Wang Yongzhu didn't know Song Chongjin was packing to come back.
Upon waking early, everyone had already begun to bustle about; the women went to pick tea leaves, and the men were busy as well. A large quantity of firewood was needed for roasting the tea, and someone had to carry it back from the mountains.
With so many people to feed and drink, the residents of Yingzi Gully were quite frugal. Their diet mainly consisted of coarse grains. Zhang Yinbao did not say anything when he ate yesterday, but early in the morning, he had his shop assistant go with the hunters from Yingzi Gully to purchase food supplies in Shiqiao Town.
Wang Yongzhu thought Zhang Yinbao would also be going down the mountain and wait in the town until all the tea leaves were processed, after which he would transport them directly.
