Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

Lin Qing went into the house and carried the little girl out. The little girl was very interested in her father's panda eyes.

"Ah, don't touch..."

Lin Qing obviously didn't expect that the little girl not only looked at his face with flickering eyes, but also stretched out her little hands to grab it.

He was caught off guard and was directly attacked by the little girl. He started screaming and shouting.

"Come, give me a hug. This girl rarely sees outsiders. Let her get used to it."

Chen Xu looked at the little girl who was stuffed into his arms, speechless. You, as a father, are a bit of a jerk. Don’t you see that the little girl doesn’t dare to move now? She looks at her mother helplessly with her big eyes.

Lin Qing didn't notice Xiaomianao's embarrassment at all. He squatted down next to Chen Xu and started talking to himself.

"sister..."

Noticing Lin Chan's cold gaze, Lin Qing changed his words in time.

"Brother, let me tell you, you have found the right person. I can't tell you how much I have, but I still have some prey."

Chen Xu didn't have time to pay attention to this guy at the moment. The little girl in his arms was about to cry, and he was busy coaxing her.

It doesn’t matter if there is no sugar, this guy just took out a white flour bun from his arms and stuffed it into the little girl’s hand.

The little girl looked at the extra steamed bun in her hand in confusion. It looked white and plump, very different from the steamed buns she usually ate.

The others were not surprised that Chen Xu could take out the steamed buns from his arms. How could he go out without some dry food? Although it was somewhat unusual to bring white flour steamed buns, people usually brought corn bread or something like that, which could be stored for a long time and were not easy to go bad.

Moreover, those who can still eat white flour nowadays are not ordinary people.

"Eat."

Chen Xu touched the little girl's head, but the little girl didn't eat. Instead, she looked at her mother until the young woman nodded.

"Thank you uncle."

The little girl thanked Chen Xu in a childish voice, then slowly and leisurely tore off the steamed bun and ate it in small bites.

Chen Xu had a better impression of Lin Qing's family. At least their education was better than that of ordinary families.

Think about the great jokes in the courtyard...

Chen Xu had been in Siheyuan for a long time, and although he had seen the kid Banggeng, he had never dealt with him. He just remembered his glorious deeds. Although he was not as good as the later Thief Saint, he was also very naughty. How could he be as sensible as the little girl in front of him.

And this little girl is probably about three years old now, while Banggeng is already in primary school.

After comforting the little girl, Chen Xu looked at Lin Qing, who looked a little embarrassed.

Obviously, this guy knew that he was being hasty and was somewhat impulsive in handing his daughter into the arms of a stranger.

"You have a lot of prey here?"

"It's not a lot, but I have some in stock. Do you want some dry goods?"

"want."

Chen Xu is very direct. Not only dry goods but also wet goods, he wants all kinds of game.

"That's fine. I'm not bragging, but hunters like us are better at hunting. Chan Ya... ahem, Lin Chan only knows how to use brute force. She can't compare to us."

Lin Chan next to him rarely refuted. Obviously, what Lin Qing said was not wrong.

After all, warriors are not as good as these hunters in the mountains. After all, everyone has their own specialties. Hunters are like fish in water in the mountains, but this kind of environment in the mountains is a restriction for Lin Chan.

However, Lin Chan's fighting skills are high enough. If they encounter a tiger or something, hunters like Lin Qing generally will not target it. After all, tigers are top predators, and they may not be safe even if they have guns. It's okay to go with a group, but it's better to be careful when alone.

After all, this is reality. We all have only one life, and no one wants to sacrifice themselves easily.

Lin Chan didn't have such concerns, she just went up and started beating the tiger. Although Lin Chan couldn't kill the tiger in the mountains, it was their home ground after all, and she would be helpless if the tiger went anywhere. But the tiger couldn't do anything to her either, so it could only run away.

This is an invisible extra protection. After all, there are many wild animals in the mountains. It is already troublesome to guard against snakes and insects at ordinary times. It is even more dangerous if you encounter wild animals from time to time.

Chen Xu had previously planned to go into the mountains, but now that plan has been abandoned.

He felt that he might not be able to come back alive if he went into the mountains. Who knew if he would be bitten by something that was hard to detect? If it was poisonous, he would be dead.

This job is obviously not suitable for me, so it’s better not to take the risk.

The main reason is that the rewards are not proportional to the efforts. If he really had no other choice, he might take the risk. Now that he is on the right track, he naturally doesn't want to do something that may cost him his life.

Lin Qing did have a lot of dry goods, ranging from rabbits, pheasants to venison, and he even saw eggs.

“You still raise chickens?”

"Uh, this is a pheasant egg."

Lin Qing looked at him speechlessly. Obviously, he was troubled by the fact that Chen Xu couldn't even tell the difference between pheasant eggs.

Compared to domestic chicken eggs, pheasant eggs generally appear smaller and darker in color.

"But I won't sell this thing. I have to keep it for my family to replenish their health."

Lin Qing said.

Chen Xu nodded. There weren't actually many pheasant eggs here, only about a dozen or so. It didn't matter whether he collected them or not.

But a new problem has arisen: what is the price of the dry goods?

The two stared at each other for a while, and it was Lin Qing who spoke first.

"You don't know the price of dry goods?"

"How could I know? I have never received any dry goods!"

Lin Chan, who was standing next to her, held her forehead with her hand. She felt that this scene was somewhat familiar.

"I usually sell it at 80 cents at the commune, which is more expensive than other meats. You know, it needs to be rubbed with salt after drying to ensure it won't spoil for a long time. It's also lighter than other meats. If I sell it at the normal price, I'll definitely lose money."

Chen Xu nodded. He thought so too, but it was hard to say. After all, this period was not the future. Maybe the dry goods were cheaper now.

After all, in this situation, things like bacon may not be that expensive.

But Chen Xu was not in a hurry. Everything he purchased had been approved by his leader, so it was understandable that he quoted a higher price. Besides, it was only this time. He usually ran around more, so Lin Qing definitely did not have so much time to prepare the goods.

"Well, I'll take it for 90 cents this time, but you have to keep your prey for me in the future. I'll come here once a week at most."

"Okay, that's settled then."

Lin Qing agreed readily. In fact, he might not be able to sell it even if he took it to the commune.

These things are not easy to sell now. In fact, dried goods are not as easy to fill the stomach as fresh ones. People in the commune can't even get enough food, so how can they have the spare money to make good dishes? Otherwise, he would have sold them long ago.

Chen Xu was willing to pay 90 cents, which was already a rare high price.

All the junk weighed only about 40 kilograms. Chen Xu paid the bill and thought about what price he should quote when he got back.

One dollar and fifty cents, or two dollars?

Forget it, I’ll wait until I get back to ask about the situation. Anyway, he will definitely not lose money.

Moreover, he had no plan to take it out immediately after returning. His task for this month had been completed, and the things he purchased this time were naturally prepared for the future.

This kind of dry goods is simply impossible to get nowadays. Even if someone hunts wild game, they will sell it immediately even if they don’t eat it themselves. There is no reason to keep it. It is only Lin Qing, the guy who lives in the mountains, who kept a lot of it.

Having fewer things means that they are more valuable. Chen Xu plans to take out some at a time so that the factory won’t think that it is easy for him to acquire things.
