of meat was the most meat they had ever eaten in their lives.
