Chapter 871 Do I, Wang Meilan, Need to Spend Money to Eat Meat?

In this forest area, the importance of cattle is self-evident.

Counting back thirty years, among the old cattle that died abnormally in the Yong'an forest area, in addition to those killed by tigers and bears, there was one that Wang Daba Zhang had killed when he celebrated the full moon of his old son.

So, the old yellow cattle that Zhao Youcai hunted today was the second one!

Regardless of how the cattle died, the most important thing for the Zhao family now is how to eat this cattle.

One by one, the beef ribs with a lot of meat left were put into the pot, blanched, fished out and washed with clean water to remove the blood foam, and then placed in another large pot to simmer.

Today, Master Zhao was at home, and he personally took on the responsibility of cooking. He only added salt and wild pepper picked from the mountains to the pot. In addition, other seasonings were not added.

After the meat was simmered, Zhao Youcai pulled the beef tenderloin on the chopping board beside him.

The meat had been outside for nearly an hour and was in a semi-frozen state. Zhao Youcai cut the beef tenderloin into thin slices very quickly.

According to Wang Meilan's request, these slices of meat will be made into sweet and sour pork.

Sweet and sour pork is usually made of pork, but Wang Meilan said that this is a halal way of eating and she must eat it this way.

Zhao Youcai, who had just made a thousand yuan of trouble today, did not dare to continue to put on airs in front of Wang Meilan. After cutting the meat slices, he took a large piece of beef brisket and prepared to cook another dish of beef stewed with radish, which was Wang Meilan's favorite.

At this time, Wang Meilan, Jin Xiaomei, and Yang Yufeng were chopping beef stuffing in the house, while Zhao Jun, Wang Qiang, and Zhang Yuanmin were roasting the head and hoof of the cow in the backyard.

In fact, it stands to reason that these things should be roasted outside the yard, but Zhao Youcai said that he would not allow it no matter what. He insisted that if he roasted it outside in front of people, he would have to be questioned. When others asked, he could not say anything.

In order to save Zhao's face, Zhao Jun and others could only hide behind the house, gather branches and dry firewood, and burn the cow's hoof first after lighting them.

In winter, the northwest wind blows, and there is still wind behind the house.

Put a cow's hoof on the fire, a wisp of black smoke floats up, and an unpleasant smell spreads instantly.

Gradually, the black smoke becomes thicker and thicker, and the pregnant female roe deer in the shed begins to feel uneasy, the hen keeps calling "oh uh", and the goose also keeps calling "uh ah".

"What a day!" Zhao Jun really couldn't do anything to Zhao Youcai, he and Wang Qiang and Zhang Yuanmin hid far away.

Zhang Yuanmin was sawing the horns of the cow with a curved handle, while Wang Qiang came to Zhao Jun and whispered, "Let's do what your father said. He is not in a good mood today."

"It's my fault too!" Zhang Yuanmin, who was squatting at the foot of the wall and sawing the horns of the cow, stopped what he was saying and looked up at Zhao Jun and said, "Brother, you told me and Jiechen that time that Huang Long was a loser. I didn't take it seriously after you said it."

Zhao Jun smiled and shook his head when he heard it. He just said it casually before, and he didn't expect Zhao Youcai to lead the dog up the mountain. He didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that Zhao Youcai ran into Lao Niu the first time he took Huang Long out!

Now think about it, the last time I went to Lingnan, Zhao Youcai took the dog to Yongxing. Fortunately, he didn't take Huang Long that time. Otherwise, the dog would have gone to the production team, and Zhao Youcai would not be able to come back!

"Okay, don't say anything." Wang Qiang said with a smile: "My brother-in-law... He has that kind of fate."

Speaking of this, Wang Qiang put his elbow on the stunned Zhao Jun's shoulder and continued with a smile: "Nephew, you know, your father is very bad at shooting now."

Zhao Jun was stunned. He remembered that Zhao Youcai had just boasted to him that he was very good at shooting, but Zhao Jun didn't take it seriously at all.

But if the uncle said so, then this thing is true!

Seeing that Zhao Jun seemed a little unconvinced, Wang Qiang said to him: "If you don't believe it, just ask your elder brother Zhang. The other day, the aid workers were watching us. We were walking towards the mountain field from Nan Dadi. That day, a big mountain swallow flew over from the sky. Your father picked up a gun and shot the mountain swallow directly."

"Ah?" Wang Qiang's words shocked Zhao Jun, and he asked hurriedly: "Did he do it by surprise?"

"No!" Wang Qiang pouted and shook his head and said: "It's not a surprise."

As he said, Wang Qiang spread his hands and explained to Zhao Jun: "I saw him load a bullet into the chamber, and then he turned sideways and fired a shot."

After saying this, Wang Qiang added: "If he did it by surprise, he couldn't have loaded a bullet."

"Oh..." Zhao Jun clicked his eyes twice when he heard this. According to his uncle, his father's shooting skills have reached a very powerful level.

Zhao Jun has never seen how Zhou Chengguo's shooting skills were before he was injured, but he thinks it's just like this.

