CHAPTER 44: CHAPTER 44: GAINING FAME

Old Yuan and Yuan Pandi, along with the others, were clearing land on the mountain. Seeing the sun overhead, they knew it was lunchtime, so they headed back to the village.

A group of people who had been working hard all morning walked at a leisurely pace.

Leading the group were Yuan Shougui and his brothers, full of spirit. Not burdened by heavy labor, they were not too exhausted, although they had worked all morning.

The brothers chased each other, quickly entering the village and rushing into the yard.

Then, the little brothers saw the big wild boar in the yard.

"Ah!"

"Ah—"

Seeing the wild boar, the little brothers were stunned for a moment, then let out excited screams.

Wild boar!

Meat!

The thoughts of children are just that simple and unadorned.

"Grandma, Grandma, Fourth Aunt, where did this come from?"

The most lively of them, Yuan Shouyi, regained his senses, immediately looked at Mrs. Zeng and Mrs. Xiao Li, and asked.

"Sent by the heavens!"

Mrs. Zeng laughed heartily.

You sit at home, and a wild boar is delivered to your door.

If this wasn’t sent by the heavens, it would be akin to seeing a ghost.

Old Yuan and Yuan Pandi, walking behind, heard the children’s screams and quickened their pace to return.

They too were surprised by the big wild boar in the yard.

Once they knew the wild boar had delivered itself, everyone was in a daze.

"Goodness, this wild boar even delivers itself!"

Yuan Zhaodi muttered, his gaze involuntarily turning to his precious daughter.

Noticing her father’s gaze, Yuan Bao knew he had once again attributed this unexpected fortune to her.

Yuan Bao was no longer interested in arguing!

As a transmigrator, it was only natural for her to bring a little luck.

Such a large wild boar, to store it long-term in the early summer, would need to be made into smoked meat.

As for selling it for cash?

Very impractical!

The Yuan Family was in a crucial period of clearing land, so to have enough strength to work, they definitely needed to eat well.

They couldn’t sell the wild boar and then spend even more money buying domestic pork, could they?

If they did that, it would truly be foolish.

Evidently, the Yuan Family was not foolish.

Because of this unexpected wild boar delivery, after lunch, the family stayed home to process the wild boar rather than go back to the mountain.

To slaughter the pig, the white knife goes in, the red knife comes out.

The knife was wielded by Old Yuan, whose skill was sharp, killing with one blow.

The pig’s blood was collected, made into blood pudding, and cooked with vegetables in a pot for a delicious dish.

Then came the handling of the pig’s offal!

Lastly, it was the pig’s meat and bones.

...

The Yuan Family was truly busy throughout the afternoon.

Despite their efforts, they eventually sold half of the wild boar.

When villagers came asking for a couple of pounds of meat, Old Yuan naturally did not refuse.

As newcomers, it’s always good to have some engagement with the villagers.

Of course, those who came to buy meat were quite discreet and did not spread the news widely. Everyone who came just bought a pound, not much.

Yet, this process allowed the Yuan Family to successfully make a name for themselves in Shiqu Village.

As for the miraculous tale of the wild boar delivering itself to the Yuan Family, it spread through Shiqu Village with lightning speed, even reaching neighboring villages.

By this time, the Yuan Family had gained a hint of fame outside Sanchuan City.

With fame, what else could be far behind?
