The Siheyuan started with the young He Yuzhu

Chapter 215 Grain for game

"Jingru, did your sister ask you to bring these back?"

"Yeah, my sister said that if it's not enough, I'll go to the city to ask for it."

"My God, it weighs hundreds of catties."

"Five hundred catties of grain! Not only rice, but also cornmeal and white flour!"

"Cob noodles! And white flour?"

"Yes, fifty catties of cornmeal and thirty catties of white flour!!"

Cornmeal is also cornmeal. This stuff is a rare commodity, and people in the Forty-Nine City eat very little of it.

White noodles are even more precious. Except for those during the holidays, most people are really reluctant to buy them because they are too expensive.Perhaps because of being flattered, Qin Jingru felt ecstatic, as if she had become Qin Huairu in the city, walked to the side of the goods, picked up a big sack full of things, grabbed several handfuls of candy from it, and said: " Come, everyone, take some candy and go back."

As soon as the words were finished, the elderly and children in the village came forward to receive the candies one after another. Those who got the candies were all nice and nice.

The boasted Qin Jingru was about to float into the sky.

"Pig! A pig! Look at Da Zhuang coming with a pig on his back!" The unknown person roared.Instantly caught everyone's attention.

At this time, the production team just came back from work in the field. On a road, there were more than 200 people, both men and women. When they saw Da Zhuang at the entrance of the village, he was carrying a big white pig on his back.

In an instant, the whole village became a sensation!After a while.It was supposed to be meal time.But the people in the village have no intention of eating.

Hundreds of people, all rushed to the door of Qin Huairu's house, and saw the two slaughtered big fat pigs placed on two wooden boards, their eyes were so greedy.

Da Zhuang on the side held the butcher's knife with excitement on his face, and was ready to start cutting up the pork.

Qin Weimin, the village party secretary who communicated with He Yuzhu, took the lead and stood in front of the two pigs, and said loudly: "Folks, Boss He said that he learned that Qinjia Village has suffered a severe drought recently and there is not enough food, so he brought some The food is here, and I want to exchange some game or mountain products with you, and these pork can also be exchanged."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was boiling.

Wild game, mountain products, etc., can't compare to the fragrance of pork and rice.They all swarmed home to see if there were any mountain goods.

The only hunter in the village, Qin Dashan, was even more excited and ran home with his son. He only caught two pheasants two days ago.But now that someone is willing to exchange rice, he is naturally very happy.

"Secretary Qin, I hope that people in the village will not tell outsiders about this."

Seeing that everyone had dispersed, He Yuzhu walked up to Qin Weimin and said. "Don't worry, Boss, the people in the village are very tight-lipped. If you don't worry, I'll remind you again later. Whoever speaks out will be the enemy of our entire Qin Family Village!"

Don't look at the fact that Qinjia Village has now been merged into the Hongxing Dam Commune.But it's only been less than a year.In the current drought year, Qin Weimin is from the Qin family village, so he naturally cares about the villagers.

So hearing what He Yuzhu said, he also patted his chest to assure that outsiders except the villagers would never know about the exchange of things today.

"Two pheasants, a total of four catties and five taels!" The village party secretary Qin Weimin helped to weigh the two pheasants with a weight on the side. After calculating the weight of the two pheasants sent by Qin Dashan in the village, he said to Qin Dazhuang who was sharpening his knife: "Da Zhuang, cut nine catties of pork for you, Uncle Da Shan!"

"Okay!" Da Zhuang excitedly picked up the butcher's knife, looked at Qin Dashan and asked, "Uncle Dashan, where do you want the meat from?"

"Fat meat, I want all fat meat!" Qin Dashan was so excited, he didn't expect that one catty of pheasant meat could be exchanged for two catties of pork.

If he had known this earlier, he should have gone to the mountains to hunt more after finishing his farm work these days!

If you catch two rabbits, or a deer, wouldn't you be able to exchange for more pork?

"Fat meat? Good!" Qin Dazhuang raised a knife in his hand, cut off a piece of pork fat, and threw it to the village secretary beside him: "Uncle Weimin, look at the weight."

"Eight catties and one tael, and cut another piece."

"Okay." After cutting another piece and making up ten catties of fat pork, Da Zhuang handed the fat meat to Qin Dashan.

"Meat! Meat!" Qin Dashan held the white fat meat in both hands, his eyes were fixed, and he was so excited.

And the villagers nearby saw that Qin Dashan had exchanged ten catties of fat meat, and they were all envious, but they were busy fetching water from the reservoir recently, and rarely went to the mountains to catch game.Some children in the family, when they are free, step on some mushrooms and hazelnuts at the foot of the nearby mountain, and take them home to dry and eat.

"Da Zhuang, look at me, can you exchange some rice for me?!" A young man in his 30s held a basket full of hazelnuts in both hands, and handed them to Da Zhuang expectantly.

"This..." Seeing the hazelnut, Da Zhuang frowned. Although this food tastes good, it is not filling at all. He hesitated to look at He Yuzhu who was sitting in the back chatting with Qin Huairu's parents and others.

He Yuzhu, who heard the news, raised his eyes and saw that it was Chinese chestnut, which tastes very good, "Okay, hazelnuts can..."

When he was about to say that he could change it, Qin Huairu's father hurriedly said: "Boss, if you like eating hazelnuts, tell me that there are a lot of them at home, all of which are picked from the mountains."

"A lot of these things?" He Yuzhu was taken aback. "It's everywhere on the top of the mountain. The children of the family, when they are free, go to the mountain to pick up some."

As soon as Qin Huairu's father finished speaking, a few villagers said, "I said Sanzi, how can you lie to the boss? You have hazelnuts all over the mountain, and you have a conscience if you exchange them for rice?"

"That's right, Sanzi, if you exchange hazelnuts and everyone else exchanges hazelnuts, wouldn't the boss be at a loss?"

As soon as the words came out, the person who asked to exchange hazelnuts for rice took the hazelnuts back in embarrassment, and ran away in despair.

Hazelnuts are also mountain chestnuts, which are rare in some places and may not be seen at all, but they are very common in Qinjia Village, because there is a hazelnut forest on the mountain, and it is everywhere in August and September.

"Come on, Da Zhuang, I have eight catties of wild mushrooms! Give me some stick noodles!" A man next to him walked over and exposed the wild mushrooms in the basket on his hand.

"Okay, one catty of wild mushrooms and one catty of stick noodles!" Da Zhuang immediately asked the nearby village party secretary to help weigh it, and after confirming it, he changed it to another eight catties of stick noodles.Maybe it was a little busy with efficiency, Qin Huairu's mother, and Qin's second aunt took the initiative to help.Looking at the methodical exchange of food for the villagers in front of them.

He Yuzhu said to Chen Jiuxiang's father, "Second Uncle Chen, after we finish changing our things, we will go directly to the city by bus."

"Now? But I still have to work in the afternoon." Although Second Uncle Qin saw his precious grandson very early, how can he live? If his family doesn't work in the afternoon, they will lose six or seven work points!That's two cents!
"It's better to go early than to be late. You passed this afternoon. If the time is fast, you can come back tomorrow afternoon."

He Yuzhu can understand the mentality of the second uncle at this time. After all, it is a drought year, and he doesn't work much to get work points. He can't afford to support a family, especially Da Zhuang. This 15-year-old is 1.9 meters tall, and he is as burly as a brown bear child.
