Chapter 26 Gifts
Jiang Defu had no time to care about the villagers' sudden change in their attitude towards him, because they were busy dealing with the mountain goods they had hunted this time.

Jiang Defu didn't know how to handle wild boars, rabbits and pheasants. These tasks were done by Shi Changsheng, Daniu and Jiang Decai.

The day Jiang Defu came back, Jiang Decai and Zhang Guilan were shocked. They were relieved when they learned that he was not injured.

He was told that if he went hunting next time, he should not go alone. It was best to follow Changsheng and Daniu.

The two people laughed a little awkwardly. They also thought that it would be safer to follow Jiang Defu when hunting in the future!
After the hunting was done, Jiang Defu originally said that the three families would share it equally, but Shi Changsheng and Daniu were unwilling to do so, saying that Jiang Defu had killed the wild boar alone.

After finally declining, Shi Changsheng and Shi Daniu's family shared half a fan of wild boar meat, and they gave the Jiang family two rabbits.

That night, the Jiang family cooked a large pot of pork, and of course added a lot of dried vegetables, such as dried radish, dried beans, etc.

Zhang Guilan mixed cornmeal again and put pancakes on the big iron pot!
Before it even comes out, the strong aroma of pork is wafting out!

Damn, it smells so good!
Eating the fragrant pork and the fragrant corn tortillas at the bottom, Jiang Defu almost wanted to burst into tears!
Grandma's, I finally had a delicious meal and really enjoyed the meat.

In his previous life, he would never have imagined that one day he would be able to eat pork and be so excited that he would shed tears!

What does he call time travel?

What a fucking pain!

But seeing the second brother and Zhang Guilan eating deliciously and contentedly, why is their sense of happiness so strong?
Zhang Guilan's craftsmanship is actually very good, but it's just that it's hard for a skilled woman to make a meal without straw.

After dinner, Zhang Guilan began to pack away the remaining meat.

The weather is hot now, and the meat will go bad if not processed in time.

"Third brother, do you really want to keep that meat for us to eat ourselves, why don't you sell some of it?"

Zhang Guilan couldn't help but ask while handling the meat.

In rural areas, few people are willing to eat meat so extravagantly. Even if they hunt wild animals such as wild boars, they will keep some worthless parts of the meat bones for stew and eat them. The rest will be taken to the town and exchanged for grain or salt. necessity.

It was Jiang Defu's request to eat meat so extravagantly today. If not, Zhang Guilan and Jiang Decai would not be willing to part with it.

During this time, Jiang Defu also received news about the town:
Nowadays, many things in the town are on track.

For example, grain and oil shops, cloth shops and other daily necessities stores appeared in the town.

Cloth, grain, oil, and salt can all be bought in the town.

Of course, those shops are officially run by Zhengfu.

As for the exchange of mountain goods for food, etc., they are all exchanged in private markets.

While people were bartering, normal banknote purchases also began to circulate.

There were no refrigerators in this era, so if meat was to be stored, it had to be salted.

The Jiang family only has one jar of large salt grains, and Zhang Guilan usually eats it sparingly.

Although Jiang Defu said that he still had the resettlement fee given by the team and planned to go to the town to buy some daily necessities and some salt the next day, Zhang Guilan still spread the salt carefully, fearing that it would be a waste.

"Third brother, do you think that money can really buy something?"

Zhang Guilan asked with some uncertainty.

This family has now unconsciously begun to be headed by Jiang Defu.

He said that you can eat the meat you come back from hunting if you want, and marinate it if you can't finish it. Zhang Guilan and Jiang Decai just hesitated slightly and didn't have any objection.

However, Jiang Defu said that he had some money in his hand, which was the resettlement fee given by the team, and he would go to the town to buy things the day after tomorrow. Zhang Guilan couldn't help but raise questions.

The main reason is that it has been in a chaotic situation before. For people nearby, many people have not used coins.

Even now, those so-called coins are only circulated in towns. People in rural mountain villages still barter, and many people do not accept banknotes very much.This is why Zhang Guilan questioned whether he could buy anything with money. After all, Jiang Defu couldn't buy anything with money when he entered the town.

"I heard someone said it's okay. Someone in the next village bought the cloth in a store in the town."

It is said to be the village next door, but it is actually 30 miles away from Shi'ao Village.

However, the daughter-in-law of a villager in Shi'ao Village said that a son of a family in the village worked in the town, and his salary was in coins, and he used the money to sell things in the store.

This news has already spread in the village. According to the wife's usual behavior and comments, it should not be hearsay.

After Jiang Defu heard this, he wanted to go to the town to have a look.

The next day I rested at home.

Early in the morning on the third day, Shi Changsheng and Shi Daniu came to ask Jiang Defu to go to the town with them.

Naturally, the two of them went to the town to buy the mountain products they had caught while hunting the day before yesterday.

Even though Shi Changsheng's family is considered to be living a good life in the village, they are not willing to eat all the wild animals they catch. Instead, they keep some of the unsellable parts to eat meat themselves, and take the rest to the town to prepare for daily life. supplies.

As for Shi Daniu's family, it goes without saying that the conditions of his family are not as good as those of Jiang Defu's family.

Of those mountain goods, Shi Daniu and his wife asked him to take the rest to the town in exchange for food, except for some bones that looked like broken bones.

Jiang Defu brought a small piece of wild boar meat and a rabbit, but he was not selling them, but wanted to return a favor.

The three of them drove Shi Changsheng's family's mule and headed towards the town.

The town that I haven't been to for nearly a month has indeed undergone a lot of changes. There are more pedestrians on the street. There are several shops on the main street with signs saying: State-owned XXX.

Jiang Defu asked Shi Changsheng and the others to drop him off here. He had to go to the Zhenzheng Mansion Courtyard and then go to the market to find them later in the evening.

The two people knew that he was here to deliver mountain goods to someone they knew well, so they put him down and drove to the market.

Jiang Defu carried the wild boar meat and hare to the Zhengfu compound.

After talking to the guard at the door, Xiao Zeng came out quickly.

"Yo! What are you talking about?"

Xiao Zeng walked out with a smile on his face.

Although he had only met Jiang Defu once, Xiao Zeng felt that he could easily chat with him.

The two are about the same age. In the early years, Xiao Zeng was also running around on the team. Now that he is back, he feels particularly friendly when he sees the people on the team.

Secretary Cong also liked Jiang Defu very much.

"I caught some wild goods in the mountains, and I happened to be in the city to buy some things, so I'll give you some to try."

Jiang Defu smiled.

"Yo! This is good stuff, pork and hare?"

"Yes, wild boar!"

"That's great. Let me tell you, Secretary Cong has been too busy during this period and hasn't been able to take a good rest. As you know about the food in the cafeteria, he has lost more than ten kilograms! He always said to give him a supplement, that is Today’s supplies...Secretary Cong is an upright person and won’t allow anything special...He even fainted two days ago..."

Xiao Zeng said nonchalantly.

"Secretary Cong fainted?"
