"That's it, old branch secretary, you give me a day, you bring someone over the morning after tomorrow, I will prepare 5,000 catties of cornmeal and 20,000 catties of sweet potatoes for you, and then talk about it after this winter. ”

"What...... What? Ye Lin, what you said is true?"

"Of course it's true. ”

"Great, great. The old branch secretary cried loudly as he spoke.

Ye Lin hurriedly stood up and walked over, helped the old branch secretary and said, "Old branch secretary, you are ......"

"Ye Lin, thank you, thank you, I'm happy, happy. ”

The old branch secretary didn't doubt that Ye Lin could get so much food, but thinking of Ye Lin's wealthy appearance, a teenager casually took out dozens of yuan.

And I heard Da Kui say that what Ye Lin sells in the pigeon market is grain, or white noodles, meat, chickens and ducks, fish, eggs or something, since this is the case, then there should be no problem in getting some coarse grain.

Besides, there is no need for Ye Lin to lie to them, if he can get it, he can't get them, and he doesn't have anything to say.

The reason why Ye Lin prepared so much for the old branch secretary was that he had a plan, not to mention so much, even if it was twice as much, Ye Lin could take it out, but he didn't, scarcity is expensive, and if there are more, he doesn't know how to cherish it.

5,000 catties of cornmeal, 150 people, an average of more than 33 catties per person, 20,000 catties of sweet potatoes, an average of more than 130 catties per person, save some food, there is no problem in dealing with a winter, at least no one will starve to death.

"Old branch secretary, we can't cry when we're happy, people still think that Uncle Da Kui and I have done something to you. Ye Lin made a joke.

Hearing Ye Lin say this, the old branch secretary wiped his tears and said to Uncle Da Kui, "Da Kui take out the things." ”

"Oh, good. ”

Uncle Da Kui took out the cloth bag from his arms, put it on the table, and opened it carefully, revealing a ginseng inside, yes, it is ginseng, this ginseng is not big, only the thickness of chopsticks, and the length of an adult's index finger.

But Ye Lin knew that this was an old mountain ginseng, and at least it was more than 20 years old, not only that, but there was also fresh soil on it, and it looked like it had just been unearthed.

"Ye Lin, this is two days ago when the people in the village went to the mountains to hunt wild boars, the wild boars were not hit, and when they came across a ginseng, you took it back and made up for the old people at home. ”

"Ahh......h It's too precious for me to take it. ”

"What is precious! This thing can't be used as food, compared to those grains, this is nothing, I know, this time you broke the bank, and the village has no money to give you, but Ye Lin, don't worry, we will compensate you twice in the future." ”

"Old branch secretary, don't say that, if you don't compensate for anything, of course I have to help if I can, but if I can't help, I can't help it. ”

"Yes, yes, that's what I said, but at this time, who will stretch out this hand!" the old branch secretary shook his head after speaking.

He is right, he can help them a lot, but absolutely no one will stretch out this hand, and he will not look at what time it is, not only the old branch secretary and their village are like this, but all the villages are like this, and they can't help at all.

To be honest, even Ye Lin is powerless, it is already good to be able to help the old branch secretary in their village, and in other places, Ye Lin is really powerless.

However, this time Ye Lin is also hemorrhaging, five thousand catties of cornmeal, which was sold for seven cents a catty before, and it is estimated that some people are rushing to ask for it now for one cent, so it is calculated according to seven cents a catty, and five thousand catties is three hundred and fifty yuan.

20,000 catties of sweet potatoes, just two cents a catty, that is also 400 yuan, adding up to 755, 705 is not a small amount in this era.

"It's such an old branch secretary, because there are more things, you may not be able to pull away one or two carriages, but if there are more, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of others, I think so, can you come over first, and the rest will stop outside the city, and wait for the first one to go out of the city, and the second one will come again." ”

"Yes, yes, of course, where are we going to look for you then?"

With so much food, of course Ye Lin can't put it at home, and it is definitely not possible to find it at home, so the old branch secretary asked.

"In this way, the old branch secretary, let's eat first, and I'll take you over after eating, and then you can go there to find me." Ye Lin saw the waiter coming out with the dishes, so he said to the old branch secretary.

"Okay, okay, eat first. ”

When he saw what kind of dish the waiter served, whether it was Uncle Da Kui or the old branch secretary, they all swallowed their saliva, and their stomachs could scream, seeing this situation, Ye Lin hurriedly said: "Old branch secretary, Uncle Da Kui, you eat!"

"Ye Lin, don't you eat?" Seeing that Ye Lin didn't mean to eat, the old branch secretary asked.

"I just eat, this is for you and Uncle Da Kui, you can just eat, don't worry about me. ”

"Ahh

"It's not much!" Ye Lin said as he looked at the dishes and soup on the table.

Just two dishes and one soup, as well as five white-flour steamed buns, for the old branch secretary and Uncle Da Kui, it is really not much, it is estimated that it is good to be full, of course, Ye Lin can order more, but in that case, it is estimated that the old branch secretary and Uncle Da Kui will have to hold on, which is not what Ye Lin wants to see.

After a long period of starvation, eating too much at one time is not good for your health, and it may also be dangerous, which is a mistake that Ye Lin from the 21st century must not make.

"Ye Lin, can we stop eating this?"

"Uh! Old branch secretary, you are ......"

"I want to take it. ”

"Ah, old branch secretary, you should eat, if you want to take it away, no problem, I'll ask for another according to this. ”

"No, no, no, no, no, let's eat, Da Kui, eat. The old branch secretary hurriedly stopped Ye Lin, he didn't want Ye Lin to help them ask for another one.

The old branch secretary is old, he ate two steamed buns, drank some soup and stopped, and let Uncle Da Kui make the rest, even the soup pot, if it wasn't for Ye Lin, it is estimated that he would lick it again, you know, Uncle Da Kui is middle-aged, and the amount of food is needless to say.

"Auntie, how much?"

"A piece of five, and a pound of meat tickets, a pound of vegetable tickets, a pound of food tickets and half a pound of egg tickets. ”

"Here you go. Ye Lin took out a handful of tickets, took out a few from them and handed them over, of course, there was also a five-cent dollar that was handed over together.

This is nothing for Ye Lin, but for the old branch secretary and Uncle Da Kui, it was shocking, just the meal that the two of them ate just now, it actually cost five cents a piece.

What is the concept of a piece of five in the countryside, a family, hard work for a year, at the end of the year, in addition to a little food, the family will also share more than a dozen yuan, that is to say, the money spent on this meal is the money of a family working for a month.
