That day, Zhou Yuzhu and her family arrived at the Mo family's residence.
Because they hadn't been informed beforehand, the Mo family didn't know they had guests coming today, so they all went up the mountain.
They wanted to stockpile as much grain and goods as possible, anything that could be dried and used, they got right to it!
Everyone felt that this was not a joke, and that it was something to laugh about and then forget. This was a matter of life and death, and if there really was no food, no one would pity them!
People have to fight hard to survive!
Even the children in the Mo family take this issue very seriously. It's not just a matter for adults; it's everyone's responsibility!
So we are more motivated and work harder than ever before!
I'm not afraid of hardship or fatigue; I'm doing all this for myself, and I should be proud of it!
Why did the whole family go up the mountain today?
It's all because I promised to do something!
Su Nanxi had promised Qin that she would hunt a wild boar, saying that a wealthy family really wanted it, but then she got busy and forgot about it!
But that's alright. After all, wild animals are all about luck. They're not that easy to catch. It's normal if you don't catch them!
If they were that easy to catch, they wouldn't be worth anything!
Scarcity makes things valuable!
That reason alone made that family wait for a long time!
Recently, someone is planning a banquet and wants to prepare some special dishes, so they've come up with the idea of wild game again!
So they went to Boss Mo and his gang again, begging them for help. They were willing to pay a high price, and the money was negotiable. They would buy whatever they caught, but it would be best if they could catch a wild boar!
And the more the better!
They insisted on buying wild game caught by the Mo family because they had compared it with other families. They had plenty of money and didn't just buy wild game from the Mo family; they bought from other families as well. But after trying them all, they still felt that the Mo family's game tasted the best!
However, the wild game from the Mo family is so rare that it can't be bought often even at high prices, which makes people very envious!
The harder it is to get something, the more I crave it, and the more delicious it seems. Just thinking about it fills me with its wonderful aroma!
The wild animals caught by other people are simply incomparable!
Besides, when hosting a banquet, the guests are all people of status and prestige, so we can't just treat them casually. This is a great opportunity to build relationships, so we have to show the utmost sincerity and serve the best and hardest-to-get wild game!
If we invite the restaurant's head chef to cook, it will definitely be very delicious!
In the eyes of wealthy people, as long as they pay a high enough price, the success rate will definitely be greatly increased!
Is there anything that can't be bought with money?
If there are any, then we haven't smashed enough. Keep smashing, smash several baskets, and see if it still doesn't work!
So the price given to the Mo family was quite high, two or three times the usual price!
However, this was not something that Boss Mo could decide. He himself didn't know how to catch wild animals at all, so he didn't agree immediately. He only said that catching wild animals depended on luck, and no one could guarantee how many they could catch. They were in town and didn't know the current situation on the mountain. They needed to discuss it with their family before giving an answer.
That family was very reasonable and didn't make things difficult for them, because it was indeed difficult to catch them. If it were easy, farming families like the Mo family would definitely have tried their best to catch them and sell them for money!
Who would complain about not having enough money!
Look at the other farmers, isn't that how it is?
They really want to catch them and sell them, but it's hard to catch them!
This really can't be rushed, but there's still some time before the banquet, so we still earnestly request the Mo family to catch some!
When Su Nanxi went to town, Qin Shi told her about it. Qin Shi knew it wouldn't be easy, but she believed that Su Nanxi would still be able to catch some, because she had been able to catch some from time to time before!
They just kept them at home and killed one to eat from time to time, instead of selling them.
Su Nanxi didn't give a definite answer after hearing this. She only said that she would try her best, but not to have too high hopes. Otherwise, if she failed to catch it and angered the wealthy family, it would be terrible and would inevitably bring a lot of trouble.
Mo Laoda and his group still run shops in town. It's best not to offend those people if possible. If they cause trouble, it will be a real problem!
Boss Mo and the others nodded to indicate that they understood. They didn't dare to agree casually, as it was beyond their capabilities, so how could they make a guarantee?
They understand these things. Although the pay is high, you have to be capable of taking it!
Su Nanxi certainly knew whether she could do it or not, but she wouldn't tell others that it was definitely possible. She needed to give people a proper sense of anticipation and tension. If it was too easy to obtain, people might try to negotiate a lower price!
So, a few days later, Su Nanxi led people to the mountain. Yes, it wasn't just Old Man Mo's family; she also invited Mo Yunhai's family. They would come along if they had time, and it didn't matter if they didn't.
All the able-bodied members of Mo Yunhai's family went. They would go whenever they were called upon. They didn't care about many things. If there was work that wasn't urgent, they would put it aside and go help first!
The reason Mo Yunhai's family is now able to prosper is largely thanks to Su Nanxi's support. Otherwise, with their honest and simple nature, without any income or skills, it would be difficult for them to get rich!
Otherwise, they would have become incredibly wealthy long ago!
They are not ungrateful people. Ordinary people don't call on them unless there is something important that really needs their help. If they don't go, that would be a bit unreasonable!
What's more, we're going into the mountains today. I heard we're going to catch wild animals, and there might be some really big ones. The people from Shanshan are there to help carry them back!
The traps had been set long ago, and based on past experience, there would be no shortage of wild animals, which is why we needed help!
Indeed, if Su Nanxi wants to bring back a wild boar, he'll definitely need to find more people, otherwise it will be difficult to carry it back.
When the villagers heard that the Mo family was going to the mountains to hunt wild animals, they all became interested. They put down what they were doing and went to join in the fun. They figured they could do their work later when they got back!
One person went, and once someone took the lead, many others followed suit. They were all just there to join in the fun!
They've never really seen it before, so how could they not be curious!
If they could learn it, they could try it out later and maybe they could catch some too!
However, they dared not follow too closely, fearing that the Mo family would be displeased if they saw them, or that if the wild animals accidentally escaped and they happened to be blocking their way, then they would be in deep trouble and unable to reason with them!
So keep a certain distance so you can see them without obstructing the people in front of you!
Hearing the noise, Su Nanxi naturally knew that there were many people following behind, but she didn't say anything. As long as they continued to maintain this distance and didn't get in her way, that was fine!
"You stand here, you guard this spot, keep watch, don't get distracted! Everyone stand in your designated positions and guard your territory! Now be quiet, we're about to begin, let's go check out the traps ahead! Shh—"
The scene fell silent instantly, and even the villagers who had followed behind shut their mouths and slowed their breathing.
The exciting moment is about to begin!
"Whoa! Quick! Catch them! Don't let them get away!"
"Ah! There's more!"
