Siheyuan: Activate the farm system at the beginning

Chapter 43 I'll trade you the old hen

30 yuan for an old hen, that was the price before the famine.

Like now, we are in a period of famine and all kinds of supplies are in short supply.

Not to mention 30 yuan, you may not be able to buy it even with 50 yuan.

Old hens can lay eggs. In this age of material scarcity, eggs are the best nutritional supplement. No one would be stupid enough to sell their old hens.

"Young man, these things are what every household in our village relies on for survival. It is impossible to sell them."

Sure enough, the village chief shook his head repeatedly after hearing what Li Changlin said.

This is even more ruthless than the previous purchasing staff. Others only purchased some eggs or some mountain products at most.

And the guy in front of them actually wanted the old friend they depended on for survival.

Li Changlin was a little unwilling and asked again: "Is it true that there are no animal cubs to sell?

Price is not an issue, as long as the product is available.”

Li Changlin didn't know that his previous words had caused the village chief to misunderstand him, thinking that he wanted to buy the old hens in the village.

"No, really not. This is not a question of money."

The village chief shook his head repeatedly and decisively rejected Li Changlin's transaction request. Not to mention old hens, even other animals were not available. Which household doesn't have to worry about the livestock they raise now?

"Why don't you ask someone else? Or I can trade you an old hen."

Li Changlin also knew that he would not be able to buy it if he simply tried to buy it from them.

But if you exchange it, there may still be a chance.

The reason they are reluctant to sell is that after they sell, they will lose the things they depend on for survival.

No one knows how long this drought will last.

They can only try their best to ensure that they can survive in this world.

"Oh, did I hear you right? You mean you want to trade us the old hen?"

The village chief was shocked and even doubted whether he had heard it wrongly.

You already have old hens, why do you want to exchange them with us?

The village chief really couldn't understand Li Changlin's thoughts.

"Yes, village chief, you heard it right. If you are willing to sell other animals besides chickens, I can choose to exchange them with old hens."

Li Changlin nodded solemnly.

For other people, raising an old hen takes a very long time.

But for Li Changlin, it was just a matter of one night.

To be precise, it only takes eight hours for a hen to fully grow into a hen that can lay eggs at any time.

Now Li Changlin’s farm can raise six chickens at the same time. If Li Changlin is willing and calculates the time right, he can raise eighteen chickens in a day.

The price of a hen is enough to exchange for most small animals.

If one doesn't work, add another.

If that doesn’t work, keep adding more.

"Ah, are you sure you want to exchange the old hen with us?"

The village chief still couldn't believe what Li Changlin said.

Because this transaction is really hard to understand.

If it is really possible to exchange old hens for other animals, I believe many people in the village would be willing to do so.

An old hen means that there will be fresh eggs in the future.

In this age when it is difficult to get food, eating meat is even more out of the question. An egg is enough to satisfy people.

The temptation of an old hen is greater than you might imagine.

"Yes, you heard it right. As long as we can get it, we will never cheat anyone."

Li Changlin nodded firmly again.

"I don't know what you need to exchange? Do you have a specific list? This will also make it easier for us to sort it out.

I wonder how many hens you have? Is there a limit on the number of hens you can redeem?"

After getting confirmation, the village chief has made up his mind that he must let everyone exchange for an old hen so that their life will be better in the future.

“In theory, there is no upper limit, but it depends on the animals you are exchanging, the more the better.

But some old hens may need me a little more time.

Now I have four hens.”

Li Changlin looked at the number of hens in the farm, and immediately moved the hens out of the nest and replaced them with new chicks.

This time, in order to get more hens, all hens were chosen.

"No problem. I will gather the people from Qinjia Village and ask them to go home and see if they can take out something to exchange."

The village chief thought that Li Changlin only had one old hen, but he didn't expect that there was no upper limit. With such an affordable exchange, it would be best if every household could exchange one.

If possible, you can even go to the next village to purchase and earn some commission from it.

However, if you want to exchange more, it depends on the inventory of each household.

"Okay, thank you, village chief. It doesn't matter what kind of beast it is."

Li Changlin thanked him quickly. If one wanted to make a purchase in the village, the quickest and most convenient way was to go directly to the village chief.

"Please wait here for a moment. I'll go get someone."

The village chief nodded, then quickly left his home.

At this point in time, all the people were doing farm work in the countryside, and the village chief had to start jogging.

They quickly arrived at the place where everyone was farming, and quickly asked the people nearby to help with beating gongs and drums.

Once the gongs and drums are beaten, it means that there is something important to be announced.

Hearing the sound of the gong, everyone working in the field was a little stunned. They didn't know what was going on and started talking to each other.

But they did not stop, but continued to move towards the direction of the gongs and drums.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Why did you suddenly call us in an emergency?"

"Could it be that the superiors have some important instructions?"

"Will there be any food distributed to us?"

"You're overthinking it. It's good enough that you don't collect grain from us, but you're even thinking about distributing grain to us."

"Captain, what happened?"

"I don't know either. I'll find out if I go over and take a look now."

"I've been working on this for a long time, so my work points must be counted."

"Well, everyone, let's go over and take a look to see what happened over there, the village chief."

While discussing, everyone quickly moved towards the direction of the gongs and drums.

After a while, everyone working in the field had come to the road next to it.

Many anxious people saw the village chief and couldn't wait to ask: "What happened to the village chief?"

"Let's wait until everyone comes over first. It's not a bad thing anyway."

The village chief did not answer him, but waited for others to arrive with a smile.
