Chapter 234: Food Exchange
Jiang Yu got a lot of work points this year, because in addition to the harvest from her daily work in the fields, she also received dividends from the brick kiln that were agreed upon before the New Year.
The team originally wanted to deny this payment, but Zhuang Shouren asked them, "What are you going to do if Jiang Yu is not happy?"
No one said anything, so the one-tenth of the brick kiln's profits that had been agreed upon still went to Jiang Yu's name.
The tiles and bricks produced by the brick kiln are sold to the villagers at cost price. One work point can be bought for 8 tiles and 3 bricks.
The amount of bricks and tiles exchanged by the brick kiln was very large this year. Jiang Yu received 3500 work points for bricks and 6400 for tiles. Together with her own 1470 work points, who wouldn't be jealous of her harvest this year?
But no one dared to say anything. The last person who dared to complain, Grandma Yang, would even hide five meters away when she saw Jiang Yu. The roof of her house was smashed to pieces. The lesson from the past was still fresh in people's minds.
Zhuang Shouren looked at Jiang Yu coming forward, pulled the corner of his mouth, and asked, "Do you want to change the grain this year?"
"No, just pay me directly." Although the food in the brigade is cheap, this year's rice is soaked in water and dried, and the fragrance is far less than last year. She doesn't want to waste money on exchanging this kind of food.
The accountant quickly nudged Zhuang Shouren's arm and said, "Please persuade her, say something nice, and ask her to exchange some food! Otherwise, it would cost almost 4 yuan to exchange it all into cash!"
If all of it is exchanged for money, there will not be much cash left in the team. What will happen to the other villagers then?
At this time of year every year, there are so many places where money is needed, such as wedding gifts, house decoration, preparing New Year's goods before the New Year, and purchasing various small items for the home. Every household needs to exchange money for them.
Zhuang Shouren knew about this, but look at Jiang Yu, who was completely unmoved. What was he going to say? What was he going to say? What was he going to say?
Finally, the women's director saw that they were still in a stalemate and came out to say to Jiang Yu, "Isn't Jiang Zhiqing going to exchange for some fine grains this year?"
"Do you have glutinous rice? Peanuts, mao ke, soybeans, and cotton? I can exchange them. Also, keep 500 work points in the account and use them to exchange for winter vegetables later." Seeing that they were not going to pay unless they exchanged, Jiang Yu selected some agricultural products of good quality and asked for their help.
"Okay, okay!" Women's director Hao Xiumei quickly asked the militia to move things from the warehouse. Of course, she was also very sensible and did not mention the exchange of rice. Everyone knew how badly it rained those days. It was reasonable that people did not want the rice if it was of poor quality. She would not be so stupid as to provoke Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu looked at the things in the bag and made sure that there was nothing wrong. He asked them to weigh them. After the accountant wrote the note, he took the pen and signed to confirm.
In the end, she got money. Even though she exchanged a lot of things, crops like soybeans and peanuts that can be used to extract oil were relatively expensive, Jiang Yu still got 3100 yuan.
What is a sack of money, this is it.
Jiang Yu packed the grain into bundles in cloth bags he had brought with him, tied the bags tightly and threw them on his back. Then he pushed the cart full of grain and walked aside to wait for the other two to exchange the grain for money.
They were no longer the new educated youth who came here empty-handed and knew nothing the first year. They had all prepared woven bags for food and simple carts so that they wouldn't have to borrow from the villagers.
The two male educated youth were just like Jiang Yu, they exchanged a little bit of everything except rice.
Zhuang Shouren looked back at the piles of rice in the warehouse, wondering what to do with them.
"Xue Li and Fu Biao's work points can be directly converted into money." Chen Jinghan asked Xue Li before leaving. She didn't think it was troublesome, so she just asked to exchange it for money directly.
As for the two people who went out, Chen Jinghan didn't know what they wanted to exchange, so she simply exchanged them for money and arranged it herself after they came back.
When the accountant heard this, he felt nervous. The cash he had prepared was really not enough. If other villagers wanted to exchange money, they would have to wait until the afternoon. He had to go to the bank.
The three of them took their belongings and pushed the food back to the educated youth site.
There were a few scoundrels in the team who looked at Jiang Yu several times in what they thought was a covert move.
Money can move people's hearts, and it wasn't just a few hundred yuan, it was three thousand yuan! ! These people had never seen so much money in their lives, so how could they not be jealous.
Not only them, some older people can't control their mouths.
The initial confrontation was forgotten as soon as they turned around. Now all they could see was the big bag of money, and they started to calculate it in their minds.
Jiang Yu felt it, but she didn't care. If simple intimidation didn't work, she could use more powerful means to make everyone fear her.
So her instinctive choice to avoid the crowd in her previous life was actually the right choice. Living in a group can easily lead to conflicts.
She was originally a person who was very afraid of trouble, and she would not even bargain for price when doing business. She was still like that now, but her methods were more extreme than before. Perhaps the genetic drug gave her the confidence.
Yi Chi, who was hiding in the crowd, also saw it. He lowered his eyes and wondered when the heavy snow would start to fall.
After returning to the educated youth point, Jiang Yu went back to his room first to put the money into the big basket in the space, and then began to sort out the things he had just bought.
There is not much cotton, and the brigade does not have to hand over all of it this year, so some of it can be kept. However, the brigade has a large population, and that part of the cotton is not enough to be distributed.
Zhuang Shouren had no choice but to set the price of cotton a little higher so that people who had sufficient work points and were willing to work more would be willing to exchange it, and he limited the quantity.
Jiang Yu patted the 5-jin bag of cotton. What should he do?
The cotton-padded jacket and trousers were all made last year, as were the quilts. The mattress is made of rabbit fur and is very warm.
What else is there to do? Jiang Yu couldn’t think of anything, so he put it in his space first!
Peanuts can be fried and eaten slowly, and soybeans can be pressed for oil to make soy products. Put them aside and arrange them later!
Make glutinous rice into rice cake and keep it there!
Chen Jinghan came over and knocked on the door.
"Jiang Yu, can you come out for a moment?" Chen Jinghan asked at the door.
"Wait a minute." Jiang Yu put all the food into the pottery jar, covered it, and then opened the door and stuck his head out. "What's wrong?"
"I just think that you should be more careful these days." When Chen Jinghan walked back, she always felt hairy.
Jiang Yu had a lot of money, and the money he took from Fu Biao and Xiong Lijin was not a small amount.
If someone in the village really couldn't hold back and wanted to attack Jiang Yu, he might also be affected, so he came over to remind her.
"Okay." Jiang Yu nodded, "But I think everyone should be careful. Xue Li too."
If there really is someone so daring as to be fearless, then he could do anything. Since we need to be vigilant, then let's all be nervous!
