Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 56 056

Mu Yu took Yang Erlang to the East Street from the road she knew well. This road is the most secluded, and it is almost impossible to meet anyone.

In particular, there is a deserted yard in the middle, with tall withered grass, where she always changes clothes and changes her image, and never makes a mistake.

This time, she also brought Yang Erlang here.

She looked at Yang Erlang's bewildered face, and directly took two sets of clothes and a basin of water from the mustard space. This sudden change made Yang Erlang wake up from his confusion in an instant. Even though he tried his best to restrain himself, he could still find the slight surprise in his eyes .

She couldn't help but raised the corners of her mouth and said,

"We're almost at the grocery store. Let's change our clothes and wash our faces."

As she spoke, she skillfully began to take off her dirty coat, and when she picked up clean clothes to change into, Yang Erlang disappeared.

Taking a closer look, I found that there was a noise in the withered grass in the corner, and Yang Erlang could vaguely see Yang Erlang changing clothes with his back turned to her.

Is this necessary?

She looked down at the half-taken trousers, even if one was taken off, there was still a pair of trousers inside.

Because when I was dressing up as a beggar, my coat was too dirty, so I would wear a clean one underneath, even if it was very hot.

"As for it, it's strange..."

She muttered something in a low voice, then quickly changed her pants, and before Yang Erlang came out, she also fixed her hair and face.

There is no way, she has done this process many times, and there is nowhere to slow down.

She waited for Yang Erlang for a while before he came out from the dry grass. She looked him up and down, showing a satisfied expression.

Yang Erlang changed into a set of men's clothes that she picked out that was still in good condition. At this time, although his face and hair were still a little messy, he looked like a very upright boy.

Sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy with a filter on his body.

Mu Yu came back to his senses, wrung out the cloth towel in his hand and handed it to Yang Erlang, "Wipe your face."

She always painted her face very black, it was the darkest one in the ruined temple, and so did Yang Erlang, so she needed to wipe it off.

Yang Erlang took the cloth towel and wiped it for a few times before stopping, staring at the reflection in the basin.

Of course, the reflection of the water basin was not clear, and he looked at it laboriously and engrossed.

Mu Yu could see that he hadn't wiped his face clean, and pointed out to him that he hadn't wiped it well several times, so he wiped it for him with his hands, and then Yang Erlang made a big move to back and dodge.

Both of them were a little confused for a moment.

Mu Yu knew that this might be due to the old-fashioned customs and the fact that Yang Erlang himself was very conservative.

She was annoyed, the last time this embarrassing situation occurred, she had already reminded herself to be more careful when getting along with Yang Erlang, but the habit of many years had become a natural reaction, and it was not so easy to change.

What's more, she really doesn't have that kind of thought. Yang Erlang is like a brother to her, he is completely her own, so why can she think about avoiding things all the time?
In order to resolve the embarrassment, she took the initiative to say,

"When we get to the grocery store later, we are brothers and sisters who came here with our parents to join relatives.

There are two people in the grocery store, that old man is very shrewd, don't talk to him too much, let me negotiate, that guy is not very shrewd..."

Mu Yu took out a sack of millet that had been prepared a long time ago, which weighed about fifty or sixty catties. She tried it with no effort, but in order to make the scene more realistic and better deceive the old king, she I still took Yang Erlang to play this scene.

She and Yang Erlang came to the door of the grocery store with sacks, this time the grocery store was very quiet, there was no such noisy situation as before.

She knocked on the door, but an unknown person came to open the door, which made her a little confused. Fortunately, the voice of Ah Fu, a job she was familiar with, came from the grocery store soon.

"Are you here to buy things? You just bring people in."

That strange face sized up Mu Yu and Yang Erlang, and opened the door slowly.

Mu Yu and Yang Erlang walked into the grocery store, very alert and strange.

The buddy Ah Fu saw her, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile on his face,
"It's you, it's been so long this time, and you've brought quite a lot this time, what do you want to change?"

Mu Yu just smiled at him, then casually looked around, sized up the two strangers in the shop, and by the way looked for the old Wangtou's position, because it was only worth talking to him about the transaction.

The buddy Ah Fu didn't care, and yelled into the backyard,

"Grandpa, I'm out to do business, and that little girl is here again!"

After saying this, there was a messy sound in the backyard, followed by footsteps and the old Wang's head who appeared at the door of the backyard.

Old Wangtou's eyes did not have the shrewd and sharp look before, but instead had a hint of sadness, which could not be concealed by the smile on his face.

Mu Yu thought to himself, what is the old Wang worried about? Could it be related to these two new strangers in the shop?
However, this doesn't look like much, these two people...

The old Wang's head is so sharp, seeing Mu Yu looking at those two people, he quickly said,

"This is a new servant who came to visit the shop two days ago. Alas, it's not stable recently. I don't worry if there are fewer people visiting the shop...

Hey, this is your brother, he is quite a good boy, this sack is heavy enough to carry, these are... new food? "

There was a flash of inspiration in Mu Yu's mind, as if something had suddenly dawned on her, but before she could think about it, she was interrupted by the surprised tone of the old Wangtou.

Forget it, now it is serious to seize the opportunity to exchange as much supplies as possible from Old Wangtou, and let other things go.

She seized the opportunity to bargain with the old Wangtou, completely ignoring the old Wangtou's misery.

"Recently, new grains are not so easy to sell. The big families who used to pay high prices for new grains have moved several households in the past half a month..."

"It can't be that all the big families have moved away. Only a few households have been moved away. There are many people in Huangsha City who can eat new grains. I don't believe that the price of new grains will drop."

The old Wangtou was trying to sell miserably, but he didn't want to have some tragic meaning in his heart when he said it.

It is true that Xinliang has not lowered its price, but it is true that he has lost several major clients. The most important thing is that one of his major clients, Zhang Xiucai, and his family are also considering leaving, and it made him think about whether to go together...

This is a dilemma, staying is not a good choice, but running away from famine is even more traumatic, he can squander all the money he has saved in his life by running away from famine once.

Thinking of this, his heart hurts like being cut back and forth by a rusty knife...

Mu Yu seized the old Wang's absent-minded skill and gained the upper hand in the negotiation, and got what he wanted in exchange as he wished.

More than 50 catties of new grain were exchanged for a total of [-] catties of bran, [-] catties of old grain, [-] catties of coarse salt, an iron pot, a kitchen knife and so on.

Finally, Mu Yu and Yang Erlang left the grocery store with a big bag.
