The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 535 How much is needed
"That kind of person should have been driven out a long time ago, Toya, thanks to you this time, otherwise we wouldn't be able to survive the winter this year."

The herdsman who exchanged deer skins for salt thanked Bai Meixi profusely. She helped him recover his losses. Now he can use the remaining 4 deer skins to exchange for some food. They will have flour to make Mongolian buns during the Chinese New Year this year. .

Others are also very happy. Tea and salt are two essential things in their lives. As long as these two things are well prepared, they can survive.

"You're welcome. I also got 10 sheep, which is enough." Bai Meixi was very satisfied with today's harvest. She gathered the sheep together and prepared to go back.

Suddenly I heard a loud noise outside the market, and several people hurried over. They were riding horses very fast, and the flying horse hooves splashed the snow on the ground, making everyone very alert. .

Everyone put their stuff into the yurt and came out with Mongolian knives and bows and crossbows, ready to fight.

"Toya, come here quickly, they may be bandits trying to steal things." A sister-in-law dragged Bai Meixi into her yurt and closed the wooden door of the yurt.

The life of nomadic people is not safe, and they are easily robbed when they are alone. Therefore, everyone has been wary of these people for a long time and often gathers together to fight against bandits.

Bai Meixi felt that this yurt was not as safe as the outside. The small wooden door would break if kicked hard. Hiding here would hinder their escape.

"We're not here to rob, we just want to live here." After seeing everyone holding weapons, the leading man quickly pointed to the family members behind him. There were several women and children sitting on the sleigh, with camels and animals behind him. The horses were pulling a large amount of debris, and there were several folded yurts on them, which really looked like they were here to set up camp.

"This place is full. You can find another place." The nomads also have rules, first come first served. The number of yurts here has doubled than usual. There is no room to accept new people, let alone these people. They looked vicious, especially the leader, who had a huge scar on his face. It looked like he had been chopped by someone. Putting such a person in would make everyone feel uneasy.

"We really have no place to go. All the food at home was lost in the snowstorm a few days ago. This time we came here just to exchange our livestock for something. If we move to another place, it will be difficult to buy good things. ”

The leading man is named Temuer, and he is also the leader of a small tribe. In the past few years, his tribe has been living deep in the grassland, far away from the crowd. Because of the small population, there is only one salesman who delivers things on time.

But starting last month, the salesman suddenly stopped coming, and the sudden heavy snowstorm caused them a lot of losses, forcing them to move towards the crowd.

He wanted to buy food along the way, but no matter which house he went to, no one was willing to exchange food for them. Everyone's reserves this year were not enough, and there was no spare money to help outsiders.

Salt, in particular, was in short supply. His family had not eaten salt for more than half a month. Now his wife and children were all sick, lying on the sled and unable to get up, and he had no strength to move elsewhere.

"We heard that there was someone selling salt here, so we came here specially. Is the salt seller still here? Can you sell us some."

Temuer's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw a bag of salt in a man's hand. With this bag of salt, his wife and children would be saved.

"It was available just now, but it's all sold out. Go over and ask Toya if she can bring more salt here tomorrow, but the place here is full and you can't move in." The herdsmen finally gave in. Temur was allowed to enter by himself, but his family and subordinates were blocked from the market. The people here did not give up resistance and were always wary of these outsiders.

"I'm sorry, today's salt has been sold out. I will come back tomorrow." Bai Meixi did not go back to the space immediately to get the salt, lest her behavior would arouse suspicion, not to mention that Temuer did not seem to be a kind person and had to be on guard.

"Then can you get some more salt? We have a lot of cattle and sheep behind us, and we can afford to replace them with any amount." Temuer came to the market on a rare occasion and wanted to purchase enough things for a year.

A total of 200 kilograms of salt, 400 kilograms of tea, and 200 kilograms of vegetables.

These things are not a small number. If they were all replaced by sheep, there would be at least several hundred. The herdsmen here are afraid that Bai Meixi, a good traveling merchant, will be kidnapped by these people, so they must trade here.

"No problem, I will bring horses and sheep over tomorrow." Temuer agreed happily. He did not bring people into the camp, but set up a tent three kilometers away from the market.

Bai Meixi was not sure about the origin of these people, so she left the market with 10 sheep, returned to the space, and locked the sheep in a wooden fence.

There are still a lot of tea leaves and salt in the space, and the only thing missing is grass. Bai Meixi returned to Tong County through the second door of the space, and found that the little boy selling vegetables had disappeared.

Bai Meixi was a little disappointed. She originally wanted Luo Bing to help find a job for the little boy, but now she couldn't find him. She could only spend 20 yuan to buy 200 kilograms of vegetables from others, and then went to the forage seller. I want to buy fodder from local people.

"Sister, you are here again. These fodders are all mine. You can pick whatever you like." The little boy showed his little face from the pile of fodder. Since he helped Bai Meixi cut the fodder last time, he found that this was A good business. From that day on, he cut grass in the town every day. When he couldn't sell it, he piled it aside. Unknowingly, he had accumulated a lot.

"Aren't you afraid of losing the fodder in the town?" Bai Meixi was a little worried about the little boy, fearing that all his hard work would be in vain.

"It's okay. The village chief found a shed for me. I will have my own stall from now on."

The little boy was full of pride when he talked about this. In order to help him, the village chief specifically explained his family's situation to the town mayor so that he could find a small shed in the town to store his things. Now he and his mother live in Here, the income is much higher than before.

Bai Meixi glanced into the shed and found a woman in her thirties who nodded slightly towards her and was covered with a thick quilt.

"These fodder are very good. Give me 1000 kilograms and I will buy all the fodder I need from you."

Bai Meixi was very happy to see that the little boy could support himself. She happily spent 20 yuan to buy 1000 kilograms of fodder for the little boy, preparing to welcome a large wave of little sheep tomorrow.
