I, the one in the heavens, am here to protect my bottom line in all realms.

Chapter 4 Bartering for Things
  Today, not to mention the one-fifth chance, it is only triggered once in the whole day, and that’s fine.

Zhang Chengyuan couldn't help but fantasize, and his steps seemed much more cheerful.

Because of the half bag of rice in the morning, she was full of motivation today. She was also very lucky to get three mysterious items, bubble balls.

At night, Zhang Chengyuan used the firelight to pop three bubble balls with great anticipation.

The first item she got was salt. A small tank high as her calf was full of salt, and it was as white as snow. Only then did she remember something. People who don't eat salt for a long time will lose their strength.

The second item is seeds, which are packed in bulging small cloth bags as big as a palm. There are many kinds. Zhang Chengyuan doesn't recognize many of them, but this thing is an extra thing. It can only be said that it is better than nothing.

The last item is a quilt, a thick cotton quilt.

Zhang Chengyuan couldn't say he was unhappy when he looked at these three things. It was all for nothing, but they were not so satisfying.

None of her talents were upgraded. She sighed quietly, went to the house to find pine needles, spread them thickly together, and put the quilt on top.

Then he found rattan and sat by the fire to weave baskets, baskets and boxes.

After working until late at night, she finally drove out one of them, and then she yawned and took a rest.

When she opened her eyes again, it was another day of soreness and discomfort all over her body. She got up with difficulty, suppressed her inner resistance, ate some kiwi fruit, and went up the mountain again.

I hope today's bubble balls will be more powerful and I can give her a pot or something. She really doesn't want to eat kiwi fruit at all, and now she feels a little nauseous just thinking about it.

She still didn't go deep into the mountain today. She was searching and collecting in the outer areas of the mountain where few people went. With the preparations from the previous two days, she was careful every step she took, and she didn't encounter any snakes, insects, rats, or ants.

At the end of the day, the harvest is quite impressive.

At night, Zhang Chengyuan once again popped the bubble ball with great anticipation.

She got a total of five today, and she felt that she had a high probability of achieving her expectations.

The first one is two sets of dishes, each set has four plates and two bowls. The reason why they can be distinguished into two sets is that one of them is brown and the other is dark brown.

The second one was fifty logs, each as thick as her waist and about two meters long.

The third one was a machete. It looked very sharp, but it was still not the pot she expected.

The fourth one was copper coins, a bunch of copper coins. Zhang Chengyuan was really shocked when she saw this. She had thought that there was everything in the bubble ball, but she never thought that money could be made out of it.

She picked up the copper coins and counted them. It was no more than a hundred coins, which suddenly diluted her expectations. It was just a pot. She couldn't buy it even if she had money.

However, the last one unexpectedly got a large iron pot with a wooden lid but no spatula.

After a pause, Zhang Chengyuan accepted.

She counted the harvest in these three days in detail, and suddenly found that it was basically enough for her current life.

Food is available, money is available, and the things that are lacking do not have to be needed immediately.

But the money is still a little short...wait, why don't you barter for money?

For a moment, Zhang Chengyuan only felt that the idea was clear. Why did she subconsciously ignore it? She would exchange the salt for something tomorrow.

After a good night's sleep, Zhang Chengyuan got up early the next day. He filled a pottery bowl with a full bowl of salt and planned to exchange it, but he felt it was inappropriate.

In ancient times, salt was no more important than in modern times. She was afraid that it would be impossible to fill a full bowl by herself, so she poured half of it back and felt it was enough.

But looking at the half bowl, she still hesitated. After thinking about it, she poured some more, and then she felt it was appropriate. After going out, she was a little hesitant and didn't know whose house she should go to.

The identity information provided by the system does not include any information about the neighbors, and it is not known who is easy to get along with and who is not.

After struggling for a while, Zhang Chengyuan chose the principle of proximity and went to the house closest to his home.

As she approached, she heard a noise from the door. She quietly exhaled and knocked on the door.

"Who is it? It's so early in the morning."

The voice was a little unpleasant. Zhang Chengyuan thought it was an old woman, so he politely said: "Mother-in-law, I am Chengyuan from Zhang Orion's family."

"Coming, coming~"

The old woman Zhao Lihua put down the broom and walked to open the door while wondering who Zhang Chengyuan was. She finally remembered who Zhang Chengyuan was before opening the door.

I muttered to myself: Is this girl’s filial piety over? I don’t know what you are here for? This is the first time she has come to the house. This girl used to be a boring gourd and didn't like to talk to others.

The moment she opened the door, a smile appeared on Zhao Lihua's face: "Girl Chengyuan, what's the matter?"

Zhang Chengyuan put the bowl filled with half a bowl of salt in front of Zhao Lihua's eyes, letting her notice, and then said: "Mother-in-law, I want to exchange something with you."

When Zhao Lihua saw the snow-white thing, she was stunned for a moment, not sure what it was, and asked doubtfully: "Daughter, what is in the bowl?"

Zhang Chengyuan immediately thought of the difference between ancient and modern salt, and immediately thought of saying: "Mother-in-law, this is the best salt. It is the snow salt that my father brought back to me as a dowry before he was alive."

As she spoke, Zhang Chengyuan wanted to cry, but unfortunately the tears did not cooperate. She could only pretend to have tears, lowered her head and wiped them with her sleeves, taking the opportunity to rub her eyes red.

When Zhao Lihua heard this, she didn't even look at Zhang Chengyuan. She just stared at the so-called Xue Yan, naturally ignoring Zhang Chengyuan's rough acting skills.

Darling~ And this salt looks expensive. I don’t know how it is different from the salt I usually eat!

Zhao Lihua smiled brightly and said, "Daughter, will you give it a try?"

Zhang Chengyuan neatly changed his title and said: "Sure, aunt, please try it."

Zhao Lihua rubbed her hand on her body, then reached out to twist it to taste it. She was too embarrassed to take more of this precious thing.

He smacked his lips, savoring the pure salty taste in his mouth, and sighed in his heart that it is expensive for a reason.

Not only is the color of the salt they usually eat not as good as this, but the taste is not as good at all. Not only is it bland but also bitter.

Zhao Lihua hesitated and asked: "Daughter, what do you want to change? If it suits me, I will change it. If it doesn't, don't be surprised. My aunt's family is also poor."

Zhang Chengyuan raised his head and smiled sheepishly with red eyes: "Aunt, I want to change some vegetables and onions and garlic. I wonder if my aunt has an extra large vat at home. I also want to change it. Aunt, can you see if it's suitable?"

Zhao Lihua made calculations while listening to her words. Vegetables and onions and garlic were not worth much, but a large vat was not cheap. When she bought it, she spent two hundred Wen. Now the price of salt is only forty Wen per catty. She The most in this bowl is twenty cents for half a catty. Good salt should be regarded as forty cents. No matter how expensive it is, I can't afford it.

Zhao Lihua said sheepishly: "Daughter, it's not that my aunt thinks your things are not worth the price. It's really expensive and my aunt's family can't afford it."

Zhang Chengyuan immediately understood what she meant. She just felt it was inappropriate and didn't want to change. She thought about it and said, "Auntie, do you think this will work? I'll give you a hundred cents more?"

Zhao Lihua was a little moved, but still felt at a loss, so she didn't express her position.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Chengyuan thought about what else he could add. After thinking about it, it seemed that the only thing he could add was rice. After all, wild fruits and vegetables were not rare in the mountains.
