Age: My Small World

Chapter 383: Beating Corn

"By the way, Captain Liu said the other internal organs need to be processed before they can be sent to you. That thing has just been opened."

Lego said, handing the thing to him.

Yang Jun took it casually and weighed it. He found that it was quite heavy, estimating it to be about five or six kilograms.

"Then I'll go get it myself later."

Offal is a good thing. He came here to eat it with everyone. It won’t be difficult for the team to set up a small kitchen.

"I'll go with you later." Wang Chong continued.

After the two of them experienced the black bear incident together, he regarded Yang Jun as a friend for life and death, so his behavior became more friendly.

The three of them weren't surprised. Lu Liangjun said, "Yang Jun, your bear paws are hard to preserve. Do you want me to get some salt for you?"

They thought Yang Jun really wanted to send it back home, so they started to give him some advice.

It is possible to send things these days, but the postage is very expensive. It is okay for letters, but it is not cost-effective to send other things.

"No need. Actually, I already have a way to preserve this thing." He looked very confident, which made Lu Liangjun nod immediately without saying anything more.

Yang Jun put the two bear paws away, and then began to ask about the situation of dealing with the black bear.

According to Liu Jinfeng, the idea was to cut the bear meat into two halves and then make two meals for everyone.

The village population is only a few hundred people, plus the twenty or thirty students who come here, so we can only get a taste of it.

But this does not hinder everyone's enthusiasm. This is bear meat, and it is not easy to eat it.

At this moment, the cooking is in full swing.

"Why don't we continue to look around and help out or something."

It was boring to stay in this empty room, so the four of them went to the scene again.

But they were obviously overthinking it, and there was no way they could help.

Because the workers in the fields had already finished working, everyone gathered around the kitchen.

The area was already crowded with people, and everyone was helping out, so they were of no use.

"Well, it seems we don't have to squeeze through, lest we end up doing more harm than good."

So a few people started watching from the outside.

At around seven o'clock, today's meal was finally ready, and the steaming dishes in the bucket emitted an intoxicating aroma.

"It's time for dinner. Everyone, please line up and come get your food one by one."

As Liu Jihong spoke, everyone started lining up.

Yang Jun and the others also lined up at the back of the team.

When it was Yang Jun's turn, the lady serving the food recognized him immediately.

"It's you, the bear-hunting boy."

There was a hint of gratitude in the eldest sister's eyes. The man in her family often went to the mountains to get things, but he hadn't had time to go today because of work. Otherwise, she might not have seen him come back.

So when facing Yang Jun, the person who indirectly saved her man's life, she was naturally very grateful. Even her hands were very steady when she served him rice. She scooped a full spoonful of meat for him.

Yang Jun quickly thanked him and took it, not wanting to let his elder sister down. After all, it wasn't that much.

After getting their meal, everyone squatted aside to eat, and some would even find a stone to sit on.

The conditions in the village were limited, so it was impossible to set up a canteen. They just placed pots and pans in front of the three houses to serve food.

After dinner, the cafeteria will collect your dishes and wash them for you, which is quite good.

Yang Jun squatted aside, holding a yellow steamed bread in one hand and a bowl of bear meat and mixed vegetables in the other.

In addition to the bear meat, there was also a cabbage and vermicelli soup and a stir-fried cabbage, which tasted quite good. However, he tasted the bear meat first.

It has been stewed until it is soft and tasty, and with the addition of spices, there is no fishy smell at all. Instead, it feels like eating pig's trotters.

"Oh my god, this meat is so delicious." Wang Chong exclaimed after finishing a piece of meat.

The same goes for others. It feels really good to eat meat, especially this meat is so special.

In fact, bear meat has coarse fibers and a stronger taste, giving it the feeling of eating pig liver, but it is also similar to beef. In short, the taste is complex.

There wasn't much meat in a spoonful, and after eating, everyone couldn't help but look at the vegetable bucket, but unfortunately there wasn't even any soup left in it.

In the evening, Liu Jihong found Yang Jun and delivered the promised bear organs to him.

Everything is tied with straw ropes, making it easy to carry or hang.

"If you want to cook something, just tell me. I can lend you the pots, pans, and utensils." Liu Jihong's words surprised Yang Jun, and he immediately offered to lend them the day after tomorrow.

Liu Jihong was not surprised, as he had long seen that Yang Jun wanted these internal organs.

Everyone slept soundly that night.

But early the next morning, the students had to enter a different rhythm and go to the fields to work at eight o'clock.

This is because many crops have been harvested now, otherwise it would not be surprising to go out at seven in the morning.

Everyone has a different division of labor and gets different tasks.

Some students had to plow the soil, some had to weed, and some had to harvest corn.

Yang Jun happened to be assigned to harvest corn, so he followed Xu Yan and the others.

I don't know if it was intentional to make the arrangements easier for him, so there were only a bunch of girls here, and he didn't see any of the remaining five guys.

"Huh? Yang Jun, you're here too."

A petite girl greeted him. It was Xu Yan's roommate Wang Siyun.

"Haha, I've been assigned here. Please take good care of me."

Yang Jun didn't act cold and unkind, but spoke in a gentle manner.

Immediately, the girls around him also greeted him.

Everyone started working without thinking too much.

Although it is said to be easy, in fact, harvesting corn is not easy at all.

Under the leadership of several older sisters, a group of girls, including young ladies and wives from Liujiazhuang, started to get busy.

First, place some corn in the middle of the flat ground with bags underneath, and then people around will hit it with sticks. As the sticks fall, the corn will fall off. This is an ancient method, which is naturally less advanced than the automatic thresher, but it has been used for hundreds of years.

The grain stick is made of two sticks connected together, one long and one short. People hold the long stick and hit with the short stick.

The rhythm is pretty good as it sways left and right.

Soon, Yang Jun adapted to this style of fighting, and then he launched a critical hit with his stick. Almost no corn in front of him survived.

Xu Yan, who was adding corn to the pile, looked at it in surprise, then increased the speed of throwing the corn.

The two of them worked together quite well, and soon they harvested several bags of corn.

"Yang Jun, do you want to change people?"

The older sisters around him have been replaced by young girls and wives. Wang Siyun also came over to ask him, worried that he was exhausted.

Yang Jun shook his arms, not feeling very tired, and said, "It's okay, go on."

Seeing that he was not insisting on doing so for show, Xu Yan continued to throw out the corn.
