Chapter 113: The Value of Money
Gu Fei looked at her helplessly, "What should I do? My hair is still wet. Should I comb it?"
"You can't go out like this!" Lanzhi said as she found a piece of cloth to wrap Gu Fei's hair and then let Gu Fei out.
Outside, everyone was sleeping on the floor around the fire. Lian'er quickly opened the blanket. Qian looked at her from the side and felt very unhappy.
When Lian'er was at her house, she was like a stick. She would move when she was called, and would not move if she was not called.
Why did she rush to do everything when she came to Gu Fei's house?
What a cheap bastard!
Uncle Ma also dealt with the two wolves that he and Chen Hu had killed. He gave the wolf skins to his uncle and took off the wolf meat. He took a basin and gave it to Chen.
Chen took the basin and saw that all the eyes around her were staring at her.
She said calmly, "Everyone has worked hard to kill the wolf. Let's divide the meat of the two wolves by head."
"The rest was killed by my little Fei. My family keeps it for ourselves."
When Qian heard that there was meat to be shared, she stood up first and reached into the basin without saying a word.
Chen turned her back to her with the basin in her hand and said, "Auntie Liu, you are fair. Please share the meat with everyone."
Auntie Liu took the basin with a smile and said, "Okay, I'll share it with everyone."
"There are more than 100 kilograms of meat here. Everyone can enjoy it for a while."
Each household had wolf meat to share, and they all happily took the basin. Auntie Liu was quick and quickly shared a few pieces from each family.
Gu Fei secretly gave her father a few anti-inflammatory pills and then went to sleep.
I don't know if it was because of the fire or something else, but the wolves didn't come again that night.
Gu Fei got up early and took a piece of wolf meat marinated yesterday, cut it into slices, fried it in a pan, and then sprinkled five-spice powder, chili powder, and cumin powder, which was fragrant.
Considering the two sick father and the county magistrate's son, Gu Fei also specially fried a small plate without chili and spices.
Lian'er was chopping meat and Li Chunhua was cutting vegetables. Dad was injured, and Gu Fei felt that he had to eat meat to replenish his body. She would never admit that she was craving meat.
Breakfast was ready, and a large pot of vegetable and lean meat porridge, a large plate of fragrant fried wolf meat, and white flour cakes were placed on the wooden board.
Chen first served porridge to Su Chen and the others, each of them served a large bowl, then Uncle Ma, and finally her family.
Su Chen held the bowl of porridge and took a bite of it politely. His eyebrows raised. It tasted good. He picked up a piece of wolf meat and chewed it slowly. The wolf meat was fried to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The meat was chewy and really delicious.
The little girl was really good at cooking. He glanced at Gu Fei. The little girl was picking up food for her father. Her eyebrows were curved and particularly beautiful.
Su Chen quickly retracted his gaze and concentrated on eating.
After dinner, the water was boiled. Chen asked Zhang Ze to bring the water bag over and fill all the water bags of several people. Then he picked up the medicine jar and poured the medicine boiled for Su Chen into the bowl to cool.
Zhang Ze took the water bag back and smiled at Su Chen: "Sir, how is it? This hundred taels is worth it, right? Not only is the meal delicious, but we have saved a lot of trouble!"
Su Chen nodded slightly, "When we get to Ping'an City, I will give her family some more silver."
After breakfast, they packed up and set off.
The more they walked, the more frightened they became. After walking a short distance, they could see people lying on the side of the official road, motionless, and they didn't know whether they were dead or alive.
Lanzhi walked closely beside Gu Fei. As they walked, she suddenly screamed and hugged Gu Fei. Gu Fei looked to the side and saw a wild dog gnawing on a corpse on the side of the road. The wild dog had dug open the man's stomach, and his intestines were all over the ground.
