Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 14 014 Barter
When Mu Yu returned to the ruined temple, Yang Erlang was already there.

She waved at Yang Erlang, Yang Erlang looked puzzled, but still walked towards her.

She smiled and took out the weeds from her pocket and stuffed them into Yang Erlang's hands, whispering,
"Here, these are what I promised to give you yesterday. I have traveled a long way to find these."

Of course, no matter how low her voice is and how subtle her movements are, she will always be noticed by interested people. She also has the idea of ​​making some deals with people after letting people know.

Although it is still a bit risky, as long as you take your time, there will be no major problems.

Yang Erlang looked at the verdant weeds with surprise in his eyes. Now it is very rare to see such juicy grass outside, and there is only a piece of withered yellow.

He refused to accept it.

Mu Yu forcefully stuffed the weeds to him, and said,

"Aren't we friends? If you don't accept it, I won't want your things in the future either."

So Yang Erlang collected the weeds, sat back in the corner and ate them.

Mu Yu watched him eat in relief, and then turned to look at the other people in the dilapidated house. When they saw her looking over, some people looked away first, and some people met her eyes.

She saw various emotions such as greed, envy, numbness, and contemplation in the eyes of these people, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. This is really not a good place to do business.

But this is also the only place she can touch at the moment. There is no better choice, so she can only feel and try.

The weeds in the mustard space are growing up one after another. In the past few days, she has more than 100 mature weeds, which is enough for her to eat and eat every day, and she can even raise one more person It's okay to be full.

Moreover, she is still dividing and increasing the number of weeds, and there will be more weeds in the future. She should use all the weeds that she can't digest.

Broken temple is an option.

Although it's not the best, in this troubled world, what better choice is there for a little beggar like her?

……

For the next two days, Mu Yu brought back a few weeds every day and shared them with Yang Erlang. Yang Erlang also shared the food he got with her, such as half a piece of sesame seed cake before, and half a piece of corn bread today.

The two quickly became close in the process of sharing.

Mu Yu is happy that the relationship between the two has improved, and she is also happy to get other food. The only thing that is not very happy is that after a few days, no one came to her to exchange anything with her.

Not that no one noticed the weeds she brought out for days on end.

Every time she went out in the past two days, she felt that someone was following her behind, probably because she wanted to know where she found the weeds, so she tried to lure them to the river depression on the other side of Huangsha City, where there was water. Indeed, there is still grass growing, but you have to look for it carefully.

This was an excuse she had thought of a long time ago, but most of those people stopped following after less than half of it.

That's right, she has Yang Erlang's share of sesame seed cakes and steamed buns to eat, and all-you-can-eat weeds. Although her complexion still looks bad, she has good strength and spirit, at least much better than those beggars who followed her.

Those beggars who can get food look down on the three or two weeds she brings back every day. Only those beggars who can't get food and want to get something for nothing will follow her, and these people are very strong in physical strength and persistence. lack of.

Mu Yu is very helpless about this point, although it is a good thing not to be suspected to get to the bottom of it, but it is not what she wants to see if no one comes to trade with her.

Perhaps, she should express her purpose more clearly?
Or, should I choose a suitable target to take the initiative to attack?

After making up his mind, Mu Yu began to observe the dozen or so people living in the dilapidated house, trying to find trading targets among them.

This dilapidated house is not big, it was originally a remote guest room in a corner, now there are fifteen or six people crowded together.

Except for her and Yang Erlang's mother and son, there are about ten other people.

Excluding the thorny and unfriendly people, such as Mrs. Wang's family of three, and two other men who are always cursing, there are six or seven people left.

Only these six or seven people can barely choose for her to choose. As for the people outside the dilapidated house, those who live in the same house have not been settled yet, so let's not think about those who are far away.

Just doing what she said, she began to observe and analyze these people, trying to find a suitable person to trade.

However, she didn't stay in the ruined temple for a long time every day, and observing people was a delicate job, so it was supposed to take a while, even three or two days.

But there are always exceptions.

The next day, as soon as she returned to the ruined temple with a handful of weeds, a haggard woman came up with a half-jar of water and said she wanted to exchange the can of water with her for two weeds.

"The child looks really greedy, and there is nothing else to change, this jar of water was brought by the child's father during the day, and it is clean.

Just replace your two grasses, one will do. "

A look of joy flashed across Mu Yu's face, but she quickly covered it up.

"Cough, auntie, I'd like to exchange weeds for you, but I can get water myself, so there is no shortage of water."

The woman looked happy when she heard the first sentence, but lost face when she heard the last sentence, and glanced at a seven or eight-year-old boy who was holding the door frame and looking towards the side.

"But we don't have anything else to exchange today. Everything we can eat has already gone into our stomachs..."

As the woman spoke, she lowered her head and wanted to go back.

Mu Yu hurriedly called her to stop,
"Auntie, I'm not talking about food, other things are also fine."

The woman stopped in her tracks, with distress and doubt on her face, and a hint of shame in her tone,
"But we don't have anything else, we have nothing..."

Mu Yu stopped being devious and said directly,
"Does Auntie have any extra bowls or jars, barrels or something like that?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, her face still a bit confused,

"There are a few, you ask this...you mean, you can use these in exchange?"

Mu Yu nodded.

The woman stood and thought for a while, looked at the boy pulling the wall, then at the grass in Mu Yu's hand, and finally said,
"Come with me."

Mu Yu followed the woman for two steps, and came to a corner full of sundries. Outside there was a fence made of stones, branches, and weeds. Buckets and baskets, and one or two pieces of clothes.

These are all blocked by shacks.

She was overjoyed, isn't this the trade partner she wanted?
It's really easy to come by!
The woman picked and picked for a while, and took out a good bowl and a pitcher for Mu Yu to pick.

Mu Yu withdrew his gaze from the barrel, and chose the pitcher without hesitation between the bowl and pitcher.

It is not very useful to have an extra bowl. Although the jug does not hold as much water as the wooden barrel, it is several times stronger than the bowl.

The woman showed a somewhat tangled look, Mu Yu knew what she was thinking, so she spoke a step ahead,
"Auntie, I know that two stalks of grass can't be exchanged for this jug, so can ten stalks do it?"

The woman really relaxed, so Mu Yu knew that the woman was satisfied with the price, and she was also very satisfied.

"I'll give three first, and bring seven more tomorrow."
