Eating melons and raising children in the period literature

"Young man, to be honest, I just came to see if there is any meat for sale."

Yang Qingqing deliberately lowered her voice, and with the help of the voice changer she installed, the voice of a sad old man came out.

The voice changer is not a real thing. It is a children's toy she found in the children's toy section.

She had tried it before in space, and there was no big problem, but she couldn't get too close, she had to keep a safe distance. Otherwise, she would be exposed.

That's why she sprayed a stinky tofu perfume that most people can't accept.

Yang Qingqing deliberately took two steps towards the young man.

As soon as they saw her approaching, they took two steps back.

"You...you...you stay away from me. How long has it been since you last took a shower? You stink so bad."

"You don't know! ..."

Yang Qingqing wanted to continue acting. She felt that her acting personality was about to be overwhelmed.

"Alright! Alright~ Don't tell me anymore. Our boss wants to see you, so come with me. Don't interfere with our business."

Before he could finish his words, he turned and left.

Yang Qingqing had no choice but to follow. After all, she came to see if they could cooperate.

The two of them came to the second house at the end of the alley. There were four people in the house, three of them were young people, and one was older, but he didn't look more than fifty years old.

"Uncle, tell me what you want to say. We will definitely help you if we can. Just tell me! My last name is Wang, you can call me King of Hell."

The oldest man sat in the main room, and the remaining three stood, surrounding him, as if protecting him.

Of course, they had no intention of asking Yang Qingqing to sit down.

The reason they brought Yang Qingqing here was actually very simple, that is, he was too smelly and affected their business. He didn't look like a rich man, so they would not do anything else if they could get him to leave quickly.

He just wants to make some money. He is not a gangster. He will not kill or burn people for no reason.

"Are you the boss of this place? I...I...our...our village is far away from here. I've also asked around, and I heard that the people in this place are more loyal. Is that right?"

Yang Qingqing tried to make her voice sound a little more frightened and act as cautious as possible.

On the one hand, it is to let them let down their guard, and on the other hand, it is also to test and see what kind of character they have.

The reason why she was not that scared was mainly due to the space and her five senses and body after the transformation.

"Old man, just tell me what you want to say. We are not from other places! Our boss has always been a kind person. If you have something to say, just say it and don't be hesitant."

One of the young men impatiently urged Yang Qingqing to speak up, looking as if he was going to hit someone.

"You...I...I'm old...she just can't speak fast...what can I do?"

Yang Qingqing looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, saying, "I am just like this, what can you do to me?"

"Alright, let the old man finish talking. We have other things to do!"

The middle-aged man was obviously much more patient and stopped the young man from saying anything else.

"Just tell me what you have to say. We may not be good people, but we are not bad people either. We are all trying to make a living."

When Yang Qingqing heard him say this, her impression of her suddenly improved a lot.

I felt that he should be able to cooperate, so I didn't deliberately test him.

"We have a few pigs and want to sell them to you. Do you think you can eat them?"

When the King of Hell heard what Yang Qingqing said, he wondered if he was hallucinating.

"What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly. Please say it again."

"I say, we have a few pigs, can you eat them? How come you are hard of hearing at such a young age? I am an old man, but my hearing is still good."

Yang Qingqing wondered if there was something wrong with her disguise. She forgot to pretend to be hard of hearing.

The first thing she felt was not that she had frightened others, but that she had made a mistake. She wondered if her disguise would be exposed.

"We were shocked. You... you mean you. You're not alone, right? How many pigs do you have? Are they all good ones?"

Yang Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief and said

"We are the old ones who secretly raised them. There are five in total. We want to feed them to the children, but we are worried about the excess meat. So we thought we could come and see if there are any.

I just thought of this place. We discussed it and I came to take a look.”

"So that's what's going on! How much meat do you have left? Even though our place is small, we can sell all five pigs in one day."

Yang Qingqing looked at the impatient expressions of the others and thought about how to continue her story. All her stories were different from what she had planned. She had not expected this.

As soon as the words came to her lips, she denied what she had thought before, and the result turned out like this. She now had no time to consider whether there was a bug in her words.

Let's take it one step at a time. If it doesn't work, just withdraw.

"Well, where should we send you in two days? Our pigs have to be slaughtered immediately. After we have agreed, we will send you to a place and then pay you."

"Okay! Big brother, you are such a great man! You should put the meat for us at the back wall of the former landlord Li's house at three in the morning two days later. No one usually goes there. Even though it is in the county town, it is next to Xiaoxi Mountain. People don't like to go there, saying that it is not clean. It depends on whether you dare to go there. When the time comes, we will exchange the money and the goods."

"Okay, sure. I'm old enough, so why wouldn't I dare? But you see... let's decide on a price first. I'll go back and explain. This price is too low, we definitely can't agree to it!"

"Don't worry, we are all in the underworld, we will never cheat you. How about we charge 8 yuan per pound of pork? This is our real price. You can see that we sell it for one yuan per pound here. You have to let us make a profit, right?"

Yang Qingqing thought about it and felt that the price was very good. The supply and marketing cooperative was selling it for 50 cents per pound, and she was selling it for 80 cents. What else did she need a bicycle for? But she still pretended to be embarrassed.

"Okay, we did this because we wanted to subsidize the kids. We'll pay the money and get the goods in two days."

"Brother, you are such a straightforward person! But how did you make yourself stink so bad? I am not saying anything bad to you, but you are lucky to be here. If you were somewhere else, you would definitely be chased away. You might be injured."

"I didn't want to do that either. I just accidentally fell on the way here and got covered in some shit. That's why...hahahaha"

Yang Qingqing felt that she was about to suffer from embarrassment and secretly hated herself for being stupid.

Fortunately, she did not travel back to the 40s to engage in espionage. Instead, she came to the period after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Although the country was not yet prosperous, it was peaceful enough.

At this moment, she is really grateful to the system

"Then I'll be leaving first. It'll take a long time to get back. See you later."

Yang Qingqing felt that she had said enough and she had to leave quickly, otherwise she would be late for the afternoon and the risk of being exposed would be even greater.

"Okay, brother, see you in two days."

The King of Hell personally escorted Yang Qingqing out the door
