Chapter 1003 Changes to Cornmeal

Chapter 1003 All cornmeals are replaced

Everyone agreed without hesitation, and no one competed with Cuihua'er's family.

Without them, I wouldn't get any news.

No one is afraid of not involving money transactions, nor is it afraid of someone rumoring to attract black market patrolmen.

What's wrong with using wild vegetables to exchange for food?

The country allows the people to exchange one pound of fine grain for three or four pounds of coarse grain!

Li Xingxing is not very good at using this old-fashioned scale, which has a weight, a scale plate, and a scale rod has a scale.

So Xia Mingxing weighed, she settled the accounts, converted them into food, weighed them according to the other party's needs, and put them in the cloth bag they brought with them, with patches on it.

If the weight of wild vegetables is a little bit different, Li Xingxing often calculates integers for them.

Everyone was even happier.

Even if you have one or two more taels, you can make one more meal.

They are so lucky!

When you meet such a kind-hearted person, I really have to thank Cuihuaer for informing them.

Moreover, they all have to change cornmeal because one pound of cornmeal can be exchanged for three pounds of dried sweet potatoes!

Cuihua'er and the three of them are not the most diligent. They exchanged 24 and a half kilograms of wild vegetables for five kilograms of cornmeal. The most diligent woman brought 39 kilograms of wild vegetables!

Two-thirds of them are shepherd's purse, which is particularly tender.

I don't know how she did it.

Although there are many quantities, the quality is not worse than others, and the bracken is tied neatly with straw ropes.

Li Xingxing packed her eight kilograms of cornmeal, and she kept bowing to Li Xingxing, "Thank you! Thank you, kind-hearted person! Will you still come to collect it tomorrow? I will go home and ask my mother-in-law and my daughter to dig wild vegetables again! The weather is warmer, and it will be better to pop up in one night. We can go further in groups and we can always find it."

Li Xingxing calculated his school start time, "I received the day before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

In this way, they can exchange more food for the Lantern Festival.

During the exchange, she knew that the group of people came from shanty towns, and they were relatively remote from the inner city.

Cuihua Niang hesitated for a moment and spoke carefully: "In fact, after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, more wild vegetables are coming out. There are new ones growing every day in the spring, especially lush, and there are also Chinese toon buds, thorn buds, elm seeds, and locust flowers. There are not yet at this time!"

Li Xingxing smiled, "I'm going to school, I don't have time to come."

A hint of disappointment appeared on everyone's faces.

But Xia Mingxing said: "It's not impossible."

"Hmm? What's the solution?" Everyone's eyes lit up when Li Xingxing asked.

Xia Mingxing smiled and said, "I asked Xiaodouzi to collect it. Anyway, he worked as a laborer at the dock and did not have a serious job. It would be better to let him collect wild vegetables for us. Let's give him some food as a reward. Wouldn't everyone be happy?"

They can often eat wild vegetables, beans and those who use wild vegetables to exchange grains have also been supplemented.

Xia Mingxing always remembers what Xiaodouzi gave Li Xingxing.

When Li Xingxing heard this, he couldn't help but nodded: "Good solution! At that time, Chinese toon sprouts mixed with tofu, locust flower cakes, and steamed elm seeds can appear on our dining table!"

What are the thorny buds? She hasn't eaten them before, so she has to try them out.

Cuihua'er also gave them an idea: "Some wild vegetables can be dried and preserved. Dried amaranth and purslane are soaked in water in winter, add some lard residue, and make buns fragrant! I ate them when I was a child."

Later, when the planned economy was implemented, I encountered food difficulties in recent years, and I would never have such treatment to enjoy.

Li Xingxing wants to eat.
