Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 505 - 46: Da Dan, the Strongest!_2

Yes, Da Dan’s nutrition has been keeping up lately, which may have signaled his body somehow. He’s entering the tooth-changing phase.

A bit late, but in this era, it’s quite common.

Chu River looked at the gap in Da Dan’s teeth, a bit bewildered—those cornbread cakes were indeed tough to chew, she used to grind them slowly.

"Is that how it is?" She was a bit confused, having never experienced changing teeth herself.

"That’s exactly it!" Da Dan said decisively.

...

However, before she could ask anything more, Da Dan had already quickly run off to the kitchen to wash dishes and pots, and then hurriedly started unpacking the burlap sack with Gu Ping.

The two of them each rode a bicycle, a big sack strapped to the back seat, both coming back fully loaded.

Da Dan was in a hurry to cook, and Gu Ping didn’t want to appear too eager on that front, as if he was losing out, so he held off until now.

Inside the two sacks, one was filled with an abundance of fruits and vegetables, and the other was what he found.

"These old coarse cloths were discovered by me."

Gu Ping was almost wagging his tail in pride—he asked a few places and they all said no, if he hadn’t accidentally seen a household sunning their sheets made of this coarse cloth, he would’ve missed it.

Yet, this pride hadn’t even lasted two minutes before Da Dan started to chatter away and calculate:

"Aunt, the vegetables we got today are enough for us for two days, only cost 1 yuan and 2 cents."

Oh, it’s our fault for being such good eaters, otherwise, this bunch could’ve lasted five or six days.

Chu River, who had just made a ton of money: Only 1 yuan and 2 cents, is it really that cheap?

"I also took the flawed coarse cloth, managed to gather 11 yards in total, this is expensive, 23 yuan."

Daya rushed up excitedly—

"Pretty good, pretty good, the flaw isn’t an issue, it’s just not woven well here, probably due to a yarn connection problem... But it won’t affect us making bed sheets, pillowcases, or duvet covers!"

"I’ll sew a flower on this spot!"

Thinking about that day, acting too quickly, following the aunt’s arrangement, cutting the sheets from the high-price cloth...

Daya regretted it.

It was so hot that day, spending money on bamboo mats was one thing, but why cover with sheets? Wouldn’t layering two pieces of clothing work in the cold?

Those flawed cloth pieces could all be used for making clothes...

Daya started to ponder in her head, once these sheets were made, she’d tidy up their original ones, wash them clean, and make them into clothes again.

—Can’t waste cotton cloth like this.

"And eggs!"

"The villager said the supply and marketing cooperative collects eggs at 3.5 cents each, but they have to deliver it themselves. We can exchange ourselves for 4.5 cents each!"

The supply and marketing cooperative sells eggs for 5 cents each.

And they have to queue up to get them.

There are many in their family, and previously, they found Uncle Chen to buy eggs because it was inconvenient to transport back and forth, they had to consider it at no less than 5 cents each, but at least no need to fight over them.

With this back and forth, they could save quite a bit.

"However, today we couldn’t carry anymore, so we didn’t get eggs. Aunt, tomorrow evening I’ll bring a bamboo basket over."

No need to fear the basket bumping around, at worst just add an extra cent to get some bran and rice husks to stuff inside the basket, keeping it steady.

The bran and rice husks could also be added to meals— 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Forget it.

Da Dan thought regretfully, today aunt didn’t seem particularly satisfied with the mixed grain rice, it’s surely because the bran affected the taste.

Next time, I won’t use these, just save them to feed the chickens.

—"And chicks!"

"An old lady from the brigade said if we wanted, she could secretly give us a batch. Aunt, they added a head in the house and secretly raised 10 chickens! We could do that too, the yard is so big, backing on the mountain without anyone around, why not build a chicken coop and raise 20?"

Chu River refused in one shot: "That’s not possible, too many chickens are too noisy."

Chu River was clear about the current situation.

The old lady could raise 10 chickens, surely she had her own connections. Though they weren’t unconnected here either, it truly wasn’t necessary just for a few chickens.

"Alright then."

Da Dan’s expression was glum, but quickly, he perked up again:

"Aunt, I exchanged for quite a few vegetable seedlings, I’m going to plant them now!"

With that, he took out a small basket full of vegetable seedlings from the front rack of the bike.

Gu Ping, who didn’t even have time to speak: ...

—It was clearly a journey for two, why did he feel so unnecessary?

Instead, a few kids cheered, and even Daya came over:

"Peppers, cucumbers, string beans, water spinach, pumpkins..."

These little ones, though young, seemed to know quite a lot, mimicking and muttering:

"Isn’t it a bit late to plant cucumbers now..."

"No worries, at worst they’ll bear fruit later, even if they don’t, we’re not wasting money. If they do, we save on vegetables."
