Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 44 044 No Appointment and Choice
Mu Yu was worried that telling the location of those weeds would affect her deal, but it turned out that she was overthinking it.

On the second day after taking people to find weeds, they got a lot of things without making an appointment. Many people then made an appointment for the third day's transaction. The number of appointments was not less than before, and even slightly more.

Some beggars were afraid that she would not exchange so many people's things because they didn't have enough weeds, so they offered to lower the price of a piece of grass so that she would take his things.

The problem is that more than one beggar did this, and after several beggars came one by one, there was a hint of introversion.

For her, this was a pleasant surprise.

After more than a month of various exchanges, she now has hundreds of bowls, dozens of cups, more than a dozen water pots, eight clay pots for cooking, four wooden basins, two buckets, and 30 Multiple clothes and more.

According to her preliminary idea, to recruit [-] or [-] people to go to the deep mountains and old forests to escape the troubled times and farm to survive. The current supplies are basically enough.

Of course, clay pots, wooden basins, buckets, and clothes are still not enough, but those people don't just have nothing, she just needs to help make up for it.

It's not enough, and I'm not in a hurry, just take it slowly.

Her original idea was to reduce the price of cups and bowls, which were no longer needed, but she kept thinking about what to do to make others accept it safely. After all, this was considered to be detrimental to the interests of others.

Unexpectedly, she hadn't done anything yet, and the beggars voluntarily lowered the price by mistake.

She took advantage of the trend and acquiesced to this solution, only restoring the original transaction price when receiving scarcer items, and explaining that she was short of them.

It turns out that the effect is very good, such as now.

Mu Yu is receiving the last old man who came to exchange supplies. This old man has not made an appointment. She will encounter one or two people who have not made an appointment every day to exchange. Generally, as long as there are not many weeds involved, they will be exchanged together. finished.

If there are too many or if there is no coincidence, it will be postponed until tomorrow, and there are not many times when you directly refuse.

However, other people didn't know this, so when many beggars came, they were very nervous, for fear of being rejected by her.

Like when they were rejected by countless pawnshops and countless people. .

This old man was surnamed Wang, and it was the first time he came here to exchange things. He had never had any contact with Mu Yu before. The reason why he came here was because what Mu Yu said when he stood on the high platform to announce the location of the weeds that day caught the old man's heart.

The old man Wang was as skinny as an old tree root, his skin was darker than the color of the earth, he held a piece of clothing in his hand, handed it to her tremblingly, and asked her hesitantly,

"Girl, how much food can this be exchanged for?"

Mu Yu told the truth, "The clothes are patched and there are no holes. It's not bad. I can give ten weeds."

Among the many clothes she has collected, this is considered to be the upper middle price, and it is also a normal price, and the price has not been reduced.

Old Man Wang heaved a sigh of relief, and his eyes full of sorrow showed two points of surprise, and said again and again,
"Change, change."

Mu Yu then took out ten of the largest weeds from the twenty or so weeds left in his hand, handed them to Old Man Wang, and said,

"Old man, I'm relatively short of clothes, wooden barrels, wooden basins, etc., and I can get more weeds in exchange. Of course, cups and bowls are also harvested."

Old man Wang didn't seem to hear anything, he took the weeds in a daze, turned around and left mechanically.

Mu Yu raised her eyebrows, wondering why she had such a reaction, but just at this time Yang Erlang came back, so she casually told him about it.

Yang Erlang thought for a moment when he heard the words, turned around and went out again without saying anything.

So the doubt in her eyes grew a little more.

Not long after, Yang Erlang came back and told her the news he had just inquired about.

"This old man's surname is Wang, and he has been in the ruined temple for more than half a year. Earlier, he had a wife and grandson, but they all starved to death.

Since then, Old Man Wang has been alone, not talking to other people, and never causing trouble.

If you really want to say it, it's a bit like you before..."

When Mu Yu was in the front, he was still thinking that it was good to have Yang Erlang around, but in the back he immediately became more vigilant, until he confirmed that Yang Erlang did not intend to test anything, then he gradually relaxed.

It's a bit like her from before, doesn't it mean that old man Wang looks like the original owner?

Listening to Yang Erlang's description, and then referring to the performance of Old Man Wang just now, it seems that there is indeed something similar.

But this doesn't explain anything, the original owner and the old man Wang are actually typical images of the vast number of weak and incompetent toiling people.

Thinking of these, thinking of the original owner, she felt uncomfortable, so she put these things behind her and turned her attention to another matter.

Old man Wang?

It sounds familiar. By the way, the owner of the grocery store on East Street seems to be called Lao Wangtou?

……

Thinking of the old Wangtou, Mu Yu suddenly realized that she has been busy with the ruined temple recently, and it seems that she hasn't gone to the grocery store to change things for a long time.

How long ago was the last time you went to the grocery store?ten days?
No, it should be half a month.

Mu Yu patted his head helplessly, and smiled wryly, last time he seemed to have made an appointment with Old Wangtou before going to the grocery store in ten days, and he was so busy that he even forgot about it.

Unexpectedly, she, who has always been famous for keeping appointments on time, would have a day when she missed the appointment.

But she didn't feel upset for too long, and immediately thought of a way to deal with it.

She still has to go to the grocery store, there are a lot of supplies there, what she needs is a part of it, and what she can get now is a part of this part.

To be honest, this progress is a bit too slow.

In the past, friends and colleagues used to describe her as high patience and high efficiency, otherwise she would not be able to persist for so long in such a bad environment. Now that her patience has been consumed, her efficiency side has been revealed
It is not difficult to solve the missed appointment this time. She has many excuses to deal with it, and then restores everything to the previous state, and continues to live a life of changing eggs every few days and exchanging a few catties of old food.

That might be fine, but there are better options out there.

Perhaps, she can take this opportunity to do something to change the status quo.

For example, the last time she was in the grocery store and heard that scholar ask the grocery store about new grains, the old Wangtou said that there was no new grains in the grocery store, so she could take advantage of it.

New grain is always more expensive than old grain. Now that old grain is too expensive, new grain will only be more expensive.

She expects that the exchange ratio of new grain to old grain should be at least one to two, especially the quality of the new grain grown in her mustard space is very good, and she may be able to exchange for more.

Although this still didn't allow her to quickly acquire a large amount of food, it was still more cost-effective than exchanging weeds.

Moreover, grain is a hard currency in troubled times. In addition to exchanging grain, she can also exchange it for many other urgently needed items.
