After transmigrating into a book, she became the farmer's wife of the villain

Chapter 51 Buying Food
Melomei experimented countless things along the way, only to discover a big problem with the system, that is, if things of this era are lost in the system, they cannot be exchanged for many energy coins.Of course, it's also possible that the things inside the Merlot are all worthless.

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

A set of clothes, five hundred copper coins, but the system judged that it was an energy coin, which was worth less than ten catties of Chinese cabbage, at least ten catties of Chinese cabbage was worth three energy coins.

[System, are you there? ]
Melomei wanted to find out the reason, so she had to try to communicate with the system.

[system?Where did the dead go? ]
[system? ]
……

Melomei yelled for a long time, and found that this girl was really not there, so she had to give up communicating, and walked back to the hospital in a dull mood.

After staying in the medical center for two days, the old doctor finally came to inform that they could go home to rest slowly, and the two went to grab some herbs. Then they took the cow from the cowshed, helped Mei Qi to the sea car, and went all the way to the hospital. go home.

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

As soon as he got into the car, Mei Laoer found that there were a lot more things in the bullock cart. Except for the space for people to sit, other places were piled up to the brim. Into three or four new beds.

Melomei rubbed her nose, "Father, don't I feel that everything in the house is rotten, so I couldn't resist buying some, but who would have confiscated them as soon as I bought them?"

"New three years, old three years, sewing and mending for three years, who didn't come here like this. Besides, the weather is getting hotter and hotter recently, and there is no need for quilts."

Mei Lao Er waved his whip, and continued: "I have lived in the city for the past two days, and 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 realize that this county It’s also unnaturally hot.”

weather?

There will be no severe drought!

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

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

Melomei thought for a while and said, "Father, let's buy some more food before going back."

Mei's second child stopped the ox cart, turned to look at Mei Luomei and said, "I just bought a hundred catties a few days ago, picked some wild vegetables and mixed them, save some, we can eat until the autumn harvest... so we don't need to buy it, right? "

"No, Dad, listen to me. It hasn't rained today. The price of grain may rise next year. I'm afraid we won't be able to buy it if we want to buy it. So let's buy some grain and store it secretly. If it rains, we will And we can sell the food, if it doesn’t rain, then we can last longer with food.”

Melomei tried her best to persuade Mei's second son, always feeling that she had enough money to spare.

It's not a problem for her to live on the system for decades or hundreds of years by herself, but it's better for this big family to make plans early. Although this matter has not happened yet, who knows!
Mei Qihai lay on the bullock cart, heard the conversation between the two, and said: "Second brother, listen to Sanya, I also feel that this year is hotter than before, and it hasn't rained a few times since the beginning of spring. If you have money left, buy more food and save it, if you don’t have money, just pretend I didn’t say anything.”

This leg treatment cost a few hundred taels, and he didn't know if he had any money at home!

"Okay, let's go buy some!"

Mei's second child pulled over and stopped, and then said to Mei Qihai: "Fourth brother, you wait here for a while, Sanya and I go to buy some food."

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

I really hate myself for being useless at critical moments!
Mei Luomei and Mei Laoer chose a relatively large grain store, walked in, and bought two thousand catties of rice, five hundred catties of flour, another hundred catties of oil, some salt, and various Assorted seeds and spices.

"Sanya, there are seeds at home, what do you buy these unfamiliar seeds for? You don't know how to plant them after you buy them."

Mei's second son saw his daughter buying some unfamiliar seeds, so he had to remind him.

"Father, I want to experiment, maybe it will work."

It's just some potatoes, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, corn, pepper seeds!But this era is not popular yet, so many people don't know it.

"These are seeds from the Western Regions. It's normal that customers don't know them. In fact, I don't know what the seeds are, but the people who sold them said they were more expensive. These seeds cost me a lot of money." The seeds were wrapped up neatly, for fear that someone would regret it.

The goods that have been on the backlog for a long time are finally sold out, and I feel a little better.

"West, Western Region? Where is it? Su Xingguo?" Mei Lao Er stretched out his hand and scratched his head when he heard about Western Region.

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

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

Melome: "..."

"Father, the Western Regions is not the Suxing Kingdom. It is an area composed of some small countries next to the Suxing Kingdom. There are more than 30 countries in all, such as Wusun, Qiuci, Loulan, etc. It is just a general term, not a specific country."

Afraid of arousing suspicion, he continued: "I read that the Western Regions are in the northwest of our country, and they have to pass through the Turkic territory to come to our country, so it is not easy for them to come here."

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

Mei's second son: "No wonder big brother and the others want to study, so they know so much through reading!"

Melome "..."

Several people chatted for a while, Melomei said: "Shopkeeper, I bought so much food, will you deliver it to my door?"

All kinds of things cost more than 200 taels of silver.

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

The attitude of the shopkeeper is very good, after all, big orders are rare.

"Yes, our home is in Shuanghe Town, Shuanghe Village, the home of Mei's second son, Mei Qiliang. It's easy to find." Melomei gave her home address.

Mei Qiliang, her father's name.

The shopkeeper asked Xiao Er to write down the address, and then ordered the goods. Melomei took a small part of the light and easy-to-handle seeds that she had just bought, and then walked back with Mei Laoer.

Sitting back in the bullock cart, Melomei opened the seeds and took a closer look, thinking about stealing the seeds.

She planned to keep these tomatoes, corn peppers and so on, 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 a lot of seeds and start planting when the crops in the field are mature.Because they do not require as much water as rice, this becomes especially important in dry years.

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

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

The door of the room opened, and Mei Qiying, Mei Luotao and Mei Luoxing came out.

"Father (Second Brother), are you back?"

"The three of you come here to help, and by the way, move the things on the bullock cart into the house."

Mei Laoer carried Mei Luomei out of the bullock cart, and helped Mei Qihai into the house with Mei Qiying, and took out the things on the cart and put them on the ground.

"I'll return the car first, and you guys move slowly." Mei Laoer was about to leave with the ox cart, and Melo Mei hurriedly chased after him.

"Father, I have used the bullock cart for a few days, so I can't go empty-handed. Take this."

Melomei handed over a letter of snacks, a bag of brown sugar and five catties of flour in her hand.
