Chapter 124 Mountain goods, game for sandals

After eating the durian, everyone saw that the children of accountant Liu’s daughter were wearing colorful new sandals. They had never seen these shoes before, even a few of them had relatives in the city.

Relatives' children have worn it, and it's not as new or good-looking as the ones worn by these children.

Needless to say, Liu Chen must have gotten these from relatives in the city. The key is that he actually got so many pairs at once. He is really capable. It is difficult for most people to get a pair of these shoes, mainly because they are not cheap.

I want shoe tickets. It is unimaginable that anyone can have so many shoe tickets at once.

Only then did everyone see that not only the children were wearing new sandals, but Youdi and the others were also wearing new shoes. There were more than a dozen pairs at once. Where did this kid get them?

Captain Liu also felt strange. This boy is quite capable. Thinking about the children in his family, although not all of them have bare feet, they were all made by his own women, and the eldest child was all mended and mended if they were too small.

Give it to the second child and pass it down one by one.

"Did you get the shoes on your nephew's feet?"

Captain Liu has wanted to ask this question for a long time. He still can't figure it out. How can this guy get so many pairs at once?

Don't understand, can't understand, can't figure it out.

"The second uncle in my city got this from the coast. It didn't cost shoe money. I thought it was pretty good, so I exchanged it for wild boar meat and wild boar belly to wear for my family."

It doesn't matter to Liu Chen, he is a professional at lying anyway.

Oh my God, this guy talks so lightly. The relatives in this city are so powerful, and they can get so many pairs for free.

The children in the team looked at Liu Chen's nephews and nieces running around in their shoes. They felt so envious. They wished they were Liu Chen's nephews.

"Mom, look at how beautiful the shoes are on their feet, I want them too."

He slapped his child on the buttocks with a "slap". Children in this era were all skinny, and the spanking made the buttocks turn red without crying.

"You don't want to think about what's going on at home and what kind of shoes you can wear in the summer without freezing your feet."

In this era, most children don’t wear shoes in summer, and some families don’t wear shoes in winter.

Liu Dameng held his grandfather's hand and looked at the shoes on Liu Chen's nephew's feet, and then at Captain Liu.

Captain Liu glared and said, "Go away and play, it's useless to watch me."

"Achen, what do you do with these shoes?"

Although Captain Liu scolded his grandson away, he still wanted to ask about the price.

"Anyway, people in the city seem to be wearing clothes that cost two yuan a pair. I used wild boar meat to get them."

Liu Chen didn't dare to quote a high price because he was afraid of Captain Liu's pipe pole. This Captain Liu really hit his head and it hurt a lot.

When everyone heard this, they said, good guys, two yuan for a pair of sandals can buy a lot of repurchased grain. For a family with several children, that is several yuan. Oh my God, this is too expensive.

Captain Liu was also shocked. Normally, shoes made of cloth only cost a few cents. Many families could not afford them. For this guy, a pair of shoes cost two yuan. What he was wearing was not shoes, but money.

I was a little bit tempted to buy shoes for my children just now, but now I have given up the idea. In summer, it is better not to wear shoes. Besides, isn’t it good to not wear shoes in summer for so many years? Who doesn’t want to buy shoes for their children? The key is that they can’t afford them.

ah.

Not to mention other things, I felt that it was not cheap. Even a few ladies found it unbelievable that it was too expensive. A pair of shoes costs two yuan. Oh my God, do my feet deserve to wear such good shoes?

Several sisters heard that shoes cost two yuan, so they planned to replace them, so they decided not to wear them for now and would rather wear their own rag shoes. These shoes were reserved for the Chinese New Year, but when I thought about it, they seemed a bit inappropriate to wear during the Chinese New Year.

My feet are frozen. Forget it and take them off. I wear them for weddings and weddings in the team, and when visiting relatives.

Wang Mudan still felt distressed, but this guy was so generous. He gave Liu Kunxiang three pairs at once. That was only six yuan, which could buy several hundred kilograms of repurchased grain.

It's too expensive, it's a sin.

Everyone thought again, they seemed to have heard that Liu Chen had used wild boar meat in exchange for it. Such poor wild boar meat could be exchanged for such good sandals.

Aunt Zhang stared at her small eyes, walked up to Liu Chen and asked: "Liu Chen, you just said that wild boar meat can be exchanged for sandals, right?"

Liu Chen said with a smile: "Not only wild boar meat can be exchanged, but also wild boar belly, pheasant, hare and other game meat, as well as mushrooms and fungus can be exchanged for sandals."

After hearing this, Aunt Zhang ran home with a smile. She thought that she still had a large piece of dried wild boar meat and a pair of dried wild boar belly at home, which could just be used to exchange for a pair of sandals. Forget the children's shoes, she wanted to exchange them for her own pair.

It would be nice to go to your parents' house to look good, otherwise you would be looked down upon by your sister-in-law every time you go back.

Soon, Aunt Zhang came with wild boar meat and wild boar belly. The bacon was going to be saved for the New Year. Anyway, the family was not very fond of wild boar meat, so they simply took it to change into sandals.

Liu Chen put the remaining shoes in the yard. Everyone looked at the colorful shoes. Not to mention, they looked really good under the sun.

"Aunt Zhang, you can choose a pair, either for adults or children."

