After the items were distributed, the couple got half a wolf’s worth of meat and ten wolf skins.
Gu Chengrui immediately found a cart and brought it back.
Er Zhuang immediately barked madly after smelling wolf meat when they got home.
When Zhou Ying saw this, she grabbed a rooster from her space and threw it at Er Zhuang. “Calm down and have your meal; these are dead wolves.”
However, once Er Zhuang bit the rooster to death, he still barked at the cart. Zhou Ying had no choice but to put the cart and everything into her interspace. As soon as the smell of the wolf disappeared, Er Zhuang finally began to eat his chicken quietly.
Gu Chengruiughed. “Er Zhuang, you’re sure a good boy. You have the guts to bark at a wolf.”
“Indeed, we didn’t raise Er Zhuang in vain.” Zhou Ying thought of its performance on the mountain and nodded in agreement.
The next morning, the smell of meat wafted through the air from every house.
Zhou Ying was also stewing the wolf meat in the kitchen, and theirs was the most fragrant one.
Gu Chengxi sniffed all the way to the kitchen after he entered the house. “Third sister-inw, your cooking skills are really good. Just the smell alone is enough to make me die of hunger.”
“I’ll give you a bowl when it’s cooked.” Zhou Ying turned her head and said.
“Thank you, but I’m here on Grandma’s orders. I’m here to ask for your help.” Gu Chengxi scratched his head.
“Help? With the wolf meat?” Zhou Ying was surprised.
“Yes, no one in the family knows how to cook it. So… they want you to go over and help.”
Zhou Ying got up and patted the dust off her apron. “Alright then. Help me keep an eye on the fire. Remember to keep the fire low. I’ll go and take a look.” “Don’t worry, leave this to me.” Gu Chengxi patted his chest and said.
After Zhou Ying left the kitchen, she went to the backyard to find Gu Chengrui, who was processing the wolf skin.
She then took all the seasonings she needed and half a jar ofrd to the old mansion.
While waiting in the courtyard, Madam Qiao saw here in and immediately greeted her with a smile, saying, “It’s been hard on you today. We really can’t cook this wolf meat well.”
“Alright, I’ll just stew it. This way, the taste will be decent. After it’s done, you can cut it into pieces and make jerky or meat floss.”
Madam Qiao nodded in agreement: “Okay, we will listen to you. We really can’t swallow what we made otherwise.”
Zhou Ying went directly to the kitchen. After confirming that it was a whole wolf, she, Mrs. Sun, and Mrs. Guo began to get busy.
When they started to stir up the base ingredients, Mrs. Sun asked in surprise,
“Why did you userd? Wouldn’t that taste weird?”
“No,rd itself doesn’t have much taste. If you don’t cook wolf meat withrd, the meat won’t taste good and will be dry.” Zhou Ying spoke as she got busy.
“No wonder the pheasant I stewedst time was so dry and not fragrant at all.” Mrs. Sun spoke with a new understanding.
“Stewed pheasant and wild rabbit are best to go with streaky pork. Only then will it be fragrant.”
“I’ll try it in the future.”
After Zhou Ying stewed the meat in the pot, she said goodbye to Madam Qiao and went home.
In the afternoon, Zhou Ying mixed a te of purple peri leaf sd, fried a te of sweet potato vines, and cut arge te of wolf meat. She told Gu Chengxi to stay over for a meal.
After lunch, the vige suddenly became lively. There were sounds of arguments and quarrels.
In the end, the quarrels were drowned out by more banter.
After Zhou Ying heard this, she walked out after wearing her shoes.
She found a few groups of people fighting on the street. Some were making a scene, some were rolling around, and some were kneeling and begging for mercy. She was dazzled by the amount of stuff going on around the vige.
She walked over curiously.
Sixth Aunt Gu, who had been watching themotion in the crowd for a while, saw her and asked softly, “What do you think? You’ve never seen such a lively scene before, have you?”
