"Do you have rice? I want to exchange it for rice." The old lady was satisfied with the price. She wanted to exchange the rice and take it back so that she could make porridge for her granddaughter.
Jianshu nodded and said, "Yes, these can be exchanged for ten kilograms of rice, the same as white flour." Although there was a slight difference in price between the two, she was too lazy to further break it down.
