Wang Guangying tugged at Liu Shile's sleeve. She was really reluctant to part with it. This oil was very precious everywhere, and sometimes you couldn't even buy it. Although two ounces didn't sound like much, it was still quite a lot.
If you really have to compare, this oil is more useful than money. One roasted rabbit can be exchanged for two ounces of oil, so Wang Guangying thinks it's still a profit.
Liu Shile shook her head firmly. This person has plenty of money and oil, so he can go buy some good food himself. It's impossible for him to exchange two ounces of oil for her roasted rabbit!
Wang Guangying looked at the man with a frozen expression with a sense of helplessness and pity, but she found it funny in her heart. She thought that he probably thought they would agree immediately.
Unexpectedly, Lele was carefree. Hearing that it was only two ounces of oil, she refused to change it, which really dampened the spirits of this smug person.
"Half a rabbit? How about I trade two ounces of oil for half a rabbit?" The golden-brown, fragrant rabbit was placed in front of Zhang Shoujun, and he really wasn't willing to leave just like that.
However, he knew in his heart that he couldn't possibly use all the oil he brought back to exchange for a roast rabbit. Although roast rabbit is meat, oil is more important to the family.
Hearing the man haggling over the price of two ounces of oil for half a rabbit, Liu Shile's gaze fell on him again. She noticed that although he was reluctant to part with the money, his eyes were filled with even more anticipation.
Just then, there was a commotion down the mountain. Liu Shile casually tossed the small pebble she was playing with into the air, and then the mournful cry of a pheasant rang out.
However, after calling out twice, there was no response. Liu Shile said, "Okay, but you have to give us a jar to hold the oil."
After saying that, he turned to Wang Guangying and said, "Sister Ying'er, I'll go pick up that pheasant. You can give him half a rabbit, but we have to wait until he brings the oil."
After saying that, she slowly walked towards the pheasant, completely ignoring Zhang Shoujun, who was now dumbfounded.
Although it's an exaggeration to say he's traveled all over the country, Zhang Shoujun from the transportation brigade has seen quite a bit of the world and has met many hunters, including one from their own village.
When he was young, he went to ask others how to hunt and went into the mountains a few times with them. He even brought some earthen tools with him, but the results were never very good.
But now, a young girl, she, she, she actually threw a small pebble and hit a pheasant.
He felt like he no longer recognized the world. No wonder she walked away so leisurely, not afraid that he might have any bad intentions, like stealing the rabbit and running away.
He thought that if he really did that, the girl would probably break his leg with a pebble, because he understood the meaningful look she gave him before she left.
He couldn't help but shudder. Should he be thankful that the girl wasn't a vicious person who could tell he was rich but didn't rob him?
He felt that he might have been so hungry that he had forgotten that two young girls who could roast rabbits alone in the mountains could not be simple.
So he quickly said he would go get the oil and then returned along the same route. Actually, this place was not far from the national highway, but because the national highway had only recently opened, there were not many pedestrians or vehicles passing by.
It has to be said that roasted rabbit meat is quite attractive. After seeing the girl's strength, Zhang Shoujun was not scared and ran away.
Before long, they actually brought over a small porcelain bottle filled with dark, slightly astringent rapeseed oil, which looked like it had just been pressed.
He wasn't as fast as Liu Shile, so when he returned, the pheasant that had just been shot had almost all its feathers removed. He was envious, but this time he didn't dare to ask to buy or exchange it.
Liu Shile disliked the rapeseed oil of today because it didn't look clear at all; she preferred the snow-white lard.
After the transaction was completed, Zhang Shoujun wisely left in a hurry, without asking anyone to kick him out, which pleased Liu Shile.
As soon as he left, Liu Shile caught another rabbit to roast, and as for the chicken, she used what was available to make beggar's chicken. Since she was going to roast rabbit again anyway, she wasn't worried about messing it up.
Then she and Wang Guangying began to enjoy their meal. Because of the generous amount of seasoning, the taste of the grilled food was simply amazing.
Well, it's only because Wang Guangying is a good cook. If it were Liu Shile herself, she would only ruin the meat. It might look good, but the taste would be unpalatable.
Liu Shile herself felt helpless about this. In fact, she also wanted to do things herself and be self-sufficient, but while her wish was good, the result was rather cruel.
After the two had eaten and drunk their fill, they carefully wrapped the beggar's chicken tightly and carried it down the mountain, where they saw Wang Guangjie, who was on the verge of going crazy.
Upon seeing them return safely, Wang Guangjie felt relieved, but his anger flared up again. He said sternly, "Why did you two girls run off for so long? You didn't even come back for dinner! Did you want to starve to death?!"
Because it was getting dark, he couldn't see the small basket the two were carrying behind them from a distance; it was the one Wang Guangying had made to make to represent beggar's chicken.
As he spoke, the two women moved closer. He had a keen sense of smell, and his eyes widened instantly. He pointed at them as if to say something, but then he shut his mouth.
These two girls are incredibly bold! Do they think the back mountain is their hometown's deep forest? What if they get discovered?
So he quickly pulled the two of them back, not daring to let them enter the school gate at all. As they walked, he lowered his voice and said, "You two are too bold. You dared to bring this back. Quickly find a secluded place to dispose of it!"
His nervous appearance amused Liu Shile and Wang Guangying. In fact, they had already thought about this issue, but they were just there to pick someone up.
Now that someone was waiting there with Wang Guangying, Liu Shile stopped following and hurried towards the grain station. At this time, her second brother should be off work, right?
The grain depot closes later than other places because of the heavy workload. Although there are about a hundred people working, everything needs to be done by hand, so the efficiency can't keep up with the machines.
So when Liu Shile arrived, the grain station had just closed for the day. She saw her second brother walking out, rubbing his back. People greeted him from time to time, and his smile seemed quite genuine.
It seems my second brother is adapting well to his work here, but he's still growing and his body hasn't been properly nourished yet, so he needs to eat well.
So she called out to her second brother in a crisp voice and waved to him. Liu Shihua was really happy to see his sister come to pick him up. He quickly said goodbye to his coworkers and ran to his sister.
"Lele, why did you come here? It's very close to the school. I can go back by myself." He was worried about his younger sister, but his words sounded reproachful.
Liu Shile secretly rolled her eyes. This second brother is really something. If he treats his girlfriend like this in the future, she'll probably spit in his face. What a hopeless case!
