Reborn in 1963: I Hunted and Stockpiled Meat During a Famine

Chapter 114 also shows the activities of the younger brother and sister-in-law.

"How will we train then? It'll be a mess."

Qin Qiming insisted repeatedly before the guards reluctantly agreed.

"Should we just leave that black bear we shot down there? That's such a waste. It still has a lot of meat on it, and its hide is valuable. If we leave it like this, it'll be completely gone by tomorrow."

"There's nothing we can do about it. We don't have time to deal with it, or it'll be completely dark by the time we do."

"Okay, you typed it yourself, so you can make your own decisions."

Ma Quanxue: "Third Brother, why don't you take a look when you go and bring the leather back with you? Clean it up, sew it onto the outside, make it into a pair of underpants, it would be quite nice."

"Don't talk nonsense. What idiot would use a bear skin to make underwear? I have a delicate wife to take care of, and I need to keep that thing safe for future use!"

Seeing Qin Qiming smile, Liu San suddenly remembered something: "Brother Qiming, did Brother Kang mention the leopard to you?"

"I mentioned it a couple of days ago. What, you want to come along?"

“I have to go, otherwise you won’t be able to catch them. There are a few leopards in our village. If I don’t take anyone with me, who will?”

"Alright, then I'll have to rely on you. After you catch the leopard and make some money, I'll treat you to beef noodles in town."

"Don't wait until later. Everyone's here now, so let's skip the farm work today. Show us what you've got and let us all have a good laugh."

Qin Qiming was taken aback. "Now? Didn't we just eat?"

There's not much farm work to do, and if the harvest isn't good, it doesn't really matter if we don't go.

"I can still eat even if I've already eaten. I wasn't full just now, and I have to train tomorrow. After I finish eating, I'll sleep for a day and a half."

Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Qin Qiming thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll just cook something simple. We'll have a good meal after we catch the leopard."

Consider this a partial deposit.

"Brother Qiming is really straightforward."

"This refreshing feeling is so comforting."

Everyone laughed and stood up.

We helped each other pack and prepare the meal.

"This fragrance is addictive."

Ma Quanxue lifted the wooden lid and fanned away the mist.

Then everyone scrambled to eat.

Qin Qiming also had a great appetite.

After a long day of work, this meal tasted especially delicious.

After the meal, some people chatted while others rested.

Looking at the time, it was only three in the afternoon. Qin Qiming couldn't stay idle, so he simply stripped off the bear skin, got on his bicycle, and went to Wang Laoliu's house.

Leather of poor quality won't sell for much.

They received several sugar and grain coupons, and then bought grain, sugar, and several kilograms of pork fat at the county supply and marketing cooperative.

After buying the items, Qin Qiming put them into the cloth bag on the back of his bicycle.

Then tie it securely with a rope and ride home.

Around 5:30 p.m.

Qin Qiming returned home.

As soon as he entered the door, he carried the pork fat to the kitchen: "I'll cut it now."

At this moment, Liu Xiuqin walked into the kitchen: "What? What should I cut? Let me do it."

As Liu Xiuqin spoke, she reached for the cloth bag.

"Oh, it's pork fat. Let me do it, let me cut it. I know how to do it. I'll fry the oil for you later. You two can go out now."

"Mom, shall I do it?"

"What are you doing here? You've had a long day, go and get some rest!"

Min: "Mom, let me do it?"

"You don't need to rush, we can talk about it next time. You need to learn this slowly, you're still young!"

With that, Liu Xiuqin chased Qin Qiming and **Min out of the kitchen.

Qin Qiming and **Min exchanged a smile.

"My mom is so good!"

"Well, hello to you too!"

Min's eyes were full of love as she looked at Qin Qiming, as if he were the only one in her eyes.

Liu Xiuqin was cutting pork fat in the kitchen.

Qin Qiming returned to his room to rest, intending to take a nap, but he fell into a deep sleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

They even forgot to eat dinner.

Min wanted to call him to eat, but seeing that he was sleeping soundly without even being covered by a blanket, she covered him with a blanket and gently kissed him on the face.

Liu Xiuqin spent a full half hour in the kitchen before she finally cut the pork fat into pieces.

Then, she put the ingredients into the pot and simmered them over low heat.

As the rich lard slowly seeped out, its aroma filled the entire courtyard, and the air was filled with an enticing fragrance.

After Liu Xiuqin finished rendering the oil, she scooped out the golden and crispy cracklings and drained the oil.

While it was still hot, I brought it upstairs to the children.

"Come on, try some fresh pork cracklings!"

Xia eagerly reached out and grabbed it, exclaiming, "Ouch, it's so hot!"

Chen Xu, who had already finished two pieces of pork cracklings, was eating with gusto, his mouth dripping with oil: "It's so delicious!"

Upon seeing this, Liu Xiuqin squatted down.

She blew on Xia's hands.

"It's a bit hot, don't rush to eat it, there's still plenty left."

Qin Qixiu also reached out and took some pork cracklings to eat.

"Huixia, come on, grab another handful."

Seeing this, Qin Qixiu also said, "I want more!"

Chen Xu had already eaten two handfuls and wanted more.

"Xiao Xu, Qi Xiu can take one of the rest, and the rest are yours."

Qin Qixiu reached out and grabbed a handful; the aroma of the fried pork cracklings made her drool.

Chen Xu looked at the bowl and saw that there was still a lot left.

He knew that this was something Liu Xiuqin had specially left for him.

He reached up and wiped the corners of his mouth a few times.

"These are all mine."

After the children finished eating, they licked their fingers and then went to do their homework.

Liu Xiuqin went to scoop up oil again.

Pour the oil into an iron basin that is completely dry to cool, and then weigh it down with a round stone.

The oil must be cooled before it can be stored in a porcelain jar; otherwise, it will crack and break.

Liu Xiuqin washed the jar, dried it, and placed it in a cool, ventilated place to air dry.

Once the oil has cooled, it can be loaded directly.

The next day at noon, Liu Xiuqin cooked a meal of pork crackling rice.

**Min opened the pot lid, and the aroma immediately wafted out.

She served the rice.

Qin Qiming had just returned from the guard team when he smelled the fragrance.

"It's so fragrant!"

Min stood up from the stool, put down her bowl, and said, "Mom made pork lard rice. I'll serve you some; there's still a lot left in the pot."

"it is good."

Qin Qiming was very hungry.

He picked up Huimin's food: "Huimin, I'll eat yours, I'm hungry."

Min turned around and saw Qin Qiming taking a bite from the spot where she had just eaten.

Sudden.

Her heart raced.

I felt like I had been indirectly kissed.

A feeling of joy welled up inside me instantly.

Min Sheng filled a bowl with rice, piled it high, and pressed it down before walking up to Qin Qiming.

I've already served all the rice; I'll share some with you, I can't finish it all by myself.

Qin Qiming ate dry rice, and he ate it with great relish.

"it is good!"

The rice grains were distinct and very satisfying.

It absorbs the aroma of oil and can increase appetite.

Min noticed that Qin Qiming really liked eating like this.

Even if a grain of rice falls on your knee, you'll quickly pick it up and eat it.

He cherished the hard-earned rice.

In the afternoon, Qin Qiming went up the mountain to chop firewood.

It's the weekend, and Chen Xu and Qin Qixiu are helping to drag the tree branches down the mountain.

Qin Qiming deliberately chopped firewood on the edge of the mountain, not only to ensure his safety but also to keep an eye on his younger siblings' activities.
