Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 47 047 Another life

Old Wang looked at Mu Yu walking away, and walked back to the grocery store contentedly.

As soon as he entered the shop, before he had time to take a look at the weeds and new grains that made his heart flutter, Zhang Xiucai asked him a question.

"Did that girl come to exchange things just now? I seem to have seen her last time."

"It's just a little girl, how can Zhang Xiucai care about her?
If Zhang Xiucai is interested, I can match you up..."

"No need, my wife and I have a deep relationship, so I definitely won't have such thoughts."

Zhang Xiucai sat up straight and spoke righteously, as if he was frightened, and didn't mention it again.

The old Wangtou smiled secretly, he is the only one out of three generations of scholars in this scholar's family, and his family background is not very good, so it is slightly better than the others. He is now wealthy because he married the daughter of a wealthy businessman.

Relying on Yue's family's money and property, coupled with Mrs. Zhang's strong personality, Zhang Xiucai is actually a little afraid of guilt.

Of course he knew that Zhang Xiucai had no interest in Mu Yu, but in new weeds, but he couldn't let Zhang Xiucai take the initiative. It would be best to use Mrs. Zhang to divert the topic at this time.

He achieved his goal, laughing,

"Madam likes to eat weeds. It just so happens that there are some today. Zhang Xiucai, you can take it home for Madam to taste."

"Really? Great, Madam and I have been talking about it for several days.

Take me to see how many there are, I want them all! "

Old Zhangtou showed a smile. Sure enough, Zhang Xiucai and Mrs. Zhang liked weeds very much.

From this point of view, there is still room for the price of weeds to increase in Zhang Xiucai's place. When the price of food increases in the future, this weeds can also take advantage of the trend.

Speaking of which, the price of food has just doubled, and now it seems that the price can be increased...

As soon as he had this idea, the smile of wanting to make more money disappeared before it even surfaced.

Because Zhang Xiucai was too excited, he must be dragged to the warehouse to fetch weeds in person, and he couldn't wait for a moment.

So with half push and half push, the two came to the warehouse.

Old Wangtou was about to fetch some weeds, but Zhang Xiucai quickly grabbed all the weeds in his hand, then threw out a silver ingot and said,

"I want all these."

Old Zhangtou wanted to save a few weeds to make soup, but at the same time he was reluctant to part with the silver ingot.

That is a silver ingot!There are as many as five taels!
It is rare for such a small grocery store to see such a large amount of money. Even in this chaotic world of soaring prices, five taels of silver is not a small amount.

In the end, between money and appetite, the old Wangtou chose the former.

"Okay, but recently the price of food has increased again, and the price of this weed also increased when I harvested it, so..."

"If you raise the price, the price will increase. I can still afford to pay twice."

The old Wangtou was not talking, he sighed and envied in his heart, this is the confidence of being rich.

"Well, these are all..."

"what is this?"

"Don't move, that's..."

"New food!!!"

Zhang Xiucai was surprised at first, and then overjoyed. He hadn't bought new grain for a long time.

During the severe drought in the first year, his family had surplus food, so he did not panic at all. The harvest in the field was not good, but his family had a lot of land, so it was no problem to feed the family with new food.

During the severe drought in the second year, the earlier new grain became old grain, and there was not much left over from last year. This year’s harvest was worse than last year, and there was less new grain. Eat with Chen Liang.

In the third year, that is, this year, there was still a severe drought. By this time, there was basically no harvest in the field. Only by buying, the key was impossible to buy, so the whole family was eating old grain.

However, old grains are still different from old grains. Ordinary people may eat moldy old grains that have been stored for [-], [-], or [-] years. What they eat can be stored for two or three years at most. The quality is still good, and the difference between eating and normal new grains Not too big.

Anyway, he is eating well, but his wife is pregnant and always wants to eat something good. New grains, vegetables, melons and fruits, and recent weeds are all she talks about every day.

This time is getting longer and longer, and the drought does not mean to ease at all. I am afraid that it will be more difficult to find these in the future.

Unexpectedly, on this trip today, I encountered two kinds at once, and the number seems to be quite large, which is really pleasantly surprised.

This small grocery store is really good. You can't buy any good things in those big stores these days, but here you still have them.

He looked at the annoyed old Wangtou beside him, nodded repeatedly in approval,

"Old Man Wang, it's really you who can get these rare things at this time!"

Old Wangtou looked helpless, just now he watched all the changes in Zhang Xiucai's expression, knowing that Zhang Xiucai was bound to win, so he wisely didn't say anything inappropriate.

That's all, these new grains can't be used to hook up with big families, it's not bad to use it to make a fortune from Zhang Xiucai to win Zhang Xiucai.

So I squeezed out a smile, thinking about the money I was about to get, the more I smiled, the smoother it was,

"I specially tried to save these for Zhang Xiucai. I know Mrs. Zhang likes them."

At the end, he sighed again, "It's not easy to get these things at this time. It cost me a lot of money and kindness from the old man."

Zhang Xiucai was completely immersed in joy, waved his hand and said,

"I know I know, money is not an issue."

Old Wang smiled, and knocked Zhang Xiucai a large sum of money.

Zhang Xiucai walked out of the grocery store with weeds and new grains, smiled and turned to bid farewell to Old Wangtou.
"Old man Wang, if you have something good in the future, you must tell me first!"

"sure!"

Sending off Zhang Xiucai, the old Wang tied his head to the door of the grocery store, took out the silver ingot with white flowers from his arms, and looked at it carefully. His expression was more loving than when he looked at his newborn grandson, as if he couldn't get enough of it. I watched for a long time.

This is a troubled year and many people have died, but for him, this is not a bad time.

On the contrary, he can make a lot of money, a lot of money that he used to think crazy but couldn't get.

God has eyes and gave him such a chance when he was half buried in the ground.

However, if this continues, there will be more and more people who can't survive, and there will be no fewer people who steal and rob things. He has to be prepared.

It's time to go to the dental store and buy a few people to see the nursing home.

In this kind of years, people are cheap and food is expensive, and it doesn't cost much to buy people. The key is to get food to support these people, which is the big expense.

But that doesn't matter, they can fetch the water themselves, and just provide some moldy old grain bran. These people can still work, and they won't lose too much.

Thinking so, the old Wang put the silver ingot into a black jar dug out from the ground, and buried it carefully.

Then he took out a sling of money from another place, called his grandson, and the two went to the tooth shop.
