Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 29 029 East Street Grocery Store

Mu Yu made up his mind and started to act that day.

She shortened the time for growing weeds in the space this day, and planned to visit the situation of the chicken-raising residents on the East Street that Yang Erlang said.

The number of weeds in the mustard space is already considerable, and the benefits brought by increasing them are not as obvious as before.

Moreover, seeing that there will be a bumper harvest of rice, millet, and wheat in a few days or more, although the harvest is limited, it is still enough to make seeds, and there are only two in total in the space. When the land is divided, we have to think about how to use as much land as possible to grow food.

Planting weeds is not as cost-effective as food, so most of the weeds will have to make room for food. It is too wasteful to pull out those weeds and throw them away. Maybe they can be brought outside to plant.

However, whether the conditions outside can be planted and where is another question.

She made a brief plan for what to do next, then took off the "beggar's outfit" she was wearing, changed into clean and intact clothes, gathered up her messy hair, and washed her hands and face.

The little beggar in the spring disappeared, replaced by a little peasant girl with clear eyes.

If it weren't for the overly conspicuous large red birthmark on his face, no one would have recognized the same person.

Unfortunately, this birthmark is too recognizable...

Mu Yu touched the birthmark on his face, and the reflection in the spring water did the same.

She has tried it, and it can't be washed off. It feels rough to the touch, not as smooth as the other side of the face. According to the level of medical treatment in this troubled world, it is unlikely to get rid of it.

In fact, she thinks the birthmark is quite special, and it doesn't affect the appearance, so it's quite beautiful when you look closely.

It's just that other people at this time will not have the patience to look closely. As long as they see the red on the side, they will conclude that she is ugly and ominous. Even the rational part of the people will not think that this is a unique beauty. This is the limitation of the times.

She wiped off the water on her face, left the mustard space, and went to check the situation at the location Yang Erlang said.

The area of ​​East Street is not considered remote. Although the residents are ordinary people, they are definitely not the poorest group, and of course they are not considered rich.

She has only been to this place once, that was the time she secretly followed Yang Erlang to get the porridge a month ago, she is almost a stranger to this place, since she doesn't know anyone here, there is no risk of being recognized.

The Miss Wang and the maids who had interacted with her had not given porridge for a while, and the beggars in the ruined temple had stopped cooperating with Dongjie. Even Yang Erlang, she had inquired about his tone early in the morning and knew that he Working in wild wasteland for several days.

As long as conditions permit, she has always been rigorous in her work, and the more rigorous she is, the more likely she will succeed.

She turned around a few streets and found that there were very few people on the street, and the few people she met by chance had pale faces and walked in a hurry.

Under such circumstances, it was not easy for her to stop people to ask questions, so she had to continue shopping to find opportunities.

She went around the surrounding residents, and even disturbed the dog of a certain family at the back, causing several people to come out with sticks to check. Fortunately, she ran fast and avoided it early.

After making sure that the dog and the person were not chasing after her, she breathed a sigh of relief and continued walking forward.

This is the disadvantage of not being familiar with the environment. Generally, the situation is fine and you can cope with it. When you encounter this kind of situation, it is easy to go wrong.

In this age, the dog can still bark so fiercely, and there are several men in the family, so it can be seen that the family has a strong family background. Indeed, the house is better than the surrounding area.

Hey, this is what she is striving for now!

There is a strong and stable house, how many people live together to ensure safety, and enough food and water to ensure survival...

However, such a small request is difficult to realize for a while...

"Smelly beggar, get out now!"

"Go away! You crazy bastards still want to abduct children, there is no way!"

The scolding sound startled Mu Yu, thinking that he had been exposed, but soon realized that it was not talking about her.

With her current appearance, no one would regard her as a beggar, and there was no one around her, the voice came from the opposite side.

After figuring this out, she felt relieved and carefully turned to the opposite street to check the situation at the source of the sound from a distance.

Not far in front of her, four or five people were yelling at and driving away a beggar.

Those four or five people were all grown men, and two of them still had wooden sticks in their hands. The beggar fell on the ground, looking like an adult, he didn't know if he was hungry or why he didn't make a sound or move his place.

Mu Yu looked at it for a moment, then looked away to look around.

There are quite a few small shops on this street, most of them have their doors closed, a few of them are still half open, and even fewer people gather around the doors to watch the excitement.

She stared at the person closest to her for a while, then looked up at the signboard on that person's head, feeling a little disappointed.

This is a pawn shop.

She had no business to do with the pawn shop, at least not for the time being.

So he walked towards another shop with people standing at the door in the distance. When passing by those people and beggars, one of the people holding a stick gave her a wary look, and quickly turned back indifferently. .

Her disguise was successful, and no one suspected it.

When passing by, she pretended not to care about it, and her eyes fell on the beggar who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, as if she saw the original owner who starved to death on the street.

All of a sudden, thousands of feelings came to my heart.

But by the time she walked to another shop dozens of steps away, these emotions had long since disappeared.

She looked up at the signboard of this shop, Wang Ji Grocery Store.

This is what she was looking for.

That's good, she thought at first, those small shops should have closed long ago, and she has no money in the big shops, so she can only collect them from the residents, which will cause a lot of trouble.

Small shops are better than these two situations, since she doesn't have to find people to buy them one by one, and doesn't drive her away after hearing that she has no money, so there is a possibility of accommodation.

With a timid look on her face, she whispered to the skinny old man standing at the door watching the fun,
"Are there, are there eggs for sale here?"

Although the old man was thin, his eyes were shrewd. After looking Mu Yu up and down, he opened the door and entered the room, saying,

"Come in and talk."

Mu Yu looked at the old man's not-so-strong back, thought for two seconds, and then followed him.

The risk is low and the importance is high. This kind of risk cannot be avoided when you have nothing.

Fortunately, she was out of luck. After entering the door, no group of people rushed up to control her, only a teenage boy looked up at her.

The window of the grocery store was tightly closed, and the door was only opened a crack, although it was not too long after noon at this time, it was still a little dark inside.

She saw that the grocery store, which was not very big, was mostly empty, and the places that were not empty were mostly sundries. There were not many serious goods, and there was not even a single grain.

At least not on the surface.

While she was looking at the grocery store, the old man was also looking at her.

"Girl, where do you live?"
