Exile with Storage Space: Family Fortunes in the Barren Lands Chapter 29 - 029: This Is What You Deserve

"You’re really not afraid?" Li Xing’an was quite surprised.

Li Yuzhu urged, "Co on, hurry up, I can barely hold the leopard down!"

Li Xing’an panicked, "Alright, alright, I’m coming!"

The knife went up and ca down, and the leopard was bled and completely stopped moving.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief together.

Bleeding it was easy, but skinning it was hard; none of the brothers had done this before.

Li Yuzhu took the knife from Li Xing’an, "Let do it."

The trio looked at her in surprise, "Little sister? You know how to skin a leopard?"

"I can peel an egg, isn’t it the sa principle?"

"No, it’s not!" the three of them answered in unison.

"I think it’s about the sa." Li Yuzhu held the knife, gestured a few tis, and began to skin the leopard.

In her view, a kitchen knife, carving knife, and scalpel were used in similar ways.

Li Yuzhu skinned it quickly and neatly, soon taking off the leopard’s skin.

This piece of skin was a good item, she planned to make clothes for the two kids in the future. Li Yuzhu hung the skin over a small tree to dry.

She handed the knife back to the third brother, Li Xing’an, "Third brother, next is the at distribution. Give half to our neighbor first, that’s his share, then cut it into small chunks for roasting."

ntioning roasting at, Li Xing’an got excited again.

"Alright, watch ." He rolled up his sleeves, imitating the butcher, and began dividing the at.

The shapes were not pretty, but at least they were separated.

Giving away the at was a challenge because Mu Yuanxiu’s temper was so eccentric.

The princely heir volunteered, "I’ll go, I’ll speak with him properly."

The at was too heavy, so both the princely heir and second young master went together.

One to deliver the at, the other to return the knife.

Li Yuzhu and Li Xing’an were busy sorting the small pieces of at.

Li Xing’an looked at the large pile of at on the stone and frowned, "Little sister, there’s so much leopard at, we can’t finish it in one day, it’ll spoil in a few days, what should we do?"

Li Yuzhu had already thought this through.

"Cure it with salt and dry it out, turn it into jerky so it won’t spoil. The weather isn’t too hot yet, we can still make jerky," Li Yuzhu said.

Li Xing’an praised, "Little sister, you’re smart! But that will need a lot of salt, right? Where can we buy it at this mont?"

Earlier that day, Li Yuzhu had asked the village chief, the nearest market was fifteen to sixteen miles away, and going there was clearly too late, besides, she had no money.

"After noon, third brother and I can go to the village, we can trade so at for supplies." Li Yuzhu pointed at the pile of leopard at, "Take half of it to exchange for daily necessities."

Because of the distance, so slightly wealthier families would buy large amounts of daily necessities after visiting the market, stocking up for gradual use.

Li Xing’an laughed, "That’s a great idea."

The siblings shared their plan with Prince Luling, and he didn’t object.

.

After the second young master left, Mu Yuanxiu had repaired the fence, and seeing that the hour was about right, he went into the small kitchen to make lunch.

Mu Yuanxiu was just about to light the firewood in the stove when soone called from outside, "Neighbor? Is the neighbor ho?"

Mu Yuanxiu had to go out.

"I’ve co to return the knife." The second young master handed over the knife upon seeing him.

The princely heir raised the large chunk of leopard at he was holding, "Neighbor, this is your share."

Mu Yuanxiu said, "The leopard was captured by you guys, it’s yours."

The second young master hung the leopard at on the fence post, "Hey, neighbor, you must take this at, otherwise others might think we’re bullying the weak and taking advantage of the small."
