Back to 1984: Hunting in the Mountains

Chapter 46 Chance Encounter
With Yu Qiutang's patient advice, Wu Meifen finally agreed to give it a try.

Anyway, as Yu Qiutang said, make some sweet sauce and keep it for later use, in case someone needs it.

There is no loss.

Yu Qiutang also joked with Wu Meifen that if she had no idea of ​​making sweet flavors, then she could do it herself and they would not interfere with each other.

Jokes aside, who can say whether this will really happen in the future?

Opportunities to make money are often closely linked to the times. If it is not easy now, it will be difficult in the future.

According to the agreement between the two, Yu Qiutang had ten more yuan in his arms after leaving the "Meifen Restaurant".

With this rate of making money, as long as he can maintain it steadily, he can live comfortably even without going into the mountains to make a living.

It was 10 yuan a day, 300 yuan a month, and 1800 yuan in half a year, which was enough for him to build a new yard and accommodate his family of four.

When he went to see Yu Qiujiang yesterday, he suddenly had an idea: why not build a residence at the foot of the mountain.

The land over there is very barren because the nutrients have been sucked away by the mountains. Basically no one wants it, so it is still abandoned for the time being. If we can contract it back at a very cheap price and build a big yard on it, wouldn’t it be great?

This saves you from having to deal too much with these bad guys in the village, and no matter what you get in the mountains, you can go directly into the yard when you come back, without worrying about being seen by other people in the village and causing unnecessary trouble.

These people have a lot of jealousy symptoms.

That's because he is still relatively weak now, so no one takes him seriously. If he slowly rises and gradually stands out from the crowd, there will definitely be a lot of people who will try to deal with him.

You should know that this village is called Wangjia Village. At least two-thirds of the people in the village are Wangs, and there is also a Wang family ancestral hall built in the village.

If they don't like me, it will be very troublesome to deal with them.

Well, you can try this idea.

It would be best to deal with it in a low-key manner while he is still a nobody and still a weakling.

Yu Qiutang carried the empty basket and did not rush home, but walked slowly along the street.

There were too many people on the street yesterday, almost shoulder to shoulder, which made him dizzy and he didn't have time to take a close look at his surroundings. Today he came early and he had an appointment with Old Man Qin for noon, so he still had an hour or two to relax.

I took the opportunity to take a closer look at the town where I grew up, and it slowly overlapped with the town in my memory.

If he wants to develop based on this town in the future, he must try to compare the town’s current state with its state decades later, just like stacking two maps from different eras together to clearly see the changes in the same place in different eras.

As we were walking, it suddenly started to drizzle.

At first it was just a drizzle, barely sustainable, but after a few minutes of walking, it turned into moderate rain.

Yu Qiutang had no choice but to stand at the door of a store and wait for the rain.

He waited for more than ten minutes, but the rain did not stop, but got heavier. Even though he was standing under the eaves, the splashing mud and water still wet his trouser legs. He had no choice but to keep his body as close to the wall of the store as possible.

At this time, someone inside shouted, "Come in, wait until the rain stops before leaving."

Yu Qiutang turned around and found that it was the lady at the store counter calling him.

The eldest sister looked kind and benevolent. She waved at him and pointed at the rain outside, "It won't stop anytime soon."

Yu Qiutang looked at the store floor, then at his own shoes, and said with a smile, "Forget it. Thanks, sister. My shoes are all covered in mud and water, and your floor is so clean. I have to clean it again if I step on it."

"That's nothing. You just need to clean. It won't make you tired to death," the eldest sister shook her head, not taking it seriously. "The rain in August can kill you. If you don't notice when you're getting wet, you might catch a cold and have a fever when you go back. Your parents will be so sad to see you." OK.

This elder sister treated Yu Qiutang as a little boy again.

Who told him to have such a delicate and youthful face?

Perhaps it is because of this that he always meets such kind-hearted people. His appearance must have played a certain role. If he was born ugly, he would be lucky enough not to be beaten away with a broom.

Since the elder sister was so enthusiastic, he expressed his gratitude and walked inside.

Thinking of how my elder sister was kind enough to let him in, I decided to just buy some things for her. I needed to buy some more things for the family anyway, so I might as well consider it as returning the favor.

As I was watching, I heard the sound of footsteps coming from far away and soon reaching the door. It was the voices of two young girls.

"Hehehehe~"

The first sound was a clear, bell-like laughter, and Yu Qiutang felt that the laughter seemed very familiar.

"Look at you. I told you to wait until the rain stops before coming over, but you couldn't wait. Now what can we do? Our clothes are all soaked."

Yu Qiutang was walking around the cabinet to check the source of the familiar laughter. When he heard the woman's voice behind him, he was startled and stood still without showing his head.

"Oh my, it's all my fault, sister. You got wet, and so did I. So we're even now."

"If you don't listen to me, Miahong, it's not unreasonable for your mother to worry. Who would dare to want you in the future? If you force yourself to go out, I'm afraid you will be sent back to your mother's home~"

"Hey, sister, I still care about you. You are already nineteen this year, and the baby of Second Uncle Juan is about to have a full month...ah, don't tickle me, don't tickle me."

"I told you not to make fun of me again!"

"I don't dare anymore. I won't dare anymore. I will never dare again. Please let your ignorant sister go~"

"You~"

The girl called Yali smiled indulgently and walked straight into the store. When she passed the corner, she saw a tall but handsome young man leaning against the shelf quietly, motionless, like a statue fixed there.

She smiled at the boy and he smiled back, but that smile was very stiff and not much better than crying.

This made me even more curious.

After walking a long way, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at the young man. She found that he seemed to still maintain the same posture, which immediately made her laugh.

At this time, her younger sister Miahong also came over and was also frightened, but soon her face turned slightly red. She ran over and grabbed her sister's arm, whispering something in her sister's ear.

Miali nudged her with her elbow, and seeing that she was still laughing, she secretly pinched her sister's belly, and only then did she stop her sister.

The goal of the two-person store was very clear, which was to create a silk scarf with a white background and blue flowers.

I can't put it down after turning it over and over in my hand.

"Yahong, if you like it, I will buy it for you as your birthday present. I wish our little Yahong will become more and more beautiful, find a good and handsome man in the future, and live a good life."

"Hehe~ Then I'll accept it. You're so nice to me, sis!"

Miahong couldn't wait to put on her scarf and look at herself in the small mirror on the counter. The more she looked, the more satisfied she became. Miyali, who was still standing next to the shelf, gently stroked another scarf of the same style, her eyes full of reluctance.
