Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

Several people looked up at Zhao Yuanzhen and frowned, and then they also looked up and found that it was a wild goat.

Mutton is very delicious and we all got excited at once.

But when I discovered that this sheep was incredibly sensitive, my excitement was suppressed.

If it were walking on the ground, even if it ran fast, with several of them chasing and blocking it, they would always be able to catch one or two.

But this group could fly, they jumped on the branches above their heads, and they could also jump onto the cliffs and walk up against the cliffs, giving them no chance to meet.

The only option now is to act quickly and knock it down before it can react.

Stones definitely won't work.

Zhao Yuanzhen rummaged through it and took out the iron rod she had used before.

This one is solid and long. If I throw it quickly and hard, maybe it will be possible.

Zhao Yuanzhen made a hushing gesture, took two steps back with the iron rod in his hand, and observed the position of the goat.

The goat is now standing in the direction of the branch. If it is frightened, it can only run forward to jump. If it is suddenly frightened, it should be impossible to turn around and jump away.

Zhao Yuanzhen bet that it would go forward. When he threw the iron rod, he also threw it forward a little bit as expected.

Then he exerted force suddenly and threw the iron rod in his hand quickly.

The iron rod passed through the leaves and flew towards the goat, and the goat jumped up instantly when it heard the sound.

puff.

The goat fell to the ground, but it still struggled to jump forward. However, the iron pipe on its leg made all its struggles in vain.

The position Zhao Yuanzhen predicted was still a little close, and the iron pipe only passed through the wild goat's hind legs.

If you move it a little further back, you won't be able to penetrate the goat.

This thing is really fast.

Zhao Yuanzhen walked up and pulled out the iron rod. Then he tied it up with ropes, tying up the four legs.

Hearing it bleating non-stop, Zhao Yuanzhen was afraid that it would pass on information to its companions, so she simply took a piece of cloth and tied its mouth.

After the commotion just now, the few that were close by all ran away.

Zhao Yuanzhen carried the sheep and took them to find the fruit tree first.

It's a wild persimmon tree.

Several wild persimmon trees grew together in a cluster, with bright yellow persimmons hanging on their branches.

They are relatively small and there are not many of them. There are only about a hundred of these trees in total.

There may be less fruit due to drought, or the fruit may be eaten by birds or other animals.

Zhao Yuanzhen put down the goat and told them to pick persimmons here.

If you don’t come back after picking the fruits, you can dig wild vegetables nearby, but you can’t go too far. The mountains are not safe.

She was going to catch a goat.

You definitely won’t be able to catch the ones on the cliffs, so you have to look for those eating young leaves on the trees.

Zhao Yuanzhen searched slowly under the cliff.

After searching for more than ten minutes, I finally saw a few more in the woods.

She tried again, but missed. She ran away.

I had to pick up the iron rod and continue searching.

Just like that, it escapes and she chases. It can fly without wings.

It took almost two hours to string two more.

One went through the stomach, and the other went through the head. Soon they were both dead.

Put it into the space quickly.

Dead sheep must be bled in time, otherwise their internal organs will slowly grow green hair and the mutton will not taste good.

I don’t know how to bleed myself, so I can only make some space for my sons to deal with it.

Zhao Yuanzhen had been doing the intense exercise of throwing iron bars, picking up iron bars, and chasing sheep for the past two hours. She could feel the sweat dripping down her face.

Leaning on her iron stick, she walked back to the persimmon tree.

Seeing that everyone is safe, maybe this is the chassis of wild goats, so there are no other wild animals.

The fighting power of wild goats is also terrifying. Their horns can basically pierce any animal.

Then I sat down on the stone with peace of mind. I was so tired that I decided to take a rest for a while.

"Mom, you're back. Did you encounter any danger? Why do I feel like you're not in good condition?"

"It's okay, I'm just too tired from running."

"Grandma, did you catch the goat?"

"We caught two and cooked some mutton for Xiao Zijin when we got home."

“Yes, I love lamb the most.”

Zhang Zijin’s favorite is so watery that every meal is his favorite.

After resting for a while, they packed up the wild vegetables and started walking back.

When they were almost able to meet other people, Zhao Yuanzhen took out the two goats from the space.

She wanted to cover up for eating mutton openly in the future.

People they met on the road were all shocked at their good luck, and were also shocked that they could actually kill these wild goats, and three of them at that.

Zhao Yuanzhen responded casually, saying it was just good luck.

After returning to the cave, he quickly called his son to cut open the two dead ones, drain their blood, and then skin them. The living one would be killed later.

Zhao Yuanzhen thought that she would definitely not be able to finish the three of them at home. She could pickle some of them and dry them in the sun, but she would not need three of them. However, she could not give them away to the villagers for nothing.

It will encourage unhealthy tendencies.

Then sell it, and sell it at a slightly lower price. This way, the villagers can both appreciate her kindness and process the mutton, and her family won't eat the meat and make other families jealous.

Zhao Yuanzhen asked Zhang Xinshu to find Zhang Sandao and the village chief.

I picked out the good meat and cut 5 jin, preparing to give it to the village chief later. Then I prepared to keep the sheep's feet and head for Zhang Sandao. I don't like to eat this. It's too troublesome to prepare.

I kept all the offal for myself, as I liked to eat it myself. I sold the lamb chops if there were any, but ate them myself if there were none.

After a while, Zhang Sandao and the village chief arrived.

