The family unexpectedly embarked on a spontaneous trip. The couple each took a child and rode their bicycles back home. As soon as Ye Fangfei entered the house, she went to check out the items that Tang Zhicheng had brought back.
Goodness, she thought, her mouth agape at the sight of the half-filled room with goods. "Did you really bring all this back?" Ye Fangfei stammered. Although she had heard about it from Tang Zhicheng before, seeing it with her own eyes was entirely different.
There were seven hundred pounds of beef piled up in one corner. Next to it, stacks of lamb meat were neatly arranged, creating a particularly impressive sight. On the table lay several wool blankets, a roll of felt, and a bag of yarn. There was also a large bag of milk tablets and a small packet of beef jerky.
"I told you before, right? Look at the beef; which cuts should we keep? If ten pounds isn't enough, we can save more," Tang Zhicheng said, surprised by how shocked his wife was.
"How about we keep fifteen pounds? We can't store too much anyway," Ye Fangfei suggested after a moment's thought, adding another five pounds to her initial estimate.
"Alright, it's all up to you. Just decide which cuts we should set aside first. The rest can be taken away by Old Song," Tang Zhicheng replied, always deferring to Ye Fangfei on such matters.
"We need five pounds of shank meat, another five pounds of brisket, and the remaining five pounds should be leg meat. Oh, and don't forget to set aside some tenderloin as well," Ye Fangfei calculated.
"Got it." Tang Zhicheng took out a kitchen knife and began cutting the meat according to her instructions.
"By the way, dear, this bag contains lamb offal. I had the herders clean it up for us," he said, pointing to a nylon bag in the corner. "I thought these would be good too. On a cold day like this, just imagining a bowl of lamb soup makes my mouth water."
Ye Fangfei couldn't help but swallow at the thought of steaming lamb soup. In modern times, she had always enjoyed drinking lamb soup or eating lamb noodle soup.
"Alright, I'll make it later. Perfect timing for us to have lamb noodle soup for dinner," she readily agreed.
The two then discussed various ways to prepare the beef and lamb dishes. After much deliberation, they finally decided to set aside one more leg of lamb. They took all the meat they had reserved and placed it into a large vat outside.
Tang Zhicheng stepped out to find Old Song.
Ye Fangfei took the two children inside, letting them play on the kang. She then gathered the blanket, felt, and yarn, bringing them back into the house. She also took in some milk tablets and beef jerky, saving these items for her family's use.
Once everything was neatly put away, Ye Fangfei went outside to handle the sheep offal. Although Tang Zhicheng had said that the herders had helped clean it up, she felt it was necessary to wash it herself to ensure it was truly clean.
Meanwhile, Tang Zhicheng had found Old Song.
"Hey, you’re back from Inner Mongolia? Come in! What good stuff have you brought this time?" Old Song greeted Tang Zhicheng with a cheerful demeanor.
Last time, when Tang Zhicheng had brought a watch and a sailor shirt, Old Song had made quite a profit from them. So when he saw Tang Zhicheng, it was as if he were looking at a god of wealth—his enthusiasm was unmistakable.
