Starting from 1950

Chapter 111 A Triumphant Return

The work of dividing up the square began quickly.

The Xifeng Military Control Commission had originally conscripted 20 butchers from the county, but faced with such a situation, the manpower was clearly far from sufficient.

Many teams simply cut up their prey themselves.

The experienced clerk, Wang, became the technical consultant for Limin Flour Factory.

He directed several young security officers to pull out daggers, machetes, and even axes from their backpacks.

These were all prepared before boarding the train.

"Wild boars have thick skin, so cut along the joints, don't hack at them! For juvenile deer and calves, cut along the midline of the abdomen, being careful not to rupture the intestines..."

'

"We'll deal with the smaller animals like rabbits and chickens later; let's get the bigger items sorted first!"

"That tiger... sigh, what a pity about the tiger penis, but the meat is all ours. A few of you, lend a hand and let's cut off its four legs first!"

The men got to work with great enthusiasm.

The square was filled with the sounds of blades slicing through flesh and bones snapping.

Su Yang did not step forward to cut the pieces. Yu Feng knew that although the kid was a sharpshooter, he was still young and should avoid physical labor and bloody scenes.

He put Su Yang in charge of looking after the already counted stockpile of game, especially the pheasants and rabbits, to prevent curious children or people with ulterior motives from stealing them.

Su Yang was happy to be at ease, leaning against a huge burlap sack containing the marching blankets of the flour mill workers. He wrapped Xiaobai in his arms even tighter and calmly surveyed the square, a place of clamor and bloodshed.

He glanced at Xiaoyu's side when he had a spare moment.

Xiao Yu was already at the headquarters of the Fourth Army in Junzili. In the afternoon, he took a quick look and saw that it was a building that was half-buried in the ground.

When Xiaoyu arrived in the evening, many imposing people came to see her. At that time, Su Yang was helping to transport the game and didn't have time to switch perspectives to see her.

Now that it's late at night and the leaders are all resting, Xiaoyu, just like in the 352nd Regiment, finds a coat rack and stands up on it as soon as she arrives.

Because Xiaoyu had her eyes closed, Su Yang couldn't see anything when he switched his view.

He didn't disturb Xiaoyu, but quietly switched back.

The area where the prey was divided was bustling with activity.

Wild boars were skinned and deboned, and huge chunks of meat were stacked up; baby boars were gutted; venison was cut into strips for easy air-drying or marinating; pheasants and rabbits were simply gutted, and several were strung together with straw rope, resembling a giant meat gourd.

While busy at work, Wang couldn't help but chatter to the people next to him: "Look at this wild boar meat, so fatty and delicious, perfect for making cured meat! The tender meat around the roe is amazing for dumplings!"

Venison may be a bit coarse, but it's incredibly nutritious! And these pheasants and rabbits...tsk tsk, guys at the factory, if anyone doesn't have a few hearty dishes on their New Year's Eve dinner table this year, I'll be ashamed!

"Isn't the character '王' (wang) upside down the same?" Su Yang couldn't help but interject.

His words drew laughter and even more energetic work.

The air was filled not only with the stench of blood, but also with a strong longing for a bountiful year.

Fox...badger...weasel...hare...53 jin!

The train's muffled whistle tore through the cold, biting air of Xifeng County, and the long line of green carriages slowly started moving on the makeshift tracks.

The interior of the train carriage is no longer what it was when we arrived.

The smells of sweat, tobacco, strong, pungent blood, and the stench of animal fat mingled together, creating a thick, suffocating odor.

The aisles and under the seats were piled with bulging sacks, oilcloth wrappings, and strings of birds and small animals tied with straw rope.

The area connecting the two hard-seat carriages was specifically allocated to the Limin Flour Factory for catching prey.

No other sister companies raised any objections because Limin Flour Factory had caught the most prey in this hunt and was the most qualified to take this position.

Wild boar chunks, chicken legs, strings of pheasants and rabbits, and several large bundles tightly wrapped in oilcloth...

The tiger meat and tiger fat, emitting a unique fishy smell, are arranged like small hills.

Everyone's face was filled with irrepressible excitement and satisfaction.

"Oh my god, this smell...it's amazing!" Officer Wang sniffed, his words laced with disgust, but his eyes gleamed as he surveyed the surrounding "mountains of meat," as if admiring some rare treasure. "When I get back, I'm going to ask my mom to make me meat dumplings...tsk tsk, I haven't had meat in two months, just thinking about it makes my mouth water!"

"I'll have my wife make braised tiger meat!"

"It's a pity there were no tiger bones, otherwise I would have brewed a whole jar of wine!"

"I bet you want to soak it in tiger penis, huh? Haha!"

"Get lost! I don't need tiger penis!"

Having not slept all night, none of them were sleepy. They chattered about how to distribute the precious meat, how to store it, and whether to send some to relatives and friends during the New Year.

The cold journey was made warm and cozy by the fruitful harvest and the beautiful vision for the future.
