"Go ahead and take them, but the problem is that it's not easy to get supplies over there right now."
"That's true."
"Right now, all I can afford is some cigarettes and alcohol."
"Then buy more cigarettes and alcohol, and watches with commemorative significance. I'm going to ask around tomorrow to see if anyone wants Moutai."
"good."
Yun Shudai was really tired today. After taking a shower, she was about to lie down and go to bed when she received a call from her brother-in-law. As soon as she answered, she heard her brother-in-law's excited roar: "Shushu, do you still have the wine you got for me today? A friend of mine wants some."
"Brother-in-law, yes, my friend has a bottle from 1968 and a bottle from 1969, and she wants me to help her get rid of them."
“It’s from 1968, okay, you wait, I’ll ask around for you.” He Lianzhi wanted to ask for it, but unfortunately he was currently investing in a hotel, and tens of thousands of yuan was a lot of money.
Let's just give it to a friend; it'll only take less than two minutes by phone.
He Lianzhi called again, excitedly saying, "Shushu, your brother-in-law paid for both bottles for you. The 130,000 for the 68 and the 120,000 for the 69, how about that?"
"Brother-in-law, I don't know anything about this either. If you think it's okay, then it's fine."
“My brother-in-law thinks this price is acceptable. You can ask your friend. If it’s okay, I’ll come to pick it up at home tomorrow. It’s not convenient for you to meet him.”
"Okay, thank you for your help, brother-in-law."
Yun Shudai hung up the phone, then made a show of calling back.
The next morning, He Lianzhi rushed over. Seeing how good the packaging was, he felt that his friend had overpaid him.
Yun Shudai didn't mind; this money was enough for her to stock up on a lot of supplies for her best friend.

Dalizhuang
These past few days, He Wan has been going up the mountain to pick wild vegetables and wild mushrooms with the people from the educated youth settlement and the village aunties.
The villagers of Lijiazhuang are taking advantage of these few months to stock up on wild mushrooms and wild vegetables.
June and July are the peak season for wild vegetables, and the abundance of wild vegetables on the mountains will provide enough food for Lijia Village for a period of time.
Some families will dry the wild vegetables they can't finish eating to make dried wild vegetables.
After three or four months, you can store quite a few different kinds of shiitake mushrooms.
Today, Aunt Chrysanthemum, Aunt Eyes, and Aunt Xiulan came up the mountain together.
The educated youth all followed these aunties, since they had been here for a long time and were most familiar with the mountain area.
"Aunt Chrysanthemum, in previous years, were we able to finish eating all the wild vegetables from these mountains?"
“They can finish it. In the past few months, some families have even used wild vegetables as their staple food. If it were a few years ago, they would have eaten all the wild grass, let alone wild vegetables.”
He Wan was also thinking that if there were plenty of wild vegetables in the mountains, she could take them to the commune through the production team to sell.
It seems I oversimplified things.
"But in autumn, there are even more things to eat, such as all kinds of wild mushrooms, wild grapes, wild pears, walnuts, hazelnuts, and chestnuts."
He Wan's eyes lit up; there were so many treasures on the mountain.
Just as I was wondering how to go up the mountain more often, I suddenly saw those children at the foot of the mountain cutting pig feed.
After Chen Qing gained access to her spatial ability in the book, she seemed to have asked the brigade leader for a more relaxed job: cutting pig feed. She should have already inquired about it by now.
However, the brigade leader did not agree. There were many children in the village aged five to twelve or thirteen, and the pig feed they gathered every day was enough for four pigs.
Finally, Chen Qing went to work as a teacher at the village primary school.
Um, but she's only fourteen years old. Could she talk to the brigade leader and ask to be allowed to cut pig feed?
She felt this was a good idea, so while looking for mushrooms, she moved away from the crowd, found a secluded spot, and entered the space.
She took out a pound of brown sugar and half a pound of White Rabbit milk candy from the supplies Yun Shudai had prepared for her, intending to go to the brigade leader's house that evening.
