Chapter 204: Food for Money

After a while, Li Zhuang returned.

"Brother Huang, after your family exchanges grain for my cattle now, how much grain can you give out in exchange." Li Zhuang asked directly at Huang Congjiang.

"Black noodles can also be exchanged for 1,000 catties, sweet potatoes can be exchanged for 1,500 catties, and potatoes are about the same." Huang Congjiang's heart turned around and said.

"This ......, so many, the Huang brothers' family is prescient, it's really high!" After Li Zhuang heard Huang Congjiang say that their family had a lot of grain that could be exchanged for it, he originally thought that he was overestimating, but he really didn't expect to underestimate their family's grain storage.

"My family fled to Qingshan Village from other prefectures before, and I had no food to eat before, and I was afraid of hunger, so my family heard the host of Huayun Temple in the county say that after the disaster this year, as soon as this word came out, my family took out most of the family's silver to buy food for Tun Out, and this party just came out with so much grain." Huang Congjiang explained a sentence or two.

"Before, I was afraid that your family would not have enough food to change? I only found four families, and now it is more than enough, and all four of them want to exchange 500 catties or 1,000 catties of grain with your family, don't care about any food, as long as you can eat it, now the money is given to me, Brother Huang is going to take a walk, I have to tie up two more cars to go to your house to pull grain. Li Zhuang said and walked to the backyard.

Before leaving for Qingshan Village, Li Zhuang found three more families to exchange food, and by the way, he also pulled two more people, set up three ox carts and a cow exchanged by the Huang family, and walked to the Huang family.

Before the end of the day, the group came to the Huang family.

Fortunately, the backyard of the Huang family is big enough, and three ox carts are more than enough to drive into the backyard.

Huang Congjiang first drove the cattle he had exchanged for his own grain into the cattle pen first.

After that, Huang Congjiang took Li Zhuang and the other two directly to the warehouse, pointed to the two brothers before, packed a bag, a hundred catties of black noodles, sweet potatoes and potatoes and said, "A bag is 100 catties, this is black noodles, this is sweet potatoes, this is potatoes, Brother Li, let's first carry out the 1,000 catties of black noodles and 100 catties of potatoes that your family exchanged, and then count the others." ”

"Done." Li Zhuang didn't have an opinion, and beckoned the other two people who brought him, and directly carried ten bags of black noodles and a bag of potatoes to the ox cart in the backyard.

"Brother Li, all the food that can be exchanged for my family is here, how much can be exchanged, you can just see how much you can do." Huang Congjiang pointed to the more than 50 bags of grain that were still left in the warehouse.

"And quite a few?" Li Zhuang saw that after moving eleven bags of grain, in the warehouse, after roughly counting, there were still forty or fifty bags of grain, Li Zhuang also understood, it seems that Huang Congjiang had put less grain in it before.

"It depends on how much food Brother Li can exchange." Huang Congjiang replied with a smile.

"I found seven families, and each of them basically needs 500 catties of grain to survive this famine, Brother Huang, you have a few sweet potatoes, potatoes and black noodles." Li Zhuang asked.

"Sixteen bags of black flour, twenty bags each of sweet potatoes and potatoes."

"In that case, how about all the black noodles have been replaced, ten bags of sweet potatoes and ten bags of potatoes?" Li Zhuang thought for a while and said.

"Cheng, let's move!" Huang Congjiang waved his hand.

After Li Zhuang gave a little to the two young men he had brought behind him, the two of them carried the grain with their hands and feet neatly and carried it to the ox cart.

Li Zhuang and Huang Congjiang were counting the price of these grains on the side.

The two of them calculated together, a total of thirty-nine taels of silver and two hangings.

Da Niu Village is not a rich village, and the money brought by others to Li Zhuang to come to the Huang family to exchange food is a ingots of five taels of silver, of course, they also brought some copper plates, which seems to be convenient for change.

Li Zhuang counted the ingots weighing seven and five taels of silver, and also counted out 4,200 copper plates for Huang Congjiang.

"Thank you, Brother Huang, if you still need to buy cattle next time you go back to your house, I will give it to your family more affordably. Today I took my leave first. Li Zhuang also paid the money, carried the things to the carriage, and tied the rope, and then said goodbye.

"Since Brother Li said this, when I went to your Daniu Village this morning, I saw that there were also people who raised donkeys, and asked Brother Li to find a donkey for our family, buy a donkey to pull goods, pick up people, and so on. I still have this food left in my family, and I ask Brother Li to help me more. Huang Congjiang thought about it and said.

"What do I think is the matter? Is food selling well now? Many people are willing to exchange with your family, but donkeys are more expensive than oxen, and the general price is about fifteen taels of silver. Li Zhuang waved his hand at Huang Congjiang.

"Okay, fifteen taels is fifteen taels, if Brother Li looks for my family, I can directly drive a donkey and a car to my house to haul food, and I will wait for Brother Li to come at home." It's lunch today, Brother Li and the two brothers finish lunch and leave, and my daughter-in-law and eldest sister go to cook. Huang Congjiang retained.

"It's not possible, this grain has to be sent back quickly, and now there is a family waiting for this grain to boil." Li Zhuang shook his head and refused.

"That's it, then I won't send it." Huang Congjiang saw that Li Zhuang was not prevaricating, it seemed that he was really waiting for these grains to be boiled and eaten, and Huang Congjiang was no longer retaining.

"Mother, in addition to exchanging grain for a cow today, all these silver coins, exchanged for grain, are all here." After eating lunch, Huang Congjiang piled the silver money he had exchanged for food today on the table.

"The mother will collect thirty taels of silver, and the rest will be divided into three parts, one for the eldest and one for the second, half for Caixia, and the remaining half for the female baby at the head of the family to save for dowry. If the boss has time, you can go to the silver building in town and exchange the silver for copper plates. Huang Li pulled out six of the five taels of silver, and pointed to the remaining silver coins and said to the three brothers and sisters of Huang Congjiang.

After Huang Liu and Huang Jiang on the side heard Huang Li's words, their faces showed joy and smiles.

After fleeing from his hometown and settling down in Qingshan Village, the money earned by the family was either to build a house or buy things, even if there was some surplus money, it was always collected by Huang Li's family, and Huang Liu's and Huang Jiang's had no private money.

Today, there is finally some silver money pressed down behind him, how can he not make Huang Liu and Huang Jiang happy.

Although the silver money saved by the Huang Li family was used by the family, it was more important than having private money in his hand.

If you have private money in your hand, you can not only subsidize the head child in the family, but it is also convenient to buy something by yourself, and you don't have to go to Huang Li's hands to beg for money.

Even Huang Caixia heard that she could still share half a penny, and her face showed joy.
