Chapter 26 Grain

The mother and daughter first went to the large courtyard they had cleared out, took the grain bags from the courtyard, and then left. They found a secluded spot and returned to their space.

"Mom, let's fill a sack and weigh it to see how heavy it is." He Caiwei looked at the sacks in front of her, having no idea how heavy a sack of grain would be, so she could only fill one sack and weigh it first.

"A jin now is sixteen liang, you should calculate it that way." He Yuping didn't know if her little girl knew the weight of the scale now, but she still had to tell her clearly so that she wouldn't weigh it wrong later.

"Uh, okay, I understand." He Caiwei was a little discouraged. She really didn't know that a pound was weighed as sixteen ounces. But she only knew how to use an electronic scale and didn't know if it could be set up.

She handed the bag she was carrying to her mother, asking her to fill it with rice first, while she went to the tool shed to see if there was a scale.

I opened the tool room and searched for a while before finally finding a fairly large electronic scale. I checked the buttons on the scale and found that it worked. I weighed something else and found that it was indeed sixteen ounces. This space is really amazing; it's so great that you can do whatever you want with it.

She happily placed the scale next to her mother, and the two of them filled a sack and put it on the scale. The sack could hold 150 jin (75 kg) at a rate of 16 liang (700 grams) per jin (0.5 kg).

"Mom, let's count how many bags there are here? If we count by the bags, we can figure out how many kilograms of grain there are. One ton is two thousand kilograms, so five tons is ten thousand kilograms." He Caiwei felt that this amount of grain was still too little. In this day and age, there was no oil or fat, so they were just going to die from eating this much grain.

“Let’s pack up all the grain we took from that secret warehouse a few days ago. Let’s see how much we can hold and sell it all. We can grow our own grain here. These villagers are so pitiful. Everything they had was stolen. What will they do if they have no food to eat?” He Yuping felt that there was no use in keeping the grain. She saw that her daughter’s warehouse was full of grain. She and her daughter didn’t eat much. If the grain was left for too long, it would become stale and wouldn’t taste good. It was better to just put it away.

“Alright, I also think it’s useless to leave these here. We have so much grain in our own granary, and we can even grow grain here. Mother, you don’t know how much better the grain grown here is than the grain brought in from outside.” He Caiwei also thought this was a good idea. They could sell as much as they could, since neither she nor her mother depended on this grain for a living anyway.

Who knows how many lives these grains could save if sold? Consider it doing good deeds for the original owner of this body, that little girl.

The mother and daughter worked hard for an unknown amount of time, emptying all the grain from the six grain bins and filling a total of four hundred bags.

He Caiwei felt that the quantity was wrong. Her mother had said before that there were only about fifteen tons of grain in these grain bins, so this was double the amount.

"Mom, there are already thirty tons here. Isn't that too much?" He Caiwei was worried that taking out too much at once would cause trouble for her and her daughter.

"Don't worry, we'll only sell this once, and then we'll leave. There are several villages around here, so we can let them go to the villages and look for other people. They can trade with us or buy with money, it doesn't matter." He Yuping wasn't worried, after all, they were about to leave this place, and even Yuncheng wasn't their final destination. Even if they wanted to find her, they wouldn't be able to find her.

"Okay, I'll do as you say. It's past three in the morning outside. Let's go eat first, and then go out. Should we drive? This way we'll leave tire tracks." He Caiwei wanted to drive, but her arms and legs were too short to reach the car, so she could only rely on her mother. Fortunately, her mother had been learning in the space for quite some time.

“Okay, let’s get this grain onto the truck first.” He Yuping was thinking that there were tools here to get the grain onto the truck, so they could finish it here before going out.

"Mom, wouldn't it be more convenient to just stand on the car and put it down like this after I get the car out?" He Caiwei was speechless. Had her mother gone mad?

"Oh dear, I forgot about that. Alright then." He Yuping and her daughter went to the kitchen and had a hearty meal. After the meal, they came out of the space. Thirty tons of grain filled an extra-long truck.

When we arrived at the courtyard, we found that someone was already waiting for us, which saved the mother and daughter from having to go through all that trouble.

"Since you're all here, please help unload the grain." He Yuping beckoned for people to come and help carry the grain.

The two men guarding this spot are both from the village. The old man's intention was for them to stay here and help unload the grain if it arrived.

The two men were stunned when they first saw a large truck coming, and they were dumbfounded when they saw the young man get out of the driver's seat. This young man could actually drive such a big truck; he was really capable.

When He Yuping waved, the two of them were still stunned and hadn't reacted yet.

Seeing the two people standing there dumbfounded, He Caiwei had no choice but to walk over and give them a nudge before they finally reacted. The two immediately split up; one ran to the village to report the news, while the other came over to open the door and help move the grain.

"Hey, you who's supposed to inform the villagers, you can go to a few nearby villages and see if anyone else wants it. There are thirty tons here. See if anyone in other villages wants it too. They can come over and exchange it for goods or buy it with money. The price is the same as what we told your village chief before." He Yuping saw that the man was about to run away, so she quickly explained the situation to him and asked him to help her talk to him.

"knew."

Perhaps they heard the noise, for suddenly a large number of people came out of the village, their eyes shining as they looked at the bags of grain.

The person running ahead relayed He Yuping's words to the villagers. Many of the women who had married into the village ran back home, woke up their children, and told them to inform their families and ask them to bring people to buy grain.

Upon hearing that the grain had arrived, the old village chief ran with all his might using his old arms and legs. If it weren't for the help of several younger people supporting him, the old man would probably have collapsed to the ground.

"Great-Grandpa, be careful! The grain is right there, it won't run away. Slow down!" The great-grandson of the old village chief was being dragged along by his grandfather and couldn't take it anymore, so he could only tell him to slow down.

The old man, who usually walks slowly and needs a cane, ran faster than a rabbit the moment he saw or heard about grain. He didn't look like a typical ninety-year-old at all.

"You little brat, where are you going to stop running? If you don't hurry up, the food will be all gone, and you'll be eating shit!" The old man was so angry that he wanted to hit him with his cane.

"A half-grown boy can eat his father out of house and home." There were seventeen or eighteen half-grown boys in his family. If he didn't run fast, how could he possibly grab enough food to take home for these brats to eat?
