The granaries in the valley are accumulating more and more grain, but they can't take it out to exchange for money.
In the past, there might have been some solutions, but since that incident, the villagers have become extremely paranoid and dare not take any risks.
Now Fu Hongxing and his group say they want to buy grain. They have grain, so why don't they sell it?
Of course, Zhang Biao was also gambling, betting that Fu Hongxing would be willing to cooperate with him long-term and purchase grain.
Sure enough, his gamble paid off.
Fu Hongxing not only agreed that as long as they grew grain, he could buy it every year, but if they wanted, they could also exchange the grain for coal.
For Zhang Biao, who lived in the northern region, coal was a very difficult resource to obtain.
Not only coal, but Fu Hongxing also said he could get some cloth.
This was an unexpected bonus for Zhang Biao, who immediately sold off a batch of old grain from the granary.
Looking at the stack of banknotes in his hand, Zhang Biao was still somewhat in a daze.
However, he was also very interested in the coal and cloth that Fu Hongxing mentioned.
So, he kept nagging Fu Hongxing, trying to persuade him to stay a few more days before going back.
After all, Xiaogang Village is neither very big nor very small.
It will take some time to organize everything that the villagers, young and old, want.
For Fu Hongxing, with the grain in hand, even though some of the drivers hadn't fully recovered from their colds, they were able to drive again.
Going home early would put their families at ease, and it would also allow the workers who were starting to go hungry to have a full meal.
Zhang Biao was unaware of how dire the situation was outside. Seeing Fu Hongxing's absent-minded expression and sneezing, Zhang Biao assumed that Fu Hongxing wanted to back out and not exchange coal and cloth for food.
Seeing Zhang Biao's face darken, Fu Hongxing quickly explained, which made Zhang Biao's expression improve slightly.
“Brother Zhang, you see, we are indeed in a hurry to go back, after all, this is the food rations for all the brothers in the mine.”
If possible, Brother Zhang, could you please get the required quantity as soon as possible? That way, I can process it for you immediately when I get back.
Having been away from home for more than ten days, Fu Hongxing is now filled with longing for Ning Jing.
I wonder if that girl misses him at home?
Hearing Fu Hongxing say this, Zhang Biao felt a little embarrassed. Some women don't know any better, asking for three feet or four feet of cloth at a time.
If you keep going back and forth like this, won't that slow down the statistics process?
As darkness fell, Fu Hongxing finally received the statistics sheet.
He glanced at it quickly; this amount of coal and cloth was really nothing.
He could make the decisions about coal, and as for cloth, he believed that County Chief Qian would definitely handle it well.
The fact that the convoy was able to fill the back of the truck this time shows that Xiaogang Village has a very good grain supply.
Even if they come a few more times, Zhang Biao will still be able to produce it.
Fu Hongxing folded the statistics table and stuffed it into his shirt pocket.
Then he called on all the drivers in the convoy to return to the city at full speed.
Zhang Biao watched the convoy disappear without a trace before turning around and pressing the loudspeaker in his office to broadcast the message to the entire village.
After everyone has finished eating, come over for the meeting.
Some people agreed with Zhang Biao's decision to sell grain, while others opposed it.
After all, the lessons learned from the past are still fresh in our minds!
What if Fu Hongxing is also such an ungrateful fellow? How will the entire Xiaogang Village survive?
