Chapter 442 A Pair of Bear Paws

These things were all taken from when Huahua and Fugui were bored in the village back in the countryside. They went up the mountain and wreaked havoc. If they accidentally killed something, they would just bring it home and give it to Bai Nuo.

As she grew up and became more sensible, Bai Nuo naturally accepted all the children who came to support the family and her older sister.

Bai Nuo and Fang Meng wisely refrained from touching the bear paw, intending to bring it back to Master Kang. However, it would be a waste for them to cook it; only a proper imperial chef would do it.

"This, this is a bear's paw!"

A pair of sizable, complete bear paws were placed in a wooden box filled with dry ice and covered with a cotton quilt.

Master Kong carefully checked it and found that it had not spoiled, which relieved him.

He hadn't seen such good food since he left the Wei family, let alone cooked it himself. If it went bad under his nose, he would really be able to sit on the ground and cry.

"Well, I've been living with my dad in the military area since then. The military area is in the suburbs near the mountains. A while ago, we went into the deep mountains and happened to see this black bear fighting with a wild boar. We got a good deal, didn't we? We took care of the rest of the parts. I brought the bear paws here especially for you. This thing can only be of value in your hands."

Two bear paws already took up half of the large basket, along with some dried mushrooms, Northeast wood ear fungus, and other dried goods.

The two children brought their things, and Master Kang didn't refuse anymore. Given the relationship between the two families, it would be pretentious to refuse. Since there were no other customers in the shop today, he quickly asked Kang Baichuan to take his younger siblings inside, while he carried the basket of things to the kitchen, calling out to Bai Nuo as he went.

"You two go inside and rest with your brother Baichuan. I'll go put these things away first. Oh, and Xiao Nuo and Xiao Meng, remember to come over tomorrow. I'll prepare the bear paws, and you two can take them back for your dads and the old man at home to try. That's settled then."

Without waiting for the two children to refuse, Master Kang grabbed the things and ran into the kitchen.

The two children were hungry, so Master Kang didn't cook the things Bai Nuo brought back. After putting everything away, he quickly made a few dishes that Bai Nuo and Fang Meng had loved since they were little.

Kang Baichuan led two people to the innermost room, which was specially prepared by Master Kang for the Wei family. Even though no one from the Wei family had come in the past two years, this room had never been opened to the public except for routine cleaning.

"You two, do you think you can mess with black bears and tigers like that? If you see them in the future, run away as fast as you can, so you don't run into them again." Kang Baichuan said with a smile as he handed out sodas to the two of them.

“Brother Baichuan, you’ve misunderstood. When we heard the noise and ran over, the bear was almost dead, and the wild boars that could still run were all gone. As for the tiger penis and deer penis, we got them from an old mountain man in the countryside. We were just thinking of getting them to Uncle Kang to make wine.”

"That's more like it. My dad has brewed a lot of good wine in the last two years. I'll soak those two things and send them to you for the elders in the family. They're both good for replenishing qi and nourishing the body."

With young girls around, Kang Baichuan was too embarrassed to say the words "aphrodisiac," but those who know, know.

"No way, the food has already been delivered, there's no reason to take it back. And those bear paws, you and Uncle Kang can keep them for us."

The deep mountains and forests surrounding the Seven Waters Brigade are rich in resources, supporting many wild beasts. Hua Hua and Fu Gui'er eat food raised with mountain spring water in their space every day. Not only are they much larger than their kind, but their strength is also several times greater. In order to teach them to control their strength, Bai Nuo and Fang Meng trained them for a long time. Fortunately, the two little devils are intelligent and quick to learn.

This led to him frequently venturing into the deep mountains, wreaking havoc as he went. He particularly liked hunting down domineering, tyrannical, and ferocious beasts that ruled the mountains. Once he killed them, he would bring them home, and Bai Nuo would clean them up and put them in his spatial storage, where they would be kept fresh for a long time.

Kang Baichuan wasn't like that. He had lived in the Wei family's house when he was young and had eaten a lot of good food. Back then, the Wei family was definitely at its peak.

"It's settled then. Don't you know your Uncle Kang? What he enjoys most is the cooking process and the diners' enjoyment. Whether he eats it or not is secondary. There's no need to refuse. Even if you don't come to pick it up tomorrow, I'll still have to make the trip in the end, so it's all the same."

Bai Nuo inquired about the store's business and learned that the crackdown had been strict recently, and the family had received the news last month, which was delivered by the Yu family, so they had closed the store early.

The father and son were just here to clean up the remaining ingredients. They usually live in a small courtyard nearby, which is guarded by someone. As long as they don't open the gate, they don't have to worry about anyone coming to check.

Master Kang served the food very quickly. Bai Nuo and Fang Meng actively fed the Kang family father and son until they were almost burping from the food. In the end, the basket they brought was stuffed full by the Kang family father and son, filled with pastries and snacks that they usually made themselves.

In the end, we agreed to come back tomorrow to pick up the bear paws. Bai Nuo, the father of the two dragons, refused to take them no matter what we said, so we left them for the father and son to eat. We also only took half of the tiger penis and deer penis wine, and will pick them up when they are ready.

After leaving that alley, Bai Nuo and Fang Meng went to the nearby vegetable market. When they returned, there were a few more chickens, ducks, and geese in the car. They were all alive and planned to keep them in the family compound as New Year's gifts for the elders.

When they returned to the family compound, it was already past four in the afternoon. Bai Nuo looked at the piles of New Year's gifts in front of her, which were so piled up that there was almost no room to step in the living room on the first floor. She sighed and looked at Fang Meng pitifully.

"During the Chinese New Year, we'll have to visit several families a day. Our legs will be worn thin from all the running."

Thinking about having to visit so many relatives and friends during the New Year, Bai Nuo curled her lips and said, "I miss my older brother and Brother Fang, as well as my older cousin and cousins ​​from the Zhou family."

In the past, during the Lunar New Year, there were four elders in the family to keep watch. People would come to visit us on their own initiative, and when it came to returning gifts, two of my older brothers, or my cousins ​​from the Zhou family, or my eldest cousin would represent both families to return the gifts.

Everyone knows that the matriarchs of both families have been inseparable since they were young. So after the eldest brother and Fang went to join the army, it was Zhou's cousin or eldest cousin who went to deliver the return gifts and lead the younger generation to pay New Year's visits every year. Bai Nuo just had to quietly follow behind her older brothers and sisters as a silent mascot.

But now, in order to temporarily avoid the limelight, for better development in the future, and for the final victory of their faction, Old Madam Wei and her husband have gone to some secret research institute. The Zhou family has also been transferred to other places one after another. The only ones who can be used in Beijing are Bai Nuo and Fang Meng, the youngest members of the family.

Fang Meng smiled and held the little girl's delicate hand, gently comforting her: "Let's just bear with it for this year. Next spring, your second uncle and aunt will be transferred back. Then, during the next New Year, we can just follow behind them like children."
