Ye Zhiqiu was completely dumbfounded by what this man named Xu Tiejun said. It turned out that the 416th Regiment used to be a self-sufficient unit and a reinforced regiment of nearly 5,000 people.
It’s hard to say about the location, but the location of their troops this year suffered from a locust plague!
All green things were completely destroyed by the insect plague! Although they were given special approval for food, they didn't approve much meat and vegetables, so it was just a drop in the bucket!
So their regiment applied and was allowed to raise funds on their own, and that’s how the troops came to purchase supplies.
Ye Zhiqiu thought for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Will you not be investigated for purchasing supplies?"
Xu Tiejun patted his chest and said, "With this military certificate, who would dare to come and investigate? If your village still has rabbits or other supplies, I can collect them from you!"
"But I can't get many rabbits right now! We can get rabbits in our village, but we don't have any now. We also have dried vegetables like dried radish. Do you want any?"
"I've been purchasing supplies in the capital for a long time. You can always come to Building 8 opposite the military headquarters to find me. We have a small office there.
As long as it's vegetables and meat, we'll buy whatever it is! Don't worry about the price, we have plenty of money. The grain our regiment used to grow was used to support other brother units."
Ye Zhiqiu wrote down the address and said that he would go back to the village to discuss it. If there were any rabbits, he could come to him again. Then he left Tianqiao Pigeon Market.
Ye Zhiqiu was still a little worried, so he planned to go back and ask Wang Fugui, because in his opinion, Wang Fugui was a know-it-all and would know something no matter what he was asked.
He didn't ask him directly for the information of the 416th Regiment, but asked if there was such a situation. If there was such a situation, he really wanted to give them some of the rabbits in the space!
Ye Zhiqiu is not worried about selling rabbits, because the rabbits raised now are all foreign rabbits introduced by the country!
What he sells are local wild rabbits, which are not under control. We can't have to investigate if someone kills a few wild rabbits, right?
So as long as it's not too exaggerated, Ye Zhiqiu really wants to sell a batch of them. There are more than 20,000 in stock, plus those that are still alive and reproducing, and the exact number has not been counted yet!
If there were too many rabbits, they would cause great harm to the space. If it weren't for the wolves' disappointment, he would have wanted to raise them to control the rabbit population.
Ye Zhiqiu looked at the time. It was only twelve o'clock. He started riding out of the city. He had originally planned to collect ice in the evening, but he really couldn't wait so late.
So after riding for more than an hour, he put away his bike and started walking down to the river.
After turning a corner, Ye Zhiqiu looked around. There were hills on the left and woods on the right. No one could see the scenery here.
He began to collect the ice on the river! One by one, he cleared an area in no time.
It’s even worse than what Wang Fugui said. The ice layer is more than one meter thick!
Ye Zhiqiu suddenly had an idea and put more than a pound of flour into the river to see if there would be any fish to eat it. But not long after, he was shocked!
Because there were too many fish! With just one thought, he collected countless fish into the space!
But it was only this time, and when I collected it again, it was gone! Ye Zhiqiu thought about it and wondered if this situation was caused by the removal of the ice layer here, and the fish around were gathered.
If that was the case, Li Feng thought that he could just keep copying!
Ye Zhiqiu did it as soon as he thought of it. He started to go ashore and walk down. He went up the river section by section and collected countless fish. He really couldn't estimate how many they were.
Countless ice cubes were collected and stored in the bubbles. Later in the summer, they would be divided into small pieces and could be pretended to be ice cubes brought back from the ice factory.
Although they had been busy for a long time and it was already four o'clock, Ye Zhiqiu still wanted to continue. However, after crossing another bay, he saw seven or eight people dragging nets, and they didn't look strong enough.
Ye Zhiqiu released his bicycle and pushed it over, shouting, "Comrade, do you need any help?"
The people who were pulling the rope turned around and looked over when they heard his shout.
He immediately shouted happily, "Comrade, come and help us! We have been busy all day and haven't eaten anything. We don't have the energy to drag the net. Madai, come and give us a hand!"
Ye Zhiqiu knew what was going on as soon as he saw it, so he pushed his bicycle to the side, parked it, and then helped to tow it.
The strength coming from his hands made Ye Zhiqiu exclaim in amazement, "Good boy! You must have caught a lot of fish this time, otherwise it wouldn't be so strenuous!"
"Hehe, we were crazy today too, even throwing our lunch away as bait. But we didn't expect to get hungry so quickly. Everyone was so weak that we almost couldn't do it!"
Ye Zhiqiu shouted, "Come on, one, two, three, push hard! One, two, three, push hard!"
With his help, the fishing net finally started to work, and then things got better and better!
Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile: "Dude, you guys are too crazy, right? Such a long net, no wonder it's so hard!"
"Hey, we took the day off today and wanted to catch more fish, so we combined our two nets into one. We were really greedy!"
When the two gill nets were pulled up together, Ye Zhiqiu was very surprised, because they had caught quite a lot of fish!
With eight people working, he thought there were at least four or five hundred kilograms of fish in the net. That was a lot of fish!
"Thank you, buddy. We don't have anything else, so we'll just get you some fish to eat!"
Ye Zhiqiu was about to refuse, but then he thought that if he didn't accept it, they might be worried!
Because the fish in the river belong to the nearby commune, they chose this remote place, so to speak, they came to steal the fish!
After realizing this, Ye Zhiqiu said frankly, "Well, I came here just for the thank you fish. I was crossing the river above so that it would be closer to the city.
Seeing you guys stealing fish, I had to join in the fun. At least by lending a hand I could earn a few fish to eat. If it were you guys, you'd have to go too, right?"
After hearing Ye Zhiqiu's words, the people who had originally looked at him unfriendly finally smiled.
They were not afraid that Ye Zhiqiu wanted the fish, but they were afraid that he was the kind of stubborn person who would go to other people's commune to report them, and then they would be in big trouble!
"We have no choice but to do this. We are really short of money. Don't be disgusted, brother. We will pick out some big fish for you."
"Alright, give as much as you like. More is never too much, and less is never too little! I'm not taking advantage of your misfortune. I took your fish and boarded your boat. If anything goes wrong, I'm an accomplice. Isn't that right, everyone?"
"Hey, that's the truth! Old Yang picked two more for this brother. We can't let him take the blame and suffer in vain!"
"Okay!"
