Chapter 46: Are They Crazy? Swapping grain for duck eggs?
So, she refused to eat the meat that she didn't finish last night.
It's all eaten by Chen Dashan and their mother and son.
Mrs. Chen's food has been good recently, and she has a lot of meat on her face.
Chen Dashan said: "Today I went to the town to buy some food, and by the way, I replied to Uncle Gu. ”
Mrs. Chen said: "Go ahead, buy more, buy more, Yongxing Grain Shop can send it back, so you don't have to carry it home."
After the cold weather, our chickens and ducks have to eat food. ”
The thought of having so many mouths to eat food made Mrs. Chen feel particularly stressed.
Chen Liu has never been nosy, and when he heard that Chen Dashan was going to buy food, he didn't say much.
Chen Dashan put down the bowl and went to Qingniu Town.
He went to see Gu Bao first and told him that he was going to see Uncle Gu.
Gu Bao said: "Brother Dashan, it's really unfortunate that you came, Uncle Gu is not at home today." ”
"Not at home?" Chen Dashan was suddenly a little disappointed.
"yes, I'm not home today.
Have you thought about going to the barracks with your uncle? Gu Bao asked.
"No, I'm here to talk to Uncle Gu, I can't join the army.
I am the only child in the family, my father is gone, and I have no children, so I can't join the army for the time being, for fear that there will be no successor in the family, and my mother will have no one to support. ”
Gu Bao also learned some about the situation in his family.
After ten years of marriage, only one girl was born, and there is indeed no successor in the family.
He said: "That's a pity, our uncle generally rarely takes the initiative to accept people."
Uncle must really fancy your infinite strength.
If it weren't for the situation in your family, you and your uncle would definitely be able to make a contribution. ”
Chen Dashan doesn't care much about such things as making meritorious contributions, as long as he eats and drinks.
He didn't think about the rest that much.
He said, "Then I'll have a chance later."
Since the uncle is not here, then please ask my brother to help me pass a message. ”
"Okay, when the uncle comes back, I'll tell him.
You have something rare when you go back, remember to send it to our Gu Mansion. ”
"I remember, don't worry." Chen Dashan said.
After saying goodbye to Gu Bao, he went to buy food.
When the guys at the Yongxing grain store saw him coming, they thought he was here to return the grain.
A few days ago, they sent a lot of food to his family, and they told them at that time that they could return it if they didn't run out.
That's what they say, but who wants them to actually come back?
It's unlucky to return what you have sold.
In order to prevent them from returning their food, the owner also sent them half a bag of cornmeal.
If it is returned, what about the cornmeal?
Buckle it down, it's not appropriate.
At the time, it was said that it was sent to them.
However, if they don't deduct it, won't they suffer a loss?
So, the guy's heart is actually not very happy.
Everyone is the same, and I'm very happy when I take out things.
But once someone else wants to return it, that's a different matter.
However, when he enters the door, he is a guest, and no matter how uncomfortable he feels, he can't keep his face black.
So, he greeted him with a smile and said, "Ouch, Brother Dashan, you are here."
Do you want to buy food today? ”
Chen Dashan nodded seriously and said, "Well, I want to buy some more grain." ”
The guy's surname is Deng, he is from Dengjia Village, called Deng Shun, because of his flexible brain, he was invited by the owner to be a buddy.
When Deng Shun heard him say that he wanted to buy some more grain, he thought that he had heard it wrong, so he asked again, saying:
"But there was too much food for you last time, and you want to return it?"
Chen Dashan said: "How can that be? My mother was worried that there would not be enough food to eat, so she had to buy some more. ”
Deng Shun asked: "I sent you a lot of food last time, have you used up all the hospitality?" ”
"No, there's still a part left, isn't it cold?
If it rains or snows, it will be inconvenient to walk, so I want to take advantage of the good weather and buy more to go back. ”
Deng Shun said: "Just buy it when you need it, buy it back and put it at home, I'm afraid the rats will be bad." ”
"No, we don't have rats in our house." Chen Dashan said.
Deng Shun smiled, who doesn't have mice?
In the past, there were no rats in the house because there was no food in the house.
If there is food at home, where will there be no rats?
The rats are very good, and they can feel it clearly who has food.
I don't know who sent the letter.
But he said that if there is no, there will be no nothing, what kind of bar will he carry with the guests?
He asked, "What do you want to buy?" The wheat here is fresh from the summer, and the rice is new from the autumn, and all of them are new grains. ”
Chen Dashan wanted to buy rice and wheat.
The man saw that his eyes were fixed on the rice and then on the wheat, so he hurriedly introduced him to the price.
Wheat is slightly cheaper than rice.
In addition to this, the family has other miscellaneous grains.
Millet, corn, etc., all kinds of grains.
Because the price of each grain is different, the guy introduced it as he spoke, but Chen Dashan didn't remember it at all.
It is also rice, but it is divided into excellent, good, and medium, and each grade is divided into three grades.
The price of each class is different.
Where does he remember?
He saw that all the grains this year were beautiful in color and full of grains, and he liked it very much.
He pondered for a while, and then said, "In this way, you will give me two thousand catties of this rice and one thousand catties of wheat." Send me five hundred pounds of corn. Three hundred pounds of barley. ”
The man's eyes widened, and he asked, "Aren't there only four people in your family?" The girl can't eat for the time being, so she eats for three people, and two women, do you need to buy so much food? ”
Chen Dashan said: "Well, I want to buy more food, you know that my family feeds ducks, now they can go to the river to find something to eat, but in winter, I'm afraid there is nothing to eat in the river, we have to give them something to eat." ”
"Then you won't have so much food."
"More than twenty ducks." Chen Dashan said.
"What do you want so many ducks for? That thing is dead and can be eaten. ”
Chen Dashan said: "Ducks can lay eggs." ”
The man was a little speechless at the time, and said, "You are exchanging grain for duck eggs?" It doesn't matter if you don't eat that thing, it's not cost-effective to feed it with food. ”
Chen Dashan asked, "Big brother, what's wrong with you?"
Shouldn't you be happy that I came to buy more food?
Why do you try to persuade me to buy less? ”
"Brother Dashan, you don't know, if you bought food like others, I would have happily sold it to you, but I have to report to the owner if you ask for too much." Deng Shun said embarrassedly.
"Oh, you're going to bring food back, right?"
"It's not just this, the government has to ask about it.
If you don't know in this business, the government has already issued an official document, and as long as there is a large amount of grain purchased, you have to report it to the government.
You have to wait for the government to verify the situation and let it be sold, and then we can send it to you.
If you don't let us sell, we won't dare to sell no matter how much money you give. Deng Shun said.
