Blessed little peasant girl

Chapter 39

Jin Meiyu was going to save some ginger and candy, but she didn't plan to use the family's money, including what her father gave her, she didn't plan to use it.

Therefore, for ginger and sugar money, we need to find another way.

"Only ginger and sugar are not enough. I also need some cloth and cotton for making clothes. Leather seems to be fine too."

After counting the number of people in my heart, the little man was troubled again.

What should I do?

Jin Meiyu returned home quickly, met Jin Mangu and ignored it, went straight into the house, and started counting eggs when she entered the house, but sadly, she could only count to ten.

There was only one and a half baskets of eggs left, and these eggs must not be enough to sell.

Originally, if she could wait another two days, maybe she could still gather a bunch of eggs, but Dr. Li said that the rainy season is coming soon, and obviously time can't wait.

"Go to the river and have a look, maybe you can catch fish."

Giving up on counting the eggs, Jin Meiyu planned to go to the river to have a look, but just as she went out, she saw Jin Manyou running towards her.

When Jin Manyou saw her, he kept waving, and when he got closer, he shouted.

"Little aunt, the people in the village have come to collect food, can you sell your eggs and cabbage?"

Jin Meiyu's eyes lit up, she was really thinking about something.

She nodded and said two words clearly.

"Sell!"

Jin Meiyu can harvest a lot of eggs every day, and the big basket is not light. Fortunately, Jin Manyou is strong, holding such a big basket and piles of eggs, she can easily keep up with Jin Meiyu pace.

Jin Meiyu didn't notice this, her mind is now on the people who collect the grain.

"Who will collect the grain? What is the price?"

"It should be a member of the garrison, pretending to be an ordinary businessman, but the aura is so obvious that it fools us like fools."

"What about the price?" It doesn't matter who collects the food, what matters is the price.

"Eggs cost two cents a penny, and cabbages cost seven cents a basket." He had inquired about these things before he came, and Jin Meiyu weighed them and felt that the price was acceptable.

"Are there many people selling grain in the village?"

"How can there be? Who still has spare food now, every family eats wild vegetables, and the only ones who sell eggs are there."

"Then let's hurry up, what if they don't accept eggs."

Jin is full of energy and doesn't care, after all, if you raise too many chickens, you will die easily. No one has as many chickens as theirs. Even if those people save, they can't save much, so there is no need to worry.

But Jin Meiyu quickened her pace, so he could only follow closely.

It's just that the place to go here is a little different. Jin Manyou's direction is not the entrance of the village, but the wasteland.

As she walked, Jin Meiyu became suspicious.

"Why didn't they wait at the entrance of the village?"

"There are too few people selling it. They didn't know who they heard from before, but they came to Huangtian and asked us if we could sell cabbage. That's why I came to you."

After hurrying, Jin Meiyu finally saw her barren land.

One mu of barren land, after such a long time, with so many people, even from a distance, more than half of it is still green.

Jin Meiyu was puzzled, so she quickened her pace, and before she got close, she heard someone yelling.

"57 baskets, be careful, don't crush it!"

The man turned around and saw Jin Meiyu, glanced at Xiao Liu and Jin Manyou who was carrying the basket, and then smiled at Jin Meiyu.

"This field is yours, right? You came here just in time. There are 57 baskets. Your field is promising. It is half an acre, and you have 57 baskets. Your output is very good. Girl, are you interested in doing a long-term business with us? ? Our price is fair, but the output of one acre of land is not enough, you need to expand more wasteland, let me tell you, little girl..."

Seeing that this person was about to come over and have a long talk with Jin Meiyu, a tall man quickly stopped him with his hand.

"Don't be silly, go to work."

The tall man pushed the man back and asked him to continue loading the basket, turned around and rubbed his hands at Jin Meiyu, asking softly.

"Is it a seller of eggs? We charge a penny for these two eggs."

Jin Meiyu looked at the man with the basket over there, then at the tall man, and finally no one pointed to the basket that was much taller than her.

"This basket of yours is too big, isn't it? With such a big basket, a full basket only costs seven cents?"

The big tall man was also very easy-going when asked.

"Little girl, you are green vegetables, green vegetables are worthless."

"Who said green vegetables are worthless? Why are green vegetables worthless in this season?"

In this regard, the tall man really couldn't say anything.

In fact, at this time of year, everyone is growing food. For this kind of vegetables, farmers usually plant some in front of their houses. If the population is large and the consumption is high, they will leave one or two points of the land and plant a little to improve it. Let's eat.

Like Jin Meiyu, there is really no such thing as an acre of cabbages in this season.

What else did the tall man want to say, Jin Meiyu has already started to learn and use it.

"It's like ginger. What is the price of ginger now? After the rainy season comes, you can look at the price of ginger. Can it be the same?"

The tall man was not angry when he heard this, and even nodded.

