Jiang Yuwei divided the wolf meat into several pieces. This time, she had to cook and serve the people at home, so she naturally couldn't sell the wolf meat and had to eat it at home first.

Jiang Yuwei first took a few pieces of meat, marinated them with salt, and hung them on the beam in the kitchen. She then made a stew with the wolf's entrails and offal, and used the wolf bones to make a large pot of soup, which she would save for everyone to drink tomorrow.

At this time, Jiang Yuwei was extremely grateful that she had asked someone to build a stove in the yard. Otherwise, one stove would not be enough to use so much wolf meat.

Although she was busy processing the wolf meat, Jiang Yuwei was also paying attention to the movements outside the house.

Jiang Yuwei looked at the two wolf ribs and felt a little worried. Suddenly, she thought of roasting them over a fire in the yard. So she put them in a pot and marinated them, and then roasted them over a fire the next morning and served them on the table.

After Jiang Yuwei finished her work, she was naturally happy when she saw the full box of wolf meat. This also saved her the money she would have had to spend on buying meat.

In fact, hosts like Jiang Yuwei who have paid wages do not need to serve so well. Even if they just make wild vegetable porridge for the villagers, as long as they are full, no one will say anything.

But Jiang Yuwei thought that everyone came here to do physical work, and they must not be treated badly in terms of food. Naturally, she also had some selfish thoughts. Now that she had separated from her family in Ningjia Village, she had no relatives in her natal family who she could rely on.

Ning Huaizhi's legs are not in good condition, and she will need help from fellow villagers in many chores at home in the future. Now that her reputation for generosity has spread, the people in Ningjia Village will naturally remember her well. If everyone can lend a hand when she is in trouble in the future, she will be satisfied.

Jiang Yuwei was busy until the second half of the night. She went outside the house for another round of inspection and replenished the extinguished torches. Only then did she feel at ease to enter the yard and take a bath in the spiritual spring water. Her strength had been restored a lot.

But Jiang Yuwei was still afraid that the wolves would come down the mountain again in the second half of the night, so she woke up Ning Huaizhi, helped him sit in a wheelchair, pushed him to the kitchen in the outer room and asked him to watch over it before she went to bed.

Jiang Yuwei felt that she heard Ning Huaizhi's shouting not long after she fell asleep:

"Yuwei, Yuwei, wake up quickly, I hear some noise outside the house!"

Jiang Yuwei woke up immediately and hurriedly woke up the two children. The family of four looked nervous. Jiang Yuwei took the fork in the yard, Ning Zhao took the stick beside the kang, and protected Ning Wan behind him. Ning Huaizhi also nervously took out his slingshot and mud balls.

Jiang Yuwei first walked to the gate of the yard and observed the movements outside the house through the crack in the door. After looking carefully for a while and seeming not to see any trace of the wolves, she bravely opened the door and walked out carefully. Jiang Yuwei had just taken a few steps when a loud rooster crowed suddenly.

Even though Jiang Yuwei was brave, she was still frightened. After she reacted, she followed the sound and found that it was a pheasant that had fallen into the trap. Jiang Yuwei was overjoyed and hurriedly went down to catch the pheasant and brought it back to the yard and smiled at Ning Huai:

"It was a false alarm. It was a pheasant."

The sky was already turning pale and the four of them had no desire to sleep any longer. Jiang Yuwei ordered Ning Zhao and Ning Wan to cut some grass to feed the rabbits and pheasants. Since there was still so much wolf meat at home, the pheasants would naturally have to be raised for a few days and then killed after all the wolf meat was eaten.

Jiang Yuwei saw that there were only a few steamed buns left from yesterday. Since she got up early today, she could steam more buns to eat. So she prepared the dough and went to wake her up. She took firewood and built a fire in the yard, preparing to roast the wolf ribs.

After Ning Huaizhi helped to serve the braised food from the pot, he cut a small plate, brought it to the table, and took out a few steamed buns left over from yesterday. The four of them sat together and had breakfast.