When Aunt Zhang heard that she could change, she was so happy that she danced with joy. She chose a pair of yellow ones and put them on her feet, which were just right.

"It looks good, Aunt Zhang. This suits you really well. It looks so good."

Everyone looked at the sandals Aunt Zhang wore on her feet. These shoes were really good, and her temperament was obvious. She looked elegant.

When other people saw the new shoes that Aunt Zhang was wearing, they all ran home to get something that could be exchanged.

After a while, everyone came back, carrying dried pheasant, hare, muntjac meat, deer meat, roe deer meat, and some dried mushrooms, fungus, dried bamboo shoots...

Everyone put their things in front of Liu Chen and waited for Liu Chen to say something to see if they could change into sandals. Not to mention adults' shoes, even children's shoes would be fine. Anyway, they were all bought from the mountain at home, except for the extra cost.

Time and effort don’t cost money. Who would be short of time and effort when it comes to the key?

Wang Mudan frowned as she watched her son exchange his sandals for these pheasants and mountain products. He would get some of these wild products as long as he went up the mountain. But sandals were different. They only cost two yuan a pair. They are not something you can buy if you want.

Still feel a little distressed.

Liu Chen saw what his mother was thinking, walked to her side, and said with a smile: "It's okay, my second uncle is good at my grades. Maybe he will get me other good things in the future."

Wang Mudan watched her son say this and did not stop him.

Here are two pheasants exchanged for a pair of children's sandals, two hares exchanged for a pair of children's sandals, a large piece of muntjac meat for adults, and any pair of children's sandals.

There are also some mushrooms and fungus. If there are too few, let me pick out shoes first and wait to make up for them next time.

Liu Dameng was a smart boy. He ran to find Liu Hu and borrowed two soft-shell turtles first, saying that he would catch them and return them to Hu Zi next time. At first Hu Zi was reluctant and said he also wanted to buy a pair of sandals, but later

Seeing that there were no men's sandals at all, he had no choice but to lend Liu Dameng two large turtles to change into sandals.

"Uncle Chen, give me two tortoises."

Liu Chen turned around and saw two big turtles in the bucket in Liu Dameng's hand. They were really big compared to others, so he took them away.

Captain Liu looked at his eldest grandson, when did this kid catch the turtle? He was quite fast.

"Did your kid catch you?"

"No, I borrowed it from Uncle Hu Zi."

Captain Liu took a puff of cigarette and said that his eldest grandson was quite smart.

"Da Meng, go pick it up quickly."

Liu Dameng happily knelt down and picked out a pair of yellow ones, which fit just right on his feet.

"Da Meng, change to a bigger pair. This pair is a bit too small." Liu Dameng's grandmother saw the shoes her eldest grandson was wearing and said quickly.

Liu Chen looked at it and saw that it was just right, not too small.

"You can wear it for a few years if you change it to a bigger one. Change it to a bigger one."

In fact, Liu Dameng didn't want to change because the larger one didn't fit his feet and was uncomfortable, but when he thought that the larger one would last for several years, he decided to change it.

"Sister Qiaozhen, you're here too, hurry up and pick."

Li Qiaozhen came carrying a basket of mushrooms, fungus, and dried bamboo shoots. She also brought two rattan baskets that she had made by herself. They were really beautiful.

"Lotus, plum blossoms, you can choose them yourself."

Liu Hehua picked a pair of pink ones, and Liu Meihua picked a pair of light purple ones. They wore them on her feet. Not to mention how happy they were.

"Sister Qiaozhen, go pick out a pair yourself."

Qiaozhen looked at Liu Chen, shook her head, and said sheepishly: "I won't choose, I don't have so many things to trade with you."

Is Liu Chen someone who cares about that kind of thing?

The answer is definitely no.

"It's okay, just pick it up. If you don't have enough, you'll owe it now. You can get more when the time comes and make up for it."

After hearing what Liu Chen said, Li Qiaozhen also picked a pair of white ones and hugged them in her arms.

You have one pair, and she has one pair. After a short time, these dozens of pairs are almost gone.

Liu Chen thought to himself, let alone this thing, it is really easy to deal with. When I bought it, it cost only a few yuan, and it can be exchanged for so many good things. It is really unexpectedly good. Next time I have a chance, I will have to

Bring more, and at least make sure that all the children in the right group have shoes to wear.

"Uncle, is there any more? Is there any more?"

At this time, the dog left came. Everyone was getting game and mountain products, but this boy actually cut a basketful of green grass.

Everyone looked at Gou Sheng and laughed, this child is just a child, who wants this grass?

"Uncle, can I exchange my green grass for sandals?"

Gou Sheng looked at Liu Chen and didn't answer. He felt that he definitely didn't want it, so he lowered his head and fiddled with his fingers.

"It can be changed."

As soon as Liu Chen finished speaking, everyone looked at Liu Chen. There is something wrong with his brain. This grass can be used to exchange for sandals. Isn't this crazy? Green grass can be seen everywhere in the mountains and plains. What else can you do besides feeding pigs?

"Well, Gou Sheng, your grass is a little short. I'll give you the sandals first. You have to cut some grass every day to feed the sika deer and wild boar, so that my uncle can change them for you."

"Okay, I'll cut it for you every day."

Gou Sheng said with a smile and put on the sandals he chose on his feet.
