Gu Yunyang had no choice but to raise his hands and follow the two old women back to the village in a very humiliating manner.
The two elderly women stared at Gu Yunyang from one side to the other, looking exactly like they had caught a suspect or captured Xiao Yinghua.
I had just designed a team of Sakura girls, and they failed miserably, some dying and others getting injured.
As a result, I ended up getting the same treatment as Sakura after meeting these two older women.
"Auntie Pang, what's wrong?"
Soon, they arrived at the village entrance.
Perhaps it's because spring plowing is starting today, so there are quite a lot of people here at this time.
Many villagers stopped to watch as they came down.
Some of the more agitated people even wanted to come up and hit someone.
"Uncles and aunties, brothers and sisters. I'm just a student, you don't have to treat me like this, do you?"
Perhaps because there were many people, Gu Yunyang quickly took his hand down.
It looks terrible to have a rabbit and a pheasant on your head.
Fortunately, the captain arrived in time. Gu Yunyang quickly stepped forward and explained to him, saying, "I just want to exchange for some coarse grains, so I'll use this rabbit. As for my identity, I have a letter of introduction here. Also, the soldier leading the group that Aunt Pang saw going up the mountain today is my older brother."
The battalion commander read the letter of introduction, and Gu Yunyang added that the soldier was also present.
When the person comes down, if it's a lie, it will naturally be exposed.
Actually, business is not allowed now, but the villagers usually grow vegetables and eggs from their chickens, and they trade them with others for other things.
For example, soy sauce and other condiments are fine.
At this time, there were still occasional markets, which were permitted by the commune.
Therefore, Gu Yunyang's offer to exchange meat for grain did not lead to him being labeled a speculator.
This kind of thing isn't popular in the village either.
Of course, the most important thing was that Gu Yunyang was using Zuo Qiulin's name to intimidate others, claiming that Zuo Qiulin was his elder brother.
The villagers had considered confiscating the rabbit and pheasant meat through speculation.
Isn't this because they think Gu Yunyang might have a powerful background?
The battalion commander thought for a moment and said, "How about this, you come with me to the battalion headquarters, and I'll get you some coarse grains first. We'll have two quick-thinking people prepare the rabbit and pheasant around noon, and each family will get a share. You just wait at the battalion headquarters; I'll have someone wait at the foot of the mountain until that squad of soldiers comes down and verifies your identity before you leave, okay?"
Although it was a suggestion, Gu Yunyang understood that if he refused, things might not end well.
"Sure, why not?"
After arriving at the brigade headquarters with the brigade leader, Gu Yunyang gave away the rabbit and pheasant.
The captain thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I heard you say earlier that rabbits and pheasants are both three yuan each, so let's say twelve yuan."
We have plenty of whole grains here, cornmeal, sorghum flour, and some red sorghum rice. What would you like? We can only exchange it for you at a rate of three cents per pound, is that alright?
Actually, rice only costs 12 cents now, but we've been suffering from drought for a while now.
Although spring planting has just begun in Northeast China, experienced farmers have already realized that this year's harvest is likely to be poor.
In addition, Gu Yunyang didn't have any food coupons, so this wasn't a rationed food supply.
If this meat weren't for the whole village to eat, and if Gu Yunyang didn't seem to have some background, Sanmao might not have given it to him.
Yes, if you find someone privately, the price will definitely be cheaper.
However, the prices of rabbits and pheasants are slightly higher.
Gu Yunyang was just going through the motions, so he immediately agreed: "Sure, I was thinking, would you like more red sorghum? Or maybe we could just replace it all with red sorghum."
Red sorghum is generally used for brewing wine. This type of rice is soft, sticky, and has a strong rice aroma. It is a food that evokes memories for those born in the 60s, 70s, and 80s.
There are actually many varieties of sorghum. Sorghum grains come in a variety of colors, including yellow, red, black, white, grayish-white, and light brown. Red sorghum specifically refers to sorghum with red grains.
Red sorghum is mainly used for brewing because of its high yield and suitability for brewing various types of alcohol; while white sorghum is mainly used for food, and is warm in nature and has a sweet and astringent taste.