Jiang Yuwei counted the days and knew she would go to town to sell fried cakes tomorrow. She lit a fire and asked Ning Huaizhi to watch over the grilling of the wolf chops while she hurried to grind the soy milk and make the red bean paste.

After the family of four finished their breakfast, the villagers who came to work also entered the yard. They couldn't help swallowing their saliva when they smelled the aroma of the braised food. Everyone took a look at the meat in the pot and worked more vigorously.

When Ning Huaizhi was grilling wolf ribs in the yard, everyone's eyes widened and some even drooled.

Jiang Yuwei put the kneaded buns into the pot and asked Ning Zhao to light the fire to steam the buns. She was busy soaking the soybeans and red beans and preparing wolf bone soup for the villagers at noon.

In the evening, Jiang Yuwei thought about cooking soy milk to quench everyone's thirst first. So she soaked more beans today, after all, she could sell more at the market tomorrow, and the family really needed money right now.

Jiang Yuwei had been busy for the whole morning. Seeing that Ning Huaizhi had finished roasting the wolf ribs, she invited everyone to come and eat.

Everyone had eaten meat for several days in a row, so when they saw the wolf ribs, they lost their previous excitement. After eating quickly, they went back to work.

In the evening, the head of the village came to check the progress and was very surprised:

"My eldest brother's wife, your family really did a good and quick job. It only took a few days to build a house. It's worth your effort to entertain the villagers."

Jiang Yuwei smiled gently and said:

"I also want to thank the village head for helping me find some suitable people to do the work. Otherwise, how could a woman like me handle it? Tonight I want to make fried cakes and soy milk, and there are also leftover wolf ribs from lunch. The village head stayed and we can eat together."

When the head of the village heard that there were wolf ribs to eat, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva and accepted it without any hesitation.

This time, Jiang Yuwei still prepared two buckets of soy milk and two backpacks of fried cakes. She originally wanted to take the braised wolfberries from yesterday to the market to sell, but when she thought about the many helpers at home who also needed food, and that Ning Huaizhi would not be able to go to the market to help tomorrow and had to stay at home to supervise the work, she thought that even if she brought the braised food, she would not be able to handle it, so she gave up.

夜晚

Jiang Yuwei finally prepared the food for tomorrow's market and the meals to be left for the villagers tomorrow. She also gave some instructions to Ning Huaizhi and the two children before she went to bed with peace of mind.

The next morning, Jiang Yuwei hurriedly ate breakfast and wanted to go to the village entrance to drive the ox cart. Unexpectedly, Uncle Ning drove the ox cart directly to her door to pick her up first.

Jiang Yuwei said very embarrassedly:

"Uncle Ning, I thought that since Huaizhi wasn't going to the market today, I wouldn't have to trouble you to make this trip."

Seeing this, Uncle Ning Wu hurriedly got out of the car to help her move things, and said with a smile as he moved:

"It's okay. Our two families don't need to worry about this. I thought you would have a lot of things to sell at the market. I'm old and don't sleep much anyway, so it's okay for me to get up early and pick you up."

Jiang Yuwei was very moved when she heard Uncle Ning Wu's words, so she took out eight coins and stuffed them into Uncle Ning Wu's hand, then smiled and said:

"Uncle Ning Wu, you are right. It is really difficult for me to move these things by myself. I will give you an extra three cents for the ride in the future. I am asking you to come and give me a ride. It is not a small amount of money, so please do not refuse. I am going to the market to sell goods, and I carry more things than others. I should have given you this money a long time ago."

Seeing Jiang Yuwei's determination, Uncle Ning could no longer refuse. He had to rush to the village entrance to pick up others, so he drove the ox cart away.

Ning Huaizhi saw all of this in the yard. He only hated that his crippled legs could not heal quickly. At the same time, he was very grateful to the villagers for taking care of his family. But then he thought, if his wife was not generous and grateful, how could others treat his family like this.

After thinking it over, he decided to be thankful that he had accidentally married a good wife. Ning Huaizhi smiled and went back to the yard to busy himself with the tasks assigned by his wife.
