The Pastoral Life of a Reborn Farmer

The town is very lively, and there are endless calls from vendors setting up stalls on the street to attract customers, but Shen Ling and Han Shi are both dressed in rags, and they are helping each other. They look similar to beggars on the street, but there are no people there. greet them.

Han Shi got used to it, and Shen Ling was already prepared, so neither of them felt anything.Shen Ling walked slowly, pretending to be sick, and carefully looked at everything around him. Food, cloth, eggs, and even crops grown by himself in the countryside, all kinds of gadgets, there are people buying and selling, maybe because the weather is cold, they come out to buy and sell Most of the dishes here are cabbage or radishes, which are easy to preserve. Shen Ling knows that farmers usually have their own cellars, which can store this kind of vegetables, so there are still some for sale on the street at the moment, while other vegetables are basically sun-dried. Dried vegetables and the like.

As for food, bags of rice, wheat, cornmeal are placed on the stalls, and when someone buys it, they will fill it with other empty bags next to it. Of course, if you buy more, the bags will be free, otherwise you still have to pay a penny.

There are also stalls selling gadgets, selling some handicrafts, such as nets woven by women, as well as embroidery such as purses, handkerchiefs, etc. There are also various bamboo baskets and dustpans and other agricultural household items for sale. thing.

Shen Ling looked around and observed the prices all the way, and with a little sense of proportion in his heart, he focused on the things he wanted to buy, "Little Stone, can you sew clothes?" Although Shen Ling didn't How hard and simple he planned to save, but he still tried his best not to waste what he could. If Xiaoshi could sew clothes, he could buy cloth and cotton and make them himself, which was cheaper than buying ready-made clothes.

Looking at the weather, it is definitely not early spring, but early winter. The cold weather is still to come. Clothes must come first in basic necessities of life.

Before the apocalypse, he didn’t have much idea about winter. He only spent a short time outside. When he entered the house, he would have heating and air conditioning whether he was going home or at work. He usually cared about dry skin and bloated clothes at most. But it was only at the end of the world that he really understood what is meant by biting cold wind and severe winter.There is no nearly completely closed house, no heating and air-conditioning, no thick padded jacket that wraps oneself into a ball to block the wind, and all the places where the skin is exposed seem to be scratched by a knife. One winter, the skin is cracked and peeled, revealing the blood-red flesh. Without any medicine, when the cold wind blows, the skin becomes dry, cracked and peeled layer by layer, and the blood is not finished until the winter is over, the wound will gradually improve, and eventually ugly frost scars will appear.

The winter in the last days is everyone's nightmare.

The ancient winter was probably not much better than the last days.

Han Shi raised his head and looked at Shen Ling with his mouth slightly open. He seemed to be confused by Shen Ling's question. After he reacted, his face flushed suddenly, his eyes panicked, and he quickly lowered his head.

Shen Ling was puzzled, why did he provoke the child?Hmm... He thought it over clearly. Physical age is not the main criterion for judging size. Mental age is. In terms of mental age, he is simply a weirdo in front of children. He would rather be a weirdo than a 15-year-old. year old kid.

"What's wrong?" Shen Ling asked.

"I...I don't know..." His brother had never entrusted him with mending work before, and his sister-in-law was doing all the light work at home, and he could only sew a patch at most.Han Shi felt that it was useless for him to say that. How could any daughter-in-law know how to do needlework, even Shuang'er, so she hurriedly added, "I know a little bit, just a little bit of sewing."

Han Shi's voice is getting smaller and smaller, which is probably the reason why no one proposes marriage to him all this time!So what if you can do farm work and work hard to chop firewood and fetch water?Can't make clothes or quilts, cooks bad food, and is not good at giving birth, who wants him?

Seeing that Han Shi looked worried and panicked again, Shen Ling reached out and touched Han Shi's head, "It's okay, I don't know how, and I can only mend a little, then let's go buy ready-made clothes."

Han Shi didn't dare to answer, men don't need to know how to sew!He didn't feel comforted at all, but he could tell that Shen Ling was comforting him. For a moment, his heart was sour and happy, and he silently made up his mind that he must start sewing in the future.

Shen Ling found a clothing store and asked Han Shi to walk in with his help. He was almost kicked out by the store before entering the door, and Shen Ling was not angry. He knew that he was indeed dressed like someone who had money to buy clothes. He had a good temper. With a smile, "Brother, we are here to buy clothes, how can you blow the customers out?"

"Are you rich?" The man frowned. He also came from a poor family, so he knew that people wearing this kind of clothes couldn't possibly be rich.

"Of course, if there are suitable clothes, we will pay for them. If you insist on letting us leave, then we have nothing to say. This town is so big, we can always find other shops willing to do our business."

