Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

As three reminder sounds rang in his mind, Lu You's smile became brighter.

Don't tell Widow Zhou that pears are sour. Only Widow Zhou will have negative emotions towards you.

But if I give a reminder now, all three stubborn people will hate me.

This wave is a sure win!

Widow Zhou no longer refused after hearing this. She took out her handkerchief, wiped the pear, and then opened her mouth and took a bite.

Click! !

Several people looked at Widow Zhou's frowning brow.

"How is it, aunt? This pear is sour, right?" Lu You asked with a smile.

"It's sour!" Widow Zhou pursed her lips and nodded: "But it really quenches my thirst!"

Seeing Widow Zhou's conflicted look, Lu Yi and the other two all breathed a sigh of relief.

People are like this, they don’t worry about poverty but about inequality!

If I were the only one eating the sour pear, I would probably feel uncomfortable for a long time.

But since everyone eats the same thing, my mentality is balanced!

Seeing the relaxed expressions of the Qian family and the other two, Lu You took Widow Zhou's arm and spoke again.

"It seems like we are the only ones who have bad luck! What the three of them ate just now was extremely sweet!"

[Negative emotions from Qian +10, +10, +10...]

[Negative emotions from Wu Xiulian +10, +10, +10...]

[Negative emotions from Lu Yi +10, +10, +10...]

"Hmph!" Qian snorted coldly and pulled Wu Xiu Lian a few steps away, obviously not wanting to pay any more attention to Lu You.

Lu You didn't pay any attention to them, but casually pointed to a piece of bluestone that looked relatively flat not far away.

"Xiao Yi, go and move that stone over here so Auntie can sit down and rest."

Lu Yi frowned and looked at the bluestone. Seeing that it was only the size of a human head, he walked over silently.

[Negative emotions from Lu Yi +3, +3, +3...]

Following the system prompt, Lu Yi placed the bluestone next to Lu You, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke slowly.

"Second sister, this is not good!"

"Hmm?" Lu You looked at Lu Yi in confusion: "Are you talking about pears or stones?"

"Alas..." Looking at the clear eyes of his second sister, Lu Yi shook his head and sighed, then turned and walked away: "Neither is good..."

[Negative emotions from Lu Yi +5, +5, +5...]

Ignoring his great enemy brother, Lu You helped Widow Zhou sit down.

"Luyo! Look at you... this is too polite..."

Feeling that Lu You's enthusiasm was completely different from when he came by donkey cart in the morning, Widow Zhou was a little at a loss.

And this is exactly the effect Lu You wants!

How do Mayday sing?

I’m most afraid of… the air suddenly becoming quiet…

What I fear most is... the sudden concern of friends!

Resisting the urge to sing karaoke in another world, Lu You squatted beside Widow Zhou.

"Aunt, you know our family's situation. Before my father was alive, our family could only make ends meet by relying on those few acres of school land."

"Now that Mr. Qiu has taken back the school land, if the three of us siblings can't find a way to make money, I'm afraid we won't even make it through this winter!"

At this point, Lu You hesitated for a moment, then sighed as if he had made some kind of decision.

"This time we came to the city to find a way to make money, but after searching for a long time, we still found nothing."

"You are doing a great job in the egg business. There must be some tricks involved."

"I know it's a bit abrupt to ask you this, but there's really nothing I can do."

"Please take pity on us, my three siblings, as we are all alone and helpless. Please give us some advice."

"Don't worry, I'm definitely not trying to steal your business. I just want to get a feel for the market in this city."

"We don't even have chickens, so we will never touch this egg business!"

Seeing that Lu You was speaking so sincerely, Widow Zhou hurriedly grabbed Lu You's little hand.

"Why are you saying that!"

"Don't I know what kind of people you two are?"

Although she said this, Widow Zhou's expression showed a hint of hesitation.

"It's just that...if you ask me about the secret of doing business, I can't tell you."

"Every time I went to the city, I would carry eggs and sell them near the foot shop. The people there were all coolies, they didn't make much money, and they didn't have much oil to eat."

"So every time you see me selling boiled eggs, you'll buy one or two to replenish your body..."

At this point, Widow Zhou's voice gradually lowered and a smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.

However, there was a hint of evasion in his eyes, and it was obvious that he didn't want to say anything more.

That's it?

Hearing Widow Zhou's words come to an abrupt end, Lu You couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

wrong!

It's definitely wrong!

It’s obvious that Widow Zhou hasn’t finished what she said?

It is true that coolies who make a living by walking on foot usually lack nutrition.

But the money they earn is barely enough to fill their stomachs, so how can they care about nutritional balance?

Widow Zhou sells eggs for two cents each, which may not sound like much, but if converted into coarsely ground yellow rice, it can buy half a pound!

If you stew it with wild vegetables into vegetable porridge, it is enough to feed the whole family.

Who would exchange half a pound of millet for an egg?

Of course, it is possible that there are people who like this!

After all, in this strange world where material things are scarce, eggs are indeed considered a good thing.

But that is definitely the individual behavior of an individual!

And Widow Zhou brought dozens of eggs!

It's impossible that all the coolies on foot are being taken advantage of, right?

There's something going on here!

Lu You was thinking about it when he heard Qian's weird voice coming from behind.

"Luyo, stop asking!"

"Even if your Aunt Zhou teaches you how to sell eggs, you still can't learn it!"

Hearing Qian's words, Lu You and the other two turned around to look.

"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this?" Widow Zhou asked Qian in the distance.

"What do you mean?" Qian sneered, "Isn't that what I mean?"

"Do you really think... that everyone doesn't know about your method of selling eggs?"

Hearing this, Widow Zhou stood up and said, "What's wrong with the way I sell eggs? I don't steal or rob. I sell them honestly!"

"Yo yo yo! Are you still selling it honestly?"

In the distance, Qian pinched her waist and spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"Who doesn't know that you have to peel the eggs yourself when you sell them?"

"The porters are all laborers without wives. They have nowhere to use their energy. They just want a bite from you all day long!"

"Every time you go to the city, you clean up the eggs for yourself and sell a basket of eggs in half a day!"

“Who knows how you sell it?”

After hearing this, Lu You finally understood why Widow Zhou hesitated to speak.

The reason why these eggs sell so well is because of Widow Zhou herself!

She really can't learn this method!

Seeing that Widow Zhou had a gloomy face, Lu You quickly moved sideways and stood between the two of them.

After all, it was my own fault that the situation had turned out like this. If the two sides really started fighting, that would be the real sin.

But what Lu You didn't expect was that even though Widow Zhou was so angry, she still didn't take action. Instead, she showed a hint of sneer.

"Mr. Qian, you were the one who started the trouble today!"

"In that case, don't blame me for not giving you face!!"
