Chapter 59 58. Pepper Seeds

Huaiyu laughed.

She roughly knew what the two defenders on the opposite side meant.

Perhaps it was because I was dressed too simply, and I had to carry a basket to adventure to the Rose Corridor, so they mistakenly thought that I was short of money.

Okay, it's indeed quite shy.

There are only more than 20 points left now.

But, there are already too many kind-hearted people helping me.

From the kind reminder to collect relief food, to the sleeping bag sent by Captain Zhou, who had only met her once, and the subsequent help, even Boss Tang was kind to her.

Huaiyu feels that a person's blessings are limited.

The more good others are to her, the more she should cherish this kindness. Now that she has already broken free from the basic needs of survival, everything she has obtained is a gift from heaven and earth, so there is no need to use this to earn the kindness of ordinary people.

Two defenders handed over bracelets, and one of them gave Huaiyu a point, which earned him a large handful of reed sprouts from the girl in front of him.

The three of them gathered together and laughed happily for some reason.

By the time we had a handful of peeled grass from the thatch sprouts in our hands, we had arrived at the Jinyuan Community.

Many people came up to the platform, and Huaiyu said goodbye to the two of them with a smile, carrying his backpack, and got off the train at this platform for the first time.

The platform is right at the ruins of a primary school.

Various weeds grew among the broken walls, but there was nothing edible. They had probably been dug up by residents of the community.

Based on the conversation of the aunties on the bus, she knew that this place was originally broken by a huge mutant pumpkin vine in the [Student Vegetable Garden].

However, even though the mutant pumpkin became crazy and unpalatable after the mutation, it still saved the lives of hundreds of people when everyone was out of ammunition and food.

Walk two steps forward from the primary school and cross the road, you can see the original grand gate and road of Jinyuan Community.

Huaiyu walked into the community with a basket on his back, and found that there were other people carrying baskets and bags, also coming from outside, and he couldn't help but look at each other curiously.

They gathered in twos and threes, chatting, and seemed to be from other small communities around.

There are few people there, so everyone trades their extra goods in Jinyuan Community. Now, after more than a month, a small market has been formed here.

She walked into the originally magnificent fountain square, and saw that it had become two circular streets. Sacks were spread on the ground, crowded together, and the sound of bargaining was heard one after another, making the place extremely prosperous.

Huaiyu seemed to arrive a little late. He walked around the Fountain Square twice with a basket on his back, but couldn't find a place to set up a stall.

I did see some second-hand farm tools for sale, and when I asked the price, I learned that a very old hoe was only 12 cents a piece.

I don't know how long this hoe has been used. It looks more like something just picked up from a village yard.

A wedge was hammered into the hole where the smooth wooden handle and the metal head met, firmly locking the hoe in place. This is very different from the one-piece manganese steel hoes that are now on the market.

Huaiyu tried to swing the hoe and found that the weight was quite suitable. Then he thought about his reclamation plan and decided to buy it even if it would cost him half of his savings.

Taking advantage of the business of buying a hoe, she sat down next to the farm tool stall with a bamboo backpack.

The owner of the stall next to her looked at her and didn't chase her away. Instead, the old lady on the other side said, "Girl, there are a few of these grass sprouts around our community. They won't fill your stomach, and there's nothing to eat. I don't think you can sell them at a good price."

Huaiyu smiled and nodded: "I know, I'm just trying it."

There were also about a dozen fresh shepherd's purse that had just been dug out of the soil on the old lady's stall.

The other party nodded and asked, "What's the price?"

Huaiyu wanted to say 5 cents per pound, but changed his mind when the words came to his lips: "1 cent per handful."

As she spoke, she took out a handful of reed sprouts from the basket, straightened them out, tied them up with a rubber band, and put them on display.

It happened that the grandson of the owner of the hoe stall came back and when he saw the green and neatly arranged thatch sprouts, he couldn't help but squat down and look at them curiously.

He looked no more than six or seven years old, and he probably had never eaten this before. Huaiyu laughed, took out a cigarette and handed it to him:

"Try it."

Not everyone in Jinyuan Community uses a variation value detector. Many things bought and sold here are estimated by tasting.

We have been eating all kinds of plants for six years, and they can't guarantee the accuracy of how good the good ones are. But everyone has a scale in their mind about the price of slightly inferior ones.

The child reached out and carefully took the sprout, imitating Huai Yu's clumsy way of peeling off the green skin, revealing the white, tender and soft inside.

Wow! He widened his eyes, turned around and ran to the crowd to call another girl:

"Sister, come and eat!"

Soon, a circle of children gathered in front of the small stall.

Everyone looked at the pile of thatch sprouts with curiosity and desire, it seemed like they had never seen it before.

Huaiyu smiled and sighed, then picked up a handful and distributed them one by one:

"Come on, one for each of you."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The shop owner stared at her and asked, "How come you are so good at business?"

After a pause, he said, "Forget it, give me one. I haven't eaten this for years. No, I have to try one first. If it tastes too bad, I don't want it."

Huaiyu handed over the sprouts with a smile and didn't tell the children to eat them all. If they tasted bad, they would definitely not come again.

Not long after, another child came over holding his mother's clothes, staring at the green grass sprouts with joy.

Huaiyu was stunned. He never expected that these things that were originally unsaleable would be sold out in such a short time.

Although I only collected a dozen cents in total, the feeling of setting up a stall was somewhat different from selling things to Boss Tang.

For some reason, she also felt very happy.

…

The trading market in Jinyuan Community is also quite interesting, with many items being half-new and half-old. There is even a special waste Taobao area, where residents from all over the place come and go.

Rather than trading with points, people are more accustomed to bartering.

There are even people selling vegetable seedlings.

According to the boss, he built a small greenhouse at home to grow the crops, and they are very popular.

The pepper seedlings, which were ten times the size, were sold out in a short time.

What a pity.

Huaiyu stood there and watched for a long time, then touched his pocket and counted the dozen cents he had just earned and the remaining ten cents, and had no choice but to give up.

After thinking about it, I turned back:

“Do you have seeds for sale?”

"Yes, sell it!"

The other party seemed to be used to it and took out a small bag of chili seeds from his pocket.

"One cent per seed. Buy 10 and get one free. I don't care whether it sprouts or what it looks like!"

Update 1. I am so exhausted today... I can't write anymore. I will update once. But I am still writing. Let's see how long I can hold on.

Although Song Tan next door has taken a leave, he is still writing and will update as soon as possible tomorrow.
