Quick, female general, I traveled through time to save my father

Chapter 457 Xiao 5 goes home 7

Sirong and Muchen went to the maintenance worker Mr. Li again in the evening of that day.

When Aunt Li saw them, a smile of surprise immediately appeared on her face, and her eyes lit up instantly, like a person who had been hungry for a long time and suddenly saw food, and she happily came over to greet them.

"It's just right that you're here!" Her voice was filled with obvious enthusiasm and a hint of imperceptible eagerness.

He walked quickly to them and rubbed his greasy hands.

"Originally, your uncle Li and I wanted to come look for you after closing time at night." As she said this, she subconsciously turned her head to glance deep into the store, and the smile on her lips deepened.

At lunch, Aunt Li cooked the handful of corn kernels that Muchen gave them into porridge with water in the small compartment behind the counter.

The porridge was not yet cooked, but the fresh aroma of corn was vying to come out, so rich and sweet that it covered the smell of rotten engine oil in the room.

Aunt Li was originally looking at the door of the small compartment. When she smelled the fragrance, she took a deep breath in ecstasy.

Then his face suddenly changed, showing extreme fear and panic. He was so scared that he quickly slammed the door of the small compartment with a bang and pushed it hard with his body.

After the corn porridge was cooked, the couple hid in the small compartment. They squeezed into the small space and secretly drank the whole pot of extremely watery porridge.

Aunt Li held the bowl and drank rapidly in small sips, with a long-lost, almost greedy satisfaction on her face. Old Li drank silently in big gulps, his Adam's apple moving rapidly.

"Xiao Mu," when Aunt Li faced Muchen again, the expression of enjoyment on her face had not completely faded, and her eyes were shining.

With the curiosity and aftertaste of a delicious delicacy, I asked, "What is this thing called?"

She savored it, unconsciously smacking her lips. "It's much better than the blue-veined ones we have here," she nodded vigorously, emphasizing, "Sticky and glutinous? It feels... so good, like it melts in your mouth!"

His tone was full of amazement and disbelief.

Mu Chen smiled when he heard it, with the corners of his mouth raised happily. The corn kernels that Si Rong took out from the space were the seeds of glutinous corn. If we talk about the taste alone, they must be more delicious.

"Aunt Li," Muchen said in a relaxed tone with a little pride, "We all call this corn. Have you eaten it? How do you feel about it?" He leaned forward slightly and asked with a little anticipation.

"Eat, eat!"

Aunt Li answered immediately, nodding her head like a chick pecking at rice, and the wrinkles on her face were stretched out by her smile.

His voice rose, filled with genuine excitement, "It's delicious. It's really delicious!"

She stroked her chest with one hand, as if the warm porridge was soothing her stomach. "It's been a long time since I've eaten something so delicious!"

Aunt Li sighed, her eyes seemed to penetrate the dirty environment before her, recalling the brief taste feast just now, filled with deep emotion.

The smile on Muchen's face deepened, but his eyes were clear and focused. He got straight to the point: "So what do you think this thing can be sold for?"

He raised his chin slightly, his eyes fixed on Aunt Li's reaction.

Aunt Li's eyes, sparkling with brilliance and eagerness, were fixed on Muchen's face.

Her body unconsciously leaned forward a few more: "I want to look for you, and this is why." Her speech speed quickened, revealing her strong inner desire.

"How many do you have left?" she asked, almost holding her breath.

The fingers covered with tiny cracks and oil stains were tightly clenched, and the knuckles turned white, showing the inner tension and urgency.

Muchen met her burning gaze, his face remaining calm, even with a touch of just the right amount of ease, as if he was talking about something that wasn't too difficult.

"How much does Aunt Li want?" He said in a steady tone: "If it's one or two hundred kilograms, I can still find a way to get it." As he said this, he shrugged slightly, indicating that this quantity was within the expected range.

"Wha...what?!" Aunt Li's eyes suddenly widened as if she was struck by thunder.

His pupils suddenly contracted in extreme shock, his mouth opened wide for a long time, and all the cleverness on his face instantly disappeared: "Really?! That's great! Oh my god!!"

She gasped excitedly, slapped her thighs with both hands, making a loud "snap", and her whole body trembled slightly with excitement.

She patted her chest to calm herself, panting and shaking her head, her voice still filled with shock and disbelief. "I thought... I thought you could only get a pound or two of such a precious thing!"

Aunt Li's tone was filled with unexpected ecstasy, and the look she gave Muchen was as if she were looking at a walking mountain of gold.

Seeing Aunt Li's reaction, Muchen was upset. It's over! I miscalculated!

In his concept, food is just a unit of measurement of fifty or one hundred kilograms, ignoring the scarcity of food on this planet.

But it's not a big problem. They just arrived and the other party can't figure out their details. It's more important to get the spaceship's intelligent computer back first.

At this time, Aunt Li's great ecstasy seemed to be suppressed a little.

"Normal blue grains," she said, her eyes flashing, her fingers unconsciously twisting a piece of cleaner cloth on the corner of her clothes. "We buy them for ten star coins per tael, and sell them for twelve star coins."

She paused, her eyes fixed on Mu Chen: "This corn..."

"That's great! This is our first transaction."

Her voice rose a little: "I'll take it up to twelve star coins, what do you think?"

As she quoted her bid, deep in her eyes there was still a lingering aftertaste of that amazing taste and a huge desire for profit.

After Aunt Li finished speaking, she did not immediately wait for Muchen's response.

When he raised his head again, the excitement and enthusiasm had subsided a lot. He gritted his teeth, as if he had made a great determination, and squeezed out the following words:

"That's... that's all!"

She stretched out a rough finger and pointed it vigorously in the air to emphasize her determination. "I want one pound first!"

"If it sells well, I'll find you again. Then I'll find you again! I want more!"

Twelve star coins are worth one tael. If Aunt Li wants one jin, that would be one hundred and twenty star coins.

According to the exchange rate of garbage stars, this is indeed a big deal.

Muchen gave Aunt Li a kind smile in return: "No problem, if it's one pound, I have it right here. Please wait for us and we'll get it for you."

After Muchen finished speaking, his eyes quickly met Sirong who was standing quietly beside him.

No words are needed, just a slight chin lift and a tacit look.

Sirong understood what he meant and nodded slightly, with a hint of relief and cautious joy at the initial victory flashing across her eyes.

The two of them did not delay any longer and turned around and walked side by side with brisk steps towards their temporary residence.
