I escaped from natural disasters and won by relying on the system.
Chapter 179: Sand for Food
Lin Chenyu nodded affirmatively again.
The people behind Xu Sanjin were all excited. Even the worldly-wise Xu Sanjin clenched his hands excitedly, trying hard not to lose his composure.
After calming down for a while, Xu Sanjin continued to ask: "How do you want to exchange for this grain, sir?"
Lin Chenyu said: "I have sweet potatoes, potatoes, brown rice, polished rice, corn, dark flour, white flour, cornmeal and other grains here.
Fifty kilograms of sand can be exchanged for one kilogram of sweet potatoes and potatoes.
One kilogram of brown rice or corn can be exchanged for eighty kilograms of sand.
One pound of black flour and corn flour can be exchanged for one hundred pounds of sand.
One hundred and fifty catties of sand are used to exchange one catty of refined rice and flour."
When Xu Sanjin heard this, he realized that there is no free lunch in this world.
But there is not much else in the desert except sand.
It is not a problem for each of them to load at least 1,000 kilograms of sand a day.
So Xu Sanjin took Lin Chenyu and the others to a reed forest 500 meters away from the lake to rest.
Only then did Lin Chenyu see clearly that there were actually a number of round, reed-woven small houses in the reed forest.
Lin Chenyu drove the camel in, and the others did not get off the car.
After all, the environment in the car is much better than outside.
It can also prevent wind and sand.
Seeing that Lin Chenyu had no intention of coming down, Xu Sanjin did not hesitate.
He turned around and went back into the small house and brought out some fruits.
Seeing that Lin Chenyu didn't eat any, Xu Sanjin explained: "These are fruits that grow in our desert. They are very sweet. Try some."
Lin Chenyu ate one and gave the rest to his wife and Old Lady Jiang.
Only then did Xu Sanjin notice that there was a kind-looking old lady and a pretty girl in the car.
He quickly saluted the two of them.
Lin Ke and the other two also returned the same gift.
At this time, many more women and children came to the reeds.
I guess he came out of the dugout after making sure it was safe above.
These people have one distinctive feature, that is, they are all tanned and have a rosy face.
They all looked at Lin Ke and her companions and their carriage curiously.
But no one dared to come forward and talk to them.
Old Mrs. Jiang took a few apricots and gave them to the children who were closest to her.
The children took a step back and did not dare to reach out to take the things in Old Lady Jiang's hand.
It was not until Old Lady Jiang got off the carriage, took a small basket, and distributed apricots to the women and children.
The children looked at their parents' faces and saw their parents nodded, then they quickly reached out and took the bright yellow apricots from Old Lady Jiang's hand.
Some children couldn't wait to stuff the apricots into their mouths.
His facial features were immediately wrinkled by the jealousy.
But I still can't bear to spit it out.
Because this fruit is so juicy, when you take a bite your mouth is full of juice and it feels like a lot of saliva is secreted in your mouth.
After chewing a few more times, the sweetness finally came out.
Sour and sweet, wow, so delicious.
The children immediately smiled with satisfaction and happiness again.
The others looked at their rich expressions and for a moment didn't know whether to eat or not.
But after hearing the children's whispers, he put the bright yellow fruit in his hand into his mouth.
Some women were reluctant to eat the fruit and wanted to save it for their men.
Old Mrs. Jiang didn't care when she saw this. After distributing the fruits, she took advantage of her old age and started chatting with the older women.
Although Lin Ke still looked like a child, she really had nothing in common with the children, so she sat on the shaft of the carriage and listened to others chatting.
After a while, someone came over carrying a large sack of sand.
Lai Fu quickly took out the scale he used in Banpo Village and started weighing.
A sack of sand, two hundred kilograms.
This person wants to switch to brown rice.
Lai Fu weighed out four pounds of brown rice for him.
Only when they actually got the brown rice in their hands did they believe that these nobles were really willing to let them exchange sand for food.
Seeing this scene, the women and children could no longer stay there.
They all rushed to dig in the sand.
Each of them can bring back at least several hundred kilograms of sand every day, which can be exchanged for a lot of food.
Old Lady Jiang and Lin Chenyu did not stop them and let them go.
The few of them leisurely ate lunch in the reed marsh, played a few rounds of mahjong, and then began to practice.
It was not until the clouds in the sky turned red that people began to return one after another.
Lai Fu and Xiao Wei both became busy.
I was busy until the moon was high in the sky before I finally finished.
Everyone received 20 to 30 kilograms of food.
Even the children received at least one pound of food.
For these desert people, this is simply pie in the sky.
You have to know that every time they go out to buy food, they lose several people.
After going through a lot of hardships, they could only bring back a few hundred kilograms of food.
The tribesmen tightened their belts and only managed to avoid starvation by relying on the occasional fruits they found in the desert.
But today, in just one day, all of them harvested hundreds to thousands of kilograms of grain.
If this isn’t pie in the sky, what is this?
Xu Sanjin felt uneasy and wanted to do something to repay those noble people.
Lin Chenyu told him: "Then you can exchange more of the wild fruits you pick with me. My grandma likes to eat your fruits."
In fact, it was because Lin Ke had identified them before. These fruits include dates, sea buckthorn, desert fruit, dried figs, wolfberry, sand date, Cistanche deserticola, etc.
These fruits not only have a unique taste and flavor, but are also very nutritious.
In particular, Cistanche deserticola, known as the desert ginseng, has the effects of nourishing kidney yang, benefiting essence and blood, and moistening the intestines and promoting bowel movements.
It has high medicinal value.
The value of these things is much higher than that of food.
So Lin Ke decided to collect as much as he could.
After all, these things can only be seen in the desert.
Lin Ke also had another idea.
I want to get these people to try growing watermelons and melons in the desert.
The temperature difference between morning and night is large here, and the fruits grown here are all pure sweet.
If you plant watermelons and melons, the melons will be so sweet when they grow.
There are also potatoes. I heard in my previous life that the potatoes in the northwest are delicious. If I have the chance, I will let these people plant more.
Not only can it solve the food problem of these people, but it can also improve their seeds.
This way the seeds will also be able to adapt to the heat of the next three years.
When Xu Sanjin heard that the nobles liked the wild fruits they picked.
Someone was immediately arranged to pick fruits for the nobles the next day.
Anyway, they are a group, and food will be distributed together when the time comes.
So those who were arranged to pick fruit tomorrow had no reluctance at all.
Seeing this, Lin Chenyu quickly suggested that they had nothing to do and wanted to go pick fruit with the older sisters.
Xu Sanjin agreed without hesitation.
He also asked several women to take good care of the nobles.
