Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 25 02592 Weeds
Mu Yu left the ruined temple and walked towards the river depression to the south for a while. After making sure that no one was following her, she found a hidden place to hide and entered the mustard space.

She had checked and confirmed this place a long time ago. It was very safe and concealed, so it would not be easy to be discovered. Even if she was discovered, it would only be that she was "sleeping".

She entered the mustard space and started the day's work.

First, nearly 120 weeds, more than 50 millet trees, and more than [-] rice trees were watered. The water in the spring was just enough for one watering.

Then she started to divide the weeds. Now that she has more time and needs, she is no longer satisfied with the goal of dividing ten plants a day.

In one day, she gave birth to 62 weeds!

Adding the original ones, she now has [-] to [-] weeds, and the daily consumption of [-] weeds can fully keep up with the growth rate.

After working hard to grow weeds for most of the day, she found a place to sit down, picked twenty weeds that were the most tender and tasted best, and ate half full with the restored spring water.

Then she pulled out another 92 weeds in today's plan, [-] of which were used for trading, and [-] were used to share with Yang Erlang.

She chooses tall and long weeds, such as foxtail grass, thatch, wild wheat, etc. A hundred of them make a big pile. The thighs are much thicker, and the visual impact is still great.

She thought about it, and found a piece of shabby clothes she bought before, and wanted to wrap this bunch of weeds, but the clothes were so shabby that a part of them would always be exposed, so she had no choice but to take off a piece of clothes on her body, and finally achieved purpose.

Even though it has been about half a month to exchange supplies with those children, she still has not enough. Fortunately, the situation in the ruined temple has opened up, and there will be many more people trading with her in the future than before. A lot of supplies will be available soon!
For example, among the 92 weeds to be traded today, there are two pieces of clothing, a handful of wheat, and other items such as pitchers, clay pots, bowls, and cups.

Thinking of this, Mu Yu immediately came back to his senses, picked up the tightly wrapped weeds and immediately filled the space, heading towards the ruined temple.

She took the small path that she had explored before, and avoided people all the way, so she didn't encounter any trouble and returned to the ruined temple smoothly.

It was still early at this time, and there were not so many people in the ruined temple, and there was no rush of people who wanted to exchange things that she was worried about.

She breathed a sigh of relief, returned to her place, and called the two or three people who had agreed to exchange to come over.

When several people came around with the prepared things, she also took away the clothes outside the weeds, untied the weeds, and spread them on the ground.

Almost at the same time, she heard the exclamation of several people,

"so much???"

"many!!!"

The voices of several people attracted the attention of others. Looking at this side, fortunately, Mu Yu quickly pulled his clothes to cover the weeds, and everyone stopped paying attention when they saw that there was nothing special.

After confirming that there is no problem, Mu Yu looked at several people.

One of the women realized that at this moment, who would dare to reveal that they have a lot of food?

She carefully observed Mu Yu's expression, for fear that Mu Yu would get angry and stop exchanging weeds with them, but when she saw Mu Yu smiling at her, she was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses.

Mu Yu carefully observed these people and the items in their hands, two of them were wearing clothes, and one was carrying a pottery pot, both of them were not much different from what I said before, they were usable, so he couldn't help showing a satisfied smile on his face.

"Show me something first."

As she spoke, she took the neatly folded clothes from the dazed woman, and after looking at them carefully, her eyes were surprised. Although the clothes were old, they were not torn or dirty, which was rare among beggars.

She couldn't help but look at the woman, and suddenly understood a thing or two.

At a glance, this woman is no different from other beggars, but upon closer inspection, she can see that the mess is neat, and the dirt on her face is also a little deliberate. I think her family was not bad before the disaster, but her current appearance should be half desolate, half It's a disguise.

Being scrutinized by Mu Yu like this, the woman felt uneasy, for fear that Mu Yu would find an excuse to lower the price, this kind of thing is very common.

Scarcity is the most precious thing, and food is the most important thing for the people.

The price has been lowered, and if you don’t change it, you will have nothing to eat, and it is difficult to find food elsewhere. Even if you find it, the price may be lowered again. Wotou, who can easily accept this?
The woman is bitter in her heart. In the past, her family was rich and rich and did not worry about food and drink, but now she is no different from ordinary beggars. She and her family have been hungry for two days and have nothing to eat.

"The clothes are nice. Yesterday we ordered about ten grasses, and now I can give you twelve wild grasses."

All the people present looked surprised. They were used to seeing the prices being lowered, but they had never seen ones who took the initiative to increase the prices.

Mu Yu ignored them, counted twelve weeds and handed them to the woman, and said while the iron was hot,
"In my place, as long as things are in good condition, they can be exchanged for more."

The woman took the weeds in her hand and felt sore eyes.

The others nodded, then pushed the woman aside, and showed Mu Yu their belongings.

Mu Yu took another piece of clothes, this one was not as good as the last one, it was dirty and small, it should be worn by a six or seven year old child, and she gave it to eight weeds.

Then there was a good clay pot for cooking, which could just replace the half-broken one she was using, and she gave twenty weeds as agreed.

In this short period of time, she has grown forty weeds, nearly half of the number.

But even so, after these people dispersed, the remaining weeds were seen by others, which still attracted a lot of attention.

For example, Mrs. Wang, who was walking towards the dilapidated house with a weed root in one hand and a pitcher in the other, widened her eyes when she saw the pile of weeds and almost fell down.

But perhaps because Yang Erlang suffered a few times, and Yang Erlang was favored by Boss Zhao, Mrs. Wang didn't come here to make trouble, but just looked at it from time to time.

Mu Yu ignored her, and let her watch as long as she didn't come to make trouble.

Not long after, other people who had made an appointment also came back one after another, and exchanged items with her.

Zhao Cong, Cui Fatty, and Song Gaogao had known each other for a long time. Song Gaogao brought a small handful of wheat and got the hundred weeds she promised, but only took ten. The other two brought a few bowls. , and withdrew the previous ten weeds.

There were other people who came to change the jugs, cups, bowls, etc., not to mention.

It was evening, the sky was getting dark, and Yang Erlang had already returned.

Although I got a good clay pot, but time didn't allow it, so I had to put it away and use it later.

Yang Erlang sat down beside her and gave her half of the buns.

She was counting the weeds and wanted to share half with Yang Erlang, but something went wrong with the count.

According to what she remembered last night, there should only be eight weeds left at this time, and she gave someone else two more weeds, so there should be only six weeds left at this time.

But now, she still has seventeen weeds in total.

She was sure that she did not make a mistake in counting, so someone did not come to trade. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there were indeed not as many people who came today as yesterday.

Maybe I didn't find something to exchange, maybe I changed my mind and didn't want to trade, maybe something else went wrong.

It was already late at this time, and those who haven't come here probably won't come.

Mu Yu came back to his senses, counted nine weeds and handed them to Yang Erlang, and the two sat together to eat steamed buns and weeds.
