Reborn in the red years, I am farming in space

Chapter 6 Frog Market
this evening.

From around 9:[-] p.m., Luo Xuan kept grabbing from one paddy field to another without stopping.

It wasn't until Luo Xuan felt that it was almost midnight that he returned to the breeding room to rest for a while.

After feeding the old sow and sending Xiaocao home, Luo Xuan came out again to catch eels.

Luo Xuan didn't stop until about 3:[-] in the morning.

In this period, others rarely come out to catch eels.

Firstly, the seedlings are too deep. If you step on the seedlings, you will be blamed by the whole production team.

Secondly, it is difficult to catch the rice field eels now, and there are too many aquatic plants in the fields, it is difficult to see the rice field eels clearly.

Even if someone comes out to catch eels, he will go home after 1.2 hours at most.

Adults need to go to work during the day, but they can't come out at night.The little brat's physical strength and the technique of catching eels are not enough.

These people usually don't come out to do this.

And a half-sized guy like Luo Xuan is the main force in catching eels.

But the physical strength of most half-sized children cannot withstand the consumption of catching eels in the rice fields for a long time.

Take a break.

With the help of the faint moonlight, Luo Xuan hurried towards the location of Hongxing Township in the dark.

This time the "Frog City" is located in the small forest behind the grain station in Hongxing Township.

"Frog City" refers to a temporary market where farmers, urban residents, and workers conduct transactions in private.

The reason why it is called the frog market is precisely because it is not fixed, and the market opens in different places from time to time, just like a frog jumping around, changing places with one shot.

During this period, all the land owned by farmers’ families was invested in cooperatives, and everyone worked together and helped each other.

Finally, the food is divided according to the amount of each contribution and the share of the shares.

Since all large animals are shared, no family has any large animals.

But farmers can still raise some chickens, ducks and geese in their own yards, and plant a little bit of vegetables and fruits in the corners.

After all, in rural areas, schooling and medical treatment still cost a little money at this period. Only after the establishment of the commune two years later, schooling will be completely free.

Moreover, buying pencils, notebooks, salt and kerosene is not a small expense for rural people.

Selling eggs for salt money is a mantra that people often talk about.

The saying "chicken and butt is the passbook of farmers" is quite representative in rural areas.

"Frog City" dispersed very early.

When the sky is bright, everyone dare not continue to trade in the market.

On the 7-mile road, Luo Xuan stopped and stopped, and walked for nearly an hour before arriving at the small forest behind the warehouse of the grain station.

When he arrived at the place, Luo Xuan realized that he had come, maybe it was too early!

At this time the sky is not bright yet.

Several fires were lit at the edge of the woods, like "organic fertilizers" common in rural areas, and the fires were extremely weak, just like littering garbage with a dark fire.

In the haze, there were a few sparse figures in the woods, standing there quietly.

Basically no one is walking around.

Luo Xuan didn't quite understand the trading rules here, but he saw some people standing facing the woods, with their hands behind their backs, none of them showing their faces, nor turning their heads to look behind them.

By careful observation.

Luo Xuan could still see some differences: Although these people were all standing with their backs to others.

But in the hands behind them, some people hold a piece of straw, while others hold a wheat straw.

Some people held a piece of bamboo strips in their hands.

Others are holding a small piece of paper in their hands, as if they were randomly torn from a child's homework.

Although he could see that the things in their hands were different, Luo Xuan still didn't understand. He really didn't understand these things. What did they represent?
Just when Luo Xuan was at a loss.

"Are you buying or selling?"

A black shadow approached Luo Xuan quietly, and whispered in Luo Xuan's ear, "If you buy, you'll see what you need, and ask directly. If you're selling, just stand aside and don't run around."

This person obviously didn't want to talk too much. When he was talking to Luo Xuan, he even omitted the usual address of "little brother".

"I sell."

Luo Xuan also lowered his voice, "Sell eels."

The man was obviously taken aback: "Eel?"

At this time, the seedlings in the rice fields are deep, and it is not easy to catch eels, and the market is when there is a shortage of eels.

"there."

In the faint morning light, the man pointed to the back standing facing a big tree: "She needs to buy rice field eels."

Luo Xuan said thank you in a low voice, then walked behind the figure and asked, "Excuse me, do you need to buy eels?"

"Ah."

His back flicked slightly, "But I have to sell what I have before I can afford to buy your eels."

Luo Xuan lowered his head and took a closer look at her hand, but it was a small white jade.

Looking at the heart-shaped shape of the white jade, it looks like a pendant taken from a pendant.

The girl's fingers are long and white, like shallots that have just been peeled.

It's a pity that I can't eat it.

What Luo Xuan looks at now, the first thing he considers is whether it can be eaten.

Sell ​​jade here?

Luo Xuan didn't know whether she could sell it or not, and he was not interested in finding out.

As soon as Luo Xuan heard that she had no money to buy his eels, Luo Xuan suddenly lost interest, and was about to turn around and leave, but the girl grabbed his shoulder again: "Is yours old?"

There were holes in the clothes on Luo Xuan's shoulders, and when the girl touched her skin, her hands were slightly cold.

Very silky.
But what she said made Luo Xuan stunned: What are these words?

I was a decent person in my previous life, and I am also a good boy in this life, but I have never received an award, and no one recognizes my excellence.

Without knowing the situation, Luo Xuan didn't dare to speak yellow accents.

A "hooliganism" can ruin the future of one's life and destroy three generations.

"Is your eel big?"

Seeing that Luo Xuan didn't respond, the girl asked Luo Xuan in a low voice: "The bigger the eel I want, the better."

"Big, big!"

Luo Xuan replied honestly: "I caught a ricefield eel that probably weighed 6.7 taels. Is it big enough?"

Eels below two taels are not very valuable.

Three taels to half a catty of eel will cost much more.

Rice field eels weighing more than half a catty are not uncommon.

"Well, I don't have the cash to buy your eels."

The girl hesitated and said, "I'm afraid it's not easy to let go of this pendant. How about this? I'll exchange the jade for your big eel."

Jade is good, but it's a pity that it's useless to use it myself.

The broad beans in the previous space grew rapidly, but Luo Xuan was not sure what caused it.

Although vaguely, Luo Xuan felt that it had something to do with that piece of jade, but he still couldn't be sure in his heart.

Luo Xuan, who was really poor and hungry, didn't have the capital to exchange this precious eel for an uncertain hope.

Luo Xuan only pays attention to what is in front of him, and only dares to believe that what he eats in his stomach is the truth.
