Era: Starting with the struggle to refuse being taken advantage of

Chapter 151 The Night Visitor
The most frightened of them all was Wang Fucheng. The moment he saw the wild boar, he instinctively felt a chill run down his neck.

If he remembered correctly, he had once tried to corner Wang Chengpeng at home.

If I had truly angered such a vicious person, it would be uncertain whether I would still be alive.

If Wang Fucheng had initially resented his son for not helping him capture Wang Chengpeng, he now felt only relief.

I'm glad I was rational enough back then and didn't do anything I'll regret for the rest of my life.

Intelligent people are not scary; what's scary is an intelligent person who is so ruthless!
However, thinking about how good things had been happening to him ever since he met Wang Chengpeng, Wang Fucheng immediately felt relieved.

If he had just carefully maintained his relationship with Wang Chengpeng's family, he would have received plenty of benefits.

Just like this incident involving the wild boar meat, since it was done under the name of the village's hunting team, it really boosted Wang Fucheng's prestige.

After all, such a good thing as the whole village sharing meat is rare, except when work points are settled at the end of the year, and it only happens once every three to five years.

After much thought, Wang Fucheng felt that having Wang Chengpeng in Wangjia Village was an incredibly good thing.

As long as you don't provoke or offend the other party, they will continuously bring you benefits, which is a rare opportunity.

Remembering that Wang Chengpeng had come to him that morning specifically to deliver his results, Wang Fucheng dared not delay and had already begun preparations to have Wang Chengpeng join the hunting team.

Then it will be more legitimate for Wang Chengpeng to apply for a gun license.

With nothing else to do, Wang Chengpeng started thinking about the wild boar meat.

Since there was no one else around, it was a perfect opportunity to prepare this piece of pork.

Tomorrow morning or noon, our family can reheat it a little, and it will be a delicious wild game dish.

Judging from the various large pieces of material that Wang Chengpeng bought at the market today, he may have already had similar plans.

After lighting a lamp, Wang Chengpeng didn't hesitate and began processing the wild boar meat.

The wild boar meat had been marinated in rice wine and star anise beforehand, so it had softened a bit by now.

Although it was still a bit of a struggle, Wang Chengpeng's superb knife skills allowed him to slice the meat into thin, alternating slices of fat and lean meat.

Wang Tieshan was right. This piece of wild boar meat was in an excellent location, with both fat and lean meat. If you stir-fry it with the skin on, it would be an absolutely delicious dish.

With the sound of the spatula hitting the iron pot, the dish was nearing its end.

After shoveling out a large pot of the wild boar meat to save for tomorrow, Wang Chengpeng simmered it in the pot for a while longer before sprinkling on some garlic sprouts and serving the wild game.

The moment it came out of the pot, a wonderful aroma burst forth, filling the entire kitchen. Xiao Hei and Xiao Jin barked excitedly, looking at Wang Chengpeng with expectant eyes.

I gave a piece of meat to Little Black; it deserved a reward for helping me find three wild boar piglets.

Moreover, clear rewards and punishments are Wang Chengpeng's guiding principle.

However, just as Wang Chengpeng was about to have a late-night snack, a loud voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard, saying:

"Better late than early! It smells so good! Cousin, you wouldn't mind if I had a couple of pieces of meat, would you?"

Then came Wang Zhong's tall figure.

At this moment, Wang Zhong was not wearing his usual militia uniform, but rather a set of casual clothes. It was impossible to know what he was thinking.

Anyway, Wang Chengpeng wasn't afraid of Wang Zhong, so he smiled and said:

"If you don't mind that my cooking skills aren't great, cousin, I wouldn't mind sharing some meat with you."

After saying that, Wang Chengpeng went to the side to get a bowl and chopsticks. Recently, the family had been frequently hosting guests, so they weren't short of bowls and chopsticks. Wang Zhong, ever the friendly type, sat down to the side, and then took out two bottles of wine, saying:
"Good meat deserves good wine! How can such delicious food be enjoyed without wine?"

"No need for cups, cousin, you and I can each have a bottle and just drink it like that, how about it?"

Wang Chengpeng frowned subconsciously and refused, "I can eat meat, but I'll pass on the alcohol."

"Having to stay up all night drinking is not a good thing."

Wang Zhong forcefully shoved a bottle of liquor into Wang Chengpeng's hand, saying nonchalantly:
"What are you afraid of? I'll keep watch with you tonight."

"Any audacious madman who dares to come here, even if he dies, it will be for nothing."

After saying that, Wang Zhong didn't stand on ceremony and directly picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth to eat.

As he chewed, the distinctly different texture and flavor of wild boar and domestic pork immediately caught Wang Zhong's eye, and he exclaimed in delight:
"This is really good meat, and the taste is absolutely amazing. I doubt even a chef could make wild boar meat taste this good."

Having said that, Wang Zhong opened the bottle cap, took a swig of wine, and shouted:

"It's so comfortable."

"A thousand cups of wine are not enough when drinking with a bosom friend; half a sentence is too much when talking to someone with whom you don't get along."

"Cousin, I think we should be best friends."

Wang Chengpeng: ...? ? ?
Despite his excellent memory, he couldn't recall exactly when the two of them became close friends.

In the end, Wang Chengpeng couldn't refuse Wang Zhong's request, so he opened the bottle and clinked glasses with him.

It has to be said that this kind of weather is actually quite suitable for drinking, especially in this drafty, makeshift thatched hut, where drinking can help ward off the cold.

After a few drinks, Wang Zhong became more talkative.

Without waiting for Wang Chengpeng's response, she simply began to speak on her own:
"To be honest, I didn't really take you seriously at first. What surprised me was that you didn't back down."

"I remember that day my brother excitedly told me with a piece of candy that it was a good thing taught to him by his master, Wang Chengpeng."

“I’m used to being unruly in this underground world, and I rarely see him praise someone like that. I remembered your name from that moment on.”

"After the test you gave me at my house last time, I, Wang Zhong, think you are a capable person."

"As expected, you actually took down a wild boar all by yourself. I'm afraid even I might not have that skill."

Upon hearing this, Wang Chengpeng subconsciously narrowed his eyes, because he knew it was time to reveal the true intentions.

Sure enough, Wang Zhong, who had been rambling on and on, suddenly had a gleam in his eyes and solemnly said to Wang Chengpeng:
"You are a capable person. I am now, as the militia captain, formally inviting you to join our village's militia!"

"With you here, the security in our village will definitely improve significantly."

"Didn't you want a gun? Hunting rifles aren't as fun as rifles."

"Come to me, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Looking at the carcass of the wild boar, Wang Zhong was moved by the sight of Wang Chengpeng's talent. While feeling shocked, he also had the idea of ​​bringing Wang Chengpeng into the militia.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhong continued to persuade him:

"You are still young, and you will definitely have a bright future if you join us."

"Putting everything else aside, my position as militia captain is reserved for you!"
