After riding the train for a day and night, he was very tired, but Xue Ming was in good spirits. The living environment in the mountain village was very different from that in the provincial capital.

The faces of passers-by on the street look very healthy, without the disheveled appearance and bloating of country people. There are few patches on the neat clothes. Bragi and khaki are everywhere.

Sitting on a three-wheeled rickshaw and looking at the buildings on the left and right, I felt like I didn't want to go home and wanted to bring my family to live in the provincial capital.

"Brother, have you been shocked by the prosperity of the provincial capital? Do you feel like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden?" Niu Baolin looked embarrassed.

"Do you think I'm a country bumpkin?" Xue Ming sneered. The provincial capital in front of him was not as prosperous as the fourth-tier county towns in the 21st century.

"Tomorrow I will push the bicycle, and the day after tomorrow I will go to the pastoral area to get cattle and sheep. You can play for a few more days before leaving." Niu Baolin laughed.

Along the way, Xue Ming saw a three-story building. Niu Baolin introduced, "That's a department store. If you can't find what you want to buy there, you don't have to go elsewhere."

"Are you so awesome?" Xue Ming knew that the department store was a supply and marketing cooperative in the city. There were people coming and going and a lot of bicycles parked in front of the door. The business was definitely not bad.

The rickshaw rider struck up a conversation, "Young comrade is probably not from the provincial capital. The department store received 10 people on its opening day. It was so crowded that I couldn't walk at all."

When passing by a community, the rider said, "This is the home of the Woodpecker Firecracker Factory. Comrades, you know about the Woodpecker Firecracker Factory?"

"I know." The Guangming Town Supply and Marketing Cooperative was selling woodpecker firecrackers. Xue Ming decided to go to the family yard to sell wild boar meat, and then go to the department store to sell the three kilograms of deer antlers.

Ten minutes later, the rickshaw turned into a small alley and stopped in front of a courtyard. Niu Baolin got out of the car and paid, and asked Xue Ming to come in with a stern look on his face.

Surrounded by houses is a courtyard in the middle. Xue Ming did not expect that Niu Baolin also had a courtyard house in the provincial capital. "Brother Niu is indeed very wealthy."

"You're lucky enough to get a house." Niu Baolin laughed, "I can build a courtyard at home, and I won't have to worry about marrying a beautiful wife."

"You can build a house, just marry a wife." Since grandma came to live in the house, I have been a little nervous, but now I have to solve the food problem, first upgrade the farmland in the space and then talk about other things.

Niu Baolin arranged Xue Ming to the east wing, ordered his bodyguard to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, then cooked two side dishes himself, and after dinner went out to contact the bicycle.

Xue Ming went into the space to take a bath, and took out a fan of wild boar meat from the well, as well as the pig's head, pig water, and steel scales.

I walked to the courtyard of the firecracker factory without being followed by bodyguards. If the 300 kilograms of wild boar meat were not sold, it would no longer be fresh.

The firecracker factory is a high-risk occupation, with good benefits and high wages. The entire family compound is a two-story courtyard.

Find a secluded place, take out the sack from the space, knock on the door of a random house, "Hello, is there anyone at home?"

The door opened, and a woman holding a child widened her eyes. The baby in her arms giggled and begged for a hug.

Xue Ming knew this child and gave him two toffees on the train. The child's father gave Xue Ming two leek and mushroom buns. "What a coincidence. Sister, do you still remember me?"

"Comrade Xue Ming? Come in and have a sip of tea!" Chen Wenjing shouted to the main room, "Dashun, come out quickly, we have a visitor at home."

Soon, four people came out of the door of the main room, the eight-year-old daughter Lu Zhaodi, the male host Lu Shun and his old parents.

"Brother Xue!" Lu Shun ran over to shake hands. Xue Ming's chatting and laughing with the Japanese on the train left a deep impression on him. "Brother, welcome to my home!"

Guests cannot enter empty-handed. Xue Ming took out 5 toffees from his pocket and gave them to Lu Zhaodi.Milk candy is a high-end food. Lu Shun's parents hurriedly invited Xue Ming into the house for tea.

