"Sister, do you really have fine grains?" The woman who first asked Li Jinfeng was emotionally excited with a little excitement.
Her mother is eighty years old and has no teeth.
I spent the whole day eating black buns with them, which even young people couldn't chew. Even if they were cooked into porridge, I couldn't poop them out after eating them.
An eighty-year-old man has to squat in the toilet for the whole morning. She feels so distressed!
When he heard Dai Dayun say that there were people from the city who were willing to exchange fine grains for coarse grains, he took some coarse grains from the house without saying a word and came over.
"Yes, but three pounds of coarse grains for one pound of fine grains!" said Li Jinfeng.
The woman thought it was a bit expensive, but thinking of her mother at home, she gritted her teeth and said to Li Jinfeng, "I'll exchange it for two kilograms!"
Two kilograms of fine grains were exchanged for six kilograms of coarse grains.
Everyone seemed to have made an agreement, and the coarse grains they brought were all sorghum, sweet potatoes and the like. Few people used less valuable grains such as wheat bran.
Wheat bran is the skin of wheat, which is difficult to digest and has less nutrition. It is naturally not on the same level as sorghum and sweet potatoes.
Li Jinfeng can tell from this that these are all honest people.
The remaining two women did not say much, and each of them exchanged two kilograms of food with Li Jinfeng.
He carefully packed the food into the cloth bag he brought with him. After that, he carefully checked the bag and confirmed that there was no problem. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and said to Dai Dayun, "Dayun, we're going back. Don't tell anyone about this!"
This was exactly what Dai Dayun wanted to say, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone!"
With Dai Dayun's words, the three women left Zhang's house together.
There were still fourteen pounds of fine grains in Li Jinfeng's cloth bag.
The issue of exchanging grain for old items has not been settled yet.
Just as she was hesitating whether to talk to Dai Dayun about exchanging the fine grain for other things, such as money or old items, a woman's terrified scream suddenly came from the gate of Zhang's courtyard.
"ah……"
"Oh no, it's... it's Lirong..." Dai Dayun stood up suddenly.
Lirong was the first woman to ask Li Jinfeng if she had any fine grains.
Hearing her screams, Dai Dayun was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Li Jinfeng was not in a much better situation. At that moment, she even suspected that the food exchange had been discovered by others.
"Auntie, let's go out and take a look!" Li Jinfeng reminded.
Dai Dayun took a hoe and rushed out with Li Jinfeng.
As soon as I walked out, I saw an old man with white hair, desperately pulling Wang Lirong's cloth bag.
The old man was wearing an old piece of clothes that was so torn that it couldn't be torn any further. His face was covered with scars, but his eyes were fixed on the cloth bag in Wang Lirong's hand.
"Here you go, I'll give you all my things, and I'll give you all your things..."
"I smell rice, it's rice..."
The old man spoke incoherently. At Wang Lirong's feet lay a small jade ring stained with mud and dust.
Li Jinfeng stared at the jade ring and suddenly couldn't move her eyes away.
That should be jade. Although it is blocked by mud and dust, you can still vaguely see that there are patterns carved on it.
Wang Lirong was still shouting, "No, I don't want anything, get out of here, get out..."
Dai Dayun raised his hoe and was about to hit the old man, but Li Jinfeng stopped him. She said to the old man, "Did you exchange that circle on the ground for food?"
"That's right, my things are hers, and her things are mine!" The old man looked domineering.
