C11 - Gifting Meat

Xiong Ye also joined the group of people who were all waiting for their share of meat.

The Pentaceratops meat had already been rinsed clean and chopped into pieces. Everyone had cooperated together to hunt the Pentaceratops, and there wasn’t a great difference between those who had contributed more or those who had done less, so the amount of meat that the people from the hunting team received was basically the same.

However, Xiong He had carefully watched everything that went on during the hunt, and so, he gave those who had worked harder a better piece of meat. For example, when it was Xiong Ye’s turn, he gave him quite a large piece of liver.

Everyone was happy, and they celebrated as though it was a festival day because they had all been given a lot of meat today!

Pentaceratops weighed over five tons, and after removing the bones and skin, there was still at least three thousand kilograms of meat that could be distributed. Their tribe had a total of over four hundred people, several dozen of whom had gone out to trade for salt. Only a hundred or so people had participated in the hunt…

As a member of the hunting team, Xiong Ye received about twenty kilograms of meat, and the other hunters also received about the same amount. Even the elderly and children in the tribe were given five kilograms of meat each.

Not to mention that there was still bone soup to drink!

There were several large stone pots in the tribe that were used to boil soup. These stone pots were the tribe’s treasures, and they cherished them greatly. Although according to the words of the previous priest, there were better pots made of clay in other places, the people of the Big Bear Tribe had always believed that their own pots were the best.

Stone pots were better than clay pots, right?

At the moment, the bones had been boiled in the pots along with some of the viscera that had a stronger flavor and was unpopular with the people of the tribe–Beastmen liked to eat the liver and heart as well as the fat from their prey’s belly, but didn’t like to eat intestines and the like. Even so, nobody would let it go to waste.

Other than a variety of leftover ingredients, the bone soup also had some wild vegetables tossed in and while it tasted a little strange, it was still a rare feast for the people of the tribe.

The elderly and weak people of the tribe saved up their meat and happily went to drink the soup and eat wild vegetables.

Xiong Ye didn’t go over to drink the soup. He went to roast his meat in silence instead.

They had caught a big one today, and everyone was particularly happy, but he felt that he was a little out of sync with it all.

He hadn’t spent the entire winter hibernating; he had just slept a lot more than usual, and during that winter period, in the times when he was caught in that liminal space between sleep and awareness, he had constantly mused about what his future life would be like.

He imagined the life that he would have once he and Shi Li lived together–after he became mates with Shi Li, he would no longer be alone when he returned home. He could go hunting with Shi Li, and they would eat and sleep together every day.

He had thought that it would be so wonderful, but now…

Xiong Ye tore off a chunk from the meat he was roasting and stuffed it into his mouth.

His animal form was relatively big, and his appetite was also quite sizable–he ate at least two to three kilograms of meat every day and would usually eat around five kilograms. When there was enough food around, he could easily eat even ten kilograms or more.