After the serious injury, Zhou Chengguo was no longer at his peak, and he was afraid that he would not have such a gun skill. And Zhao Jun himself had never had these two skills in this life or the past life.

"Hiss... my dad..." Zhao Jun was very confused at this time, wondering when Zhao Youcai had practiced such a gun skill?

"Son!" At this time, Wang Meilan came from the front yard, and saw Zhao Jun and his friends standing under the wall, so she called Zhao Jun.

"Mom!" Zhao Jun followed Wang Meilan to the front yard. Wang Meilan pulled a piece of meat from the door panel and said to Zhao Jun: "You take this meat to your uncle Ma's house."

Zhao Jun smiled when he heard it, looked at Zhao Youcai who was sitting by the big stove and roasting fire, and asked Wang Meilan: "Mom, if my aunt asks, where did you get this beef? What should I say?"

Usually Zhao Jun went up the mountain to hunt and rarely sent it to Ma Ling's house. But this is not because Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan are reluctant, but because Ma Ling has not yet married. If we give things to the Ma family now, it will easily put pressure on them.

But today this is beef, which is rarely seen a few times a year in the forest area.

Therefore, Wang Meilan asked Zhao Jun to give a piece to Ma Ling's family. The piece of beef she just selected weighs about five or six pounds. According to the locals’ favorite way of eating, Ma Ling’s family can stew a pot of beef and radish, and then make a big steamed dumpling filled with beef.

But Zhao Jun’s words are a good idea!

"Otherwise, don't give it away!" Zhao Youcai felt something was wrong, and hurriedly came over and said to Wang Meilan: "When I hunt wild boars one day, I can get them more meat. This beef... let's keep it at home. !”

Zhao Youcai wasn't being petty. He listened to Zhao Jun's words and was afraid that when Zhao Jun went to deliver meat to the Ma family, Wang Cuihua would ask where the beef came from.

"Are you still hunting wild boars?" Wang Meilan tilted her head and glanced at Zhao Youcai, and said, "Please stop it quickly!"

Zhao Youcai was stunned for a moment by Wang Meilan, and then heard Wang Meilan continue: "The little you earned yesterday is not enough to pay for today!"

Zhao Youcai blushed, and Zhao Jun asked Wang Meilan, "Oh my god, my aunt didn't pay for it, did she?"

"No!" Wang Meilan glared at Zhao Youcai and said: "A horse pulls a wheel and a donkey pulls the mill - every yard is a yard! How can you get people to spend money on the trouble your father caused?"

At this point, Wang Meilan turned around and glanced at the closed door, and then whispered to Zhao Jun: "As long as your aunt and the others have this intention, I don't want any of their money, I let them take it." gone back."

Zhao Jun smiled and nodded, while Zhao Youcai defended himself and said, "Lan Na, it's really not my fault for what happened today."

As he spoke, Zhao Youcai pointed at the black tiger lying in the nest.

At this time, the black tiger was lying obediently in the den, with its chin resting on one of its front paws. Seeing Zhao Youcai pointing at him, the black tiger raised its head instantly, grinning its teeth and making a "whoosh" sound in protest.

"Look, you still rely on someone else's dog!" Wang Meilan heard the voice and looked back, then pressed Zhao Youcai's hand and asked with a smile: "Did you take that dog out?"

"This..." Zhao Youcai was speechless for a moment. Wang Meilan smiled and patted him twice on the shoulder, saying: "Don't say anything. Think about it for yourself. How much damage did your trip cause to our family?"

There wasn't a trace of complaint in this tone, it was just a couple playing with each other.

"What's the loss?" Zhao Youcai clapped his fingers and said, "Look, Lan, don't you make money and lose money on everything? I earned four hundred yesterday, and today... let's spend six hundred to buy one. That’s awesome.”

After saying that, Zhao Youcai turned his hand and pointed at the door panel and said: "Six hundred yuan for such old meat, are you still losing money?"

"Ha!" After hearing what he said, Wang Meilan sneered, raised her head slightly and said, "Go out and ask, ask, find out, just this year, I, Wang Meilan, have eaten meat. Why did I spend money before? Do I still spend money on meat?"

Zhao Youcai: "..."

Wang Meilan put out the fire for Zhao Youcai with just one word.

Zhao Jun laughed happily when he heard it. He picked up the piece of beef and said to Wang Meilan: "Mom, if you can't, just find me a basket? I'll put the meat in the basket so that no one can see it."

"Then what will you say when you get there?" Zhao Youcai was still a little worried.

"Oh!" Zhao Jun curled his lips helplessly and said, "What can I say? Just say I bought it."

"Then don't put the basket in!" Wang Meilan waved her hand and said, "Whose young man is wandering around the village with a basket?"

Zhao Jun laughed when he heard this, went to the warehouse to use pliers to cut off the No. 8 wire of a pulley, came back and used it to tie the piece of meat, held it in his hand, said hello to Wang Meilan and Zhao Youcai, and walked out of the courtyard.

