Chapter 497, a catty of locusts for half a catty of coarse grains

"What? Yongnian's family collects locusts? Can one catty of locusts be exchanged for half a catty of coarse grains?"

"Really? I have a dozen sacks at home!"

"There are still some locusts in the ground. If it is true, our whole family will catch them!"

...

In the morning, everyone in the village came to a meeting, and when they heard what the village chief announced, they almost thought they had heard it wrong!

Food is in short supply right now!

There are many locusts on the ground, but there is no coarse grain!

They were all eaten up by locusts!

Yesterday, every household ate some locusts, and the taste was unbelievable.

"It's true! Everyone, don't make any noise!" Village Chief Li waved his hand and motioned everyone to calm down, "The Yongnian family has been living a lot better in the past few years, and they have also helped everyone. This time is also to help us tide over the difficulties. It belongs to the same village, everyone must unite in the future, if there is really a famine, let us unite and not let others bully us!"

What the village chief said was euphemistic, but many people understood.

If there is a famine, the refugees will grab food!

"Okay! Listen to the village chief!"

"Yeah, yeah! Yongnian is a good person! Now that the family has money, I still think about the people in the village!"

"It's not easy to buy coarse grains now! Fine grains can be bought, but they are too expensive, thirty cents a pound, so I don't want to eat them!"

"Village chief! When can we go to Yongnian's house to exchange food?"

"Yes, yes! Can we go now?"

...

Some people can't wait. The coarse grains are not worth a few cents as before, but life-saving grains!

It's alright now, there's still some food left, but what about in a few months?

Who can guarantee that the price of food will not rise?

"You can do it now!" said the village chief with a serious face, "but you can only send it after drying, otherwise you won't receive it!"

"Don't you have to wait for several days?" Fat aunt pouted, a little anxious to change food.

In her eyes, if she didn't have it in her hands, she felt uneasy.

Moreover, she has always been prejudiced against the Bailian family, and it is normal to complain.

"I'll say it again, at this time, no one will exchange food for locusts as easily as the Yongnian family!" Village Chief Li glared at Aunt Fatty, "If anyone makes trouble and doesn't exchange food as required, don't blame me for being rude. !"

The fat aunt pouted, seeing that the village chief had said so, she shrank her neck and did not say a word.

Everyone felt that what the village chief said made sense. Food was the most important thing at this time!

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Aunt Fatty with dissatisfaction. Fortunately, no one from the Bailian family came over.

If people hear it, and they don't exchange food when they get angry, wouldn't they have no chance to earn food?

More and more people looked at Aunt Fat with dissatisfaction. Aunt Fat was not afraid of others, and all glared back, making the villagers dislike this woman even more.

"Everyone must remember that the locusts must be clean and dried, otherwise it should be unacceptable forever. If anyone is yin and yang, don't blame me for expelling her from the village!" Village Chief Li emphasized again, glaring fiercely when he said it. A look at the fat aunt.

The people of Li Yongnian's family are so good, he really doesn't want to let the people of Li Yongnian's family feel cold.

It can be said that Li Yongnian's family will get better and better in the future. If there is his help in the village, it will indeed get better and better.

Village Chief Li is also selfish, and his selfishness is that the people in the village can live better and better under the leadership of the Yongnian family.

At the very least, everyone should not be hungry.

At the same time, he also had to beat the villagers all the time, to save them from chilling the hearts of Li Yongnian and his family.

Li Yongnian is an honest man, but he is not a fool.

The people in Mr. Li's family have endured for so many years because Mr. Li is his father.

Now, he has long seen people's hearts.

If there are people in the village who really do not know how to praise, Li Yongnian is afraid that he will not give them a chance.

The more honest people stand firm, they will never change!

"Yes, yes! The village chief said yes!"

"It should be! I'll go back and clean the locusts well, and then dry them!"

"Yes! My family has a lot of locusts! It can change a lot of food!"

...

The people in the village nodded one after another, and Aunt Fatty opened her mouth to say something unconvincing, but when she saw Village Chief Li staring at her coldly, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to say a word, so she could only nod along with everyone.

After the meeting, every household was busy.

Some old people and children cleaned the locusts at home, and then basked in the locusts in the yard at home.

The young and strong went outside to catch locusts.

People in the village now think that things like locusts are actually quite cute.

One catty of locusts and half a catty of coarse grains.

One hundred catties of locusts is fifty catties of coarse grains!

Who doesn't have a hundred catties of locusts now!

In short, if you are diligent and everyone in your family catches locusts, your income in this period can catch up with the harvest!

And no tax!

Beautiful-

After the meeting, many people came to Bai Lian's house.

They all came to ask for evidence.

It's not that I don't believe what the village chief said, but I just want to confirm.

After all, it's ridiculous to trade locusts for coarse grains.

Grandma Ciying and Li Zhao were both at home, while Bai Lian and Li Yongnian went to the town to pull food.

Grandma Ciying gave a positive answer to everyone who asked her.

Others wondered what to do with the locusts.

Grandma Ciying also answered generously, saying that it was for fodder.

It was only then that the villagers suddenly realized that the chickens and ducks at home liked to eat locusts.

But now the most important thing is people's rations, that is, Bailian's family has food before thinking about replacing people's rations with chicken and duck rations.

There was a wave of catching locusts in the village. There were too many locusts, but there were also a lot of people.

Anyway, there is no farm work anymore, and it is the truth that everyone is busy catching locusts in exchange for food when they are idle.

There are still a lot of locusts in the ground. Under this situation, it may not be possible to plant another crop of grain this year!

Bai Lian took Li Yongnian to the warehouse in the town to pull a lot of grain, and there was also grain in the space. Bai Lian took out a lot and put them in the warehouse.

"These are all sold to us?" Li Yongnian stared at the grain in the yard, wishing to quickly carry the grain home.

"Yes, as long as you want, I will give you the market price. If you buy more, it will be cheaper!" Gao He replied with a smile on his face, and made a pot of tea for Li Yongnian and Bai Lian. .

"How much cheaper?" Li Yongnian glanced at the small mountain of grain, gritted his teeth and said, "You say a total, I bought it all!"

Damn!

I used to be so hungry!

Now that I see food, Li Yongnian wants to move home!

Gao He smiled and stretched out five fingers.

"Five hundred taels?" Li Yongnian was stunned for a moment.

so cheap?

During this extraordinary period, although the grains in this area were coarse grains, they were of excellent quality.

"Yeah!" Gao He nodded and glanced at Bai Lian inadvertently, "If you think it's expensive, we can renegotiate."

"Then it's cheaper?" Li Yongnian tried to bargain.

If people say as much as they want, Li Yongnian feels that he is being taken advantage of.

"Okay, can I give you fifty taels cheaper?" Gao He nodded and said the cheap number.

Li Yongnian touched his nose, "Then- can it be cheaper?"

"Yes!" Gao He nodded, "Or you can take all four hundred taels away!"

"Can you..."

"it is good……"

After going back and forth, Li Yongnian felt that 250 taels of silver was very suitable, so he bought it with money.
