Reborn in the 1980s: Nine Stunning Beauties Get Pregnant Before Marriage

Someone turned to Chen Yongqiang, who was skinning the snow leopard, and asked, "Brother Qiang, is the snow leopard meat edible?"

"Yeah, we've never tasted leopard meat before!" someone immediately chimed in.

"The meat of carnivores is sour and doesn't taste good." Next to Chen Yongqiang was a pile of processed leopard meat.

It would certainly not be delicious for human consumption, but feeding it to Sirius would bring it many benefits.

One person chuckled and said, "We've just never tried it before, so we want to give it a try!"

"Exactly! Then we can brag to people that we've eaten leopard meat!"

Seeing that the villagers were indeed curious, Chen Yongqiang cut off a relatively clean piece of leopard meat: "Then you can take a piece to roast. Each person can only have a taste, not too much."

Seeing that Chen Yongqiang had given in, Niuwazi quickly picked up the piece of leopard meat, skewered it with a twig, and roasted it by the fire.

Chen Yongqiang cut off a large piece of leopard meat with the bone and threw it to Tianlang, who was squatting to the side.

"This is a reward for you. You did a great job tonight."

Sirius lowered its head and sniffed, then immediately began to tear into it with large bites.

Wolves and leopards have highly overlapping ecological niches and are direct competitors.

They prey on similar animals and often clash over territory and food resources.

Chen Yongqiang simply processed the inside of the leopard skin he had peeled off, and then used several wooden poles to stretch and flatten the entire skin.

To ensure it wouldn't shrink or deform, I hung it in a well-ventilated, shady spot in the work shed to dry.

"Brother Qiang, the leopard meat is ready! Come and have a bite!" Niuwazi excitedly called out to Chen Yongqiang, holding up the skewer of charred leopard meat.

Having just finished his work, Chen Yongqiang walked over, used a knife to cut a small piece from the meat skewer, and chewed it.

"It smells fishy and tastes dry. You just wait."

After saying that, he turned and went into the thatched hut. A short while later, he came out with several small jars containing chili powder, salt, and homemade spice powder: "Brush some of this on, and try roasting it for a few more minutes."

Zhao Fugen, who was standing next to him, couldn't wait any longer and had already picked up a large piece of sauerkraut stewed wild boar with his chopsticks and started eating.

"Qiangzi, I'm not waiting for your leopard meat anymore, this wild boar stew is absolutely delicious!"

Chen Yongqiang picked up a plastic bucket filled with loose liquor from the side and filled the rough porcelain bowl in front of Zhao Fugen:

"Uncle Zhao, please eat more. You'll have to take good care of my house from now on."

The young men were clearly more interested in the skewer of grilled leopard meat.

"Hey kid, do you even know how to bake? Don't burn it!"

"Exactly, be careful when flipping it!"

"Stop arguing! Just wait to eat." Niuwazi got excited and started flipping the meat while sprinkling seasoning on it, doing a pretty good job of it.

Chen Yongqiang had just shared a drink with Zhao Fugen when Niuwazi handed him the piece of leopard meat that had been freshly coated with sauce.

"Brother Qiang, try again, see if it's flavorful this time?"

Chen Yongqiang cut off a small piece and put it in his mouth to taste. The flavors of chili and spices masked much of the gamey smell, and although the meat was still a bit tough, it was barely edible.

"This is alright. Share it with others, but don't eat too much."

Upon hearing that it was edible, the young men immediately began to scramble for it.

"Let me have a taste!"

"Give it to me, give it to me!"

"Don't grab it! Leave one for Uncle Zhao first!" Chen Yongqiang shouted.

Several pieces of leopard meat were devoured in the blink of an eye. The young men chewed on their chewy chunks of meat, nodding exaggeratedly in approval.

"This is leopard meat! It's delicious!"

"That's powerful!"

They rarely ate meat on ordinary days, so now that they had meat to eat, especially such a rare delicacy, and with plenty of seasoning, they naturally found it delicious.

Chen Yongqiang took a sip of his drink and said casually, "It's not that I'm stingy, but just try this leopard meat once in a while. Don't eat too much. It's not good for your health."

This wasn't something he made up; the meat of carnivores is naturally acidic and not suitable for humans to consume in large quantities.

At this moment, Qin Liping walked over, carrying a bowl in her hand: "Brother Yongqiang, my dad isn't feeling well tonight. May I get him a bowl of meat soup?"

"Go ahead and call. Is Uncle Qin Shan feeling unwell? Have you called Doctor Ding over to take a look?" Chen Yongqiang put down his wine bowl and asked with concern.

"I've already seen him. Dr. Ding said he was just tired and should rest more." Qin Liping ladled some meat soup into a bowl and carried it back.

That evening, the workers' shed was bustling with activity for quite some time. Several of the younger men, who rarely drank alcohol in Japan, were already somewhat unsteady after a few bowls of wine.

Seeing this, Zhao Fugen said, "Alright, alright, that's enough. Go back and rest. You have to come back to the construction site early tomorrow morning!"

The young men then swayed as they got up, supporting each other, and chatted and laughed as they headed home.

"Uncle Zhao, would you like me to take you home?" Chen Yongqiang was a little worried about Zhao Fugen, who was getting on in years.

"No need," Zhao Fugen had already stood up and turned on his old-fashioned flashlight. "It's just a few steps; I could find my way back with my eyes closed."

After everyone had left, Qin Liping returned to help clear the dishes.

Qin Lijuan and Liang Meie didn't leave either. The three women worked together and quickly cleaned up the shed.

This made things much easier for Lin Xiulian, who had difficulty moving around after becoming pregnant.

As Liang Meie tidied up, her gaze kept drifting towards Chen Yongqiang, her lips moving slightly as if she had something to say.

However, since the Qin sisters were also present, she ultimately did not speak.

After everything was tidied up, Liang Meie walked up to Chen Yongqiang and said, "Yongqiang, it's too dark now, and I'm a little scared to go home alone. Could you walk me home?"

Chen Yongqiang knew perfectly well that Liang Meie dared to go out alone in the middle of the night, so she was not afraid of the dark.

He glanced at her, and their eyes met, a tacit understanding forming between them. "Okay, I'll give you a ride."

Chen Yongqiang, holding a flashlight, accompanied Liang Meie along the village road for a while.

The man and woman stopped in front of an old tree without prior agreement.

Chen Yongqiang turned off the flashlight, and Liang Meie gently pressed herself against him, wrapping her arms around his neck.

Her lips, reeking of alcohol, eagerly sought his, and the two immediately embraced and kissed.

At this moment, no words are needed; they often show affection in such unexpected corners.

Behind haystacks in the village, in bushes at the foot of the mountain, and even on the kang (heated brick bed) at Liang Meie's house, there were traces of the two being intimate.

After kissing for a while, Liang Meie finally released Chen Yongqiang and whispered in his ear, "You...have you taken a fancy to those two sisters from the Qin family?"

Chen Yongqiang tightened his grip on her, holding her even closer: "How could that be?"

"Qin Liping's gaze towards you is a bit strange. Is there really nothing going on between you two?" Liang Meie, with her keen observation, naturally noticed something amiss.

"No, I didn't even touch her hand." Chen Yongqiang was telling the truth; he only touched other parts of her body, not her hand.

"Won't the Qin sisters just end up benefiting someone else? Do you want me to help you win them over?" Liang Meie knew in her heart that she alone probably couldn't hold onto Chen Yongqiang, a man who was showing more and more ability.
