Chapter 80: Drying Meat
Speaking of General Dai, Zhou Jiyuan suddenly took out a small cloth bag from his pocket.
He handed it to his wife like a treasure and said, "Mother, this is the meat I snatched from the wild cat's mouth for you. This is the only small piece I snatched."
After Zhou Jiyuan finished speaking, he turned around and said to the two young ladies with an apologetic look, "I'm sorry, my two sisters-in-law. I wanted to leave some for you, but the wild cat ate it all."
"Grab this piece and give it to mother."
The two young ladies were also curious: "Why is Yuan fighting with the wild cat for meat?"
"Mom, come and see what this treasure is. Yuan spent so much effort to leave it for you."
The lady took the small cloth bag handed to her by Zhou Jiyuan and glanced at Zhou Chenli. Zhou Chenli smiled at her with ill intentions: "Open it quickly and take a look. Your son almost fought a wild cat for this piece of meat."
When the lady opened the small cloth bag, she saw a piece of something about the size and thickness of an index finger, crooked, hard and black.
The eldest lady was curious, so she stretched her head to take a look, and wow!
The eldest lady almost vomited again, thinking to herself: What did Yuan give to my mother-in-law? It was like a treasure, but it looked like a black piece of dog poop.
When she thought of dog poop, the lady couldn't help but feel like vomiting again.
She quickly picked up the juice in front of her and took a big sip to stop herself from vomiting. She didn't want to spoil everyone's fun.
Seeing his wife feeling unwell, the eldest son quickly reached out his hand and gently stroked her back, asking in a low voice, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell again? Will this make you feel better?"
The eldest lady's pretty face flushed with shame: "Oh, my husband, please stop it, my mother-in-law and the others are watching us."
The lady held this small piece of dog poop as if it were a hot potato.
If she threw it away, she was afraid her son would be sad, but if she didn't throw it away, she really didn't want to see it.
It's a bit disgusting indeed.
Zhou Jiyuan didn't care what his wife and the others thought. He worked hard to take credit for it in front of his wife: "Mom, this dried meat is made from pork from southern Xinjiang. It's delicious."
"General Dai said that the sows in southern Xinjiang are raised on seafood, so their meat is very delicious."
"The general brought me a pig on his cart, and this little piece was all that was left. I'm saving it for you."
Zhou Chenli was amused by his wife's embarrassment and looked at her threateningly: "That Dai Laosi is just fooling Yuan. There are no pigs that eat seafood. Only your stupid son believes his lies."
Upon hearing this, the lady quickly handed the small piece of dried meat that looked like dog poop to Zhou Chenli: "Master, aren't you going to the palace to see the emperor tomorrow?"
"This dried meat from southern Xinjiang happened to be brought to the emperor. Let's say it's a gift that Yuan brought back for him from afar."
After saying that, the lady reached out and pinched Zhou Jiyuan's face, and said with a smile: "Take this and let your uncle open his eyes. Your uncle will definitely not be able to guess what this is."
Zhou Jiyuan also laughed when he heard it: "That's right, how could I forget about my uncle the emperor?"
In order to get this little bit of dried meat, Zhou Jiyuan chased the wild cat for two blocks and snatched it from the cat's mouth. It was very precious.
After Zhou Chenli and his men set out from General Dai's camp, he began to fall asleep in the carriage.
He hadn't eaten or slept well for the past ten days. When he finally escaped from Dai Laosi's clutches, Zhou Chenli felt like he was about to die.
The guards brought in cooked food, but Zhou Chenli vomited as soon as he saw it. He couldn't eat anything now, and even drinking water would make him vomit for a long time.
Zhou Jiyuan was so worried: "Dad, what's wrong with you? Why are you vomiting more violently than my mother?"
"Don't pregnant women vomit at the sight of anything? Are you pregnant too?"
Zhou Chenli: "Get out of the carriage, you're pregnant."
He didn't have the energy to scold his son now, he just wanted to lie down and sleep.
Zhou Jiyuan was riding outside with his guards. Guard Sun rode up to Zhou Jiyuan and said, "Young Master, let me discuss something."
"Eat that old sow now. If you don't eat the meat, it will stink."
The guard who could cook just now came to tell Guard Sun that the pig was starting to stink. He asked him to ask the young master and if there was no other solution, he could just eat it.
After hearing this, Zhou Jiyuan followed Guard Sun to the carriage at the back where the pork was placed. When he smelled it, he found that there seemed to be a strange smell coming out.
Zhou Jiyuan: "Can't you think of a way to bring this meat back to the capital so my mother and the others can taste it?"
Zhou Jiyuan is really a filial son. Whenever he eats something delicious, he always thinks of bringing a bite for his mother.
The guard who could cook began to give Zhou Jiyuan some advice: "Young Master, it's definitely not possible to bring them all back to the capital."
"We'll eat half on the way and dry the remaining half into jerky to take back. What do you think, young master?"
Zhou Jiyuan thought about it and it seemed like it might be okay.
The beef jerky that Sister Xu brought him was quite fragrant. His mother would also like this pork after it's been dried, but the jerky is a bit rough on the teeth and not as chewy as fresh meat.
But the question of where to dry the meat was a problem. The road was in the wilderness, and they couldn't stop the carriage to wait for the meat to be dried.
Finally, after some discussion, a few people cut up the meat and hung it on the carriage with thin ropes.
In this way, the meat can be dried as they walk, and by the time it reaches the capital, it will almost be dried.
A few people started working as soon as they said they would. When they stopped to rest, the guards started cutting the meat with knives and hanging it around the carriage.
When Zhou Chenli woke up, he smelled the aroma of meat outside the carriage, which made him a little hungry. He knew that the guards were preparing a meal.
Zhou Chenli pushed open the door and got out of the carriage, and saw red and fresh meat strips hanging all around the carriage shed.
Blood was still dripping from the strip of meat, creating a strange smell around the carriage.
Zhou Chenli frowned, pointed at the strips of meat and asked the guard, "What are you doing? It makes the car smell bad."
The guard hurriedly explained to Zhou Chenli, "Master, it was the young master who ordered us to carve up the pig. We'll eat some of it on the way, and we want to dry the rest into jerky and bring it back to the capital for the ladies to taste."
"There's no place to dry the meat, so we just hang it on the carriage."
Zhou Chenli angrily threw his sleeves and cursed, "Nonsense! How can anyone sit in this carriage with all that meat hanging on it?"
"You little bastard, I'll deal with you after I'm full."
Zhou Chenli smelled the aroma of meat not far away and felt so hungry that he could eat a mouthful of pork. He hadn't felt hungry for several days, so he decided to eat first.
After Zhou Chenli finished a large bowl of steamed buns in meat soup, he continued to vomit.
His stomach, which had finally felt better, continued to churn, and he had no time to scold Zhou Jiyuan.
Guard Sun and his men were so frightened that they rushed to the next provincial capital overnight. When they arrived at the inn in the city, a group of wild dogs with green eyes were following behind the carriage.
When they arrived at the inn, Guard Sun called a local doctor for Zhou Chenli. After examining him, the doctor said that Zhou Chenli had damaged his spleen and stomach and told him to rest in the city for a few days before continuing on his journey.
Then, the wild cats and dogs around the inn began to circle around the carriage in groups.
