Unexpectedly, the fastest-selling items were beef blood, beef offal, and beef bones. They were all sold out as soon as they arrived.

Next were the beef ribs and lard, which were relatively more expensive and had more normal oil.

In the end, only the shoulder and hip of the cow were left, which weighed about 60 kilograms.

The couple looked at each other and cut 20 pounds of meat. They sent ten to their old house and ten to the patriarch. Two pounds were given to each of the Tian and w.a.n.g families, and they carried the remaining home.

After arriving home, Zhou Ying stewed all the meat, leaving a few pieces for dinner, and the rest was made into beef jerky.

Two days later, when the work in the field was almost done, the village chief specially organized a group of people to gather all the dead animals in the mountains.

Especially where Gu Chengrui pointed out, they had to search the area near the starting point of the river.

Two days later, they found many small animals’ corpses and lit them all on fire.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for Manager Liu to set off. After he set off with batches of sweet potato seedlings, Zhou Ying found Sun Hongliang and asked him to help Chang Shun manage the manor.

She saw Gu Chengrui and Zhou Huaiming—who had lost a lot of weight and dressed in rags—sitting together, drinking tea and eating beef jerky when she returned from the manor.

“When did Brother Zhou come over?”

“I arrived in Yunhe County last night and came here early this morning. I craved your cooking so much that 1 just had to come here.”

“What would you like to have for lunch?”

“I brought 20 pounds of rice, 2 pounds of salt, and some salted fish with me. Do as you see fit with them.”

“Salt?”

“That’s right. Brother Zhou brought a lot of salt for our Yunhe County.” Gu Chengrui said.

“That’s great news. You guys continue while I’m going to cook.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she went to the kitchen.

After looking around, she cooked stewed beef, steamed mashed garlic with dried eggplant, and salted fish steamed in chili sauce.

She also prepared a plate of dried meat stir-fried with green garlic, a plate of stir-fried bok choy, and a plate of white sweet potato vine salad.

The three of them ate until they were full, devouring all the lovely food.

Zhou Huaiming even burped a few times as he said, “To be honest, I can only have a decent meal in your house nowadays.”

“You’re exaggerating. Let’s not talk about the taste. With your status, it’s easy for you to enjoy a sumptuous meal.” Gu Chengrui was stunned before replying.

Zhou Huaiming shook his head tiredly and said, “Not really. You’re guarding the mountains here and barely go out, so you might not know of the situation out there. Now, there are many places where you don’t even have tree bark to eat.

“There were even cases of offspring being eaten.

“Even the situation in the capital isn’t optimistic. The Emperor only has one meat, one vegetable, and one soup for every meal these days.”

“It’s that serious?” Gu Chengrui asked in disbelief.

After Zhou Ying heard this, she felt a chill run down her spine. Just thinking about children being eaten made her break out in a cold sweat.

“There’s nothing we can do about it. Many people can’t buy food even if they have the silver.” Zhou Huaiming affirmed their disbelief.

After that, he yawned and stood up. “I won’t bother you two anymore. There’s just one more thing, which is that I would like to stay in your manor for two days. I’ll leave after all the white potato seedlings are planted.”

“Brother Zhou, do stay if you don’t mind the others there. We can have lunch together every day if you have the time.” Zhou Ying offered with a smile.

“I thought you’d never offer. All right, I’ll head over first.” Zhou Huaiming laughed.

“I’ll send you there.”

“No, it’s safer for me to go alone.” Zhou Huaiming got up, stretched, and walked out after that.

However, the couple still sent him out.

After that, the two of them looked at each other with heavy hearts. The situation outside was becoming more serious, and they didn’t know how long their peaceful lives would last..
