Reborn in the 1970s, Zhang Sanniu's new life

Chapter 12 Going to the Village to Trade Chickens

San Niu and her friends loaded a cart with cloth and yarn and set off for the village!

After driving for a few minutes, they arrived at a village. San Niu asked the driver to drive to the middle of the village. San Niu and the others got out of the car, each carrying a piece of cloth and a bundle of yarn. They dispersed and called out in the village. Hearing the calls, people quickly came out to see what was happening!

San Niu and the others told the villagers that they could trade chickens for cloth and yarn. If anyone wanted to trade, they could go to the car in front to exchange.

Upon hearing this, the villagers rushed home to catch chickens, and soon the car was surrounded by a crowd!

San Niu told Wang Cuihua to come to only one side of the car door. San Niu stood on the car and shouted, "Everyone be quiet and line up here. I'll tell you how to exchange. Cloth and yarn don't need coupons. You can exchange three catties of chicken for one foot of cloth or one catty of yarn. Listen carefully, three catties for one foot of cloth, or three catties of chicken for one catty of yarn. One and a half catties of yarn is enough for adults to knit sweaters, and seven or eight liang is enough for children. It's a great deal!"

San Niu turned her head and said, "Auntie, you're in charge of measuring the cloth, and Mom, you're in charge of getting the yarn and weighing it. Don't rush. Let me collect the chickens and settle the accounts before we move on to the next one."

After dividing up the tasks, San Niu and the others quickly and happily took their new cloth and yarn back home!

In this one village, San Niu and her friends exchanged half a cartload of cloth and yarn. After the last person who exchanged cloth left, San Niu and her friends got back into the cart and headed to the next village!

Soon the car arrived at the village. The driver drove to an open space in the middle of the village, and San Niu and the others took their things to call people. As soon as they heard that it was to exchange cloth and yarn, they all hurried home to catch chickens!

San Niu and the others explained the exchange process to them again, and everyone happily lined up with their chickens on their backs, waiting to exchange their cloth or yarn!

In a little over an hour, they finished changing everything on the truck. I never expected that such a large truckload of goods could be exchanged between two villages!

San Niu and the others quickly got into the car and went home!

Sitting in the car, Sanniu said, "Uncle, will you come with us to the city again to get cloth and yarn?"

"Okay, we'll go to your house and unload the chicken first," the driver said.

The driver drove to San Niu's house, unloaded all the chickens, got back in the car, and drove into the city!

When they arrived at the yarn factory, this time San Niu didn't take a note. She went straight to the warehouse and found the older woman there!

San Niu said with a smile, "Big sister, I don't have time to get the permit today, can you let me load the goods first!"

"It's alright, Manager Wang has already instructed that you don't need to bring a slip anymore when you come to pick up goods. You can pick up whatever you want," the older woman said.

"Oh, that's great! I was worried. Let's pick them then!" San Niu said.

San Niu and Wang Cuihua quickly made their selections. They paid for half a cart of yarn, then went to the store's warehouse and picked out half a cart of cloth. They loaded the cloth onto the cart and went straight into the village to exchange it for other goods without going home!

This large cartload of cloth and yarn passed through two more villages. By the time they reached the last village, it was already dark. "San Niu shouted from the cart, 'Does anyone have a lamp? I'll give them a pound of yarn in return!'"

"I have some at home, I'll go get it," the woman said, before she could finish her sentence and ran home!

In no time, the light was brought over. The driver turned it on, and San Niu hurriedly held the light to help illuminate the way, otherwise they couldn't see. San Niu took a pound of yarn and gave it to the woman who brought the light. The woman was overjoyed. That pound of yarn was enough to knit a sweater for her child. Everyone else was extremely envious. They never expected such a good thing to happen!

After the last person finished exchanging their things and left, there was still more than a pound of bad yarn left. San Niu took it and said, "Big sister, thank you for lending us the lamp today. Here's some less-than-good yarn. Take it back and knit a dress for your child!"

"Thank you so much! The woman is overjoyed!"

"Oh, by the way, auntie, I live in Zhangjia Village up ahead. My dad is Zhang Laosan, and we also buy and sell pigs! Could you please tell everyone in the village that whether they're exchanging cloth or selling pigs, they can come to my house?" San Niu said.

"Really! We raise a lot of pigs in our village, and we're worried about not having anyone to buy them! That's great, we'll take the pigs to your house tomorrow!" the woman said happily.

The woman happily informed the others that they had gone, and San Niu and the others took a car home!

When San Niu and the others got home, everyone who had been working had gone home, and Da Niu and Er Niu had already prepared the meal!

San Niu said, "Uncle, the food is ready. Eat before you go back. Oh, and come over for lunch tomorrow. After lunch, help me out by hauling a load of goods to the factory to sell. There are still two factories in the county that we haven't visited yet. A load of goods should be enough!"

“Okay, I’ll come tomorrow. No problem, one truckload isn’t enough, we’ll make another trip,” the driver said.

The eldest daughter made a big pot of pork offal soup and steamed a big pot of buns. After the meal, the driver happily drove home!
