Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 121 Chapter 121

Mu Yu recalled that during the time when he had just crossed over before he could not use space and almost starved to death, he once went to the porridge shed on the East Street to get porridge. At that time, the people who gave the porridge were a young lady surnamed Wang and her maid.

She had a few words with that maidservant, and they also gave her two steamed buns to help her through the most difficult time.

This Mrs. Wang did give her a sense of déjà vu, but at the time Miss Wang was wearing a veil and she couldn't see it very clearly.

But she has already believed most of it. After all, who would deliberately remember such insignificant things except myself?

"I remember you gave me porridge and steamed buns, but how did you end up in this situation?

Where was the sister maid who had a sharp personality at that time? "

Seeing the sad expression on Wang's face again, Mu Yu also sighed silently in his heart.

Isn't it a wealthy family?Why is it so miserable now?
But after thinking about it, the rich and the powerful also have bad luck, but the poor are even more unlucky.

"Lvqiao got separated from me two days ago, I don't know what's going on now."

After a while of silence, Mu Yu really couldn't stand the constant sadness that almost drowned her from Wang's body, after thinking for a while, he said,
"You have been kind to me, so naturally I will not abandon you at this time, we will try our best to help you find your family.

If you can't find it, you can also go back with us. Although the mountain village is remote, it is more stable. With me here, you and your children will have enough to eat. "

Mrs. Wang breathed a sigh of relief, straightened her body and bowed to her,
"Wang Shujun thanked the girl here, and will definitely remember the kindness of the girl today, and I will never dare to forget it for the rest of my life."

Mu Yu felt her gratitude, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, her belly was already very big, it looked like she was about to give birth, it was a bit difficult to stand up for such a big gift.

"Go to sleep, you can go to Yuanshan Town tomorrow."

……

Along the way, Mu Yu heard Yang Erlang talk about the situation in Yuanshan Town many times, and when she really got there, she found that it was still a little different from what she thought.

The size of Yuanshan Town is about the same as several villages put together, but its shape is more like a simplified version of Huangsha City, except that the houses are more shabby.

And until they drove the ox cart to the main street of the town, they saw no more than five people. If it wasn't for these few people, they almost suspected that there was no one left in the town.

A group of people looked at the empty street, which seemed to be an uninhabited house, and they were at a loss for a while.

Just as Mu Yu was planning to find someone to inquire about, a thin middle-aged man who was as thin as a monkey, with bright eyes and a monkey-like demeanor, walked over with his hands in his pockets.

"Outsider, is this your first time in town? Do you want a guide?
My grandparents have lived in the town for generations, and I know everything about it. Everyone knows Yuanshan Town better than I do.

As long as five catties of grain, you can live smoothly in the town. "

The man looked proud, and stretched out five fingers to gesture in front of several people.

Seeing no response from the crowd, this person was also a little impatient.

Yuanshan Town is too remote, few people come, even if there are, they are all small households, old faces who are familiar with the road, there is little money to fish, and it takes a long time to wait for someone to invite, and even if you ask, you can’t get it how much pay.

Today, there are a lot of people in this group of fresh faces, and they look like they have a lot of things to bring, so they can make a lot of money, but he can't tell who is the talker in this group of people for a while.

There are a few young people in Yishui who are around 30 or so, but they really don't look like the bosses, and their clothes are messy, so there is no reference value.

"Say something, guys? If you think the price is not right, we can discuss it."

Mu Yu looked at this person and said bluntly, "It's too expensive."

This person choked, saying that he could negotiate the price, but this was too blunt.

"Girl, it's not easy for me, so I just ask for a living, so let's do it, or you can tell me the number..."

"Two kilograms."

This person choked again, the price was just right, it was just the psychological price he could accept, but the key to bargaining is not to let people see through his mind, he waved his hands again and again,
"Too little, too little, if you can't do it, add a little more."

Mu Yu ignored him.

To be honest, this counter-offer is already very restrained, she has seen [-] things being bargained down to [-], and this is only [-]% cut, and she already understands that it is not easy for him to survive in the famine.

The core of bargaining is that whoever is less afraid of transaction failure, and whoever is less afraid of not caring can take the initiative.

Obviously, among the two who bargained this time, Mu Yu is not afraid, she can find someone else to lead the way, it doesn't matter whoever does it.

The man saw Mu Yu's appearance of not taking in oil and salt, and then saw that the other people had no intention of joining in at all. He checked left and right and saw that there were already people looking this way one after another, for fear that someone would steal his business and make him lose the two catties of food. Can't make money.

Then he said in a slightly annoyed tone,
"Okay, okay, two catties is two catties, but it has to be grain and can't be mixed with bran."

Mu Yu nodded, "Of course."

The man showed a relieved look, with a smile on his face,
"My surname is Sun. You can call me Old Sun. How do you call me, Miss?"

"My surname is Mu, and that's my cousin, whose surname is Yang Xinger."

Old Sun bowed slightly and cupped his hands,

"Yang Erlang, Miss Mu, what are your orders? But you need to find a place to eat and stay first?"

Yang Erlang said, "Is the Qian's inn still open? I used to live there when I came here."

Lao Sun was startled, so he is a knowledgeable person?So he stopped thinking about taking kickbacks, and recommended them to the two seriously.

"Hey, Yang Erlang, you don't know something. The old Qian's family went south to join relatives the year before last. Nowadays, there are only two places for foreigners to stay in the town. One is the grand Hongfu Inn, and the other is affordable. Old Li's house."

"Then let's go to Old Li's house."

Mu Yu and his party followed Lao Sun to Lao Li's inn, and saw many people this time.

People in the town looked at them defensively or curiously, and some watched the cows pulling the carts and swallowed their saliva.

Lao Sun's inn is really affordable, and the environment is just that way, a little bit better than camping in the wild, and it is worthy of the price.

The food provided here is predictable and not known for its deliciousness. After a hasty lunch with the group, Mu Yu proposed to ask Lao Sun to find a place where he could trade supplies.

From what they have seen so far, it is obvious that there is no market, but there should still be shops similar to trading materials.

"I'm familiar with this, although most of the shops are closed now, some small businesses are still running.

And now grain is a hard currency, you can directly exchange grain for anything you want to buy.

You just say what you want to change, you just bring the food and I take you to change it. "

"There are not many things to replace, but there are many.

After all, we brought hundreds of catties of grain. "

Old Sun was startled when he heard the words, and immediately looked around, then said in a low voice,
"There are so many, I can only take you to the mayor to solve it."
