The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 526: Transfer to the Ranch
Bai Meixi counted the goods in the space, and planned to take some tea and salt to the herdsmen's market to test the price. The cost of these things alone would be thousands of yuan. If they were all sold, they would at least double. By then, she would have The private money in the house can be as much as 6000 to [-] yuan, which is a huge amount of money that even Bai Meixi herself is excited about.

Early the next morning, Bai Meixi tied tea leaves and salt to a camel. She learned the lesson from the last time and did not bring too many goods to the herdsmen's market to avoid being underpriced.

But as soon as she came out of the space today, she felt something was wrong. The surrounding air was too cold. Even though Bai Meixi was wearing a large cotton coat, she still felt a chill that made her shiver all over.

There was no snow near the camp yesterday, but there was a heavy snowstorm near the market, and the temperature dropped by more than ten degrees. The entire mountain was covered with snow, and it was like entering a world of ice and snow.

Bai Meixi quickly took out a heater from the space and stuffed it into her arms, but the heat could not withstand such a heavy wind and snow. After a while, the charcoal fire in the heater cooled down, leaving only a cold iron lump.

She could only give up the idea and throw the cold heater back into space. Today she would exchange some more wool blankets with the herdsmen. She had touched them once in the herdsmen's houses. Those blankets were very warm and were much warmer than large cotton coats. Still useful.

The herdsmen's market is coming soon. Looking from a distance, today's market is very deserted.

Bai Meixi had a bad premonition that she might not be able to do business today, but she still moved forward with a faint hope. There were many yurts in the herdsmen's market where she had lived there for a long time, and she could go door to door. Promotion can always sell a little bit.

When Bai Meixi arrived at the herdsmen's market, she felt that it was extremely desolate. Not only was there no one setting up stalls, but there were even several yurts missing. Many people were loading their cars and preparing to leave.

Bai Meixi found that the people here looked in a hurry and their steps were particularly flustered, as if they were fleeing.

"Sister-in-law, what happened? Why is everyone leaving?"

Bai Meixi found the first family of a strong man to buy her things. After getting along with her for the past few days, the relationship between their two families was particularly good. Every time Bai Meixi went to the stall, the sister-in-law's family would prepare some hot milk tea for her. She drinks.

But now even their family has taken down the fence and tied their children to the sled. It looks like they are moving the whole family.

"Toya, why are you here at this time? Hurry up and put the blanket over your head, otherwise your ears will get frostbite." The sister-in-law brought a sheepskin blanket over and wrapped Bai Meixi's head tightly. Get up, leaving only two eyes outside.

The herdsmen live in the wind and snow all year round, and the blanket is particularly warm. Bai Meixi's whole face heats up, but what she hears next makes her heart feel as cold as ice.

"Go back quickly. The blizzard is coming. We can't stay here anymore. Everyone will leave today." The sister-in-law asked Bai Meixi to go home quickly. If she waited for the blizzard to hit, she would probably be in the snow. Lost in the forest, she would never be able to go back.

"Then when will you come back? Wait until the snowstorm is over?" Bai Meixi didn't see any difference in the color of the sky from usual days. She has experienced several snowstorms in the past two days, and every time she was able to escape the danger. Ji, it will never come to the point where the whole family has to flee.

But the herdsmen here felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, as if this snowstorm was unusual.

"We won't be back this year. It's getting colder and we have to go to the col to take shelter. It's like this every year."

The sister-in-law hurriedly explained that this year's snowstorm came earlier than in previous years, catching all of them off guard. Someone had already moved last night. They had many children at home, and they were afraid of something happening on the road, so they waited until this morning.What this sister-in-law said was like a bolt from the blue to Bai Meixi. She bought so much tea and salt just to sell to the herdsmen. Now that the market is gone, wouldn't these goods fall into her hands?

"Then what should you do when you buy things? You can't live on these muttons all winter, right?" Bai Meixi is not only worried about her own business, but also worried about the lives of these herdsmen. There are still several months before spring. If there is no salt, there will be no food. Vegetables, many people may not be able to sustain it until the next spring.

"A few dozen miles to the west, there is a market. After the snowstorm passes, there should be many people going there. If you want to sell goods, go to the market in the west to try your luck, but you have to remember that human life is more important than human life. The cargo is important. If there is a snowy day, I would rather leave all the cargo behind and find a shelter from the wind as soon as possible."

The sister-in-law told Bai Meixi the location of the west market, and at the same time told her to be careful of the wind and snow.

That market was much smaller than the market here. It was in a small mountain valley, with stalls set up against a small cave. You could only buy some simple things.

Most people will prepare for the winter before the snowstorm comes, and only buy some temporarily needed things at the market. However, this year's snowstorm has come so far in advance that many people do not have enough reserves and can only carry on. Maybe after spring, many people won’t be able to see each other.

This is the life of herdsmen. Although it seems that there are flocks of cattle and sheep, and they have no worries about food and drink, their survival is far less guaranteed than that of people in the city.

"Sister-in-law, how is your house? Do you have enough for winter this year? I have some black tea and salt here. You can use it as a return gift for this blanket."

Bai Meixi had packed tea and salt into small bags before going out. Tea was 1 catties per bag and salt was 1 catties per bag. She took 5 bags of tea and 2 bags of salt from the camel, so that the sister-in-law could do it no matter what. Bring it with you.

"How can this be done? Black tea and salt are the most scarce things here. This old blanket of mine is not worth so much money."

The sister-in-law didn't dare to ask for it. What people in pastoral areas lack most is salt. They often have to go to several markets for a few kilograms of salt. The price varies every day. In some remote areas, the price can increase several times overnight.

The weather is so bad now, and salt is even more valuable. This gift from Bai Meixi is really too heavy.

"Sister-in-law, you don't have to be so polite. Let's go quickly. I have to go back too." Bai Meixi told the sister-in-law not to refuse. They still had a long way to go when moving west, so they had to set off as soon as possible before dawn. The snow-capped mountains will definitely be more dangerous once night falls.

"To tell you the truth, Toya, we are worried about the salt. I really don't know how to thank you this time."

Bai Meixi did this sister-in-law a big favor. Her family had plenty of other things, but salt was always in short supply. These 10 kilograms of salt could not only save the lives of their family during the days when the mountains were closed by heavy snow, but also save the life of their family. The lives of dozens of herders.

Bai Meixi left the market and returned to the space through the third door. All the people in the herdsmen's market had moved away, and the footprints they left were soon covered by wind and snow, as if the entire market was covered with snow. Never appeared.

Bai Meixi had already found the address of the west market from the map. This place was indeed very remote, but since this was what the herdsmen told her, she had to go and have a look.
