"What happened in the past is in the past. What exactly do you want to say today?" Qiao Mo knew that they definitely didn't just want to apologize, and if they didn't, they wouldn't wait for a day.
"Qiao Mo, we don't mean anything else. It's just that the conditions here are too harsh. I want to have a chance to follow Kang Mingyuan and the others to the mountains to hunt some small animals to improve my life. Can you put in a few good words for me and ask them to take me with them? Don't worry, I will never let their efforts be in vain." Chu Maoshen stated his purpose.
"I really can't do anything about this. If you want to go into the mountains with them, just tell them directly. There's no need to go through me. I have no influence on them and can't help you." Qiao Mo didn't expect that he was planning this.
"Qiao Mo, we are all from Donghai and we came here together. Why can't you help us? Are you happy to see that we are not doing well?" Liu Ruoling got angry when she saw that she had apologized to her but she still didn't help.
"I'm just teaming up with them, how could I possibly influence their decision? Besides, Kang Mingyuan and Han Yimo are not tigers and won't eat people. Why don't they go directly to them if there is something, but instead let me pass the message between them? Is it to confirm what Liu Ruoling said that day?" Qiao Mo's face also darkened.
"Qiao Mo, we didn't mean that, it's just..." Chu Maoshen wanted to explain, but he saw Tang Xinmei coming over, so he had to shut up.
"Qiao Mo, you have a good learning ability. You dug so many for the first time." Tang Xinmei said in surprise when she saw the bamboo shoots in Qiao Mo's basket.
"Sister Xinmei taught me well." Qiao Mo said with a smile, "Let's go back."
Back at the educated youth site, Kang Mingyuan and Han Yima had already returned. Seeing leaves still stuck in Qiao Mo's hair, they said distressedly, "If you want to eat winter bamboo shoots, you can dig them up when we get back."
"I was bored staying at home, so I wanted to go to the mountain to have a look. Unexpectedly, I was lucky." Qiao Mo put the winter bamboo shoots in the corner of the kitchen, and then went to the river to dig some sand to bury them. This way, he could harvest them for two months.
"Winter bamboo shoots can also be sold for money. Let's go up the mountain to dig them tomorrow." Han Yimo looked at the winter bamboo shoots in the basket as if he saw countless great bamboo shoots flying towards him.
"How much is the price?" Qiao Mo asked. She knew that this thing would be very expensive in the future, but it should not be sold at a high price now.
"The price is acceptable. It can be sold for two or three cents per pound. Moreover, this thing is weighed. If you are lucky, you can dig about a hundred pounds a day." Han Yima said excitedly.
They followed everyone to the mountains to dig winter bamboo shoots last year and have mastered some skills. Coupled with their extraordinary observation skills, digging winter bamboo shoots is a piece of cake for them.
"Okay, let's go up the mountain together tomorrow." Qiao Mo, with the idea that even a mosquito is small, it is still meat, prepared to follow them up the mountain.
Fortunately, the weather was good and it was cloudy for the next few days, which was a good time to go up the mountain. Qiao Mo and his friends took dry food and went up the mountain early in the morning, rushing to the bamboo forest in the inner mountain. They came out of the mountain in the evening and did not return to the educated youth site. Instead, they directly delivered the bamboo shoots and some small prey to the black market boss in the town.
Anyway, that person accepts everything. Although it is cheaper for them to deliver the items there, it is very convenient and safe.
In a blink of an eye, it was the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. Shao Lidong had completed all the formalities and was about to return to Kyoto. Qiao Mo thought that they had cooperated in Yanyang Mountain for a month and had developed some friendship, so he discussed with Kang Mingyuan and others to treat him to a farewell meal.
