The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 514 Learning Mongolian

Bai Meixi looked at this herdsmen's market and felt that it was a gathering place of wealth, with endless treasures to dig out.

She returned to the camp through the third door and received some bad news. The road to the guardhouse had not yet been cleared, and Cheng Haiyi would not be able to return until tomorrow afternoon.

"Sister-in-law, you should eat first. Director Huang specially asked us to stew a pot of mutton soup for you. It will keep you warm after drinking it."

People in the cafeteria noticed Bai Meixi's disappointment. They brought out a large bowl of mutton bone soup from the kitchen, with ginger cabbage and vermicelli in it. The local herdsmen used mutton bone soup to ward off the cold, especially the Bone marrow is the most nutritious.

"You guys drink together, don't cook for me alone." Bai Meixi was a little embarrassed. She could clearly see how many mutton bones Xiao Li brought back today. At least half of them were in her bowl now.

There are so many young men in the company, but she is the only one, how can she take up so many resources.

"Sister-in-law, we have something to eat, and there is a big pot in the kitchen. What's more, we are men, with strong firepower and strong bodies. We won't get cold even if we don't drink mutton bone soup."

People in the cafeteria told Bai Meixi to drink all the mutton bone soup, otherwise Director Huang would definitely punish them.

Bai Meixi knew that these young men had good intentions, so she drank the entire bowl of mutton bone soup seriously. The mutton bone marrow here was very mellow and fragrant, which warmed Bai Meixi's body a lot.

"Sister-in-law, please serve another bowl. There is still one in the kitchen." Director Huang also walked into the canteen. After seeing Bai Meixi finish the mutton bone soup, he showed a happy smile. He is responsible for the logistics of taking good care of the family members. The first criterion is that they must not be wronged.

"Thank you, Director Huang, but you really don't need to prepare a special meal for me. I would be very embarrassed." Bai Meixi thanked her and returned to the room to calculate her income for the day.

Today she got 6 sheep, which is considered a big business, but the language barrier is really troublesome. Bai Meixi has to use her imagination every time to make the other party understand what she wants to say. In this way It is really inefficient and often gets half the result with half the effort.

She really wanted to find a teacher to learn Mongolian, but it was too inconvenient to get to the town here, and it would take a lot of time to go back and forth.

Bai Meixi was very confused. At this moment, she heard a young man outside speaking Mongolian loudly, and suddenly realized that she had done something stupid. The young man here had been stationed in Agu Mountain for many years and interacted with people here every day. He must have done something stupid. You can speak a few words, and some of them are even locals. It is convenient and fast to learn Mongolian from them.

Bai Meixi went to Director Huang and wanted to know if there was any Mongolian young man in the camp who could teach her some simple Mongolian so that she could meet her daily needs.

"So you want to learn Mongolian. You've asked the right person about this. Most of the young men in our camp can't speak Mongolian. Later, in order to communicate with the fellow villagers here, the camp specially published a small book There are many daily expressions in Mongolian in the booklet, you can take it and read it."

Director Huang felt that Bai Meixi was very easy to learn, so he quickly made plans to stay here permanently. The camp was very supportive of family members accompanying them to the camp, but it was a pity that the conditions here were too difficult and they could not find other ways to make a living. , most people would rather farm at home to help support their families than stay in this place.

If Bai Meixi can become the first family member to stay here, it will be exciting news for all the young men stationed at the frontier. "Great, I'll borrow it now." Bai Meixi felt like she had found a treasure. The people in the cafeteria took her directly to the warehouse at the back. There were many things here, all neatly arranged on the shelves. Bai Meixi The book he wanted to borrow was a must-read for recruits. There were several books in the warehouse. The young man selected the latest one and handed it to Bai Meixi, and then took out a borrowing list for Bai Meixi to sign.

"Sister-in-law, just tell me what books you want to borrow in the future. Just sign and you can take them away."

The young man introduced Bai Meixi. This warehouse is equivalent to a small library in the camp. In addition to this kind of printed internal journals, there are also many newspapers and some books introducing the local customs, all for the young men. They were collected as soon as possible to get involved with the fellow villagers here.

These things are very useful to Bai Meixi. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be victorious in every battle. She took two more books, hoping to understand the basic situation of this place as soon as possible.

Bai Meixi took these books back to the dormitory. The booklet written in Mongolian has Chinese transliteration. As long as it is read according to the Chinese characters, most herders can understand it. This can help Bai Meixi solve the problem. A big problem.

She turned to the pages about how to buy things and read every sentence on them carefully. It turned out that young men here sometimes had to use sheep to pay for things. Herdsmen often did not recognize money, only sheep. In order to satisfy this To meet demand, they often buy sheep at the market and then exchange other things with herdsmen.

Bai Meixi thinks this method is inappropriate. When buying sheep in the camp, they are given the mutton price on the market, which is 5 cents per catty, or 100 yuan for 50 catties. But if you buy sheep directly from the herdsmen, it will not work at all. Such a big price needs to be paid, and the price difference cannot be underestimated.

Baimeixi really wants to take over this business, allowing herders to directly connect with the camp, eliminating the intermediate circulation links, and maximizing the benefits of the camp, which can save a lot of money.

But now she has just arrived here, and she is not yet capable enough to gain the trust of both the camp leaders and the herders. It is not easy to get them to listen to her opinions.

She can only work hard to become stronger and use her own strength to make them believe in herself.

Bai Meixi sat on the kang and practiced repeatedly with the booklet.Mongolian is a completely different language to her, far removed from the Mandarin she originally spoke, and has no rules.

She could only practice over and over again, forcing herself to remember. Those pages were almost torn by Bai Meixi, and finally she was able to speak a few words intermittently, expressing her desire to barter.

She is very optimistic about tomorrow's market transaction. Today she can exchange for 6 sheep even though she doesn't speak Mongolian. There are so many vegetables and fruits in the space. Without language communication barriers, it will definitely make a big business. not a problem.

Bai Meixi turned to the previous link to learn more. After solving the language problem, she might also be able to discover new business opportunities.

Bai Meixi wanted to continue reading, but she became more and more sleepy. Her eyelids kept fighting. Finally, she was exhausted and fell asleep on the kang. It was already two o'clock in the morning. Bai Meixi Still holding the book tightly, all his thoughts entered the book.
