Made of white flour?! No wonder it smells so good!

The woman suddenly realized.

In this era, productivity is low, and it is already good for farmers to be able to eat enough, and the daily practical coarse food, such as corn, is very rough and difficult to swallow, but as long as you like it, it is the best choice to fill your stomach. What's more, the coarser the grain, the better the harvest. Those good grains need to be exchanged for good seeds before they can be planted, and they have to be very carefully cared for. Even if the farmers have a plant, they will not keep it for themselves to eat, but will choose to sell it.

The wealthy families would pay a lot of money for these grains.

As a result, most farmers have never tasted the taste of fine noodles. At most, it is like the white flour patty that I tasted in the "Huiyuan Building" before, mixing white flour and coarse grains. Of course, their texture is naturally not as good as that of meatloaf made entirely with white flour. But in this way, it can have the aroma of white flour, and the cost is not too expensive.

Price is the most troublesome problem for fine grains. Even if a woman's family is quite wealthy, she is reluctant to eat all-white bread, and every time she rushes, she eats coarse grain cakes. It's not very tasty, but it's very hungry.

As soon as she heard Sheng Qingqing say that this cake was made of white flour, the woman immediately stopped talking. A cake made of white flour, if you want to buy it on the market, it will cost at least a dozen yuan. She ran this trip, and it was only fifty yuan!

The woman was frightened, and she didn't dare to ask Sheng Qingqing where her white face came from.

Sheng Qingqing was a little disappointed for a while. She was ready to push the source of this white flour to the head of the shopkeeper, but people didn't ask.

The ox cart clattered forward, putting aside the white flour cake, the woman had a lot to say, and chatted with Sheng Qingqing along the way. Sheng Qingqing is also very good at seizing opportunities, taking advantage of the conversation, and set up a lot of words. Most of them are hidden things in the village.

The original owner was still young before, and because her family was poor, although the villagers would help her, these gossips would not be talked about in front of her. Therefore, Sheng Qingqing only had a general understanding of the composition of the people in the village, but as for the more detailed things, he didn't know anything.

And this detail - why is the daughter-in-law of the east family moving towards reconciliation every day, and the widow of the west family has a leg with whoever is in the east of the village.

To sum it up, there are all kinds of rumors and gossip, many of which are of course exaggerated, but it is also interesting to listen to them from the perspective of a bystander.

In Sheng Qingqing's words, even the story will not be as exciting as these things in the village.

I don't know where the woman heard about it, these things are really endless, and she still has an unfinished expression when she reaches her destination.

"Oops, it's here." The woman felt a little pity. You must know that in the past, she was eager to end the trip quickly.

Sheng Qingqing is really a good listener, she seems to be very curious about everything, but she is not the kind of person who will comment at will. But it can be seen that she listens very carefully, and from time to time she will pick up a few words.

Sheng Qingqing did not have such a regretful mood. She already knew about the gossip in the village, and she doubted that the rest was made up by the woman, otherwise how could it be more and more bizarre the more she talked, and even the gods and ghosts came out. So when she heard the back, she was really a little excited.

Fortunately, the destination has finally arrived.

Looking around, it really deserves the name of "Baili Mountain", and sure enough, there are mountains within a radius of 100 miles, and everywhere you see are towering trees and various plants. It is spring, the season of recovery, and the plants in this mountain are even more luxuriant, as if this piece of heaven and earth is wrapped in green grass and green leaves, and flowers are in full bloom.

And it's deserted, with no trace of human life, just a very narrow road that winds through the mountains.

The ox cart that Sheng Qingqing was riding had just arrived from one end of this path.

"Here we have crossed the boundary of Baili Mountain." The woman, who was still riding in the ox cart, pointed to a stone tablet on the side of the road.

Sheng Qingqing looked in the direction she pointed, and sure enough, she saw the three big characters "Baili Mountain" on the stone stele. It may have not been repaired for many years, and the stele looks a little dilapidated, and the three large characters originally depicted in red cinnabar are also much darker. If the woman hadn't pointed it out, if she hadn't looked closely, she wouldn't have been able to find it for a while.

"Thank you, sister-in-law, then I'll get off here!"

Sheng Qingqing jumped down from the ox cart neatly. Unlike the bumpy carriage, although the ox cart was slower, it was more stable, she didn't feel motion sickness at all, her legs were also strong and powerful, and the jumping movement was clean and neat.

"Sister-in-law doesn't have to wait for me, I need to look here for at least half a day, it's not good to delay my sister-in-law's business." Sheng Qingqing said with a smile as she handed over the rest of the car money to the woman.

Half of the deposit was required for the ride, so she now gave the woman only twenty-five cents.

The twenty-five pennies, if taken out together, seem to be a lot of weight, at least enough to fill the palm of the hand. If a woman's palm is not large, it will take two hands to fully support it.

