The aunt agreed to take a look first, which was the first step to a successful transaction.
Shen Xiaobei was very happy to hear this, and immediately left the farmers' market and walked to a secluded place nearby.
He put down the backpack and looked around cautiously.
After making sure it was safe, she looked at the space to see what supplies there were that would not be too rare or surprising in this era.
After selecting a few items, I did a simple mental arithmetic to calculate the total price.
Then he used his mind to take out 5 kilograms of white sugar, 5 kilograms of rock sugar, 5 kilograms of brown sugar, 5 kilograms of fruit candy, 5 kilograms of peanuts, 5 meters of cotton cloth, and two pairs of black cloth shoes that the aunt should be able to wear.
There are snacks to eat, drinks to mix with water, food to cook and make porridge, and clothes to wear. It’s quite rich.
According to the local prices at that time, it is estimated to be worth about 30 yuan, which can be exchanged for four hens weighing three or four pounds. Whether the other party takes these things home for personal use or resells them, he will not lose money.
If you resell it well, you can make more money.
Shen Xiaobei thought that the aunt would be moved.
After putting these supplies away, she immediately covered the basket with cloth and went to the farmers' market to find the aunt and let her take a look.
You don’t know until you see it. Once you see it, the aunt is shocked.
However, in order not to attract attention, the aunt lowered her voice and asked, "Girl, how come you have so many good things?"
"Haha, that's right, Auntie. My brother and sister-in-law work in a big city, and they're well off. They brought these things back from the big city, and my mom usually saves them together and doesn't want to use them."
"If my sister hadn't had heavy bleeding from childbirth two days ago and was very weak, she wouldn't have been willing to take out some hens my mom wanted to buy her to nourish her."
"Oh, your sister had heavy bleeding during childbirth. This is very dangerous! Many women experience this during childbirth. They either die at the time or during the confinement period."
"Oh, yes, Auntie! My mom is worried that my sister won't make it through the confinement period, so she took out all the goodies she had saved up but was reluctant to use, hoping to exchange them for a few hens to nourish my sister."
"Otherwise, if she can't make it, then..."
Shen Xiaobei lowered his head and blinked twice, and didn't continue.
Pretend to be in a heavy mood.
"Girl, being a woman is like this. Giving birth is like going through hell for a woman!"
"Hey, Auntie, since we're both women and it's not easy for us, I'll trade these four hens with you. Take them back and give them to your sister to nourish her!"
"Really? Thank you, Auntie. Thank you so much!"
"You're welcome! You gave me so many things to exchange, so I didn't lose anything. I should thank you! Today was the fastest I've ever sold all my chickens!"
"Haha, that's good, as long as Auntie doesn't think it's a loss!"
It’s true that routines have always been popular since ancient times!
Seeing that the aunt agreed readily, Shen Xiaobei felt a little emotional.
She had no intention of deceiving anyone.
However, she felt it was worth it to make up this unconventional lie as a temporary expedient, as it would eventually allow both parties to reach a deal and benefit from it.
After agreeing on the barter, both parties went outside the farmers' market to conduct the transaction privately for the sake of caution.
