The Village Chief was annoyed: “Then, is there any grain left? We can’t grow grain until at least next summer, and that requires the land to be restored to cultivation, otherwise, there may not be new grain the year after next! You fool!”
The man stopped talking.
Ruan Ning quickly interrupted: “Then you guys take the salt and medicine first, and give me a chick. I’ll go down the mountain and bring the things up to exchange for another one.”
The Village Chief hesitated and said, “Okay, I’ll wait for you here.”
Ruan Ning did not forget to instruct: “If there are ducks, pigs, sheep, and the like, we will also take them in.”
After exchanging the items, Ruan Ning and Zhou Sulan hurried down the mountain. She asked the system: “Is anyone following us?”
The system said: [No, it seems that this Village Chief is quite honest.]
Ruan Ning breathed a sigh of relief and asked Zhou Sulan to put the chicks away. She then took out a rubber boat from space and piled most of the supplies into it.
The two people waited there for more than half an hour and then dragged the rubber boat up the mountain.
Fortunately, it rained heavily for several days, so the land next to the concrete road was muddy, otherwise, the rubber boat would be worn out and could not be dragged.
Soon, the two of them returned to the place where they encountered the militia.
Sure enough, they were still waiting there, and a man came over with a pair of ducks.
This time, they were big ducks.
Ruan Ning’s eyes lit up. She exchanged fifty catties of compressed biscuits for the chicks first.
The Village Chief said: “This duck is so big. You should increase the price, right?”
Ruan Ning pursed her lips and said, “No, what we just agreed on is what it is. I won’t lower the price even if you bring out the chicks.”
The Village Chief immediately said loudly: “Then, we won’t change it. Ducks can still lay eggs and give birth to ducklings, which are much better than compressed biscuits.”
Ruan Ning said calmly: “Then, I’ll find another place to collect it. I can find a few more places. It’s no problem.”
Zhou Sulan was anxious.
If they didn’t give the duck to them today, it would become a frozen duck when they returned, and it would be impossible for it to produce ducklings and duck eggs. This person would be at a great loss.
The Village Chief may not really want to change, but the man who brought the duck over was so anxious that he almost wiped tears.
“Uncle Li, I want to change. We really have no salt left, and my wife also needs medicine. Maybe we can survive this.”
Ruan Ning asked: “Does she have a fever?”
The man looked at Ruan Ning and nodded without saying a word.
Ruan Ning thought for a moment and said, “I can add two fever-reducing pills, but there’s no more.”
The man was overjoyed: “Change, change, change immediately!”
After taking the two ducks and putting them on the boat, Ruan Ning asked, “What do you want?”
“I want two bags of sugar, 20 bags of salt, two boxes of anti-inflammatory drugs, and 40 catties of compressed biscuits.”
Ruan Ning handed the things to him and gave him two more antipyretic pills: “This is a good thing. It should be used on those who need it.”
The man smiled happily: “Of course, I’ll give it to my wife. I heard that there’s not a single pill of antipyretic medicine in the city. Thank you so much.”
Ruan Ning smiled at him: “This is a fair trade. No need to thank me.”
The man ran away quickly.
