The envelope felt heavy and bulging, probably because it contained quite a lot of stuff.
Qin Zijin didn't think much about it and tore open the envelope directly.
Inside was a thick stack of bills neatly stacked together, as well as a large ball of unity.
Qin Zijin counted them quickly and found that there were hundreds of them.
She was confused and couldn't figure out who sent the letter, so she had to read the content first.
There wasn't much content above, but after Qin Zijin read it, he knew the other party's identity.
It was her childhood sweetheart, her fiancé Mo Qinghua.
This time, Mo Qinghua sent a letter to tell Qin Zijin that he had helped her get a place to return to the city, and that he was waiting for her to come back and get married at home.
Qin Zijin shook her head and put the letter into the space. As for the bills and money sent by Mo Qinghua, she did not touch them.
After all, she is already married and has children, so it is impossible for her to have any entanglement with Mo Qinghua.
As for the money and bills, please send them back together when you write a letter home.
After putting away the letter, Qin Zijin quickly put Mo Qinghua's matter behind him.
Life is a problem nowadays, so there is no time to think about love.
“Woof woof woof—”
Qin Zijin had just put the letter away when the sound of a dog barking was heard at the door.
The voice was very familiar, it was the voice of the big yellow dog at home.
She stood up and walked to the door, and saw the big yellow dog rushing in, wagging its tail and looking very happy.
A familiar figure followed behind him, it was Tang Shen.
Tang Shen was holding two hares and a pheasant in his hands, and had a backpack full of dry branches on his back.
Qin Zijin's eyes were attracted by the two struggling hares, and he couldn't help swallowing hard.
Meat!
In that era, supplies were scarce and it was difficult to eat meat. Each person had a fixed monthly meat ticket of only half a pound. Moreover, if you went too late, you might not be able to grab it because there was only so much meat and there was not enough to go around.
Looking at the two wild rabbits, several dish names appeared in Qin Zijin's mind.
Braised rabbit meat, spicy rabbit head, cold rabbit...
She walked out quickly, looked at the game in Tang Shen's hand, and asked excitedly, "A good harvest today?"
"I'm pretty lucky. I had just set the trap when a hare and pheasant jumped in by themselves without any effort. I'll put the things down first." Tang Shen was in a good mood.
He himself was a little surprised at his luck.
After all, at this season, there is really little game in the mountains, especially pheasants and rabbits. It is very difficult to catch them.
He didn't have any hope when he entered the mountain, but he didn't expect to get a pleasant surprise.
The two hares seemed to have jumped into the trap on their own initiative, and so did the pheasant.
Tang Shen had never seen such a thing before, and could only attribute it to his good luck.
"It's still alive. I can keep it and eat it slowly." Qin Zijin started to feel hungry when he thought of all the delicious dishes made with rabbit meat.
Tang Shen smiled and nodded, then took the things into the house.
The two hares had their feet tied with vines so they couldn't run away. The pheasant's wings were also tied and thrown to the ground, and it started flapping its wings.
Tang Shen took off the backpack on his back and removed the dry branches on the surface. It was full of various dried mushrooms and fungus.
Qin Zijin's eyes lit up. "There are so many mountain products in the mountains? Did you go to the mountains to buy some?"
"I'm particularly lucky today." Tang Shen scratched his head. Seeing Qin Zijin happy, he felt happy too.
"That's great. Is this a matsutake mushroom? You also picked up some Ganoderma lucidum?" Qin Zijin looked through the things in the backpack, and the more he looked, the more frightened he became.
She even suspected that Tang Shen was possessed by a koi, otherwise how could he have such a good harvest?
He went out to the mountains in the morning, and it was only eleven o'clock now. In three hours, he caught two rabbits and a pheasant, and picked up a basket of various mountain products. This is simply unscientific.
"I don't usually have such luck. I don't know what happened today, but these mushrooms and black fungus are all gathered together in groups. And the matsutake mushrooms are also rare to see. This time I just dug out a bunch of them. Ganoderma lucidum is also hidden in the dead leaves. You can use them to make soup to nourish your body, or grind them into powder and drink it with water." Tang Shen talked seriously about his experience in the mountains.
The more Qin Zijin listened, the more incredible it seemed to him.
This is simply incredible luck.
"Put the things away for now. Sister Cuicui said she's going to town in a couple of days, so we should sell some of them for some money. Mengmeng and Xiaoxuan need new cotton-padded jackets. It's so cold in winter, and it'll be hard for them to get through it wearing these. We also need some new things for the house, as everything costs money."
"As for the wild rabbits, I suggest selling one and keeping the other. As for the wood ear mushrooms, keep some for yourself and take the rest out to sell. You should be able to make some money. As for the matsutake mushrooms, I'll go to the state-owned restaurant and ask if they'll take them. I'll see if I can get a good price for them."
Qin Zijin was calculating how much these things could be sold for, but she didn't know much about the prices in that era, so she would just ask Miao Cuicui when the time comes.
Tang Shen naturally had no objection to Qin Zijin's decision.
"Then I'll go to the mountains again in the afternoon and see if I can find some more wood ear mushrooms." Tang Shen poured out everything in the backpack.
"I'll go with you. Mengmeng and Xiaoxuan can stay next door for a while. We'll come back early to pick them up. The two of us should be able to find more." Qin Zijin also wanted to go to the mountains to take a look. She had always wanted to pick mushrooms in the mountains in the past. Unfortunately, there were no mountains around the city where she lived. Now she finally had the chance.
Tang Shen hesitated for a moment, looking at Qin Zijin's expectant eyes, and finally couldn't bear to refuse, so he nodded and agreed.
"Okay, but you have to follow me closely. It's still very dangerous in the mountains in winter, and you have never been to the mountains." After thinking it over again and again, Tang Shen agreed.
Qin Zijin felt so happy that his mouth was watering as he stared at the fat hare.
It’s a pity that we don’t have any spices at home. There are very few ginger, onion, garlic and other things, and they are not cheap after all.
It seems I will have to borrow some from Miao Cuicui when the time comes.
When I go out to town in a couple of days, I must find a way to exchange some daily necessities from the system mall and bring them back.
Therefore, you still need to be more hands-on these two days and cook more dishes to accumulate some points so that you can have the opportunity to redeem good things.
Qin Zijin had already made up his mind to use this wild rabbit to make a whole rabbit banquet.
