Chapter 8 Prunes
Chen Ping didn't notice Liu Cheng's strangeness at all, because in her opinion, it's really nothing to hold hands. It's so normal for modern people to shake hands when they meet, and there's no such thing as taking advantage of it.

As for Liu Cheng, although his original intention was to change, Chen Ping made the decision, but he didn't blame Chen Ping, he could tell that Chen Ping was also doing it for his own good.

Liu Cheng wanted to withdraw his hand, but Chen Ping dragged him to find another shop. For a while, Liu Cheng didn't know how to react.

No, he is a man, he can't take advantage of Chen Ping. Thinking of this, Liu Cheng used a skillful force to gently break free from Chen Ping's hand.

Chen Ping didn't care either, she was trying to pull Liu Cheng out, and now that she's out, she should let him go.

Liu Cheng led Chen Ping to two other stores, one for nine taels, and the last one for eight taels. Angrily, Chen Ping dragged Liu Cheng away, unwilling to talk to them.

In fact, Chen Ping didn't understand the market here. Yes, chickens are expensive in the village, but salt is even more expensive.This is not the era she was in. Salt was so ordinary, but here salt is a precious thing.

You must know that there is no circulation between Taoyuan Town and the outside world, and many things are scarce, especially salt, which is necessary for life, and no one can live without it.So the price of salt is expensive, and this is because there is a place that can produce a little salt, so that the town will not be short of salt.Otherwise, this town, village, would have had problems because of lack of salt.

Chen Ping still has a modern way of thinking, and feels that Liu Cheng is at a disadvantage, so she refuses to let Liu Cheng change.

"Let's go to the first one to change it, the house is almost out of salt."

Liu Cheng said with some embarrassment, no one would want to look at people's faces if they could, but people have to bow their heads under the eaves.

If his marriage is settled, he will need salt even more for entertaining guests in the future, and this salt will become more and more precious, and he is afraid that if he does not change it now, it will be even more difficult to change it later.

"No, don't worry about the salt, I'll get it for you. Isn't it just salt? I have enough, so we won't change it."

Chen Ping was furious. Although she didn't know the situation here, she had thought about it. She had a stone tablet, so she could bring things here.According to what the stele told him, now is the initial stage, she can bring five catties, so she should bring salt.

Liu Cheng looked at Chen Ping in surprise, did he hear correctly?Chen Ping said she could get salt.

"Brother Liu, trust me, I will definitely get you salt, we won't trade chickens."

Chen Ping looked at what Liu Cheng said was very firm, and she decided to bring salt to Liu Cheng tomorrow.

Liu Cheng looked at Chen Ping, Chen Ping looked serious, it didn't seem like he was talking big, let alone cheating him, he nodded, he believed in Chen Ping, and at the same time, he felt a little gratitude in his heart, Chen Ping is really a sincere girl people.

Chen Ping didn't know what Liu Cheng was thinking in his heart. If he knew, he could only sigh that this person's mind was too simple.

Chen Ping followed Liu Cheng to the place where the cloth was sold. In the end, Chen Ping dragged Liu Cheng out again. She didn't want Liu Cheng to trade chickens for cloth. His clothes are not pretty.

She plans to go back and buy some suitable clothes for Liu Cheng. Although she is not rich, she can still afford these things.

Liu Cheng blushed and followed Chen Ping. Chen Ping said she could get the cloth, and he was a little reluctant at first, but now that Chen Ping said yes, he didn't force it.

Although he was pulled by Chen Ping several times, he could tell that Chen Ping was a hearty girl who had no other intentions. Although he was a little embarrassed, he didn't feel embarrassed, nor did he feel that Chen Ping was frivolous. .

Chen Ping followed Liu Cheng to look around again. The street here is full of small stalls that sell things. You can give money or exchange things. They are very flexible.

Chen Ping looked down and found that the currency in circulation here was silver dollars.

We must know that silver dollars were out of circulation in the late 30s, so the calculation time is just right.

But in this way, her money can't be spent here, but it's okay, she has the Taoyuan stele, so she has something, so she doesn't have to worry about not being able to exchange it.

Chen Ping watched Liu Cheng replace the insoles, mushrooms, etc., and some daily necessities.

Chen Ping didn't try to stop them. Anyway, there are many of these things in the village, and she can change them later if needed.

After changing, the two of them went back with the chicken.

Originally, Chen Ping saw that there were a lot of food for sale, and Liu Cheng wanted to exchange one or two for her, but she refused to let it go. Just change it.

When they reached Tunzikou, they met a man.

A woman, should be said to be a young girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, about the same height as Chen Ping, but she looked a little thin. Chen Ping estimated that she was only about ninety catties, and she was the kind of model that modern people envy.

Her facial features are considered pretty, but her skin is a bit dark, with the simplicity of a peasant family.

That's great, why is she so slender, she doesn't look like herself, Chen Ping looked down at her somewhat thick thighs, after walking so much today, she doesn't know if she will lose a little weight.

"Brother Cheng Zi is back, why did you bring the chicken back, didn't you get the salt?"

The young girl laughed when she saw Liu Chengcheng. Of course, she also glanced at Chen Ping and nodded at Chen Ping.

"Meizi, why are you here? I didn't change the salt today."

Liu Cheng shouted, but he didn't say why he didn't get salt.

"Is it the shopkeeper who won't change it for you? They are really serious. They think they are from the town and look down on us. Don't be afraid, I will go to the town tomorrow and talk to my uncle. He is familiar with the shopkeeper. If you can give me a chicken, you can exchange a catty or two taels of salt, and I will exchange it for you."

Meizi hurriedly comforted Liu Cheng, and even took the matter over.

Chen Ping watched silently from the side, she looked at this to mean that this girl named Meizi seemed to be interested in Liu Cheng.

But it's no wonder that Liu Changchang is handsome, strong, hardworking, and has a good personality. It's normal for someone to like him.

"No need, Meizi, let's go back first."

Liu Cheng shook his head and rejected Mei Zi's kindness. He didn't say anything about Chen Ping helping to get the salt, because he didn't know how much salt Chen Ping could help get. In case he could get some, he told Chen Ping, Others wanted to find Chen Ping to get salt, but Chen Ping didn't have it. Isn't that embarrassing?

If Chen Ping really changed the salt for him, if Meizi needed it, he could change some for Meizi in private.

"Okay, grandma must be waiting in a hurry."

Mei Zi didn't say much, she nodded, and then secretly glanced at Liu Cheng, and the three of them walked back together.

When the three of them arrived at Liu Cheng's house, Grandma Ma saw that the chicken had been brought back again. Liu Cheng didn't change the salt or cloth. She was a little surprised and asked.

Liu Cheng didn't say much, so she didn't ask.

She knew her grandson, and there must be a reason why she didn't change it. If the grandson doesn't say anything now, it must be hard to say, and he will ask when there is no one else.
