When the young woman heard this, a look of disappointment appeared on her face.
She had originally thought that she would be able to sell the deer that her husband had hunted yesterday by meeting Sister Liu today, but it seemed that her plan was in vain again.
Just as the young woman turned to leave, Zhang Meng called out to her, "Please wait a moment."
The young woman stopped and looked back, only then did she realize that Sister Liu, who had come this time, had brought such a beautiful woman with her.
"Are you calling me?" Seeing how good-looking the other person was, the young woman asked with a bit of inferiority in her heart.
Zhang Meng smiled at her, walked up to her and said, "Yes, I called you. It's like this. I just heard your sister Liu say that you have a deer at home. Is that true?"
The young woman's eyes lit up with joy, but she didn't dare to believe the good things in her mind, so she nodded and asked cautiously, "Why are you asking this? Are you planning to take it?"
It was only then that Sister Liu remembered the power of the Gu family.
The Gu family eats meat every day, so they will never have to worry about money.
"Mrs. Zhong, if you have a deer, please sell it to my sister-in-law. She can also eat the deer you have."
When the young woman heard Liu Fenfang's words, she immediately looked at Zhang Meng happily and said, "Comrade, do you really want it?"
Zhang Meng smiled at her and said, "If the deer is good, I'll buy them all."
When the young woman heard that they were all bought, she immediately said excitedly, "My deer are all good. They were just hunted yesterday. If it weren't for the fact that it's too far from here to town, my boss would have taken them to town to exchange for money."
Zhang Meng nodded. She believed this reason. It was indeed too far from here to the town.
"Take me over there to have a look."
Zhang Meng had once heard old man Sheng Liyuan say that venison was the most nutritious food. She had thought about eating it back home, but unfortunately, there wasn't a single deer on the hill behind her house. Led by the young woman, the two of them arrived outside an adobe house.
"This is my home. Wait a moment, I'll carry it out for you from the well."
After giving the instructions, the young woman immediately went into the house and called a strong man. The couple worked together to pull up the deer hanging at the bottom of the well.
Zhang Meng, who was standing in the yard, quickly saw the deer that the couple was carrying.
It was estimated to be about 50 to 60 kilograms, but it had been dead for a long time, and the blood on its body had dried up, so there was no smell.
After watching for a while, Zhang Meng looked up at the couple and asked, "How are you going to sell this deer?"
The sturdy young man seemed a little tongue-tied and he hesitated for a long time without uttering a price.
Finally, his wife couldn't stand it anymore and pushed him aside, scolding him a few times, "You're such a grown man, but you can't speak clearly. Get out of the way. I'll talk to this woman."
The sturdy man was pushed and scolded by his wife, but he just grinned and stood aside and watched obediently.
Seeing this, Zhang Meng raised the corner of her mouth, glanced at the sturdy man who retreated to the side, and her smiling face suddenly slowly faded.
"Comrade, do you think the price I mentioned is okay? If not, give us a price and we can discuss it."
At this time, the woman quoted a price to Zhang Meng. Zhang Meng quickly recovered from the sturdy man's face and said embarrassedly to the woman looking at her, "Excuse me, can you say it again? I was thinking about something else just now."
The young woman didn't get angry and repeated what she had said before, quoting a price of one yuan per catty.
At that time, pork was only a few cents per pound, and venison at one dollar per pound was considered a high price.
Ever since she quoted this price, the young woman stared at Zhang Meng nervously, fearing that she would reject the product because it was too expensive.
Zhang Meng thought for a moment and quickly said, "Okay, one dollar per pound is fine, but you have to help me get this deer head to the S Military Region. I can't carry it by myself."
The young woman immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Smiling, she pulled her husband, who had retreated to the side, and assured Zhang Meng, "Don't worry, comrade. My husband is very strong. I'll have him take you there."
Zhang Meng nodded, pointed at the deer lying on the ground, and asked, "Do you want to weigh it?"
The young woman rubbed her hands together and said sheepishly, "We weighed it yesterday, and it was 58 kilograms."
Then he continued, "But if you don't believe me, you can weigh it again."
Zhang Meng waved her hand and said, "No need to weigh it, I trust you." The young woman smiled when she heard that.
When Zhang Meng was about to pay, he saw that the family was hardworking. They had planted a lot of vegetables in the front and back yards, and also raised a lot of chickens in the yard, which seemed to be raised secretly.
"Are you selling this chicken? And these vegetables too. I want to buy them all." Zhang Meng pointed at these things and asked.
When the young woman saw her posture, she seemed to be planning a big purchase.
"Comrade, how much do you want to buy? If it's a lot, I can call everyone in the village. We have a lot of things to sell in our village, including chicken, duck, fish and meat." The young woman blinked her eyes, shining like stars, and stared at Zhang Meng.
Zhang Meng smiled and said, "If there is any, I want them all!"
Liu Fenfang, who was standing next to her, opened her mouth wide when she heard her answer, and was frightened again by this sister-in-law of the Gu family.
The young woman immediately patted the man behind her and instructed, "Go to the village and find Second Aunt and the others. Tell them that some comrades want to buy our things. Ask them to bring over any good ones they have at home so that they can choose."
