Li Qi took Shen Shuibi and Lao Ma into the village.
There was nothing fancy inside, it was just an ordinary village. There was only one cow in the whole village, but... Li Qi felt that it was probably no ordinary cow.
Having said that, it seems that there are no ordinary cows in this world.
Just like horses are mostly spiritual horses, cows also have their own unique features.
Li Qi knew that his ox power technique was to give himself the "power of an ox".
In other words, a cow usually has a strength of six thousand kilograms.
Just kidding, what does six thousand pounds mean?
As a researcher, Li Qi knows that in his world, one horsepower is equal to 75kg, which is one hundred and fifty kilograms. That is, if a horse can drag one hundred and fifty kilograms of something at a speed of one meter per second.
In other words, this cow has 40 horsepower, and a 40-horsepower tractor can be equipped with a carriage and pull fifteen tons of cargo easily.
During World War II, the Soviet T-37 tank only had 40 horsepower.
This cow is truly a small tank.
After entering the village, Li Qi put down his backpack and exchanged things with the villagers who came around.
Lao Ma was with Shen Shuibi, but Shen Shuibi seemed a little afraid of strangers, so she leaned on Lao Ma and tried to hide herself in the corner.
It's inexplicable...Why isn't she afraid of life when she sees him?
Oh, he seemed to be afraid too. At that time, she seemed to be frightened by him, but when they met again later, he fooled her for the first time with his words. After that, she seemed to be familiar with him and was no longer afraid.
Then I was very lucky, I didn't bump into this rabbit when it was about to recognize its own child.
The old horse stayed with her. Although he was very weak and old, as a dragon colt, it was unlikely that ordinary people who had practiced martial arts would approach him.
Li Qi went to the side to exchange goods.
The people in the village have plenty of mountain products and grain, but they are short of money. Generally, when merchants come to the village, they exchange some mountain products and then take them to shops in the city to exchange for money, and then use the money to buy goods and send them to the mountains.
Li Qi originally wanted to do this before, but it's not suitable now.
"Fellow, I don't want to exchange mountain goods. Do we have beans? I want to exchange for some beans and dried meat." Li Qi said to the villagers who came.
There are about a dozen villagers around, all carrying wild products, such as fungus, mushrooms, wild pepper, wild chestnut and so on.
"Beans, don't you all want mountain products? What do you want beans for?" A peasant woman asked doubtfully.
"We're not going to change money, we're just trying to get some food on the road!" Li Qi shouted to the people around him.
"Oh, no wonder you brought a horse and a young wife. It turns out that you are not a serious businessman. That's all right. I'll get you beans." A peasant woman packed up her mountain goods and went back to get the beans.
"My family killed some pigs and some bacon this year, but how can I change the price? Don't bother me." A farmer woman asked suspiciously, looking at Li Qi carefully.
"Don't worry, we won't let you suffer a loss! We calculate by money! I have a lot of money, you have a lot of money, we will exchange the money after we count the money correctly!" Li Qi shouted.
"Then what are you doing in exchange for beans?" asked another villager.
"The horse is sick and needs to eat something good." Li Qi explained.
"Oh my god, horses eat better than people! They are so expensive!" Another villager was speechless because he saw that there were rice cakes in the bamboo basket on Li Qi's back.
It can be seen that he himself eats rice cake, but feeds the horse beans.
Beans are not cheap, they are much more expensive than rice!
"There is no other way. The horse will run faster after eating it, but I will only be beaten after eating it!" Li Qi said a wisecrack.
The surrounding villagers were amused and laughed, and after talking with each other, they seemed to become familiar with Li Qi.
In this way, while talking with the villagers, he exchanged things, including excess salt, farm tools, cloth, spatulas, and some medicine for headaches and fever.
I exchanged a few bags of dried beans, which weighed about fifty or sixty kilograms, as well as some potatoes and sweet potatoes, just to make up for the lack of beans.
There are also some mountain goods.
There was a peasant woman who had someone in her family who was sick and was in a hurry to change the medicine, but there were no beans at home, let alone meat. She begged Li Qi to exchange it with mountain products, so Li Qi felt relieved and replaced it with a bag of mushrooms and fungus.
That man also knew how to be grateful, so he gave Li Qi a lot more. Li Qi should have made a profit, even though he couldn't use it for the time being.
But...you can eat it on the road, right? Just treat yourself better by improving your taste.
He himself can't tell the difference between mountain products, so he usually doesn't dare to pick them randomly, and no one will be responsible if he eats them to death.
Who knows, maybe that thing just looks like a mushroom?
It's better to be honest and don't be greedy for small gains and suffer big losses.
There are also some dried meats, these are big heads. These pieces of dried meat have replaced Li Qi's two hoes and a small bottle of coarse salt.
Sure enough, meat is expensive.
After changing things, the things in Li Qi's basket were also changed.
And he was not idle, but was helping the villagers pull stones.
Li Qi put away his backpack and saw it when he was about to go back.
It seems that the stones in the ground are hindering the clearing of land, but the stones are too heavy and too big. They are stuck in the ground, and even the cow cannot drag them.
A group of villagers used hemp ropes to pull, and while pulling, they used wooden sticks to pry behind, but the stone would not move at all.
When Li Qi saw this, he simply went up to give instructions.
"This is not how you pull heavy objects." He walked up and said, "Come here, put it on your shoulders, and learn my posture, so that you can use your strength more easily!"
Li Qi is an old tracker. He can pull a big boat. What does a stone mean?
With the help of him and the cow, and some trackers' chants, he called on the farmers to work together to pull the stone out of the ground.
This kind of stone is a good thing. When it is pulled out, not only does it create an extra piece of land, but it can also be broken into pieces and made into stone mills or other things. It is a very useful material.
Li Qi said goodbye and helped him along the way.
By the time he returned, it was already noon and the sun was beginning to set.
He was easy to talk to when exchanging supplies, and he also helped the villagers. Although he had only been here for half a day, he got along well with other people, and some people had already started to call him little brother.
As for the other side...
Shen Shuibihe held the old horse and huddled against the wall.
Looks like social terror.
Maybe this is the rabbit.
They both stayed here until Li Qi finished his work in the afternoon and came back with his backpack.
"Well, well! Why are you shrinking like this?" Li Qi said to the two people while holding a large backpack.
"You're finally back!" Shen Shuibi, who had been nervous, rushed out and grabbed Li Qi's sleeve: "Have you finished changing things? Then let's go!"
"Well, the things have been replaced, but why are you leaving in such a hurry?" Li Qi was very surprised.
Isn’t it possible that society will not reach this point?
"I have a hunch that something bad is going to happen!" Shen Shuibi said in a panic.
