Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

Village Chief Hu asked everyone to sit down beside the fire.

Liu's mother brought over the dinner that had been left for them, which was still being heated over the fire.

"Eat something first and talk while you eat."

Just now, Father Liu briefly told him about the situation of Lin Weizhong and the other man. Village Chief Hu was still a little curious, but he did not ask too many questions. Seeing that they brought back so much meat, he did not know what to say.

In addition, Village Chief Hu trusts the Liu family and knows that they are not the kind of unreliable people who would easily join in with people with bad character.

So he nodded and said

"When I cooked dinner, I didn't expect there would be two more people, so each of you should eat a little to fill your stomach first, and I'll cook more tomorrow morning. If you get hungry later, you can get some more food for yourselves."

It was obvious that he was talking to Lin Weizhong and his son, and Lin Weizhong also expressed his gratitude politely.

"It's great to have someone who can stutter. Thank you, village chief, for taking me and my son in!"

Village chief Hu asked people to pile all the wolves together and thought about something.

"Brother Liu and his men have been with us for some time, and we trust their character. Since you are someone they know, we trust their family."

The others each had a bowl of wild vegetable and chestnut porridge to eat. Lin Weizhong and his son had two small bags. He explained that they had a backpack that was thrown away when they were chased by the wolves before, and now they only had two small bags.

Liu Caixia and the others knew that their things must be in the space, and Liu's father also helped to cover it up.

Father Liu knew that they couldn't get anything to eat at the moment, but fortunately they had so much wolf meat, so he said to Village Chief Hu, "Village Chief Hu, although Lin Weizhong and his son are not relatives of us, they are at least people we know in the neighboring village, so our family will help them with some of their rations, and as for this wolf meat, Xiao Lin also said before that he would share some with the villagers."

Village Chief Hu was very happy to hear this. With so much wolf meat, their village was already taking advantage.

"Brother Liu, you are too polite. We are already taking advantage of the wolf meat. Although the temperature in the mountains is lower, it is still quite hot. If we keep the meat for a long time, it will not be good. My suggestion is to make it into jerky so that it can be preserved for a longer time!"

Lin Weizhong immediately understood and said

"Village Chief Hu, I told the brothers here before that if we share these wolves with everyone in the village, we won't be able to finish them all. It would be a shame if they go bad. It's better to share them with the people in the village. After all, they are meat. Everyone has a hard time. Eat some meat to nourish their bodies. Let everyone come and help!"

Village Chief Hu saw that Lin Weizhong was a wise man, so he arranged it without hesitation.

"Then I will call one person from each family to come over and help process the meat. The meat will be distributed to the villagers. As for the skin, it is up to you to decide. It is enough for the villagers to have meat to eat!"

Father Liu looked at Lin Weizhong, who nodded and said he could say

"Then I'll trouble you, Village Chief Hu. When we were dealing with these wolves, I got some injuries on my arms and back. I just bandaged them up briefly. I hope you can allow me to rest for a few days. I can go hunting and work when I'm better. My Kung Fu is still pretty good!"

As he spoke he raised his arm to signal.

After finishing her meal, Liu Caixia joined the team that cleaned up the wolf meat. Seeing Lin Weizhong talking to Village Chief Hu about his injury, she also came to help.

"Village Chief Hu, his arm was scratched by a wolf. We all saw it. His son helped to apply some wound medicine he brought with him and bandaged it. He really needs to rest.

Village chief, you don't know how dangerous this time is. If it weren't for the two of them, the three of us would have never returned. Our family must repay this life-saving grace. We also stored some food before, and when the time comes, we will take it out and eat it together, just as their rations!"

Village Chief Hu watched Liu Caixia prove to Lin Weizhong and had long believed what he said. His clothes were indeed very clean after he changed them, but the bandage strips could still be seen.

I just don't know how badly he was injured. After listening to Liu Caixia, I realized that it was unlikely that so many wolves were not injured, so I said:

"It's okay, it's okay. All the wolf meat has been distributed to the villagers. The villagers are not stingy people. From now on, just go with the village. It's always safer to go with more people than just you and your son. You don't trust others to leave your son to them, but you know everyone in the Liu family, so you can be more assured!"

"Thank you, Village Chief Hu. Don't worry, my father and I will never cause trouble or eat for free!"

Lin Weizhong was relieved to see that Village Chief Hu had accepted them.

At the call of Village Chief Hu, each family sent one person to clean the wolf meat. For this purpose, they specially found a man to replace the village butcher to come and handle it. The village chief said that he was good at skinning the wolf meat quickly.

When he came over with a professional butcher knife and finished skinning a wolf in just a few strokes, everyone believed what the village chief said.

The villagers were used to it. After processing, they cut the meat and packed it separately. They also put the skin aside and gave it to Lin Weizhong later.

The wolf meat was properly distributed to each household, and the air was filled with the faint aroma of barbecued meat. This was the result of the villagers' hard work and wise cooperation.

At this time, Village Chief Hu suddenly sighed.

"Well, if we have extra coarse salt, we can pickle it and eat it for a longer time, but we don't have much salt at home! Even if we make it into jerky, the jerky will lack flavor if there is not much salt! Forget it, it's already very good."

Liu Caixia and her friends bought salt in the city, and Xiaolu also had some salt, but she couldn't take it out. She thought about it and decided that so much meat should be pickled. It could be made into barbecue jerky and kept for a longer time, so she told the village chief Hu.

"Village chief, we still have salt at home. I have a method to make jerky. You can cut some meat, add some salt and other seasonings to make jerky. The Jerusalem artichokes that I taught the aunties in the village to pick are very good seasonings and can be used to make jerky!"

"Really? That's great!"

Village chief Hu was very excited. It was very difficult for villagers in that era to have meat to eat, so where would they get the extra meat to make jerky? Therefore, they had never made jerky before.

They just knew that this thing existed. Some merchants would make dried meat and sell it to wealthy people in traveling caravans. No one in their village had ever made it.

Really don’t know how to do it?

The dried meat I made before was barely edible, so it’s great to have something to eat at this time.

Who cares about the taste?

But there are condiments that can make the jerky taste good, and who doesn’t want to eat something delicious!

"Of course it's true. Did you pick up a lot of firewood last night? The meat we collected can be cooked right away. With the firewood slowly roasting it overnight, we should be able to roast a lot. It's best to build a few more kangs to roast the meat! Sort it all out so we can set off tomorrow!"

"I'll have them gather all the firewood and come over to check. If it's really not enough, they can check the surrounding area with torches. Let everyone in the village get moving and finish making the meat jerky. We have to hurry tomorrow, otherwise it will be too unsafe to walk in the mountains with all this raw meat!"

After saying this, Village Chief Hu also asked some men in the village.

"You guys send some people to the surrounding areas to collect some firewood. After everyone has walked around the area, they will all know where the firewood is. Then go collect some firewood and roast the meat together. The roasted meat will be distributed according to the number of people. Those who work harder will get more!"

When the villagers heard that the meat would be distributed per person and that those who worked could get more meat, they were all happy to work and agreed.

"Sure, Village Chief, we'll go pick some up and bring them back later. We'll make as many as we can!"

The dried meat also boosted the morale of these people, and they worked harder.
