Chapter 516: Cunning Zhou Mingxuan
Finally, all the prey was processed. Liu Jingxue couldn't help but sigh, "I feel a little tired just using my mind to process so much meat in space. In a few days, I will have to process the prey I get from the mountains with those two people myself outside, which will be even more tiring."
She was a little worried that she would be too busy to handle the food. But she couldn't just leave it alone. In such a hot day, if she didn't salt the meat quickly, it would go bad.
Tuanzi comforted him, "Master, don't worry. There won't be so many prey by then, and you won't be the only one to handle it. There are so many people."
"I went into the mountains with Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao. I couldn't use the space to get so many prey, and I couldn't let the villagers find out. Otherwise, I'm afraid they would have to hand it over to the production team. In this case, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back until dark.
Those guys in the cowshed had already worked a day and had to go to work again early the next morning. They were not like the three of us who could not go if they wanted to.
In my opinion, I should handle it on my side so as not to disturb their rest.
This way, there are only me, Zhou Mingxuan, and Zhao Junhao. We will have a lot of time to deal with all the prey."
"Master, you can avoid them and secretly use your spiritual sense to help. This will speed up the process and make it easier for you."
"It can't be too obvious. If it's too fast, it will arouse their suspicion.
We’ll see how the situation develops when the time comes. Anyway, I’m strong and have spiritual power to help me, so I won’t be too tired.
But those two will probably be exhausted." Liu Jingxue gloated.
"But that's what he deserves. If he wants to be filial to his parents and take care of his family, he has to move around more and work harder, otherwise they will think it's easy to eat this bacon."
"Master is right."
"I don't know if those two have brought the salt back. They need to buy so much salt at once. Where did they get so many salt tickets?"
“Master, don’t worry about this. Since the two of them dare to take on this task, they must be fully confident.
Even if they can't get it in the end, we have so much stored in our space, we can find an excuse to take it out when the time comes."
At this time, Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao were hiding in a deserted courtyard in the town. On the back seat of their bicycles, there was a bag tied to each of them, and the bag was full of salt.
"Mingxuan, we need 100 kilograms of salt at once. Can we use so much?"
“Salt can be stored for a long time. If you don’t use it all up, just leave it there. You don’t have to use it all up at once.
We estimate that there will be many days in the future when we need to use salt to pickle meat. Not to mention other things, just take the winter as an example, when we have winter hunting and fishing, we need to separate meat and fish.
Didn’t you hear them say that they distributed meat and fish several times last winter, and everyone in the educated youth site got a lot.
We will definitely go hunting in the mountains often. If we don’t have more salt at home, what will we do if we don’t have enough salt when we need it.”
"Hearing what you said, I feel that this hundred kilograms of salt seems a little too little.
How about we talk to that guy and ask him to get us some more?"
Zhou Mingxuan thought for a while and said, "Let's wait for a while. I'm sure we won't be able to use up all the salt this time.
Salt is essential for every household. The amount of salt shipped here is limited. If we get too much, there may be shortages in some places. We can't do that.
We'll find him again after some time and get another batch."
“Okay, it’s up to you.
So when do we leave for home?" Zhao Junhao asked.
"Wait a little longer, until there are fewer people on the road, then we can go back.
After returning to the production team, we should not rush home. We should wait outside first. After dark, when the villagers all stay at home, we can go back.
Otherwise, if we bring back so much salt, others will know that we are going to do something big in the mountains.
After all, if we add salt when cooking, this amount of salt will be enough for us to use for several years.
Better be careful to avoid getting into trouble."
Zhao Junhao nodded in agreement, "Mingxuan, you are very thoughtful. If I were alone, I would have gone back directly."
"Everywhere is a mess right now. No matter what you do, you have to be careful."
The two men waited in the abandoned house for a while, and around five o'clock in the afternoon, they left the town before the workers got off work and rode slowly towards the production team.
At this time, the people from the production team who went to the town had already returned.
After all, the main means of transportation at that time was on foot, and a small part was by ox cart. The town was a certain distance away from each production team. If you went back too late and walked at night, it would be very dangerous in that era.
Firstly, I am afraid of encountering gangsters and thugs on the road. Secondly, there are many mountains and forests in the Northeast, and walking at night may lead to encountering animals coming down the mountain, which is quite dangerous.
Therefore, unless one is someone with someone to rely on, or is traveling in a group, people generally do not dare to walk at night.
The two men rode their bicycles, and even if they went at a slower speed, they would reach the production team in about an hour, before it got dark. They hid in the nearby mountains, and after dark, they sneaked into the village without anyone noticing.
I have to say, the two of them had a good plan.
The two of them rode along the way and naturally started chatting.
"Mingxuan, where are you going to send the bacon and mountain products?
I'm going to send some home."
"Then don't worry about your brother or sister."
"They are all eating in the army cafeteria. There is no place to get them if we send them to them."
“You are stupid, they won’t take it to the cafeteria and ask someone to process it.
Besides, they must have comrades who are married or joining the army. When the time comes, they can share the meals there and have something to eat.
If you don't send them something to benefit them, how can you get money from them?
We didn't spend much money, just a little effort, but the troops are also very short of troops. You don't understand the principle of making a small effort to gain a big return.
"Could it be that you have too much money and you are anxious to burn it? If you think it's too much, you can give it to me, I don't mind." Zhou Mingxuan said with a look of disappointment.
Zhao Junhao was delighted when he heard this, "Mingxuan, you are really smart, why didn't I think of that?
Then I will also send it to my brothers and sisters. Not only that, I also have to send it to my uncles, aunts, cousins, and sisters. I have to cast a wide net and catch more fish.
Even if they each gave me a little, I would have given it to them.”
"You're not stupid, kid.
This is my plan. Apart from my family, I don't plan to let any of my uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters go.
After sending it, I wrote a letter back to tell my grandfather that I had sent them meat and mountain products, and told him how hard I had worked in the fields here, and how I finally had some time to rest. I was also thinking about how it was not easy for them to get meat, and how they dragged their tired bodies into the mountains to hunt and collect mountain products, and I just wanted them to eat better.
I also told him that during this period I got up early every day to learn martial arts from Xiaoxue, studied with my grandfather at night, went to work and went into the mountains during the day, and my life was very fulfilling.
I don't believe that my grandfather doesn't love me, his grandson. If he loves me, he will give me more money and tell other people to give me more good things.
Thinking about the money and other good things he would get soon, Zhou Mingxuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
When Zhao Junhao heard what he said, he held the handlebars with one hand and gave Zhou Mingxuan a thumbs up with the other hand, "You are awesome."
Zhou Mingxuan didn't blush at all, "We want to do big business in the future, so we have to save up some capital now."
"Mingxuan, do you think the policy will really be relaxed in the future and private businesses will be allowed?" Zhao Junhao was a little bit unbelieving.
“Don’t worry, didn’t you hear grandpa say that it’s only a matter of time?
Don’t you see that our country is now doing business with foreigners and wants to earn more foreign exchange? Since we can do business with foreigners, allowing private business in the country is not a matter of sooner or later, it just needs to be done step by step.
So, what we need to do now is to save more money so that we can make great achievements in the future."
"Then I'll listen to you and send them more money."
