Do you accept deer?

The village leader nodded and took Jiang Chuan to a donkey cart. He patted the man who was driving the donkey cart.

"Let Xiao Wu send you to the town." The village chief said.

 "I'll have to trouble you with this."

"No problem at all! I'm going to exchange these two rabbits too."

After saying that, the man pulled out two rabbits that were tied to their feet from under the shed of the donkey cart.

Looking at Xiao Wu's simple and honest smile, Jiang Chuan's family smiled but cried in their hearts. How long will it take for him to arrive?

Jiang Xia tied the deer to the side of the donkey cart and hung a handful of wild vegetables in front of it before letting it follow the donkey cart.

There were only the four of them and the two rabbits in the carriage, so the donkey carriage could run faster.

The few of them jolted on the donkey cart until their faces turned pale. The man called Xiao Wu saw their appearance and teased them that they had never left the house.

In fact, it wasn't wrong to say that they had never gone out. In the past, Jiang Chuan and Zhou Lan were both really capable and the old Jiang couple would make them work 24 hours a day, so how could they have the chance to go out?

There were only two times when Zhou Lan had a chance to go out, and it was because they had too many things to carry, so they asked Zhou Lan to go to the purchasing station with Wang Fen.

Xiao Wu drove the donkey cart for two, almost three hours before they reached the town.

This was the first time that Jiang Xia had come to a town in the 1960s. Everything was new and interesting. Whether it was the previous Jiang Xia or the current Jiang Xia, they had no concept of towns.

The street they were on was probably the main street. The road was wider and there were a few small restaurants on both sides. Further ahead was a row of large bungalows with the words "Supply and Marketing Club" written on them.

The Supply and Marketing Club was a supply and sales cooperation organization in this country. It mainly provided channels for the purchase and sales of goods for the common people, and the food purchasing station was also in it.

The few of them drove the donkey cart slowly on the road. Because of the drought, there were not many people walking on the roads of the town.

Looking at the desolate scene, Jiang Chuan couldn't help but sigh. "Their days aren't good either!"

Faced with such a situation, Jiang Xia was a little worried. Could it be that they couldn't even exchange for food? Then he would have to go back on his promise to the villagers.

"Dad, do you think we can still exchange for grain?"

Now that there was a shortage of food everywhere, she didn't know how much her meat could be exchanged for.

Because Xiao Wu was familiar with the situation, they found the purchasing station without much effort.

As soon as Jiang Xia pushed the door open, she saw four people playing cards with cigarettes in their mouths.

Perhaps hearing the noise, the few of them were a little flustered. Just as they were about to put away the cards, the short man inadvertently glanced at the door and saw a few farmers in ragged clothes. He immediately waved to the other three to stop them from ending the game.

"Don't you know to knock before you enter?"

Xiao Wu didn't expect to encounter such a situation. The purchasing station was always full of people in the past years, so there was no need to knock. He was stunned for a moment, then immediately put on a smile and said, "We're here to exchange for some food."

"Exchange for some food?" The short man was also surprised by what he said. He got up and walked to Xiao Wu's side, "What do you have to exchange? I'll tell you first that we won't accept those that need to be submitted to the higher-ups. "

In this era, farmers had to submit items to the higher-ups. For example, to raise chickens, they had to hand in eggs and so on.

"No, no, don't worry. We want to exchange for the prey we hunted."

Hearing this, the other three people who continued playing at the table suddenly became interested.

Now that there was a drought, all the animals ran deep into the mountains, and since there were many large wild beasts in the mountains, hardly anyone would be able to catch prey. 

"What did you hunt?" One of the men asked.

Xiao Wu first showed them the rabbit and received a disappointed look. However, it was still meat, so the four of them didn't say anything.

Jiang Chuan saw Xiao Wu giving him a look and instantly understood what he meant. He then stepped forward and said, "We still have a prey we want to exchange."

"What is it?" This time, the four of them didn't show any happy expressions.

"You have to come out and take a look."

The short man's eyebrows immediately shot up when he heard this. Jiang Chuan bother entertaining him and walked directly to the door. The short man then followed him to the door.

"This, this is!"

The three people who were still in the room heard the short man's surprised cry and looked at each other, then immediately walked out the door.

"Do you accept live deers here?"
