Jiang Chuan’s family managed to exchange quite a bit of things this time around. One roe deer, two pheasants, two hares, wild vegetables, and all kinds of mushrooms.

When Jiang Xia lifted the blanket covering the carriage, the man was so stunned that he was left speechless.

A moment later, he gasped and said, “This! Brother Jiang, are there really a lot of things in the mountain?”

Jiang Chuan smiled and replied, “It’s alright! Maybe we’re lucky. We always encounter good things when we go up the mountain.”

The short man did some calculations. It had been almost a month since Jiang Chuan first came to this place. He had to admit that Jiang Chuan’s family was really lucky and he made up his mind to be on good terms with them.

The short man looked through the items and said, “This time, I’ll take your roe deer, one pheasant, one rabbit, and half of the wild vegetables and mushrooms. You can sell the rest in the town. But let me warn you in advance! There are people who have come to inspect recently. Don’t sell it on a large scale. Also, I advise you to not come to town for the next few days. If you are really caught, it will be difficult to deal with.”

Jiang Chuan nodded after listening to the short man’s heartfelt words. Jiang Xia, on the other hand, was not sure if the inspection was a good or bad thing.

This time, Jiang Chuan and the others didn’t exchange for food. Instead, they exchanged for money and a few food and material coupons.

Nowadays, buying things through official channels required tickets. For example, food required food tickets, cloth required cloth tickets, and pots and pans required industrial tickets. Without tickets, you couldn’t buy anything.

Now that they had all these in their hands, Jiang Chuan and his family were a bit more confident. Moreover, tickets and money were a lot easier to carry around.

Not only did the man accept a lot of things this time, but he also helped Jiang Chuan’s family deal with the pheasant and rabbits. The rabbit skins that Jiang Chuan got were all intact. Although they were not big, they could make two pairs of shoes for Jiang Xia and Jiang Gu when winter came.

Jiang Chuan thanked the man and got on the carriage to sell things on other streets with his family.

Regardless of whether it was items or money, as long as it was worth it, Jiang Chuan would cut off a portion of the meat according to the buyer’s request.

Jiang Chuan didn’t need a ticket, but he could still win the hearts of the people by bartering. After walking down a street, the chicken and rabbit were almost evenly split, and there was only a small portion of wild vegetables left.

Jiang Xia and Jiang Gu looked at the remaining wild vegetables and grinned. Although the price given by the short man was reasonable, it was not as good as this kind of direct sale.

For example, when selling small things, the man first had to consider the losses he would incur if he sold them to the food processing area. He also had to earn some money himself. Even though he had bought and sold them directly, after a few links, he still gave less to the Jiang Chuan family.

Seeing that it was already afternoon, Jiang Gu’s stomach was the first to rumble. With Jiang Gu’s start, Jiang Chuan and the others also felt hungry.

“Father, shall we go to the restaurant today to try something new?” Jiang Xia pointed at a restaurant nearby and suggested tentatively.

At this time, all the restaurants, big or small, were operated by the state. There were also state-owned restaurants in this small town.

Jiang Chuan looked in the direction Jiang Xia was pointing at and thought about the things in his arms. They had money and food stamps now, so it was not a bad idea to go and eat something.

“That’s fine. I haven’t been to a restaurant yet. Let’s go and broaden our horizons.” Jiang Chuan looked at Zhou Lan as he spoke.

Zhou Lan also nodded. Although they were still very poor now, they would not be like this in the future. They still had to see the world that they should see. They could not afford to be petty.

Jiang Gu listened to the conversation between his sister and father, and her eyes slowly widened as if she had heard something strange.

Although she had never been to a restaurant, she heard from the people who came back from school that going to a restaurant was a very high-class and prestigious thing. Just having money was not enough.

To Jiang Gu, being able to eat at a restaurant was like a dream. Now that her sister said she wanted to go, her parents were prepared to bring them there. Was she really not dreaming?

“Father, Father, are we really going?” Seeing her father driving the carriage in the direction of the restaurant, Jiang Gu quickly asked.

Jiang Xia chuckled and hugged Jiang Gu. “Of course! We earned quite a bit today. Let Father treat us to a meal..”
