Chapter 72, Rice and Big Rooster
If Chen Guohua had a golden finger like Space, he could perfectly solve these problems.
Unfortunately, he didn't.
Therefore, it is necessary to find ways to solve the problem of grain storage period.
Then something like rice can solve this problem.
Even if the rice is stored for three years, there is no problem at all.
Although rice is a little more troublesome, it will be very troublesome when the rice needs to be milled.
But Chen Guohua can perfectly solve the problem of rice milling tools, and then just put them at Majiafen.
If that doesn't work, try to find a way to get a stone mill and grind the rice manually.
Or you can build an electric rice milling machine yourself and solve the noise problem, which is almost enough.
Well! There are always more ways than difficulties! We will talk about how to solve these problems in detail at that time.
Anyway, starting next year, there will be a shortage of food in the next few years. There is no doubt about this.
"Oh, you want rice? How much do you want?"
Erdao dealer Yuan Yongxin said, and he immediately became interested.
Having been in Pigeon City for more than two years, he has encountered many strange customers and requests.
But there are really no people asking to buy rice.
It’s so troublesome to buy rice. You have to process the rice yourself into millet before you can eat it.
Isn’t it better to just buy rice? "How much can you bring?"
Chen Guohua asked back, and then said: "I don't have that much money on hand now. Can you transport me a hundred kilograms of rice every half month?"
One hundred catties of rice is not too small. One month is two hundred catties, and twelve months is two thousand four hundred catties.
If there is such rice, then the four brothers and sisters Chen Guohua will have greater confidence in surviving the difficult period in the next three years.
The reason why it is so troublesome is that the basement has not been dug yet.
According to the progress and size of the basement excavation, it will not be possible to fully excavate it until May or June at least.
The reason is also very simple. In addition to keeping secrets, it is mostly soil underground, which is difficult to dig.
Especially when encountering rocks, the difficulty level is instantly topped up.
Therefore, the only option is to dig out the basement and purchase wood from outside to reinforce the basement space.
At the same time, we purchase food from outside and store it slowly.
If you purchase too much food at one time, it is very likely that the secret will be exposed.
"One hundred pounds in half a month? How much do you want in total?"
Yuan Yongxin's eyes suddenly flashed with blue light and he asked urgently.
Because once a deal is concluded, this is a stable source of profit.
Although it is only one hundred catties every half month, it is not much, and the price of rice is not as good as that of millet.
But it’s better than stability.
"I just need [-] kilograms for the time being."
Chen Guohua thought for a while and gave a more reasonable number.
Getting [-] kilograms of goods from Yuan Yongxin was a test and also for safety reasons.
He couldn't keep trading with the other party. After all, if the other party accidentally exposed the secret and caused the second-rate dealers in the same trade to report it, something could easily happen.
Anyway, Chen Guohua would rather cause trouble than get into trouble.
Yuan Yongxin said that although he felt a little disappointed, he was still very happy to discuss the details of the transaction with Chen Guohua.
After confirming the specific location of the transaction near Nanluogu Lane and the transaction time three days later, Chen Guohua left the pigeon market.
Today's harvest in Pigeon City is quite a lot.
When he returned home, the basket he carried was already very heavy.
After arriving home, the three little ones had just gotten up and were preparing to make breakfast.
"Xiaoyue, take these shiitake mushrooms and roast them. These mountain hazelnuts, well, let's deal with them later."
Chen Guohua gave instructions, and after breakfast, he went out chicken!
I have already bought the mushrooms, all I need is an old hen.
During a time like the Chinese New Year, you must eat well.
There are no old hens for sale in the vegetable market. Generally speaking, you can only ask at home.
In the city, there are also many families raising chickens.
After the tails are cut off, each household can only raise two poultry at most, and no more.
It is almost impossible for Chen Guohua to buy chicken in the city.
Because the chickens raised by people in the city are either for mothers with pregnant women or children, and the chickens they raise are also old hens, specially designed to lay eggs for food.
It is only possible to buy it in the countryside.
So Chen Guohua took the bus directly to the suburbs outside the city and went to the countryside to buy.
During the Chinese New Year, Chen Guohua came here to buy chickens, and Chen Guohua was too idle.
Fortunately, today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, a day when many people return to their parents’ homes.
Therefore, Chen Guohua quickly bought a big rooster.
Old hens are too expensive. In comparison, big roosters are more cost-effective.
What's more, others are reluctant to sell old hens.
However, just when Chen Guohua was carrying the big rooster, he was preparing to return to the city.
But I happened to see someone drying persimmons in front of their house! "Hello, old comrade, and happy New Year. This persimmon of yours looks really beautiful. It must be very sweet, right?"
When Chen Guohua asked people, he discovered that there were two bare trees at the door of the old man's house.
This tree is most likely a persimmon tree, right?
The weather is nice today, but as for the persimmons, shouldn’t they have been dried already?
Why take it out to dry during the Chinese New Year? "Happy New Year, yes, these persimmons are very sweet."
The old man's face was dark, ravaged, and full of vicissitudes of life, but his smile was particularly kind.
"Comrade, are you from the city?"
"Yes, I bought mushrooms at the vegetable market this morning, and I just wanted to buy an old hen."
Chen Guohua chatted with the other party with a smile, and took out his work permit again to show the other party.
Although people of this era are simple and sincere, they are not generally vigilant.
However, they also trust others easily.
Especially after taking out the work permit, the old man's smile became even more enthusiastic.
When Chen Guohua mentioned buying persimmons for his sister to eat, he could feel the other party's enthusiasm.
At the same time, he also asked a lot about Chen Guohua's family situation.
Knowing that the four brothers and sisters of Chen Guohua depended on each other for their lives, the old man expressed a few words of emotion.
In this era, there are actually quite a few families like Chen Guohua's.
After all, it's only [-] years now, and it's only the ninth year since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The old man’s house didn’t have too many persimmons, so Chen Guohua bought ten kilograms.
Probably because Chen Guohua's family was in trouble, the old man only accepted one yuan and didn't ask for more.
Persimmons cost a dime a pound, which is really cheap.
In fact, today’s fruit snacks, etc. are not cheap.
Chen Guohua was very grateful to meet such an honest and friendly man.
Before leaving, he left an extra dollar where he sat.
Even if the persimmons cost two cents per pound, Chen Guohua made money.
In the era of centralized purchasing and marketing, money was relatively easy for him to earn.
On the contrary, supplies are not so easy to obtain.
