Chapter 17 Trivia
  After Zhao Lihua washed her hands and patted the dust on her body, she greeted her men and went out.

At this time, Zhang Chengyuan spoke again: "Aunt, uncle, are they still free? I went to the mountains yesterday and caught a deer. I was thinking about building a shed for it to live in. I don't know how to do it myself, so I just wanted to find a deer. Uncle and the others will help me, and I’ll give you the wages, auntie, do you think that’s okay?”

Zhao Lihua smiled uncontrollably: "Whenever you have time, your uncle and the others are going to get you what you want today. You can go there tomorrow."

Zhang Chengyuan sighed: "I have really troubled you during this period. There are always a lot of things."

"Look at what you said, I really need to thank you from my aunt. During this period, you took care of my aunt's family and made my aunt's family make a lot of money."

Zhang Chengyuan was about to speak when he suddenly thought about buying grain and asked, "Auntie, does your family sell grain every year?"

Zhao Lihua nodded: "We will definitely sell it. We will sell the good grain and buy some brown rice to eat back. This way we can earn some hard-earned money in one year and it will be enough for the next year's expenses."

If there's nothing big going on, I might be able to save a little. "

Zhang Chengyuan nodded seriously, but she had only seen the word brown rice in novels. In fact, she had never seen brown rice at all. Now that it was mentioned, she happened to have seen it.

"Auntie, is brown rice the kind of rice that is damaged during threshing?"

Zhao Lihua secretly sighed at Zhang Orion's kindness to her daughter, saying, "That's brown rice, that's medium rice. The brown rice we usually eat in farmers is good."

Zhang Chengyuan couldn't help but asked curiously: "Auntie, what kind of rice is that brown rice?"

"Brown rice is the kind of rice that has not taken off its husk, is a little uncooked, and has a little bit of bran."

Zhang Chengyuan only had one doubt in his mind at this time, wouldn't it make his throat sound like that?

However, she would not say this out loud, as her emotional intelligence was not that low.

She brought up what she had said before: "Look, Auntie, your family wants to sell grain, and I want to buy grain. Isn't this just right? Auntie, just sell it to me."

Zhao Lihua nodded happily, but she was a little hesitant about the price. She felt a loss if she sold it at the grain dealer's price, but she would be embarrassed if she sold it at the grain shop's price.

She tentatively asked: "What's the price?"

Seeing her hesitation, Zhang Chengyuan probably guessed it, but she was not taken advantage of. Buying from a farmer was different from buying from a grain store.

"Auntie, don't you know what prices grain merchants used to charge?"

Hearing this, Zhao Lihua felt a little unhappy, but she thought about the money she had earned recently, so she suppressed her unhappiness and told the truth about the price: "The price of rice with good grains is 15 cents per catty, and the price of corn is 4 Wen per pound."

Zhang Chengyuan asked again: "What about the price of the grain store?"

"The same goes for grain stores?"

Zhao Lihua answered blankly.

Zhang Chengyuan explained: "Auntie, what I'm asking about is the price at the grain store? Not the purchase price."

Only then did Zhao Lihua realize: "Rice is eighteen cents per catty, and corn is six cents per catty."

Zhang Chengyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Auntie, I'll give you seventeen cents for rice and five cents for corn. Do you think that's okay?"

Zhao Lihua was overjoyed when she heard this and immediately agreed, then asked, "How much do you want?"

Zhang Chengyuan calculated and said: "Two hundred catties of rice, flour... Um, aunt, do you have any wheat at home?"

Zhao Lihua nodded, and Zhang Chengyuan said, "Auntie, what's the price of wheat?"

"The grain merchant harvests wheat for five cents per pound, but sells it in the shop for eight cents."

"Where's the white flour?" Zhao Lihua replied: "Nineteen cents per catty."

"Auntie, how about you sell me seven coins?"

"to make."

