MTL - You Are Not In Exile, You Are Clearly Traveling!-Chapter 61 Buy buy buy!
Chapter 61 Buy, buy, buy!
“Dad, let’s go separate ways. I’ll buy seasonings, and you’ll buy grains!”
“No, it’s too dangerous!”
Mr. Chen refused without hesitation. Are you kidding me? His daughter is so cute and beautiful. How can he feel relieved if she is allowed to go shopping alone?
There are so many bad people out there, what should I do if my daughter is bullied?
There are so many scammers out there, and my daughter is so innocent, what should I do if she is deceived?
The road is uneven on the street and what should I do if my daughter bumps into her?
Seeing that her father was so determined, Chen Xue didn't say much, knowing that she was doing it for her own good, and to be honest, although she inherited the memory of her predecessor, she still didn't know much about the world.
The two of them went to buy grain seeds first. Fortunately, it is autumn and winter now and the harvest has just been completed, so grain seeds are easy to buy.
Moreover, in case the grain varieties are not suitable for the Southern Barbarians, they plan to buy several kinds and try them one by one to see which one is more suitable for growing in the Southern Barbarians.
It's just that Mr. Chen has no farming experience and doesn't know how much grain to buy. Fortunately, Chen Xue was from the countryside in his previous life and knows this better.
Even Mr. Chen was a little confused. If he hadn't watched his daughter grow up, he would have thought that he had been left out.
She is obviously a noble lady, how come she knows so much about farming?
Even discussed fertilizer, retting and other matters with the store owner, and he spoke so eloquently that even the store owner almost wanted to become a disciple.
In the end, Chen Xue bought sixty kilograms, twenty kilograms of each kind, more or less. Anyway, it is still far away from Nanman, and there will be many cities on the way. You can still buy it when the time comes. There are too many kinds of grain here. Less, she plans to buy more, so that she can confirm which grain type is more suitable for Nanman and has a higher yield per mu.
In addition, she also plans to grow a batch of food in the space, so that she does not have to worry about food shortage. In fact, she still has several thousand kilograms of food in the space, but she is a hamster, and the more things she can store, the better.
In addition, they also bought a lot of vegetable seeds, which they lacked most. Although Chen Xue grew some vegetables in space, there were too few varieties.
Most importantly, chili peppers.
Chen Xue was a native of Qianzhou in her previous life. She preferred to eat spicy food. It can be said that she would not enjoy it without spicy food. Without pepper, food would have no soul.
Although the people here have Sichuan peppercorns, onions, **** and garlic, they don’t use chili peppers. This made Chen Xue, who is used to eating spicy food, suddenly feel unappetizing.
At first, she thought there were no chili peppers in this world, but now she realized that there were many kinds of chili peppers in this world just like her previous life.
It’s just that people here basically don’t use peppers for cooking, but regard peppers as a kind of fruit.
Chen Xue was also speechless. She didn't know how strong their taste was before they could treat peppers as fruits.
However, it seems that not all peppers can be used as fruits. Chen Xue only saw big red round bell peppers and long strips that looked like green peppers, but they were not called green peppers.
For Chen Xue, at least three kinds of chili peppers must be used in stir-fries to make the dishes delicious.
So, she took her old father and traveled all over the county, and then she gathered several kinds of chili peppers.
After that, it’s time to look for something to make hot pot base. In previous lives, most of the base was butter, but here, beef is very rare, let alone buying it to make butter.
So, Chen Xue plans to make red oil hot pot base. This kind of base does not require butter, and other oils will do.
However, Chen Xue is still obsessed with beef. In her previous life, she ate the most pork because it was cheap.
Lamb is also good, but it depends on the cooking skills. If it is delicious and not smelly, it is delicious. I don’t like duck at all, but chicken is barely acceptable. It depends on how it is cooked.
My favorite thing to eat is beef, and there was a time in my previous life when beef was cheaper than pork.
It’s a pity that she hasn’t tasted beef before coming here.
Just to make butter and still want to eat beef, Chen Xue decided to try to see if he could buy beef.
“Dad, do you think we can buy some cows?”
One cow is enough for them to eat for half a month, or even a month. Anyway, the space has the function of keeping fresh, so she is not worried about it going bad.
At worst, just exchange it for a refrigerator and a generator from the system.
“Buy a cow?”
Mr. Chen was stunned and immediately understood that his daughter wanted to eat beef. He had bought it several times at home before, and his daughter really liked it.
It’s just that the imperial court prohibited the slaughter and sale of cattle.
Of course, if the cattle died of illness, old age, or accidents, they could be eaten and traded.
Hence, it is impossible to buy live cattle unless they are about to die of old age or are sick.
But the problem is that things are more expensive when they are scarce.
Beef is also loved by the wealthy families. All the beef that appears on the market is bought by the wealthy families, and no one else has the chance to do so.
And the price is too expensive, not something ordinary people can afford.
However, his daughter actually wanted to eat, how could he not be satisfied.
“Follow daddy!”
Mr. Chen stopped the passers-by, asked for directions, and took Chen Xue out of the county town to a small village a few miles outside the county town.
The meat brought to the city was quickly robbed, so you could still get it by going directly to the village. Some people who were greedy for money would even sell their own cattle for money.
It's just that Mr. Chen didn't knock on the door immediately to ask if your cow is for sale. This is okay if you have a good temper, but if you have a bad temper, you might hit someone with a hoe.
Mr. Chen first took Chen Xue around the village as a check-in. He first confirmed who had cows, who had more cows and who had fewer cows...
Fortunately, it’s a village. The villagers’ yards are not high. You can see part of the yard and even hear the cows braying.
After a while, Mr. Chen found a target, a dilapidated courtyard, with half of the courtyard wall collapsed, and the sheep pen inside could be seen.
Several sheep were crowded together in the sheep pen, seemingly sleeping. An old ox was tied next to it, and behind it, a young ox happily lowered its head and ate grass.
The goal of the two people was the little scalper. Anyway, the family had a scalper, so even if they sold the little scalper, it would not be affected. Moreover, their house was in dilapidation and they were obviously very short of money. As long as they were willing to pay, they could buy it.
Moreover, even if they don't eat this cow, it can be used to plow the land in the Southern Barbarians. But they know very well that the Southern Barbarians will not give them cattle for farming.
Moreover, they have no place to buy. If they want to farm, they have to **** the land themselves. The land there has never been cultivated, so it is very difficult to cultivate it solely by manpower.
And over there, there are requirements for sowing. It must be cultivated within a certain number of days, and then sown within a certain number of days. If it is not completed, you will be punished.
If the punishment is light, it will just be a slap in the face, or the grain will be deducted, or the amount to be turned over during the next year's harvest will be increased.
If the situation is serious, you may even be driven out of the village. You may starve to death in the wilderness and be captured by the Nanman people around you.
In short, for farming, having an ox is definitely a great help.
