"That's right, only if you show us the money and ticket to buy ten kilograms of meat will we believe you!"

"Or you can take out ten pounds of meat."

"Yes, otherwise there's no need to trust them."

Hearing the villagers making such a fuss, Aunt Zhang felt a little caught in a dilemma, as her family definitely did not have ten kilograms of pork.

She did have the meat tickets and money, but she was afraid she wouldn't be able to get them back.

Ten pounds of pork is not cheap, 80 cents per pound, which is eight yuan.

Chun Xing had no idea that city people were so difficult to deal with. She gritted her teeth and nodded to Aunt Zhang.

Everyone nodded. Aunt Zhang looked at her husband and said, "Boss, go back and get the money!"

"You, you spendthrift woman!" Old Zhang cursed angrily, but everyone in the village knew that he was a henpecked husband.

Everyone watched Lao Zhang go back, and most of them hoped that Li Tingyun would be the winner in this matter so that everyone could have a taste of the broth.

After a while, Lao Zhang came back with the money and tickets.

The old village chief knew that the team leader was in a difficult situation, so he didn't ask the team leader directly. Instead, he asked someone to get paper and pen, wrote down the bet between the two sides, and took the money and ticket given by Aunt Zhang in his hand.

After writing it, he took people to search.

In order to conceal his tracks, Li Tingyun made preparations before eating and placed the rice he usually ate in the corner of the kitchen.

As for the cellar in the woodshed, the things stored in it are usually not visible, so it’s okay if they can be searched.

There was only rice and a chicken underneath, nothing else, just to let people know that they had some goods.

The old village chief took a few of his own people to look for it. Aunt Zhang was worried, so she and her husband followed.

In addition to the kitchen and woodshed, there are four rooms in the yard, three of which are used for living, and only one is empty.

Li Tingyun had already put some of her and Xu Erhua's things into the space, so they could search for them however they wanted.

Aunt Zhang entered Li Tingyun's room and looked under the bed, but she was not satisfied and wanted to reach out and search other people's cabinets.

"There's no room for so much meat here. Besides, who's crazy enough to put meat in clothes?" Li Tingyun knew at first glance that this man had bad intentions.

"Who would know?" Aunt Zhang pouted unhappily when her thoughts were seen through.

Li Tingyun opened the cabinet and patted all the clothes with his hands, naturally not wanting such people to see the money.

After searching Li Tingyun's room and finding nothing, Xu Erhua's room was much simpler and could be easily searched. The only thing left to search was the closet, which contained only clothes and fabrics. Where was the meat?

When we went to see Gu Xingwu's room, it was even simpler. Apart from two beds and two sacks, there was no extra space to check.

After checking the three rooms where people live, there is the unoccupied room, and finally the woodshed.

The unoccupied rooms were empty, and the woodshed was filled with miscellaneous items and some firewood.

The Zhang couple searched thoroughly and finally found the cellar.

When I opened the cellar, I found two bags of rice, some unpeeled chestnuts, a few old pumpkins, and some dried mushrooms.

Seeing so much food, the Zhang couple became jealous.

"How long will it take to eat so much food?" Aunt Zhang murmured.

"This is the food sent by Liuli's family. He has a big appetite, so too little food won't be enough for him." Li Tingyun was telling the truth.

The villagers have all seen how much Wang Liuli eats. He can eat the food of several people by himself. It is normal for his family to send food to him.

Aunt Zhang and Old Zhang came out of the kitchen in shame. When the villagers saw them come out, they started to make a fuss.

"We lost, and they don't have meat either. Can we use these ten pounds of meat to make soup?" The most enthusiastic person was Old Chen, who was in charge of the duck shed.

As soon as Lao Chen started talking, the others naturally started making a fuss.

The old village chief looked at Aunt Zhang and said seriously, "Since the matter has come to an end, I will ask someone to take time out to go to town in the next two days to buy some meat. I will invite everyone to drink the soup.

Now, Aunt Zhang wants to apologize to Comrade Li Tingyun!"

"I've already paid the money, why should I apologize?" Aunt Zhang said, then pushed the villagers away angrily and ran out of the yard.

Old Zhang's heart was bleeding as he looked at the eight dollars. He snorted and chased after him.

Bang bang bang!

The villagers clapped their hands. No one had expected that they could come here to watch the fun and actually have a meal of meat.

"Okay, it's getting late. The weather has been good these days, so hurry up and chop the firewood. It's going to rain in a few days and the temperature will change again. It won't be easy to go up the mountain." After the old village chief said this, he sent everyone back.

The money was in the hands of the old village chief, so no one was worried and they all left the yard honestly.

Li Tingyun wanted to keep the team leader and the old village chief to have dinner, but they both made excuses to leave.

After closing the yard door, Li Tingyun and Xu Erhua put their things in order and then went to the kitchen to have a good meal.

While eating, Uncle He said, "It's really hard to take down such a big cow."

"How about I sell it?" Li Tingyun gave everyone advice.

"That's good, but if we bring it to the town, such a big bull will definitely be targeted." He Fei felt it was a bit difficult.

"It's okay, leave this to me, you guys continue to go up the mountain tomorrow." Li Tingyun also wanted to go to the city. There was no shortage of meat in the mountains, and it would be nice to buy some and exchange it for money.

"Can you carry such a big cow?" He Fei asked worriedly.

"Don't worry about this, I have my own way." Li Tingyun said with certainty.

"Tingyun, you wouldn't do that?" Chen Tie thought of Li Tingyun's method, which was to go to the black market to trade.

"You don't know anything, so don't ask. This is a different time and everyone's situation is different." Li Tingyun didn't want to listen to those empty promises.

Chen Tie could only shut his mouth. He had no choice. Due to his special status, many things were sensitive.

After things were confirmed, Li Tingyun picked up the bowl again and said, "Everyone should go up the mountain early tomorrow. I might go out in the middle of the night."

"How about I go with you?" Chen Tie was a little worried.

"Do you want to make a mistake?" Li Tingyun asked back.

Chen Tie suddenly fell silent, then glanced at Gu Xingwu.

Gu Xingwu didn't say anything, just lowered his head and continued eating.

After dinner, He Fei and his son took some chestnuts and some mountain products home.

After dinner, Li Tingyun and Xu Erhua took a good shower and were covered in sweat.

After taking a shower, the two sat at the door and washed clothes.

Chen Tiecai took the water to an empty room, washed Gu Xingwu, washed himself and changed into clean clothes, and then he washed both of their clothes.

In the middle of the night, Li Tingyun opened the door after taking a nap.

Gu Xingwu was standing outside the door, and his meaning was very clear, he wanted to go with her.

"You can't follow me. Your injuries haven't healed yet and you can't travel quickly. Don't worry, I'll be fine with my skills." Li Tingyun didn't plan to worry about Gu Xingwu this time.

In addition to the fact that Gu Xingwu was injured and could not stay, the bear paw in the space needed to find a buyer as soon as possible.
