Yu Haojie muttered, but Ye Jiamei gave him a blank look!

"You think you can find coal, but you don't find saltpeter?"

"Actually, I think that according to the topography here, it is very likely to be found, but unfortunately the snow has not melted yet, and when the snow melts, you can try to find it."

Ye Jiamei's words fell, but Yu Luo ignored her suspicions and was moved.

If she can really find saltpeter, not to mention scaring those people in the rivers and lakes into not daring to come, she can do it if she wants to take this wild place for herself in the future.

"Or my daughter understands me, wife, you just say a little less frustrating, the weather has been slowly warming up recently, no accident, at most twenty days, all this snow will melt, and then it will be time for us to show our strength."

Day and night, in the middle of March, the snow in the wild land gradually melted, and the landform of this legendary wild land gradually emerged.

Because of the harassment of the Wanli Gang before, during this time, everyone was still apprehensive, hiding in the stone cave, and almost did not dare to come out.

It is also because of this that the alien beast is often rejected in the cave, so it has to dig the hole to play, and in a month, it is to dig out a small room for Yu Luo, but Yu Luo's family is very happy.

The people who have been in the wild land for more than a month have become more and more frugal, and the food on hand is becoming more and more bottom-out, although everyone is frugal and tries to boil the rice porridge as much as possible, but the food that has been distributed to each family is eaten by dozens of people in each family, and there is a time to eat it sooner or later.

The people in the stone houses in the distance finally came out, carrying the "hoes" polished out of the stones, and began to turn over the soil and sow seeds in the open space near their homes.

It's just that the people who came out were all men, and there was not a single woman, and Yu Luo also understood why they were here, and they weren't harassed by those people, after all, these people were so poor that they couldn't even afford a hoe, and there was no woman, and it was useless for those people to harass them.

"Second uncle, third uncle, I'm going to go to the lockdown city, do you need to buy something?"

The weather is fine, everyone takes off the heavy clothes on their bodies, and they only need to wear thin cotton clothes during the day, and add a thicker cotton coat in the morning and evening, which can also get through.

Although the lockdown is more than 200 miles away, it is still a mixed place, but if you want to live here, you must buy supplies.

Yu Zhengqing decided to take Zhang Yuan with him and go to the lockdown with the two of them.

When Yu Qiang heard this, he was naturally moved, "You wait, I'll go back and ask your third aunt about them." ”

After the words fell, he hurriedly went back to the old woman to calculate the silver taels on their bodies, but the family emptied a few pockets and only made up more than fifty taels of silver.

In the past, if these silver were in the countryside, they could live for ten years without problems, but now in this place, they have to buy everything by themselves, and it is not necessarily that the prices here are also very expensive, and the family suddenly has no confidence.

"It's better to take out thirty taels, all of them are exchanged for miscellaneous grains, and then take a few taels, and let him help us buy some grain seeds and vegetable seeds, otherwise in the future, I don't know how long I can last by relying on this little silver to buy food to eat, this is not like other places, you can still find a job to earn some silver taels, this is completely a place with dead money."

As an elder in the family, Shu Suhua has been used to careful calculations for most of his life, so he quickly distributed the silver.

"Then listen to my mother, now that the snow has melted, my father and I will go out to hunt again, maybe those animal skins can be exchanged for some silver in the future, which can be regarded as a kind of income, but I don't know what to sell in the closed city, if only I could go and see it."

As soon as he heard that his eldest son Yu Yongcai wanted to go to the lockdown, Shu Suhua's face immediately changed!

"Don't even think about it, look at your second brother's hard way to pick up a life, but it will take at least half a year to recover, your father and I are just your two sons, if you have a good one, then don't think about it as a family!"

Seeing that his mother's face changed immediately, Yu Yongcai hurriedly smiled, just comforting: "Mother, don't be nervous, I'm just talking, it's so dangerous over there, who dares to go without some time?" Okay, Brother Zhengqing is still waiting, I'll give the silver out with my father. ”

Seeing that his son still knew how to measure, Shu Suhua was relieved.

When Yu Qiang and Yu Yong came out, Yu Zhengqing and Zhang Yuan were already surrounded by a group of people.

Behind them, these days, Yu Zhengqing led a group of men to cut down two trees and make a simple carriage.

This carriage has nothing to do with luxury and comfort, but at least there is a carriage with wheels, which can be much more convenient.

"Zhengqing, your second uncle and we have so many people, it's just ten taels of silver, look, see if you can help us bring a few hundred catties of grain and some vegetable seeds or something, we don't want anything else."

Without waiting for Yu Zhengqing to speak, Yu Xiaoxuan on the side suddenly lost his anger, and looked directly at Yu Liang with a sneering face, and his face was cold to Yu Liang, who had made excessive requests to his father.

"Second grandfather, what do you mean? Ten taels of silver want to buy a few hundred catties of grain? Still want to buy some seeds? Do you think you're two hundred taels of silver? ”

Looking at Yu Xiaoxuan, who was unceremonious, he scolded himself, and Yu Liang hurriedly smiled on his face!

"Hehe, the second grandfather is not like you, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, these ten taels of silver can really buy hundreds of catties of rice in our former countryside. If I can't buy rice, you can buy grains for me. ”

When Yu Xiaoxuan heard this, he was immediately happy!

"The second grandfather also knows that it is the countryside before, this is a wild place where materials are in short supply, and he doesn't even know if there are cheap grains here, besides, even if there are grains, it can't be sold as cheaply as at home."

"Xiaoxuan is right, I accepted ten taels of silver, and I only know how much food I can buy when I go to the closed city."

Yu Zhengqing, who didn't want to waste time, was straightforward.

In fact, Yu Zhengqing, who has not experienced the logical thinking of people at the bottom, has not seen Yu Liang's small abacus at all.

Yu Liang and Yu Qiang's family had the same amount of silver as the two houses at the beginning, and in this wild place, they didn't spend any silver at all, even if they spent a few taels in the exchange market of the natives, but they still had at least forty taels on them.

But Yu Liang was under the influence of his eldest daughter-in-law Liu Lan, and he wanted to gather wool on Yu Zhengqing's body, so there was the scene just now.

Here, Yu Luo and the others looked at the bunch of people outside, surrounding Yu Zhengqing and Zhang Yuan, hesitating whether to open the grocery store now.

"If you open it now, will it feel like you're robbing while it's hot? How do I feel that if we tell them that we can buy things here, will they think that we might as well give them things directly? ”
