Chapter 38 The Hope of Not Starving

Grandma hugged Gu Shun to the central square where the gypsies were stationed.

From a distance, Gu Shun could see many tents of different styles in the blurred vision filled with fog.

Countless people from downtown gathered towards the center of the city from all directions.

When Gu Shun and the others arrived at the entrance of the square, they were already swallowed up by the crowded sea of ​​people.

Grandma hugged Gu Shun tightly, for fear that her baby grandson would be stolen by the thieves and human traffickers who were mixed in the crowd.

The Gypsies were a wandering nation on the mainland. They had no place to live and relied on buying and selling around and selling their skills.

In the eyes of the world, they are shrewd and stupid, generous and narrow-minded, and knowledgeable, just like minstrels who know many secrets that people do not know.

"Shunshun, let's go over there to see the artists."

Grandma listened to the accordion music and singing and dancing coming from the front, and felt that her Gu Shun must have liked these things.

Gu Shun was not interested in performance.

He looked around and pointed to the trading area in the distance and said, "Grandma, go there."

Although grandma was a little surprised, she still took Gu Shun to the place where the gypsy merchants traded.

I saw the stalls filled with all kinds of strange gadgets and mechanical tools.

[Sl-5 mechanical shell, discarded and reinstalled version of the intelligent robot, identified as garbage]

[Reinstalling wrench, special tool for replacing the rear ejector of the speed vehicle, welded after breaking, identified as garbage]

[Pear 126th generation mobile phone, pirated assembled, produced by Lan Qiang, identified as garbage]

...

Gu Shun was surprised to find that whenever his eyes swept over the things placed on the stall, the introduction and attributes of these items would appear.

But without exception, it is garbage.

This should be the scavenger talent I just obtained. As the name suggests, I can only identify garbage.

Among the crowds who were joining in the fun in front of the stall, Gu Shun also found a familiar figure.

It was the old man Wang who lived next door. He was squatting in front of the Pear brand mobile phone and looking carefully, probably because he wanted to buy it.

"Grandma, let's go to other stalls to have a look."

Gu Shun couldn't get any interest in these garbage.

But Gu Shun understands whether it is the developed Shangcheng introduced by the madman Qiao or the strange and lewd mechanical creations brought by these gypsies.

In this world, places like Lower City are too backward. If he wants to get a higher rating in the final evaluation of the Sims, he must leave the small place of Lower City.

This is also the goal that Gu Shun needs to work hard for the next step.

But at present, this goal is still too far away. Now I should fill my stomach first and let myself live a better life with my grandma.

"Okay, okay, my smooth flow."

Grandma hugged Gu Shun and continued walking forward, passing by stalls selling strange goods.

Gu Shun's eyes swept away the goods on these stalls one by one. The scavenger's talent was activated, and some of the attributes of them would be given from time to time.

Occasionally there were a few things he was interested in, but the price was too expensive and he gave up his thoughts.

Suddenly, Gu Shun's eyes stopped at a flower stall.

"What's wrong, Shunshun?"

"Let's go to that stall to have a look."

Grandma was a little strange. Does her grandson like flowers?

She took Gu Shun to the stall very obediently.

People in the city can't even fill their stomachs, so naturally no one is bored and spends money to buy flowers that cannot be eaten or used.

When the stall owner saw that a few customers had finally arrived at his stall, he enthusiastically introduced him:

"Look at it casually, Phalaenopsis, Rose, Succulent, and chrysanthemums, affordable prices, and it is best to decorate your little home."

A man from downtown heard the succulent and his eyes shone:

"Can you eat the meat you mentioned? I haven't smelled the meat in a long time."

The boss was also a little confused by this question. What era is this? People here don’t even know how succulent they are.

"Probably, everyone calls it this name anyway." The boss lied halfway.

"That's great, how much does it cost if I buy a basin?"

"200 copper spear."

"It's so expensive, you can buy a pound of meat for 200 copper ges."

When the downtown man heard the price, he immediately stepped down.

The boss quickly said, "You can only eat one meal of meat you buy. Look at this succulent, it can keep growing new leaves from the middle. If each leaf is meat, won't you have enough meat?"

"You're right. I bought it. Now I can't finish eating meat."

The man downtown paid happily, thinking that he had made a big advantage.

I didn’t expect that I could really buy meat that is growing continuously, and now I can finally eat meat every time.

He had already started to fantasize about his family improving his life, and his wife kept praising him as a real man.

After the customer left satisfied, the onlookers also scrambled to pay for the succulents.

"This is the flesh that will grow by itself, and the opportunity is once a lifetime."

"Buy it quickly, buy it quickly, I want a basin."

"I want two basins."

"There is really such a good thing. If you don't buy it, you won't be able to buy it. Let's buy a pot as well."

Grandma was also a little moved when she saw those people’s crazy buying. She said to Gu Shun:

"Shunshun, should we sell pots of meat too, so that my good grandson will have meat to eat."

Gu Shunze quickly shook his head, fearing that his grandmother would be deceived.

I can only say that these gypsies are really good at doing business, and the people in the city are really extremely ignorant.

They don’t know that not only succulents are inedible, but most of them are poisonous, and they have nothing to do with meat.

But for many people in the downtown area who have never seen the world, succulent may really be meat.

Gu Shun turned his attention to other flowers and plants placed on this stall.

Soon his eyes were fixed on an inconspicuous green leafy plant.

[Potato, also known as potato or potato, is a plant in the Solanaceae family. It has a short growth period and abundant yield. However, this potato is dying after long-distance transportation and is identified as garbage]

Just now when Gu Shun glanced at this potato from afar, he felt as if he had discovered a new continent and was very happy.

Potatoes are an important food crop. They are not only high-yield, but also strong, drought-resistant and flood-resistant, and can adapt to many harsh environments.

The most important thing is that compared with the wheat commonly grown in Lower Town, potatoes can produce more starch in a year. As long as you take care of it carefully, it is absolutely no problem to cook two or even three a year.

The food problem that troubled Gu Shun finally saw the dawn of solving it.

He had to get this potato seedling.

In the eyes of others, this may be a weed.

But in Gu Shun's eyes, it is definitely a golden grass and silver grass.

"Grandma, I want that."

Gu Shun immediately pointed to the wilted potato seedlings in the small pot.

"You want this? What's the best thing about a grass? Grandma will buy you a pot of flowers."

"I don't want to spend it, I want this."

Seeing that Gu Shun insisted on buying it, grandma had to ask about the price of this pot of potato seedlings.

Perhaps seeing that the potato seedlings were almost wilted, the stall owner only symbolically collected 5 copper spears and sold the pot of potato seedlings to Gu Shun.

Gu Shun held this pot of potato seedlings and felt like he was a treasure. In the future, he would finally have endless potatoes to eat.

Grandma shook her head, "This silly child, what's so rare about a grass?"

After leaving the stall, grandma hugged Gu Shun and continued to wander around the market that the gypsy temporarily set up.

Gu Shun now just wants to go home and plant this precious potato seedling. If he really dies, he will be in tears.

At this moment, a gypsy woman wearing a veil suddenly appeared in front of her grandparents and said:

"My grandma, do you want to give your grandson a divination? My divination is very accurate."

As a person who received education in the new century and studied science in his previous life, Gu Shun was disdainful of superstitious things like divination.

But the words of this gypsy woman surprised him slightly.
