Chapter 5 Closing the Deal

"Brother Shan, are you serious?" In the dilapidated village committee office, a small black and thin man immediately stood up with excitement after listening to Ying Fengshan's words.

The other three village cadres were also red with excitement, they knew too well the meaning of food at this time, which could not be bought by any amount of money.

"I can't guarantee whether it's true or not, but what Comrade Xia means is that as long as you can help her settle down, she can provide a village with life food." Ying Fengshan shook his head, he had no way to be sure of this kind of thing, but thinking about it, since the other party wanted to settle down, he wouldn't talk nonsense about this kind of thing.

"It's not a problem to settle down, but how much she can provide this food and what price she needs will still have to be implemented." It was Yao Songqiu, the village head, who spoke, and he was also the most influential character in the entire village.

In the early years, Yao Songqiu was messing around outside, which was also quite a powerful character, and it was not until the establishment of the Xinhua Kingdom that he returned to the village, and he was the only two people in the village who went out to see the world, and the other was Ying Fengshan.

"Okay, I'll go back and ask in detail, if it's okay, I think about implementing the food problem as soon as possible, and in addition, let's see how much money can be transferred from our village public account, and then send people to count it door to door, except for the grain purchased in the village, each household can pay as much as they want, as long as Comrade Xia's food is enough, we will ask as much as possible." Ying Fengshan has already thought about how to implement the food problem when he goes back.

At Fengshan's suggestion, the other village cadres present are meaningless, no one is stupid, if that Comrade Xia has a lot of grain in his hands, and everyone wants to buy more privately, with the current year, I don't know what will happen next year, if the drought continues, it will really be a no-grain.

"By the way, Comrade Xia still wants some newspapers from previous years, don't we all follow the township to order newspapers every month, I'll send her back first, and then ask when the grain can be arranged by the way." Ying Fengshan thought that Xia Yanru had another condition, and immediately said.

Old newspapers are not difficult to find, although the Shishan Pass is located in a remote area, but in order to respond to the call of the township, it is also necessary to subscribe to the newspaper, but now there are not many literate people, the village will read the newspaper, in fact, there are only a few village cadres, as well as some old people in the village who have read private schools in the early years.

When Ying Fengshan came home with the newspapers of the past three years, he remembered that he was still boiling water, and hurriedly ran to the kitchen to check, but happened to see Xia Yanru removing the fire and warming the stove under the guidance of Xiao Weiguang.

"Comrade Xia, I'm really sorry, this is a newspaper from the past three years, you read it first, and then I'll get it." Ying Fengshan hurriedly handed over the newspaper, this Comrade Xia looked like a delicate lady with ten fingers that did not touch the spring water, and the kitchen work was still done by himself.

Seeing the stack of newspapers handed over by Ying Fengshan, Xia Yanru did not politely take it, at the moment she is no different from being blind, it is better to quickly enrich some information first.

Carrying the newspaper back to the hall, Xia Yanru picked it up from the top one and flipped through it, the more she looked at it, the more frightened she became, first of all, the year, just now she took advantage of Ying Fengshan's absence, but asked Xiao Weiguang for some news, but in order to avoid trouble, she didn't ask too much, she only knew that today was December 14th, as for the year, she didn't ask.

Looking at this newspaper now, Xia Yanru is sure that it is December 14, 1958, and the world to which she belongs now can be determined to be the parallel space of the world where she was originally located.

Of course, the most important thing to ignore is that the original space where she is located is currently in a three-year difficult period, saying that it is three years, in fact, this natural disaster must have been before and after four years, but the most powerful three years were from 1959 to 1961, and people are used to calling it a three-year difficult period.

Xia Yanru is a little uncertain that the historical evolution here will be consistent with the time and space where she is located, and she was born 200 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the history of the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China was only learned in the history class of high school, in fact, she doesn't know much about this period, and if it weren't for the college entrance examination questions in these three difficult years, she wouldn't remember it so clearly.

But now, through these newspapers, she is a little relieved about her current situation, as long as the household registration is implemented, the rest will not be a problem. Besides, with her ability, even if she can't get the hukou problem in Shishan Pass, as long as she has time, she can always solve it, after all, she is a "rich person" with a lot of materials.

Here, Ying Fengshan had just finished the kitchen, so he first went to the bedroom to look at his wife, and then estimated that Xia Yanru should have seen it almost as well, thinking of the food problem, and hurriedly came to the hall.

"Comrade Xia, I want to ask about the grain you mentioned before, this price and specific quantity." Ying Fengshan only glanced at the newspapers that had obviously been flipped, and was not surprised that Xia Yanru could read the newspapers, the other party was not from an ordinary family just looking at his appearance, and his literacy was also normal.

"The price of grain is according to the market price, as for the quantity, it depends on how much you want, I will prepare as much as possible, but you can rest assured, the quantity of coarse grain will try to meet the demand." Xia Yanru thought about it, and still gave a base, after all, if she didn't say anything, people didn't have a score, and the life food of a village could not be solved by dozens or hundreds of catties.

As for the type of grain, she directly locates coarse grains, anyway, with the current situation in the countryside, it is estimated that there are few fine grains such as rice and white flour, and there are only a few families that can afford to eat them, so just prepare a hundred or ten catties of fine grains in case of emergency.

"Market price? Can it really be? Ying Fengshan was excited again, he quietly went to the black market in the county a while ago, and the price of grain was already several times as usual, not to mention whether he could buy it, but he could afford it, and the food supply was still very tight.

At present, the market price of grain is not much higher than in previous years, and such a price is acceptable to the villagers of Shishanao, but when you buy grain on the market, you need tickets in addition to money, but I don't know if Xia Yanru's grain here also needs tickets.

After all, the money is easy to make, but the food stamps are too difficult to get together, Ying Fengshan frowned and thought, thinking that it was really not possible, so he would raise the price of grain, as long as Xia Yanru could agree, he would immediately notify the village to prepare the money.

"Yes, just according to the market price." Xia Yanru nodded affirmatively, Xia Yanru has no such plan to make a fortune, since she has the ability, there is nothing to lose if she helps, anyway, most of those materials are obtained in vain after the end of the world.

"Great, thank you, Comrade Xia." Ying Fengshan said gratefully, looking at Xia Yanru's sincere eyes, he didn't know whether he should discuss the issue of food stamps next, but if he didn't say it, he wouldn't be able to get so many food stamps at that time, wouldn't it be even worse.

Xia Yanru didn't wait for Ying Fengshan to speak, she had never experienced this era, so she didn't think of the food stamp problem at first, but fortunately, Ying Fengshan's tangled eyes reminded her that it was not enough to just talk about the price of food.
