Chapter 144: Chapter 145 Communal Meal_1

It’s not that the world is harsh; it’s just that everyone is busy. Nan Quanyou generally doesn’t have much to offer in terms of help, so he’s gradually been overlooked by the villagers.

But Nan Feng is different. She’s helped everyone, so everyone also helps her. Nobody wants to owe too many favors.

After Nan Feng made sure that Nan Quanyou cooked the rice, she hurriedly grabbed her hunting tools and rushed up the mountain.

With so many people helping her, she needs to treat them all to a meal.

Originally, she didn’t have high expectations, hoping to be satisfied if she could hunt a few wild rabbits. Unexpectedly, she had an incredibly good luck that day and hunted a wild pig in the afternoon.

Nan Feng returned with the pig on her shoulders, instructed Nan Quanyou to prep it, and then sprinted off to the field.

Apart from the people who came in the morning, Nan Feng saw Brother Ye in the field as well. He was also planting the paddies, doing it fast and skillfully with great technique.

Many hands make light work. The task which normally takes one person three or four days to complete was finished before nightfall that day.

Nan Feng addressed everyone at the field, "I am very grateful to everyone for coming to help me plant the paddy today. To show my sincerity, I invite you all to my house for dinner tonight. Everyone must come, there’ll be wild pig meat, both fragrant and tender."

Upon hearing the mention of wild pig meat, everyone was excited.

Someone asked, "Sister Feng, will there be enough for everyone?"

"Yes, definitely enough!"

Another person asked, "Isn’t it too extravagant? Inviting us for dried fish would suffice."

Nan Feng replied, "How could that be? Wild pig meat is wild pig meat. Everyone, please don’t be shy with me, and make sure you come. By the way, Aqiu, Fatty, Sima Auntie, can you all come over and help cook? My dad might not be able to handle it alone. Oh, and we need someone to slaughter the pig quickly..."

As a result, everyone recommended Brother Ye.

Brother Ye washed up at the edge of the paddy and then walked off with Nan Feng.

As they left, some snickers could be heard from behind. Everyone said it was only right that Brother Ye should go.

...

Nan Quanyou had already cooked two pots of rice and was now rinsing the fresh vegetables just picked from the field. Coincidentally, Uncle Zhou also came by to lend a hand.

Nan Quanyou was surprised to see so many people coming to help, but thankfully Sima Auntie with her loud voice took charge: "I heard your family has wild pig meat. Thanks to Feng, we can finally taste it today."

"No, no, we should be thanking you for coming to help. This really means a lot," answered Nan Quanyou.

"..."

Nan Feng started to delegate tasks. She pointed at the wild pig and said, "Brother Ye, could you help me with the pig? Aqiu, please help with washing the vegetables. Fatty, could you start the fire please? Sima Auntie, you..."

Sima Auntie interrupted: "I’ll take care of the cooking, you go and help Brother Ye."

"..."

On the side, Brother Ye had already started to cut the pig meat with his butcher knife. He was proficient and meticulous, and within a short while, a hog leg was chopped off.

Brother Ye then turned to Nan Feng and asked, "Should this pig be cut into pieces entirely?"

After thinking for a moment, Nan Feng said, "Cut half of it into pieces, cook the other half as a roast. I’ll make roast meat for everyone later."

"All right."

"...."

While Nan Feng and Brother Ye were talking, Uncle Zhou and Nan Quanyou exchanged glances again.

Their eyes revealed an indescribable meaning.

...

At that time, Nan Feng began setting up a rack in the yard.

She moved a few stones to stabilize the rack, trimmed three pieces of bamboo to secure the other half of the wild pig on the rack, and then underneath it, ignited pieces of charcoal.
