Reborn amidst natural disaster, my childhood sweetheart and dad help me stock up and win effortlessl

Jiang Li cut the mutton fat from the sheep's offal into small pieces, added scallions, garlic, flour, etc., and poured them into the sheep's blood, stirring thoroughly.

She held the enema nozzle in her left hand and poured the mixed sheep blood into the sheep intestines with her right hand.

The shriveled sheep intestines immediately became plump.

After pouring all the sheep's blood into the sheep's tail, Jiang Li tied a tight knot.

The water on the stove just boiled.

Jiang Li first took the kettle out and poured the hot water into a bamboo bucket.

"Brother Mo, I've poured the boiled water into the bamboo bucket. Do you want it ready later?"

"Okay, put it there."

Ye Jingmo was so busy that he didn't even have time to lift his head.

Liangzi pulled on a corner of the sheepskin that had already been shaved off and stretched it open with all his might. Ye Jingmo carefully separated the parts of the sheepskin and meat that were stuck together with a knife.

Jiang Li told Ye Jingmo a word, then went back to the kitchen and continued with her work.

She added cold water to the pot on the stove, put the sheep blood sausage in, and started simmering it over low heat.

The water in the pot boiled quickly, and the blood sausage began to expand rapidly.

Jiang Li used a toothpick to poke small holes in the blood sausage to prevent it from bursting.

The originally bright red blood sausage turned dark red after cooking, and it was still a whole sausage.

Jiang Li blinked. To be honest, the blood sausage didn't look very appetizing.

It looks a bit like... well... cough cough.

No, no, Jiang Li shook her head, trying to shake the thoughts out of her mind.

If she thought about it any longer, she was afraid she wouldn't even have the appetite to eat lamb blood sausage anymore.

Jiang Li scooped out the cooked sheep blood sausage and put it in a basin, waiting for it to cool down slowly.

Worried that Ye Jingmo might be too busy, she went out to the front yard to see if there was anything she could help with.

Ye Jingmo had already peeled off the sheepskin completely, and he was putting it into a bamboo bucket and soaking it by pounding it with a bamboo pole.

Liangzi took over Ye Jingmo's position and was chopping the mutton into small pieces.

Jiang Li thought for a moment, then went to the well and drew a large bucket of water. She put the mutton, which Liangzi had cut into small pieces, in a bag and placed it in the well water, using it as a temporary refrigerator.

Ye Jingmo used a knife to scrape off the softened pieces of sheepskin, meat, and fat that had been soaked in hot water.

To avoid the sheepskin spoiling and developing an off-flavor due to delayed handling.

In that case, the entire sheepskin would be unusable.

After Liangzi finished cutting up the whole sheep, he stood up and felt a severe soreness and numbness in his back, and his legs were so sore that he couldn't take a single step.

But his joy and smile were impossible to hide from his entire face.

He enjoys the hardship of breaking down food, even if it means a lot of work in the future.

Jiang Li and Liang Zi moved the buckets indoors to prevent the mutton from spoiling due to sunlight and outside temperatures.

Ye Jingmo unfolded the processed sheepskin, which still needed to be steamed at high temperature.

He set up a small pot in the front yard, put firewood in it, and then threw the sheepskin in.

Processing a sheepskin requires a great deal of effort and steps; it cannot be used immediately.

Since the steaming and boiling step could be left alone for a short time, Ye Jingmo returned to the house, intending to first divide the mutton among Liangzi.

"Liangzi, what are you planning to do with your mutton?"

As soon as Ye Jingmo entered, he asked Liang Zi about his plans.

Liangzi scratched his head and said honestly:

"I want to keep all the mutton at home to eat, because only what's in my stomach is truly mine."

But now that there's no electricity, the refrigerator can't work, so we can't store that much mutton at home.

So I could only keep the mutton I needed for one meal and sell the rest on the black market for points.

Buy some food that can be stored for a long time and keep it at home.

Ye Jingmo nodded; Liangzi's idea was perfectly fine.

"The black market? Would they offer higher prices there?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li couldn't help but ask a question. She had never known that there was a black market in the base.

"The black market offers higher redemption points."

There are many items there that are not available in the official store; you can exchange them for them as long as you have points and resources.

Its backing seems to be a high-ranking official in the base, whose influence is quite significant.

The base tacitly allows its existence.

Seeing that Jiang Li was so interested, Liang Zi said a few more words.

"Brother Mo, I counted when I was chopping the meat. There were twelve bags of mutton in total. I'll take four bags and leave the rest for you."

“You took six bags of mutton and half of the blood sausage, but we left the sheepskin behind. You should take more.”

“This won’t do. You guys were the ones who caught this sheep most of the way. This way of dividing it is very fair.”

I'll only take four bags of mutton; I don't want the rest.

Liangzi's attitude was very firm.

Finally, having no other choice, Ye Jingmo had Jiang Li secretly put the blood sausage in a bag and put it inside the bag containing the mutton.

After saying goodbye to Ye Jingmo and Jiang Li, Liangzi hurriedly returned to the base with his backpack on.

The first thing Liangzi did upon arriving at the base was to rush home.

Hearing a knock at the door, Zhang Jing looked alertly through the peephole.

Seeing that it was Liangzi who had left early in the morning, Zhang Jing finally felt relieved.

Every time Liangzi went out, Zhang Jing was very worried, fearing that he might encounter some danger outside and not be able to come back.

"Close the door quickly."

Liangzi urged as soon as he entered the door.

"Dad is back."

A six-year-old girl, with a sallow complexion, happily rushed into Liangzi's arms as soon as she saw him.

Liangzi smiled and rubbed his beard against his daughter's face.

"Xiao An, go back to your room and play first. Dad will come and play with you later."

Xiao An nodded obediently and ran back to her room to continue playing with her toys.

Liangzi put his backpack on the living room floor, and Zhang Jing closed the door and ran to his side.

"Why are you so late coming back today?"

Before Zhang Jing could finish her question, she saw Liang Zi take a bag out of his backpack, which smelled of blood.

Zhang Jing was terrified. "What did you bring back?"

"nice one."

Liangzi opened the bag, revealing chunks of mutton inside.

Zhang Jing's expression was a mixture of surprise and delight: "You caught your prey?!"

"Yes, you can pick a bag to keep for our family to eat."

I'll take the rest to the black market to exchange for points and stock up on some durable food.

Zhang Jing opened all the bags and noticed that one bag contained another. She found it strange and muttered to herself:

"Why is there another bag?"

Zhang Jing took out the bag and opened it. Liang Zi also came over. Looking at the sheep blood sausage in the bag, Liang Zi understood everything.

"This must have been given to me by the captain."

"Captain? You mean Captain Ye, the one you mentioned who was in the same unit as you when you were discharged? The one who took good care of you?"

Zhang Jing asked Liang Zi.

"Yes, I'll introduce you to him another day. If I'm no longer around, you can ask him for help."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jing's eyes immediately welled up with tears. She patted his shoulder and said unhappily:

"I won't allow you to say such things. Our family of three will definitely stay together peacefully."

Liangzi quickly hugged Zhang Jing and coaxed her in a low voice.
