Chapter 275 Finished
This piece of meat is so big, it weighs at least 25 grams. People with a small appetite will feel full after eating this piece of meat.
Everyone looked at the meat that was distributed in front of them. Although it was all lean meat, it was still meat after all. It was steaming and the fragrance was wafting out. No one knew how it was made, but it smelled so good. Who could resist it?
The men threw away their steamed buns and grabbed the big piece of meat to start chewing on it. They grimaced from the burn, but they were reluctant to let go with their left or right hands. They bit off a piece, chewed it back and forth in their mouths a few times, and then swallowed it.
"Oh my god, this skinny meat is so delicious. I thought only fat meat tasted like this."
“Hmmmm…delicious, delicious…”
The others didn't have time to talk. They just focused on eating the meat.
Zhou Guo pulled out a dagger and cut off a small piece. Her piece was roasted more tenderly than the others, about 60% to 70% done. When she put it in her mouth, it was indeed fresh and tender, extremely delicious, and made her mouth water.
Zhou Da Cang, who was standing by, accidentally saw her meat and was stunned. The cut was still red. He said, "Guo Guo, your meat is not cooked yet. There are blood streaks."
The others didn't care and said vaguely, "Who cares? It's delicious."
"That's right, this is meat. Let alone cooking it, I can eat it even if you put a piece of raw meat in front of me."
The men ate voraciously, their mouths full of grease, without any trace of image at all.
Although the villagers were not as greedy as the other men, they also ate without even raising their heads.
Old Lady Du would look up after taking a few bites to see if there was any more in everyone's bowls, especially at Zhou Guo. Whenever anyone picked out a good piece of meat, she would put it into her bowl.
After a while, the meat in her bowl was piled up as high as a mountain.
Zhou Guo was eating roasted deer choke. She looked down and nearly choked. Seeing the old lady still putting food into her bowl, she hurriedly said, "Grandma, that's enough, eat it yourself. My bowl is full, so eat it yourself."
Zhou Da Cang was amused when he saw her. This girl was always popular wherever she went. He said with a smile, "You can eat by yourself. Don't worry that she won't be full. She will never go hungry or suffer any grievances wherever she goes."
The old lady was very pleased. "That's good. Life is all about eating. It's good if you don't go hungry. Not going hungry means you have ability. You can live a good life without suffering any great loss. You are blessed."
The other old woman swallowed a mouthful of meat, picked up another piece for her grandson, and her husband also picked up a piece. She agreed with what he said, "Yes, it is a great blessing to be able to eat a full meal every day. You uncle and nephew are both good children and are blessed."
Everyone ate the meat with big mouthfuls and nodded repeatedly.
It's not that I'm lucky, but I have the ability to hunt. I can't guarantee anything else, but at least I won't lack meat in this life and I won't starve to death. This is better than most people in the world.
Everyone was busy eating and envious. When they saw others putting piece of meat into their bowls one by one, they didn't even have time to envy them. They just focused on picking up the meat and eating it. The meat in front of them was more real.
More than a dozen people ate all the meat in the pot and basin in one meal, and there was not a single piece of black mask left in the basket. They even licked the basin and bowl clean.
The appetite is really big!
Everyone ate until their bellies were full and exclaimed, "This is probably the most satisfying meal I've ever had in my life."
"Yes, the meat I ate today is more than I have eaten in all the previous years combined."
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "You guys will have to work hard these two days. We will continue to eat like this tonight and tomorrow."
When everyone heard this, they realized that there was still enough meat. They were originally a little sleepy after eating and were drowsy sitting on the stools, but they suddenly became alert, stood up immediately, and got busy working.
Everyone seemed to be full of energy, as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and seemed to have endless energy.
The old lady followed behind with her back hunched, shouting, "Take a break. We just had dinner. Be careful not to get a stitch in the side. Don't worry, don't worry."
The men were not willing to listen to her. What was wrong with working more just to eat meat? It wasn't a big deal. They had almost robbed people just for food before.
He felt that the old lady following behind was an eyesore, so he said, "Old lady, please go away. We should clean up the house as soon as possible so that you can move in earlier. Go and do your own work. If you stay here, we will have to be restrained and afraid that you will bump into something."
Zhou Dacang looked at Zhou Guo and said with a smile: "You are giving them a slap in the face and then giving them a sweet date. Look how much harder they are working."
Zhou Guo said, "If they don't work hard, when will the roof be finished? I think if it's fast, it will be almost done by noon tomorrow. We can leave in the afternoon and can't stay here for too long."
Zhou Dacang stood up and said, "Yes, with this much skill, I can travel to two counties."
In the afternoon, Zhou Guo went into the mountains again. In addition to hunting a lot of prey, he also carried back the wood he had cut in the morning and had people polish them one by one so that they could be used as beams.
She didn't stop, put down her things and went into the mountains with the axe. On the way of hunting, she encountered many dead trees in the forest. She cut them down and chopped them one by one. The old lady should not have to worry about firewood this winter.
She spent half the afternoon chopping down trees. The axe, which was originally sharp, became blunt. She chopped down sixteen trees in total. Before dark, she carried all the dead trees back by herself and unloaded them all outside the yard.
When the people in the yard saw her ability to carry seven or eight dead trees, even though they had seen it before, they still couldn't help but be surprised. They really couldn't understand where such a small person got so much strength from. They didn't dare to ask, for fear that if the person they asked was unhappy, they would get beaten.
The group worked for the whole afternoon and had another big pot of meat in the evening. When everyone saw the pot of meat, they didn't care even if there were not many steamed buns. The meat was so delicious, and there was enough of it and it could satisfy their hunger.
After dinner, the other two families in the village went back and agreed to come back tomorrow to help for a day.
There are only a few families in this area. The other families in the village are at least three or four miles away from here, which is inconvenient. Whenever any of these families have problems, they will come uninvited and help if they can. They are closer to us than our own relatives.
Zhou Guo thought this was a good idea. There weren't many people here to begin with, and it was a thousand times better for several families to get along well with each other than to fight with each other, and it would benefit everyone.
Since the roof had not been laid yet, it didn't matter where they slept at night, there was no roof. The men simply slept on the straw in the yard and fell asleep soon. It was good to have straw.
The old lady still slept in her own bed. Even though it was covered by a roof, the place where she had slept for most of her life made her feel at ease. Even if she died at this moment, she would die in her own bed.
Zhou Guo also slept on the same bed as last night, with Zhou Dacang sleeping on each side. The uncle and nephew always slept together when they were outside.
They slept like this when they were fleeing. Zhou Guo was young and didn't care about so many things. When they were away from home, it was much safer for two people to sleep in one place rather than in two places. No matter what happened, they would always be able to take care of each other.
