Zhang Jianguo never expected that running an errand would lead to such a good thing. "Then I'll take your good stuff. You two chat, I'll help deliver it back now."
Zhang Jianguo picked up the bag and headed towards Captain Jin's house.
Seeing that someone had taken over the troublesome matter, Tang Baozhu put it aside and said to the others in the courtyard, "This is the first time I've eaten with everyone. My cooking skills are just at the level of being able to cook something properly. I don't know who among you is better at cooking, so that my rabbit won't go to waste."
The others were also quite happy to hear that there was rabbit to eat. Although it was easy to eat fish in this place, it was still a bit difficult to eat meat.
"Feifei is a great cook. Let's have Feifei take charge of the cooking tonight. I happen to have two sausages with me, so let's bring them out too. It's more fun when there are more people."
"In that case, I'll take on this task. I hope you won't be dissatisfied with the food I prepare later."
Seeing that everyone thought highly of her, and that she herself was indeed confident in her cooking skills, Li Feifei readily accepted the task of making dinner.
Actually, Tang Baozhu's cooking skills weren't bad. In fact, every dish tasted delicious as long as a little water containing spiritual energy was added, but she didn't want to show it off.
He took a rabbit from the house and handed it to Li Feifei, also taking his own food rations for dinner. "Feifei, tonight's big meal is yours. It'll be a good way to replenish your energy before you start working hard tomorrow."
"Don't worry, we definitely won't waste any good stuff. Although it's not late now, let's have dinner early tonight."
"Sure, I have no objection. Is there anything I can help you with? I'll help you with it."
"Why don't you and Zheng He pick some vegetables from the backyard? We can't eat all meat, and there's definitely not enough for so many people. We need to add some other vegetables and pick more."
"Okay, I haven't seen your vegetables yet, let's go take a look."
Tang Baozhu followed Zheng He and took a basket of vegetables, heading towards the backyard. It was harvest time in the vegetable garden, and almost all the vegetables were at their peak production.
After picking and choosing, they had almost filled a basket with fruit. Then they went back to the front yard to wash them by the well. Xu Man and Lili came over to help.
I had just finished washing it and was about to take it to the kitchen when I saw Zhang Jianguo come back.
"Comrade Zhang Jianguo, why did you bring the things in the bag back? Didn't he accept them?"
Zhang Jianguo was also troubled. "When I went to Captain Jin's house to look for him, his family said he wasn't home and had gone to the commune. So I couldn't give the bag to Captain Jin and his wife. I don't know if Jin Meng deliberately hid away. I can only wait for him to come back and then return the bag to him."
Tang Baozhu knew immediately that he had definitely gone into hiding. He was afraid that if she didn't accept the item, or that she would return it if she knew how valuable it was, he would simply disappear without a trace.
Tang Baozhu guessed correctly; that was exactly what Jin Meng was thinking. He felt that he might not have shown enough sincerity, which was why Tang Zhiqing was avoiding him and unwilling to date him. He thought that girls might like pretty things, and he was particularly confident that he could win her over.
They were racking their brains trying to come up with a better gift, since they could tell at a glance that Tang Zhiqing didn't like the hair clips and other small items they had given her recently.
"Let's keep the pearl and return it next time we meet. If they refuse to accept it, we'll just pay the difference. Since you're short of leather anyway, we won't be taking advantage of you if we pay the difference."
Xu Man's eyes lit up as she looked at the bright red fox fur. Although she couldn't own it, she could still admire it. She quickly told Baozhu to accept it.
Tang Baozhu didn't think it was particularly valuable, after all, she had bear skins, tiger skins, and all kinds of skins in her warehouse, even skins from the cultivation world, the immortal world, and the beastman world, especially the skins from the cultivation world and the immortal world, which were all from spirit beasts.
"Comrade Zhang Jianguo, how much do you think all these things will cost in total? I'll make sure to pay him back later."
Zhang Jianguo looked at each piece one by one. "The most expensive one should be this fox fur, which is at least 120 yuan. Then there are the deer and wolf furs on the side, which are about 30 yuan each. The rest are these white rabbit furs. Because they don't have a single stray hair, they are probably a little more expensive than ordinary rabbit furs. Let's say one yuan per fur. There are 12 rabbit furs here, so that's 12 yuan. That's 162 yuan in total. As for the fox fur, we're giving you the lowest price. Just give us a little more and make it a round 170 yuan."
“Okay, we’ll give him an extra 150 yuan later, so we won’t be taking advantage of him.”
Tang Baozhu didn't really want it, but he had no choice but to make do with it for the winter. He was just heartbroken about spending the 100-plus yuan. You see, he didn't have much cash. When he went to the countryside, he only had a little over 500 yuan after deducting expenses. It seems he still needs to find a way to earn money, otherwise, once he runs out of cash, even if he has gold and jewelry, he won't have anywhere to use it.
"That's fine, it's good that Tang Zhiqing has thought it through."
"Comrade Zhang Jianguo, wait a moment. I'll give you the money. When the autumn harvest starts tomorrow, Comrade Jin Meng will definitely be working. Could you give him the money for me then? It wouldn't be appropriate for me to give it to him myself."
As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Baozhu ran into the house to get the money. She didn't want to take advantage of Jin Meng now, but if the two of them were dating, she wouldn't be so polite.
“Baozhu’s attitude of not taking advantage of others is something we should learn from. Women should be like that.”
"Fortunately, it seems that most of us educated youth came from relatively well-off families, and none of us were easily swayed by material possessions."
Tang Baozhu took the money and handed it directly to Zhang Jianguo, thus ending the matter as if it had nothing to do with her.
After working for an hour, Li Feifei prepared a table full of dishes. Although most of them were vegetables, it was still quite good for everyone.
After eating Li Feifei's food, Tang Baozhu felt that if she didn't add water imbued with spiritual energy, her cooking skills might not be as good as Li Feifei's.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they cleaned up the dishes together and then went back to their rooms to rest.
Before resting, as usual, I went to the small space to clean myself up. Then, after leaving the space, I lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) and my consciousness entered the red envelope group.
As soon as I entered, I found some unopened red envelopes. I clicked on one, which was probably a group red envelope that everyone could receive.
After receiving the red envelope, and seeing that no one was talking in the group, I left.
