Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 34 034 Second go to the grocery store

As soon as Mu Yu entered the grocery store, he heard a burst of chaotic footsteps, and then an excited and unfamiliar face appeared in front of him.

"Are you here? Are you here to trade weeds?"

In the dark environment, a stranger was pressed against his face at close range in an instant, and the hairs on Mu Yu's back were bristling, and he almost couldn't control his instinct to slap him with a brick.

At that moment, countless guesses and possibilities flashed through her mind.

But after a while, she realized what the situation was, there was no danger, it was just a misunderstanding.

After the shock, the fatigue and violent heartbeat hit, and there was a tinge of rejoicing while cursing in my heart.

What is this guy doing so close all of a sudden!It's like scaring me to death!

Fortunately, the bricks were placed in the mustard space, and there was no time to take the momentary effort, otherwise, if his brain is already blooming, then everything will be troublesome...

However, having said that, if this is the case, it won't help you if you are in trouble, you still have to keep a piece in your pocket.

This world is too bad, self-defense is always right.

Mu Yu thought a lot here, but in the eyes of the old Wangtou and the buddy, he was frightened. Just now the buddy ran so fast that even the old Wangtou was startled, let alone a little girl?

The buddy also realized this, and was hit by the old Wang's walking stick, and walked away resentfully.

Old Wangtou walked up to Mu Yu, smiling kindly,
"Girl, you should be frightened. This brat is just bluffing. He is not sure when he is sixteen or seventeen. Come, come and sit here. If you have anything to say, tell the old man."

Mu Yu had recovered by this time, but still pretended to be terrified.

She sat next to the old Wangtou, and she could see many things that she didn't see last time, such as some food and things behind the cabinet, but she didn't look much.

"Girl, do you want to change eggs this time?

Why haven't you come here for several days? Is it because we haven't saved enough weeds? "

Mu Yu nodded, a little strange in his heart that Old Wang asked the question, and replied,

"Also change the eggs. There are weeds, but Mother said that if we change the eggs, we will be hungry, so we can't keep changing them."

The old king smiled,
"You are short of food, you can exchange weeds for food."

"But, food is expensive."

"It will never be more expensive than eggs."

Mu Yu: ...it seems to make sense.

Although she will be able to harvest a wave of wheat and millet in a few days, but that amount is not enough to eat.

Besides, in this famine year, who would dislike the abundance of food?
"Then, how much weed can be exchanged for a catty of grain?"

The old Wang smiled wrinkled his face, thinking that this girl was hooked, and said,
"Food is expensive in this disaster year, but there are also cheaper ones.

For example, the bran, and the old grain, most ordinary people buy these when they come to my place.

As for the price, it changes every few days now, so I won't argue with you, just talk about how much weeds to change. "

Mu Yu nodded, indeed, it's useless to tell her how much money she has, she has no money, and she won't get any money in a short time.

Even if she has money, she will immediately exchange it for food. Money in troubled times is still money at this moment, but it may become waste paper the next moment!

Um, maybe scrap iron, scrap copper!
Gold and silver may preserve their value, but she doesn't even have copper coins. What about gold and silver? It's impossible!

The old Wang continued to speak,

"I thought, for the bran, if you count twenty weeds per catty, and for the old grain, if you count one hundred weeds per catty, what do you think?"

Mu Yu quickly thought about something.

How much is a pound of bran?This thing is very light, two bowls are definitely available, maybe more than three bowls, calculated in this way, it is very cost-effective compared to exchanging two bowls of a little more bran for twenty weeds in the ruined temple, and it is a little bit less profitable some.

Although she doesn't like to eat, she has to stock up some for emergencies.

What she wants is old food, and old food is also food, this is serious food.

However, a catty of one hundred grasses is not too little. It's not that she can't take it out, but it's too conspicuous to take it out.

"One, one hundred trees, is old grain so expensive?"

Old Wangtou laughed twice and said,

"Girl, it's not expensive at this time, a catty of old grain can be exchanged for seven or eight catties of bran, so I'll give you a bargain.

Think about it, is that the case? "

Mu Yu was silent for a moment, indeed, it is more cost-effective to buy old grains than bran.

"Then let's replace the old grain of thirty weeds first."

She took out the [-] weeds that she brought this time and planned to exchange eggs, and the old Wang brushed his sparse beard and laughed, beckoning the buddy to fill up the food.

The man came back soon, bringing about half a bowl of Chen Liang,
"Look at which pocket you put it in, and pay attention to see if there are any leaks."

Mu Yu was sure that her pockets were not leaking, she saw the half bowl of millet-like coarse grains exuding a mild musty smell, one glance at the coarse grains, and then at the weeds.

Looking at it this way, it seems to be a loss. If you calculate the satiety, it should be a little loss.

However, after all, people can't just eat grass.

She took the bowl from the man and poured the food into her pocket.

"Girl, go back and tell your parents that it is absolutely worthwhile to exchange food here. You must do it as soon as possible. No one knows how high the price of food will rise in the future. At that time, even if you want to exchange, you will have nothing to do."

Mu Yu was taken aback, and if she could go back and discuss with her parents, she might not be cheating her.

Or, this is still deceiving her, but everything in this world is deceiving people, even if someone understands, there is no other choice.

She nodded and said, "OK."

The old Wangtou also nodded in satisfaction.

Then it was supposed to be the bridge section to see off the guests, but at this time someone just came.

The first person to enter the door was a man in blue cloth, followed by a short middle-aged man in a brown bunt, leading a six or seven-year-old child.

"Shopkeeper, is there any new food? Last year's is also fine."

"Hey, Zhang Xiucai, how can I have new grain in this small shop? There is still some old grain from the year before last. How much do you think you want?"

"How much? I want everything under a hundred catties..."

The old Wang greeted the guests, and the clerk sent Mu Yu outside the shop, so as to avoid the intersection of the guests who came twice, skip the grocery store and trade by themselves.

Mu Yu doesn't care about these things, she can't do her best just to deal with ruined temples and grocery stores now, so there's no need to provoke other people.

Anyway, it was not in vain this time, the old Wangtou gave her a good inspiration, giving her an excuse to buy more food.

Didn't the old king ask her to discuss it with her family?
Then next time she comes, she can say that she discussed with her family and decided to exchange for more food, so they found all the weeds nearby. At that time, it would not be too much to get one or two hundred weeds, right?

But this trick can't be used frequently, which is a bit annoying.

In short, let's talk about the grain first.

She plans to come back to exchange the food every other day.

If one or two hundred weeds are exchanged for a catty or two of old grain and a little bran, pockets alone are not enough. It seems that she needs to exchange some bags from other people first.

This is not a big problem, there are so many people in the ruined temple, there will always be someone.
