By the time Zhao Jun got home, Wang Meilan and the others were almost done skinning the four jackals.
The two male jackals weighed around forty pounds each, but after being skinned, the meat and bone left on each was less than thirty pounds.
The Jackal King was bigger, but Black Tiger had eaten a good chunk of it. After skinning what was left, it weighed about the same as the other males—only twenty-five or twenty-six pounds.
As for the female jackal, once skinned, it was less than twenty pounds. There was only a little meat on the breast, thighs, belly, loin, and neck.
The two male jackals were both whole, so Wang Meilan gave one to Zhang Yuanmin and the other to Jin Xiaomei.
As for the Jackal King, which was missing its belly meat, and the female jackal, she kept those for her own family to eat.
For lunch, Wang Meilan stir-fried some sliced eggplant and potatoes, serving them with mixed-flour steamed buns. They all had a quick and simple meal.
