The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 499

The temperature in Si'an City is minus eight degrees Celsius, which makes people shiver even indoors. The residents here have long put on thick cotton jackets, thick cotton trousers, hats, scarves, and gloves to wrap themselves up. Form a round ball to resist the severe cold outside.

Bai Meixi was still dressed in Beijing, wearing a thin cotton-padded jacket and woolen trousers. As soon as she got out of the car, she was frozen into a dog by the temperature difference of more than ten degrees.

"What the hell kind of weather is this? It's actually snowing and it's still so dark. There are no lights at this train station!" People who got off the train in Si'an City all complained. Just now, everyone was huddled together and didn't feel very cold. Now they are scattered. When we arrived, our hands and feet were all numb from the cold, and it was extremely difficult to walk on the snow.

Bai Meixi couldn't see clearly what was going on around her and didn't dare to walk into the space rashly. She could only follow the crowd and walk out.

The snow on the platform was already up to her knees. Bai Meixi was almost crawling on the ground. She reached into the space and took out a quilt to wrap around her body. She walked out of the station as if she was fleeing. The road was also covered with snow. Except for people entering and exiting the train station, there was not a single passerby in the square.

Bai Meixi reluctantly stretched out her hand and looked at the watch on her wrist. It was now 05:30 in the morning. If she were in the capital, there would already be people doing morning exercises on the road, but it was still quiet in this place. It was eerie and scary, and there were only people in the distance. A few street lights flickered on and off.

Bai Meixi never thought she would encounter such a situation. The situation before her was simply scarier than filming a horror movie, leaving her in a dilemma.

"Sister, don't stand here alone. The waiting room can accommodate people, but you will freeze to death if you stand outside." A rough voice came from a distance in the dark night, and Bai Meixi felt that her eyes were dazzled by the flashlight. Suddenly, nothing could be seen.

"Come this way, there is a snowstorm today, go out at dawn." The rough voice continued, and there were running sounds around Bai Meixi. It sounded like she was not the only one standing in the snow.

She could only follow the light back and found that the person who called her was actually a train station staff member.

"There is construction nearby. It's not safe for you to stay outside. Go to the waiting room and wait." The train station in Si'an City has been in disrepair due to lack of funds, and ditches are being built nearby. It is easy to get dark in the dark. Makes people hurt.

In order to prevent passengers from getting into trouble, the railway station specially sent people to patrol and asked passengers traveling alone to leave the station after dawn.

"Thank you." Bai Meixi thanked her hurriedly and followed the staff member back to the waiting room. There were many people in the waiting room at this time, many of whom were like Bai Meixi, who were new to Si'an and had no relatives to pick them up. .

Everyone leaned crookedly together, relying on each other's body temperature to stay warm, and looked exhausted.

Bai Meixi was so cold that her whole body was numb and her feet had lost all feeling. She hid in the bathroom and took the opportunity to return to the space to change clothes.

"The weather in Si'an City is too bad." Bai Meixi couldn't help complaining about the weather here. She soaked her body in hot water. After 10 minutes, her legs slowly regained consciousness, and she was under the quilt again. It took a while to get warm inside.

Si'an City was a huge blow to her. Such cold weather not only meant that she had to dress up and slow down her movements, it also cut off her financial resources.

In such a bad world, no one can continue to do business. Even if you put red-hot charcoal in the iron bucket to keep it warm, it can't stand up to the low temperature outside. In less than 10 minutes, all fast food will become There is no way to eat it when it is cold and frozen.What's more, people can't stand standing for a long time in this kind of weather. Bai Meixi will see Cheng Haiyi soon, and she must not get sick at this time.

After changing clothes, Bai Meixi felt full of disappointment. Aunt Liu was already busy in the kitchen, preparing to make fast food with the ingredients Bai Meixi bought yesterday.

"Aunt Liu, don't be busy now. Let's have another day off today." Bai Meixi saw that Aunt Liu had started cutting meat and cooking vegetables, and quickly stopped her. These ingredients will not go bad if left in the space for three to five days. But if it is made into vegetables, I am afraid it will only last a day or two.

The current situation in Si'an City is not good, and they may not be able to start work in the next few days. If they make cooked food, they will definitely lose a lot of money.

"Otherwise, I can make these pork into bacon, and it will last for a year without any problem." Aunt Liu has a pair of skillful hands and has her own way of storing ingredients. All meat dishes can be dried in the sun, and all vegetables are used for making. Kimchi can help everyone get through this winter.

"No need for now, let's talk about it in two days." Bai Meixi wanted to see the situation. Her current private money is still not enough. If there is a suitable opportunity, she must turn these things into cash as soon as possible.

Bai Meixi was in a bad mood. The waiting room was too small to hold so many iron buckets, so she could only sell tea eggs in the waiting room with a small stove.

The management here is not strict. When the station staff saw Bai Meixi dressed as a village woman, they did not want to embarrass her and let her stay in the waiting room until eight o'clock in the morning to sell out all the tea eggs in the pot. .

Bai Meixi summarized her income in the morning. She sold a total of 400 tea eggs throughout the morning, earning 40 yuan and a net profit of 18 yuan. Compared with the net profit of several hundred yuan a night a few days ago, it was much worse than the previous few days. It was almost negligible. Excluding.

Previously, she prepared a lot of ingredients for selling fast food in Si'an City, which also took up a lot of funds. Now she can only worry about those ingredients.

This made Bai Meixi not in the mood to stay in Si'an any longer. She packed her things and went directly to the ticket office to buy a ticket.

This time she planned to go directly to Agushan Town, Mongolia Province, where she was visiting relatives. If the ingredients could not be made into fast food and sold, they would be used as condolences for the soldiers in the camp. The weather in that place was bad and supplies were very scarce. These things would just help the camp. The warriors need to add some nutrients.

There is no express train to Mongolia, only ordinary green cars. It leaves at 10:30 am and arrives at 8 o'clock the next morning. It takes 22 hours and the whole journey is 830 kilometers. The fare is 14.7 yuan, which is the price of a sleeper berth. It is twice as much as a hard seat and costs more than 30 yuan.

This amount of money is equivalent to a month's salary of an ordinary person. Not many people are willing to part with it. Even Cheng Haiyi bought a ticket when he went home to visit relatives.

Bai Meixi couldn't help but feel a little distressed when she saw the time on the ticket. Cheng Haiyi had to take at least three days of driving to get home. She knew how hard this journey was without him having to tell her.

Si'an City is not big, but it is located at a transportation hub. There are many people coming and going. There is a farmer's market nearby, where you can buy some simple vegetables, meat and eggs. Bai Meixi just used 400 eggs in the morning and needs to replenish some. She stopped by the farmer's market to see if she could find any special harvests.
