Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons

She was worried about the possible food shortages that might follow.

"Everything went well?"

Zhang Laoer looked at the three pigs and the cart of grain, and felt relieved.

In fact, he was more worried than Aunt Guo.

What he was afraid of was that the grain stocks in the county grain store would run out, or that purchase restrictions would be implemented.

The purchase limit is easy to deal with, just find more people to spread out the purchase; if there is really no grain to sell, I am afraid that everyone will have to travel through mountains and rivers to nearby counties or even provincial capitals to find other ways out.

Hearing this, Guo Jiajie explained, "It went smoothly. We shouldn't have to worry too much about food in the future. When we were in the county, the owner of the grain store saw that we bought a lot and told us that their boss was from the south, where there was plenty of food and there would be no shortage of food."

Zhang Laoer observed that Guo Jiajie's expression was not entirely joyful. According to common sense, buying scarce supplies should be a happy thing, so why would he react like this?

Before Zhang Laoer could ask, Guo Jiajie poured out his experiences like a stream of beans from a bamboo tube: "You didn't see the attitude of the shopkeeper. We asked to buy 1,000 kilograms, but he persuaded us, saying that they had sufficient food and the store would not close, so we should not worry about running out of food. After a long negotiation, he was only willing to sell us 500 kilograms and asked us to buy more in a few days."

"I thought he was kind-hearted, but I didn't expect that businessmen are businessmen after all. After we completed the transaction, I thought about going to see if there was anyone selling vegetables nearby, after all, we didn't have many vegetables. As a result, I happened to hear the shopkeeper privately talking to his clerk, saying that the remaining grain in the warehouse would not be sold outside, and would be sold together with the new grain shipped from the south in two days, so that the profit would be higher."

At this point, Guo Jiajie seemed quite indignant and felt sorry for the expenses that could have been saved.

"Tell me, is this infuriating?"

"This kind of thing is very common in the business world. Why don't you ask Qi Kai?"

Zhang Laoer said calmly, after all, as long as it is not inferior goods passed off as good ones, it cannot be considered as fraud.

For Guo Jiajie, this experience may still feel new, but for Qi Kai, who is a butcher and has seen countless people, it has long been commonplace.

Seeing Qi Kai's indifferent expression, Guo Jiajie understood and laughed at himself: "Well, next time we have to be more generous and spend the money we have to."

There was really no way out. Faced with the current dilemma, everyone frowned and finally reached a consensus - since these pigs have been fat, they might as well slaughter them tomorrow and enjoy them.

The amount of meat from these three pigs is enough for everyone to have several delicious meals, which can satisfy your cravings and add some flavor to the monotonous days.

If I hadn't urged the aunties in the logistics department to add more meat, given their usual stingy nature, they would probably have wanted to save these pigs for other uses or simply let them fatten up.

However, let's put this matter aside for the time being. After all, the more urgent thing right now is to properly transport the freshly harvested grain to the logistics department.

As the pigsty was emptied, several strong men quickly built a simple pigpen next to the sheep house using the materials on hand. Although it was crude, it was sufficient to meet temporary needs.

What a rare good luck! Today, one thing after another happened. Just when everyone was busy setting up the new pigpen, the team that went up the mountain to collect winter bamboo shoots returned victoriously. Everyone's backpack was full of winter bamboo shoots. It seems that this year's harvest is good, even though most of the winter bamboo shoots in the mountains have been dug up.

Everyone sat together and discussed their next plan.

Should we go to the hilltop in the neighboring village and try our luck while the season is right?

After all, more remote places often mean fewer people and more resources.

Just as everyone was discussing the matter, a man who had returned earlier brought an exciting piece of news - in the sparsely populated forest ahead, there were several jujube trees full of ripe fruits, each of them bright red and extremely tempting.

Upon hearing the news, the group couldn't wait to head towards the unknown forest.

After arriving, everyone was pleasantly surprised by the sight before them: the branches of the jujube trees were dotted with red fruits. They picked one at random, wiped it gently on their lapels, and then put it into their mouths. It was crisp and sweet, and the taste was indescribable.

Needless to say, everyone took action spontaneously, some climbed to the top of the tree, some stood under the tree, and began to pick dates busily.

Due to insufficient preparation, each person only brought a basket or backpack with limited capacity, so everyone discussed and decided to come again tomorrow, bringing baskets and sacks, and be sure to pack up all the joy of the harvest and take away.

On the way back, Liu Mao inadvertently looked back and found a nest of rabbits hidden in a bush. This sudden surprise made his eyes light up.

As we all know, rabbits are smart and have many nests, but there was no shortage of experienced hunters in the team. They quickly made a plan and divided into several groups to surround the possible exits of the rabbit nests, leaving one natural passage, and the rest used smoke to force the rabbits to escape.

In a short while, one rabbit after another rushed out in panic from the only exit.

How could the people who had been waiting here let the delicious food slip away? They were quick-eyed and quick-handed, and soon they had a rich harvest.

A total of ten rabbits were captured, two of which had round bellies, obviously mothers about to give birth.

On this side, those who were unable to go up the mountain had just settled the pigs, and in the blink of an eye, they saw everyone returning with a full harvest, their faces filled with satisfaction and joy.

"Hey, what treasure did you get today?"

Mrs. Guo teased with a smile.

"Hey, Jiajie's, look for yourself."

One man proudly showed off the spoils in his backpack.

Mrs. Guo came forward curiously and saw three rabbits dying in the basket. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "Rabbits! Three of them. What a good harvest."

Liu Mao laughed naively, feeling very proud.

Others also came forward, vying to have Mrs. Guo check their backpacks.

Aunt Guo opened her eyes wide in surprise: "Three too! Six rabbits in total, this is too abundant a harvest, isn't it?"

Xu Liyun, who was standing by, looked at the men returning from the mountain. Everyone's backpack was full, and she wondered, "Could it be that each of your backpacks is filled with rabbits?"

Everyone kept the matter in suspense and smiled without answering. Their mysterious look aroused the curiosity of those who had not gone up the mountain, so they all opened the backpacks to find out what was going on.

Wow, in addition to the first six rabbits I saw, there are four more, and the remaining space is filled with dates.

An old lady couldn't help but pick up a date and taste it: "It's so sweet. The children will definitely like it."

The voice gradually faded. After all, these were the common resources of the village. Thinking of her own children, she couldn't help but whispered, "Well, can each family get a share? The children rarely get to eat such good things on weekdays."
