Farmer sister: Escape from wilderness and farm with Lingquan space

"Why do you ask?"

The young man glanced at Qiao Ran warily and relaxed his vigilance when he saw that she was just a little girl who had not yet had haircuts.

The little girl is dark and ugly, and her body is small and flat. Although I don't know why those refugees sent such a little girl to follow those men into the town to buy things.

But the young man also had a younger sister at home, so he softened his tone.

He said with some pride: "The lychees and melons produced in our town are the most delicious in Dai Viet! Many businessmen from other places passed by us and ate our food. After honeydew melons and lychees, they will come back to buy them and sell them to other places.”

When Qiao Ran heard this, her eyes lit up.

litchi? Honeydew melon? Are they the two delicious fruits she was thinking of?

Qiao Ran was a southerner in her previous life and liked to eat fruits the most.

A variety of fruits, especially lychees and cantaloupe, which are sweeter than honey.

But she didn't expect that in this ancient time, in this humble town, there would be these two things.

She blinked, looked at the young man with a confused and curious look, and asked:

"What do your lychees and melons look like? They are the most delicious in Dai Viet. Are you bragging? I have never heard of your town before. If the lychees and melons here are so delicious, Why isn’t your reputation heard outside?”

The young man was a little annoyed when he heard someone questioning the most proud specialty of their town.

After looking at the little girl's clothes, which were relatively neat compared to other refugees, he snorted.

He said disdainfully: "What's the point of telling you? Can you afford it? Our lychees cost 80 cents per catty and honeydew melons cost 40 cents per catty. Do you have enough money to buy one catty?"

It's not that he looks down on this little girl, it's just that looking at the dusty and disgraced appearance of this group of people, they must have been on the road for several months.

The average farmer's family doesn't have much food or money at home. After traveling for several months on the road, the whole family doesn't know how much money it will cost just to eat and drink.

It was good that they could afford some low-quality rice now. He didn't believe that this little girl would be willing to spend money to buy lychees or honeydew melons!

Seeing that he looked down on her, Qiao Ran was not angry. She just turned her palm over and quietly showed her palm to the young man.

When the young man took a look and saw that there was a five-tael silver ingot in the palm of her hand, he was speechless for a moment.

Five taels!

Even though every household in their small town grows lychees and honeydew melons for sale, and compared to ordinary farmers, their lives are already relatively good, but he, a young man who is about to reach his prime age, does not have five taels of silver!

Qiao Ran came closer and said softly to the young man: "To tell you the truth, I know some medical skills and saved a noble man on the road. He gave me some money as a reward. What do you think? Do you think I can afford it here? Lychee and honeydew melon?”

The young man nodded mechanically: "Yes, of course! How much do you want to buy?"

Qiao Ran whispered: "I will be separated from the others later. You take me to your house. I will take a look at your lychees and honeydew melons. I will see if they taste good and then decide how much to buy."

When the young man heard that he wanted to buy his own lychees and honeydew melons, he immediately woke up.

After looking around, he whispered to her: "Okay, I will take you to my house later."

At this time, the group of them had arrived at the door of a grain store.

The town is not big, and there is only one grain store in the town.

Qiao Erhe and the others separated at the entrance of the grain store. Two of them went in to buy grain, while the others went out to buy other things that everyone wanted.

Qiao Ran spoke to her second uncle and walked out, and the young man followed her out.

Seeing someone staring at Qiao Ran and seeing that she was just a little girl, the others did not follow her.

On the way, the young man introduced himself and said his name was Amu. He also had a father, mother, two younger brothers and a younger sister at home. The family cultivated more than 100 acres of mountain land, including lychees and honeydew melons.

Moreover, his father was particularly good at handling these lychees and honeydew melons. The quality of the lychees and honeydew melons grown by his family were among the best in the entire town.

Qiao Ran followed Amu to a wooden house not far from the grain store.

Amu's home does not face the street, but is on the side close to the mountain.

Because such a large group of refugees came to the village, the mayor urgently called back all the residents of the town who were working in the mountains.

Amu's parents and siblings were all at home. When she saw that he had brought a strange girl back, Amu's mother kept staring at Qiao Ran, as if she was sizing up her future daughter-in-law.

However, there was sympathy in his eyes, and there seemed to be some other emotions.

Qiao Ran felt that the aunt's posture was like looking at the mouth of an animal, and this look really made her very uncomfortable.

Amu introduced to the family: "Dad, Aniang, this Miss Qiao wants to come and see our lychees and honeydew melons."

Upon hearing that this girl was here to see the lychees and honeydew melons, the aunt stopped looking at them.

Amu's father is a peasant man with a beard and a white cloth on his head.

He was sitting on a low stool near the door, smoking a dry cigarette. When he heard his eldest son's words, he raised his head and glanced briefly at the little girl his son had brought.

I saw that she was dressed in shabby clothes, dark and thin, much uglier than my own daughter.

The man's expression remained unchanged, he knocked the long dry tobacco pole on the threshold, and at the same time told his mother-in-law: "Go and get a handful of lychees and a honeydew melon, give it to this girl to try!"

His mother-in-law responded quickly, turned around, went into the back room, and came out after a while.

She was holding several bunches of red fruits in her left hand, and a melon with dense lines on its surface that was much larger than an adult man's palm in her right hand.

Qiao Ran was immediately happy when she saw it.

Aren’t these my favorite lychees and cantaloupe?

I just don’t know, are the lychees and cantaloupe grown here really as sweet as the ones I ate in my previous life?

Amu's mother put the handful of lychees directly into Qiao Ran's hand, picked one herself, and showed Qiao Ran how to eat it.

I saw her using her fingernails at the middle line on the top of the lychee and breaking it to both sides. The shell of the lychee was broken into two halves, revealing the white, watery pulp inside.

She lowered her head again and bit off the white flesh, leaving the brown core.

Amu explained in time: "Look, this is how you eat lychees. You can't eat the core. You can only eat the white flesh. Try it. It's very sweet, sweeter than honey. It's delicious!"

Qiao Ran smiled gratefully. She had eaten a lot of lychees in her previous life, so she knew how to eat them.
