After going around in circles, she realized that potatoes and sweet potatoes were the most abundant crops. These had a higher yield, and she couldn't remember how many she had planted or harvested. But now, looking at the yield, it was at least around 10,000 tons.
He Caiwei was stunned when she saw the number displayed in the space. This was too much, and she remembered that she hadn't planted many crops.
She received about 100 tons of wheat and about 200 tons of rice from her scumbag father. There were no corn cobs, as the corn cobs in her space were all grown by herself.
After cleaning everything up, she prepared to give 20 tons of rice, more potatoes and sweet potatoes, and less corn on the cob, since people here generally don't eat corn grits.
She still had some grain bags that her uncle had given her before, and she used them to store the grain this time.
After packing everything up, she took out her spatial storage. Twenty tons of rice, or 40,000 jin of grain, would be worth 40,000 yuan. One hundred tons of sweet potatoes, or 200,000 jin, would be worth 100,000 yuan at 5 mao per jin. Potatoes would be cheaper at 25 mao per jin. Apart from the potatoes she already had in her own space, most of the potatoes in her space were obtained from the Russians.
She was given 10 tons of wheat, which was worth 16,000 yuan. She also had pork in her space. There was an intelligent system in the space that automatically sent the fattened pigs that had grown up and were ready for slaughter to be slaughtered. After that, it automatically cut the meat into strips for her to use.
There are meat processing plants in Pengcheng. Live pigs usually cost around 50 cents a month. But now people are starving, so who has the spare money to feed these animals? If no one raises them, the meat supply will be cut off. So the large, fat pigs that she has in her space are useless. It would be better to take them out alive. That way, the meat processing plants will have work to do. The scraps can be given to people who can't afford meat.
Ten pigs, each weighing around 300 jin (approximately 150 catties), are needed. Rice and wheat are relatively expensive, so she needs to prepare some other grains. However, she doesn't have any grains in her storage space; all she has is corn grits.
No, I have to ask Uncle Zhang what kind of coarse grains they eat here.
He Caiwei came out of the room at around 3 p.m. She went straight out of the main gate and headed straight for the police station.
Because everyone knew her, no one stopped her from going to the director's office.
"Uncle Zhang, what kind of whole grains do you eat here?"
When Director Zhang heard her question, he was taken aback at first, but then he thought about it and realized that it made sense. His old friend doted on his daughter and son, so how could he let them eat coarse grains? It was normal for the little girl not to know what coarse grains were.
"Brown rice, before that, we had sorghum rice, and later we had corn grits from old corn. When we ground rice and wheat, we didn't remove the husks; they were cooked along with the rice. Later on, when there wasn't much left, we just threw in the corn cobs to grind into powder. There were also rice stalks, sorghum stalks, and some beans, especially soybeans and mung beans, as well as sweet potatoes and sweet potato vines. We don't have as many potatoes here." Director Zhang explained the definition of coarse grains to the young girl.
"We don't have brown rice or sorghum, but we do have corn on the cob. We also have rice, wheat, sweet potatoes, and potatoes, but they're all unmilled. I'll give you the corn on the cob; you can make it yourself, and that'll be cheaper. Do you want a live pig?" He Caiwei looked at the things in her space. She didn't have the seeds for sorghum, so she couldn't grow it.
She didn't know how to turn corn cobs into powder, so she didn't do it.
"Okay, just tell me how much you have, and I'll prepare the money first." Director Zhang was extremely excited; his niece was indeed amazing.
He'd only been back for half a day, and he'd already managed to get him some food.
"The first shipment was worth less than 200,000 jin (100 tons), mostly sweet potatoes, about 200,000 jin (100 tons), less rice, about 40,000 jin (20 tons), corn on the cob, about the same amount as rice, 20,000 jin (10 tons) of wheat, not many potatoes, but those were a free gift, and ten pigs, each weighing about 300 jin (150 tons)." He Caiwei listed everything out in her notebook, but what she didn't see was that Director Zhang's eyes lit up as he listened to her words.
This really exceeded his expectations by a lot. After talking with his niece today, he checked how much money was left in the public account. Every year, because of the purchase of grain, the money in the public account has never been less, after all, there are a lot of factories in their area.
"Little niece, I've prepared 200,000 yuan for you. See if there's anything else we can add together? Potatoes, cabbage, or other things like eggs, chickens, ducks, and geese are all fine." Director Zhang pondered in his mind. His little girl hadn't mentioned eggs or other poultry earlier; he wondered if they had those.
He Caiwei paused for a moment when she heard him mention eggs. She hadn't thought of eggs when they first talked about preparing food. But after Director Zhang reminded her, she remembered the chicken, duck and goose eggs that had flooded her space.
"That would be helpful. Uncle Zhang, could you prepare some baskets and bags for me to put in those two empty warehouses at the grain bureau?" He Caiwei didn't have any baskets to put eggs in, so she still needed Uncle Zhang's help to prepare some.
"I understand. I'll have someone prepare how much to put in the warehouse before dinner tonight, and also put the money in sacks and put it in the warehouse." Director Zhang happily went to prepare the things.
200,000 is a considerable sum. The largest denomination banknote these days is only 10 yuan. If you had 200,000, you would have needed to fill several large sacks.
"I understand, Uncle Zhang, someone will go and get them." He Caiwei nodded; she still needed to prepare to retrieve the eggs from her spatial storage.
The eggs in her space were piled up in pairs in the warehouse. She would have to wait until tonight to get those baskets before going to the warehouse to put the eggs into the baskets.
After leaving the police station, He Caiwei went to the department store. The entire department store was empty. Apart from the clothes, towels, and quilts produced by the factories around here, as well as other daily necessities such as soap, teacups, and washbasins, there was not a single food item. She couldn't even see a single cabbage leaf.
After walking around for a while, He Caiwei decided to go to the office again. She needed to ask her father for a car; otherwise, it wouldn't make sense that there wasn't a single tire mark at the warehouse entrance with so much stuff.
Because she had come in the morning, everyone in the district office remembered her. But as soon as she entered the office building lobby, she was embraced by a tall figure.
The people working around them stared wide-eyed, secretly thinking how incredibly bold this girl was. Although the new district head had only been in office for a month, no one, man or woman, could get close to him; they had seen him nimbly dodge others many times.
