Meat Sharing

"There is no need to refuse, village chief. It's not a big deal. We are all fighting against wolves together. The injured need to be fed. Besides, I can't consume so many wolves. I will only keep the wolf skins and a little meat. The rest of the wolf meat belongs to you, village chief." Gulan said lightly.

She wanted to save more wolf meat in the space, not for herself, but for Dahei. Unfortunately, there were only so many in total. It would be obvious to say that one or two less were really obvious, so Gulan gave up.

Village chief Li was really moved by these words. Sharing so much wolf meat can really help many people solve their problems. And these wolf skins can also keep warm as the weather gets colder. Gulan is really generous and a rare good person. Immediately, Village chief Li no longer refused, and quickly thanked Gulan and organized the men in the village to skin and share the meat.

Gulan, who was given the good guy card, didn't know that the village chief thought of her like this. At this moment, she was busy skinning a wolf.

Li Da, who was in charge of dealing with the bloodstains, soon came to help with Li Er. However, they were not helping Gulan, but helping to skin another pile of wolves.

Their skills were not as fast as Gulan's. They didn't have the opportunity to skin wolves before. Even if they were slaughtering large livestock at home, they would ask the village butchers to do it themselves.

Speaking of butchers, the village butcher Li Zhi and his son were among them, but they killed the most pigs and didn't have many opportunities to skin them. Although their skills were much better than those of ordinary villagers, they were still not as good as Gulan. It was a pity that there were no hunters in their village, otherwise it would be better.

Gulan had already finished four wolves and was cleaning up the last one. The villagers had just finished cleaning up two wolves, and more and more people were watching.

It wasn't that they didn't want to be fast, but they didn't have the right tools. Except for Butcher Li, who had a handy knife for slaughtering livestock, everyone else used kitchen knives at home. Not to mention that they were not sharp, the kitchen knives were too large, which was not conducive to skinning. In addition, their skills were unfamiliar, so the speed was naturally not fast. It was only Li the Butcher and his son who managed to deal with these two wolves.

However, with these two wolves as practice, Li the Butcher's skills were obviously faster. When Gulan finished dealing with all the wolves, their speed had improved a lot.

Li Da and Li Er also pulled one wolf and used the kitchen knife at home to peel the skin. They successfully peeled a wolf skin while learning. At least for others who couldn't even peel the wolf skin successfully, they were successful. It's just that the wolf skin is ugly. It needs to be handled properly later, otherwise the wolf skin with wolf meat everywhere can't be used. It's impossible to make a large warm clothing. There is a hole here and there. No one can choose such material for clothes. It can be used as a leg wrap or a mattress.

Li Da and Li Er are quite satisfied with their results and continue the second wolf.

Gulan has already started to dissect a wolf, leaving two wolf front legs and half of the body, and the rest of Gulan was handed over to the village chief.

Then he returned to his son with the spoils. Old Man Li looked at the wolf skins that Gulan brought back with envy. These wolf skins could be sold for a good price if they were packed up. Even if they were not sold, they were still good things to keep warm. But if these things were not nitrated, they would be wasted. Although they were not his own, Old Man Li felt distressed when he thought about it. "Gulan, these skins need to be nitrated." Old Man Li reminded him.

"I know," Gulan, who was packing the wolf skins for the second time with a dagger, replied, and AnAn looked at his mother's movements curiously.

"Then can you nitrate?" Old Man Li wanted to say that if he couldn't, there should be someone in the village who could. He remembered that the village chief seemed to know how to do it.

Gulan nodded, "Yes, but there is no saltpeter."

"Saltpeter?" Old Man Li thought hard about what saltpeter was. Although he didn't know how to nitrate fur, he seemed to have heard from the village chief that nitrating fur required ground frost. Ground frost was not a new thing and was easy to find. Could saltpeter be the ground frost that the village chief mentioned? Old Man Li thought it was very likely. They were all used to nitrate fur, but they might be called differently in different places.

Old Man Li: "The saltpeter you are talking about is ground frost, right?"

"Ground frost" Gulan's heart moved, and she searched for something called ground frost in her mind. It really was saltpeter, and it was called ground frost here.

Gulan nodded, and continued the action in his hand. Layers of meat membrane were scraped off by Gulan with the blade and thrown directly to Dahei who was guarding beside him.

That's true. I don't know if the village chief has it. Old man Li started to think about it in his mind. But he also thought that the possibility was not high. They were fleeing from famine, and the things they could bring were reduced to the minimum.It was estimated that the village chief would not bring useless things like ground frost, which took up too much space. He immediately gave up the idea of ​​looking for the village chief. This is indeed the case, it was also true. The village chief was also regretting why he didn't bring the ground frost at home. Now he had to clean it up first and see if he could find some along the way.

Next, the village chief divided things according to their merits. Li Da killed a wolf with his own hands, so he naturally got a wolf skin. Butcher Li and his son also made great efforts and got a wolf skin.

In fact, there were not many wolf skins that were complete enough. On the one hand, they died too tragically, and on the other hand, their skinning skills were too poor. The village chief was impartial and said that everyone who participated in the battle would get one of the remaining wolf skins. The people in Lijia Village had no objection to this division. The village chief was fair in his work, and they were all very convinced.

The next thing was wolf meat, which was also the most anticipated by everyone in Lijia Village. Although I heard that wolf meat was not good, it was meat, which could not be compared with wild vegetables. As long as it was meat, people could be fed. What they lacked now was to feed them well.

There were 57 households in Lijia Village, and the village chief carefully calculated that each household could get a lot. But looking at the village chief of Xishan Village not far away, and some scattered disaster victims, the village chief Li thought about it, and discussed with the two elders and several meritorious people and Li Da. In the end, it was decided to give away one and a half wolf meat and wolf head, after all, some of them helped.

They ate meat, and these people watched. It was hard to predict people's hearts. Who knew if some people would hold grudges in their hearts? As the village chief, he had to consider these issues and must nip these possibilities in the bud. In the end, Li Da and several villagers from Lijia Village carried a half-wolf corpse and several wolf heads to the resting place of these people.

It was stated that half of the wolf meat was distributed to the people who helped kill the wolf together, and the rest would be distributed to everyone present by Village Chief Zhao.

Li Da had an impression of the people who killed the wolf together. He personally distributed the wolf meat to the hands of several people and received their grateful smiles. Several people were really surprised. They went to help, but they just swung the tools in their hands outside. They really didn't dare to get too close to the wolf. Unexpectedly, the people from Lijia Village actually distributed it to them.

This was really a livesaver. The meat was enough for their family to survive for several days. Meat was different from wild vegetables. It was nutritious and very good at stopping hunger. As for the others, although they were envious and jealous, no one dared to have bad intentions. The main reason was that those who dared to step forward to fight the wolves were relatively strong, and they really couldn't afford to offend them.

Village Chief Zhao was also very surprised. He thought to himself that Village Chief Li was very generous and knew how to behave. If it were him, he would definitely not be willing to do it. He admired him.

Then it was time to divide the meat. When they heard about the meat distribution, regardless of whether they were from Xishan Village or not, all the victims gathered around. There were nearly a hundred people at once.
