The villagers at the scene believed that the damage should not be borne by me alone, but by everyone. So after returning home, they vividly shared with their family how much meat Zhang Qingzhu had received and how many of his willful actions had been replaced with bones.

When everyone first heard it, they just sighed and felt a little sad, but they didn't take it to heart. It's just eating less meat, it's okay, it's just this once.

However, they could not resist the deliberate guidance of the team leaders such as Zhang Baoguo and Zhang Xue. From the second day after the meat was distributed, the villagers heard that many families who had received a share of the meat said how many days the meat they received would last, what they would cook, and how many pieces of meat each person had.

This made those families who had not divided their families feel very unbalanced. Even the elderly who usually refused to divide their families felt uncomfortable after hearing the latest news in the village, and they began to have different ideas than before.

After Zhang Qingzhu left, the meat distribution continued. The excitement in the village increased by 10% as people took the meat back. At this time, Zhang Jizhong from the Chinese herbal medicine research team woke up from a nap and went to the toilet. He found that the lights were on in the houses of his neighbors on both sides. He felt something was wrong and went out to take a look.

When he went out, he saw many villagers carrying baskets or backpacks on their backs and walking home. He hid aside and listened to their conversation. Then he learned that the village had caught two wild boars and was dividing the meat. When he heard that there was fresh wild boar meat, Zhang Jizhong hurried back to find Wang Ming and told him about it.

Wang Ming was very angry when he heard Zhang Jizhong say that the village was distributing meat but no one notified them. So he woke up the others and went with him to the place where the meat was distributed in the village. He wanted to find the village leaders to find out why no one notified them when the meat was distributed in the village.

Wang Ming and his team haven't had a good meal since they came to Zhangjiapo Brigade. Most of them who were sent to the Chinese herbal medicine research team came from well-off families.

Otherwise, how could such a good job fall on them? The Chinese herbal medicine research team has high salary and high return. As long as you work here for a period of time, you will have a good resume when you return. Many people want to get in but can't.

For this reason, those who can join the group must have excellent knowledge of medicine, especially herbal medicine, even if they have family connections. Therefore, these people all have good family conditions and live a good life at home.

Even if there are one or two people whose families are not well-off, they are talented in medicine and are taught by their master. They are not treated badly in their master's house and live a good life.

So after arriving at Zhangxuepo Brigade, although they were mentally prepared, they still felt disappointed. But since they were already here, they had no choice but to accept it no matter how unwilling they were.

Moreover, since the people assigned to Wang Ming's group were all young masters and young ladies, they were not good at cooking, so they did not eat very well these days.

After they arrived, they started to pack their luggage and buy some belongings. Before they had finished packing, it rained heavily for several days.

When the rain stopped, the mountain road was very muddy again, and no one wanted to go out to the commune at this time. In addition, no one was well prepared before the rain, so everyone was more or less uncomfortable.

When they heard about fresh pork, they couldn't sit still and hurriedly followed Wang Ming outside, hoping to get some fresh meat to improve their meals.

When Wang Ming and his team arrived at the meat distribution site, all the households in the village had already divided their meat, except for the educated youths in the educated youth camp. The rest were lean meat and meatless bones that the villagers didn't like very much. As for the ribs, one was given to one family and two to another.

These were selected by the villagers who planned to try out Zhang Qingzhu's recipe at home. Anyway, it was only a few ounces of meat at most. They could still afford to lose one or two pieces.

If the soup doesn't taste good, there's still some meat on the bones so it's not a big loss. If the soup tastes good, then they'll make a fortune. These bosses are very clear about these small calculations and won't let themselves lose money.

After Wang Ming and his team arrived, because there were not many people left, Wang Ming quickly found Zhang Xue and Zhang Baoguo. On the way here, Wang Ming's mood quickly calmed down.

As a person who could become a small leader, Wang Ming was very capable. After meeting Zhang Xue and Zhang Baoguo, he did not immediately ask why no one informed them about the meat distribution in the village

Instead, he asked Zhang Baoguo and Zhang Xuedao: "Hello, Secretary Zhang, Team Leader Zhang, why is meat being distributed in our village so late at night? If a comrade from our group hadn't gotten up to go to the toilet, we wouldn't have known that meat was being distributed in the village."

Zhang Baoguo and Zhang Xue exchanged glances after hearing this, and then Zhang Baoguo said, "Some villagers discovered that a wild boar had come down the mountain, so all the men in every household got up and went to hunt the wild boar. Don't you know about this?"

Zhang Xue also said, "Yes, because the situation was extremely critical at the time, I rang the village bell. Didn't you hear it?"

Zhang Baoguo continued, "Thanks to everyone's efforts, we successfully hunted down two wild boars. In order to reward everyone for their efforts in the collective safety, our leadership team discussed and decided to divide the boar meat."

Zhang Xue continued, "When we were carrying the wild boar down the mountain, we had someone notify each household in the village to distribute the meat. Didn't you hear the notification?"

Without giving Wang Ming a chance to speak, Zhang Baoguo continued, "Actually, it's okay if you didn't hear it and didn't come. After all, you don't belong to our village and don't participate in the village's meat distribution."

Wang Ming listened to Zhang Baoguo and Zhang Xue talking to each other and realized that there was no share of meat for their Chinese herbal medicine research group.

The group of people who followed Wang Ming also understood. This won't do. We are not eligible for a share of the meat. We can exchange it with money or other things. As long as we can eat fresh meat, there is nothing wrong with that.

At this time, Wang Ming and his men no longer cared that no one had informed them. Didn't they hear what Captain Zhang said? He had rung the bell to call for help. The villagers all listened to the bell and actively participated.

They listened to the bell and pretended not to hear it, and did not come out. If anyone should blame others, they should blame themselves for hearing the bell and thinking it was a village matter that had nothing to do with them, so they did not pay attention to what was happening outside.

If they had heard the bell and got up to take a look, they would not know what happened afterwards. It was their own problem and they could not blame others.

The most important thing now is to get some meat to eat, and everything else is trivial. Thinking of this, they all looked at the team leader Wang Ming
