Yuan Wense is a bit embarrassed.

"Okay, I'll let you go in and take a look."

Yuan Wense actually didn't have much interest in picking up rags, but he still followed the woman into the garbage dump. There were a lot of worn-out furniture inside, even if there might be sandalwood and mahogany. Yuan Wense didn't have the money to collect them now. There was space.

She can't put these either, so these things are of no use to her.

Yuan Wense reluctantly took a fancy to a crutch, which was a walking stick with a dragon head carved out of a whole stick like the ones found in tourist attractions. The workmanship was quite fine, and her father soon came to use it.

"Isn't this crutch worth thirty cents?" The woman felt a little worried: "I have some good things, but your towel is not enough to pay the bill."

Yuan Wense immediately replied: "I still have several towels, but I don't know what they are?"

"I also have two hot water kettles here. They are both made of 80% new iron shells. They cost at least one yuan."

Yuan Wense happily took out two new towels. This hot water bottle is a very good thing. Although she doesn't need it, her father will definitely use it.

"Then I took advantage of you. I'll give you some more noodles. What do you think? You're lucky. You just happened to meet them. It's almost Chinese New Year and the noodles made by your workplace are something you don't usually want."

Yuan Wense became truly happy at this time: "Okay, is Auntie still here?"

"The flour is 1.35 cents, and the noodles are 2 cents and a pound. I just said I would give you some noodles, so I don't care. You can't lose a penny for serious noodles."

"Okay, give me ten pounds!" Yuan Wense was very generous and took out five more towels, which shocked the woman.

Although the supply and marketing cooperative has everything, the supply and marketing cooperative collects money directly. For Yuan Wense, it is more cost-effective to barter than sell towels at a low price and buy things at a high price.

Yuan Wense went back to the supply and marketing cooperative to make some vinegar, bought toothpaste, and ran out of money.

Fortunately, bartering is still very popular in this era. Both parties to the exchange have kept the prices of their own goods very low. Yuan Wense has experienced low prices.

What the country people exchange for are coarse grains. Cornmeal dregs cost nine cents a pound. A towel is exchanged for four and a half pounds, which is a bargain. You can put this stuff in a soymilk machine to cook corn porridge.

Yuan Wense changed two towels, not because she didn't want to change more, but because the other party didn't accept it.

Now eggs cost 5 cents each, and 0 eggs cost 40 cents. Yuan Wense bought 40 eggs at once. Of course, the other party would not add any more, because the eggs can be used as currency. If his daughter was not getting married, the other party would not be able to

Change into two towels.

Yuan Wense bought two kilograms of pork fan bones without a trace of meat at the pig-killing stall, one kilogram of relatively lean meat, and one kilogram of pork liver. The meat and liver were priced at 75 cents each, and the bones were bought for 25 cents and a half.

As a gift, these five towels were exchanged.

As for cheap things like cabbage and radishes, even if I wanted to exchange them for towels, there was no place to put them. There was a medium-sized backpack on the back, so I could only buy small items.

Yuan Wense was very lucky. She saw a honey seller. She washed a can bottle with boiling water in the space, and used five towels of honey to fill the two-pound can bottle.

Three towels can be exchanged for a chicken, a big hen that has been raised for three years, but the other party only accepts two towels and an additional forty cents.
