Chapter 55 Dried meat
  Shen Jia curled her lips and didn't want to speak. Her father wanted the two little brats to experience life, so why didn't he take them with him? Leaving them here, he patted his butt and left.

"Sister, how many seedlings can I plant at a time?"

"Sister, is it okay to have such a wide gap?"

"Sister, is this too deep?"

"Sister, did I tear the seedlings off?"

"Sister, my feet are so itchy!"

"Sister, there is mud on your hair, let me remove it for you."

"Sister, I'm sorry, I made your hair even more dirty."

Shen Jia glanced at the seedlings she had been holding in her hands since she went to the fields. Shen Hao had already planted seedlings in most of the field. She hadn't even finished planting one row. Shen Yun and Shen An's hair and bodies were covered with mud and water stains.
  Shen Jia's forehead jumped sharply, "Yun'er, An'er, do you still want to learn to plant rice?"

The two of them glanced at themselves and then at Shen Jia's unkind eyes. Shen Yun said weakly: "Sister, I have learned it. I will start planting rice seedlings right now."

"Sister, me too." Shen An quickly expressed his stance.

After the two of them finished talking, they started planting rice seedlings in a decent manner.

Shen Jia Ni glanced at them and ignored them.

Planting two fields was quite fast. Two quarters of an hour later, the four of them had finished planting the field.

Shen Jia and Shen Hao didn't want to go to other fields to help. After all, with two troublemakers, it would be good if they didn't destroy all the seedlings.

When the four of them returned home, Mrs. Gu didn't say anything when she saw the mud on their bodies. It was obvious that this was what she expected, and she had already boiled the water.

When the four of them came out of the shower, Mrs. Gu was already preparing lunch. She hired a part-time worker today and cooked twice as much food as usual.

Shen Jia took a look at the dishes at home. They only had pork, beans and macaroni. With so many people, these dishes are still too little.

Shen Jia talked to Gu and went up the mountain, intending to hunt two pheasants back.

I don't know whether it was because Shen Jia had shot too many pheasants during this period or for other reasons. Shen Jia walked several mountains without seeing a single pheasant.

Instead, she encountered a group of wild boars and a bison fighting. Shen Jia couldn't walk after seeing the wild boars and bison. She had gone up the mountain many times without encountering large animals. Now that she finally did, she had to gain something before going back. .

Da Zhou's control over farm cattle is particularly strict. To slaughter farm cattle, you need to apply to the Yamen. They can be slaughtered only after approval from the Yamen. Generally, only cattle that are too old to be moved can go to the Yamen to apply for slaughter.

This bison weighs about a thousand kilograms, and has strong fighting power. The wild boar is not that big, but the wild boar has tusks, its fighting power is not weak, and there are many of them. It is hard to say who will win.

Shen Jia jumped onto a big tree and watched the battle below with bated breath.

The wild boar is stronger and the bison is stronger. The wild boar has tusks and the bison has horns. The two sides are fighting hard to separate each other.

Half an hour later, the wild boar and bison fell together.

Shen Jia jumped down from the tree and looked carefully at the bison and the five wild boars. The wild boar was gored to death by the horns of the bison, and the bison died after being hit by several wild boars together. Shen Jia thought for a moment and finally Decided to take them all back.

Staying here would attract other beasts and cause trouble to the village, and she was too lazy to dig a hole to bury them.

Shen Jia found vines, made a strong net, threw all the bison and wild boars into the net, and dragged them over several mountains.

Shen Jia was extremely grateful that her internal strength had reached the level of her previous life, otherwise she would not be able to take this pile of more than two thousand kilograms back with her.

Even so, Shen Jia was already exhausted by the time he reached the top of the last mountain. "Miss Shen, what are you doing?" Li Damei was looking for herbs for medicinal baths on the mountain. When she saw Shen Jia sitting on the roadside, she hurriedly ran over to ask.

She followed Shen Jia's line of sight and saw the wild boars and a bison. "I'm going to tell Mr. Shen and ask him to find someone to help." After saying that, she hurried away.

What a sensitive little girl.

Because Shen Zhuoyun had taught people in Beili Village how to read before, most people called him Mr. Shen.

More than two quarters of an hour later, Shen Zhuoyun came with a group of people, including Yang Dazhuang and two day laborers, as well as several sons of the seventh uncle and strong laborers from other families. Even Xu Fan came.

"Jia'er, take a rest when you're tired and leave the rest to dad." Shen Zhuoyun said distressedly.

If he hadn't been worried about the defense of men and women, he would have wanted to go back with Shen Jia on his back.

Shen Jia nodded feebly, and then went home with the help of Sister Li.

When Shen Jia arrived home, the yard was very lively.

A group of men were slaughtering cows and pigs in the yard, and the kitchen was boiling water in full swing.

Some people brought their own knives from home, some carried a bundle of firewood, and some boiled water directly from home.

Shen Jia and Shen Zhuoyun said that they would take out two wild boars and give them to the people who came up the mountain to help today. Each person had twenty kilograms of meat. When they heard that the Shen family was so generous, they could not accept such a heavy gift from the Shen family in vain. This lively scene.

Shen Jia also told them that turning the pig intestines over and washing them with plant ash can remove the odor.

There is strength in numbers. After more than an hour, the bison and wild boar were slaughtered, and even the floor was washed clean by a few women.

Xu Fan and Sister Li refused to have wild boar meat, so Shen Jia forced them to bring back a large piece of nearly thirty kilograms of wild boar meat.

Shen Zhuoyun gave Yang Dazhuang a large piece of beef. Yang Dazhuang couldn't refuse. Seeing that the Shen family's firewood was almost finished, he picked up a few loads of firewood from home.

After the two day laborers came back from helping to carry the wild boars, they went to plant the fields. By evening, all the rice fields in the Shen family's fields had been planted. After Shen Zhuoyun paid them, they gave each of them about ten kilograms of wild boar meat.

The two were moved to tears and said frankly that as long as the Shen family is alive in the future, they will be there immediately if you say hello.

"Jia'er, what should we do with this bison and these wild boars?"

Shen Jia looked at the bison and the remaining wild boars and decided to make jerky.

"Make jerky and eat it as a snack when you want."

"Put the meat into the pot, add scallions, ginger slices, star anise, bay leaves, white wine and simmer..."

Shen Zhuoyun and Gu completely obeyed Shen Jia's instructions without any questions, and they were busy until the evening before they finished cooking the slices.

In the next few days, after Shen Jia and the others prepared the dried meat, they planted the Eagle Claw millet rice seedlings in the ground.

Sister Li would wait outside the main gate of Shen's house every day at dawn. After Shen Zhuoyun found out, the first step after getting up every day was to open the door and let the little girl in.

Shen Jia did not teach her to practice internal strength, but trained her according to the requirements of the agents. Sister Li's bones are extremely flexible and her character is tough enough. With time, even if she has no internal strength, she will not be bad.

Mrs. Wang was an honest person. When she saw that Shen Jia was doing her best to teach Sister Li martial arts, and also taught her how to read and prepare herbal medicine, she allowed Sister Li to go home and teach her two younger sisters, so she often put a load of firewood at the door of Shen's house.

Shen Jia refused, but she continued to do so. In desperation, Shen Jia had no choice but to accept it and give it back to her in another place. Sometimes it was a hare, pheasant, or two packs of snacks.
