Eating melons

The night is very quiet and peaceful tonight. The Red Star Brigade is already covered with a thick layer of silver frost, and the heavy snow like goose feathers adds a touch of white to the Red Star Brigade.

The deep traces left by Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin when they dragged the things back were almost completely covered by the heavy snow.

Although the night was quiet, three families of the new educated youth were planning to work all night.

That is Xiao Xuele, Li Zhibin and Wu Mei, yes, Wu Mei too.

Although everyone said there was no rush, Wu Mei still wanted to pack up their things as soon as possible.

In one afternoon and the first half of the night, Wu Mei had already processed all thirty chickens, ducks and geese of Wei Wei and Jiang Qi.

Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin worked on it all night and still hadn't finished.

It was not until the next morning that Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu finally cleaned up the rough work.

All the prey was plucked and cleaned, but the internal organs were not completely processed.

Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu poured all the basins of blood away.

Yu Xi didn't sleep well last night and kept hearing rustling sounds.

Yu Xi knew that it must be Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu who were busy.

Yu Xitian, who couldn't sleep, got up at dawn and smelled the strong smell of blood as soon as he got up.

He was not too surprised. He had guessed that Xiao Xuemu must have gone hunting in the mountains yesterday, so he was not surprised to hear this.

But judging from the strong smell, I guess Xiao Xuemu must have had a good harvest. I just don’t know if I can go to Xiao Xuemu to buy some meat.

As soon as Yu Xi got up, he took a shovel and shoveled the snow in the yard. It snowed heavily last night, and now there was a thick layer of snow in front of the house.

Yu Xi was shoveling snow when the door of Li Zhibin's house opened. Yu Xi was stunned when he saw Li Zhibin holding blood.

Li Zhibin was fine because he heard the sound of Yu Xi shoveling snow when he was in the house just now.

Yu Xi spoke first, "Do you need help?"

Seeing that it was already daybreak, Li Zhibin didn't hesitate and said, "Thank you very much."

After saying that, he opened the door.

Li Zhibin's prey were all prey that had not been completely processed, and they were all prey thrown out by Xiao Xuemu in those traps.

As for the prey that Xiao Xuemu hunted yesterday and the deer and pheasant in some of the traps, they had already been dealt with.

Some of it was sent to the back of Xiao Xuemu's house and froze there. It should have been frozen solid by now.

Another part was kept in Xiao Xuemu's house, and most of it was to be sent to Wei Wei and Jiang Qi.

But even if only a part of the prey was caught, it was still a lot, three wild boars, all of which were quite large, and two roe deer.

Yu Xi was still very shocked when he saw it, although he knew that Xiao Xuemu must have hunted a lot, after all, there was such a strong smell of blood.

But I didn’t expect there would be so much snow, so heavy, in just one day, and there was also a large hunting and guarding team on the mountain.

Yu Xi asked, "Can I buy some meat with you?"

Xiao Xuemu nodded and said, "Sure, I can give you half of the wild boar."

Originally, he thought it would be good enough to buy a few pounds of meat, but he didn't expect Xiao Xuemu to give him so much, even half a wild boar.

The reason why Yu Xi was so surprised was not because he couldn't afford it. On the contrary, the more Xiao Xuemu and the others sold, the happier Yu Xi was.

Because he was not short of money at all, but he was short of meat, so he could make the leftover meat into jerky and send it back.

After all, although his family was well off, meat was limited in the city, and unless they bought it on the black market, even his family could not afford to eat meat every day.

With Yu Xi's joining, the only things that had not been processed were the internal organs. Now the processing was faster and all these things were processed before everyone got up.

Of course, Xiao Xuemu did not let Yu Xi work for nothing. He gave him a basin of offal and also sold you half a pig's meat at the black market price.

However, Xiao Xuemu kept all the wild boar stomachs and pig intestines because Wei Wei and Jiang Qi particularly liked them.

After processing, the two men hid most of the meat in the snow pile behind the house and froze it, and opened the door to ventilate and dissipate the bloody smell.

He also shoveled away and disposed of all the dirty snow, and Xiao Xuemu skillfully took out a bundle of hay and lit it.

After a while, the smell of blood around here almost dissipated.

When Yu Xi saw this, he immediately knew that Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin were old hands. It was obvious that they had done this many times, even using things that smelled bloody.

Therefore, apart from the new educated youth, no one knew that Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin had obtained so much meat.

Even if there was still a slight smell of blood and fish outside, no one would think much of it, after all, they bought so many chickens, ducks and geese yesterday.

When Liu Jiaojiao woke up, she was a little surprised to see that Wu Mei had not gotten up yet.

Thinking about how Wu Mei had to help deal with so many chickens, ducks and geese yesterday, Liu Jiaojiao guessed that Wu Mei must have worked all night.

Seeing that Yu Xi had already gotten up, Liu Jiaojiao planned to go find Yu Xi. When she saw the big piece of pork in Yu Xi's house, she was stunned.

He reacted immediately and looked towards Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin. Sure enough, they had both gotten up.

Xiao Xuemu has returned. It seems that these were done by Xiao Xuemu. Yu Xi must have bought them from Xiao Xuemu.

"Brother Yu, are they still selling this meat? How much is one pound?"

Yu Xi shook his head. "I don't know, but they have a lot of them. They should still be selling them. The price is the same as on the black market."

After all, since they were willing to sell him so much meat, they would definitely think that Liu Jiaojiao and Wu Mei would also buy it, not to mention Wei Wei and Jiang Qi.

Therefore, Yu Xi guessed that Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin would still sell it.

After hearing this, Liu Jiaojiao immediately walked towards Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin.

The meat in Li Zhibin's house has not been put away yet. Liu Jiaojiao was shocked to see so much meat in Li Zhibin's house. She thought there must be one and a half wild boar meats left!

Seeing Liu Jiaojiao, Li Zhibin raised his eyebrows and asked, "You want meat?"

Liu Jiaojiao nodded and said, "I don't know if you will sell it or not, but don't worry, I will keep it a secret and won't tell anyone."

Li Zhibin nodded and said, "Sell it. There's another one here. Do you want one?"

This meat was dug out from the trap. Although it is still edible, it was not long after all dead and was frozen stiff.

But the meat is never as fresh as fresh pork meat. The brigade still has several pigs to slaughter, and the brigade members also have pigs at home.

Most families in the Red Star Brigade have two pigs, one mission pig and one their own pig.

If there is only one pig, half of it will be a task pig and the other half can be kept at home.

Therefore, when the brigade slaughters pigs, they can still buy a lot, and the brigade's hunting and guarding team will be back soon, so there will be prey at that time.

The meat will be fresher, so just buy more when the time comes. Besides, the pork will not be as expensive as the price they sell it for.

Liu Jiaojiao was stunned when she saw the half pig. She didn't expect that the two of them were willing to pay so much.

If you don't grab a good opportunity, you'll miss it. If you don't grab such a good opportunity, you'll miss it, and once you miss it, it's gone.

Liu Jiaojiao said without hesitation, "Yes, wait a moment while I go get the money," and then she went back to get the money.