"You're right, then what do you think the price should be?"

Jin Meiyu pointed at Huangtian.

"I don't want you to raise the price either, it's still seven cents a basket, but you have to pull out the vegetables yourself."

There were more than a dozen people who came to collect the grain, all of them were tall men, and looking at the people working in the field, they were all children.

The big tall man smiled heartily and didn't think it was a big deal.

"Success, do as you say."

Seeing that he agreed, Jin Meiyu hurriedly called the children in the field back.

The children were also obedient, and when they heard Jin Meiyu calling them, they came over, each of them was in full swing, sweat was all over their faces and body, it could be seen that they had exerted all their strength.

Jin Meiyu was also unambiguous, in front of Da Gao and the others, she first gave them the hard-boiled eggs of these children.

Say it after sending it.

"They help pull out the cabbage in the field, let's go, I'll take you to wash it."

After receiving the boiled eggs, the children were very happy and did not ask any other questions. They cheered and prepared to leave with Jin Meiyu.

Before leaving, she also asked Jin Manyou.

"You stay here and settle the money."

Jin Manyou nodded, isn't it just to watch, he knows this.

Leaving Jin Manyou here, Jin Meiyu took the children and ran to the river in a huff.

Jin Meiyu ran in a hurry. These children were a little tired after working for a while, but it wasn't that they couldn't run, but they didn't understand why they ran.

Jin Meiyu saw that she was far away from the barren field, so she told these children about the rainy season.

After speaking, she asked.

"Have you prepared ginger and sugar? Cloth? New clothes? Cotton? Coal? And food, have you all prepared?"

The children fell silent, they were not prepared for these things.

It's not that they don't want to prepare, but that they simply can't afford these things.

The ancestral hall is regarded as being excluded in the village, and in the ancestral hall, their small group is also being excluded.

They were still young and were squeezed out by older children, and they basically took up all the work that could be done in the ancestral hall.

If you don't have work, you can't get money, and the food and drink are the worst. The manager of the ancestral hall even called it "the ancestral hall does not support idlers."

But under such circumstances, children like them could not survive in a place like the ancestral hall.

Many young children and babies died of disease or starvation. They ran out of the ancestral temple every day just to eat.

They are living very hard, so how can they have spare money to stock up on those things.

Seeing that they didn't respond, Jin Meiyu knew the answer without even saying a word.

"Then hurry up, the money for selling eggs and cabbage is not enough, let's go to the river to see, maybe we can catch fish, and fish can be sold for money!"

What Jin Meiyu said was really taken for granted. It was taken for granted. After they ran along for a while, they realized it later.

"What do you mean? Are you going to raise us?"

It was Dahe who was talking, he couldn't die so much, he even wanted to hold Jin Meiyu and make her stop and speak clearly.

Jin Meiyu didn't let him catch her, she just said.

"How do I raise you? You are all grown-ups. How can I raise you? But it's okay to help. Doctor Li said that it's best to prepare some things to keep out the cold during the rainy season, otherwise it's easy to get sick. Getting sick is a serious problem." It's a dangerous thing, so we need to raise money!"

Still, it's all too reasonable.

Jin Meiyu took it for granted that they should contribute money to them, and took it for granted that they should live.

It was impossible not to be touched, the eyes of a group of children who escaped from the ancestral hall were red, and after a long while, Dahe said something nonsensical.

"It would be great if you can manage the ancestral temple in the future."

Jin Meiyu rolled his eyes at him.

"What nonsense, I don't want to be a widow!"

The ancestral halls in the clan are managed by widows who are not relied on in the village. What Dahe said is like hoping that Jin Meiyu will die in the future.

Dahe belatedly realized that his words were ambiguous and wanted to explain, but Jin Meiyu had already seen the river.

"Hurry up, look, we're almost there!"

When I got closer, I saw that this place was not bad.

Although it is not as safe and strong as the laundry place in the village, fortunately, this river bank is a gentle slope.

Jin Meiyu stood on the bank and took a few breaths. At this time, some little boys had already started to take off their clothes.

To catch fish is to go into the water. Although they have no experience in catching fish, they still know how to catch fish.

Jin Meiyu was very relieved to see them so self-conscious, but she still stopped them when they were rushing into the river.

"What are you doing, the fish haven't come yet, why are you running away!"

"Sister-in-law, don't you want to catch fish?"

"Yes, but haven't the fish come yet?"

Having said this, Jin Meiyu has already patrolled around, looking for grass to feed the fish.

Fortunately, that kind of grass is everywhere on the shore, Jin Meiyu knelt down and grabbed a handful, and then threw it into the water.

Seeing that Jin Meiyu had been lost two or three times, a child hugged the clothes and came over to ask.

"Little aunt, can this be done?"

"Of course, that's what I did last time, and a lot of fish gathered to eat grass!"
