After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land
Chapter 98 Divide the Meat
As soon as Boss Wei appeared, the villagers enthusiastically made way for him to enter.
There was a big pot next to the three wild boars. The charcoal underneath was burning red and the water in the pot had boiled.
The four little wild boars were not brought here, so they were placed over at the charcoal kiln. It was a bit too cruel to let the little pigs watch the big pigs being eaten.
Ye Qing had a smile on her face as she squatted beside the big pig, waiting to watch the pig being slaughtered. She had never seen it before.
The children in the village regretted following the adults down here. Hunting wild boars is such fun. They don’t know when they will encounter one next time.
Before fleeing the famine, the Wei family was in the meat business, so slaughtering pigs was a piece of cake for them. In a short while, all the meat was divided.
"Uncle Wei, leave some meat on the bones, the ribs are delicious." Ye Qing has never eaten ribs since he came here, and he has been dreaming about ribs recently.
Seeing that no one around objected, Boss Wei chopped the ribs quickly and then went on to deal with the internal organs.
"Come here, two guys, give me a hand, I'm going to cut the pork into small pieces." Boss Wei pointed at two people with full energy.
The village head discussed with the elders and decided to distribute the three wild boars to the villagers. There was still about a month before the Chinese New Year, so there was no need to buy more.
The three pig heads will be kept and used for ancestor worship during the Chinese New Year. This is the first year that I am celebrating the Chinese New Year in a foreign land, so I will talk to my ancestors and ask them to bless the children with good luck.
The four little wild boars were divided among the Wei brothers. They planned to raise them and continue the meat business in the future. The money from the piglets would be deducted from their wages.
After the three wild boars were divided, some were left for cooking in the evening, and the rest were distributed to the villagers. The wild boar was discovered by Ye Qing, who was given an extra portion of ribs with a thick layer of meat.
And those who participated in catching the pigs today will each get an extra pound of meat.
Wei Lao Da didn't have time to eat the last meal, and his face was pale from exhaustion. Wei Lao Er felt sorry for his brother and helped to deal with the rest.
In the evening, the pig-killing meal was ready. Each person was given a large bowl of processed internal organs, pig blood, and some pickled vegetables. Everyone ate without even looking up.
"It's so comfortable. I haven't eaten meat in such a big bite for a long time. This is like a heavenly day." As soon as Ye Zhu finished speaking, everyone around him laughed. In fact, everyone had the same idea.
Ye Qing carried the ribs that were allocated to her and went home with her family. Ye Dalang wanted to help carry it, but she refused. Only when she carried it herself did it feel real.
Zhou couldn't help laughing when she saw her daughter's appearance. When they got home, Ye Qing first fetched water to remove the blood from the ribs, and then asked Zhou to put them away and wait for her brother to come back to stew them together.
Ye Qing had been running all day and was dirty. Boss Ye helped him get some hot water and he soaked in it for a while before going back to sleep comfortably.
In the early morning, the weather was even colder. The sky was filled with leaden clouds. At noon, a biting cold wind blew, and everyone in the village who had free time went to the mountains to cut trees.
The bamboo forest is also very lively. People also need to store some bamboo. Bamboo charcoal is cheap and business is also good.
"Qingya, there's no need to pick up these branches. Let those guys do it, and you find something easier to do." Aunt Niu felt sorry for Ye Qing as she struggled to hold the branches.
Aunt Hua looked over when she heard this. "Qingya, listen to your Aunt Niu. Go to the charcoal kiln and help light the fire. It's warm over there."
The villagers felt sorry for Ye Qing, and Ye Qing also felt sorry for the villagers. "Auntie, I'm not tired. If I work harder, you guys will feel more relaxed."
Everyone around was very considerate when hearing this. The girl was the one who cared for others. "Good boy, I know you are capable. But everyone is thirsty after working all day, so boiling water is also important."
Ye Qing knew that his aunt was worried about him, so he stopped insisting and obediently went towards the charcoal kiln.
"Grandpa, where do these sweet potatoes come from?" Ye Qing was very confused when he saw two large baskets of sweet potatoes near the stove.
"Everyone brought it here. Let the cook help cook it and we can eat it when we come back soon." Old man Ye brought all the food he needed for his family in the morning.
Ye Qing didn't wash the sweet potatoes. He divided them into several portions, put them in several pots, and helped to cook them.
The villagers worked hard for five or six days, and finally chopped all the firewood they needed and placed it near the charcoal kiln. They would wait until it snowed before slowly processing the lengths.
Several charcoal kilns resumed charcoal burning, and the sky, which had been gloomy for several days, began to snow. The pure white snowflakes fluttered down, landing on the roofs and on the ground, like flowers scattered by fairies.
Liu Bao has not come to the village these days, and only asked Liu Chong to bring one person to load a car.
Ye Lizheng stopped Liu Chong who was about to leave, "Young man, tell Liu Bao that when the supply is restored tomorrow, you should bring more vehicles."
Liu Chong jumped off the ox cart and said cheerfully, "Grandpa Lizheng, we have charcoal. We will come early tomorrow morning. Many families in the city are waiting for the charcoal delivery, especially since it is snowing and the weather is even colder."
"Then you can make more trips tomorrow. It's raining heavily out back and the road is difficult to travel on."
"I'll listen to you. I'll leave first. The boss will definitely be happy to hear the news." Liu Chong pushed the cart away excitedly with his men.
Ye Qing was woken up early in the morning. Zhou touched the little girl's head and gently called her to get up.
"It's dawn now, it's so cold, I don't want to get up~"
"You forgot what the head of the village said yesterday. Your early morning exercise has been changed to snow sweeping. You are responsible for the section from the village to Tushan."
Ye Qing finally woke up and sat up. Zhou took the cotton-padded jacket that was heated on the charcoal basin and put it on Ye Qing.
"Mom, is the snow heavy? Is the rabbit cage okay?"
It was rare for Zhou to see her daughter act like a spoiled brat, and her heart softened. "It's not snowing heavily, your father has checked, everything is fine, hurry up, finish your meal, and go sweep the snow."
Ye Qing didn't delay any longer and quickly put on her clothes. When she finished washing up, Li had prepared breakfast.
Ye Qing quickly finished her breakfast, took the broom that Old Man Ye had tied for her, and went to the village entrance, calling her brother.
"Qingya, put on your gloves, don't get your hands cold." Mrs. Li called her granddaughter from behind.
"The milk is here, you should go back quickly, it's slippery outside." Ye Qing waved his hand and walked away.
When we got to the village entrance, almost all the children in the village had come over. They played while sweeping the snow, and after the snow was swept into a pile, they played snowball fights.
By the time they reached the charcoal kiln, it was almost noon. Liu Bao and his brothers came over in the light snow, "Qingya is sweeping the snow."
"We're clearing the snow. Is the road easy to drive on? How many trucks do we need today?" Ye Qing asked.
"The snow isn't heavy, but it's hard to walk on. We're pulling six trucks today and putting them in the yard first. We won't be afraid if it snows hard."
Liu Bao gave the car to another young man and walked beside him talking to Ye Qing.
Ye Qing led a few people to the charcoal shed and asked a child in the village to call people to weigh the charcoal.
"Qingya, why is the mountain so deserted today? Where have all the people in your village gone?"
