Chapter 5 Mushrooms for Eggs
Tangchi turned around with the mushroom in his arms.
Tolerate!
Taking a deep breath, Tangchi continued walking towards the place where there were people.
Most families in the village can barely afford to eat. Where can they find spare money or exchange vegetables for mushrooms?
Tangchi suddenly felt a little discouraged. It seemed that she could only eat mushrooms every day.
Most of the afternoon passed without finding anything, so Tangchi decided to go back. With this time, he might as well go to the woods to pick mushrooms!
Just as Tangchi turned around and walked back, a female voice suddenly appeared.
"Hey! Is she the daughter of the Tang family? Come, let me take a look at your mushrooms!"
Tangchi felt excited and immediately turned around and ran over with the mushrooms in his arms.
"I haven't eaten mushrooms for a long time, how do you sell these mushrooms?"
Tangchi looked at the young woman flipping mushrooms in front of him. Her skin was not as sallow as the others here, but a little moist. Although the clothes were not made of good materials, they were very clean and without patches. Her eyes were not like those of the villagers.
It's so turbid, but people are also very energetic.
"I asked, how do you sell these mushrooms?" She raised her head and asked, holding a mushroom.
Only then did Tangchi come to his senses. "Oh, I'm just exchanging it, not selling it. You can exchange it with vegetables or salt."
"Oh? How to change it?" She raised her eyes and smiled, with a hint of charm.
"One Chinese cabbage is exchanged for ten mushrooms, one Chinese cabbage is exchanged for two mushrooms, one potato is exchanged for three mushrooms...it's up to you to exchange for the rest. It's easy to discuss."
After listening to Tangchi's words, she couldn't help but smile. "I don't have vegetables, but I have eggs. Let me trade them with you."
"Okay!" Eggs are considered meat after all. Tangchi's eyes lit up.
"How do I change the eggs?" she asked.
"This..." Of course eggs cannot be counted by size.
"One egg and eight mushrooms?" Tangchi said.
"Come with me." The young woman agreed readily and walked towards her home with Tangchi.
"You wait here, I'll get the eggs."
Tangchi stood at the door and looked at the yard. This woman's family seemed to have a better life than other families in the village, and there was a big chicken coop in the yard.
"Take it." The young woman handed over the two eggs and held a basket in her other hand.
Tangchi refused to take it, and lowered her head to count the mushrooms. After counting sixteen mushrooms, she put them in her basket, and then took the eggs.
Looking at the eggs in her hand, Tangchi felt her heart full. She wished that four words appeared above her head - transaction successful. Even the salt matter was forgotten in her mind.
While walking back, Tangchi met an acquaintance.
"Tangchi girl!"
"What a coincidence!" Tangchi wanted to say hello but didn't know his name.
This is the boy who gave her sweet potatoes last time.
"I just came back from the fields! Why are you here?" He held the hoe in one hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead with the other hand.
Our very sincere Tangchi deeply remembered the young man who gave them sweet potatoes, so he smiled kindly at him and said: "I picked up some mushrooms and wanted to exchange them for some vegetables or salt, but I ended up changing them for two."
egg."
"These eggs belong to Widow Zhang's family, she is the only one in the village who raises chickens." The young man looked at the mushrooms and then at the eggs.
Widow Zhang...
Tang Chi remembered.
"Widow Zhang came back not long ago. I heard from my mother that she used to be a concubine for a master in the city, but then the master died and she came back. But her parents died a few years ago, so she was the only one
