Sheep over five months old are actually not quite suitable for consumption. Their bones aren't sturdy enough, and the amount of meat has room for growth.
If it hadn't been for Gadan's mistake, Chen Zhou definitely would have spared its life, waiting until it weighed around a hundred pounds before making a move.
However, since it was impossible to stop the bleeding, not killing the sheep would mean certain death, so he had to set aside his burdens and enjoy the lamb thoroughly.
With skilled technique, he quickly portioned the entire sheep.
After skinning the sheep, he spread the hide out to prepare for tanning.
The sheep's viscera were exceptionally fresh and tender, showing no signs of disease, so he cooked them and fed them to Lai Fu and the increasingly well-behaved Grapes.
The lamb was stewed into a pot of soup, and the remainder was dried into jerky to preserve for a longer period and consume gradually.
