Chapter 22 Gathering Herbs in the Mountains



We also need to arrange for a few people to keep watch there at night to prevent theft.

The basket of fish was stolen in the middle of the night before, and we don't know who stole it.

"Captain, we still have three wild rabbits. Can we exchange them for some rice with the supply and marketing cooperative?" Lin Mo asked politely.

Chen Gang, however, was not in a good mood:

"One pound for three pounds".

Hearing this, Lin Mo's heart sank slightly. Before, it was five catties of grain to exchange for one catty of meat, but now that it was meat to exchange for grain, it was only three catties.

Chen Gang glared at him angrily, while Lin Mo was thinking back to the roasted rabbit incident.

This pedantic brigade leader turned what he could have kept to himself into a communal meal and distributed it to the whole village.

He's just being stubborn and that's why he's targeting himself; he's not malicious.

"Alright, three jin it is..." Lin Mo reluctantly agreed.

"Well, we could actually raise rabbits..."

"Shut your stinking mouth!"

Before Lin Mo could finish his suggestion, Chen Gang started cursing.
