Cuihua rushed over with an arrow step, staring at Feng Hua with wide eyes curiously, and then at the basket at Feng Hua's feet.

Feng Hua smiled at her, Cuihua was stunned for a moment, and also returned a bright smile, a mouthful of white teeth shining.

Liu Baozhu looked around, and everyone in the village had gone home, and now there was no one on the road.

"Go in and say." Liu Baozhu whispered. To be honest, changing rice is not something that can be said on the surface, although every family has done it, but this is not allowed.

In their case, if they are not careful, they will be drawn into speculation.

Feng Hua picked up the basket and walked into the courtyard. Liu Baozhu was a little disappointed, there seemed to be nothing in the basket, but this is normal, who still has excess grain to exchange for rice.

Maybe someone in this little girl's family is sick and wants to eat some fine grain?

The courtyard had no walls, only a low fence, which was not suitable for a courtyard, and several people went into the house.

Cuihua's grandmother and mother were not in a hurry to cook, but stood aside curiously, wanting to see what Feng Hua was exchanging for rice.

Feng Hua lifted the sack, revealing a basket full of small cloth bags with mouths tied inside. It can be seen from the tight shape of the cloth bag that it contains large grains of grain.

"Huh." Liu Baozhu let out a low sigh, he thought that there would be food in the basket, but he thought it was very little, so he didn't think about it so much! That must be heavy!

Just now, the little girl picked it up, he thought that there were at most five or six catties in the basket, but looking at the current appearance, I am afraid that there are fifty or sixty catties.

Liu Baozhu took his eyes out of the basket and stared at Feng Hua curiously, this is not an ordinary person.

The rest of the Liu family didn't think of this for a while, but they were stopped by this basket full of grain.

Feng Hua picked up a small bag, untied the rope that tied the mouth, revealing the golden corn inside, and handed it to Liu Baozhu.

"Uncle, this bag of 1 catty and 5 taels for one catty of rice, do you think it's okay?" Feng Hua said.

This bag of corn is packed according to 1 catty and 5 taels, which is convenient for exchange. In previous years, the transaction price was 1 catty of millet 2 taels for 1 catty of rice, and the proportion of corn was uncertain, 1 catty of 3 taels or 1 catty of 4 taels for 1 catty of rice.

Feng Hua gave some more, which can be regarded as doing his best. She is not bad at this now, she even wants to exchange 5 catties of corn for 1 catty of rice, but reason tells her that she can't do that.

The consequences are unimaginable.

Liu Baozhu took the corn, grabbed a few grains and threw them into his mouth and chewed them, and then looked at Feng Hua fixedly.

Feng Hua smiled slightly: "Uncle, do you want to change it?" I'll have to take the train home later. ”

"Change!" Liu Baozhu immediately said, no matter what the little girl thinks about saying such a preferential price, how can there be so much grain in stock, and why is the quality of the grain so good.... He didn't even want to think about it.

"the kid, go and ..... all our rice Go and get ten pounds of rice. Zhao Lan's eyes were bright at first, and suddenly when she heard that she only took 10 catties of rice, her eyes darkened, but she still did as he said without hesitation.

"Little girl, there are only 13 families in our village, how about I go and ask each family to come and exchange some with you?" After Liu Baozhu finished speaking, he said meaningfully: "It's safer this way." ”

If you don't suffer from widowhood but suffer from inequality, everyone will not have a grudge and give birth to any moths.

"Okay, I have a total of 40 bags of 60 catties of corn, and I can exchange anything for it, rice, and mountain goods."

"Mountain goods are also available? How do you count that? Liu Baozhu said immediately.

"Uncle, you'll decide." Feng Hua smiled. She has dealt with Liu Baozhu for decades, so she naturally knows what he is like.

Let's just say one thing, there are so many villages in the mountains, countless people go up to the mountains to hunt, the large prey can't be hidden, the whole village is divided, and the small prey is secretly left by their own families, everyone is like this.

It was the same before Situn, but in the past three years, Liu Baozhu asked everyone to hand over the prey, no matter how big or small, to his daughter-in-law, make it, and distribute it to children under the age of 8 and pregnant women in the village.

The people in the village believed him and did as he was told, so the survival rate of the children in Situn was the highest compared to other villages, and the atmosphere in the village was particularly united.

Fair, just, and flexible, this is Liu Baozhu.

As soon as he heard that he could exchange mountain goods, Liu Baozhu's eyes lit up and he stopped his daughter-in-law. Originally, he planned to exchange 10 catties of rice for his own family, but he couldn't get much rice if he didn't change it for other people's families.

They produce rice here, but almost all of them pay the public grain, and their team also distributes corn grown separately, which has a high yield and a large portion, and the members of the club are also willing.

Compared with other places that don't grow rice, they will only get rice, and they will divide it relatively more, ten catties and twenty catties, and they can voluntarily change more when the year is good, one hundred and eighty catties.

But these two years are different, no one wants to get a share of rice, and they all choose more corn.

The 10 catties of rice in his family were really unbearable for the two families in the team, and they even cried and begged him to replace it with corn. He had no choice but to stay.

But now you can exchange mountain goods for corn, so I'm afraid these 60 catties are not enough.

Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, their village life is not bad, guarding the mountains, no one starves to death, and the mountain goods are relatively sufficient, all according to the sack.

"In the current season, there are only mushrooms, fungus, dried bracken, pine nuts, and hazelnuts left over from last year. Liu Baozhu was a little apprehensive.

These mountain goods have to be sold to the purchasing station every year, and a few cents a pound is more expensive than corn and even rice.

However, that was in previous years! Now nothing is more expensive than grain. A pound of mushrooms and a pound of fungus is a big bunch, but no matter how much vitamins drop, it is not starch.

And pine nuts and hazelnuts are skinned, not even grain. Pound for pound, he felt that he was a bit of a bully.

In order to make life better in the village, Liu Baozhu went to the black market and wanted to exchange mountain goods for some food. If you don't know, if you go, you'll be shocked, this mountain commodity is really a sky-high price that has never been seen before.

Sixty dollars for a pound of mushrooms!

He hurriedly sold the two catties he had brought with him, and planned to buy a sack of grain to go back. As a result, I went seven or eight times in a row, and I didn't see a grain of grain!

The price is clear, 20, 30 pounds, exchanging mountain goods for food, it stands to reason that there is some money, but first of all, there must be food to exchange with you.

The current grain can no longer be measured by common sense, so one pound for one pound, Liu Baozhu said a little worriedly, afraid that Feng Hua would not agree, and even more afraid of offending this mysterious little girl.

This method is more reasonable, and Feng Hua said happily: "Okay." ”

"Daman, Xiaoman, call the shopkeeper from door to door!" Liu Baozhu immediately said to his two sons.

The big man and the little man went away in response.

Feng Hua grinned, she was also very familiar with Cuihua's two elder brothers, one of them was born after Daman, and the other was born after Xiaoman, so they were called this name.

Cuihua was born after Xiaoxia, and was originally going to be called Liu Xiaoxia, Liu Mouse......

Fortunately, her mother strongly objected, and she escaped.
