The Hunter’s Lively Wife

Chapter 31: Chapter 31 Unaware of the Good

After washing her hands clean, Su Yunjin found a knife and used it to slice the blood in the wooden basin into uniformly sized chunks for later use.

She scrubbed the pot, then added a large pot of water to it, and heated it on high until it boiled; she proceeded to pour the congealed pig blood into the hot water to cook.

After cooking for a while, Su Yunjin used a pair of chopsticks to pinch one and saw that the color inside the blood chunk was consistent with the outside, then she quickly fished all the pig blood out of the pot and soaked it in the cool water she had prepared.

Pig blood treated this way is not only easy to keep but also doesn’t break apart easily when cooked at any time.

“Yunjin!” Gu Ya’s voice came from outside the kitchen, and Su Yunjin, who was scooping the pig blood from the pot, looked back instinctively, only to see Gu Ya returning from hunting in the mountains.

Gu Ya was carrying two fish, a big one and a small one, in his hands. Today, although he hadn’t caught any game in the mountains, he was lucky enough to catch two fish in the river on his way down.

As soon as he got back, Gu Ya had stored his bow and arrows away in the woodshed. Su Yunjin had no idea that Gu Ya had gone hunting in the mountains this morning. Seeing him holding two lively fish, Su Yunjin asked casually while staring at them, “Where did you get these fish?”

“I caught them in the river,” Gu Ya said.

Su Yunjin looked at Gu Ya with disbelief, her face filled with doubt, “You caught them?” Gu Ya was lame, and the fish in the river were slippery and elusive—could Gu Ya really have caught them?

“What, you think I couldn’t catch them?” Gu Ya asked in response. As he spoke, he found a wooden barrel in the kitchen, put one of the fish in it to keep it for a couple of days, and decided to eat the big one today.

Su Yunjin indeed thought that Gu Ya couldn’t catch fish; what she didn’t know was that aside from being good at hunting, Gu Ya was also adept at catching fish. Even though his leg was crippled, his skill at fish catching remained.

Indeed, the two fish had been caught by Gu Ya in the mountain river.

After scraping off the scales and opening up the belly, Gu Ya swiftly and deftly prepared the big fish. While Gu Ya was dealing with the fish, Su Yunjin was not idle either, as she continued working on her pork blood.

Looking up, Gu Ya noticed his wife’s hands were stained with blood and, thinking she had injured her hands, his expression darkened. He hurried over and grabbed Su Yunjin’s hands to examine them, “Yunjin, what happened to your hands?”

Seeing Gu Ya’s worried expression, Su Yunjin laughed and pointed to the wooden basin in front of her, filled with pig blood, and said to Gu Ya, “I’m fine! Look, it’s just pig blood on my hands.”

“Pig blood?” Gu Ya raised an eyebrow. He hadn’t noticed before, but now he belatedly discovered that in front of his wife was a basin filled with red chunks resembling tofu, which were obviously all pig blood.

In Gu Family Village, nobody ever wanted pig blood, let alone ate it.

Seeing his wife handling a basin of pig blood on the stove, Gu Ya was especially puzzled, “Yunjin, what are you doing with so much pig blood?”

“Of course, to eat it,” said Su Yunjin, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Gu Ya’s handsome face instantly froze, “Yunjin, you want to eat pig blood?”

Su Yunjin nodded, “Yeah!” If she wasn’t going to eat it, then what was it for?

Gu Ya’s expression was peculiar, and his eyes filled with disbelief as he stared at Su Yunjin, “How can you eat pig blood? Yunjin, don’t be silly! Please, just don’t eat it!”

Ignorant!

How could such a good thing as pig blood not be eaten?

It would truly be a waste not to eat it.
