Chapter 99 Replacement of supplies in the village
"Sister, your chickens are pretty good, I don't know..." Grandma Mu's eyes have been fixed on the big rooster running in the yard.

After all, hens are the butt bank these days, and most people won’t sell their hens.

When the aunt heard this, she said, "Sister, I have a good eye for this chicken..." After blowing for a while, the aunt finally relaxed, "I'll sell it to you if you want it, but you can't tell anyone about it."

They could indeed buy and sell, but they had to go through the village, and she didn't want the villagers to know about it.

After all, it’s hard to make money these days.

"Can the big sister help me kill him and take him away when we go back later?" Grandma Mu handed over her vegetable basket.

The two exchanged eyes.

"Sister, you have already spoken, so of course you can."

The aunt took the basket and shouted twice into the room, "Da Fang and Xiao Fang, kill the big rooster in the yard and put it in this basket. Remember to break your belly."

The arrangement arranged by the aunt was a smooth one, which shows that she did this a lot.

"Sister, do you want the food in your belly?" That's meat, too.

If not, can her family have some meat?
Of course Grandma Mu knew what she meant, "No, I don't want it. It's too troublesome to deal with that thing. I don't want chicken blood. If you don't put that thing away, it might be broken when you take it back."

Yes, the aunt in the courtyard is happy.

"Okay, I won't let my sister suffer either."

After saying that, she went into the house to get a scale, weighed it in front of Grandma Mu, and then wiped off the zero.

Nowadays, chicken costs only eight cents per pound, and of course it is more expensive in private.

It’s still a dollar and a half.

"Just calculate it as seven pounds. How about old sister? I didn't let you suffer." If you give up two or two pounds, it still costs thirty cents.

"If you don't suffer a loss, if you don't suffer a loss, thank you very much, sister. Come and get it later when we leave. This is the money. You keep it." Grandma Mu is also a cheerful person.

Take out the money immediately.

According to the calculation of one dollar and two, after all, this is not a black market, and the price is naturally not that high.

This is the price you can buy in the village.

"This is eight dollars and forty cents. Sister, please keep it."

Mu Yu watched and listened to the whole process, but she didn't expect that grandma was still a social cow.

If it were her, I'd be afraid that she wouldn't be able to call her a sister.

"Of course what the elder sister gave me is right." The aunt took the money and counted it.

What she said was true, but it didn't stop her from counting the money.

After the arrangements were made, Aunt Qian took them into the village.

The village on the other side was too far away, so Mu Yu was not included.

Maotian Village is still rich in supplies. As soon as you enter the village, you can see people busy in the fields.

"Isn't it just the autumn harvest? Do you want us to be farmers in the fields again?" Mu Yu looked at the people digging the ground with a puzzled look on her face.

The countryside here in Haishi grows rice, but there is no such thing as two crops a year.

Now I'm plowing the ground again, and I don't know what to plant. "Oh, we don't grow rice in the ground. It's used to raise fish until next spring, just in time to sow rice seedlings."

Mu Yu didn't know much about farming, nor how the land in Haishi was farmed.

"Then they are not plowing the ground, but laying fish seeds?" After getting closer, Mu Yu could see clearly what the people working in the field were doing.

"Yes, the seedlings are very precious. If you don't raise them carefully, they will die for you. So at this time of year, men have to go to the fields to test the water temperature, and they have to go to the mountains to fetch water."

Although this work is not tiring, it takes a long time and is quite tiring at the end of the day.

"Take you to the village headquarters. The village chief is over there." Aunt Qian took the two of them on the largest road in the village.

This road leads directly to the village. When Mu Yu and grandma arrived, someone was already trading with the villagers at the village headquarters.

I don’t know, maybe it’s from the front yard.

After all, there were many family members in the front yard, so it was naturally impossible for them to recognize them all. Even Wang Zhaodi and Xiu Xiu, who had lived here for two years, might not recognize them all.

"There are people in the village who come to exchange things every day?" Mu Yu felt that it would be bad if he didn't ask clearly first.

Aunt Qian seemed to see their worries, "Don't worry, little girl, the entire village surrounding the department can exchange your living things with you. The leader above has personally issued the order, so don't worry."

He immediately explained to her and also explained the situation in their surrounding villages.

Now the two of them felt relieved.

Looking at the crowd of people in the room at the village head, the two of them followed Aunt Qian and walked in.

As soon as I entered, I saw a large empty room filled with things produced by the villagers.

There are vegetables, eggs, chicken, duck and fish.

Just no meat.

It's not that there are no pigs raised in the village, but those pigs are task pigs. If they want to eat meat, they have to submit a task before they can be considered as part of the village.

If you want to sell it, you can only wait until the end of the year, but it is not available now.

When Mu Yu and grandma saw the eggs, they immediately surrounded them.

"Are there any duck eggs?" As soon as she came over, Mu Yu immediately asked an elder sister guarding the egg pile.

When the egg-keeper sister saw someone coming to ask, she immediately happily pointed to the piles of duck eggs beside her.

There are many chickens and ducks in their village, so they naturally have eggs.

"Yes, yes, here, you see how much you want, and I will install it for you." The eldest sister is also a discerning person.

He held out his hand and asked them for something to hold the eggs.

Grandma Mu didn't rush to give the snakeskin bag in her hand to her. Instead, she asked, "Girl, do you still have these duck eggs? These are a bit lacking. We have to help other families bring some back."

When Mu Yu saw her grandma speaking, she stood aside and looked at other things.

It would be nice to have a grandma for this little thing.

"How much does it cost, aunt?" Since their village can exchange things privately with people from surrounding departments, the lives of several surrounding villages have become much easier.

You can still have some money in your hands throughout the year.

She naturally supports these Gods of Wealth.

There are naturally still these duck eggs. Not to mention the ducks raised in the village, the wild ducks in the river can lay a lot of eggs at once.

Even though the thing picked up is personal, it can be exchanged, and everyone is willing to exchange it.

"I want a lot, maybe a few hundred." Grandma Mu did not give a specific number, but only gave a rough estimate.

Upon hearing this, the woman's hands trembled, "Is this so much?" This was too many, hundreds. The total number of duck eggs in their village was probably only a few hundred.

Usually, people prefer to eat eggs. Although duck eggs are not so easy to replace, they are still meaty and the price is not cheap.

It would be hundreds at once, and she couldn't make the decision.

"Village chief, village chief." After being surprised, she immediately shouted loudly.

It almost scared the village chief out of his mind.

"Shout, shout." The village chief, who was watching the transaction not far away, came over with his bamboo chimney.

"The village chief's aunt said she wants hundreds of duck eggs. Do we have any in our village?" There were too many, and she didn't dare to sell them.

The village chief was stunned after hearing this, "No, aunt, why are you taking so many duck eggs? These are not as delicious as eggs."
