Chapter 51 Buying Grain

Merlome experimented with countless things along the way, and then discovered a big problem with the system, that is, if things of this era are thrown into the system, they cannot be exchanged for many energy coins. Of course, it is also possible that Merlome lost all the things in the system.

Something worthless.

For example, a box of pastries, which in this era costs one tael of silver, is worth two energy coins in the system.

A set of clothes cost 500 copper coins, but the system determined that it was one energy coin, which was not as valuable as ten pounds of Chinese cabbage. At least ten pounds of Chinese cabbage was worth three energy coins.

[System, are you here?]

Melome wanted to figure out the reason and had to try to communicate with the system.

[System? Where did he die?]

[system?]

…

Melome called for a long time, and found that this girl was indeed not there, so she had to give up the communication and walked back to the hospital in a depressed manner.

After staying in the hospital for two days, the old doctor finally came over to tell him that they could go home and recuperate. The two went to grab some herbs, then they took the cow from the cowshed, helped Mei Qihai in the car, and drove all the way to the hospital.

Walk home.

"Sanya, why did you buy so many things again?"

As soon as he got on the cart, Mei Laoer discovered that there were a lot more things in the cart. Except for the space for people to sit, everything else was piled full of stuff. The quilt he carried when he came here had gone somewhere and had been replaced.

Three or four new beds.

Merome touched her nose and said, "Dad, don't I think everything in the house is rotten, so I couldn't help but buy some, but who would have thought that once I bought them, they wouldn't be confiscated."

"Three years of new life, three years of old age, and three more years of sewing and mending. Who doesn't come here like this? Besides, the weather has been getting hotter and hotter recently, and there is no need for quilts."

Mei Laoer waved his whip and continued: "I have been living in the city for the past two days. I heard from people around me that the weather this year is much hotter than in previous years. At first, I thought it was only our Shuanghe Town that was hot, but now I discovered that this county

It’s also unusually hot.”

weather?

There won't be a severe drought!

Melome's heart skipped a beat, recalling the weather this year, it was true that there was only sun but no rain.

Prolonged heat will lead to drought, which will definitely lead to famine.

Merome thought for a moment and said, "Dad, let's buy some more food and go back."

Mei Laoer stopped the oxcart, turned to look at Mero Mei and said: "I just bought a hundred catties a few days ago, pick some wild vegetables to mix in, save some, we can eat the autumn harvest... don't need to buy it, right?"

"

"No, dad, you listen to me. It hasn't rained today. The price of food may rise next year. I'm afraid I won't be able to buy it by then. So we buy some food and store it secretly. If it rains then, we will

We can also sell the food. If it doesn't rain, then we can survive for a while longer if we have food."

Melo Mei tried her best to persuade Mei Laoer, but she always felt that she had enough food in hand and was not worried.

She can live by herself on the system for decades or hundreds of years without any problem, but for this big family, it is better to make plans in advance. Although this matter has not yet happened, who knows!

Mei Qihai was lying on the bullock cart and heard the conversation between the two. He also said: "Second brother, listen to Sanya. I also feel that this year is hotter than before, and it has not rained a few times since the beginning of spring.

If you still have some money left, buy more food and save it. If you don’t have any money, just pretend I didn’t tell you.”

This time the leg treatment cost several hundred taels, and he didn't know if he had any money left at home!

"Okay, let's go buy some!"

Mei Laoer pulled over and said to Mei Qihai: "Fourth brother, please wait here for a while while Sanya and I go buy some food."

"You go ahead, I'm fine." Mei Qihai waved to the two of them, lying on the bullock cart and looking at the sky in a daze.

I really hate that I am useless at the critical moment!

Mei Luomei and Mei Laoer chose a relatively large grain store, walked in, and bought two thousand kilograms of rice, five hundred kilograms of flour, another hundred kilograms of oil, some salt, and various

Assorted seeds and spices.

"Sanya, I have seeds at home, why did you buy these unknown seeds? You bought them and don't know how to plant them."

When Mei Laoer saw his daughter buying some unknown seeds, he had to warn her.

"Dad, I want to experiment. Maybe it will succeed."

They are just some potato, sweet potato, tomato, corn, and pepper seeds! But they are not yet popular in this era, so many people don’t know them.

"These are seeds from the Western Regions. It's normal for customers not to recognize them. In fact, I don't know what seeds they are, but the people who sold them said they were more expensive. These seeds cost me a lot of money." The shopkeeper of the grain store said these seeds.

The seeds are wrapped neatly, so that no one will regret it.

The goods I had been stockpiling for a long time were finally sold, and I feel a little better.

"West, Western Regions? What kind of place is it? Suxingguo?" When Mei Laoer heard about Western Regions, he reached out and scratched his head.

I don't think I've ever heard of this place.

Shopkeeper: "Actually, I don't know where it is, but I know it's another country."

Melome: "..."

"Dad, the Western Region is not the Suxing Kingdom. It is a region composed of some small countries next to the Suxing Kingdom. There are about thirty countries in total, such as Wusun, Qiuci, Loulan, etc. It is just a general name, not a specific country."

Afraid of arousing suspicion, he continued: "I read in a book that the Western Region is in the northwest of our country. They have to pass through the Turkic territory to reach our country, so it is not easy for them to come."

Shopkeeper: "Yes, yes, your little girl is right. I heard that our Yinzhou is close to the Turks, so it is relatively close here from the Western Regions."

Mei Laoer: "No wonder eldest brother and the others want to study. It turns out they know so much from studying!"

Melome “…”

The few of them chatted for a while, and Merome said: "Shopkeeper, I bought so much food, can you deliver it to your door?"

All these items cost more than two hundred taels of silver.

"Of course, you tell me the address and we will arrange for someone to deliver it tomorrow. What do you think?"

The shopkeeper's attitude is very good, after all, we don't often have big orders.

"Okay, our home is in Shuanghe Town, Shuanghe Village, Mei Qiliang's home. It's easy to find." Mei Luomei reported her home address.

Mei Qiliang, her father's name.

The shopkeeper asked the waiter to write down the address and ordered the goods. Merome took a small portion of the seeds that she had just bought that were light and easy to handle, and then she and Mei Laoer came back.

Sitting back on the bullock cart, Melome opened the seeds and looked at them carefully, thinking about substituting the seeds.

She plans to keep these tomatoes, corns, peppers, etc., and then buy some seeds in the system and mix them together to grow seedlings.

As for potatoes and sweet potatoes, she plans to prepare more seeds and start planting them when the crops in the field mature. Because they do not require as much water as rice, they become particularly important in dry years.

The three of them rode the bullock cart for several hours and finally returned to the village at ten o'clock in the afternoon.

As soon as Mei Laoer got out of the car, he started to mock the people in the house and shouted: "Qi Ying, are you in the house? Come and help your little brother."

The door to the room opened in response, and Mei Qiying, Mei Luotao and Mei Luoxing came out.

"Dad (second brother), are you back?"

"You three come here and help me move the things on the oxcart into the house."

Mei Laoer lifted Mei Luomei out of the cart, and together with Mei Qiying, helped Mei Qihai into the house. When they came out, they took out the things from the cart and put them on the ground.

"I'll return the cart first, and you guys can move it slowly." Mei Laoer was about to drive away with the cart, but Melo Mei hurriedly chased after him.

"Dad, I've been using an ox cart for a few days, so you can't go empty-handed. Take this."

Merome held a letter of snacks, a bag of brown sugar and five pounds of flour in her hand and handed them over.
