Mei Niang nodded hurriedly, "Yes, I just want to exchange it with food, but I don't know how to exchange it."

"Although the items you want to exchange are all rare, they are cheaper than in previous years. However, not many people are willing to exchange them for money now. It is best to use grain. The most expensive ones are probably two pounds for one pound, corn,

Soybeans are fine, but how much do you need to replace them with?"

After hearing this, Mei Niang was even more happy. She didn't have much else, but she had a lot of corns. Rather than buying them with money, she was more inclined to exchange them for corns.

Mei Niang asked Erya to keep an eye on it for her, and she would come directly with the food when she came back in a few days.

After the decision was made, Mei Niang asked Erya where his brother had gone.

Erya sighed, "It's not that the town is getting more and more chaotic. There are not enough officers and soldiers, so they are recruiting in the town. At least I can provide food for the people and not starve to death, so I will go."

After hearing this, Mei Niang understood that although the army was short of food, at least he would not starve to death, and Erya's younger brother could not be forced to join the army. It was just a pain for Erya, a woman living here alone, who would not be able to sleep well at night.

.

But she lives her own life, and there are many poor people, so what she can do to help is limited.

After thinking about it, he pulled the basket from the side that he had taken out of the space for loading vegetables but not put it back. Covered it with a piece of clothing, put his hand in and pretended to take something, but in fact he took it out directly from the space.

One ear, two ears, three ears... a dozen large and full ears of dry corn sticks were placed on the table. "You can keep these to eat first, and I will bring them to you when I come to change things in a few days."

The circles under Erya's eyes were red. On weekdays, her younger brother would occasionally come back and secretly bring her some dry biscuits. Those biscuits were different from those she usually ate in the past. They were thick flour ground from whole sticks of corn, half rice flour mixed with half bran.

, but even this kind of pancake is not something everyone can eat.

She was also afraid that her brother would leave all the food for her and she would not be full. She persuaded her several times to put the food in the left ear and out the right ear, but still sent a piece of food back every two days, but even then, she still couldn't eat enough.

Now, Mei Niang takes out these corn sticks, each stick contains at least half a kilogram of rice grains, which can be enough for half a month. If you grind it with the dry sticks inside, it will last longer.

Next time my brother comes back, he will be able to eat well. The more he thought about it, the happier he became. Erya was not polite to Mei Niang and hid the corn sticks.

Mei Niang actually wanted to bring more to Erya, but the capacity of her basket was limited, and she would be suspicious if she took more. Anyway, she would come to town in a few days, so it would be fine to bring her some more.

After discussing it with Erya, Mei Niang went to a horse and carriage shop, chose an ox cart and asked the clerk to take it to an alley.

As for the money to buy a car, it is naturally a big plump stick of corn. It is hard to imagine that a sturdy and durable ox cart is only worth more than a dozen sticks of corn. It is really cheap.

Mei Niang has even been thinking about whether to use the corn to exchange for some valuable things during the disaster years, such as gold and jade. These are small and do not take up space. As long as the status is doubled in the prosperous times.

But these are just thoughts for the time being. Once she really does that, she will definitely attract the attention of interested people, and she will be in big trouble if she is targeted again. Anyway, if you want to make money, you must make it safely.

Nowadays, in the troubled times, murders and robberies are everywhere, and the binding force of the law is getting weaker and weaker. She is a little girl, with no power and no influence. Even the force value is almost 0. She can only be careful in everything.
