At ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, Qin Dabao finally rode his bicycle back to Qinjia Village.

"Dabao! You're back, has the food thing been settled? Qin Dabao used the key to open the door of his house, and just as he was about to push the bicycle into the courtyard, Qin Dadao's impatient inquiry suddenly came from his body.

Qin Dabao heard a familiar inquiry behind him, and immediately turned his head to look behind him, when he saw Qin Daodao who was hurrying towards him, thinking of the agreement between him and Qin Huairu, he pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Third uncle! You went to the black market the night before yesterday to see it yourself, and now that the food in the city is so scarce, how can this food be so easy to get? ”

Qin Daodao heard Qin Dabao's answer, which made his hopeful mood fall into a trough in an instant, thinking of the amount of grain left in the barn in the village, Qin Daodao asked Qin Dabao with a heavy heart: "Dabao! Is there really no way around it? ”

Qin Dabao heard Qin Daodao's inquiry, saw the other party's heavy expression, and asked Qin Daodao with a smile: "Third uncle!" Was the hunting party in the village formed? ”

"Although my sister's neighbor has not gotten food for the time being, he has found a channel for our village where we can legally exchange food for prey, so that we don't have to worry about going to the city to exchange food, it will be regarded as speculation."

The night before yesterday, under the leadership of Qin Baoming, Qin Daodao went to a black market in the eastern area of the city, and through what he saw and heard in the black market, Qin Daodao clearly knew how tight the food in the city was, and even more clearly knew what would happen if he was caught in the black market.

Although Qin Daodao was very aware of the risk factor of going to the black market to exchange grain, thinking of the amount of grain left in the barn, Qin Daodao had to take a risk, and decided to set up a hunting team and go into the mountains to hunt for grain.

In order to solve the problem of food shortage as soon as possible, after returning from the city yesterday morning, Qin Daodao immediately convened the village cadres to discuss the establishment of a hunting team.

When Qin Dadao heard Qin Dabao ask about the hunting team, he immediately asked Qin Dabao, "Dabao! You just said that Huairu's neighbor will help us find a legal channel for grain exchange, is this true? ”

Qin Dabao heard Qin Daodao's inquiry, and replied with a smile: "Third uncle! Do I dare to joke with you about this kind of thing? My sister's neighbor said that in addition to the shortage of food in the city now, there is also a shortage of meat, as long as we can catch prey, their unit is willing to exchange grain for meat with us according to the market price. ”

"Good! That's great! In this way, we don't have to worry about being caught as speculation when we go to the city to change meat. When Qin Dabao heard Qin Dabao's words, he instinctively patted his thigh and said happily.

When Qin Dabao heard Qin Daodao's words, he thought of the difference between pork and stick noodles, and said to Qin Daodao with a smile: "Third uncle! If the hunting team in our village can bring back thousands of catties of game at one time, we don't have to worry about food shortage in the short term. ”

"Dabao! Walk! Go to the third uncle's house for dinner at noon, and I'll let your aunt fry two dishes later, and the third uncle will have a few drinks with you at noon. When Qin Daodao heard Qin Dabao's words, he thought of the situation that the old hunter in the village had mentioned when the hunting team set off in the morning, and immediately grabbed Qin Daodao's wrist and said to Qin Daodao.

Qin Dabao heard Qin Daodao's invitation, and said to Qin Daodao with a smile: "Third uncle! You go back first, I'll clean up here, and I'll come over later. ”

"The hunting party is back! The hunting party is back. At five o'clock in the evening, several children happily ran to the door of Qin Daoguo's house and shouted loudly into the courtyard.

Qin Daoguo, who was sitting at home waiting for news, heard the children's shouts, and immediately stood up from the chair, and then walked briskly towards the door of the house.

Qin Daodao walked to the threshing field in the village, and saw the members of the hunting team, happily carrying seven or eight wild boars, walking in the direction of the threshing field.

Qin Baohua, who was carrying a rifle on his back, saw Qin Daodao walking towards him, and happily said to Qin Daodao: "Third uncle! Fortunately, the hunting team entered the mountains this time and caught a total of eight wild boars, two goats, thirteen hares, and seven pheasants. ”

When Qin Daodao heard the hunting results that Qin Baohua introduced to him, not to mention how happy he was, he happily said to everyone in the hunting team: "Comrades! Everyone has worked hard, in order to reward everyone's contribution to the village collective, tonight we will cook pig killing dishes in the village canteen. ”

At noon, Qin Dabao drank some wine at Qin Daguo's house, and Qin Dabao, who was a little drunk, returned to his house and immediately fell asleep, until the shouts of children came from outside, and Qin Dabao woke up from his deep sleep.

Hearing the news of the return of the hunting team, Qin Dabao immediately got dressed and came to the threshing floor in the village, when he saw the prey neatly placed on the ground, his face showed a surprised expression, and at the same time, it was clear that he didn't need to take out the piece of approval on his body anymore.

"Dabao! The prey has returned, do you think we should go into the city overnight, or wait until tomorrow morning to set off? When Qin Daodao saw Qin Dabao who had heard the news, he immediately walked quickly in front of Qin Dabao and asked Qin Dabao happily.

Qin Dabao heard Qin Daodao's inquiry, pondered for a while, and said to Qin Daodao: "Third uncle! At this time, when we enter the city, when we get to the city, it is already midnight, this cold day, where should we go then? ”

"So be it! You first arrange people to deal with these wild boars, and tomorrow at five o'clock in the morning, we will take these prey into the city. ”

Eight wild boars, after all slaughtered, put aside the pig's head and pig into the water, there are more than 1,300 catties of pork, plus two goats and hares and pheasants, this time the hunting team of Qinjia Village brought back 1,400 catties of game from the mountains, and exchanged them according to the price of stick noodles and meat, and these game meat can be exchanged for more than 10,000 stick noodles.

More than 10,000 catties of food, if you can save some food, in the next half a year, Qinjia Village will not have to worry about the problem of lack of food, the big stone that pressed on Qin Daodao's heart at this moment was finally put down, making Qin Daodao's whole body feel much more relaxed.

When Qin Daodao heard Qin Dabao's words, he immediately nodded and replied, "Dabao! Then I'll arrange for someone to deal with the prey now, and we'll leave for the city at five o'clock tomorrow morning." ”

Under the command of Qin Daodao, the villagers began to deal with the game, and the women in charge of cooking in the canteen cleaned the pigs and wild boar's heads, and began to cook the pig vegetables, which was undoubtedly a happy night for the villagers of Qinjia Village.
