Dressed as the best old lady in the famine years, I suddenly became rich

Chapter 194 Mother-in-law is here
"We will stay at the foot of the mountain for a day tomorrow. If you are willing, you can help us dig these herbs. If you dig the herbs, you can come to me in exchange for food."

When the boy heard this, he quickly asked, "How to change it? How many kilograms of herbs can be exchanged for one kilogram of grain?"

"Is it possible to exchange two kilograms of herbs for one kilogram of rice without husks?" Ke Muqing said, "You can also exchange them for salt and other things. It depends on how many herbs you can dig up."

"Are you serious? Two kilograms of herbs for one kilogram of rice?" The boy was shocked. "Are you not lying? Do you know how much a kilogram of grain in Zhuang County costs?"

"I just entered Zhuang County, so I don't know the price of food in Zhuang County." Ke Muqing asked, "Do you know?"

"The grain of Zhuangjun Grain Shop is only sold to the people of Zhuangjun. Even Zhuangjun who spends money can't buy the grain of Zhuangjun. The grain shop sells to the common people of Zhuangjun. One month ago, one kilogram of grain of Zhuangjun Grain Shop was But it only costs three hundred coins!”

Zhuang Jun is simply comparing himself to Liang Jun.

There are no floods in Zhuang County, and it seems that it is not affected by drought. The locusts will die if they cannot fly to Chen County, so Zhuang County is not affected by the locust plague.

It stands to reason that there should be no shortage of food in Zhuang County, but I didn't expect that food in Zhuang County is so difficult to buy.

Just as Ke Muqing was thinking about it, the boy asked again, "Are you sure that two kilograms of herbs can be exchanged for one kilogram of grain? If you don't lie, we will all go pick herbs tonight, but you will give us whatever we pick. How much should we exchange?”

"Yes, I'm not lying." Ke Muqing agreed, then gave them the empty sack and said, "I will come to you to collect the goods at this time tomorrow. I will bring the food directly. If you need anything, you can contact me. I said."

"We also want salt. We haven't eaten salt for a long time. People who don't eat salt will lose their strength." The leading boy said.

"You know a lot, okay, I'll bring a few kilograms of salt tomorrow." Ke Muqing agreed readily, then left the sacks with a group of children before going down the mountain.

Ke Muqing didn't ask where those children lived, nor did he ask if they had pots and pans to cook the rice they had brought. Those children were very smart. They had lived in the mountains for so long, so they naturally knew how to cook.

As soon as Ke Muqing came back, a group of children gathered around and asked questions. Everyone was full of curiosity about the children in the mountains.

There were so many questions that Ke Muqing couldn't even answer them.

The next day after breakfast, those who had nothing to do went to the mountains to accompany Zhou Langzhong to collect herbs. Zhou Langzhong brought several children with him to teach these children how to identify the most basic herbs and their uses.

This is also one of the teaching methods of study tours, and children like this kind of teaching like outdoor outings the most.

Feng Ying and his party came back earlier than Zhou Langzhong and others, thinking about coming back to make lunch.

Seeing that Ke Muqing was teasing Yang Chengshao, several people shook the wild vegetables in their hands towards Ke Muqing and said with a smile, "Mom, I wanted to eat some green leafy vegetables before. The wild vegetables in Zhuangjun Mountain are quite fresh and tender. Mom, I I’ll cook some vegetable porridge for you, just as Mom said before.”

"Okay, I miss that bite so much." Ke Muqing waved Yang Chengshao's little hand and joked in Yang Chengshao's tone, "Then please help me cook more delicious food for us, Cheng Shao. Only when you are full will you grow faster.”

This made the little guy giggle. With Ke Muqing accompanying her, she no longer looked for a mother. Zheng Qiushuang couldn't be happier.

Because she planned to open a restaurant in the south, Zheng Qiu Shuang stopped being lazy and became particularly diligent along the way.

Doctor Zhou and his children waited until the aroma could be smelled from the stove before returning. He jumped up and down and surrounded Ke Muqing, chattering to each other. Ke Muqing was so busy that he didn't know who to listen to first, but Yang Chengshao grinned. He thought his brother and sister were playing with him.

After dinner, Ke Muqing rode around for a while. He didn't come back until the sun was about to set, and then he carried his things up the mountain.

The group of children had already been waiting for Ke Muqing in the mountains. Before she came, the children were a little anxious, fearing that she would regret it. "Brother! That mother-in-law is here!" As soon as he saw Ke Muqing coming, the child standing on the stone quickly jumped off the stone and shouted behind him.

Ke Muqing quickened her pace when she heard the sound. When she reached the place where she was yesterday, the group of children were already waiting there with two large sacks.

Not only that, there are also quite a few piles on the ground, which can be described as small hills.

"Did you all dig all day and night?" Ke Muqing was shocked. Fortunately, she wanted to give these children more food, so she brought more food.

"Have you dug up all the nearby mountains?" Ke Muqing asked with a smile.

"I know you also want to dig herbs, so we went to dig in the mountains farther away last night." The boy said, "We didn't compete with you."

Ke Muqing was a little surprised. No wonder Langzhong Zhou and the others didn't encounter these children after wandering around the mountains for a whole day. It turned out that these children had gone further into the mountains.

"You said yesterday, you can take whatever we dig." The boy probably knew that he was taking advantage of this, so he felt a little unsure when he spoke, but when he thought about finally encountering a job where he could earn food through hard work, He didn't want to let it go.

Not only are they short of food, autumn is coming soon, and it will snow here after autumn. Once it snows, it will be difficult to find food even in the mountains.

So they are already preparing for winter.

"Yes, I'm not relying on you." Ke Muqing agreed, "But I don't have a scale right now. Do you have a rough idea of ​​how much you picked?"

This made things difficult for everyone.

It is impossible for these children to have a Libra when they are wandering around. People like Ke Muqing who are passing by are not businessmen and cannot bring a Libra with them.

Doctor Zhou does have a medicine scale.

However, it is okay to weigh a few taels of money, but it is absolutely impossible to weigh at least two hundred kilograms of fresh herbs at a glance.

"Otherwise, you can give it after consideration." The boy scratched his head.

This cannot be weighed unless it is put into the system mall. Ke Muqing said, "Then you give me all these herbs, and I will give you all the grain and salt I brought. Is that okay?"

The boy glanced at the grain Ke Muqing placed on the ground, thought for a moment and walked up to lift it.

He thought that the old woman in front of him could carry her up the mountain alone, so her strength would definitely be no less than that of an old man.

He never thought that he could not lift it up even though the old lady seemed to be lifting it easily.

Ke Muqing was amused by the way the child was holding back his energy.

"My old lady is used to farm work and is very strong. How can you, a child, lift it?" Ke Muqing said, "This big bag contains one hundred and fifty kilograms of grain, and tied to the side are twenty kilograms of salt. "

Sorry, Kavin has been stuck a lot lately, so I have to reorganize my outline.
