"Well, okay, you can take the car away first. I'll ask Deputy Section Chief Tian for the specific situation. ”

"Then thank you Uncle Tong. I contacted a batch of eggs and duck eggs this time, how about I give you a few? He Yutian thought that it would be indispensable to trouble Uncle Tong in the future, so he wanted to sell a good one.

"Okay, that's good."

"Okay, then I'll bring it to you in the afternoon."

"Thank you."

"That's okay, Uncle Tong, then I'll ride away."

"Wait a minute, take the iron basket away."

"Oh, good."

He Yutian took the iron basket and put it in the back seat of the car, then left the factory, and then went home. He Yushui went to work at this time, and He Yutian put some food at home, not much, enough to eat for two days. Then I rode my bicycle out of town.

This time he went to Qinggou Commune, which is located next to the Qinggou River outside the city, which is a place He Yutian used to go to often. And I know the situation here well, but it's just that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. It's different now, he has everything in the portable warehouse, even if he doesn't take everything out directly, he can solve half of the indicators now.

Today he plans to sweep the villages outside first, and then come early tomorrow.

No, as soon as he entered the village, He Yutian saw his first target, Aunt Peng, a 51-year-old widow. Every time I come by myself, I ask myself if I have any needlework, broken cloth, etc. You know, although as a buyer, you can get access to these, but you don't want to take them. He Yutian, as a person who usually can't complete the task, is even more unlikely to get so many supplies.

Therefore, every time he came, He Yutian avoided this old lady. This old lady also likes to complain that He Yutian is incapable and can't change anything. The original owner was annoyed by the old lady.

Sure enough, when the old lady saw He Yutian coming, she immediately came over, beckoned, and said, "Master He, this way." ”

If it was the original owner, he would have pretended not to hear it and left. However, the current He Yutian is not afraid of this, now he has enough supplies in his hands, and he has nothing. The old lady lacked something, the equivalent exchange was enough, and she just sold what she had in hand.

"Aunt Peng, hello."

"Master Xiao He, hello. I told you last time, I want to buy a pair of scissors, did you bring them? ”

"Brought."

"Good, good. Master Xiao He, I prepared a lot of eggs this time, and I haven't sold them yet, so I'm just going to exchange them with you. ”

"Oh, that's a good feeling. I came out this time just in time to collect eggs and duck eggs. Aunt Peng, I prepared some good things this time, do you need to change something? ”

"Is there food? Is there yarn? ”

"Both. I only brought 10 pounds of cornmeal this time, and the wool was only a roll of black, do you want it? Well, I can only exchange eggs and duck eggs. ”

"Yes, I want it. I don't have that many eggs, though. Can't you exchange money for it? ”

"All I need is eggs, duck eggs, and live chickens and ducks."

"I want to think about it." Aunt Peng is a little tormented in her heart, the chickens and ducks at home are all raised to lay eggs, and she usually lives on this little money.

After struggling for a while, Aunt Peng finally made up her mind. There is one less chicken and duck, so they can be raised again. But it's hard to buy these things, usually you don't have a ticket, and you can't buy them with money. My grandson doesn't even have clothes to wear now, and it will be cold this day, so don't freeze the child.

This roll can make a woolen dress for a child, which can be used for a lot. Thinking of this, Aunt Peng made up her mind. said, "Master He, will you take the old hen?" ”

"Collect, that's what I want. As long as the thing is okay, I will give you the highest price, how about 5 cents a catty? ”

This price is now the market price, but Aunt Peng still seems to be a little dissatisfied, and said, "Master He, can you give it a higher point?" ”

"Auntie, our factory has regulations, 5 cents a pound is the highest price."

"Okay. Then come with me, I'll go and catch the chicken for you. ”

"Hmm."

Before coming, He Yutian had already prepared a chicken coop, which was the kind woven of bamboo, light and easy to use, and put it in an iron frame basket.

Aunt Peng's house is in the middle of the village, her man used to seem to be the head of the village, he was killed by Xiaori, more than 20 years have passed, and now the family is still taken care of by the villagers, and they can live without being eaten out.

......As soon as Aunt Peng came, the chickens automatically came over, and Aunt Peng grabbed a hen who usually didn't like to lay eggs. The other hens were frightened and fled.

"Master He, I want to sell this chicken."

"Okay, you put it in this cage, I'll weigh it."

"Hmm."

When a buyer goes to the countryside, the tools he must bring are indispensable scales. Scales in this era were generally hand-scaled, a wooden stick with a scale, plus a large weighing stone, to form a scale.

He Yutian took out the scale and weighed the hen to 4 catties and 3 taels. Aunt Peng's chickens are considered to have put their minds into raising them so fat.

"Auntie, 5 catties and 1 tael, our chicken cage is exactly 8 taels. In other words, the hens have a total of 4 catties and 3 taels, right? ”

"Hmm." Aunt Peng nodded.

"A pair of scissors counts as 4 cents, a roll of wool counts as 5 cents, and 10 catties of cornmeal counts as 2 pieces of 2, a total of 3 pieces of 1. The hen counts 5 cents a pound, which is 2 yuan and 1 mao 5, that is, there is still a difference of 9 cents and 5, and you have to give me 19 eggs. ”

"I have 12 eggs here."

"Then you'll have to give me 12 duck eggs, and I'll get you another penny. You do the math, is this the number? ”

Aunt Peng counted a few times and felt that there was no problem, so she said, "Okay." By the way, Master He, I have 3 duck eggs left, so I'll give them all to you. ”

"It's okay, then I'll give you 1 cent, which can be regarded as two clear."

"Okay."

"The money is for you, take it."

"Hmm. Thank you. ”

"Auntie, then I'll go, I'll come back 2 times a week, your eggs and duck eggs are saved for me, I'll collect them next time."

"Okay, thank you this time. Solve the boss problem for me. Can you bring some cloth next time? ”

"Auntie, that's a good thing, it's hard to find, if there is, I'll try to apply for a little over."

"Hmm. Master He, go all the way. ”

He Yutian rode out of here, prepared the things that each family wanted to exchange in advance, took them out of the warehouse, and got ready. As for the things received each time, in order to avoid breaking, they were put into the portable warehouse, leaving only a few empty cardboard boxes in the iron basket.

After a busy morning, Liu Xiaotian ran all over the two nearby villages. As for the farther villages, I had to go again in the afternoon.
