I traveled through time, this is unscientific

Chapter 133: Food Exchange

133 Food Exchange

Yes! This time, the food we bought from Kuching County was distributed to each household based on the number of people, but only a few kilograms.

And I heard from people who went there that food prices in Kuching County have increased.

This time they purchased the food at the previous price, and next time they go to buy food, they will have to spend more money.

Everyone looked at Zhou Xiaozhou with some scrutiny.

Zhou Xiaozhou was not afraid and let them see it openly with a kind smile on his face.

"I don't know how things are usually changed in our area. Village Chief Wu, please tell me about it."

Zhou Xiaozhou's move of using little force to achieve a great effect is a true inheritance from Old Zhou.

Are you kidding? How would she know the prices in this place?

But Lao Zhou said so!

Sometimes you seem to be giving the right to speak to others, but in fact you are taking the initiative into your own hands.

Lao Zhou really doesn’t lie.

"In the village, people usually barter. There is no set number."

It all depends on whether the thing is needed urgently or not. Old Wu kept this in mind and didn't say anything.

Because now they are in Lai'an Village due to lack of food and are at a disadvantage.

Of course, you can't tell everything to others.

“Food is sold at a price in Kuching County.”

After Old Wu finished speaking, he stopped talking.

Zhou Xiaozhou said quickly: "I have been to Kuching County. Before the price increase, the mixed noodles were 500 coins per 100 catties, or 5 coins per catty. Now the price has increased, and it is 6 coins per catty."

But Zhou Xiaozhou was in a dilemma. Where could she find mixed noodles for them?

It would be better to give them rice!

This stuff is everywhere in supermarkets, and it’s cheap at only two yuan per pound.

"Village Chief Wu, you see, I want to give back to the villagers who helped me, so why don't you decide the price?"

He looked at Old Wu with an incredible look.

Zhou Xiaozhou knew that he had made the right move.

Old Wu didn't expect Master Zhou to be so generous and directly give them the pricing power.

The people around him, young and old, all had expressions of excitement that they couldn't hide.

But then I became worried again.

They have no money.

"Master Zhou is righteous, but the village is poor!"

Is this a scam?

Zhou Xiaozhou couldn't believe it.

Even though I have shown so much sincerity, Old Wu still wants to lower the price.

Fortunately, she was prepared.

"So, didn't I just say it? It doesn't matter what, as long as we exchange it for food."

This is Zhou Xiaozhou's bottom line.

As for the price issue, let them worry about it themselves!

"whatever?"

"whatever?"

Li Dahu was the first to ask this question.

The second sentence, half a beat slower, was said by Wu Wu.

"Anything is fine. The red fruits I picked from the mountains with the children some time ago and the dragon bone grass I dug will do."

These are all good things I have never seen before!

It also has medicinal value and they are all wild, so it must have some value!

Red fruit?

When little Wu Xiaobao heard this, he couldn't stay any longer and ran back to the house.

My second uncle went up the mountain today and brought some back for him.

I don’t know where it was found, it’s so big and sweet.

"Teacher Zhou, look."

Looking at the red fruits that Wu Xiaobao took out like he was presenting a treasure.

Zhou Xiaozhou almost wanted to laugh. This was like falling asleep and finding a pillow. Everything he wished for came true!

Thanks to her little fan classmate Wu Xiaobao.

"Yes, that's right. I like this red fruit very much. If you have it, you can exchange it with me for food."

Wu Wu immediately wanted to take Wu Xiaobao's red fruit.

Although Wu Xiaobao was small, he was not stupid. He turned sideways and refused to give it to her.

There is no reason to take back something you have given away.

This brat.

Wu Wu rolled his eyes and looked at Wu Xiaobao's little eyes. What else could he not understand?

It’s not that he wanted to take it back, he’s not that kind of person. This kid must not trust him at all!

He was just itching to pick it up and take a look at how this wild fruit could be exchanged for food.

amazing!

"Is it true that anything can be exchanged for food?"

Old Wu didn't believe Zhou Xiaozhou's nonsense.

There is no one who does good things purely like this.

"I'd like to trouble you to check this for me. If someone just takes a stick and exchanges it for food, wouldn't the villagers be at a disadvantage?"

Ok?

No one understood for a moment.

Exchanging roadside sticks for food is a great bargain, so how can it still be a loss?

But if you think about it again, you will understand.

These black-hearted people can exchange worthless things for food. Aren’t those kind-hearted people who exchange valuable things for food at a disadvantage?

Old Wu only thought about it for a moment before agreeing.

In fact, there is nothing to worry about.

Only when water is poured on the fields can the wheat be filled with grain.

It will take some time before it matures.

It is really a time of famine. Sending food to them in An Village at this time would be like a living Bodhisattva saving their lives.

Even if they exchanged things for food, they would still make a profit.

"That's fine. Since Master Zhou is willing to help, I will thank Master Zhou on behalf of everyone in Lai'an Village."

Seeing that everyone had finished discussing the important matters, Wu Sanmei came over with two bowls of vegetable porridge.

When Sister Zhou left at noon, she said she would not be back for dinner, so she naturally did not make her portion.

This was what she and her mother just made in the kitchen.

"Sister Zhou, this is for you."

"I won't eat Third Sister's meal. I have something I want to ask you for help with."

Ask her for help? What can she do to help? Wu Sanmei was puzzled.

"Did you give all the dragon bone grass that Zhang Gou'er dug up last time to Doctor Qian Man?"

Wu Sanmei nodded. Whenever there were good herbs in the village, they would send them to Qianman.

The price was fair and we didn't have to make a separate trip to Kuching County. We were all very satisfied.

"Is that so! I was thinking if I could bring some herbs back and ask my family to help identify some of them, and then I could let everyone exchange herbs for food."

Upon hearing this, everyone present became restless.

It is true that you have to pay a lot to pick good medicinal herbs in this village, but which household doesn’t have some medicinal herbs for treating headaches and fevers?

And if you look on the mountain, aren't there large areas of medicinal herbs?

If all this can be exchanged for food, would you still be afraid of starving to death?

Seeing that everyone was interested, Zhou Xiaozhou decided to add fuel to the fire.

"Besides, aren't there a lot of stones of various colors in this mountain?"

"Zhao Xiaoer picked up a piece last time, and I quite like it."

"Children often run around in the mountains. If they find some beautiful stones or strange things, they can bring them to me. If there's something I like, I'll exchange it for food."

Isn't this the same as giving it away for free? Li Dahu was itching to do it.

It made him want to go up the mountain to help pick up stones and pick fruits.

Old Wu seems to have gotten a taste of the situation. Does he want to know what they have here?

Seeing that someone had taken the bait, Zhou Xiaozhou finally threw out a few words.

"Actually, I have another idea, but I don't know whether I should say it?"
