Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Discussing Marriage Affairs in the Boudoir, a Wine Banquet Hides Schemes (4)_1

Watching Little Flower, who was even more tame and clingy than a dog, Lin Yong took a deep breath, "That’s a good one."

Little Flower gave Lin Yong a haughty glance, as if to say, ’you’re smart,’ and then squinted, enjoying the caresses from Mo Yan.

Lin Yong couldn’t help but laugh silently, looking enviously at Mo Yan, to think that he could make such a wild and unruly wolf so obedient, there probably wasn’t a second person in all of Great Chu who could do the same.

Hot water from the kitchen kept being brought into the yard, and Lin Yong was quick on his feet. Along with the help of Mo Qingze and others, the pile of wild game was cleaned up in no time that afternoon.

As for the pelts of these animals, apart from a few bite holes around the necks, the rest was in excellent condition. Mo Yan thought about curing these hides to make coats for the family when the weather turned cold, as winters in the North were still very chilly.

Lin Yong knew how to cure hides and volunteered for the task, hoping only that Mo Yan would lend him Little Flower for a day.

"You’ll have to ask her; she has to be willing," Mo Yan rarely forced Little Flower, usually restraining her only to prevent her from doing mischief.

Lin Yong was taken aback but earnestly put the question to Little Flower.

Maybe because she found Lin Yong agreeable, Little Flower did not think twice and agreed. As for how she agreed... she pawed at Lin Yong’s foot and then... peed on it.

Although August wasn’t as hot as June, if all this meat was left out in the open, it would spoil by the next night.

After salting the game, Mo Yan and others helped carry it down to the cool cellar. The cellar was built under the main house and was dug by a friend of Master Lv who was skilled in such work after the house was finished. It was not small, nearly fifty square meters in area.

That evening, Mo Yan personally cooked a meal for Lin Yong, preparing a rich and delicious feast of wild game using various cooking methods including frying, stewing, and roasting.

Lin Yong had tasted Mo Yan’s cooking before, but he’d never had wild game that typically had a strong gamey taste prepared so deliciously; he simply couldn’t stop eating.

Mo Yan and others also ate quite a bit, especially Zhenzhen, who, in order to eat more, refused to eat his meal. After being sternly scolded by Mo Qingze, he reluctantly picked up his rice bowl. Nevertheless, that night he suffered from indigestion, rolling around in pain with a bloated belly.

The family was in a state of panic, but eventually, Lixiu came up with a folk remedy, pouring pepper water into him to settle the gas in his stomach before he finally calmed down.

Mo Qingze was both distressed and angry, and after a good, stern educational lesson, he let it be.

By this time, dawn was almost breaking. Seeing that Zhenzhen was all right, everyone hurried back to catch up on some sleep—after all, they had to rise early today!

As dawn began to break, Aunt Cai, Xiong’s, Mrs. Zhou, and seven or eight other women came over to help. They even brought their own knives and cutting boards from home. Upon learning that the ingredients were all stored in the kitchen pantry, they started washing and chopping without needing anyone to direct them.

Mo Yan and the others did not idle either, taking out a portion of the game from the cellar. There was so much game that even preparing twenty or thirty banquet tables wouldn’t use it all up, especially since these were large animals, and one of each kind was enough.

The majority of what was left would be given away later as gifts to those with close relations.

Cai’s Family and the others marveled at the variety of wild game, a few of which they had never even seen before, and they were momentarily speechless with their mouths agape.

Having so many rare and exotic kinds of game appear on the feast table at once was extremely prestigious. If one were to calculate by the standards of restaurants, each table would cost no less than ten taels of silver. For twenty or thirty tables, that would amount to several hundred taels in total!

The women chatted excitedly among themselves; they hadn’t seen a household more generous than the Mo Family in all their years. Though other families provided meat and eggs for celebrations, those were usually allocated per headcount, and it was rare to see such an abundance of offerings all at once.
