She went on to talk about other blessings given by the emperor: "Dad, Mom, we can buy pork in the future. We have more than 100 taels of silver, and pork is 100 grams per pound. In addition to pork, we can also eat the old bread we used to eat. It is very soft and the size of a palm, but it is a bit expensive. It costs one cent each. Dad and brother probably need to eat two to be full."
Lin Shucheng: "We can buy these and then sell them."
Lin Jinyue rejected it immediately: "No, it won't work. Maybe it's because we took advantage of the loophole last time and exchanged brown rice for a lot of things. Look, after the upgrade, there are a few words written next to all the brown rice products: No reselling, otherwise you will be given a red card warning."
She already has very few opportunities to get a red card warning, so she can’t lose the big picture while gaining the big picture.
Lin Shucheng asked again: "Then can we sell the crops and animals we grow?"
Lin Jinyue nodded: "This can be sold."
Lin Shucheng turned his attention to the horse again: "Hey, this horse is worth a lot of money, right?"
Lin Jinyue nodded: "Yes, horses were strategic materials in ancient times, especially roe deer, which could be sold for ten taels of silver each. Now that there is famine everywhere, the price may be several times higher."
Lin Shucheng immediately calculated, "Our family of four must buy at least one pound of meat a day, otherwise how can our bodies survive the famine? This month is six hundred taels, and we still have to buy rice and flour. There are four people in our family, and we consume a lot of energy, so we need one pound. One pound of rice costs seven taels, which means two hundred taels a month, not counting the seasonings. This more than two taels of silver is not enough to last for three months."
He then focused his attention on the horse: "If this horse can be sold for fifteen taels of silver..."
Lin Jinyue immediately protected the horse: "No, no, the horses cannot be sold. Three of the mules will stay in the space as puppies, and the other six will have to pull the cart for us. The rest will be used for breeding. Dad, you can't sell the horses."
Lin Shucheng still felt a little bit sorry: "My daughter, let's just farm honestly at night, we can save some money."
Jiang Yun glared at him: "If you want to eat meat, take Xueqing hunting. You have to keep this silver. In the future, the silver can only be used to buy rice and flour. When my daughter is hungry, she can buy meat. You have to save the silver to buy medicine in town, and also buy a pair of silver needles."
Without these things around her, Jiang Yun always felt uneasy.
The family continued walking forward, and after half an hour they finally found a forest, where they saw everyone.
Everyone was preparing to light a fire to cook. They were so tired from running that it was already afternoon and they hadn't had time to eat lunch. Everyone was very hungry.
On the way back, Lin Jinyue called the villagers to come and share the food.
Lin Jinyue wanted to share all the food, as her family also had a farm, but the village chief Lin Youcai insisted that her family take a whole bag.
She looked at the few sacks of food and nodded. It didn't matter if everyone had little food, as everyone had some mountain food, black beans and pine needles, so they would definitely not starve.
However, what Lin Jinyue didn't expect was that, originally there seemed to be five or six large sacks, but after Village Chief Lin distributed them to the ten households, only one small bag was left in the hands of each person, which looked to be about one kilogram.
Lin Jinyue looked at the rice and felt a little worried: "I spent so much effort on it, I thought it would last for a long time, but I'm afraid this rice can only last for five or six days."
At this time, a harsh voice sounded: "Oh, you really think you are a big shot. Do you think that every family distributes so much food like yours? Our food rations for most of the month are only enough for five or six days here?"
The person who spoke was Lin Jinyue's uncle, Wang Chunmei. She was the one who shouted the loudest when her original body was sold.
Wang Chunmei pointed to a cart and a large bag of grain in a corner and asked, "Why did her family not only get a cart and a horse, but also a large bag of grain?"
"There are sixty of us in total, and we share five bags. But her family of four can get a big bag? Why?"
Everyone, who had been happy about getting a bag of food, suddenly felt disappointed.
Everyone has his or her own plans when fleeing from famine, otherwise it would be difficult to survive.
But they all knew where the food came from.
Do the other fifty or so people dare to go over and rob their food?
Lin Jinyue had already done her best for their family. She was worried that they would be implicated, so she let them go first. After taking the carts, she did not forget the villagers, so she distributed the three carts and three horses to the villagers.
Unexpectedly, they could also take out the five bags of food and distribute them to the villagers. Food was so precious while fleeing from famine. Lin Jinyue had already done her best for the villagers before, and now they had brought so much food that Lin Youcai felt it was unfair to accept it.
The third brother and his family would be at a real disadvantage if they went with them.
But Boss Lin was unyielding: "Then let's go together. We have received so many things, we must share them together. Didn't we share the mountain guarding food a few days ago? Besides, when Jiang was seeing a doctor, the villagers gave her eggs. We can't always take advantage of her."
Wang Chunmei also said: "We are all said to be united and support each other, but why do you only remember your own family when you are separated?"
When everyone heard this, they all rolled their eyes.
Do you have any shame to say this?
Lin Youcai smiled bitterly and looked cautiously at Lin Jinyue and Jiang who were coming over.
Why did he feel soft-hearted at that moment and bring Lin Youliang, such a troublemaker, along?
When they fled from the famine, his family was the first to get the news, and as the village chief, he had already done his best by informing the whole village. On the way, Lin Youliang encountered constant troubles, with a shortage of food and the need to collect money for Lin Lao's medical treatment. That was fine, it was just a matter of helping out between cousins.
But Lin Youliang was confused all the way. At his old age, he couldn't see the situation clearly, and he dragged the whole village into the water. Lin Youcai absolutely couldn't tolerate this.
Lin Youcai looked at Lin Jinyue and his wife who had an ugly face, and then looked at Lin Youliang who stood there silently, waiting for his son and daughter-in-law to make a fuss.
Finally, he shook his head in disappointment and said, "If you feel that the distribution is not right, let's go separately."
Boss Lin and Wang Chunmei, who were still chattering, were unwilling to give in and knelt down in front of Lin Youcai: "Uncle, you are going to cut off our family's future!"
They knew that the village chief was a soft-hearted person. He had let them go several times after they knelt down and begged. They also wanted to give it a try this time. There was a lot of money in the bag that they would get.
Lin Youcai waved his hand: "You guys cut off the road yourself. I can't gamble the lives of the whole village for your family."
If Lin Youliang's family continues to make trouble like this, Lin Laosan's family will find it troublesome and will definitely not be able to leave with their village. By then, their chances of surviving will be very small.
During this period of time, Lin Jinyue also figured out the ancient rules, and filial piety is more important than anything else.
Wang Chunmei was right. Without the help of these people in the village these days, it would be inconvenient for their family to do many things. What's more, Lin Jinyue's family now gets along very well with the villagers and does not want to leave. It is not easy to find such a reliable ally again.
It was just that in the past few days, her uncle had been making trouble for her family from time to time, which had already made Lin Jinyue unhappy. She had been looking for an opportunity to get rid of their family.
Fleeing from famine is already stressful enough, with fear every day, and now there is also this kind of trouble, which is really unpleasant.
Lin Jinyue was just about to speak, but she didn't expect Boss Lin and Wang Chunmei to slide to their knees so quickly.
