Chapter 724: Chapter 362: Killing So Many Cows_1

It was late at night and the sky was a bit cloudy, with only a few sparse stars twinkling overhead.

By the river at the cattle farm, everything around was shrouded in darkness, save for a single large light bulb illuminating a vast open field.

A few shadowy figures bustled about. A cow was led over, became restless upon seeing the scene, let out a couple of agitated moans, was taken down on the ground, and its eyes gradually lost their luster as it awaited the end of its destiny.

Piles of red meat topped the ground, along with pale-white fascia under the lamplight, a large pile of colorful beef offal on the side, several big basins filled with reddish-purple cow’s blood, and patches of dark purple bloodstains that had dripped onto the ground. In-between the trees nearby, ropes were stretched, with several freshly skinned hides swaying gently in the river breeze.

The most bone-chilling scene was the sight of several skinned bovine heads, white with streaks of blood, arranged neatly as if for a macabre joke. The big cow eyes seemed to stare at you, unblinking from every angle. This whole scene under the lamp light, with the constant swaying shadows of people and trees, was sure to make anyone’s skin crawl.

"Old Gao, you’re slaughtering so many cows at once, won’t they turn into ghosts and come after you?" jested one harum-scarum, deliberately stirring up mischief. "Isn’t the ox-head in Ox-Head and Horse-Face the ghost of a dead cow? Being soaked in blood as you are, they won’t spare you even after they’re dead, I reckon!"

Old Gao took a glance at the talkative Heizi, then he gave a cold, mirthless laugh, "You’re getting married soon, so I won’t bug you."

Actually, Yan Fei and Old Gao took turns doing the job. After the slaughter, they would skin the cattle. When it came to expertly wielding a knife and skinning, only Yan Fei, Old Gao, and the mute were competent among them. The others were inept, looking completely clueless at such tasks.

Seeing that Heizi still wanted to say something, Yan Fei advised him, "The dawn is breaking and you’ll be getting married. Why don’t you go and have some sleep? You’ll have a long day ahead. Do you think you’ll be able to keep up if you don’t rest?"

Wearing rubber boots and long rubber gloves, Heizi was feeling around in the pile of offal. "Nope, I’m not going. Maybe I’m lucky today and could find a bezoar!"

Pang Fa chuckled at the side, "Don’t bother Yan, Heizi. He knows he won’t see any red on his wedding night, so he’s trying to see more blood tonight!"

This vulgar joke was met with boisterous laughter and swearing from Heizi, with everyone else joining in with their strange laughs, making the place echo with eerie noises. If an outsider were to witness this scene and these group of men’s wanton behavior, they would surely piss their pants out of fear— with a barrel cut in half and a huge fire lit in it, the scene would be nothing less than a crazy butchery party...

The feeling of slaughtering one cow is wholly different from that of slaughtering ten. Amongst all, only Yan Fei was calm. After all, a single T-rex is way bigger than these cows. Even stalwart people like Old Gao were feeling somewhat squeamish now.

However, young people would rather die than admit their fears. As such, everyone was just letting loose, cracking audacious jokes to warm the atmosphere and dispel their inner discomforts.

The mute guy was also present, but this bunch of rascals would bully him as they pleased because he couldn’t hear anyway. The mute guy was supposed to go home, but being earnest, he insisted on staying knowing they would be busy this night. Nobody could do anything to change his mind. Of course, his sister had gone home the day before. It would be inappropriate for her, the bride, to stay here.

This is where Boss Yan revealed his ’goodheartedness’ or ’sinister motives’. The gang of robust young men ate well and drank medicinal wine every day. One person could do the work of several, being energetic in daytime work and occasionally staying up at night.

After toiling for the whole night, they finally finished their tasks.

Next, they had to weigh the regular beef, load it onto a truck, and transport it. That’s why Pang Fa had been waiting all night. He had to deliver the beef early in the morning. It was still early and the butchers at the beef shop hadn’t yet started work. Although pre-arrangements had been made, if the delivery arrived late, they would not wait. No one would delay their business just to secure some cheaper beef.

Pang Fa didn’t even bother to bring his little three-wheeler, as it could hardly carry much beef. There were more than two tons of meat in total. While the vehicle was capacious enough, it was too filled with so much beef, not to mention the other offal and bones. He had no choice but to ask Old Ou to make a trip in his big truck to help deliver the beef.

In the county, they only contacted Fifth Brother’s beef shop for convenience. Other restaurants didn’t require as much beef, and many of them bought beef from his shop anyway. So, contacting him was enough.

In the city, they did get in touch with several people, but none of the arrangements were confirmed. This was their first time dealing, and naturally, nobody would put all their business in the hands of unfamiliar people. They must have backup plans.

Yan Fei assured them that any unsold beef could be taken back. Worst-case scenario, it could be processed into preserved meat. After all, selling high-quality beef is profitable. So, selling these meat pieces at a minor loss didn’t matter much—everyone knows that once they have established the market in the city, there will be no loss. This is Wan City, beef shops are everywhere, some have even been passed down for decades. Experienced chefs can tell the quality of beef just by one look. Selling good stuff is never an issue.
