Chapter 203: Grain for Cattle
"This is naturally possible, now that there is a disaster, the relief grain is down, we ordinary people can't buy it, this food is naturally very popular compared to silver money, but, how to exchange this food?" After Li Zhuang took a deep breath, he asked with a perked spirit.
Even Xiaomei on the side held Huang Yiyun's hand tightly.
Seeing this, Huang Yiyun first smiled at Xiaomei, and then gently patted Xiaomei's hand with his other hand.
"The conversion of twelve copper plates for one pound of black noodles, ten copper plates for sweet potatoes and potatoes one pound, what do you think, Brother Li?" Huang Congjiang said the price of the field before.
"Cheng Chengcheng, this price is not expensive, it is too real, my family exchanged a thousand catties of cattle for a thousand catties of black flour and a hundred catties of sweet potatoes, and now there is a disaster, Brother Huang's family, where will there be so much food for exchange? It's because I'm too greedy, Brother Huang, you see how much food your family can exchange for my family, if the food is not enough, just make up for it with money. ”
"Are there a lot of people in Brother Li's family?" Huang Congjiang asked.
"The head father and mother of the family are gone, just me, my daughter-in-law, Xiaomei sisters, and a kid." Although Li Zhuang didn't know what Huang Congjiang was doing when he asked about this, he still replied honestly.
"Brother Li, your family is not very populous, I am afraid that I will be able to eat for a long time if I change so much grain at once, and now there are almost many families who have begun to plant winter wheat, and after the winter wheat is harvested in April and May of the next year, the price of this grain will definitely not be so expensive." Huang Congjiang told Li Zhuang a little tactfully.
"Thank you Brother Huang for the reminder, this food! My family is really lacking, not only for our own food, but also for other uses, as long as your family has so much food, my family will be all replaced. After Li Zhuang heard Huang Congjiang's words, his heart turned around, and after knowing that Huang Congjiang was thinking about himself, he was also quite moved in his heart.
"Dad, you can talk about it yourself, Sister Xiaomei and I have some considerate things to say, and you will call me when you go back." After Huang Yiyun said this, she was pulled down by Li Xiaomei into her room.
"Sister Xiaomei, is there something wrong with your family?" Huang Yiyun asked after seeing Xiaomei close the door.
"You see, is it so obvious?" Xiaomei asked.
"It's all written on your face, why can't you see it? Sister Xiaomei, you treat me as a sister, if you want to talk to me, I'll listen to it, if it's inconvenient, forget it. Huang Yiyun touched Xiaomei with one finger, frowned tightly, and said.
"There was something wrong before, but after your family came, the matter was resolved again." Xiaomei pulled Huang Yiyun to sit down and said.
"It's because of the food." Huang Yiyun asked affirmatively.
"Well, yes, a few years ago, my eldest brother had already seen a girl in a family, and he had already made up his mind, and when he chose a good day and an auspicious day, he could get married and tie the knot.
It's just that there has been a disaster a few days ago, and the marriage between the two of them has been delayed, and after this period of time, the other party has not repented of the marriage, saying that he would give their family 500 catties of food, and only then did he agree to marry the sister-in-law I set before.
It's just that now there has been a disaster, and my own food has not been harvested, and the food that was stored before is not enough for my own food, and I can't buy it even if I have money, so my brother's marriage has been delayed.
And I'm not young anymore, and I'm also looking at each other, and the two sides also took a fancy to each other, so I waited for the next hiring, and after my brother married my sister-in-law, it was my turn, alas! It's just that this disaster is in trouble, and the family doesn't have enough food to eat, and the matter of marriage is naturally over.
Now that you have your family's grain in exchange for my cattle, now my family doesn't have to worry about food, and I can also solve my brother's family affairs, as for me, you can wait, don't worry, Yiyun, I really want to thank your family, otherwise, my family is still worried about this? Xiaomei immediately said gratefully.
"It's okay, Sister Xiaomei, there are many good men in this world, this is not good, let's find the next home, Sister Xiaomei, we don't have to thank each other, we all have what we need, and we can't talk about helping." Sister Xiaomei, my family has tuned out some grain before, and after exchanging with your family, there is still some leftover.
My father and grandma have discussed, I want to use the surplus food, in exchange for some silver or something, do you see the people in your village who need food? Everyone who doesn't want to make a fuss about this is well known. Huang Yiyun thought about it and said.
"Now that food is valuable, if you buy food with money, how much will there be in Da Niu Village? However, I still have to talk to my dad about this, and ask my dad to find you a real person. Xiaomei said immediately.
When Huang Yiyun went out, he also saw Huang Congjiang and Li Zhuang talking happily.
My sister-in-law and Xiaomeiniang also chatted together.
After Huang Yiyun came out, she looked at Huang Congjiang and Huang Caixia and nodded.
"Dad, my daughter has something to say to you." After Li Zhuang heard Xiaomei's words, he hesitated and glanced at Huang Congjiang.
"Brother Li just go." After Huang Congjiang knew what Xiaomei wanted to say to Li Zhuang, he urged.
"What's the matter? Or did the eldest sister of the Huang family tell you something? After Xiaomei pulled her father into the room, Li Zhuang asked with a move in his heart.
"Dad, Yiyun's sister said that after his family's grain was exchanged for cattle with our family, their family still had some grain left, what about this grain? Their family wants to exchange it for silver, and they want to find their father to see if anyone wants to exchange for food, and this price is the same as the price of our family for cattle before. The meaning of the Huang family, their family is not like everyone who makes trouble about exchanging food. "Little Meidao.
"What about the high price of food now? There are many people in our village who lack food at home, and my father went to ask a few families, first ask them if they want it, if it does, my father tied up an ox cart and went to Huang's house to pull it. Li Zhuang nodded.
"Brother Huang, I'm really sorry, I have to go out." Li Zhuang said with a tacit look at Huang Congjiang.
"Xiaomei, you go and tie up the ox cart, wait for your father to come back, and send Brother Huang back." Li Zhuang explained to Xiaomei before leaving.
Later, Xiaomei and her mother went to the backyard to tie up the ox cart.
"That's it." Huang Caixia asked the eldest sister.
"Having said that, it is estimated that Uncle Li is going to their village to ask some people close to him. However, Dad, I will tell Uncle Li at the end of the meeting that if our family exchanges food, we can only exchange a small amount of noodles for some out.
Just swap out most of the sweet potatoes and potatoes, these two items are not so good to keep, these two items are also many in our house, and it is not good to put them for a long time, of course, it is better to change them all out. Huang Yiyun thought about it and said to Huang Congjiang.
"Well, I thought about it before, and when Brother Li comes back, I'll talk about it." Huang Congjiang also nodded and replied.
