Rebirth: Peasant Girl is Good at Farming

Chapter 29 Unable to Afford?



Squid? This thing should be living in the sea, to be able to be transported here alive, it's not easy!

"This is called squid, sent by a distant relative of my wife. She said that it tastes like sea and it's not easy to get here, but my wife isn't used to eating it, so Lady Ning will bring it back to taste."

"Then I'll have to trouble you to thank Madam for my kindness."

"Lady Ning sure knows how to talk." After finishing her sentence with a smile, the green-robed girl headed back to the manor.

The servant boy reached out to grab the squid from the bowl and placed it into Ning Yan's basket: "Then Lady Ning, I'll be going back as well."

"Go back, thank you, little brother."

"No, no thanks."

When he heard the words of thanks for the first time, the servant's ears reddened and he turned to run back into the manor.

How simple! After getting the squid, Ning Yan turned around and walked towards the market. After moving away, he needed to buy some things. Otherwise, there were only a few hatchets and sickles left in the huge yard, making it seem like there was no one in the house.

After asking about the price of the meat, Ning Yan immediately gave up on the idea of buying a cow to use as a substitute. A cow to pull a carriage was at least 5 taels of silver, and a better cow was even more expensive. She couldn't afford to buy it, she couldn't even afford to sell wolf meat for the money to trade for a cow.

When she arrived at the grocery store last time, the waiter saw Ning Yan and welcomed him with a smile.

As he approached Ning Yan, he noticed a strange smell coming from the basket on Ning Yan's back.

The little guy immediately held his breath, not letting Ning Yan find out about his abnormality. He opened the door to do business for the sake of money, so no matter what she did, not to mention the salty smell, even if it was a basket of cow dung, he would still greet her with a smile.

Ning Yan put down the basket on her back and walked inside. She picked out twenty kilograms of rice and wrapped them with a small bag of fennel, star anise and pepper seeds.

"Are there any vegetable seeds?"

"Yes, yes." The waiter brought Ning Yan into the general store. Due to the arrangement, the lighting inside wasn't very good.

Ning Yan had to adapt for a while before she could see anything clearly under this kind of light. There were a few burlap sacks on the wooden shelf, and inside the sacks were all sorts of melon seeds.

On the bag was a piece of paper with the names of the seeds written on it. There were cucumbers, lentils, eggplants, cabbages, radishes, shepherds …

"These are all seeds that have been left behind this year. There won't be any problems without sprouting."

"Mm …" Ning Yan who was not a professional farmer could not understand what kind of climate these seeds were suitable for, so she wrapped them up a little.

After pulling out a few feet of gray linen, Ning Yan saw that there were a thousand layers on the shelf. Ning Yan took a few pairs, some of hers, some that were suitable for Lu Da.

Looking at the male shoes in her hands, Ning Yan felt that she really was a good person.

Otherwise, who else would care about a man's life and death, much less come out to buy shoes?

"Tsk …" If people in the village knew that she had bought men's shoes outside, they would definitely think that she had hidden her men and sacrificed herself greatly.

The servant looked at the items that Ning Yan had bought, and then pulled up the abacus in his hand: "After touching the items, a total of three taels of silver."

"Here." Ning Yan quickly paid the bill, but did not change the price. Although Ning Yan knew it was hard to earn money, but she did not like to bargain at all. After haggling for a while, the remaining money was not enough to make things troublesome, it was simply a waste of time.

The waiter wrapped up the things Ning Yan bought and placed them in the basket behind Ning Yan. "Lady Ning, come again next time!"

Ning Yan waved her hand and replied as she turned and walked back into the village.

Feeling the weight from the basket, Ning Yan thought to herself that she would have to argue with Lu Da when she returned. After saving his life, she would have to pay a price for her new clothes and shoes.

Hmm, Lu Da can write, his blood and Qi is extremely strong and his body is full of injuries, he must be a practitioner too.

was very interested in the martial arts of this era. He did not even know if the legendary Inner Qing Gong really existed, if it existed at all … Who didn't have a dream of travelling in the martial arts world and being loyal to someone's family when they were young?

Walking out of the grocery store's small path, Ning Yan saw Mrs. Liang once again.

Mrs. Liang had a pink silk flower on her head.

"It's Ning Yan, what did you buy this time, we are family, why didn't you come over to Sister-in-law's place, did you not like Sister-in-law's things?"

The saw that Ning Yan's basket was filled to the brim, her face contorted from anger. There really was nothing good about Ning Family, I just knew I had to ask for money from my man, the small one would usually put on an act, and the impudent older female cousin did the same, buying things did not come from home.

The last time she went to the grocery store across the street, she could hear the waiter flaunting his skills. Ning Yan had bought quite a few things there.

"Hm, I don't think so." Ning Yan's face carried incomparable seriousness.

"You …"

Seeing that the Mrs. Liang was about to curse him again, Ning Yan took a step and left.

Mrs. Liang was choked with sobs, but the boy just walked out, saying that a rich man from his shop came to buy something …

Mrs. Liang stomped her feet in anger, but there was nothing she could do. If others did not come in to buy, would she be able to force themselves to sell?

As Ning Yan walked back to the village, she saw the delicate Mrs. Xu. Mrs. Xu had become as thin as a bolt of lightning, and when a gust of wind blew by, Ning Yan was worried that she would be blown away.

"Money loser, jinx, why don't you just die?"

Walking past the Mrs. Xu, Ning Yan heard the curse of the Mrs. Xu, and met her eyes with the malicious gaze of the Mrs. Xu. Even though she had experienced a bloody storm, Ning Yan still felt goosebumps all over her body.

"..." Was this really his mother?

If not for the fact that her body looked similar to Mrs. Xu, Ning Yan would have suspected that she was not from Mrs. Xu.

"It doesn't matter if you don't like me, I don't need it either. As for why don't I go and die? Won't you be happy when I die? If I can make you unhappy, then I'll be happy. "

Ning Yan whispered into the ears of the Mrs. Xu, and upon seeing the Mrs. Xu trembling in anger, she continued to walk home.

As for how bad Mrs. Xu's mood was, Ning Yan did not care. If Mrs. Xu did not cause trouble, she would not have said those words, the current Mrs. Xu was simply a lunatic, she did not know if there was a problem with her brain, after suffering so many losses under her hands yet still did not teach her a lesson, she still felt that it was very easy to bully her.

Returning home, and hearing Ning's laughter, Ning Yan's suppressed mood finally improved a lot.

"Hmm, what smell is this?" She leaned close to Ning Yan and covered her nose with her hands because of the smell coming from the basket.

"Squid. It's very delicious. I'll cook a grilled squid for you to eat later."

"Ning Yu's eyebrows knitted together. Such an unpleasant smell, is it actually edible?" Can you not eat it? "

"Sure." Knowing that the taste of the roasted squid was beautiful, Ning Yan nodded her head in satisfaction.

"Then I won't eat this. It's slippery, yet with so many legs that's even uglier than a snake …" The more he looked at the squid in the basket, the more obvious the disgust in his eyes became.

"Heh, yet another one who can judge a person by his appearance …"

"…" Ning on the other hand, didn't dare to say anything. He had a nagging feeling that whatever he said at this moment would be wrong.
