Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 137 Chapter 137

When the sound in the inn gradually died down, the people who huddled outside the inn and eavesdropped ran to the end of the street to report.

There were six or seven people waiting at the end of the street, two of them were girls who had already grown in stature, and the rest were men, just those who had just appeared in the inn because the amount of money had not been negotiated and refused.

"Did you hear that? Not only are the little girl's films worth thirty catties of grain, but even prostitutes are thirty catties of grain."

"That's unreasonable. Why can't an innocent girl be better than a little girl and a prostitute? Why is it the same money?
Bah, it really is because she has long hair but short knowledge, how can a big girl from a good family follow her if she does this?
But those widows and prostitutes and those who have little girl movies at home should be happy, and she will be able to receive these, thanks to her! "

"Okay, don't talk about it, if people have food, they can do whatever they want, let's think about what we should do."

As soon as this remark came out, those who were still aggrieved were silent.

They are all struggling people at the bottom. They don't pay attention to anything in order to survive, and they will do whatever they can to make money and food.

This time, I heard that someone was looking for a wife to give thirty catties of food, or to give a film to a small girl, and immediately my mind came alive.

It's so fun for a little girl to give thirty catties, so if she finds a young girl with a good appearance, wouldn't she get fifty catties or eighty catties of food?
In fact, if you really want to marry a daughter-in-law, there is nothing wrong with thinking this way, but the problem is that Mu Yu doesn't think about it that way.

She regards the [-] catties of grain as a settling fee for people to give up their life here and go to the mountain village to take root, so naturally everyone is the same.

As for what these people said about her dying, that's simply impossible.

Being young has its advantages, and cultivating it has infinite possibilities and will make you more loyal.

Being old has its benefits, and with a little teaching, one can be productive.

No matter how big or small, the required consumption is just some food, but it can bring far more value in the future, and there is no possibility of loss at all.

But these people couldn't think of this, they only racked their brains to get food from Muyu and make a profit.

"In that case, let's find some little girls and prostitutes for her. These two good girls will find someone to marry in the town. The gift money should be higher than thirty catties of grain."

"That's it. Let's find someone separately and come to my house tonight to talk about the situation."

The calculations of this group of people are temporarily blocked, because Mu Yu plans to leave Yuanshan Town today.

Mu Yu had an in-depth chat with Sun San, and after this morning's meeting, she found that Sun San was still very reliable in his work, so she planned to hand over some things to Sun San.

Sun San is really Sun San, he is Sun Er's cousin, named Sangui, he was originally in the furniture, carriage and other wooden business, suffered a lot during the disaster year, and kept selling his property at a low price.

Mu Yu expressed to him the idea of ​​wanting to shop the property of the house, and expressed his willingness to pay [-]% higher than the market price to buy it, and give [-]% commission, just to make the purchase satisfactory.

Sun San immediately patted his chest and said, this matter is easy to talk about, as much as you want.

"Two shops are needed for the time being, one big and one small, and the house needs to be bigger, so I won't stay in the inn in the future, and I'm going to buy [-] acres of land first.

Any idea how much these would cost? "

"In this situation, it is more desirable to buy things with grain.

What the girl said, if calculated according to good grain, Sun can guarantee that [-] catties of grain can be won.

Calculated in terms of silver, these would be 800 taels, which is more than the amount before the famine, but the 800 taels at this time could not buy much at all. "

Mu Yu doesn't have a very personal experience with the amount of money, but she is familiar with four hundred catties of grain, which is nothing at all.

I came to Yuanshan Town twice, and each time I brought about [-] catties of grain. I thought it was worth it when I got a bunch of things back. I didn't expect to get so many industries in exchange.

This is only four hundred catties of grain, the size of eight sacks.

Last autumn, the village harvested a total of tens of thousands of catties of grain. Excluding what was distributed to the villagers and what was consumed over the past six months, there are still [-] to [-] catties left in the warehouse.

If all of this is taken out and exchanged for industry, tsk tsk...

However, according to the grain price in normal years, seven to eight hundred taels would correspond to tens of thousands of catties of grain, and it would definitely not be the current amount of several hundred catties.

disaster year...

After Mu Yu sighed, he had the idea of ​​doubling the number of industries he wanted to change.

However, she restrained her eagerness to move, and she could not go back on what she said, and she had to make a decision when doing things. This kind of thing can be discussed next time, not in a hurry.

The two were drinking tea leisurely, and Sun San's calculations were loud in his mind.

He introduced ten girls to marry, and the matchmaker would be able to collect thirty catties of grain. There was also the matter of buying and selling land, and he could get [-]% of the original price, let alone sixty to seventy catties of grain.

In other words, in the past few days, he has earned nearly a hundred catties of grain!

There is no such a good job in the town, this wooden girl is really generous!
He also took the initiative to increase the price, which is much better than those unscrupulous businessmen who keep the price down everywhere. This is probably the simplicity of the mountain village people.

He decided to do a good job in this matter. Seeing her buying a house and shop in the town, he thought that she would do business in the town in the future, and it was always right to establish a good relationship.

Thinking this way, Sun San was about to say goodbye when he saw two more women walking into the inn. After a closer look, they were two widows from the town, one of whom had two children.

"What are you two doing here?"

"Third Uncle, let's come here to find a way to survive. I heard that foreigners are begging for wives here, so let's take a look.

We can work and have children, so it doesn't matter if we don't give too much gift money, as long as we have something to eat, there is a way to survive. "

At this time, Sun San already knew Mu Yu's selection criteria to some extent, as long as he was of good character and able to work, he would be accepted, and he didn't pay much attention to others.

Since prostitutes are wanted, there is no reason for widows not to want them.

Mu Yu naturally heard what the two said, and secretly looked at them, the younger one in the front had a sharp personality, and the older one with two children in the back was more honest.

Sun San thought for a while, weighed the attitudes of both parties, and said,
"Miss Mu, these two widows are also poor people. They are of good character and can work. Look..."

"Let them come together."

……

After lunch, Mu Yu and his party drove the bullock cart and slowly left Yuanshan Town.

When they came, they brought a cart full of food, and when they left, they carried a cart full of people, most of whom were women.

Not to mention the man in the car, even Mu Yu felt a little uncomfortable.

But Master Wu and Wen Wang are very used to it, especially Wen Wang, who is completely indifferent, as if they don't exist.

Master Wu praised Wen Wang for peace of mind, and great things will happen in the future.

Wen Wang looked at Mu Yu, and Mu Yu looked away to look at the side of the road.

In the evening, the ox carts stopped and camped.