After chatting for ten minutes, Lu Shun got to the point, "My accent sounds like I'm not from the provincial capital. Are you coming to visit relatives in the provincial capital?"

Xue Ming took out the wild boar head from the sack and placed it on the table. The huge pig head and its sinister tusks shocked the Lu family.

Then he took out 150 kilograms of wild boar meat and said, "I killed a pig in my hometown and came to the provincial capital to pay for my brother's tuition."

The Lu family continued to be shocked. The policy did not allow individuals to sell pork, but it did not prohibit the sale of wild boar, but it was a bit sensitive.

Old Mrs. Lu lay on the meat and smelled it, "It's very fresh and hasn't changed in flavor. Shunzi bought a few kilograms of meat to satisfy the child's craving. Last time, your dad waited in line all night and couldn't buy any meat."

"Brother, tell me the price." Lu Shun was nervous. The pork provided by the food station was too unreliable. There were so few people and so many people queuing to buy the meat that it was impossible to buy it. The family had not eaten meat for two months.

Xue Ming stretched out his index finger and said, "One yuan per catty is free of charge. If you exchange three catties of wheat for one catty of meat, I can give you half a catty more pig heart."

The price of meat in the provincial capital is 0.45 yuan plus a meat coupon. Wild boar is higher-end than local pork. It is reasonable to sell it for one yuan a pound without a meat coupon. Lu Shun patted his thigh and said, "Here are 20 pounds of hind legs."

Mr. Lu said, "Wen Jing, give Xiaobei to your mother, and go and call your eldest brother and sister-in-law."

Chen Wenjing gave her youngest son to the old lady and took her daughter out to call her eldest uncle to come buy meat.

Xue Ming used a boning knife to cut the meat, weighed it for 10 kilograms, and then cut into half a kilogram of pig heart. Lu Shun went back to the back room to get money to pay the bill.

"Brother Shun, don't you want to exchange for food?" Xue Ming wanted food more than Qian, and wanted to complete the small goal of stocking 3 tons of food.

Lu Shun shook his head, "Our family only has a monthly ration of 135 kilograms of wheat, which is barely enough for us, brother."

On average, adults eat one pound of wheat a day. It is really stressful for the four adults and two children of the Lu family to eat 150 pounds. Xue Ming did not expect that the food supply in the city would be so tight.

Chen Wenjing came in with three women and two men, including her eldest brother and sister-in-law.

There was an explosion at the firecracker factory half a month ago, and the eldest brother Lu Qiang lost three fingers. The other two women and one man came to visit Lu Qiang. They heard that they could buy wild boar meat, so they followed him.

"Give me whatever is left of your hind legs. I have many children." Lu Qiang's hands were wrapped in thick gauze.

After trimming 30 kilograms of hind legs, Xue Ming took out two more kilograms of pig blood, "The meat is 30 kilograms, and the pig blood will be given to my eldest brother for free to replenish blood."

Although pig blood is not valuable, it is also very fishy. Lu Qiang and his wife were very happy. Sister Lu pointed at the flour bag and said, "Brother Xue said how much wheat is in the bag."

Xue Ming immediately weighed the weight and said, "Sister-in-law, look, 54 pounds of wheat can be exchanged for 18 pounds of meat. Please give me another 12 yuan."

Mrs. Lu poured the wheat into Xue Ming's sack, carried the pig's hind legs and left happily.

The aunt who was traveling with me said, "Comrade, my wife has a good relationship with Daqiang. If I buy 10 kilograms of meat, you have to give me pig blood."

The young man said, "I also bought 10 pounds and gave me pig blood. I will go home and ask my sister's family to come over and buy meat."

"No problem." Xue Ming agreed readily. Three pounds of the total 8 pounds of pig blood were fed with rhubarb. This stuff is really not delicious.

The two women each asked for 10 kilograms of meat, and they really brought new customers to buy meat. It seemed that the pig blood was not given away for free.

The spread spread from person to person, and soon the yard was full of people, some exchanging grain, some using money to buy, and some exchanging various bills such as industrial tickets and cloth tickets.

Xue Ming accepted the order and decided to go shopping in the department store after selling the meat. It was a rare trip to the provincial capital to buy some interesting gifts for his family.
