Large pieces of meat were skewered on wicker sticks and neatly placed on a plate.

Current conditions do not allow for a barbecue stove, so Chen Yuan can only roast the skewers smeared with lard in the stove pit.

After a while, the skewers of meat began to emit a fragrant aroma that made people salivate.

Yiyi, who was originally playing on the kang, smelled the fragrance, got off the kang, and ran to the kitchen barefoot.

"Wow! Dad, this smells so good!"

Just as a skewer of meat was cooked, Chen Yuan sprinkled some salt on it and handed it directly to Sun Weiwei.

"You two eat first, be careful of the heat."

Chen Yuan had experience this time, so he grilled six skewers at a time, and the oil dripping into the stove made a sizzling sound.

No need to add any seasoning, this skewers is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and very fragrant!

After a while, all the skewers were grilled and the family of three were eating with their mouths full of oil.

"Next time, let's grill some wild boar meat on skewers. I think it will taste pretty good too."

Chen Yuan still felt a little unsatisfied after finishing the last skewer of barbecue.

Sun Weiwei nodded and also thought that the roast pork would be good.

"I remember there's a piece of pork belly. I'll grill it when the time comes."

Chen Yuan got up and went to the kitchen to boil water, while Sun Weiwei put the dishes and leftovers into the kitchen cupboard.

After the hot water was ready, Chen Yuan took out the wooden bucket and asked Yiyi to go in and take a bath.

The little guy hadn't played in the water for a long time and kept giggling with joy.

After taking a bath, Sun Weiwei went to coax Yiyi to sleep first.

Chen Yuan took off his clothes and wiped his body with a towel.

When Sun Weiwei pushed the door open, Chen Yuan was standing naked in the living room, carefully wiping the water droplets off his body.

"I……"

Sun Weiwei quickly closed her eyes and turned back to the house.

Chen Yuan felt both angry and amused when he saw Sun Weiwei like this.

"Stand. What, haven't you seen your man before? Come here and help me wipe my back. I can't feel it."

Sun Weiwei blushed and wiped Chen Yuan's back with a towel.

Chen Yuan works all year round, so his body is full of tendons and his abdominal muscles are very tight.

As he was wiping, Chen Yuan pulled Sun Weiwei into his arms and whispered in her ear, "Honey, let me help you wipe it."

Having said that, Chen Yuan didn't care whether Sun Weiwei agreed or not, and directly started to help Sun Weiwei wipe her body.

After the two of them washed, Chen Yuanheng picked up Sun Weiwei and prepared to go back to the house.

Yiyi was still sleeping in the room. Sun Weiwei didn't dare to make any noise and could only bite her lips gently with her teeth.

Chen Yuan looked at Sun Weiwei and felt that the scene in front of him was even more tempting.

After a while, the only sounds in the room were the two people breathing heavily.

Thinking that he had to go to the black market tomorrow, Chen Yuan didn't bother Sun Weiwei too much.

After exercising and sweating all over, Chen Yuan took Sun Weiwei to wipe her body, changed her into clean clothes, and then went back to sleep.

"I've finished crocheting one woolen glove, and I'll have them all ready by tomorrow."

Chen Yuan gently kissed Sun Weiwei on the forehead.

"Then we can sew two waistcoats out of wolf skin and roe deer skin and wear them."

Sun Weiwei hummed, closed her eyes tiredly, and felt drowsy.

……

In the morning, Chen Yuan heated up two steamed buns.

It's still dark outside, so it's just the right time to go out.

Chen Yuan packed thirty kilograms of roe deer meat and thirty kilograms of wild boar meat in his backpack today.

If the backpack were any smaller, it probably wouldn't be able to hold all the items.

The pheasant was placed in the snakeskin bag.

As for the headless hare, Chen Yuan planned to teach Sun Weiwei how to stir-fry spicy rabbit cubes when he came back.

Everything was ready, and Chen Yuan walked out of the village with a backpack on his back.

Snowflakes were falling outside, and they felt cool on my face.

By the time Chen Yuan arrived at the county, it was already daybreak, but the sky was gloomy because of the snow.

With the experience from last time, Chen Yuan was much more familiar with going to the black market this time.

When he arrived, there were already quite a few people in the black market, carrying baskets on their backs and looking around vigilantly. It seemed that they were all there to sell things.

Chen Yuan still chose a corner to sit down, exposed some of the meat in the basket, and waited quietly for customers to come.

After a while, an old man came to Chen Yuan's backpack and asked, "Young man, what kind of meat are you selling?"

Chen Yuan looked at the old man warily, "Wild boar meat and roe deer meat."

The old man was obviously very interested and continued to ask, "How much is it per pound?"

At that time, pork cost 80 cents per pound, and you had to use a ticket.

He didn't need a ticket to buy this meat, so Chen Yuan had already thought of the price.

"Wild boar meat is 80 cents a pound, and roe deer meat is 60 cents a pound."

"If you can give me some other tickets, I can save 20 cents per pound on each item."

The old man listened carefully to Chen Yuan's offer and felt it was very suitable.

"Yes! I have a lot of extra tickets. Give me five pounds of wild boar meat and two pounds of roe deer meat."

Chen Yuan skillfully weighed the weight with a beam scale and handed it to the old man.

"Here's three dollars and eighty cents and some bills. Keep them."

Chen Yuan counted the money and bills, nodded, and put them in his pocket.

After a while, a neatly dressed woman came to Chen Yuan's stall carrying a cloth bag.

"What kind of meat is this and how much do you sell it for?"

Chen Yuan lifted the black cloth from the backpack and explained, "Wild boar meat is 80 cents a pound. If you sell five pounds of wild boar meat, you can use the ticket to exchange it for one pound of roe deer meat."

When the woman heard this, she immediately ordered five pounds of wild boar meat.

Meat is hard to buy at this time. Buy five pounds and get one pound for free. You only need some unused tickets to exchange it. You’d be a fool not to take advantage of this bargain!

When the Chen family split up, they didn't give Chen Yuan any tickets. Chen Yuan could only find a way to exchange some tickets for them when selling meat.

There were many things missing, so Chen Yuan accepted all the tickets.

Chen Yuan promised to keep this pheasant for the middle-aged woman, but he didn't know when she would come.

Chen Yuan was thinking when he saw a familiar figure.

"Young man, are there any wild pheasants this time?"

"I've reserved it specially for you. The price is the same as last time."

As he spoke, Chen Yuan handed over the pheasant.

The middle-aged woman readily took out money and tickets from her pocket and handed them to Chen Yuan.

"What kind of meat is in this basket?"

"There are only three pounds of wild boar meat and two pounds of roe deer meat left. If you want to buy it cheaper, I'll charge you two yuan."

The middle-aged woman looked at the meat and replied with satisfaction: "That's great, put it all in my pocket."

I really came across this today. These meats are just right for the Chinese New Year!

When relatives come to visit, just fry two meat dishes and you will be so proud!

"Young man, your meat is good. I'll ask everyone in our compound to come buy some later. Please prepare more!"

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "No problem. When you come back, I'll give you an extra half pound of meat."

The middle-aged woman smiled from ear to ear, put the meat into the bag and left happily.

Chen Yuan packed up his backpack and found an empty alley to count the money in his hand. He had sold a total of 32 yuan and some tickets today.

Chen Yuan took a few glances at these tickets when he collected them. Most of them were daily necessities tickets that could be used, and there were also two cloth tickets among them.

There was enough meat at home, but not many vegetables, so he had to go to the black market to buy some.
