Dressed as a cute kid with a farm: Pick up a brother to farm
Chapter 75: Buying Food? Distance
"Sister Guihua, my boss is a very honest man. If he says no, then he doesn't want it. Next time you have something good, just think of our Yuelai Restaurant first!"
"This...how is this good?"
Shopkeeper Zheng was a really generous man. He pushed the copper coin back with a smile and said, "Niu An is right. My sister-in-law has something good. Just think of us first."
After several refusals, Sister Guihua took back the copper coin with a smile.
Even if this money is only a dozen cents, it is very precious to them.
If it wasn't for selling wild boar meat, I would have to save eggs for half a month to get back the money...
Farmers' life is so difficult and harsh, yet simple and full of hope.
Sister Guihua led everyone to thank Manager Zheng, and then looked at Meng Huaishao and Ye Yaoyao.
"Xiao Meng, we are going to look for Sister Niu, will you come with us?"
Although it is a question, it is affirmative.
After all, we came out together, so we should go back together.
"Go." Meng Huaishao nodded with a smile.
The group came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
At the entrance to the town, an ox cart was parked on the side of the road. Seven or eight people were standing by it, some sitting and some standing, all eating multi-grain steamed buns. If it wasn’t Aunt Niu’s group, then who else could it be?
"Sister Guihua, you are back?"
Aunt Niu quickly swallowed the steamed bun in her mouth and came forward.
"How's it going? Is everything going well?"
"It went smoothly!" Sister Guihua smiled happily, "Yuelai Restaurant can't eat so much wild boar meat, so let Niu An take us to South Street to sell it."
"Thanks to Niu An leading the way, he knows a lot of servants from wealthy families and took us directly to ask at their doors. Otherwise, we really wouldn't be able to sell all the goods!"
After saying that, he asked about the situation of Aunt Niu's team.
"what about you?"
After hearing this, Aunt Niu nodded happily and briefly recounted her experience.
"We went to several restaurants and sold most of them. Later, there was still some left, so we went to West Street and sold them at a low price. It was quite smooth."
After the two teams exchanged their resources, they were quite satisfied with the mission.
After a few simple words, they all joined the group in eating dry food.
It is impossible to give multi-grain steamed buns to babies. The multi-grain steamed buns they eat are very rough and will make their throats sore if they eat them.
So, Meng Huaishao took out a white steamed bun and handed it to the baby to chew on.
The people who were traveling with him smelled the fragrance and looked over. When they saw Meng Huaishao taking out the white flour buns, they didn't say anything.
Multi-grain steamed buns are their working meals, and everyone has the same. The soft white flour steamed buns are obviously bought by Meng Huaishao himself. Whoever wants to eat them can buy them for themselves!
A few children in their teens were greedy, but they were old enough to be sensible and knew that money was not easy to earn, so they would not make a fuss about eating white flour buns.
For them, multi-grain steamed buns are already very good food.
After all, during the slack season, everyone drinks porridge made from wild vegetables and grains.
Now that they can eat whole-grain steamed buns, everyone looks very satisfied. Why would they still think about the white steamed buns for babies?
Haven’t you seen the babies looking at their multi-grain steamed buns with a look of longing on their faces?
How could they know that the look in the baby's eyes when he looked at them was clearly one of sympathy and admiration!
Before that, she took advantage of Meng Huaishao's inattention and secretly took a bite of the multi-grain steamed bun. It was hard and rough. She had never eaten such disgusting food in her two lives!
She didn't know how they managed to eat it and how they ate it so happily.
Neither party knew what the other was thinking, and both were very satisfied with the steamed buns in their hands.
After eating and drinking, Aunt Niu called a dozen people together for a small meeting, the main point of which was: whether to buy food back to the village.
The previous grain-buying teams were injured, some had nothing, and were severely weakened. I’m afraid they won’t be able to come out for large-scale purchases in the next few days.
"buy it!"
An aunt thought about it and suggested.
"I heard people complaining today that food prices have gone up for unknown reasons, and I don't know if they will continue to go up, but it's better to keep the food in hand for safety."
"I think Xiu'er is right. We've sold out all the wild boar meat. We're going back empty-handed anyway, so we might as well buy some food."
"Aying is right. It's a waste to leave the ox cart empty. We might as well buy some food. The price of food changes every day. The weather is getting hotter and hotter. We don't know when we will be unable to afford it."
"But didn't it rain last night?"
A young boy asked weakly, "If it rains, there won't be drought, and we don't have to store so much food..."
Everyone was silent for a while, and then someone started to explain: "Raining does not mean that drought will not come..."
Maybe, it's just the last carnival before the disaster...
No one said the last sentence.
The sudden rise in temperature today has foreshadowed everything.
The sun shines brightly, but it cannot warm everyone's trembling hearts.
Finally, everyone unanimously decided to take out some silver to buy coarse grains first.
Today we sold more than a thousand kilograms of wild boar meat, with prices varying. In total, we made nearly twenty taels of silver, and I spent almost five taels of silver on medicine.
Everyone unanimously decided to use five taels to buy food and take the rest back.
After making the decision, Aunt Niu arranged for everyone to go buy food in groups of two.
There were more than a dozen of them, working in groups of two. Each group bought several dozen kilograms of coarse grains, which was a relatively large amount, but not an eye-opener.
Each team has a few hundred copper coins in their pockets. Some buy 40 to 50 kilograms, while others buy over 100 kilograms. The goods are different for each team, but the main point is that they are not eye-catching.
Meng Huaishao brought a baby with him, and the baby was so beautiful that it was unforgettable at first sight.
So, Aunt Niu, who did not want to attract attention, asked him to take the baby and another boy to guard the car.
In fact, it means to let him take care of the baby and have a rest.
"Aunt, I went to repair the bone-chopping knife today, and I will pick it up later."
Aunt Niu thought for a moment and said readily, "Is it the blacksmith shop on West Street? I'll get it for you. The sun is strong and you don't have to run around with your baby."
Meng Huaishao thought of the baby sweating profusely in the morning and nodded.
"Thank you so much, Auntie!"
After saying that, Meng Huaishao took out the three white pieces of paper for repairing the bone-cutting knife and handed it to Aunt Niu.
After the group had discussed it, they left in twos and threes.
The rope of the ox cart is tied to a tree, so there is no need for someone to pull it all the time; they just need to stand by.
Meng Huaishao took his baby and the left-behind boy Mudun'er and sat beside the ox cart to enjoy the cool air.
Mudun'er sat there bored, watching Meng Huaishao teasing the baby, feeling envious.
Before I knew it, I moved my butt once, then once, and once again...
Meng Huaishao turned around and saw the little boy who had squeezed against him.
Meng Huaishao: “…”
If I remember correctly, the distance between them was about one meter or more?