The owner of the store pretended he hadn’t heard it and let the waiters bully him. Now that Shen Ling said that, he felt that mosquito legs are still meat, even if they don’t buy them. It's also the guy who wipes it. How can he drive out the customers who might buy clothes?He raised his head and looked at the buddy with a cold face, "What are you doing? How can you blow the guests out, don't you want to do it?!" After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and continued to settle accounts, and did not apologize to Shen Ling and the other two. The smiling face meant that he also felt that it was impossible for such two people to buy many things.

The guy shrank his head from being scolded, looked at the two, and waved his hand to signal them to come in, "What do you want to buy?"

"Winter clothes, four clothes, two of us, one and two clothes, it should be thick, the fabric doesn't need to be too good, just durable." Shen Ling said the request with a smile, he is not a big customer, and he didn't plan to spend much, so I didn't intend to play any tricks.

The man raised his eyes and looked at the two of them in surprise. He looked very poor, and he was willing to spend money. Who would buy four sets of winter clothes at once in an ordinary farm?Not even the cheapest!Thinking of this, the buddy looked better.

The boss sells clothes with a commission, so that the guys have the motivation to work. Although they pay less, less is still money!If these two people really bought four sets of winter clothes, then he could at least get a commission of about ten cents, which would be enough for him to eat for a day.

"Two wait a moment." Thinking of this, the waiter automatically put on a smile, and the boss in front of the counter couldn't help but look up at the two of them. Although it's not as good as a big family's casual shot, but in this kind of rural place, it's also possible. He was a relatively expensive guest, but luckily he didn't really rush out.

The clerk quickly took out five or six sets of winter clothes, all of which were made by the country women who were acquainted with them in the shop. Gotta get dressed no.

"Look, how about these sets? We don't have many styles of clothes here, and we can change the cloth and color at most, but the quality is absolutely good. The new cotton and cloth produced this year are still very soft and soft. The new cloth is only available in our store, and the lining in other stores is definitely not as soft as ours, and the price is about the same, take a look." The clerk quickly placed several sets of clothes on the counter, The boss took the initiative to move around with the ledger in his arms, but he didn't intend to start a conversation with Shen Ling, and continued to do his own thing.

Shen Ling took out a set and compared it to Han Shi. Han Shi blushed, stood upright, and tensed his body.Although the navy blue homespun is still not good-looking, it is already a very suitable color for young people compared to dark colors such as black, gray and black gray. Moreover, Han Shi is still a bit white, which matches the brighter colors. It's a pity that the cloth here is all dark, and this kind of cloth looks better.

Shen Ling picked another set of blue-gray ones for Han Shi, got enough for him to make two sets, and picked two sets for himself. After trying the right size, he decided to buy it. The buddy saw that it was so easy to make it. After making four orders, he immediately smiled, "Then I'll wrap it up for you? It's 420 texts in total, you see?"

"Well, do you have quilts here?" Shen Ling asked again.

Han Shi pulled Shen Ling's arm, blushed and whispered, "I'll make the quilt!" The quilt is easier to make than the clothes, so he should be able to make it. It shouldn't be a big problem!

"It's okay." Shen Ling ignored Han Shi's words. He felt that if Han Shi didn't know how to sew, he would definitely not be able to do this well. At that time, there would be a piece of cotton here and a piece of cotton missing there, and the quilt would be so crooked that it couldn't be covered, so he might as well buy it.

"Of course there is!" The guy became even happier, "Is it for home use? Is it for business or for daily use?" The quilts for weddings and funerals are different from those for ordinary households.

"Common use." Shen Ling said.

"Okay, I'll get it for you. Sit down and wait." The clerk briskly ran to the place where the quilts were placed and hugged a stack. The quilts were piled higher than his head and piled up on the counter, "Mr. , take a look."

Shen Ling picked out two large quilts of about [-] Wen, and said, "How much is it in total?"

"A total of 840 five pieces." The guy became more and more happy.

"You don't even get a discount if you buy so much? Eight hundred cash!"

"This..." The guy was a little confused, this discount is a bit big!

"Shopkeeper, we had no grievances just now, you drove us away once, but we still came in to do your business, and didn't go to other shops, you see..." Shen Ling turned to the boss with a smile and said.

The store owner just put down the ledger in his hand, his eyes were a little unsteady, but his expression was still steady. He had never seen a single purchase in this year, and he spent nearly a tael of silver in less than a quarter of an hour. It’s not as good as big families who buy dozens of taels a time, but their shops are mainly engaged in the business of ordinary people, and it’s really rare to see such a big business.

The shop owner bowed his hands to Shen Ling, "Brother, I offended you just now, the guy doesn't know how to see gold and jade, I'm here to apologize to you."

"Don't dare, I'm just an ordinary person. It's just that I lack a lot of things at home, so I bought so much at once. Please give me a little discount from the store!" Shen Ling became more humble.