They had heard that Zhao Yuanzhen had killed three wild goats, but they were still surprised when they actually saw it.

The Qinghe family is too powerful. They are more powerful than the strong men in their village.

"Dad, Second Grandpa, this is what's going on. My family can't finish eating all of my three sheep. Although the weather is a bit cold, fresh meat won't last long. I thought if anyone in the village wants to eat some, I could sell some."

"Yes, that's the truth. If we just leave it there, it won't last long. How much do you plan to sell it for? I'll go and promote it for you."

The village chief thought that this granddaughter-in-law was quite capable and was willing to help her.

"Normally the price in town is 40 wen per jin, but we are all from the same village, so we sell it for 25 wen per jin."

Zhao Yuanzhen felt that the price should not be too low, but should also be affordable, so a slightly higher price of 25 would be enough.

"Okay, this price is very affordable. I'll go call someone for you right away." The village chief turned around and was about to leave.

Zhao Yuanzhen quickly handed him the cut mutton.

"Second Grandfather, take it home and eat it. Think of it as your granddaughter-in-law honoring you. You work so hard for the village every day."

"Well, since you put it that way, I won't be polite, Second Grandpa." The village chief smiled and walked away with the mutton.

Zhang Sandao was already helping to kill the sheep.

After killing all three sheep, Zhao Yuanzhen took out the livers, lungs, hearts and stomachs and handed them to her daughter-in-law to clean.

Soon people from the village came to buy mutton.

After removing the head, hooves and internal organs of a sheep, there is not much meat, only about 40 pounds.

Zhang Sandao cut the meat, Zhang Xinnian weighed it, and Li Zhijuan collected the money. The scales were all high. Everyone was very happy.

A total of two sheep's mutton was sold.

One of the sheep bones was bought by Wudao from the village chief's family.

He has a large family and wanted to buy more. Seeing that there was quite a lot of meat on the sheep bones, he bought them all, even the sheep head and hooves.

Zhao Yuanzhen took 100 coins as a symbol. She left a lot of meat on the sheep bones, so she didn't remove it so cleanly.

I thought I could eat it myself if I couldn't sell it. The meat on the bones must be at least five pounds. I charged him 100 coins, which was really a friendly price.

Zhang Qinghai's family asked for the other sheep's head and hoof, and Zhao Yuanzhen symbolically collected a total of 20 cents.

There was only one sheep left, and Zhang Sandao helped to carry all the meat off. A lot of meat was also left on the sheep bones. Zhao Yuanzhen decided to cook the sheep meat in the afternoon.

It seems that no one comes to buy.

Zhao Yuanzhen put one of the sheep bones, sheep head and sheep hooves into a basket and gave it to Zhang Sandao to take back. She also gave him two sheep hind legs.

Zhang Sandao said that it was too much and he didn't want to take it. Zhao Yuanzhen quickly said that none of the food at home could be eaten or it would go bad. Only then did he accept it.

He went back carrying the basket.

Zhao Yuanzhen quickly took out some buns and shared them with everyone to fill their stomachs. It was already past 2 o'clock.

I didn't even have time to eat lunch.

Remind everyone not to eat too much and eat the hand-pulled meat later.

After eating the buns, Qian Xiaohui found a large basin and washed the blood from the mutton.

Pour cold water into a large pot, wait for the water to boil, skim off the foam, then add onion segments, ginger slices, a little white wine and start cooking.

It takes about two hours to cook the lamb.

Zhao Yuanzhen looked at the remaining mutton. Now, there was only mutton from one sheep, two lamb legs and about 20 kilograms of meat.

The lamb bones were enough for the evening, so Zhao Yuanzhen put the lamb legs and lamb meat in a wooden basin and stored them away.

It is better to keep it in your own space to keep it fresher.

You don't need to watch the mutton pot, just lick the firewood occasionally.

Qian Xiaohui washed the sheep's internal organs and started cooking them in another large pot.

These offal are cooked, cut into strips and put together. When you want to eat mutton offal later, you can just take it out, which is very convenient.

The others started packing up as they were going to set off tomorrow.

First boil water and fill the water hyacinths.

Clean the carriage. It has been raining a lot, so there are spots of mud on it. Now that it is dry, sweep it up quickly.

In the cave, unused tableware and large wooden boxes were packed up.

Most of the food was packed up, leaving only a few bags as cover.

We will encounter many refugees on the next journey, and it will not be safe to put so much food in the car.

Some people were organizing their things, some were cleaning.

Waves of mutton aroma wafted in the air.

Zhao Yuanzhen bought some chive sauce. How can you eat lamb without chives, the soul partner?

When the sheep bones were cooked, Qian Xiaohui found a large basin, fished out the sheep bones, put them on the table, and added the dipping sauce of chive sauce and chili sauce.

Zhao Yuanzhen took out some sparkling water.

Everyone just picked it up and ate it. There were also a few small fruit knives placed next to it. Zhao Yuanzhen took out some.

For places with more meat, use a fruit knife to cut it into slices and eat it with chives and chili sauce. This way you won’t feel sick of it.

You can just nibble on the parts with less meat.

Zhao Yuanzhen took a small fruit knife and sliced ​​and ate at the same time.

This wild goat tastes better than the pasture goats I ate before. It is pure nature, without any feed. And it exercises a lot every day.

The meat is tender and not smelly. People who eat it can't stop eating it. Soak it in water for a while. It is very refreshing.
