Return to the era, take over and become a winner in life

Chapter 11: A lot of good things

Jiang Ruyue looked at the things piled in the hall, her eyes burning with anger.

There are sweet potato rice, white rice, sweet potatoes, eggs, five chicks, as well as tools such as bamboo baskets and winnowing baskets.

All of these were exchanged for the meat of the male muntjac.

"Sister, stop looking. Let's quickly process the meat. After that, we can go back to work in the afternoon." Jiang Ruoan said and pulled his sister away.

"Leave the internal organs and offal for the hounds." Xu Ye reminded.

"Okay, we'll save that." Jiang Ruoan looked back and smiled, with a happy expression on his face.

Her happiness was not only because she could eat meat, but also because she felt that her man was very capable and was no less capable than Li Dongming, who was once the most popular man in the village.

Xu Ye walked up to the deer heart, cut it into slices with a hunting knife, and then came to the leopard.

When the leopard saw Xu Ye’s muntjacs coming over, it licked its mouth frantically and wagged its tail continuously.

"Sit down." Xu Ye gave an order.

The leopard reacted immediately and sat down.

"Good dog." Xu Ye touched its head and then gave it a piece of deer heart.

Hounds need training, especially since this leopard was not raised by him, so it needs more training and relationship building.

It quickly finished eating the deer heart, but Jiang Ruyue had already considerately washed, cut and handed out the large intestine.

The black tiger was watching nearby. It had eaten a lot last night, but was still not full.

Xu Ye trained the leopard for a while, and then threw some deer bones to it for it to chew.

The bite force of a hound also needs to be exercised, and chewing bones is the best exercise.

"Brother Ye, come and have breakfast." Jiang Ruoan brought a pot of deer meat to the table and shouted happily.

"Okay." Xu Ye touched the black tiger's head and gave it a piece of deer meat.

If you want to raise a hunting dog, you have to be willing to spend money, otherwise it will not be strong and ferocious.

It's called a table, but it's just two wooden boards placed on top of stones.

Today, the Li family is really penniless and has nothing.

There were no stools, so Jiang Ruyue and the others usually ate while squatting.

There aren't many bowls at home, so we just eat the meat directly from the bowl.

Xu Ye was really not used to such conditions.

"Xu Ye, are you ready to eat?" Wang Chunhua's voice came from outside.

"Aunt Chunhua, have you eaten? If not, let's eat something together." Xu Ye said politely.

"I've eaten. I want to ask if anyone wants that deer root. If not, I can help you exchange it for something else." Wang Chunhua asked with a red face.

"No, our house happens to be short of some bowls. Could you please help me change some, auntie?" Xu Ye pretended not to know that it was Zhang Gui who wanted it and made his request.

"Okay, auntie will get you a new set of bowls. We really can't live without bowls." Wang Chunhua said happily.

She happened to have a set of bowls at home that she had never been willing to use, and she wanted to prepare them for Zhang Sanbao's wedding.

Isn't this a coincidence?
"Of course not. We don't have anything at home right now. We still need to buy a lot of things."

"Aunt, you are very capable. Please help ask who has a dining table and benches. I am willing to exchange them for meat." Xu Ye continued.

He was used to sitting at the table to eat and drink, so he really couldn't accept squatting.

"It's okay to split it up. We have four extra tables and chairs at home, but they're a bit old. You can just exchange them for two kilograms of meat." Wang Chunhua said quickly.

"Of course." Xu Ye nodded in agreement.

"Then I'll go ask for a table for you. Three pounds of meat can be exchanged for a good table. You wait for good news from your aunt." After saying that, Wang Chunhua ran outside.

"Brother Ye, why don't we change something to eat?" Jiang Ruoan said with some heartache.

Hunting is not that easy. In the past, Li Dongming often came back empty-handed when hunting, and he did not always get anything.

She finally had 30 kilograms of meat to eat, so she thought it was unnecessary to use 5 kilograms to buy a table. Usually, the family didn't use the table very often, so it was better to buy something else.

"Don't worry, life will get better and better. Our family will never lack meat or food in the future." Xu Ye knew that she felt sorry for the meat, so he comforted her.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Jiang Ruoan didn't hesitate any more.

"Okay, everyone, eat as much as you want. This meat is not very oily, so don't worry about making your stomach uncomfortable."

The fat was collected by Jiang Ruyue and Jiang Ruoan, who would use it to make oil for their livelihood.

Xu Ye didn't say anything like "eat slowly". After all, it was rare for people at this time to eat meat, let alone eat meat as a meal.

The deer meat tastes really ordinary because there is no seasoning and it has no flavor.

Xu Ye ate two pieces and couldn't eat anymore, so he turned around and picked up a few sweet potatoes.

Arriving in the kitchen, Xu Ye walked to the stove and found that it was about to collapse.

Xu Ye saw that there was still some charcoal fire in the stove, so he put the sweet potato into the stove.

There is still a lot of firewood at home. In order to save firewood, the Li family usually eats it in the morning and eats the rest cold.

In fact, there wasn’t much left, and it was good enough to have a full meal a day.

Jiang Ruyue and Li Qing are the only ones working at home, and Li Qing is weak and cannot do any heavy work.

Jiang Ruyue didn't let them starve to death, which was very impressive.

Looking at this stove, Xu Ye couldn't help but think of the rocket stove used in later generations.

Maybe, I can make one out of yellow mud based on the shape of a rocket stove.

The rocket stove not only has strong firepower, but also saves a lot of firewood.

Don’t even think about getting other materials now; they’re simply not available.

Yellow mud doesn't cost any money, it just takes a little time.

"Xu Ye, the table is here. It's a large table with eight seats and a bench." Wang Chunhua shouted outside.

Xu Ye went out to take a look and immediately agreed.

Mahogany tables are considered a luxury item in later generations.

However, one of the legs was broken and was fixed with a piece of wood, which was not a very good repair.

After seeing this, Li Qing's eyes turned red.

This table used to belong to their family, she recognized it.

After Li Dongming got into trouble, Jiang Ruyue sold everything in the house, including the dining table.

Now, the property has been returned to its original owner.

Xu Ye and Wang Chunhua moved the table in and placed it in the living room, then handed four pounds of deer meat to Wang Chunhua.

After a while, Wang Chunhua brought a new set of bowls and took away the deer roots.

After a while, she brought four more stools and took away two pounds of meat.

The Jiang sisters cleaned the tables and chairs, and Xu Ye's sweet potatoes were also roasted.

After giving one to Li Qing and Li Qian, Xu Ye ate the rest of the sweet potatoes.

After eating, Xu Ye and Jiang Ruyue rubbed deer brain on the suede to soften it.

After applying, fix it on the leather bandage to prevent it from shrinking together.

Because he went hunting last night, Jiang Ruoan hoped that Xu Ye could get a good sleep.

So after the suede was processed, Jiang Ruoan urged Xu Ye to catch up on his sleep.

If it wasn't daytime, Xu Ye would pull Jiang Ruoan to catch up on some sleep together.

Nowadays, if you stay in bed without working in broad daylight, many people will point fingers at you.
