Chapter 7 Change the Salt
"Okay, then I'll go to the town together as Big Brother Zi."

Chen Ping nodded and agreed. People here still call it a town, which is indeed old enough. How can people call it a town now?

If you come here, you will be safe. Chen Ping has nothing to do, and she is curious about everything here, so she wants to see it too.

In this way, Chen Ping and Liu Cheng set off. Liu Cheng was not empty-handed. He was carrying a basket with some things in it: there were insoles embroidered by Grandma Ma, soles of shoes made by Na, and a few strings to wear. Dried mushrooms, a small half bag of pine nuts, and a tied chicken.

Chen Ping wanted to help Liu Cheng carry things, but Liu Cheng refused, and the two left the village.

The roads are all dirt roads, not wide, some places are flat, and some places have potholes. Compared with the asphalt road, it is really not easy to walk.

"It would be nice to have a bicycle or a motorcycle."

After walking for two miles, Chen Ping was a little out of breath. She was fat, sweated a lot, and didn't like walking very much. At this moment, she missed the convenient transportation in the city.

"what is that?"

Liu Cheng asked puzzledly, he couldn't understand what this big girl said a lot.

"Bicycles have two wheels, and people can ride them. Riding is much faster than walking."

Chen Ping explained that there are no bicycles here, so it is really hard for her to tell Liu Cheng.

"Is it a wheel cart? We also have it here, but it has to be pushed, and it's not faster than people walking. If you are tired, take a break, and next time I will push you with a wheel cart."

Liu Cheng thought for a while and said, there are only two rickshaw cars, but people can't ride them.

Chen Ping opened her mouth, but she was unable to explain. The explanation was not clear, so she could only choose not to speak.

"If it's fast, it has to be a cart pulled by mules, but we don't have mule carts in our village, and there are not many villages with mules, and there are more mule carts in the town."

Liu Cheng talked about mules with Chen Ping again.

Mules are rare in modern times, and Chen Ping has only seen them on TV, but this does not affect the chatter between Chen Ping and Liu Cheng.

Chen Ping and Liu Cheng talked about everything here, and from Liu Cheng's mouth, Chen Ping knew a lot of things here.

This place is a bit like when it was not liberated, but it wasn’t exactly like that. It seemed that when the island country wanted to invade here, the town was closed on its own, so it was not invaded by the island country and was preserved intact.

Preservation is preserved, but since then it has never communicated with the outside world, and everything here is still in that era.

It's not completely stuck in that era, and it has also improved, but compared with the outside world, this progress is really too small.

Using Chen Ping's idea is very backward, just like going to a town now and can only walk on two legs.

Amid Chen Ping's wheezing and panting, they finally arrived at the town.

The town is much larger than the countryside, but it is incomparable with modern cities. When you walk in the town, you can't see any modern atmosphere. It is a bit like the era of liberation shown on TV.

However, the town is still much better than the village. There are many shops and stalls in the town. It looks much more prosperous than the village.

Chen Ping followed Liu Cheng to the grocery store.

Grocery stores are incomparable with modern supermarkets, but for the people here, everything is complete.

Liu Cheng looked at the salt first, and Chen Ping followed.

The salt here is the kind of coarse salt with a bluish color, which is incomparable with the fine salt used in modern times.

"What, this chicken can only be exchanged for a catty of salt?"

After hearing the price, Chen Ping stared. In modern times, salt is not a valuable thing at all. A bag of salt costs about two yuan.What about a chicken?There are about one hundred little stupid chickens, how much salt can I buy?Only one catty can be exchanged here.This boss is too black-hearted!

"If you don't want to change it, just go aside. Salt is expensive now. I can change it for a catty because you are pitiful. Next time, it might be worthless. That is to say, I am open-minded and talkative. You can go to another shop to see. Who is fair to me."

A middle-aged man said with a dark face. I don't know if he is the shopkeeper or a buddy. Anyway, in Chen Ping's opinion, he is not well dressed, but his arrogant appearance seems to be very impressive.

What Chen Ping wanted to say, Liu Cheng shook his head at her.

Well, she is not from this place, and she doesn't understand the market, so it's better not to speak, Chen Ping shut up.

"Uncle, can I exchange these for salt with you?"

Liu Cheng showed the middle-aged man what was in the basket.

"I don't want these rags. If you want to exchange them, you can exchange them with your chickens. If you don't want to exchange them, you can leave. Don't delay my business."

Middle-aged people look down on insoles, soles, mushrooms and so on. These things are worthless, but salt is expensive.The people in the village below are worth a little more. Except in the town, there is no salt in other places, so he doesn't worry about the other party's rejection.

Liu Cheng was a little embarrassed. He looked at the salt and then at the chicken. If the chicken was replaced with salt, he couldn't buy cloth. Although he didn't particularly want cloth to make clothes, he understood grandma's thoughts better.He had already reached the age to talk about marriage, but his parents had been away for several years, he had to keep his filial piety, so he didn't marry a wife, and his grandma fell ill again, paralyzed on the kang, which somewhat delayed his marriage.

Now that his parents' filial piety period has passed, grandma is anxious to let him get married, so she entrusts someone to marry him.This means that relatives naturally have to see each other, although everyone knows what his house is like, but if he wants to go to the door of the woman's house, he can't go there in rags.Grandma asked him to make a new set of clothes, so that if he came to the house, it would look better, and it was also a kind of respect for others.

He knew grandma's thoughts and couldn't bear to disobey her.

But there are only a few chickens left, and I really started to say goodbye, there are still many things to do, and there are many things to buy, many of them have to be exchanged for chickens, I am afraid it is not enough!
Forget it, don't cloth it.What kind of person Liu Cheng is, can't be determined by just a piece of clothing. If the other party doesn't want to see him or marry him because of a piece of clothing, he has nothing to say.

Liu Cheng made a decision. Just as he was about to change, Chen Ping grabbed him and said loudly, "If you don't want to change it, you won't change it. We won't change it!"

Chen Ping didn't want Liu Cheng to suffer. Let her take this chicken out, and she could exchange a lot of salt for Liu Cheng, so she didn't need to look at other people's faces here.

Liu Cheng looked at Chen Ping holding his hand, and was so shocked that he forgot to speak. It was the first time he was held by a young woman besides the elders, and it was the first time he had sex with a young woman. Such intimate contact.

He felt hot where he was being pulled, and his face turned red for a while.

"Hmph. Don't change it here, let me see if you can change it in other places!"

The middle-aged man glared at them and said angrily.He is very clear about the prices of the shops in this town. He is not worried that these two people will not come back for a while. At that time, he will give nine taels at most, and let them pay him back!
