Chapter 201: Grain for Field
However, the Cheng family had a small family background. After settling in Qingshan Village, they built a house. Although the house was not a blue brick house, the roof was at least covered with green tiles, which was much better than the adobe thatch-roofed house built by the Huang family before.
"The Cheng family is a leader who traveled around the world. A few days ago, they were afraid that they had made some money. Their family bought a house in the town, but now they are in trouble. Their family confiscated the food, and they are afraid that they have plans to exchange all the fields for food. They plan to move to the town to live, and not come back to live in the village."
But Huang Congjiang was a difficult person. After thinking about it, he said, "This is how! I have some food in my family, and I can change it, but how to change it."
"The Cheng family leader said before that their family has two acres of dry land and one acre of paddy fields, which can be exchanged for all of them for grain. If it is changed, their family will sell five taels of silver for dry land and seven and half taels of paddy fields.
As for the grain exchanged, one pound of black noodles is ten copper plates per pound, one pound of sweet potatoes or potatoes, eight copper plates per pound, sweet potato noodles, and fifteen copper plates per pound of corn flour are said in surprise. Village Chief Zhang looked at Huang Congjianghou in back.
Village Chief Zhang did not expect that the Huang family could actually take out grain to exchange for the fields.
Nowadays, every household in the village has suffered disasters, and no amount of food is collected in the fields.
It is not enough to pay taxes, and it also needs to pay taxes from the grain subsidies collected in previous years. Now the food in the villagers' homes is almost overwhelming.
If you can't collect food next year, you'll be really going to starve to death.
"Although my family's land does not collect much food this year, fortunately, I don't have to pay taxes on my family's land. Instead, I collect not only enough food for my family, but also the rest is not.
Before the disaster, my mother saw that the opportunity was not good, so she took out most of the money from the house and sold grain to garrison it. Now the family has garrisoned some grain, and it is not impossible to exchange surplus grain for some things." Huang Congjiang explained a few words.
"That's true." Village Chief Zhang's mind changed, and after thinking about something, he nodded with consent.
Now the grain is valuable, and there is no market. If every household collects the grain on the spot, the grain stored will be worthless.
"Missar, my family exchanges grain for land, so I changed it with the Cheng family. However, the Cheng family has a bit of price reduction. One pound of black noodles costs 12 copper plates, potatoes and sweet potatoes, and ten copper plates per pound. If the Cheng family is willing to change it, my family will change it. If it doesn't change it, then forget it."
"Sure, I'll communicate with your family about this matter, let's talk about it tomorrow." Village Chief Zhang nodded.
The next day, Village Chief Zhang sent a message saying that the Cheng family asked the Huang family to exchange all their family's one acre of paddy fields and two acres of dry land for grain, so according to the price of Huang Congjiang's previous statement to exchange for grain.
Huang Congjiang naturally had no objection, but what he asked was that the exchanged grain, 500 kilograms of black noodles, 400 kilograms of sweet potatoes and 400 kilograms of potatoes, were enough to exchange for the three acres of land of Cheng's family, and the excess was considered.
The Cheng family wanted to replace all the grain with black noodles before, but now there are not many grains in every household, so they are afraid that the village will not have this store. In addition, the Cheng family agreed and everyone was happy.
