Gu Qi, she just wants to farm

Chapter 8
"Are there perilla leaves to harvest?"

"receive."

When I heard it was perilla leaves, the stall owner became interested.Nowadays, the world is not good, and medicinal materials are becoming more and more scarce.Perilla leaves have many uses, which are suitable for the current market, and are accepted in many places.

"Look at the color first."

Perilla leaves are not valuable, and no refugees dare to make trouble in front of the wandering Jianghu people.Gu Qi generously took out the package and opened it up.

The stall owner took a few slices and looked at them:
"The drying is not bad. It's just a little less. This package can be exchanged for thirty cents. Do you want money or food?"

"If you want food, give it to me with dry wowtou." Gu Qi thought for a while.

The people who want to come to the Zhou family will leave the town at the latest tomorrow, and they will not be slow before leaving Yuzhou.

He and Gu Danian didn't have a car or horse to travel, so there wasn't much time reserved for him when his family rested next week.It is a waste of time to cook with coarse grains along the road. It is better to save trouble at Wowotou.

Before the famine, one penny could be exchanged for two wowotou, but now, a dry wowotou is worth five pence, which is also priceless in the market.

Ordinary grain shops have been closed long ago, and there are not many people willing to sell rations. Only the people who sell medicinal materials and iron tools can have fixed ration exchange, as long as they don’t need money.

A bag of sun-dried perilla leaves was exchanged for six wowo heads.He took the old cloth and wrapped it tightly around his waist.Turning around, I saw a few beggars and refugees sitting slumped in the distance, and looked here from time to time.

Gu Qi didn't care and asked the stall owner, "Do you receive astragalus?"

"Do you still have astragalus?" The stall owner Yixi said, "How is the condition, and how many are there?"

Gu Qi took out a section and handed it out: "There are not many, you can take a look first."

"Cut it? It doesn't look like the root." The stall owner wondered.

"It's been some years, and the roots and branches are long, so it's hard to take them. I only took a few sections." Gu Qi was telling the truth, but the ones he took out were not the best ones.

Wild astragalus that is old enough is a good thing, and the market in Yuzhou can't be exchanged for a good price. In addition, astragalus is inconspicuous in the shape of a tree root, and the victims of disasters are far safer if they don't know the goods.

"Looking at more than eight years, this time for money?"

After checking the leather surface carefully, he squinted at the black, thin and inconspicuous little girl in front of the stall, and chuckled lightly:

"I didn't expect it to be a big customer.

Girl, I'm not going to lie to you. Usually, a piece of astragalus of this size can be exchanged for two taels of silver, but now I can only give you five coins.How much do you have, how much do I charge. "

"Not much, there are four pieces in total. Give me two or two." Gu Qi did not hesitate, and turned to take out the other three pieces of astragalus that had been wrapped in advance.

Yuanan Town is located on the border of Yuzhou to the south and adjacent to Jiangzhou. After leaving Yuzhou, all the way to the south, Jiangzhou has many rivers, and the drought is naturally relieved.

Two taels of silver are not unexpectedly enough to walk into Jiangzhou Mansion.

"Girl, no one is here to pick you up?"

The money and goods were clear, and the fat stall owner with a fat body stretched out his finger and pointed to the refugees gathered in twos and threes in the distance, teasing.

He has also set up a stall in Yuanan Town for more than half a month, and he is very clear about the behavior of the refugees and beggars nearby.

The gangs, the stalls of Jianghu people, these people dare not ask for trouble, but they are rarely polite to those who come to pawn alone.

The original people in the town naturally also knew that if they wanted to pawn for food, they had to find a few strong workers from the family to come out with them.To avoid being stalked when you go back.

The easiest thing to tell is the outsider, or a nearby farmer who knows nothing and has nowhere to go. They are sure to be surrounded by people when they leave the street.

Gu Qi looked at the distance with a calm expression, then turned to pick a small rough-crafted dagger from the stall and asked, "What's the price?"

The stall owner raised his eyebrows: "Do you want this? Count you five coins."

Gu Qi thought about it and took out six coins from the silver taels he had just earned: "In exchange for a dagger, add two wotou, and then twenty pieces of cakes and coarse grain cakes. Give me a bowl of water."

"Deal." The stall owner chuckled and accepted the money, handed over the packaged noodles, wotou and water, and waited with great interest to watch a lively event.

Fighting is physical labor, you have to eat.

It was still early, so Gu Qi was not in a hurry, and bundled some amount of coarse grain bread tightly on his back, just then he just finished the two dry wowtou with water in a slow manner.

This was the most complete meal that Gu Qi had ever eaten. The unfamiliar feeling of fullness that he had not experienced for a long time made Gu Qi's stomach a little uncomfortable.

It's time for some exercise after dinner.

There are yamen officers patrolling the town, and it's not easy to cause people to die.

Sure enough, he just turned out of a street, and the refugees who followed one after another quickened their pace to outflank them.

Gu Qi looked at the surrounding environment sideways, and chose an alley to turn in.

Fortunately, it was a dead end. The courtyards of the residents on both sides had already been locked, and dusty debris was piled up everywhere.

Gu Qi was in a good mood, picking and choosing, and he really found a bamboo basket of good quality.

I don’t know how many days it will take to go out of Yuzhou. I have a basket. If I am lucky, I can collect some medicinal materials along the way, which is better than a package.

"Little girl, leave the food and money on your body."

Gu Qigang placed the bamboo basket he picked up in the corner, and behind him, at the entrance of the alley, the same family surrounded seven or eight tall, thin middle-aged men with hungry faces.

Gu Qi turned around and smiled: "No hurry, first talk about what you have on your body?"

Xu Shi did not expect that a besieged little girl not only did not panic when she saw her group, but also smiled.For a while, the few people didn't pay attention to the meaning of Gu Qi's words. They just looked at each other and thought to themselves:

Shouldn't it be that I met a fool, it's really a sin.

"Little girl, although you are young, let's not embarrass you, leave everything on you, I will make the decision, and let you go in peace."

The leader was a young man with broad shoulders and a thick back. He looked much better than the few refugees behind him.After speaking, he glared at Gu Qiyi, bared his teeth and threatened:

"If you don't obediently put down your things, be careful that the brothers will tie you up and sell you to other people."

"It's a pity, it's worthless to sell you a few. I don't know if the gang will accept the labor of mining."

Gu Qi took a few steps back and moved his muscles and bones at will. After eating and drinking, the gradually recovered physical strength and the adaptation during this period of time made Gu Qi use this body more and more fit: "Don't talk nonsense, do it."

The crude dagger was dancing without seeing the blade. Gu Qi tapped the edge of the wall with one foot and leaped for life. Before the man in front of him could react, the dagger slid across his neck.

Gu Qi controlled the strength of his hands, leaving a narrow and long opening on the man's neck, reddish blood seeping out, but only scratched the skin and did not really hurt the meridians.
