After saying that, Tian Tian glanced in her direction.
Li Jiuniang now knew that Tian Tian came to see her on purpose, but she didn't know why Tian Tian came to see her.
It's no wonder that Li Jiuniang had such an idea. It was true that Tian Tian would rarely come to the fields except for delivering meals to Tian Lisong and the others. This time she came here suddenly, and specifically to the field where Li Jiuniang was working. She must have something to talk to her about.
Li Jiuniang saw that after Tian Tian looked at her, she continued to squat down and pick wild vegetables.
Li Jiuniang didn't show anything and continued to work.
After Li Jiuniang worked for a while, she brushed off the dirt on her body, stood up and asked for leave from the scorer at the local area, saying that she wanted to go to the toilet.
The scorer took a look at Li Jiuniang and thought that Li Jiuniang had indeed been working for quite a long time, so it was normal for him to want to go to the toilet. He waved his hand and told Li Jiuniang to go quickly and come back early.
Li Jiuniang thanked the scorer and went to the place where he had agreed to meet Tian Tian.
There is really nothing that can be called a hidden place in this brigade. Usually, few people go there, and only those who are in a relationship go there.
Tian Tian and Li Jiuniang had previously discussed where to exchange items each time, and finally decided to set the location at the educated youth center.
Because the youth cadre's site was surrounded by the brigade headquarters, threshing grounds, warehouses, and granaries.
There are basically no houses here. Usually, there is no one here during the autumn harvest and spring planting seasons. The team leaders are working in the fields, and other people will not stay here.
The two of them were still behind the pile of firewood near the educated youth’s site.
"Is this the first time you come to me on your own initiative? What's the matter?" Li Jiuniang said curiously.
Although they have been doing transactions secretly in the past few years, Tian Tian has always been the passive party. She rarely takes the initiative to find her to buy anything. Usually, she needs something and then goes to Tian Tian. Today, Tian Tian took the initiative to come to her. It was really a blessing in disguise.
"I have some toads here. Do you want them?" Tian Tian carried out a wet cloth bag from behind her. The bag looked very heavy. Tian Tian could hardly lift it and put it on the ground.
"Toads?" Li Jiuniang's eyes lit up, and he turned to look at the cloth bag beside Tian Tian's legs, "Where did you get so many toads?"
"I caught some last night. It weighs about 15 to 20 pounds. If you want them, I'll give them all to you."
Li Jiuniang reached out and picked up the cloth bag.
It was so heavy that she could hardly lift it.
But now she had an idea of how much these toads weighed.
"What do you plan to exchange these toads for?" Li Jiuniang asked.
"Money! Tickets!" Tian Tian said without hesitation, "These toads are at least a piece of meat, so the price will definitely not be cheap. Just give me the money and food tickets."
"Eighty cents a pound, plus food coupons, what do you think?"
How much?! Eighty cents per pound?
Tian Tian widened her eyes in disbelief. She had originally thought that she could just sell it for two or three cents plus food coupons, but she didn't expect Li Jiuniang to give her such a high price.
Although Tian Tian has rarely gone out to buy things since she came to this world, and she is not very clear about the prices of grain and lard, but this price should be about the same as pork, right?
Tian Tian glanced at Li Jiuniang, whose face showed a slight joy, and knew that she would definitely not suffer a loss at this price. It just so happened that Tian Tian was really short of money at the time, so she agreed.
At the same time, she felt a little regretful. If she had known that toads were so valuable, she would not have exchanged her previous toad for other things.
"Do you still want the frogs? If you do, I'll catch some more tonight." Tian Tian asked. Now the frogs are out to mate, and they only go out at night during this period of time. If you come here at this time, the frogs will not be able to stay, and there will be no way to make money quickly.
"Yes!" Li Jiuniang said without hesitation, "I want as many as you can catch. The more the better."
"Then I'll wait for you here tomorrow at noon!" Tian Tian said, "Don't forget to bring me the cloth bag. I only have one cloth bag left."
The cloth bag in her hand was sponsored by Li Jiuniang.
"Okay! Let's meet here at this time tomorrow at noon, and I will give you the money and tickets then." Li Jiuniang said.
After the two of them made an agreement, Tian Tian went home.
Watching Tian Tian's back disappear around the corner, a hint of excitement flashed in Li Jiuniang's eyes, and the cloth bag containing the toad in his hand immediately disappeared out of thin air.
After standing there and waiting for a while, Li Jiuniang looked at the long list of extra points on the scoreboard, and walked away humming a little tune in a very happy mood.
Sure enough, these pure natural and pollution-free wild forest frogs are different from other things. Look at the points they get after being exchanged, they are much worse.
Compared with these points that can be exchanged for various things, the money and food coupons are the least valuable things to Li Jiuniang.
In fact, Li Jiuniang had long wanted to get some forest frogs to exchange for points, but she had to work during the day and did not have the energy to get up and catch forest frogs at night, so she had to give up the idea.
Tian Tian helped her pick wild vegetables and mountain products. Although the points were high, they were nothing compared to the forest frog.
Last year, Tian Tian gave her a lot of frogs, and she earned a lot of points, but Tian Tian only caught them for her twice, and the weight of the frogs was very small.
Moreover, at that time, Tian Tian seemed to have no material desires, and she looked as if it didn't matter what was given to her.
Now that Tian Tian is finally trying to exchange her things for money and food coupons, Li Jiuniang will definitely give her more money to ensure her enthusiasm in catching forest frogs.
Originally, he would have been able to earn a lot of points tomorrow. Li Jiuniang hummed a song and went back to the fields to continue working with an expression like a capitalist exploiting workers.
Tian Tian is indeed as excited as Li Jiuniang said. To be honest, she had not expected to make so much money by catching frogs. She thought that earning one or two dollars would be pretty good. She would save as much as she could. If she couldn't make the rest, she would go to the county town to sell the food in her shells.
But now Li Jiuniang has actually given her 80 cents plus food coupons, which proves that Li Jiuniang must earn more than what she gives him.
Tian Tian can catch more frogs in the next few nights and try to earn more money.
Moreover, it is quite safe to make money this way. You only need to contact Li Jiuniang and there is no need to worry about being arrested by the police.
Tian Tian hummed a song, feeling very happy. She decided that when she got home she would go back into the shell and find another container so that she could catch more frogs in the evening.
After returning home, Tian Tian closed the door and went into the shell to look for a container.
To be honest, there aren't many containers in her shell that can hold things. The bucket she used to hold the toad last night was the same bucket she used to hold waste water. She cleaned it and used it.
Tian Tian searched inside the shell for a long time but couldn't find anything else to put the toad in.
She did have some pots, pans, and bowls for eating, but there was no way she would use the bowls to catch the toad.
