Chapter 152 Spread out the groceries and forget it!

Yu Haojie murmured, but Ye Jiamei gave him a blank look!
"You're just crazy. You thought you could find coal, but you didn't find saltpeter?"

"Actually, I think it's very possible to find it based on the terrain here, but unfortunately the snow hasn't melted yet. After the snow melts, we can try to look for it."

Ye Jiamei finished speaking, but Yu Luo ignored her suspicion and was moved.

If she can really find saltpeter, not to mention scaring those people in the rivers and lakes from coming, she can also take this wild land as her own in the future.

"My daughter should understand me. Wife, please stop saying some depressing words. The weather has gradually warmed up recently. If nothing unexpected happens, all the snow will melt in about twenty days at most. Then it will be time for us to show off our talents. ”

Looking forward to it day and night, in the middle of March, the white snow in the barren land gradually melted, and the landform of the legendary barren land gradually emerged.

Because of the previous harassment by the Wanli Gang, everyone was still frightened during this period and hid in the cave, almost daring not to come out.

Because of this, the alien armored beast was often rejected in the cave, so it had to dig out the hole to play. In a month, it dug out that small room for Yu Luo, but made Yu Luo's family very happy.

The people who have been in the barren land for more than a month, the food on hand is becoming more and more exhausted. Although everyone saves food and money, and tries to cook rice porridge as much as possible, the food that is distributed is tens of thousands per family. Individuals eat, sooner or later there is time to finish eating.

The people in the stone houses in the distance finally came out, carrying "hoes" polished from stones, and began to till the soil and sow seeds in the open space near their homes.

But the people who came out were all men, and there was no woman. Yu Luo also understood why they were here and not harassed by those people. After all, these people were so poor that they couldn't even buy a hoe, and there were no women. It is useless for those people to harass them.

"Second Uncle, Third Uncle, I plan to go to the city to close the city. Does your family need to buy anything?"

The weather was fine, and everyone took off their heavy clothes. They only needed to wear thin cotton-padded clothes during the day, and an extra thick cotton-padded jacket in the morning and evening, and they could get through it.

Although the closed city is more than 200 miles away, it is still a mixed place, but if you want to live here, you must go to buy supplies.

Yu Zhengqing decided to take Zhang Yuan with him, and the two of them went to Fengcheng together.

When Yu Qiang heard it, his heart was naturally moved, "Wait a minute, I'll go back and ask your third aunt."

After the words fell, he hurried back to the old woman to check their silver taels, but the family emptied several pockets and only collected more than 50 taels of silver.

If the money was in the countryside before, they could live for ten years without any problems, but now in this place, they have to buy everything by themselves, maybe the prices here are also very expensive, and the family suddenly loses confidence.

"Why don't you take out 30 taels, replace them all with miscellaneous grains, and ask him to help us buy some grain seeds and vegetable seeds. Otherwise, we don't know how long we can last for food with only this little money. Here Unlike other places, where you can find jobs and earn some money, here is a place where you use dead money."

As the elder of the family, Shu Suhua has been used to careful planning for most of her life, so she quickly allocated the money.

"Then listen to mother. Now that the snow has melted, my father and I will go out hunting. Maybe those animal skins can be exchanged for some money in the future. It can be regarded as a kind of income. I just don't know what is sold in Fengcheng. If I can Just go and have a look."

Shu Suhua's expression changed immediately when he heard that his eldest son, Yu Yong, wanted to seal off the city!
"Don't even think about it. Look, your second brother managed to save his life, but it will take at least half a year to regain his strength. Your father and I are just the two sons of you. If you are good or bad, then we Don't even think about it!"

Seeing his mother's face immediately changed, Yu Yong hurriedly gave a naive smile, and said comfortingly: "Mother, don't be nervous, I'm just talking, it's so dangerous over there, who dares to go if you don't have time? Well, brother Zhengqing is still here." Wait, I will talk about it after I send the money out with Dad."

Seeing that her son still knew how to behave, Shu Suhua was relieved.

When Yu Qiang and Yu Yong came out, Yu Zhengqing and Zhang Yuan were surrounded by a group of people.

Behind them is the simple carriage made by Yu Zhengqing and a group of men who cut down two trees these days.

This carriage has nothing to do with luxury and comfort, but at least it has a carriage and wheels, which makes it much more convenient.

"Zhengqing, your second uncle and we have so many people, and this is only ten taels of silver. Look, see if you can bring us a few hundred catties of grain and some vegetable seeds. We don't want anything else."

Before Yu Zhengqing could speak, Yu Xiaoxuan on the side suddenly lost his temper, and looked at Yu Liang with a face full of sarcasm. Yu Liang, who had made excessive demands on his father, turned cold.

"Second Grandpa, what do you mean? You want to buy several hundred catties of grain for ten taels of silver? You also want to buy some seeds? Do you think this is 200 taels of silver?"

Looking at Yu Xiaoxuan who was rudely attacking him, Yu Liang hurriedly gave a flattering smile on his face!
"Hey, Second Grandpa is not like you. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. In our old countryside, the ten taels of silver could really buy several hundred catties of rice. If you can't buy rice, you can help me buy miscellaneous grains." OK."

When Yu Xiaoxuan heard this, he was immediately happy!

"Second Grandpa also knew that it was the countryside in the past. This was a barren land where supplies were scarce, and he didn't even know if there were any cheap miscellaneous grains here. Besides, even if there were miscellaneous grains, it was impossible to sell them like at home. Get cheap."

"Xiao Xuan is right. I accepted the ten taels of silver. I won't know how much food I can buy until I go to the place where the city is closed."

Yu Zhengqing, who didn't want to waste time, spoke directly.

In fact, Yu Zhengqing, who had never experienced the logical thinking of people at the bottom, did not see Yu Liang's little calculation at all.

Yu Liang and Yu Qiang's family got the same amount of silver as the two families at the beginning, but in this wild land, they never spent any silver at all. There are at least two.

But under the instigation of his eldest daughter-in-law Liu Lan, Yu Liang just wanted to take advantage of Yu Zhengqing's body, so the scene just happened.

Here, Yu Luo and the others looked at the group of people outside, surrounding Yu Zhengqing and Zhang Yuan, hesitating whether to open the grocery store now or not.

"If we open it now, will it feel like we are taking advantage of the situation? How do I feel that if we tell them now that we can buy things here, will they think that it is better for us to directly distribute the things to them?"