Along the way at Ma Ling's house, Zhao Jun did not rush directly into the house. Instead, he stood outside the courtyard and shouted: "Auntie! Is Auntie home yet?"

As soon as Zhao Jun finished speaking, a person appeared behind him. It was Ma Yang who had returned from lunch break for dinner.

"Hey!" Ma Yang raised his chin forward and called Zhao Jun. When Zhao Jun turned around and saw it was him, he laughed angrily and said, "Who are you calling?"

As soon as Zhao Jun finished speaking, the door of Ma's house opened, and Ma Ling appeared in the door, waving outside and saying: "Come in quickly!"

Ma Yang bypassed Zhao Jun and rushed to the door of his house. He saw Ma Ling still waving outside, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

"I'm not going in." Zhao Jun came to the door, handed the wire ring he was carrying to Ma Ling and said, "I'll get you a few kilograms of beef, and then I'll make some dumplings or something."

After saying this, Zhao Jun added with a smile, "I remember you told me that you would like to eat dumplings stuffed with beef and radish."

As soon as Zhao Jun said this, Ma Ling's big eyes suddenly turned into crescent moons when she smiled. This fiancé was nowhere to be found even with a lantern, he really knows how to hurt people!

"Who is it?" Suddenly, Wang Cuihua's voice came from the back room, and she said, "Is it Zhao Jun? Come in?"

"Auntie, it's me!" Zhao Jun responded: "I'm not going in, I have to go back quickly!"

Zhao Jun was also afraid that Wang Cuihua and Ma Ling would ask him where the beef came from, so he immediately said to Ma Ling, "Hurry up and close the door. The heat has been released. I'm going back now."

"Then please slow down." Ma Ling said with concern in her eyes, "I won't send you off!"

"Yeah!" Zhao Jun smiled at Ma Ling, closed the door for her, then turned and walked home.

But inside the door, as soon as Ma Ling turned around, she saw Ma Yang frowning, grinning, holding his voice and imitating Ma Ling's speech, saying: "Then slow down, I won't send you away!"

After learning what Ma Ling said, Ma Yang raised his chin at her and said, "Send it to him. Send it home to him, and he will send it to you when you're done!"

"I..." Ma Ling didn't waste any words and kicked him.

Ma Yang always played with his classmates at school, so he reacted quickly. But it would have been better if he didn't dodge. If he didn't dodge, Ma Ling's kick would have hit his butt with the instep, which wouldn't have hurt much.

Unexpectedly, Ma Yang dodged to the side, causing Ma Ling's toe to kick Ma Yang's coccyx.

"Ouch!" Ma Yang jumped up and screamed, "You kicked my tail!"

...

Zhao Jun came out of Ma Ling's house and went to the old lady's house. He wanted to pick up the old lady and was worried about Jie Sun.

But when he was about to reach the old lady's house, Zhao Jun saw Zhao Ling and Xu Chunyan leading their children over there.

"Jun!" Zhao Ling saw Zhao Jun walking towards this side, and shouted: "Are you looking for your grandmother Jiang? The old lady is not at home!"

"Ah?" Zhao Jun asked hurriedly: "Where is she going?"

"Looking for your mother Jie!" Zhao Ling smiled and said: "Just now your uncle came home and asked me to bring the children over, and then asked me to call your second sister-in-law, and then go to pick up the old lady. When we went there, only your grandmother Jiang was alone in the room."

"Oh my God!" Zhao Jun heard it, and his heart skipped a beat, and hurriedly asked: "Then where is my mother Jie going?"

"She said she went to chat with someone." Xu Chunyan said: "It's okay, your grandmother Jiang went to find her, and said she found her, and they just went there directly."

"Ah..." That's what she said, but Zhao Jun was not at ease?

The old lady can be talked to, but is Mrs. Jie Sun an ordinary person?

"Okay!" Zhao Jun turned sideways and raised his hand to gesture towards his home, saying, "Second sister-in-law, you and my uncle, go first, I'll go find them!"

After saying that, Zhao Jun raised his hand to pull down the little face of Lin Xiangshun's son Lin Xiaobao, and then walked towards the old lady's house.

"This child..." Looking at Zhao Jun's leaving back, Zhao Ling said to Xu Chunyan, "He is honest to everyone!"

"Yeah!" Xu Chunyan nodded heavily and said, "In just this year, Xiaojun has grown up!"

Zhao Jun didn't hear what they said, and just walked quickly along the old lady's house to the grocery store.

But before he walked far, Zhao Jun saw the old lady and Jie Sun coming from the west.

Seeing them, Zhao Jun stood still. The old lady and Jie Sun also quickened their pace at this time.

"Xiao!" The old lady came to Zhao Jun and asked, "Are you here to see us?"

"Yes!" Zhao Jun nodded to the old lady, then looked at Xie Sun and asked, "Mother Jie, what are you doing?"

"Chatting with them!" Xie Sun replied and asked, "Jun, where is your father at home?"

"Yes?" Zhao Jun was stunned by Xie Sun's question, and Xie Sun immediately said, "This time my brother-in-law is really awesome!"

Zhao Jun: "..."

There will be more soon
