"Just take it. If you're going to be so formal with your great-uncle, I'll get angry!" The old man glared at the little girl with a stern face.

"I'm not being polite, I really don't lack money!" Bai Nuo looked at the old man who was about to make a scene with amusement.

"I don't care if you need it or not, just take it. Your great-uncle hasn't had a chance to give you pocket money for the past two years. This is all that your great-uncle has saved for you. I didn't have time to give it to you last time, so I'm giving it all to you this time. Buy whatever you want. The one thing your great-uncle has the least to lack right now is money!" The old man, rich and domineering, stuffed the stack of ten-yuan notes in his hand into the little girl's shirt pocket.

Well, I have no choice but to give it to them!

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, I'll keep it!" Bai Nuo patted his shirt pocket, which was stuffed with a stack of 100-yuan notes, and smiled helplessly.

"That's a good girl!" The old man was finally satisfied. He sat back down on the chair at the entrance of the scrap metal yard and waved to the little girl. "Alright, hurry back while it's still light. Don't just bury yourself in hard work in the countryside. Buying work points with money is the same thing."

"Okay, I got it!" Bai Nuo nodded, then suddenly remembered the roast chicken. She quickly took the net bag that she had casually put on the tricycle. It was still warm to the touch, thankfully the weather wasn't cold.

"This is a charcoal-grilled chicken that I just bought from a state-run restaurant. You can take it home and eat it later. It smells so good to me."

"Hey, is that old guy in the kitchen of the state-run restaurant in such a good mood today? He's up to his old tricks again."

Upon hearing this, Bai Nuo knew that the old man was no stranger to charcoal-grilled chicken.

"Do you know him?"

"Yeah, he lives nearby and likes to stroll over and chat with me when he's free. Grilled chicken is his specialty, and when he's in a good mood, he'll have someone go to the meat processing plant to buy some chickens to cook."

The old man said that, but he didn't take the grilled chicken and handed the net bag back.

“Take it back and eat it. I’m on good terms with him. If I really want some, I can just tell the old man.”

The old man also craved this, but the old man in the kitchen of the state-run restaurant was very willful. When he got angry, he wouldn't do anyone's order, so it was a real struggle to get him to cook something decent.

However, the old man felt even more sorry for his own daughter, Niu Niu, a little girl who had been pampered and spoiled by her family since childhood. Suddenly, she was sent to the countryside, where she could hardly even get a bite of meat.

If we hadn't been forced to do it in the first place, we wouldn't have sent the child away, and we certainly wouldn't send her to the countryside to suffer now.

Thinking of this, the old man became melancholy again, and the result of his melancholy was that he wished he could carry his mortar back and blast those bastards.

Once those old guys find something on those bastards, he'll beat them to a pulp.

"You can keep it, I don't need any meat, I really don't need any meat. Okay, okay, let's go!" Bai Nuo quickly pushed the roast chicken back, then jumped onto the tricycle and drove off.

"Hey, you little rascal..." The old man looked speechlessly at the rickshaw that was twitching loudly, then glanced at the net in his hand, smiled helplessly, his eyes full of gentle affection.

Bai Nuo rode his tricycle through a small road, finally finding a secluded spot. He then took the tricycle back to his space and propelled it towards the trading location on the outskirts of the county.

If I rode a bike there, I'd definitely be late.

Once they arrived at the transaction location, Bai Nuo made sure no one was outside before releasing the humanoid creature, which was wrapped up tightly. Along with it came several large sacks and a wooden cart loaded with several extra-large waterproof bags.

Bai Nuo arrived just in time. A Lei waited in the woods for less than ten minutes before Yu Xuling arrived with several of his brothers.

Yu Xuling received the goods list from Bai Nuo in the morning, knowing that there were several livestock that had just been slaughtered. He had someone check their freshness and, after confirming that there were no problems, he began to settle accounts with A Lei.

Two people who couldn't speak each held a sheet and silently began to reconcile accounts.

There were four boars, each weighing 220 jin (approximately 110.5 kg). In pig farms of that era, most pigs weighed between 120 and 150 jin (approximately 60.5 kg). Being able to raise a pig to 200 jin (approximately 100 kg) was considered extremely good. Yu Xuling never expected that this person would find pigs weighing over 200 jin (approximately 100 kg), and four large boars at that. He was completely impressed by the person in front of him, whose face he couldn't even see clearly.

He didn't know that these four were the lightest animals that Bai Nuo had specially selected from the space animal farm.

The average price of pork on the black market is 80 to 90 cents per pound. Of course, this is the price without ration coupons, so it is naturally higher than the price in the regular market. During holidays, it can reach 1.7 yuan.

Yu Xuling's harvest price was naturally not that high. It wasn't a holiday or a famine year, so he basically bought it for five cents a pound.

A 220-pound boar, after deducting the offal and large bones (which are worthless), was priced at 90 yuan per head, according to his agreement with Bai Nuo. The four boars would cost a total of 360 yuan.

The two sheep cost a total of 160 yuan, and the big yellow cow cost 110 yuan.

Twenty chickens and twenty ducks, each weighing about four pounds, were purchased for three yuan each, totaling one hundred and twenty yuan.

Fifty pairs of women's plastic sandals, four yuan a pair, totaling two hundred yuan.

Five large bags of hair accessories, totaling five thousand pieces: three thousand hair ties at three cents each, and two thousand hair clips at eight cents each, totaling two thousand five hundred yuan.

Five hundred dresses, each costing thirty yuan, totaling fifteen thousand yuan.

Two hundred Lenin suits were purchased, each costing forty dollars, for a total of eight thousand dollars.

The total value of this batch of goods is 26,450 yuan.
