The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 476
Bai Meixi first went to the vegetable market to replenish ingredients. The capital was larger than Puhai City. She rode her second-hand bicycle for half an hour before finding a vegetable market. There seemed to be at least 500 stalls here, including wholesale. Doing it together with retail, there are always dense crowds since the morning.

The first thing to replenish was eggs. Bai Meixi's demand for eggs was increasing. 1 eggs a day could only meet her basic needs. After coming to the capital, she increased her purchase to 1000 eggs, 1500 kilograms of rice, and 500 kilograms of meat. 150 kilograms of vegetables and 200 kilograms of other vegetables.

Such a purchase amount can prevent her from wasting time in the vegetable market repeatedly, and she can visit other places in the capital to seek new business opportunities.

The market in the capital was quite well stocked, and everything Bai Meixi wanted was quickly prepared. The expressions on everyone's faces were very calm, as if big customers like Bai Meixi were just a common thing here.

This is exactly what Bai Meixi wants. She doesn't want to attract too much attention. Taking advantage of the crowds, she can put things into the space while shopping, without having to move to a special location for transportation.

Bai Meixi is very familiar with the alleys in Beijing. The city has not changed much in the past hundred years, especially in the old city. The names of the alleys are almost the same as in modern society, and the location has not changed much, which makes Bai Meixi relaxed. Quite a few.

She had been to many cities in the past few days, and only here she found a familiar feeling. She finally no longer had to look at the map and could ride freely in the city.

Bai Meixi lent her bicycle to Xiaojun, so she could only tie a wooden board to the back seat of her bicycle with several kilograms of maltose on it to buy used books and newspapers.

"It's time for sugar, it's time for sugar!" Bai Meixi shouted while riding a bicycle in the alley. According to her experience in Puhai City, as long as she shouted twice, the children in the alley would come out, but today she got off to a bad start and shouted For about ten minutes, no one came out to see.

The other adults were even less interested. They were all busy with their own affairs, treating Bai Meixi as a ball of air and ignoring her.

A big black thread floated in Bai Meixi's heart, wondering if there were no children in this area at all, and not even the aroma of maltose could attract them.

Bai Meixi's mood was a little depressed. When she saw several children playing at the entrance of the alley, she immediately pushed the cart and walked over. She put maltose in the basket in front of the cart to attract the attention of these children.

"Children, if you want to exchange for candy, you can use old newspapers at home." Bai Meixi tried hard to inspire these children. They are already four or five years old, and they are at the age where they like to eat sweets. As long as they can Give yourself a head start, maybe the kids in the alley will come out soon.

"We don't want to exchange sugar." Several children were not interested in Bai Meixi's maltose attack. They kept playing with the pinballs in their hands without even looking at Bai Meixi.

This situation made Bai Meixi feel very shocked. She had often heard that the living standards of people in the capital were not high and were almost the same as those in other cities. It was just because they lived in the capital that they seemed superior in the eyes of others.

Now it seems that the living standards of these people are not only high, but much higher than those in other cities. The children in the alleys are not interested in candy. Is it possible that the children in the capital can eat candy every day?
"Don't you like eating sweets?" Bai Meixi wanted to find out the reason and continued to ask questions persistently. After all, these children were simple-minded and had no defense against Bai Meixi, so they told her everything.

"People here often exchange toys for waste paper. Our marbles are exchanged for waste paper. They were just replaced yesterday." Those children directly told Bai Meixi that she was late, and they thought toys were better than maltose. , you can play for a long time.

The words of these children made Bai Meixi feel strong competitive pressure. After all, there were a lot of people gathered in the capital. Some unemployed people had already taken a fancy to the business of purchasing waste paper. They found some cheap and high-quality toys. Used to attract children's attention, the effect is very good.

These children can secretly eat the sugar at home to increase the sweetness in their mouths, but nothing can replace a new toy. A shiny marble is enough to keep them happy for most of the day.

What's more, those who buy scraps are always renovating them. Today they bring bubble gum and tomorrow they bring balloons. The things are different every time, so these children are willing to keep the waste paper until they come. Take it out when the time comes.

Baimeixi's maltose is too basic. It can't be compared with those people's toys. Baimeixi can't find business here at all, and has no choice but to go to the next block.

The situation here was even worse than before. As soon as Bai Meixi parked the car, she met her colleague. The man pushed a huge cart into the alley. There were also various toys on the cart. Exchange or sell for money.

This man's business was good, and most of the children preferred toys. Only a few of them took out newspapers in exchange for maltose, which made Bai Meixi's business difficult.

"You just came to the capital, right? No one has eaten that kind of maltose for a long time. It's okay in a small town, but this is the capital. Who would value such a thing!"

Bai Meixi's colleagues gave her a huge blow. Candy is not a novelty here. There are all kinds of fruit candies and milk candies in the shopping mall, as well as halva mixed with sesame. There is even a rare chocolate and cream cake.

During the New Year and festivals, some people regard these candies as gifts. The children here are so accustomed to being nourished by these candies that they don't look down on low-end goods like maltose. Bai Meixi's efforts here are in vain.

Bai Meixi couldn't find the words to refute for a moment, and watched the man return with a full load.

For a whole day, Bai Meixi ran for more than ten blocks and gained very little. For 3 yuan and 2 pounds of maltose, she barely received 500 pounds of used books and newspapers. Moreover, the value of these books and newspapers was not high, and most of them were Unused textbooks or stained newspapers.

Bai Meixi didn't send these things back to the warehouse for selection, but sent them directly to the scrap collection station. The price she paid for them was the same as the price at the scrap collection station. Bai Meixi spent the whole day making wedding clothes for others, and she didn't pay a penny for herself. None were earned.

This situation was far different from the situation in Puhai City, which made Bai Meixi lose interest in purchasing used books and newspapers. Her time was limited and she absolutely could not waste time on such unprofitable things.
