Chapter 149: Food Prices

It's just a pity that there are not many seeds of these longevity fruits, this piece of land is relatively barren, and the output of an acre of land is expected to produce about three or four hundred catties, fortunately, the seedlings of this longevity fruit are also a good thing, and an acre of land can also produce so many seedlings, which are still good for feeding livestock, and can save a lot of food.

Yan Ruyu cared much about this immortal fruit far beyond the imagination of the brothers in the village.

Except for those villagers who had received the planting task, everyone else was not allowed to approach the ten acres of land, although the big guy was curious, but Yan Ruyu didn't dare to listen to his words.

Everyone knows that the big boss loves to hang people at the door of the village to show the public, and sometimes the flag at the mouth of the village is fluttering, and it doesn't look too beautiful.

The most terrible thing is that there are now many wooden stakes at the mouth of the village, which are placed there so bluntly that the brothers who pass by every day feel numb in their scalps.

"Big boss, this is this year's food price." After planting the longevity fruit, Lao Zhou looked at the land and felt pity in his heart.

If it is all good land, where will they use it to buy grain outside?

"Thorn Yang City has always been short of grain, so the price of grain has been high, and this year it is even worse, rice costs more than nine taels of silver per stone...... Hey, our village now uses polished rice, and the big boss should treat the old and young in the village well, and the small ones understand, but this cost is unbearable...... "Lao Zhou said painfully.

The weight of each stone varies depending on the grain.

However, the difference between the hundred grains will not be too much, this rice is about 120 catties per day, and there are now thousands of people in the mountains, and the minimum amount of rice consumed per day is three stones, which is a mixture of polished rice and brown rice, of course, you can't just eat rice, you also need other grains and vegetables and even meat.

It's just for eating.

There are also those that are worn, used, and burned...... In the past, most of the cloth used in the village was coarse cloth, which was relatively cheap, but now the days are better, and there are occasionally good silk cloths, especially in the winter that has just passed, almost everyone has added a few catties of cotton to make clothes, and not to mention the coal, candles, tung oil and even pottery and porcelain in the village, which one does not cost money?

Let's put it this way, according to the standard of living given by Yan Ruyu, it takes about fifty taels of silver to eat every day.

Counting the consumption and use of livestock, it will cost more than 100 taels a day.

Of course, the price of grain in Thorn Yang City this year is surprisingly high, like that rich township, a stone of grain is actually eight or nine dollars, or even lower, which is more than ten times the difference!

Because of this, every day I feel that the silver is spent like flowing water, Lao Zhou really can't stand it.

"Big boss, it's not me who picks the door, it's that our life is too good!" Lao Zhou was not afraid of Yan Ruyu's blame, and continued: "Ordinary people at the bottom of the mountain can't eat meat twice a year, but in our village, there is meat almost every day, which is the life that bandits should live?!" ”

"Also, the small one used to only go down the mountain once a month to stock up, but now it is really hard to send people out of the mountain to prepare for it almost every three days...... So, why don't you discuss with the big guys, and replace all the polished rice with brown rice, and the daily meat to once a month......"

"Don't have enough money to make?" Listening to Lao Zhou's chatter, Yan Ruyu couldn't help but ask.

"Enough is enough...... The income of the boss snack shop is enough. "Lao Zhou, as the big housekeeper of the entire cottage, knows the business in the village very well.

"Then you can afford it, I can afford it." Yan Ruyu said casually, "But it's really hard for you to send people down the mountain every day...... But this kind of day will not last long, our village itself has its own livestock, and it won't be long before this meat can be eaten by those little things that are hunted and raised, as for the ...... for wearing."
