Chapter 449 Satisfied (fourth update)
Meng Manteng looked at Shen Zhouheng who was a little nervous and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, it's not a big deal? It's just that the Chinese New Year is coming up in a couple of months. Can you have more game?"

"It's no problem." Shen Zhouheng responded straightforwardly, heaving a sigh of relief in his heart, it's not a particularly difficult thing to do.

"I thought it would be best to have two pigs." Meng Manteng gestured with his fingers, "This dumpling is still delicious with pork stuffing."

"Wild boars are not easy to catch." Shen Zhouheng frowned slightly and looked at him and said, "The key is whether we can meet them."

"You don't need wild boars, domestic ones are fine." Meng Manteng quickly waved his hands, "Master Shen, don't worry, we can buy them at the market price."

"That's fine, no problem." Shen Zhouheng responded straightforwardly, and said politely, "Is there anything else I need?"

"No, no more." Meng Manteng cupped his hands and said, "I'm bothering Master Shen."

"No trouble, no trouble." Shen Zhou smiled and shook his head slightly, "Is it just the lack of meat?"

"Lack? We have been raining for half a month in summer, and it has been even worse in other places. This person has run away. Who cares about the pigs, cattle and sheep in this pigsty!" Meng Manteng said helplessly.

"Isn't this state capital good?" Shen Zhouheng looked at him suspiciously and said.

"Didn't we send the poultry, pigs, and sheep to the provincial capital?" Meng Manteng pouted and said, with some complaints in his tone.

Shen Zhouheng understands a little bit, it's no problem for Master Futai to please Shangfeng, but he has to save some for everyone!

"Are these two pigs enough?" Shen Zhou asked with his clear eyes looking at him.

"Of course, the more the better." Meng Manteng looked at him with surprise in his eyes and said.

"It's New Year's Eve! It's good luck, Liuliu Dashun, six pigs will do." Shen Zhou said with a slight smile, raising the corner of his lips.

"That's a good relationship." Meng Manteng cupped his hands and said, "Meng, thank you in advance."

"Master Meng, let's eat something before leaving!" Shen Zhou asked politely to stay.

"No, you're short on food here too." Meng Manteng declined with a smile.

"Then the chicken roasted on the stove, and the rabbit, Mr. Meng, take it on the road! It's cold, don't be afraid of bad weather." Shen Zhouheng looked at him with warm eyes and said.

"Why is this so embarrassing?" Meng Manteng rubbed his forehead to avoid his gaze.

"There's nothing to be ashamed of, Mr. Meng has worked so hard, and we are all counting on you!" Shen Zhou complimented with a horizontal smile.

Meng Manteng was very receptive to his flattery, and reluctantly said, "Then I will accept it."

"Once the food is handed over, it should be baked." Shen Zhou said with a smile, his eyes fell on the teacup in front of him and said, "Drink water, drink water."

The two chatted for a while, and Shen Zhouheng waited for him to finish drinking the water, "Master Meng, do you want to go to the canal to see how the progress is?"

"Uh..." Meng Manteng hesitated for a moment, what do I think Lao Shizi is doing?Thinking about it later, when the magistrate Mr. Ye asked, I also had something to say.

You can’t always ask three questions!It will take some time to unload the food!

Meng Manteng rolled his eyes and readily agreed, "Okay!"

"Master Meng, put this on." Shen Zhouheng took off the rattan hat from the wall and handed it to Meng Manteng.

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether you wear it or not." Meng Manteng looked at him with the hat in his hand and said.

"Put it on! It's clean and big, you don't need to take off your leather hat." Shen Zhouheng advised in a soft voice, "Safety is important."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Meng Manteng looked down to see that the hat was indeed clean, and put it on his head, "The size is just right!"

Shen Zhouheng slandered in his heart: Of course it's suitable, I'd rather be too big than too small, if it's too big, I can still stuff fur inside to keep warm.

"Let's go!" Shen Zhou pushed open the door.

Shen Zhouheng accompanied Meng Manteng around the canal, looking inside and out.

"The progress is faster than I thought." Meng Manteng said while walking on the mountain road.

"It's been a good day and it hasn't rained or snowed seriously this year, so it's going to be done quickly." Shen Zhouheng said after him, "Mr. Meng, be careful."

"Boom..." Meng Manteng shrank his neck in shock and said, "What kind of sound is that?"

"Boom..." He hit his head again and rolled on the ground.

"It's a pine cone." Shen Zhouheng bent down to pick it up, looked around, and finally fixed on a pine tree, "Master Meng was hit by a squirrel with a pine cone."

"This naughty little guy." Meng Manteng took the pine ball in Shen Zhouheng's hand and threw it at the squirrel.

This quasi-head can not be complimented.

The little squirrel bared its teeth at them and jumped on the tree branch.

"Is this little guy not afraid of people?" Meng Manteng looked at him curiously and asked.

"Don't be afraid! You can often see them jumping around in the forest." Shen Zhouheng smiled and said, "I guess it's because it hasn't snowed, and it's cold and they should be stuck in the tree hole."

Seeing that he was very interested in squirrels, Shen Zhouheng asked, "Master Meng, do you want to catch them back and give them to the children to play with?"

"No, they were fresh for a while, and then they didn't care about them. My wife doesn't like small animals very much!" Meng Manteng shook his head after hearing the words.

"Alright then! Let's go." Shen Zhouheng looked at him gently and said.

The two returned to the bamboo house, and the food delivery had been completed.

Meng Manteng bowed his hands and bid farewell to Shen Zhouheng, and left with a game cage.

"I really don't know why Master Meng wants so much game?" He Bingkun looked at them suspiciously and asked.

"It goes without saying, let's eat!" Qin Laowu said carelessly.

He Bingkun was taken aback when he heard the words, and then smiled, "Of course I know it's for food, but I didn't have it last year, so it's strange. Are there no domestic ones?"

"Ah! Could it be that the state government didn't raise them because we raised them?" Qin Lao Wu looked at them with a pale face and said.

"It's not as exaggerated as what you said?" Shen Zhouheng looked at Qin Lao Wu dumbfounded and said, "We can't buy out these chickens and piglets, they will be sold one by one!"

"That's right!" Qin Laowu scratched his head and smiled foolishly.

"I learned from Mr. Meng that the state government has sent all the chickens, ducks and geese it raises to the provincial government." Shen Zhouheng looked at them with clear eyes and explained, "This other place has been hit by a disaster. Run, how can the poultry run away! They couldn’t run away, and many died.”

"Oh! So that's the case!" Qin Laowu patted his chest and said, "As long as it's not our business."

"From what I've heard, it's impossible to keep asking for wild game." He Bingkun slightly turned his head to look at Shen Zhouheng and said.

"Yes!" Shen Zhouheng said with a smile on his face, "This Chinese New Year will require a lot of poultry and pork."
