As soon as the man finished speaking, several people around him expressed their desire to ask Uncle Chu to help make a cart, and Chu Jie agreed with a smile.
"Yes, yes, but it may take a little longer. It takes several days to make a cart..."
Several people smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, we're not in a hurry..."
Chu Tian saw Chu Jie had become friends with the other team members, he lowered his head and smiled, thinking that Chu Jie was really good. Look, we just handed him a ladder, and he can climb up immediately...
In Xinjiang, if you don't live near the mountains, there is no place to collect firewood, and the nearest mountain to their team is Xishan, which is more than ten kilometers away. However, the group chatted and laughed and got there in two hours. When they reached the foot of the mountain, everyone dispersed and went their separate ways.
Chu Tian looked helplessly at Chu Jie who was following behind him, "Brother Jie, there are so many mountains, why are you following me?"
Chu Jie raised his chin and said, "Brother Weiguo can follow, why can't I follow?"
Sun Weiguo scratched his head and said helplessly, "Then, then I'll leave?"
Chu Jie smiled and said, "No need..."
“·····”
Chu Tian was too lazy to pay attention to Chu Jie. He took a machete in his hand and strode towards the mountain. When he saw some large dead branches, he cut them down and piled them up in one place, and then tied them up when he went down the mountain...
"Hey, hey, there's a wild rabbit..."
"Oh, Brother Jie, you are so awesome..."
Chu Tian was stunned when he heard Sun Weiguo's voice coming from a distance. He turned around and saw Chu Jie holding a gray-eared rabbit with a smile on his face. He couldn't help but think that Chu Jie was lucky. He even caught a wild rabbit?
Sun Weiguo ran to Chu Tian and shouted excitedly, "Brother Tian, Brother Tian, did you see that? Brother Jie just threw a stone and knocked the rabbit unconscious..."
Chu Tian raised his eyebrows, glanced at Chu Jie who was tying up the rabbit, and said with a smile, "That's pretty impressive."
Sun Weiguo's face was full of admiration. "Yes, yes, it's amazing... I've never seen anyone in our team catch a rabbit so easily..."
Chu Tian was amused. "People caught them and ate them secretly. Who would dare to publicize it?"
Although there is no clear indication whether the wild animals caught need to be handed in, everyone is very cautious. If they catch something, they either eat it secretly or sell it secretly. In short, no one is stupid enough to publicize it...
Sun Weiguo still sighed, "If only I could get a rabbit..."
Chu Tian continued chopping dead branches, and when he heard this, he asked, "Why? Do you want to eat rabbit meat?"
Sun Weiguo said disapprovingly, "Who wouldn't want to eat it? As long as it's meat, everyone would want to eat it, right?"
Chu Tian laughed. "I just saw the wild rabbit that Brother Jie was holding. I don't think it weighs more than three pounds. After skinning and gutting it, how much meat is left? Eat the bones!"
Sun Weiguo chuckled and said, "A little meat is still meat..."
Chu Tian turned around and looked at Sun Weiguo, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Tell me honestly, do you want to eat meat?"
Sun Weiguo nodded embarrassedly.
Chu Tian looked at Chu Jie who was more than ten meters away, thought for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Why? Do you want me to buy something for you?"
Sun Weiguo's eyes lit up. "Can we buy it? Hasn't the recent supply of supplies to Brother Li Gang been without meat?"
Chu Tian smiled and didn't explain why there was no meat in the recent supply. Instead, he asked, "I contacted my supplier, and he said he recently got a batch of goose meat. The quantity is not large, so he can only give me a few. Do you want some?"
Sun Weiguo nodded quickly, "Yes, how much is it?"
"My price is 80 cents per jin. A goose weighs about six jin. How many do you want?"
After a pause, Chu Tian continued, "I advise you to take two more. It's not winter yet, so the price isn't very high. When winter comes, the meat will be 80 cents a pound now, and you might not be able to buy it even if you double the price to 1.60."
Chu Tian didn't plan to continue selling the live chickens, ducks, and geese in his space in large quantities on the black market. It would take until the 1980s for them to be freely traded, which was nearly ten years away. There were only about 3,000 chickens, ducks, and geese left in his space. Besides eating them at home, he could also use them to visit relatives or build connections...
Sun Weiguo pondered for a moment and said, "My mother plans to give the two hens at home to my wife to eat after she gives birth. My mother-in-law also sent me a laying hen a few days ago. Otherwise, I want three? One for my mother-in-law, and two for the family. It can be regarded as exchanging the hens at home..."
Chu Tian nodded, "Okay, I'll give it to you tomorrow morning after you deliver the supplies."
Over here, Chu Jie came over carrying a large bundle of firewood, "Xiao Shi, how's your chopping going?"
Chu Tian pointed to a pile of dead branches on the ground and said, "It's not even enough for a whole truck. Brother Jie, you can take the firewood down first. I'll chop some more..."
Chu Jie nodded, "I'll help you carry it later."
After saying that, he carried the firewood and left without waiting for Chu Tian to answer.
In the main hall of the Yao family, Yao Youjun held his nephew Pingping in his arms. Looking at Yao Xiujuan, who was peeling potatoes with her younger sister, he asked, "Sister, when are you coming back?"
Yao Xiujuan asked without even looking up, "What's wrong? What's the matter?"
Yao Youjun shook his head. "What can I do? I was asking if you want to go with me? If you do, I'll send you back and then go back to the steel mill, so as to avoid having my brother-in-law make another trip..."