Zhang Chengyuan clapped his fingers again and said: "Rice is still two hundred catties, wheat is...well, five hundred catties, corn is three hundred catties, soybeans and mung beans are one hundred catties, do you have sorghum and millet? If so, I want one. One hundred kilograms, and the rest is gone for the time being.

Oh, by the way, there is also meat. Auntie, do you know where there is a meat seller? I kind of want to eat meat. "

Zhao Lihua's mind was filled with how much money the food could cost, and she didn't react for a while after hearing this question.

"What's wrong, aunt?"

Zhao Lihua subconsciously asked: "How much can those grains be sold for?"

Zhang Chengyuan calculated carefully before giving the answer: "17 cents for two hundred catties of rice is three taels and four cents of silver, 7 cents for five hundred catties of wheat is three taels and five cents of silver, and five cents and three hundred catties of corn is one tael and five cents of silver." , soybeans and mung beans... Auntie’s price..."

Zhao Lihua's eyes seemed to have the look of money, and she immediately answered: "The grain merchants charge 2 cents for soybeans and 5 cents for mung beans, and the grain shops sell 4 cents for soybeans and 8 cents for mung beans."

"That's fifty kilograms each. I'll give you 3 Wen for soybeans, 7 Wen for mung beans, 150 Wen plus 350 Wen, a total of 500 Wen."

As soon as Zhang Chengyuan finished speaking, Zhao Lihua quickly picked up: "The sorghum grain merchant takes 3 cents, and millet is also 2 cents. The grain store charges 5 cents for sorghum and 4 cents for millet."

Zhang Chengyuan looked at the extremely positive Zhao Lihua, smiled helplessly, and continued following her instructions: "The same is fifty kilograms each, sorghum is calculated as 4 fen, millet is 3 fen, 200 fen plus 150 fen, a total of 350 jin."

Zhao Lihua asked sincerely again: "How much is the total?"

Zhang Chengyuan paused. He had forgotten what he had calculated before, so he had to start over. It took him a while to figure it out: "Nine taels and two hundred and fifty cents."

Zhao Lihua's eyes widened. It was so much. It was only a little more than twelve taels a year ago, but now it is more than nine taels. Just thinking about it makes her heartache.

However, this is not the most important thing. Zhao Lihua enthusiastically held Zhang Chengyuan's arm, fearing that she would run away, and said eagerly: "Go back in a while, and my aunt will send you the food that I have now."

Zhang Chengyuan was naturally happy: "Okay."

Zhao Lihua couldn't wait to get the answer she wanted. She almost dragged Zhang Chengyuan forward, and soon arrived at the village chief's house.

It has to be said that the village chief is also an official, and the house is better than that of the people in the village. Not only does it look bigger, it covers an area of ​​​​light, and the house looks like it has been renovated not long ago.

Zhao Lihua called the door actively: "Village Chief, are you at home?"

"Here, what's going on?"

When Zhao Lihua heard that there was someone in the house, she immediately pulled Zhang Chengyuan and rushed in. She happened to meet the old village chief who came out of the house and said immediately: "Village chief, I am bringing the daughter of Zhang Orion's family to buy land. Please tell me." Where can I find a suitable one?"

The village chief knocked the ground with his hand and said with a tigerish face: "Why are you so anxious? Speak up."

Zhang Chengyuan smiled and pulled Zhao Lihua, and said to herself: "Village chief, I am Zhang Chengyuan, the daughter of Zhang Orion's family. I just came out of filial piety some time ago. I am not young anymore, and I don't know what will happen in the future.

I just thought, while I still have some money in my hand, I can buy some land so that I can have a place to live in the future. No matter how well I take care of it, I won't starve to death. "

As if his passive was triggered, the village chief faced the person: "Orion's daughter Cheng Yuan is quite smart. Okay, what land are you going to buy? How much?"

"I want to ask about the price first before making any plans."

The village chief nodded and said, "Okay, let me tell you first. Good farmland is now worth twelve taels per acre, inferior land is six to eighty taels per acre, and wasteland is worth 1 tael per acre."
