Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

"Xiao Zhao, you have a very good tongue..." Brother Zhao's eyes flashed under his glasses. He heard the surprise in Zhao Yeqing's tone and confirmed his previous assumption.

"Actually, you are not from the nearby mountains, right? It should be said that you don't live in the mountains, right?"

Zhao Yeqing didn't know which word he used to make people know that they were not from the neighborhood.

She looked at Mu Xi. Mu Xi recalled that he had not mentioned anything about his home address in the market last time and did not answer directly: "Brother Zhao, why do you ask that?"

Brother Zhao took a sip of noodle soup, and when he put the bowl down, the bottom of the bowl had already reached the bottom. "Xiao Mu brought wool with him last time. You also have butter this time. In fact, even if it is not the butter this time, "As for the wool that Xiao Mu brought last time, I can tell that if there were no pastures for grazing, we would never be able to grow such bright wool."

They are not official people and do not know their identities and addresses. Even if they guess that they have a lot of sheep, they can only guess that they have a private ranch that was opened before the earthquake.

Mu Xi put down the chopsticks in his hand, the smile on his lips did not diminish, and said: "What does Brother Zhao want to change?"

"I want two sheep, a male and a female."

Zhao Yeqing kept using her chopsticks. This noodle had enough seasoning. The oil and the sweetness of the MSG made the ordinary-looking noodle soup extremely delicious. She tasted the noodle soup carefully, and it seemed that it was still a big bone soup base.

The two people across from each other were eating noodles, and neither of them answered a word. The room suddenly became very quiet, with the only sound of Zhao Yeqing eating noodles.

Brother Zhao pushed up his glasses, "I rented a small warehouse, which contains the remaining goods from my store before the earthquake. I can go and take a look later before making a decision."

Zhao Yeqing burped and put down his chopsticks: "Let's go, go now."

Before the earthquake, large warehouses for storing goods were all located near the industrial park. However, the original industrial park has now fallen into the abyss, resulting in an extreme shortage of many necessary supplies in the city.

In the early days, the entire town's supplies had to be collected and basically registered, and the unused ones would eventually be returned to their original owners.

The ones in Brother Zhao's warehouse were returned after being requisitioned before.

The warehouse is not far away, in the underground garage downstairs of the community.

The rolling shutter door was opened, and the neatly stacked things inside were revealed to the two of them.

The small warehouse of fifty square meters is almost full of piles. The warehouse is not big, but the goods are actually not small.

"Look at this. I noticed it when Brother Mu came over last time. You can definitely use it." Brother Zhao walked to the back of a shelf and took out the box at the bottom. What he said.

A machine consisting of two metal rollers assembled with a wooden casing.

The two of them didn't see what it was for a while, and Brother Zhao was also stunned: "You don't recognize this?"

It was probably a little different from what he expected. It turned out that he thought that these two people were specialized in breeding before. Even if the wool they brought had not been processed, they might just be selling it because they were too lazy to do it. Unexpectedly, these two people actually I don't even know this thing.

Zhao Yeqing vaguely guessed: "Is this someone carding wool?"

Brother Zhao didn't pry anymore. Anyway, what he wanted to exchange had already been revealed, as long as it could facilitate the transaction: "Yes, before the wool can be spun, it must be carefully combed with this thing before it can be twisted into strands. ”

(Pictures here)

No wonder the wool she made earlier couldn't be twisted into a single thread and was in a mess.

Yuan also knew that something was used to comb the wool, but the information in the books and notes of the original owner of the meadow house was limited, and they only mentioned using a large row of steel combs to comb the wool.

Since she didn't have that tool at home, she once used a wider air cushion comb to comb her hair, but gave up with little success.

After seeing what this was for, Zhao Yeqing roughly understood how to use it.

"It can not only card wool, but also cotton wadding... I'm not afraid to tell you, wasn't last year colder than the year before? The price of cotton is not high."

You don't need to think about them carefully to know that the previous two winters were warm, and people who thought the climate would finally get better had just let down their guard. Last year, the temperature suddenly dropped, and the original fear of extreme cold resurfaced.

When there was an epidemic before the earthquake, there were countless incidents of people hoarding food and buying certain drugs in large quantities based on rumors. Herd mentality would turn into panic-creating turmoil when faced with personal safety issues.

Brother Zhao said bluntly: "I don't know what the temperature will be like this winter. If you had come a few months earlier, I told you so, you would still have had time to plant cotton in the spring. I'm afraid it will be difficult to plant now, but you can use this machine Take it back, you can use this year's wool, and you can plant cotton next spring."

What a coincidence, it actually happened.

Zhao Yeqing didn't tell him, but just nodded and took the carding machine: "Then we want this, is there anything else?"

There was no way such a small thing could replace the two sheep in her hand.

"You can take a look at the rest in this warehouse. If you find anything suitable, we can discuss it. If you really can't find anything suitable, I can also exchange it with money."

Zhao Yeqing nodded, and the two looked at each other and then separated to search for suitable items in the warehouse.

It was like going to the supermarket after a long absence. Although many of the goods were not laid out and were stored in boxes on the floor, she still took the trouble to open them one by one and select them.

As soon as there was a large long box opened, the contents inside immediately caught Zhao Yeqing's attention.

Brother Zhao hurriedly stepped forward: "Sister, this thing is for my own use, so I won't change it, right?"

Inside the box was a complete set of fishing tools. Zhao Yeqing didn't know much about this. Mu Xi walked over and took a look and knew that this thing wasn't cheap. The reel alone cost several thousand yuan.

"Brother Zhao, we have two living sheep."

Brother Zhao had a look of pain on his face, but Zhao Yeqing was so insistent that he had no choice but to compromise in the end.

But just wanting to exchange two sheep is not that simple.

“We also want four off-road tires, preferably Centipede tires.”

Centipede tires are also called rainforest tires. They are most suitable for extreme terrains. The terrain of meadows is not that complicated, but just in case, you have to get the best.

Brother Zhao didn't expect that they still had such demanding demands, so he immediately lost his temper: "Brother and you have a heart-to-heart relationship, and you are playing tricks with me. You are not being kind."

The two of them refused to accept this, and Mu Xi said bluntly: "Brother Zhao, your fishing rod is second-hand, it doesn't matter, but you said it yourself, the things in this warehouse were all returned to you by the official ..."

It's self-evident what this means, Brother Zhao's face froze.
