Xu Manman understood. It was true that they had been working for too short a time. They had only been there for over a month, and she had only earned 4 work points a day at the beginning.
"I see. Thank you, Zhang Zhiqing. I'd like to ask, is there a limit on the amount of grain I can buy from the village? What's the maximum amount of fine grain I can buy? What's the maximum amount of coarse grain I can buy?"
"I did ask about that. The maximum amount per person is no more than 400 kilograms, all raw grains. If you want sweet potatoes and potatoes, you can get a little more."
Xu Manman nodded, "Okay, I understand, thank you."
Zhang Yuan looked at Xu Manman's expression and should have known what was going on. "Did you bring it today? Do you want me to lend it to you first?"
Xu Manman looked up at Zhang Yuan and understood immediately. She smiled and bought a shoulder bag, "Always be prepared. Thank you, Zhang Zhiqing." Although he didn't need to borrow money, he had the intention and took the initiative to ask, so Xu Manman was grateful.
Zhang Yuan was also amused by her. "Okay, I'll go back and talk to Li Zhiqing and Liu Zhiqing about this."
After saying goodbye to Xu Manman, Zhang Yuan walked towards the back.
Xu Manman was thinking that the most commonly grown crops in the north are wheat and corn, with very little rice. So the food available in the village today is basically wheat, corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes. Although there is a lot of food in the space, she still has to buy what she needs. If she can't finish it, she can share some with her cousin.
They are all raw grains, and they have to be processed and peeled after purchase, so there is less edible food. So we have to buy as much as possible. Xu Manman decided to buy 120 kilograms of wheat, 120 kilograms of corn, and an extra 80 kilograms of sweet potatoes. This should not be too much.
After Zhang Yuan notified everyone, he turned around and came back to carry his own food, one sack at a time. Zhan Tianqi had also bought food in front of him and was also carrying it back one sack at a time. Xu Manman looked a little worried. With her physique, how could she get more than 300 kilograms of food back?
Just as he was thinking about it, Zhang Yuan and Zhan Tianqi, who were carrying food back, came back, both carrying shoulder poles, hemp ropes, and baskets. When passing by Xu Manman, Zhang Yuan even came over and said, "Xu Zhiqing, when you have the food ready, leave it there and we'll carry it back for you together."
Xu Manman hurriedly thanked him, there was no need to be polite at this time.
Most of the people in the team had gone. Zhang Yuan, Zhan Tianqi and Yue Feng had taken the food back and were standing aside waiting for the rest of the people. They also followed the old educated youth to take the food back for Wan Fang and the others.
Finally it was Xu Manman's turn. As expected, she still owed work points, but not much. Xu Manman chose to make up the difference with money. She had planned to buy food as planned, but the village chief looked at the delicate and tender baby in front of him, thought for a while, and reminded her that the village had ground black flour and better white flour, which was the flour that had bran left in it during grinding, but it was a bit more expensive.
Xu Manman asked for 30 kilograms of white flour, 80 kilograms of black flour, 80 kilograms of corn flour, and 100 kilograms of corn kernels without saying a word. Since she didn't have to go through the trouble of grinding the flour herself and still had some food coupons left over, of course she chose the good ones.
Xu Manman asked more carefully and asked for another 50 kilograms of grains, including red beans, mung beans, soybeans, peanuts, glutinous rice, millet, etc. They were all natural. Although not as good as the system rewards, they were good to keep and send back home.
Seeing how generous she was, the accountant and the village chief didn't waste any words. This year, the village had a lot of surplus grain, so this could be considered as generating income for the village. They happily calculated the money, which amounted to 80 yuan in total.
The scorer and team leader next to her helped her pack the grain into bags. The sacks she brought before were too big, so Xu Manman took out a lot of small cloth bags from her shoulder bag to pack the grains. In the end, she packed a total of 4 sacks.
As soon as we finished here, Zhang Yuan and Yue Feng came over with a carrying pole and a hemp rope.
"Thanks, I'll treat you guys to something delicious later."
Yue Feng chuckled on the side.
Zhang Yuan joked, "I'm just craving your goodies."
After returning to the educated youth site, Zhang Yuan and Yue Feng helped Xu Manman put the grain in the house and then returned to the threshing ground.
Xu Manman looked at the food and had no intention of putting it in a space. This sack was a system reward and was of excellent quality. There was no need to worry about it being infested by insects or getting damp for a while, so she just put it there for now.
But leaving it on the ground wasn't a good idea, so Xu Manman took out a few clay pots and put the flour in them. She also placed the bag of corn kernels on the partitioned area on the kang in the inner room, against the wall. For the remaining grains, Xu Manman cleared out a wooden box and put the contents inside into the space.
