Lu Jueyu and Zhang Dongmei looked at each other, their eyes full of meaning.
Zhang Dongmei thought that even if she couldn’t sell these snacks on the black market, she could still take them to acquaintances in state-owned supply stores or factories.
With her third sister-in-law’s recipe, she is confident that as long as the price is slightly lowered, a lot of people will buy her snacks. The problem is the ingredients.
Lu Jueyu observed her sister-in-law’s expression and said, "Eldest sister-in-law, are you worried about the ingredients?"
Zhang Dongmei nodded and said, "You know we are short of food now. Even if this business is profitable, raw materials are not easy to buy. After all, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy them."
"Eldest sister-in-law, I still have lots of food from last year. My husband told me that we must eat it or it will become moldy next year. Since we can’t consume everything, what about you using my ingredients?" Lu Jue Yu suggested.
After hearing her words, Zhang Dongmei did not refuse, but thought about it.
After a while, she said, "Third sister-in-law, since I’m using the ingredients to do business, how about I buy ingredients from you?"
Lu Jueyu nodded and said, "Okay. Eldest sister-in-law, just give me the same price as last year."
"That won’t work. The current price is nearly ten times higher than last year," Zhang Dongmei shook her head.
"Eldest sister-in-law, if the food is not eaten, it will spoil and be wasted. So, you are actually helping me. How can I ask you to pay such a high price?" Lu Jueyu explained.
Now that she said that, Zhang Dongmei could only smile and say, "Thank you, third sister-in-law."
At the same time, in the mountains, Li Chenze and Han Yuheng were picking some mushrooms.
After picking the mature mushrooms, Li Chenze said, "Team leader, if we walk for another twenty minutes, we will reach the place where the wheat grows."
Han Yuheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said while gasping for breaths, "Brother Chenze, just call me by my name."
Li Chenze nodded and said, "Brother Yuheng, you can mark this area. In five days, the mushrooms will mature and new mushrooms will grow. So, you can keep gathering it once every five days."
Looking at the surrounding environment that was so similar to the previous place, Han Yuheng asked, "Brother Chenze, you didn’t mark this place. How do you remember the path to this place?"
Not long after they reached the top of the tree, they saw a huge wild boar rushing out from behind the bushes. Judging from its size, the wild boar may have weighed about 80 to 100 kilograms.
When the wild boar rushed towards the tree where Li Chenze was, it let out a loud growl and aimed its tusks at the tree trunk.
When Han Yuheng saw this scene, his eyes widened in horror. Wild boars are one of the reasons the mountains are off-limits for the villagers. Nine out of ten people attacked by a wild boar will die on the spot, and the last one will die due to blood loss or end up with disability.
"Groowll!"
DUAGH!
The next second, the big tree swayed as the wild boar bumped into the tree. On the top of the tree, Li Chenze’s back and forehead were covered with cold sweat.
Today may be his unlucky day. Not long after entering the mountain, he encountered a wild boar. He used to go into the mountains with his third brother and never encountered a wild boar.
Seeing the wild boar keep hitting the tree, Li Chenze knew what he needed to do. Whether he drives it away or kills it. Otherwise, he might die here.
