Looking at the thing covered by grass, Zhang Chengzhong asked:
"How many pounds of beef do you have? How much grain do you plan to exchange it for? If it's the meat of a whole cow, I'm afraid the grain alone won't be enough."
These days, both grain and meat are scarce commodities. Meat is coveted by those who have some money, while coarse grains are in short supply for most ordinary people.
Both of these are scarce goods, especially meat.
But he had basically sold all the coarse grains and fine grains he had.
The new food has not arrived yet, and the total amount of coarse and fine grains left in his hands is less than 1,500 kilograms.

But those big factories only pay money when buying meat, but they don’t provide food.
He got the beef in order to exchange it for food, so he divided the beef into several parts.

He had about 1,000 kilograms of coarse grains and 300 kilograms of fine grains, which were not enough to exchange for all the meat.
