The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 877 Desert Market
Bai Meixi rested in the space for two days. Ali told her that his mentor agreed with Bai Meixi's idea and had collected the water well conditions of the surrounding villages and towns, and matched the locations of these villages and towns with the terrain descriptions in history books. Combined, we hope to find the water veins of the underground river.

"Sister Bai, if we can really find the underground river, it will not only be an important archaeological discovery, but it will also save people in the entire desert."

Ali is very excited. He has been in this major for several years. Every time his tutor says that he has no talent and can only do basic research work. This is the first time that his tutor praises him and says that he is This is a sudden enlightenment, and there will definitely be a good development in the future.

Ali was very grateful to Bai Meixi for his advice. He brought a half-sized water tank from home and filled it with water after going back and forth several times.

He will meet up with his mentor in two days and go to other towns to do research. He will not be able to carry water to Baimeixi for a while.

"I also hope to turn this desert into an oasis. Then everyone can grow other crops instead of eating potatoes all the time. I brought these things back from my hometown. You can try them too."

Bai Meixi dried a lot of dried vegetables in the space and planned to take them to the prison to increase nutrition for Cheng Haiyi. When she heard that Ali was going on a long trip, she specially prepared two big bags for him.

"Sister Bai, these are vegetables. It's hard to get them here even during the Chinese New Year. I can't ask for such expensive things."

Ali was surprised when he saw so many vegetables. The price of these things in the desert was more than ten times higher than Puhai, and more valuable than mutton.

"It's okay. You've taken such good care of our mother and daughter these days. We should thank you. But if you find a water source, you must tell me."

Bai Meixi could not personally participate in the archaeological project, so she could only leave the search for water sources to Ali. If he could find the underground water veins, she would definitely find a way to connect the Gobi Prison to water, and also let Cheng Haiyi life can be easier.

"Sister Bai, I'll take one pack of these vegetables. You can take the remaining pack to the market to exchange for something. We don't have anything at home."

Ali told Bai Meixi that there is a big market here every 10 days, and families from several nearby villages and towns will come. Whether it is large livestock or eggs laid by his own hens, they can be brought to the town for exchange.

"I know, I will definitely go take a look tomorrow."

Bai Meixi asked about the specific location of the market. It was only five or six kilometers away and could be reached in an hour by riding a camel.

The next day, Bai Meixi opened the door to Xiaojing Lake first, brought two tame wild camels back to the space, and then rode her own camel to the market.

This place is more lively than Bai Meixi imagined. In addition to various livestock, there are also rice, flour, oil, sugar, tobacco, wine and cloth, covering all aspects of life.

There are a few households selling camels, but most of them are young camels that have not yet reached adulthood, or old camels that are no longer able to work.

The sales of these camels are not good, especially the old camels. Even if they are killed for meat, the meat will be so bad that they cannot be chewed.

Bai Meixi felt that this place would become her home ground today, at least the quality of the camels was unmatched. She released her two wild camels from the space, and like the people around her, drew a circle on the ground as a sign of sale. .

These two fat and strong wild camels were particularly obvious compared to the old, weak, sick and disabled people around them, and attracted many people to stop and watch.

"Sister, where did your two wild camels come from? Were they caught in the desert?" Wild camels are very popular at the market, and local people have tried to catch them. However, because they live deep in the desert, they are very difficult to catch. It was rare to see one, but Bai Meixi brought two of them at once, making people around her constantly lament her good fortune.

"My man met him in the desert. I couldn't have caught him by myself."

Bai Meixi didn't know the price of the wild camels, so she could only wait for the other party to bid. The man looked at the two camels, pondered for a while, and then showed embarrassment.

"From the accent, you must be from out of town. The trading of wild camels here is not allowed. If you are caught, you will be fined a lot of money. Let me give you 50 yuan, and I will release these two wild camels in a while. .”

The man kept using sweet words, trying to trick the camel over with the least amount of money, but in Bai Meixi's opinion, this kind of trick could only deceive a three-year-old child.

She ignored the man, took out dried vegetables and dried meat from her basket, and set up a small stall next to the camel.

"Dried vegetables, how come there are dried vegetables in a place like ours? Tell me honestly, where do you get these things from? We will confiscate any items of unknown origin."

When Bai Meixi's plan failed, she tried another one, and actually acted like a manager. Taking advantage of Bai Meixi's daze, he reached out to grab Bai Meixi's things.

Naturally, Bai Meixi couldn't let him succeed. Even the camel next to her showed great resistance and directly hit the man with her head, causing him to fall to the ground.

"Qian Laosan, have you changed your career to robbery now? Don't embarrass yourself here, let people think that all the people in the northwest are like you, we will be too embarrassed to go out."

A man from the northwest took one look at this man and instantly revealed his true identity. This Qian Lao San specializes in defrauding strangers from outside the market. The things he defrauded were resold, even in the market. There is no need to pay, it is completely a business without capital.

Several people had been fooled before, but when they found Qian Laosan, he refused to admit anything and pushed everything away.

"Don't say it so harshly. We are discussing the price now. Let's do this, big girl, I will give you 200 yuan for these things. How about it?"

The man offered a new price. Bai Meixi felt that the price he gave this time was quite sincere, but she didn't want to sell to him and wanted to see if there was anyone with a higher bid.

"Sister, don't listen to him. These things are valuable here. I will pay 350 yuan to buy your camel, and another 30 yuan to buy dried vegetables and dried meat."

A man from the northwest took out a wad of money from his pocket. He came to buy a camel today. Now that he encountered such a strong wild camel, he naturally wanted to buy it.

And those dried vegetables are even more rare in the northwest, and they can improve the food for a large family.

"What are you grabbing? If you want it, we can discuss the price later."

The man who spoke first expressed his dissatisfaction. He was originally a second-rate dealer, and he made the bid because he thought he could make a lot of money from this business. Unexpectedly, before he could finish his words, he was chased away by the northwest man.
