Chapter 34: Brave Bull, How Fragrant

After a long night, Zhang Bei was exhausted. He fell asleep as soon as he hit the bed. He slept until dawn. The sun shone on his face, and it was warm. The feathers of the little yellow chick tickled his face and he woke up immediately.

He stretched and rinsed his mouth with salt water before drinking a few mouthfuls of it. He felt much more awake.

He took out a slice of bread from the storeroom and put sausage and some coconut powder on it. Then, he placed it on the fire that he had lit last night and heated the bread.

About five to six minutes later, he took out the steaming hot bread and finished it in a few mouthfuls. He was still a little hungry. He took another piece of bread from the storeroom, threw half to the little yellow chick, and devoured the other half.

Zhang Bei patted his stomach that was full, and drank half a bottle of water. He picked up a piece of snake skin and wrapped it around his body. He was afraid that the bull’s blood would splash on him. At this moment, there was no way he could wash his clothes.

Zhang Bei held the largest bone cleaver and first cut off the legs, hooves, tails, and other parts of the bull.

Then, it was the slightly smaller knife that slowly peeled off the bull’s skin. Because the bull’s skin was very hard to peel, Zhang Bei used a large pot to boil water and poured it on the bull. The entire bull skin was peeled off easily.

Zhang Bei was delighted when he saw this piece of hide. This was a large hide with a 4 square meter size. This hide would be very useful. It could be used as a bed, to block the rain, to eat, and to sew shoes and clothes.

He dealt with the fur on the hide and placed it on the thorny brambles to let it sundry.

After dealing with the hide, it was time to deal with the meat. Zhang Bei cut open the entire bull from the middle and took out the ribs and some bones. He then took out the liver, the bull’s heart, tail, and other internal organs, and put them in a large pot.

The bull’s tripe was taken out as well, this was a good thing. Wasn’t it used in the hotpot restaurant? And the intestines and other internal organs were also placed aside.

Zhang Bei divided the beef into different parts. He cut the beef brisket into pieces and wrapped them in snake skin before putting them in the fridge.

As for the bull head, Zhang Bei dealt with its eyeballs first. Then, he used the military shovel to knock the horns off the head.

Zhang Bei held the one-meter-long bull horns and looked at the sharpest part of it. He touched it with his hand and found that it was quite sharp. He placed them to the side.

Then, he used a small knife to shave off the meat on the bull’s head and put it in a small pot. Zhang Bei was very serious. He didn’t want to waste any meat. He slowly shaved the head and spent nearly two hours removing all the meat on the bull’s head.

As for this large skull, Zhang Bei casually hung it on a hard bramble, waiting for the sun to dry it and use it as a small stool.

The bones on the bull’s legs were the hardest part of the entire bull. Zhang Bei removed the bones and tied the hard ribs on them.

Coincidentally, the four legs and the ribs were intact. Zhang Bei tore off a piece of bullhide and used it to tie the ribs and four legs together, forming a small table.

Zhang Bei looked at the bone table and felt very happy. Then, he placed the table under the sun, washed it with water, and dried it under the sun. He thought, “Can’t I use it tonight?”

After dealing with these things, he saw that the sun was already at its hottest. He wrapped the hooves and tail casually and placed them in the corner of the tent. He planned to have a casual meal now and have a feast at night after dealing with the tail and hooves.

He entered the storeroom. It was still the same three: instant noodles, sausage, and bread.

He put the instant noodles in the hot water. The fragrance of instant noodles filled the entire tent. The little yellow chick came over noisily. Zhang Bei put some noodles in its small bowl while he ate from the hot kettle.

After eating and drinking his fill, he lay on the hammock outside. Before taking a nap, he wanted to see if there was anything good in the Exchange Platform. Suddenly, Zhang Bei saw something that delighted him.

Zhang Bei quickly sent the message. “Hello, do you still have it?”

The other party replied after 5-6 minutes. “Yes.”

“What are you trading it for?” Zhang Bei asked.

The other party hesitated. “How much do you plan to give?”

Zhang Bei thought for a while. “Two days worth of food. Deal?”

Ten minutes later, the other party sent an exchange request. Zhang Bei confirmed it and a bag appeared beside him.

Zhang Bei opened it and took a deep breath. A satisfied smile appeared on his face. He took a closer look, they were chili peppers.

He first took out a few chili peppers and planted them in the pots in the greenhouse. He poured some diluted growth agent on them, and soon the chili peppers grew, and many red peppers formed on the branches..