The woman counted the numbers carefully and hid them close to her.

Twenty-five cents, for ordinary thrifty people, can live a good life for several days. If a woman is like this, she can earn money by running for two hours, which can be said to be very profitable, and ordinary people are afraid that they will be very satisfied. But when the woman saw Sheng Qingqing take out fifty yuan so casually, her heart suddenly moved.

People who can get rich in a short period of time will not be too simple.

The woman suddenly said: "Qingqing, how dangerous is this wilderness, I still don't worry that you are here alone, otherwise my sister-in-law will help you pick that medicinal herb together, right?" ”

Since this medicinal material is to be collected by the owner of the spice shop in the town, as long as it is a medicinal material, the other party should accept it. As for whether Sheng Qingqing won it or not, I'm afraid it doesn't matter. And the medicinal herbs grow in Baili Mountain, she Sheng Qingqing can pick them, and others can naturally pick them.

Looking at Sheng Qingqing's generous appearance of casually taking out fifty yuan, it is obvious that this medicinal material is very expensive. If she can also do this business, how much more business can the family have in the future!

Thinking of this, the woman's breathing became a little heavier. She was afraid that Sheng Qingqing would refuse, so she added, "You can also go back together when the time comes, in this wilderness, if I go back, you won't be able to find a car." ”

This Baili Mountain is a series of mountains within a radius of 100 miles, and there is indeed no human population nearby, if you want to take a ride, you still need to walk a long way to go to the post station. If it's an old man, it's not difficult, at most it's a little tiring. But if it's a little girl......

As Sheng Qingqing said, it will take at least half a day for her to finish picking. In other words, by the time she completes her task, it will be ten in the evening. When she wants to take a ride, I'm afraid she will have to walk at night.

Walking at night between these rolling mountains, even a woman who is accustomed to walking the rivers and lakes, can't help but feel worried when she thinks about it. Not to mention a little girl like Sheng Qingqing.

The woman decided that Sheng Qingqing did not dare to walk alone, so she said this very confidently.

However, Sheng Qingqing surprised her again.

"Thank you, sister-in-law, but forget it. The shopkeeper of the medicinal herbs only showed me a sample, and he told me that the medicinal herbs were very scarce, and it was impossible to find them for a while, and if I couldn't find them in half a day, I was afraid that I would have to sleep in the mountains. Sheng Qingqing said with a smile.

She laughed, but the woman was discolored, "Sleeping in the open?!" ”

What is the concept of sleeping alone in the mountains? Jackals, tigers and leopards may appear at any time and take you away, and in addition to these beasts, there will also be poisonous insects and ants, and it can be a great thing to be bitten. There is no doctor in this wilderness, and if it is poisoned, it is basically a dead end.

"This ...... This...... Qingqing, are you crazy? The woman was so shocked that she could not speak fluently.

However, Sheng Qingqing said with a serious face: "I'm not crazy. Sister-in-law, you know, I spent so much money here just to pick the herbs. And the reason why the medicinal herb can be sold so expensive, of course, is also because it is difficult to obtain. The so-called wealth and danger seek ......"

Even though she was horrified in her heart, the woman still felt that what Sheng Qingqing said was actually reasonable. The more difficult it is to obtain, the more expensive it is. Like the white face, and like this...... Medicine.

"That'...... In that case, my sister-in-law won't accompany you, and there will be other guests waiting tomorrow. The woman laughed dryly, but did not dare to linger any longer, and was about to leave in the ox-cart.

She didn't have the courage to stay in this wilderness at night, she still had a family, and the money she had saved over the years had not been spent, and a pair of children had not yet said goodbye, so she couldn't risk doing this kind of life-and-death business!

The woman didn't suspect that Sheng Qingqing was lying to her. It's really that this Baili Mountain is too remote, there is no means of transportation, only two legs, and it is absolutely impossible to go to the main road for half a day.

Sheng Qingqing only didn't see the woman's stiff expression, she still looked smiling, and waved goodbye to the woman.

When the shadow of the ox cart was finally no longer visible on the path, she exhaled slowly.

It was a physical task to deceive people, but fortunately the woman did not know much, otherwise she would not have been able to deceive her with these words. At least if she had been in front of the shopkeeper Wan or Young Master Cheng just now, she would never have been so relaxed.

"It's quiet." Sheng Qingqing looked around and sighed.

Without the woman's incessant words, the already quiet mountains were even quieter. I could only faintly hear some insects and birds, but these sounds made the surrounding dense forest seem even deeper.

"It's a little scary......"

Although in modern times, Sheng Qingqing came from the countryside. But she really hadn't been to the mountains alone.

Deep mountains are not places where people can stay for a long time, especially unexplored mountains, and you are still alone......
