Chapter 354: : The desperate situation

"Girl, there are not many people who can buy food. I only have so few bags. These will have to be sold for a long time. If you panic, Auntie, I can't transfer it for you. If I want to collect grain, I have to go to the mountains to collect it. How can it take several days to go back and forth. Even so, you have to pay the deposit here in advance. If not, the grain I will receive will not be sold. It's hard to get out."
Uh, there are only four or five bags of grain, enough for dozens of them to eat for two days. In other words, if this woman did not receive the grain in time, they might really be hungry. Such a scene was unexpected by Qiu Chi. For a while, silently handed in the money for the order, only to order to go shopping quickly.
Mingyue picked it on one side, and picked it all over. After a lap, there is nothing left in this grocery store.
The long and fat lady boss looked at her and smiled like Maitreya Buddha.
"Hey, you guys are new here. We in Yicheng are doing these jobs with my family. It's all the food from the big guys, as well as pots, baskets and the like. You need hoes, and I still have sickles and the like here. But I don’t have much room to choose. These ironwares must be passed by merchants before I can buy a little. These are merchants, and the time they come and go is uncertain. Food is mainly sold to them. In fact, it is not called sales. Most of the time, I exchange goods with them. Fat aunt, I just exchange some food and add to the family expenses."
"Then your money here is useless?"
Qiu Chi couldn't believe it, when everyone liked silver, it didn't have much effect in this place. And fat aunt's answer also satisfactorily told her that in underdeveloped areas, money is sometimes not as good as a bag of grain.
"Haha, silver, it's useful, but it also scores people. A store like me is still useful. But if you want to go to the people's homes here, there is not much use of silver for them. Here, big Most things are exchanged for things. I use silver because I have contacts with outside merchants. If it weren’t for someone I know who was in the cargo business, I wouldn’t be able to do this for a living. Dealing with people, of course You have to use money, so that’s why I can collect your money. But ordinary people, really don’t collect money, they only need to exchange things by themselves.

Qiuchi and Mingyue's hearts sink a little bit. I can't imagine that in the most backward places, even money doesn't have much effect. What the is this?
Mingyue looked at this fat aunt's amused eyes, and asked in tears, "Then this aunt, how did the yamen here and the trading market get things done?"
"Oh, yamen, girls, do you think this yamen's servant is here, what else can I care about? Collect taxes? I heard that it is collected like this outside. Anyway, you are watching here. The tax collection is the most Collect a few bags of food. But our place is poor, and the food can’t be collected. So the servants of the yamen end up walking around the streets and alleys, fighting with the merchants, and working together to do something for life. It happens from time to time when the child arrives. By the side, the bad guys are either stuck here, writing for a few years, making a few more children, having a good time, and then leaving. I have seen many people coming and going. When the official comes, no one can do anything. There is no way, and it is not that the official do not want to do it, can't we let the official do, do you think girls?"
Qiu Chi didn't want to ask more, the more she listened, the more her heart sank to the bottom.
When it is the bright moon, it is still a persistent look.
"What about the bazaar?"
"Oh, every morning, look at the street in front of you. In the morning, people from all directions come here to trade all kinds of things. If there are people selling cattle and sheep, the servants will smoke a little. They are all small businesses, so there is no time for the rake. So the poor man here is actually really poor, and finally saw that there are cattle and sheep selling, but they just followed to the front snack shop, and please eat and drink. There was a pause. Here, the dishes made by that restaurant are just fine. Generally speaking, there are some dried dried meat, but there will be some wild game on the side. This is a hit of luck, after all, there is no business every day. ."
"I want to ask the lady boss, what's so local about this place?"
"Oh, there is a store that sells furs. They specialize in collecting and selling furs from wild animals, and then resell them to traders for food, ironware and silverware. There is also my grocery store, which deals everything. The other is the restaurant in front. In fact, while cooking by oneself, someone comes to eat and cooks a little bit by the way. Generally there are wild things like wax in the house. The woman’s craftsmanship is good. I have eaten it a few times. I also like it. There is also a shop for ironing, but this family is a bit strange. He only heard the sound of picking stones and irons, but they didn’t sell irons to us. They were all for merchants. People. I don’t know the specifics. If you want to inquire about this, you can’t figure it out. The side..."
The woman suddenly looked mysterious, lowered her voice and waved towards Qiuchi. "Come here, little girl, come here, Auntie, I'll give you some more news."
"Ah, what good news is there?"
The two hurried over.
The fat aunt also looked excited, "I can tell you, there is someone in our city who is opening the door to do business. The skin and flesh business, tsk, it's not just her doing it, let me take a look, she seems to be still I recruited another widow lady like her to do the job of getting food with her legs open."
Uh, it turns out that the skin and meat business is also a big event here.
The two of them were relatively ignorant, and laughed awkwardly, haha.
"Who can have extra food to sleep in such a poor place?"
Men have to have food to sleep.
"Astringent, you don't understand this. It's not just about harvesting food, but also burlap clothes, but also some. There are also some men in the mountains who have no wives. After hitting wild things, they will give the wives at will. A wild rabbit can sleep with her for several nights. There are a few guys on this mountain. As far as I know, they love hunting. Once they hit, they will come to this lady’s house to sleep for several nights. Once, there was The two guys are looking for her together. Tsk tsk, how can this one deal with two men. That little widow is really awesome."
