The four wolf pelts that Bu Ling traded with Xia Qingmei were all given to Sang Shen to dispose of.
"When the time comes, make a vest for Grandpa, and two knee pads. Make vests for Uncle and Aunt, and for my younger uncle and aunt, and for my younger aunt. Is that enough?" As she spoke, Buling gestured with the wolf skin.
After looking at it, Sangshen nodded: "That's enough, but I don't think there will be many left after we finish." He folded the wolf skins one by one and put them in the wardrobe.
Buling waved her hand: "It's okay, my cousin said there are quite a few in their village. We can just exchange more next time. Oh, and wolf bones too. I remember those are good stuff. Let's get some for Grandpa and the others to make medicinal wine, it'll help them stay healthy!"
"Alright, I'll have someone make a vest for me tomorrow and send it to Grandpa and the others." Sangshen didn't say anything more.
Buling nodded. That's how it should be. Relatives should also exchange gifts. Otherwise, if you only care about receiving gifts but don't reciprocate, it seems like you have no backbone.
After dealing with the wolf pelt, Sangshen stood up to prepare dinner. "Lingling, what would you like to eat tonight?"
Buling was very easy to talk to: "Anything is fine, I'm not picky." She really didn't feel pregnant at all right now, and she had a great appetite!
"Then let's make stewed cabbage with glass noodles and tofu, and add some minced meat, it'll be very delicious."
"Okay, you can cook, I'll do whatever you want."
Sangshen first went down into the cellar and took out a large cabbage, then soaked some vermicelli. "Hey? By the way, Lingling, Xie Dong told me today that he wants to reopen the black market."
Bling was half-reclined on the recliner, rocking back and forth. When he heard Sangshen's words, he opened his eyes and looked at him: "Tell me more."
Sang Shen's subordinates kept working: "Well, things have calmed down in Gu County, and with the New Year approaching, Xie Dong plans to make a quick buck before the New Year. He won't have to worry about selling his goods before the New Year."
"Are you sure everything's alright now?" Buling asked.
Mulberry nodded: "It's confirmed."
Bling closed her eyes again and pulled the blanket up a little: "That's a good thing. We'll have more income before the New Year and a channel to buy things."
At this point, she suddenly remembered her previous idea: "By the way, what do you think of that idea I mentioned to you before? Is it feasible?"
With a few quick chops, Sangshen minced the meat. "That works. I'll find Xie Dong tomorrow, and you can talk to him yourself?"
After thinking for a moment, Bu Ling decided that it would be best for her to talk to him directly, as it would allow her to make things clearer: "Okay, let's go to the county hospital tomorrow night. After all, there are always people overheard here."
Sangshen put the cabbage into the pot: "Okay, I'll pick you up from the restaurant tonight."
The following evening, Sangshen arrived at the restaurant just as Buling finished get off work. Buling had just finished settling the accounts, said goodbye to Grandpa Tan and the others, and then left with Sangshen.
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Sister Ma said with a hint of envy, "Xiao Bu's man is really good to her!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Yuanyuan couldn't help but retort, "But Bu Ling is good to her man too!"
Zhu Zhizhi asked curiously, "How exactly is it good?" She wanted to learn so that she could treat Brother Gao the same way in the future.
Wu Yuanyuan was momentarily speechless, but quickly recovered: "Buling already married him, isn't that good enough?"
Aunt Ma, Zhu Zhizhi, and Grandpa Tan who was eavesdropping:....
Little Wu's butt is all crooked.
On the other side, Bu Ling followed Sang Shen to a house next to the county hospital, but it wasn't Sang Shen's house; it belonged to Xie Dong.
As Bu Ling watched Sang Shen take out her key and open Xie Dong's door, she couldn't help but feel speechless. She finally understood why Sang Shen was so confident; it was all because of these people who spoiled her!
Sang Shen acted as if she were one of the guests. She went inside, made a cup of malted milk for Bu Ling, and put some walnuts on the table: "Ling Ling, have something to eat first. We'll cook dinner when Xie Dong comes back."
We'll see what good stuff Xie Dong brings back later!
Buling didn't stand on ceremony and took small sips of the malted milk powder. This stuff was extremely sweet, but it was very nutritious, so Sangshen required her to drink a cup every day.
Sang Shen was cracking walnuts for Bu Ling on the side. When Xie Dong came back, this was the scene he saw. Sang Xiaoqi was diligently cracking walnuts, and she would hand out some walnut kernels to her younger brother and sister-in-law.
He found it quite amusing; it really is true that one thing can subdue another!
"Sister-in-law, Xiao Qi!" he greeted, then went inside and closed the door.
Mulberry nodded reservedly, "Come on in, have a seat~"
Bling: ....
"Brother Xie is back, please sit down, please sit down!" She took a stool and placed it in front of Xie Dong.
Xie Dong rolled his eyes at Sang Shen, sat down on the stool, and asked, "Why did you come over today, sister-in-law?"
Bu Ling didn't keep him in suspense: "I do have something I want to discuss with Brother Xie, or rather, I should say, a collaboration!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Dong glanced at Sang Xiaoqi. Seeing that he did not object, he asked with interest, "I wonder how you, sister-in-law, plan to cooperate?"
Bu Ling already had an idea in mind, so without thinking, she blurted out, "I know how to grow fresh vegetables in winter, and I also know how to make soap, or scented soap. I wonder if Brother Xie would be interested?"
Xie Dong, of course he's interested!
Let's start with off-season vegetables. The profits from these are substantial. If he mastered this technology, the scale of his black market would expand even further.
Then the profits will definitely increase significantly.
Then there's soap, which may seem insignificant, but it's an indispensable necessity. Plus, these things require ration coupons, so they're in high demand and short supply on the black market.
Thinking of this, Xie Dong's eyes burned a little more intensely: "Is what you said true, sister-in-law?"
