The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 508 Cabbage is so expensive
Cheng Haiyi's small aluminum pot was only enough to cook one person's meal at a time. Bai Meixi didn't want to use the alcohol lamp to cook it full. She returned to the space as soon as Cheng Haiyi left. Aunt Liu happened to be making noodles today, too. Bai Meixi’s favorite braised noodles.She quickly filled a large bowl and devoured it hungrily.

"Xiao Hu, please eat slowly. There are still many in the kitchen. Otherwise, I will make you some scrambled eggs with green peppers, just right with the noodles."

Aunt Liu felt that Bai Meixi must be very hungry. She looked at her distressedly and wished she could get a big table of vegetables and put them all into her bowl.

"No, Aunt Liu, I'm just in a hurry. I have to go out soon." Bai Meixi wiped her mouth. She did lose her manners today, but she was worried that someone would break into Cheng Haiyi's house at any time. house, and found that she was no longer inside, and all her actions were done at super speed.

Bai Meixi finished washing up in the space, went to the toilet comfortably, and then returned to Cheng Haiyi's single dormitory. This time, everyone had a tacit understanding and did not disturb her. Even breakfast was reserved in the cafeteria. Bring it to the house.

"Is there a bus to town today? I want to buy something." Bai Meixi wrapped herself in a thick cotton coat and knocked on the door of the logistics department. Several young men in the cafeteria were there. After seeing Bai Meixi Everyone gathered around and called me sister-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, I happen to be going to town, let's go together." Xiao Li just drove the car back. When he saw Bai Meixi, he immediately asked her to get in the car. He ordered some things at the market yesterday and just happened to pick them up today. .

"Sister-in-law, I ordered some mutton yesterday and will improve the food for everyone today. After eating potatoes and cabbage for so many days, everyone has no energy to even train."

Xiao Li was joking with Bai Meixi in the car. He specially ordered a sheep at the market yesterday and planned to make buns stuffed with mutton and green onions for everyone to eat after the training.

Their mutton buns are the chef's specialty, and Bai Meixi is here so you can have a feast.

Traveling in a car is really fast. In order to show off his driving skills, Xiao Li deliberately increased the accelerator. As a result, he was extremely happy and sad. When he was still 1 kilometer away from the town, the car actually broke down!

Xiao Li came down and took a look and found that the snow was too deep, causing the belt to overheat. As long as the temperature dropped, it would be fine. It would take more than half an hour.

"Xiao Li, how about I go to the market first, and you can find me after you repair the car later." Bai Meixi didn't want to waste time. She only had a day and a half, and she had to fully understand the local market and come up with new dishes. , not to mention that when Xiao Li is not here, she can take out the dishes in the space and pretend to buy them herself, which is simply a win in one fell swoop.

"Okay, sister-in-law, please go over first. I will fix it in a moment." Xiao Li is not worried about Bai Meixi's safety. He can already see Agushan Town from here. As long as Bai Meixi says he is a relative in the camp, anyone can A fellow villager will help her.

The snow on the road was deep, and Bai Meixi almost staggered along the way. It took nearly half an hour to reach the farmer's market.

She had already been here once yesterday, and many people knew her, especially the cabbage seller, who kept waving when she saw her.

There are still very few vegetables in the farmer's market, and they are very expensive. When Xiao Li was buying vegetables yesterday, Bai Meixi had been thinking about Haiyi and didn't pay attention to the price. Today she discovered that the cabbage here is actually twice as expensive as outside. It costs 2 cents per pound.

"Why are these vegetables so expensive? It only costs 8 cents a pound in our hometown." Bai Meixi looked at the old lady selling vegetables, fearing that she would bully her as a foreigner and deliberately sell them at a high price. "Here is no better than outside. All the vegetables have to be transported in by train, so the cost is naturally relatively high. We only earn 1 cent per kilogram of vegetables. If there were no camps here to purchase goods for a long time, we would not be able to survive at all."

The old lady selling vegetables kept lamenting. The family members who came to buy vegetables before also said that the vegetables here were expensive. If she hadn't been too old to leave, she would have wanted to go out with these family members. Maybe they would be better off than staying here. good.

"No place is as comfortable as my hometown. Although the food here is expensive, mutton is much cheaper. In our hometown, it would cost at least 6 cents per catty."

Bai Meixi comforted the old lady. She had just walked around the market and found that there were not many chicken, pork and other meat dishes. Only mutton was in large supply. Today, there was a whole mutton on the chopping board. It should be Xiao Li. Some of the ones I ordered before were sold in bulk to nearby villagers.

Bai Meixi bought a small iron pot, 5 pounds of mutton, 2 pounds of beef, 2 pounds of Chinese cabbage, and 4 bottles of Erguotou, for a total of 16 yuan and 4 cents.

She put these vegetables into the basket and covered them with a piece of cotton cloth. She didn't want people to see what she bought. After the main ingredients were prepared, other ingredients and side dishes could be used. No special preparation was needed. Bai Meixi stood at the door of the farmer's market waiting for Xiao Li, but his car seemed to have never been repaired. Bai Meixi stood there for more than ten minutes and did not see his shadow.

"Girl, you need to go back to the camp. There is a young man driving a car who asked me to tell you that his car has not been repaired yet and it will take a while before he can pick you up."

An uncle wearing a sheepskin coat came over to say hello to Bai Meixi. Everyone in the village knew each other, so it was easy to find someone from out of town.He saw Bai Meixi at a glance and read what Xiao Li said word for word.

"Thank you, uncle." Bai Meixi thanked her sincerely. After realizing that it was still early, she took the initiative to chat with people in the market, especially the uncle. His dress did not look like he lived in a town. Instead, they looked like people from nearby pastoral areas.

The beef and mutton sold here are cheaper than outside, probably because it is close to the pastoral areas. If this is the case, beef and mutton should be cheaper in places closer to the pastoral areas than here.

"There is indeed a temporary market organized by herdsmen on Chagan Mountain. The sheep there are sold by the sheep, which can be converted into only 3 cents per catty. But that place is 20 miles away from here, and I also took someone else's sled to get there. Came here."

As expected, the uncle was a herdsman. He often traveled to and from Agushan Town to deliver goods. However, he usually rode a fast horse and only rode other people's sleds when there was heavy snow. If Bai Meixi wanted to go, she could ride on his sled. It takes about an hour to get there.

"Girl, you can actually take the campground's car there. It will arrive in half an hour. When the time comes, you can say that you are a family member and I will give you a discount."

The uncle was very honest. This discovery made Bai Meixi elated. She could do business as long as there was a price difference, but she could never use the car in the camp. As for the 20-mile journey, there would always be a way to solve it.
