Chapter 267 The vicious female partner escapes to farm (17) (Third update, please vote for me!)
While Erlang was away, Xu Yin directly dragged a bag of rice out from the system warehouse.
Shi Fengnian helped her weigh, Shi Feng helped collect grain and maintained order. After Chen Mancang settled the house, he also brought his son over to help.
Many people came to exchange for rice, but whether they saw it with their own eyes or heard it from hearsay, they all thought that Xu Yin was a warrior who could carry a thousand pounds and could kill twenty or thirty strong men with one punch or one kick. Even though she knew that her family had a lot of food left over, she didn't dare to mess around.
Moreover, there are Shi Feng, a fierce man who stares at them like a door god. If it wasn't for the temptation of fine food, he even wanted to run around and ran away. It was too scary!
After a bag of rice was exchanged, people still came to the door.
Xu Yin said: "It's gone for the time being. The remaining rice should be kept for my brothers and sisters to make porridge. But I plan to go to the market sometime. If there are fine grains for sale, I will help you bring some back."
Everyone hurriedly thanked her.
When Shi Fengnian learned that she was going to the market, he said, "I heard from people in the village that there will be a big market in the next town tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
What are you waiting for!
Xu Yin immediately started preparations.
When it gets dark, Erlang and Sanmei drive the chickens back to the chicken coop.
After Erlang entered the house, he first ran to the corner where the rice bags were placed. When he saw that the rice bags were still there, but slightly deflated, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Yin couldn't stop laughing: "What? Are you worried that I will sell your rations?"
“Sister-in-law, no matter how delicious sweet potatoes are, they are not as fragrant as rice! Besides, it’s no problem to plant an acre of the seeds we have left at home. Otherwise, we won’t be able to cultivate so much land, right?”
"Yes! But you are right, sweet potatoes are not as fragrant as rice. How about we plant some corn soon? Corn is also suitable for sandy soil. Then we can grind it into powder and make corn steamed buns for you to eat."
“What is corn?”
“That’s Baogu.”
“What is Baogu?”
…”
Is there no corn in this era?
The next day, Xu Yin pushed the cart and took the two boys to the market in the next town.
In addition to Shi Feng and Shi Fengnian, there are also many people going to Chen Mancang.
Everyone said that they need to add some accessories.
When I escaped from the wilderness, I didn’t take many things with me. Some of them I didn’t expect at the time, and some of them I couldn’t take.
Unlike Xu Yin, she brought her kitchen knives and chopping boards, as well as the pots and pans.
At this time, she becomes the envy of everyone.
I envy her thoughtfulness, but more importantly, I envy her strength. Only when you are strong can you carry whatever you want.
Although the town next door is also a small mountain town, it has a really large population.
At the market, people were coming and going, and shouts were heard one after another.
The prices here are really cheap!
But Xu Yin was not in a hurry to buy the goods. Instead, she found a **** shop and sold a finely crafted sterling silver hairpin to get a sum of money back.
Erlang’s eyes were red.
“Sister-in-law…”
Sister-in-law even started selling the jewelry in her trousseau, woo woo woo...
Xu Yin: “…”
A seven-year-old child is so lenient!
Coming out of the **** shop, Xu Yin bought a jujube paste cake for each of the two boys, "Tiantianzu."
Erlang couldn’t eat it and was still sad about the hairpin his sister-in-law had sold.
Xu Yin patted him on the shoulder and whispered: "Sister-in-law doesn't like jewelry made of gold and silver. Sister-in-law likes jade jewelry."
“What is jade jewelry?”
Erlang had only seen wooden hairpins before, and his mother had one on her head.
I just saw the silver hairpin, but unfortunately I was fooled by my sister-in-law after just one glance.
“Jade ornaments are much more beautiful than silver hairpins!”
Erlang secretly remembered that when he grew up, he would buy a jade hairpin for his sister-in-law to make up for the silver hairpin she had pawned.
With money, she stopped delaying and scanned the goods from stall to stall, buying whatever she found useful.
There were only two cloth stalls, and they sold linen cloth woven by the peasant woman herself. I tried my best to choose the softest one and bought one.
I looked around and couldn't find any seed stalls, but I found a medicinal herb shop.
She thought for a while, then went in and asked the shopkeeper if he had any medicinal seeds.
"What do you want seeds for?" the shopkeeper took off his reading glasses and looked at her and asked.
Xu Yin didn’t hide it: “I plan to grow some herbs to sell.”
Since it is indeed going to be sold in the future, it is better to make a deal first.
The shopkeeper frowned: "Herbal medicine is not easy to grow. No one has tried it before, but the return time is too long. It's okay if the weather is good. If we encounter a drought like Tongxing Mansion, wouldn't we risk our lives? We might as well go up the mountain and dig wild ones. It’s a good deal, at least you don’t have to invest any capital.”
At the end, he added: "I am telling you this because I have a close relationship with you, a young descendant. Growing herbs is really not as good as growing food. The latter can at least have enough to eat, while the former... alas!"
Xu Yin smiled and said: "Thank you, shopkeeper, but I really want to try it. If you have any seeds, sell some to me."
“Are you really not afraid of losing money?”
"Any business has profits and losses. Anyway, I'm still young. If I lose money, I have to start over again!" Xu Yin said with a smile, "People always have to be a little aggressive."
Fart!
If she had not been systematically brought into this deceptive world of novels and she had studied her graduate studies well in this world, she would still have enjoyed her life as a salted fish. Why would she have to struggle to survive at the bottom of feudal society as she is now?
The shopkeeper was moved by her remarks and took out the medicinal seeds available in the shop for her to choose.
However, the types are really limited.
Xu Yin wanted to plant ginseng, astragalus, fritillary and Codonopsis pilosula, but only astragalus had seeds.
According to the shopkeeper: "Once the ginseng is discovered, it's too late to dig it up and sell it. Who will keep it until it grows seeds? Ginseng that is ten years old is worth a lot of money. If you keep it, who knows whether it will belong to you in the future."
This is the truth.
After all, it is a wild medicinal material, and whoever finds it belongs to him.
If you don’t dig it, others will dig it.
In order to save seeds, but in the end they are poached by others, wouldn’t it mean that we are left lonely?
Finally, Xu Yin rounded the existing seeds on the medicinal materials.
The money for the silver hairpin was not used, so I gave another ingot of silver ingot to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper originally wanted to help her sort and wrap the seeds and write the names of the medicinal materials, but Xu Yin refused.
Just kidding, how could she add ginseng seeds in it if it was written clearly?
Having bought medicinal seeds, Xu Yin achieved most of the purpose of her trip.
When you are in a good mood, buy whatever you see.
Egg or duck egg? purchase!
Vegetables and fruits grown by farmers at home? purchase!
Agricultural tools from the blacksmith shop? purchase!
The enlightenment reading of Shusi? purchase!
The four treasures of the study? purchase!
Hairbands and beads that girls like? purchase!
Hey, there is also a ready-to-wear shop here. There are clothes for adults and children. Buy them!
Hey, this is a pastry shop opened by the descendants of the royal chef. They sell pretty good pastries and preserves. Buy them!
“Sister-in-law…Sister-in-law…”
Erlang lowered his voice and kept tugging at her, his voice shrilling with urgency:
“Don’t buy it, don’t buy it! Enough is enough! It costs too much! It can’t fit in the car!”
Xu Yin: “…”
Are you the elder sister-in-law or am I the elder sister-in-law?
"Okay! Then let's find a place to eat. After eating, go to the entrance of the town to meet Fengnian and the others. It's almost time to go back."
“Huh? You still have to eat at the market? It’s very expensive!”
…”
