My parents are both dead, I rely on fishing and farming to support my younger siblings
Chapter 7: Surprising Trading System
Of course, they also knew that what Gu Erniu said made sense.
But it feels so good to be full.
If they could, they would never want to go hungry again.
However, when they thought of their eldest sister who almost starved to death, the two children secretly swore in their hearts that they would not eat so much next time.
"You guys wash the dishes and clean up at home. I'm going out for a walk," Gu Lili did not answer Gu Erniu's words.
She planned to go out for a walk and see if there were any business opportunities that could allow the four siblings to no longer have to go hungry.
As soon as you go out, what catches your eye is the wheat that has just grown to the length of chopsticks, and in the distance to the south are endless mountains.
A stream meandered down from the mountains, splitting the field in two and flowing eastward.
Gu Lili also looked towards the east, and that was...that seemed to be the coastline.
She carefully searched the original owner's memory and found that there was indeed a sea there.
It is about four or five kilometers away from Gu Lili's home, which makes Gu Lili a little excited.
Logically speaking, there should be no shortage of salt here near the sea, but Gu Lili's family has no salt at all.
Could it be that people in this world don’t know how to refine coarse salt and then refine the coarse salt into fine salt?
That’s really a business opportunity!
The water in the sea is inexhaustible, so it’s a business with no capital investment!
However, it is said that in ancient times, the control over salt was quite strict and was generally regulated by the government, and the sale of private salt was prohibited.
She needs to ask an adult about this matter in detail.
Even if we can't sell salt, the resources in the sea are still quite abundant.
Unfortunately, the original owner didn’t seem to have eaten any seafood in his memory.
Fortunately, it is not dark yet, so we can go to the beach and take a look.
Gu Lili had not taken a few steps when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar wild vegetable on the edge of the field.
Gu Lili looked closely and found that it was shepherd's purse.
At the same time, a mechanical voice surprisingly appeared in her mind.
"Beep, I found wild shepherd's purse. I found wild shepherd's purse."
Gu Lili couldn't help but be ecstatic. Could it be that this was the system she brought from the time travel that could teach her to identify things?
She walked forward quickly, and because she had no tools, she could only carefully pull up the shepherd's purse with her hands.
However, I didn't expect that a transparent panel would appear in front of me.
Just as she was wondering, a voice came to her ears.
"Lili, are you out looking for wild vegetables?" Aunt Zhang happened to pass by and saw Gu Lili holding wild vegetables in her hand, so she greeted her.
Lili was a little stunned. "Ah... yes... yes."
Gu Lili was a little scared. She had just discovered this system and she hadn't even figured out how to use it yet, so how come someone had already discovered it?
Aunt Zhang looked normal and smiled, "Why are you still stuttering? There are more over there. Go look over there."
As Aunt Zhang spoke, she pointed towards the south, motioning Gu Lili to look there.
After saying that, he carried his hoe and went to his own field.
Gu Lili's heart finally settled down, and she was pleasantly surprised.
In other words, only you can see this system.
If other people saw this empty panel in front of me, they would think I was a monster.
In order to understand this system, Gu Lili decided to go to the place Aunt Zhang pointed.
Because, there was no one there.
When Gu Lili arrived, she discovered that there were indeed quite a lot of shepherd's purse here.
While picking the shepherd's purse, Gu Lili squatted down and put the shepherd's purse in her hand back in front of her eyes.
Sure enough, the empty panel appeared again.
At the same time, the mechanical voice sounded.
"Beep, wild shepherd's purse, 4 cents per pound."
Gu Lili quickly flipped through the panel. The products on it were marked with the prices in this currency.
Roughly one cent can be converted into one dollar in modern time and space.
Because she saw that in the mall, a steamed bun cost one penny and a bottle of Coke cost three yuan.
She also saw the trading window, which meant that she could find things here and then sell them to the mall.
You can also use money to buy some modern items directly in the mall.
In order to verify her idea, Gu Lili squatted on the ground and quickly looked for shepherd's purse. When she had found almost one pound of it, Gu Lili put the shepherd's purse in front of her.
"Hey, wild shepherd's purse, one and a half pounds in total, six cents in total, are you selling it?"
Gu Lili swallowed and said, "For sale."
The shepherd's purse in her hand disappeared out of thin air, and at the same time, six copper coins appeared in her hand.
Gu Lili's heart started pounding and she quickly held the copper coin tightly in her palm.
She turned her head and looked around, and after making sure there was no one around, she spent three dollars on the system to buy a bottle of Coke.
The moment the Coke appeared in her hands, she almost cried.
This is truly a magical system. With it, there is no need to worry about not being able to survive in this strange world.
Gu Lili finished the Coke in her hand and put the bottle back into the system for recycling.
The panel showed that fifty Coke bottles could be exchanged for two cents.
After doing all this, Gu Lili saw that it was getting late, so she quickly picked some shepherd's purse and went home.
As for the beach, I'll go and have a look after I exchange the land deed with Uncle Dazhu tomorrow.
When I got home, my younger brother and sister had swept the yard and washed the dishes.
Gu Huanhuan took the shepherd's purse from Gu Lili's hand and said, "Wow, sister, you found shepherd's purse. I went to look for it a few days ago but there wasn't much."
As the temperature gradually rises, wild vegetables grow very fast.
Gu Lili smiled and nodded, "Yes, we can go out and dig some for tomorrow so we don't have to just eat."
Gu Sigou also quickly brought a stool for Gu Lili to sit down and rest.
Gu Lili sat down and looked carefully at the thatched hut in front of her.
This house originally belonged to a family with no descendants in the village. After everyone left, it became vacant.
Initially, after their family was separated, Li Xihua brought them to live here.
The head of the village felt sorry for them, as they were the orphans of a hero, so he decided to give the house to his family.
At that time, he asked his son Dazhu to help repair the roof.
Because they had no money, they could only use some straw to cover the roof.
In winter, the north wind howled and tore a hole in the roof, and the cold wind kept blowing in.
The only window in the room was pasted with paper that Aunt Zhang found from home.
Fortunately, it was newly made and was not damaged by the wind, otherwise, the mother and daughter would have been frozen to death.
Several mothers and daughters slept on one bed.
The only pot in the house was given to the Gu family when the second branch of the family split up after it broke.
Li Xihua had originally thought that she could wait until spring and then have wild vegetables to eat.
Unfortunately, the few pounds of food she received from the Li family was not enough to keep her going.
