As soon as Lin Guoping left, Lin Manman could no longer sit still. She first wrote a note in her room and put it on the table, and then went to Lin Shouwang and Lin Shangjing's room.
Lin Manman said directly:
"Brother, little brother, I want to go out and visit Yu City. I haven't been to Yu City yet!"
Lin Shouwang was worried about Lin Manman going out alone, so he sent Lin Shangjing away and said:
"Go to the capital, you should go with Manman. Manman is unfamiliar with the place, and I don't feel comfortable with you going alone!"
Lin Manman quickly stopped him and said:
"No need, second brother. I won't feel comfortable if my younger brother doesn't stay to take care of you. Besides, I won't go far. I'll just walk around nearby. Don't worry!"
Hearing Lin Manman say that she didn't want to go far, Lin Shouwang didn't say much and let Lin Manman go out for a walk. Lin Manman then ran out happily.
Lin Manman had already inquired in advance that the closest county to Yulin City is Yantan County. The salt beach mutton in Yantan County is the best, so she must buy some back!
There are two buses from Yulin City to Yantan County every day, one in the morning and one in the evening. The one-way trip takes about 6 hours. She has a lot of things to buy, so it is unlikely that she can come back on the same day. That’s why she thought of leaving a note to prevent them from worrying if they can’t find her!
She had thought it through. She would be back in two days at the latest. She would definitely come back earlier than Lin Guoping. After all, it would take him one and a half days to go from Yushu to Zhangjiagou Production Team one way!
Thinking of this, Lin Manman hurried to the station. She calculated the time just right. When she arrived at the station, there was exactly half an hour before the early bus departed. Lin Manman quickly bought a ticket, got on the bus, found an empty seat by the window and sat down.
Thinking that there was still more than 6 hours of driving time, Lin Manman pulled up her scarf, leaned back and pretended to sleep, but her mental energy had actually already entered the space!
The main thing is that this batch of crops needs to be harvested. No matter how busy we are, we have to hurry up and harvest the crops!
Lin Manman first harvested the third crop of corn, covering 9 acres, and produced a total of jin of corn kernels!
Seeing these gains, Lin Manman was instantly happy!
Originally, there wasn't much food left in the space after exchanging it for fruits and seafood in Guangshi last time.
There are only 100 kilograms of soybeans and millet left. If you remove the ones kept for seeds, there will be less than a few dozen kilograms left. Lin Manman is not planning to buy any more.
There are still 1,100 kilograms of rice, 1,260 kilograms of wheat, and 2,400 kilograms of corn.
It sounds like a lot, but it’s more than a pound of salt marsh mutton or beef, and 5 pounds of corn. These can’t be exchanged for much!
What's more, Lin Manman also needs two oxen and a few beach sheep to put into the space, so more food will be needed!
But now that she has this kilogram, Lin Manman no longer has to worry. This is enough!
It’s just not enough. We still have about 800 kilograms of wild boar meat. We can take it out and exchange it for some more!
She already has delicious salt marsh mutton and beef, why would she eat wild boar meat?
Besides, aren’t there some in the deep mountains?
Lin planted the next batch of crops with great satisfaction.
Because she thought corn was the most suitable exchange, and she had enough rice, flour, and millet to eat this year, so Lin Manman planted corn in her space!
Lin Manman has thought it through. As long as she doesn’t eat the rice herself, she won’t plant more rice. After all, this rice is too eye-catching!
A small amount is fine, but if there is too much and someone targets you, that would be very troublesome!
There is no need, there is really no need. Is it that corn is inconvenient or that corn is difficult to sell?
She took this risk and didn't get anything extra. What was she trying to achieve? Just to find some trouble for no reason?
Corn is still the best. Whether you sell it or exchange it for something, it is convenient and inconspicuous. If someone finds that her corn is of better quality, it means that they think she is genuine. Just think about her good points and don’t think too much about it!
It took Lin Manman a lot of time to harvest and plant these nine acres.
By the time Lin Manman pulled his mental strength out of the space and pulled down his scarf, the flight attendant had already begun to remind everyone to get ready to get off the bus and take their belongings with them!
In order not to waste time after getting off the bus, Lin Manman started to talk to the woman sitting next to her, who looked like a village lady:
"Are you from the Salt Flats?"
Aunt Xu heard that the girl who had been sleeping next to her had woken up and was talking to her, so she replied in a thick local dialect:
"Little comrade, you are such a good sleeper. I sat next to you the moment I got on the bus. You never woke up once during this bumpy ride!"
"Auntie, you are from here. Comrade, judging from your accent, you are from another place. Are you here as an educated youth?"
Lin Manman automatically ignored the old lady's words that she could sleep. There was nothing she could do. Could she explain to her that she had just harvested 9 acres of land and planted another 9 acres of land in the space?
If you really say that, I will have to ask someone to send me to a mental hospital! I'd better not scare you!
But since the old lady was from the local area, that would be easy to deal with. Lin Manman did not reply to the question whether the old lady was an educated youth. Instead, he took out a handful of fruit candies from his pocket and handed them to the old lady, and asked in a low voice:
"Auntie, do you know how to get to the black market?"
When Aunt Xu heard Lin Manman asking about the black market, she was about to refuse to answer, but then she saw that Lin Manman was holding a handful of candy, which might be worth 7-8 yuan!
Aunt Xu immediately took the candy with a smile on her face and said in a low voice:
"The black market is very close to the bus station. When you get out of the station, go to the back. There will be people guarding there. You can enter by paying 2 cents!"
After saying that, Aunt Xu put the candies in her pocket, for fear that Lin Manman would regret it. There were 7-8 pieces of candies in total. Each of her grandchildren could get one piece, and she could leave 3 pieces for her little girl. This was really great!
Lin Manman was also satisfied. Even though the black market was right behind the station, who would go behind the station for no reason? So if she didn't ask, she would never be able to find it!
After getting off the bus, Lin Manman went straight to the back of the station. Just as Aunt Xu said, there was a boy looking around as if he was watching for the wind.
Lin Manman walked over, and he looked at Lin Manman very vigilantly. Lin Manman said nothing and directly took out 2 cents in his hand.
Seeing the money Lin Manman took out, the boy was no longer nervous and continued to look around.
Considering that time is tight this time and the live cattle and sheep required are not easy to get, it is better to directly find the person who manages the black market!
Lin Manman asked the boy:
"Little comrade, do you know who can buy a living thing?"
Seeing that Lin Manman didn't go in, but was talking to him instead, delaying his watch, the young boy said impatiently:
"Living things, what living things? Chickens, ducks, and geese. There are people selling them inside. You can see for yourself when you go in. Don't delay me from keeping watch. If anything goes wrong, you can take responsibility!"
Lin Manman continued:
"Can I ask you about chickens, ducks, and geese? I want big, live animals."
After hearing what she said, the young boy took it more seriously and asked:
"What big creature? Don't keep me in suspense, just tell me!"
