After all, he is still a child, greedy, Gu Lidun has not eaten a good meal for a long time, although he thinks what Ye Qingyu said is good, but he still wants to eat some meat.

Ye Qingyu thought about it and nodded in agreement.

It's not too much to meet the child's small requirements, anyway, two, the big one will be exchanged for some food with Lizheng, and the small one will be kept for Gu Lidun to beat the tooth, which is not bad.

Nowadays, meat is expensive, a pound of pork costs two dollars of silver, two dollars of silver is equal to two hundred copper plates, ordinary people all year round, they will earn less than two taels of silver, if it is a bad year, the harvest is poor, not even one or two.

Although bamboo rats are said to be common in the countryside, in winter, it is not said that they can be caught, and one is seven or eight catties, and it is enough to exchange dozens of catties of food.

Today's grain is not expensive, a pound of rice is only 50 copper plates, coarse grains are cheaper, 20 is enough, that is, fine white flour These fine grains are more expensive, not something that ordinary people can afford.

Ye Qingyu estimated that Li Zheng should not be able to pit himself, how could a bamboo rat of seven or eight catties give thirty or forty catties of grain, right?

After collecting the things, Ye Qingyu found a broken basket, took out the fattest bamboo rat inside, put it in the basket, and carefully covered it with bamboo leaves, afraid that Gu's mother would come to the door again and loot all the things in the house, Ye Qingyu thought about putting the things outside temporarily, found a haystack and plugged it, and hid it carefully before taking Gu Lidun to Lizheng's house.

When the Gu family broke up, he was very dissatisfied with Gu's mother, he didn't do that much, seeing that his son's legs and feet were inconvenient, he was in a hurry to drive people out, for fear that they would eat more food from the Gu family, but Gu Changyang himself had no opinions, and he didn't bother to ask, what was the Gu family's family matter.

When Ye Qingyu passed, Li Zheng was not at home, it was his wife Mo, seeing Ye Qingyu bring Gu Lidun here, her face suddenly changed, and she was a little unhappy when she was close to the time to eat.

Ye Qingyu saw Mo's expression clearly, and understood what she was worried about, so she smiled politely at the person before she opened her mouth to explain her intentions, "Isn't Li Zheng at home?" I had something to do with him. ”

"It's unfortunate that I just went out and came back later, is there something wrong with the sister-in-law of the Gu family?" Ye Qingyu married Gu Changyang, because Gu Changyang is the boss of the Gu family, so outsiders call her the sister-in-law of the Gu family.

Ye Qingyu didn't like it very much, but he didn't say anything, he leaned up and pushed the bamboo leaves in the basket away, revealing the fat bamboo rat inside, "I just went to dig some bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest, but I didn't expect to dig a bamboo rat, I thought that there was no food at home, if this thing was known by my in-laws, it would inevitably come to my house again, saying that we were not filial, and we didn't know how to honor them if we had good things, so I thought about whether to find someone to exchange for some food." To tell you the truth, the filial piety food to be given to them this month has not been given, and there is really no food left at home. ”

Ye Qingyu said sincerely, Mo Shi also knew Gu's mother's personality, and knew that what Ye Qingyu said was really possible.

She thought about it for a while, and then led Ye Qingyu into the door, bamboo rats are meat, usually unless it is for the New Year's holiday, who is willing to eat meat?

She led Ye Qingyu into the door and asked in a low voice, "Then how much grain do you want to exchange?" ”

"This bamboo rat looks like it has seven or eight catties, and the village doesn't know who has more food, Mrs. Lizheng, you can help me think about it." Ye Qingyu didn't directly say that he wanted to find Lizheng's family to change, but just opened his mouth in embarrassment.

Mo's eyes rolled, and he said with a smile, "This year's harvest is not good, you also know, this bamboo rat, although it is a precious thing, but it is not uncommon in the village, so let's call the shots, you exchange the bamboo rat for me, I will give you thirty catties of grain, what do you think?" ”

Thirty catties, which is about the same as Ye Qingyu's estimate, and Mo's is not a black heart.
