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

"Huh? Yongnian's family collects locusts? One catty of locusts can be exchanged for half a catty of coarse grain?"

"Really? A dozen sacks in my house!"

"There are still some locusts in the ground, if it is true, my whole family will catch them!"

...

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

Food is very tight now!

There are a lot of locusts on the ground, but the coarse grains are gone!

They are all eaten by locusts!

Every household ate some locusts yesterday, and the taste was unflattering.

"It's true! Don't make noise!" Village Chief Li waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. "The Yongnian family's life has improved a lot in the past few years, and they did not help everyone less. This time is also to help us tide over the difficulties. It's from the same village. Everyone must unite in the future. If there is a real famine, let us unite and not let others bully us!"

The village chief was euphemistic, but many people understood it.

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

"Good, good! Listen to the village chief!"

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

"Coarse grains are not easy to buy now! Fine grains can be bought, but they are too expensive. I don't want to eat them for 30 cents a catty!"

"The village chief! When can we go to Yongnian's house to change food?"

"Yes, yes! Can we go now?"

...

Some people can't wait any longer. The coarse grains nowadays are not worth a few cents as before, but food that can save lives!

It's okay now, there is still some grain in stock, but what about a few months later?

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

"It's okay now!" said the village chief with a serious face, "but everyone can only deliver it after drying, otherwise it won't be accepted!"

"Don't you have to wait for several days?" The fat aunt curled her lips, a little anxious to change food.

In her eyes, her heart is not at ease without getting her hands.

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

"I'll say it again, no one will exchange grain for locusts like Yongnian's at this time!" Village Chief Li cast a sharp look at the fat aunt. "If anyone makes trouble and doesn't change food as required, don't blame me at that time. !"

The fat aunt curled her lips and saw that the village chief said so, she shrank her neck without saying a word.

Everyone felt that what the village chief said was reasonable, and food was the most important thing at this time!

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Fat Aunt dissatisfied, but fortunately, no one from Bai Lian came over.

If people hear this and they stop changing food when they get angry, wouldn't everyone have no chance to earn food?

More and more people looked at the fat aunt with dissatisfaction. The fat aunt was not afraid of others, so she stared back, making the villagers dislike this woman even more.

"Everyone must remember that the locusts must be cleaned and dried, otherwise it should be never harvested. If anyone is yin and yang, don't blame me for driving her out of the village!" Village Chief Li emphasized again, staring fiercely when he said it. Glancing at the fat aunt.

The Li Yongnian family is so good, he really doesn't want to let the Li Yongnian family chill.

It can be said that Li Yongnian's family will get better and better in the future, and if the village has his help, 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 shouldn't be hungry.

At the same time, he must also beat the people in the village all the time, so that they chilled the hearts of Li Yongnian and his family.

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

He has endured the old man's family for so many years because he is his father.

Now, he had already seen people's hearts clearly.

If the villagers really do not know how to praise, Li Yongnian is afraid that it will be a chance and he is not willing to give them.

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

"Yes, yes! What the village chief said!"

"Yes! I will go back and clean the locusts and dry them!"

"Yes! There are so many locusts in my family! I can exchange a lot of food!"

...

The people in the village nodded one after another. The fat aunt opened her mouth to say something unconvincing, but when she saw Chief Li staring at her coldly, she was so scared that she didn't dare to say anything, so she could only nod with everyone.

After the meeting, every household became busy.

Some elderly and children clean the locusts at home, and then basking in the yard at home.

The young and strong people ran outside to catch locusts.

People in the village now think that locusts are actually still-pretty cute.

A catty of locusts is half a catty of coarse grains.

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

Nobody has a hundred catties of locusts now!

In short, if you are more diligent and your family is all about catching locusts, your income for a while can catch up with the harvest!

And there is no tax!

Beauty--

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

All came to verify.

Either he didn't believe the village chief's words, or he wanted to confirm.

After all, it is ridiculous to exchange locusts for coarse grains.

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

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

Some people wondered what to do with the locusts.

Grandma Ciying also answered generously, saying that she was making feed.

The villagers suddenly realized that the chickens and ducks at home love to eat locusts.

But now the most important thing is the rations of people, that is, when Bai Lian has food in her family, she wants to replace people's rations with those of chickens and ducks.

The village ushered in a wave of catching locusts. There are too many locusts, but there are also many people.

Anyway, there is no farming anymore. The truth is when everyone is idle or hurriedly catching locusts for food.

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

Bai Lian took Li Yongnian and pulled a lot of grain in the warehouse in the town. There was also grain in the space. Bai Lian took out a lot and put it in the warehouse.

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

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

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

Damn it!

I was too hungry before!

Now that Li Yongnian sees grain, he wants to move home!

Gao He smiled and stretched out five fingers.

"Five hundred taels?" Li Yongnian was taken aback.

so cheap?

In this extraordinary period, although the grains in this area are coarse grains, they are also very good.

"Yeah!" Gao He nodded, and glanced at Bai Lian casually, "If you think it's expensive, we can also discuss it again."

"So cheaper?" Li Yongnian tried to bargain.

If people say as much as they want, Li Yongnian feels a little bit taken advantage of.

"Okay, can't you get 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 coming and going, Li Yongnian felt that two hundred fifty taels of silver was appropriate, so he paid for it.
