Chapter 189 Bear Paw Assistance, Qi Refining Level 2
Everyone watched as the large black bear was unloaded at the location designated by the officials.
Lord Zhu glanced at the crowd, staring at the carcass of the black bear, rubbing his hands together, a smile never leaving his face.
It really is a black bear!
In this cold weather, this black bear skin must be very warm. If it were laid out in his luxurious carriage, it would be incredibly warm. It's unimaginable.
Lord Zhu smiled, walked up to the black bear, stroked its fur, and kept saying, "Good, really good."
With that look of obvious affection, who wouldn't notice?
Wenwen raised an eyebrow, looking innocent and naive, and said with a hint of smug satisfaction, "Lord Zhu, I've never eaten bear paw before. Can my family have one?"
Lord Zhu was imagining the imposing presence of wearing a bearskin when he was suddenly interrupted by a child's voice.
As the saying goes, one shouldn't hit a smiling face, especially since this is a little girl. For the sake of the bear skin, he agreed, "Alright, one bear paw is yours, and the rest of the meat will be distributed according to custom."
As soon as Lord Zhu finished speaking, Ye Jingchuan hurriedly asked, "Sir, can I have the bear gall? I'll make up for the lost money for everyone."
No one objected to the allocation of the big black bear.
Who would be foolish enough to refuse meat and money that comes without any effort?
So, a group of people gathered around to watch the black bear being dealt with.
The yamen runners and the kitchen staff personally took up knives, first skinning the black bear completely and handing it over to Yang, the yamen runner, for processing. Then they cut off a bear paw and gave it to the Wen family, along with the bear gall bladder. Finally, they cut the black bear meat.
Pieces of plump, thick, and oily black bear meat were laid out before everyone.
The fastest runners, while watching the meat being cut, vividly recounted the Wen family's great achievements to the others.
"Hey, you didn't see it. When the black bear stood up, it was more than two meters tall. It pounced on the girl from the Wen family. We were all terrified. We saw her take a few steps back, catch a flying knife, and throw it away quickly and accurately. The knife pierced the black bear's eye."
"And then there's Wen Jiang, oh no, Master Wen. Just as the black bear's paw was about to slap the Wen family girl across the face, Master Wen darted forward and slashed at the black bear's other eye. Wow, that was incredibly fast; I didn't even have time to react."
"To be honest, the scene was quite spectacular. Later, the entire Wen family rushed forward, and soon... the black bear fell to the ground."
The shock on everyone's faces and in their hearts was intriguing.
Good heavens! Before they were exiled, even though they were rich and wealthy, they might not have been able to eat such fresh black bear meat.
Now that he's fallen on hard times and exiled, thanks to Zhan Wen's family, he's actually eating fresh black bear meat. This can be considered reaching the pinnacle of life. Haha, where can you even complain about this?
Before they finished speaking, the meat had been divided up.
According to the headcount, everyone gets a share. Since the Wen family contributed more labor, no one objected to them receiving a larger share of the bear meat.
Each family took their own meat and cooked it however they pleased.
Since we're out of dry rations, meat tonight is a good alternative.
Lord Zhu simply ate the meat and drank the soup, while the prepared bear skin was stretched out and hung to dry on the roof of the carriage.
On the Wen family's side.
For Wenwen, who has a modern soul, her knowledge of roasted bear paw as a delicacy comes entirely from history books she had read before, in which famous people praised bear paw highly.
There was no opportunity before.
Now that the bear paw is right in front of us, we should follow local customs.
She absolutely had to try it.
The Wen family has people with excellent cooking skills, so bear paws and bear meat are no problem for them, not to mention wild pheasants and rabbits.
After the meal was prepared, the family went into the treehouse and the curtain was drawn.
Began to eat.
"Wen'er, the bear paw is ready, try it."
"Okay!"
Taking a bite of the thick, fatty meat, "Mmm, delicious."
Full of collagen, the bear paw has a smooth and elastic texture, and the roasted bear paw has a unique flavor that is unforgettable.
Each member of the family took a small bite; everyone who sees it gets a share.
"Wow, this is so delicious! Sister, isn't it?"
"Sister, this meat melts in your mouth, it's so delicious!"
"Sister, it's delicious, so tasty!"
Even after the children finished eating, they didn't forget to interact with her.
She also thought it was delicious, but it was a pity that such a big black bear only had so little meat on its paws. Oh well, roasted black bear meat is just as delicious.
Everyone in the Wen family was overjoyed at the meal; what was the peak for others was also the peak for the Wen family at that moment!
After the family finished their meal, they would have some fruit as usual and chat for a while.
Wen Chengjian swallowed a bite of apple and said to Wen Qilin, "Father, we found arrow wounds on this bear, and not just one. The wounds are very deep, so it must have been injured recently. That's why it was so angry when it saw us today."
Wen Qilin frowned and said, "This bear probably just escaped from someone else before it met us, and its leg was injured."
Wenwen suddenly asked, "Did the black bear have a companion who was also injured?"
A companion of the black bear?
Most afraid of the air suddenly quiet.
The Wen family was puzzled. Did the black bear have any companions? Who knew? Why did they ask that?
Wen Qilin and Wen Chengjian exchanged glances, and they immediately understood what Wenwen meant.
The father and son witnessed Wenwen's blissful expression as she ate the bear paw.
Hearing her ask this question now, she must be plotting against someone else's companion!
It must be said that Wen Qilin and Wen Chengjian, father and son, understand Wenwen very well, and their understanding at this moment is completely correct!
The father and son took over the conversation, laughing as they spoke.
"We don't know if the black bear has any companions."
"I don't even know if you're injured or not. Otherwise, I'd let you know in advance if we met again."
"Hahaha...Okay!"
The laughter from the Wen family's house mingled with the chatter of everyone outside, filling the valley and echoing for a long, long time.
As night deepened, the sounds outside gradually diminished until they disappeared, and everyone drifted off to sleep.
Those in the Wen family who need rest should rest early, and those with energy and spare capacity can put in even more effort.
Wenwen went to bed early, using the excuse of sleeping to enter the space and make the most of every second.
Now she studies, meditates, and cultivates herself all in the small courtyard, and the meditation cushion has long been moved to a corner of the stairs in the inner room.
As usual, I entered the inner room and immediately sat down to meditate.
She quickly entered a meditative state, and the spiritual energy of the space poured into the inner room, slowly gathering around her.
Now, Wenwen is already very familiar with the process of absorbing spiritual energy and storing it as her own spiritual power.
Wenwen felt that she had absorbed too much spiritual energy today. In the past, this amount would have already caused her meridians to ache, but today's amount was much, much greater than usual, and her meridians did not react at all.
They come, the security.
Now that our resilience has improved, let's continue to absorb and transform.
Wenwen continued to absorb spiritual energy, rapidly circulating incantations as she repeatedly regulated her meridians.
The spiritual energy gathered in the inner room gradually formed a huge torrent, which surged into Wenwen's body all at once.
Two days had passed by the time Wenwen finished digesting the spiritual energy; fortunately, time in this space was not the same as outside.
"Phew, Qi Refining Level 2, finally some progress!"
Suddenly, a faint rustling sound reached my ears.
