Tang Xinmei refused without a second thought. In her words, even if Qiao Mo and the others didn't agree to her joining them, she would rather be tired and fight alone than get involved with them: that Liu Ruoling was a troublemaker. Not only was she lazy, but she also talked nonsense. She didn't want to be ordered around by her in the future, and she didn't want to be implicated by her one day.
Two days later, Qiao Mo received another package from Yang Weihua. In addition to two pieces of cloth with minor defects, there were also two kilograms of milk candy and one kilogram of white sugar. In his letter, he also vaguely mentioned that he was reselling things and made a little money, so he could come to him if he needed money in the future.
Qiao Mo didn't expect Yang Weihua to start a business so early. She didn't know what to say, but when she replied, she reminded him to be careful and that he could use the rent if he needed money. Then she looked at the things he sent and thought that he couldn't just take in without spending.
So, he entered the wooden bracelet space and packed some dried bamboo shoots and mushrooms that he had dried after coming here. He also took some red dates and walnuts from the room. After lifting them, they didn't seem too heavy. He also bought five pounds of chestnuts, packed them together, and prepared to send them across.
If she were to go to the town, she wanted to go to the black market. After all, there were so many things in the room that she couldn't stay there forever. If she had the chance, she would still like to exchange them for money.
So, she cut ten one-pound strips of pork belly from the meat section of the kitchen and put them in the backpack, covering it with some straw paper. She also took a fifty-pound bag of rice from the food section to see if it would fit in the backpack.
"Okay, let's try this out today." Qiao Mo was glad that her backpack was big enough, and then she took out the rice and put it aside.
She then found a vintage scale and an old enamel cup from the miscellaneous area and placed them next to them, ready to take them out together when the time came.
That day, during dinner, Tang Xinmei jokingly asked her, "Momo, what did your cousin send you?"
"It's nothing, just two pieces of cloth and two pounds of sugar." Qiao Mo also replied with a smile.
"Your cousin is really good to you." Tang Xinmei said enviously. Qiao Mo is just an orphan, but she has a cousin who cares about her. She has a large family, but none of them cares about her.
"It's not bad. By the way, I plan to take a trip to the town tomorrow and send some chestnuts to my cousin as a New Year's gift to him. Brother Yuan, is there anything you need me to bring?" Qiao Mo asked Kang Mingyuan and the others.
She had already sent the chestnuts and quercetin that the team collected, but the two sacks of chestnuts they brought out from the mountains were not sold on the black market. Instead, the three of them bought them as snacks. Because Qiao Mo worked harder and she was a girl, the two men thought she would like snacks more, so they gave her a sack.
"No need, we've bought everything we need." Kang Mingyuan and Han Yimo both shook their heads.
"Sister Xinmei, what about you?"
"Neither do I." Tang Xinmei nodded. If nothing unexpected happened, she would be back in two days. If she needed anything, she could bring it from Kyoto. It would be both economical and prestigious.
"I get up early every day, Sister Xinmei, so you don't have to make breakfast and lunch for me." Qiao Mo felt a lot more relieved when she heard that they didn't need to bring anything. She knew that the supply and marketing cooperatives were very busy at the end of the year, and she heard that you had to fight to buy things. She really didn't want to compete with others.
"Momo, are there many things you want to send? Do you want us to go with you?" Kang Mingyuan thought for a moment and asked.
"Not much, just about ten or eight kilograms. I can do it myself, no need for an accompaniment." Qiao Mo shook his head.
"Then you better be careful." Kang Mingyuan had no choice but to say.
