Tang Zhaodi, Lin Ling, and the others, after hearing this, also wanted to buy some mountain products. These things were priced the same as pork. Pork could be bought anytime with ration coupons and money.
These mountain products aren't something you can just buy whenever you want.
Sometimes you have to go into the mountains several times before you might catch one or two.
They bought out dozens of kilograms of mountain produce.
Jiang Yue bought sixty duck eggs. Tang Zhaodi and Lin Ling, among others, wanted to learn how to cook like Jiang Yue, so they each bought twenty.
Aunt Zhang asked her daughters-in-law to collect the money from each household in the village.
Before long, all the duck eggs were brought back.
"Comrades, my daughter-in-law and the others have carefully checked these duck eggs, and they are fresh."
Aunt Zhang is a smart woman. In business, you have to be sustainable. If you give out bad products, people won't want to buy from you again, and that would be a huge loss. You have to have a conscience in business too.
As they were talking, they heard voices coming from the doorway.
"It's my son and the others who are back."
Aunt Zhang said happily.
The two sons of the Zhang family would take a few people from the village into the mountains to hunt, going two or three times a month. After selling what they got, they would divide the money according to the rules.
Sometimes, a trip into the mountains can last for several days.
"Mom, we're back."
Zhang shouted loudly.
Seeing so many women in the house, these men suddenly became somewhat speechless.
Aunt Zhang said with a smile.
"How was your harvest this time?"
"This time when we went into the mountains, we only caught two pheasants and a few rabbits. We didn't catch a big wild boar because it got away."
"A rabbit is wonderful! My son said he saw other people keeping rabbits and he wants to have one too."
Zhou Qiao said happily.
How much is this rabbit?
Zhou Qiao looked at Aunt Zhang.
I'll sell it to you at the price of meat.
As the group talked, Jiang Yue's gaze drifted to the other people standing in the courtyard.
Several of them had tanned skin, both older and younger, while the other two were completely covered up, with only their faces showing, and were sizing them up.
Jiang Yue suddenly felt that something was off about the two of them.
She couldn't explain why, but she just felt there was something wrong with the two of them.
Nowadays, almost everyone in the village does farm work, so they're bound to be tanned darker than average. These two, though so bundled up, have calluses on their hands, suggesting they've done farm work, but also...
Noticing Jiang Yue's gaze, the two immediately withdrew their hands. They also looked at Jiang Yue with some wariness.
Jiang Yue immediately turned her gaze to the rabbit and pretended to be happy.
"I also want to raise two rabbits, one male and one female. If I raise them like this, I can have baby rabbits in a few months."
Hearing that Jiang Yue also wanted a rabbit, Aunt Zhang was even happier.
After paying the money, the group carried their belongings in baskets and walked into the family compound.
After Jiang Yue and the others left, the taller of the two people who were covered up spoke up.
"Aunt Zhang, who were those people just now?"
"They are military dependents. They're the ones who usually buy the game you hunt, as well as the eggs from various households in the village..."
Hearing what Aunt Zhang said, the man continued.
"There was someone I didn't recognize just now, is there any problem?"
Aunt Zhang explained with a smile.
"She's also a military dependent, she won't complain. I heard they just moved here." Aunt Zhang didn't think much of it, assuming the two were afraid of being reported for buying and selling things.
