Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 126

Chapter 126: Chapter 102: Parting After the Merriment

After Mother Zhang finished distributing the meat, she returned to the main room to discuss with her father about how to allocate the wild boar meat for tomorrow excluding the packaged dry goods. She saw him come in and pulled him to sit down.

"Xiao Wu, how are you planning to allocate all this meat? Who do you want to give it to? Tell me. If there’s too much, I’ll make bacon."

Zhang Guoqing looked at his father, seeing he didn’t mind, "Mom, I specifically cut two pig thighs, half a slab of pig meat, and ribs to hang under the eaves to drain. We’ll pack them in the morning, the wrappers are ready. You’ll keep half a slab at home to eat fresh, and also divide some for the eldest sister, second sister, and the two sisters-in-law for their families, there won’t be much left. The rest won’t be sold, just to nourish our own family; the extra ribs should be stewed for us to eat since we have many mouths to feed. The pig head meat that’s already marinated can be left for Dad to enjoy with his drink. Dad, why don’t we invite Uncle and Little Uncle to have a drink tonight?"

"Let’s not tonight, let’s just have a family drink and meal first, and invite your Uncle over to drink tomorrow night. Let your elder brother deliver some meat to the county for your sister tomorrow, let your nephews have a taste of meat. Stew the pig head meat slowly, wild boar meat is tough, it tastes good when simmered for a long time. A little drink with meat before bed, not even trading places with a god for this kind of life." After speaking, Mr. Zhang smacked his lips, not even wanting to smoke.

"Great, I just buried the wild chicken in the stove, it should be ready soon." Zhang Guoqing said, then glanced at his mother, unsurprisingly receiving a dismissive look.

Mr. Zhang watched them exchange looks and laughed, "Before the New Year’s hunt, the captain asked when you’d be back, guessing it would be these days, so you better prepare. This year, we’ll hunt more so your mom can make bacon and wind-dried wild game. We have to fill her little treasure trove so she can wake up smiling in her dreams."

"I planned to go up the mountain more before the heavy snow seals it off. This time I saw quite a few deer tracks, just halfway up the mountain towards the dense forest in the neighboring county. There’s a small stream, and there are footprints all around. There are fewer hunters on our side, and I see quite a few wild rabbits and pheasants. I heard there’s not much big game to hunt in the neighboring county; Uncle Wang’s sons invited me to go deep into the mountains. I declined, too many wolves and it’s dangerous, not to mention it requires several days."

Both Zhang’s parents nodded emphatically, he didn’t lack money, so there was no need to risk his life. Mr. Zhang sniffed the aroma and had Mother Zhang go into the kitchen to check if it was ready.
