Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 116

Chapter 116: Chapter 96: Acquiring Mountain Goods (Part 2)

The neighboring village has a household where the old man and his eldest son often go hunting. Following the elder’s description, we drove to that house. As we drove along, inquiring from house to house, we also collected quite a lot of good items.

By now, Lin Lishan understood a bit more; the harvest from the mountainside land was poor. The men in the village often went hunting to supplement their household income, so every household had supplies. They were ready to sell them at the market before the New Year, to exchange for household necessities.

The villagers there were warm and sincere, not thinking that people driving cars would cause high prices. Perhaps this was also related to Lin Lishan wearing a military uniform; nowadays, people greatly respected soldiers.

Driving the car and looking at the back full of mountain products and wild bacon, Lin Lishan planned to head back home. With two old hens and 100 eggs, she could also give Jiao Jiao a supplement at night.

"Grandma, we have old hens at home, no need to buy them. Also, my little aunt has a lot of eggs in her room." Xi Zi looked at the pile behind and now realized that this grandma always bought things in heaps, never a small amount.

As Lin Lishan drove, hearing this, she laughed heartily. This child is indeed quite tolerant. She had noticed from the first house that he wanted to stop her.

"The old hens at your house can still lay eggs, keep them for you to eat. These old hens have been raised for two years, it’s nourishing to kill and stew them for soup. Buy more eggs, you all can eat them too. Those mountain products and wild game, Grandma also needs to pack up and send to your little aunt’s second uncle. They are in the Northwest, and there, even with money, you can’t buy these good things. Besides the second uncle, your little aunt has a big uncle and a little aunt, these relatives also need preparation. Tomorrow, go out with Grandma again, Xi Zi, you are pretty quick at helping Grandma calculate accounts."

Xi Zi nodded, fearing she didn’t see while driving, hurriedly said: "Okay, Grandma, take me with you tomorrow. I heard my grandma and mom say, the family also collects mountain products from the village, sending them to Beijing when my little uncle returns. You don’t need to buy more mountain products, it’s already too much. My dad also asked my mom to sneak to the village to buy. It’s too much, and we can’t finish eating it."

Lin Lishan laughed and said: "Keep what’s at your house for leisurely eating. When you go back, also tell your dad not to buy anymore, just say Grandma has already bought a lot. Your little aunt has many senior relatives, it’s not too much at all. The mountain products from the Northeast are famous nationwide, they’re more expensive elsewhere, and in big cities, you often can’t buy them. Have more to eat slowly, and they can also be gifts for the New Year, to give to your great-grandpa and others. So, don’t worry about finishing it all."

After listening, Xi Zi silently counted how many elder relatives he had, the more he thought, the more worried he became. When he grows up like his little uncle, how much money would he need? What could he do in the future to be worry-free?

Lin Lishan drove, chatting casually with Xi Zi, also contemplating buying more and sending them back so they have gifts.

The prices here were genuinely not expensive. In big cities during the holidays, even the supply points sold holiday goods by coupons were limited; things like seeds, mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, dried bamboo shoots, chicken, and pork were allocated by household, and not necessarily could you buy good quality. In the Big Courtyard, supplies were prioritized, but bacon was rarely seen.

These wild game are literally meat dishes, often can be eaten without meat coupons, which is more cost-effective than buying at a high price in the city. Last time she heard that next year eggs would also be reduced in supply, let alone meat?
