Chapter 444 The Brainless Young Man Who Supports His Brother 24
With the plan in place, the six people carried it out in full swing. Every day they were either on the mountain or off the mountain. They even prepared dry food for lunch and ate it in the mountains.
Although Wang Dequan didn't know why the few people wanted so many wild products and animals, he worked hard and accumulated a lot of good things in less than a month.
The most valuable one is a ginseng discovered by Wang Dequan. It has two forks at the bottom and is estimated to be three hundred years old.
Chi Zheng also dug up a ginseng, which was smaller and about a hundred years old.
The two Ganoderma lucidums of Zhou Zili and Kang Peng are also not small, and are almost a hundred years old.
Zhuang Xiaoxiao devoted herself to hunting. In addition to pheasants and rabbits, she also hunted wild boars, roe deer and the like.
Xu Tao picked a lot of wild fruits and also found a chestnut forest, but she hasn't picked them yet. She wanted to ask everyone for their opinion and share the location.
The villagers in Qinghe Brigade were all nice, and she discovered a large cave behind the chestnut forest. She could go through it to get to the town, which was safer and faster than traveling by water.
"Of course, no problem. We've already harvested enough. But before we tell the captain, we have to sell the stuff first. Our secret base is not far from the cave and it will be easy to be discovered."
"Then I'll go find someone today. The five of you go tidy up the secret base and deal with the prey."
In order to ensure freshness, Zhuang Xiaoxiao simply incapacitated the wild animals. It was a considerable amount of work to process them all before dusk.
"Taotao, I'll go with you."
"Brother Zheng, we have too much stuff. Please help sort it out first. Don't worry, I've been there many times by myself. It's no problem. I will be back before three o'clock!"
Xu Tao was afraid of being rejected, so he ran away quickly after giving his instructions.
When she arrived in town, she went to the post office and sent a letter to Jiang's father and mother. She felt helpless when she found out that she had money but had not withdrawn it. The Jiang family sent her thirty yuan every month, and no matter what she said, it was useless.
Forget it. I guess I’ll need more next time if I return it. I’ll send her more after I pack up the mountain products and bacon.
After withdrawing the money, she estimated the value of the items. The six thousand yuan she had on her probably wasn't enough. Fortunately, she had exchanged a batch of watches before going to the countryside, otherwise the shortfall would have been even greater.
It was now 9:20 in the morning. If I hurried I should still have time to go to the city. I rushed to the station and saw that there was a train about to depart, so I hurriedly climbed on it.
"Girl, are you alone?"
"Yeah, what's wrong, Auntie?"
"Nothing, just bored and wanted to talk to you. Where are you from, girl? What are you doing in the city? Is there anyone to pick you up?"
Seeing the old lady getting closer and closer, Xu Tao felt a little uncomfortable and moved to the side.
It doesn't look bad, why does it look so weird?
He agreed intermittently, and when he got out of the car and saw that the other person was still following him, he frowned and said, "Auntie, is there something wrong with you?"
The old lady looked around and saw that the two men behind her were still there. She dragged them to the supply and marketing cooperative and whispered, "Little girl, there are two men watching you from the car. You'd better be careful."
Xu Tao looked outside and saw two men with thief eyes wandering outside. She said gratefully, "Thank you, Auntie. I wouldn't have noticed otherwise because of your reminder."
"It's okay, little girl. My son is the director of the supply and marketing cooperative. Just wait for me to find him and ask the police to come over."
"Oh, no..."
Before Xu Tao could say no, the old lady started to fiddle with her bound feet to find someone. It wasn't a good idea to leave right away, so she could only go to the supply and marketing cooperative.
"I'm so worried. Meat is getting harder and harder to buy these days. I bravely went to that place several times, but I didn't see anything."
"I'm even more worried. Not having meat to eat is not enough. My sister-in-law is getting married, and my mother insisted that I keep a bright red cloth. Where can we get red cloth now? Seeing that the day of my sister-in-law's wedding is getting closer, I'm worried about a few gray hairs."
The woman in her thirties frowned. If she was not prepared on the day, her mother-in-law would definitely think she was not doing her best.
"Oh, that's right. My sister is getting married too. We've been close since we were little, and I wanted to prepare a red dress for her so she would look good in her husband's family. I've been waiting for a month, and there's nothing red to be seen."
Xu Tao's eyes flashed, and she searched the space thoroughly, and actually found the red cloth squeezed in the corner. It seemed that she had bought all the red cloth in one go during some store promotion, and now it came in handy.
Several people were discussing at once and didn't notice that there was one more person. Even if they had noticed, they wouldn't have cared since it wasn't something shameful.
"Ah, what are you doing? Let me go!"
"Comrade Public Security, these two are the ones who followed the little girl all the way!"
"Bullshit, we were in the same car, when did we follow anyone?"
"Then why are you hanging around outside the supply and marketing cooperative?"
"me......."
The two knew something was wrong at first sight, so Xu Tao, as the victim, followed along and left after answering a few simple questions.
"Thank you, Auntie. I don't have much to thank you for. I'll give you this basket of eggs."
"Don't worry, I'm an old woman..."
Tian Guihua got stuck in the middle of her words, chicken...egg?
The daughter-in-law needs to eat chicken and eggs during her confinement period, but chickens are hard to buy in the city, so she took a bus to the countryside to exchange them.
As a result, I didn’t know where the big stack of money went. Fortunately, I still had fifty cents left, so at least I could take the bus back.
"Little girl, I can't take your eggs for free. So, if I don't, I'll go get the money from my son."
The old lady left in a hurry again, and Xu Tao had to catch up with her. She went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some pastry seasonings and toilet paper, and then waited at the door.
The old lady quickly ran out of the door, and Xu Tao hurriedly called for help. After a struggle, Xu Tao got five yuan and gave the basket to the old lady.
After saying goodbye to the old lady, Xu Tao walked to the alley and slipped into the space, and came out looking completely different.
She had been to the black market before. She knocked on the door as she was familiar with the place, and without waiting for anyone to ask, she just said the slogan and paid a dime.
After entering and opening the backpack, the pile of red cloth was quickly sold out.
He took out five watches from his pocket. After a while, someone came to invite her to follow the younger brother into the house. They negotiated back and forth and reached a deal happily.
I worked until the afternoon and finally caught the last bus. When I arrived in town, the sky was already covered with gorgeous sunset glow. I had not walked a few steps when I ran into five people with gloomy faces and felt a little embarrassed.
Chi Zheng and Wang Dequan took the things without saying a word.
"You...why are you all here? Have you packed your things? I agreed to pick them up tonight."
"Oh, don't be angry. I won't come back so late next time."
"No, what's wrong with you? I worked hard all day and you're giving me a cold shoulder. Humph, I'm ignoring you!"
