Chapter 6 Food Exchange
Ula grass, also known as squid grass, mainly grows in the Northeast region. The temperature in the northeast is low in winter, and ordinary cotton shoes are difficult to keep warm. Smart Northeasters dry and pound the Ula grass into their shoes to prevent cold, or simply use Ula grass to wove shoes, which are economical and durable.
Moreover, Ulacao also has the effects of removing odor, promoting meridians and activating meridians, eliminating fatigue, improving blood circulation, and improving immunity. It is very popular among people in Northeast China. It is known as the Three Treasures of Kanto together with ginseng and mink.
However, due to excessive mining of Ula grass in later generations, Ula grass once became very rare, unlike now.
Looking at the bush of urla grass, Zheng Yaqin wondered whether he could cut the bush of urla grass, weave a few pairs of shoes, and trade it with that young man?
The young man also has a northern accent and should know Ulacao.
Even if you don’t know each other, it doesn’t matter. His elders will definitely know each other. The old man is nostalgic. She made some slippers and mats of Ulacao, which the old man will definitely like.
Thinking of this, she immediately ran home, took a sickle and cut the bunch of urla grass into the dough.
Fearing that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law asked questions, she didn't go home after cutting the grass. Seeing that there was no one around, she took the grass into the space and weaved it in the space.
Zheng Yaqin's hands were very clever, and the slender and soft Ula grass was flexibly shuttled through her hands. In just over four hours, she woven a pair of soft and exquisite Ula grass slippers.
Looking at the slippers in his hand, Zheng Yaqin smiled with satisfaction.
Even if Professor Chen is so picky about her knitting skills, others will naturally not be able to find fault with her.
However, I just don’t know if that guy knows the goods!
With a nervous heart, she put her slippers into the cabinet and clicked on the transaction application.
Soon, the trader was connected.
Because her space is now at a low level, she can only contact one trading partner, which was the last time the guy.
"It's you again!"
When the young man saw that it was Zheng Yaqin, he seemed very disappointed and did not take much attitude towards her, "What are you looking for me? Do you have something to change?"
Zheng Yaqin said carefully, "I have a pair of Ula grass-woven slippers, purely handmade, can I exchange some food for you?"
The young man grabbed his head irritably and said impatiently, "I said little sister, brother, I finally got the plane space and want to make some money through the space. Can you not waste your brother's time? Slippers, do you think your brother is missing a pair of slippers?"
Zheng Yaqin hurriedly said, "I know you don't care about a pair of slippers, but I really can't take out anything else. I'm very hungry now. If I don't have food, I'll probably...starve to death..."
As she said that, she lowered her head and gently bit her lips, as if she was about to cry.
There was no way, in order to reach a deal, she could only act pitiful.
Fortunately, although this guy has a bad attitude, he is still very kind. Seeing Zheng Yaqin's pitiful look, he still felt compassion.
"Okay OK, really, for you so pitiful, I will help you once..."
After a while, the words "Trade Success" were displayed on the plane trading machine!
Zheng Yaqin was overjoyed and ran to the cabinet on the right. She opened the cabinet door and saw what she had received.
There are about ten kilograms of rice, seven or eight eggs, four boxes of milk, four bags of instant noodles, a pack of spicy strips and five ugly oranges.
"Hey, I've given you all the food I can eat at home. I'm not allowed to look for me if I don't have any decent things in the future. I'm not a charity."
The young man pointed at Zheng Yaqin through the screen and warned, "Even if you look for me, I won't help you anymore. I won't be able to do this--"
After saying that, before Zheng Yaqin could tell him what he was, he suddenly stepped down.
Zheng Yaqin looked at the things in the cabinet and smiled.
With these things, she has the capital and can find better trading items.
Oh, my stomach is a little uncomfortable. I’m hungry, so I’d better eat something to keep my stomach covered!
Zheng Yaqin returned to the cabinet, opened a box of milk, and drank it. After drinking the milk, she ate another ugly orange. She wanted to eat another bag of instant noodles, but she was reluctant to do so, so she left the space and went home.
It was already afternoon when I got home. After entering the house, I saw Zhang Guizhi finishing cleaning in the kitchen. Seeing Zheng Yaqin coming back, Zhang Guizhi instinctively wanted to ask Zheng Yaqin to clean the dishes, but before she could open her mouth, Zheng Yaqin spoke first.
"Ah, I've finished my meal? Is there anything else to eat? I haven't eaten yet!"
Hearing Zheng Yaqin's mouth was so thorny that she wanted to eat, Zhang Guizhi almost got angry. She wanted to scold her a few words, but she was worried about her identity as a god. She was holding her breath, and her youngest son spoke next to her-
"Nothing left, we are told to eat it all. We are shameless and eat our family's food!"
Influenced by the adults at home, this little boy also believes that Zheng Yaqin, an outsider, should not eat their family’s food. Nowadays, the food is so precious, but Zheng Yaqin eats their family’s food every day. She is such a shameless bad woman.
Zheng Yaqin glanced at the little boy, turned to look at the old lady and Zhang Guizhi, "My mother, can you give me some food? I just need to eat a bowl of muddy porridge."
Old Mrs. Zheng didn't expect that Zheng Yaqin could ask for food. Her old face suddenly became embarrassed. Zhang Guizhi said bluntly, "Didn't you eat all of them in the morning? I've eaten a whole cake, and why can't I eat enough for a cake a day?"
Well, this is to restore her treatment of only one meal a day!
No, she has always treated this way, but she just gave her a favor today and asked her to have a meal.
Although she is now a "god", the old lady and Zhang Guizhi are also more afraid of her. But they are still unhappy to let them buy so much food and rice every day to support her, the god.
Even if you offend the gods!
Zheng Yaqin sneered, "Okay, then I won't eat it."
She raised her legs and walked into the kitchen, hum, if you don’t eat, you won’t eat. What’s so great about it? She doesn’t even want to eat their dog food.
When she walked into the kitchen, she lifted the lid of the pot. The pot was empty and there was only some water left for the pot.
"Hey, what are you...what are you going to do?"
Seeing Zheng Yaqin enter the kitchen to lift the lid of the pot, Old Mrs. Zheng and Li Guizhi became nervous. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law squeezed into the kitchen together and looked at Zheng Yaqin vigilantly, afraid that she would care about them asking for food.
Zheng Yaqin picked up the broom and said sarcastically while brushing the pot, "Don't be afraid, I won't eat your food. I just want to boil some water to wash my hair, wash my feet, and wipe my body. I feel like my body is very tired and has a lot of womb..."
While saying that, he washed out the water for the pot and added two more scoops of water to the pot.
Old Mrs. Zheng and Li Guizhi were relieved when they saw that Zheng Yaqin did not ask them for food.
