Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 132 Chapter 132
When Mu Yu and his party drove towards Yuanshan Town in a bullock cart, they saw two to thirty people watching from the side of the road from a distance.

She wondered in her heart that there would not be so many idlers in the calamity year, and there must be a reason for appearing here in these years.

Could it be that he came to welcome them?
Not like.

When she got closer, she saw a familiar figure in the crowd and asked,

"Old man, what are you doing here?"

"Girl, where are the adults we sent to the south? Are you here to sell food again?"

As soon as Lao Sun said this, the other people who were planning to leave stopped and all looked at them.

"Are you here to sell food?"

Mu Yu replied calmly, "Yes."

Those blunt words made the people present speechless for a while, some people greedily looked at the ox cart, but were defeated one by one by the stares of Master Wu and the others on the ox cart.

"We came here last month. This time is the same as last time. We will trade with the mayor first. After the transaction, we will sell grain at Lao Li Inn. If you want to buy, you can come to Lao Li Inn!"

After speaking, the coachman drove away tacitly.

A group of people subconsciously chased the bullock cart for a certain distance before recovering. Those who went home to raise money went home to raise money, those who spread the news spread the news, and some walked slowly.

"Is this the outsiders who are said to be good food thieves?"

"Yeah, who else is there besides them? Has anyone else come to the town to sell food recently?"

"Really or not? I heard them boast that the grain is so good that there is nothing on earth. If it is really that good, you have to buy a catty to taste it."

"You have to ask Lao Sun, Lao Sun, the last time you led them the way, did the few catties of food taste good?"

Old Sun walked slowly among the crowd with his hands behind his back, smiled and sighed,

"It's not that exaggerated. It's true that the food is good. It's hard to eat such good food in ordinary years. Just boil it in water and it will be delicious in your stomach."

……

Mu Yu and his party first went to the mayor's side, and were warmly received by the mayor's family.

The main items exchanged this time were condiments, cloth, and rapeseed grains.

The original intention is to change the condiments and rapeseed grains to improve the food, but if you only change these, you know that the amount will not be much, and fifty catties of grain will be enough.

So she added cloth into it again, thinking that at least two hundred catties would be enough to express her sincerity to the old mayor.

With the support of the old mayor, it is safer for them to do things in Yuanshan Town.

The old mayor confirmed the goods to be traded with her with a smile.

23 bolts of cotton and linen, ten baskets of condiments, ten pockets of rapeseed, and seven pockets of grain were placed in the center of the yard when there were not many grains.

Mu Yu nodded in satisfaction, and Master Wu and the others began to move things to the ox cart one by one.

The old mayor stood beside her and stroked his beard with a smile, looking at the bullock carts and people moving things outside the door.

"Is there still a lot of food here? What are you going to exchange for?"

Mu Yu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the mayor to ask this, and he said truthfully,

"I made an appointment with some people to sell it to them before. In exchange for money, what else can I exchange?"

Those outside who were starved and forced into a desperate situation were willing to pay a much higher price than the mayor.

The old mayor chuckled, "Yes, what else can I change?"

Then he asked casually,

"The guys I brought with me this time look very strong, are they from the barracks?"

……

After Mu Yu waved goodbye to the mayor's family in an ox cart, his expression was very serious. The mayor really couldn't take it lightly, this is an old fox.

However, for now, it seems that he is still a kind old fox, but he needs to be more careful when dealing with him in the future.

When we arrived at Lao Li Inn, before we got off the car, we saw a group of people surrounding the inn, and when we got off the car, another group of people rushed out of the inn towards the bullock cart.

Mu Yu took a quick look, and half of them looked familiar, they were the people who bought food from her last time.

Needless to say, they all came to buy food.

Mu Yu's mood that had been a little gloomy just now because of the old mayor suddenly brightened up.

How can one not be happy to see a lot of gold and silver money?
Ah no, how can you be unhappy when you see a group of people rushing to give her money?
Master Wu and Song Gao escorted her and the ox cart into the inn, shouting loudly,

"Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, there's a lot of food, you can buy whatever you want!"

Of course, I don't know how effective these words are. Anyway, the great strength of the two martial arts masters is very effective. These hungry and skinny townspeople are no match at all.

Mu Yu sat on the table in the inn, and the two martial arts masters stood behind her to support the scene. They didn't dare to get too close to the others who came up, and kept a certain distance, but they were surrounded by darkness.

Mu Yu frowned, she actually wanted to deal privately, so that she would have room to manipulate the quantity.

Buyers don't want others to know how much grain they bought, so they keep it secret, so she won't reveal the truth when she sells thousands of catties of grain.

But if you sell it in front of a group of people in such an open manner, people will see how much you sell, and if the difference is too large, you may be targeted by interested people.

But now that so many people are crowded here, seeing how impatient they all are, if we talk about the deal later, it may arouse public anger, so let's do it this time, and just pay more attention next time.

Mu Yu glanced at the crowd, randomly picked someone who still remembered the name,
"Treasurer Qian, right? How much grain do you want to buy?"

"Ah, here, fifty catties."

Mu Yu raised his eyebrows, last time this guy made a promise that he could find jade articles worth at least two hundred catties of food, why does he look so empty now.

Shopkeeper Qian blinked at Muyu and said,
"Hey, I've brought this money now, and I'll look for it when I go home later. I should be able to find some jade articles. I hope the girl will have leftover food to sell by then."

Mu Yu understood that he didn't want to show his wealth in front of others, it was understandable, so he nodded in agreement.

Shopkeeper Qian immediately beamed with joy, and offered the gold and silver treasures in the bag with both hands.

After a brief inspection, Song Gao and Master Wu nodded to the Muyu, making sure that the thing was real, and then the coachman weighed a sack of fifty catties of grain on the spot and gave it to Shopkeeper Qian.

Shopkeeper Qian hurriedly carried the food and ran away with his servants. The rest of the people watched eagerly but were reluctant to leave and stay and watch their transactions.

The second is a cloth shop owner that Mu Yu remembers. She wanted to use cloth to pay for the last transaction, but she had a lot of cloth from the mayor, and she was not short at all, so she refused. Finally, this person took out Twelve taels of gold were exchanged for two hundred catties of grain.

This time, the owner of the cloth shop took out a bag of broken silver, and after weighing it, it was about 50 taels, which was exchanged for a hundred catties of grain.

Before leaving, he still didn't forget to sell miserably and cry poor, saying that he only had the money after selling the last batch of goods, and he would be poor in the future.

The third person changed thirty catties...

There were not many people, and a lot of food was exchanged. Some of the onlookers were eager to move, fearing that there would be no food for them in the end.

But this is purely unfounded worry, because there are very few people in this small Yuanshan Town who are able to spend that much money, and those who appear in Li's Inn are even rarer.

Starting from the fifth person, the people behind did not buy more than ten catties, and even the amount of one catty and two catties came out.

In the end, although half of the people were still around, no one wanted to exchange food.

Mu Yu did the math, there was just over a hundred catties of food left, which was just enough for her to take advantage of the loopholes.
