Small supermarket welcomes visitors from all directions

Chapter 4 How much is it worth?

Li Zhiguo said: "I understand what you said. I will report all these matters and try to give you a reply tonight."

"Thank you!"

"Thank you Uncle Li!"

Then, under the witness of Li Zhiguo, Tang Qiao made another time travel. This time, Li Zhiguo recorded the entire process and also brought back a basin of snow from Prince Fu's Mansion at Wang Yue's request.

It was just that something went wrong. Wang Yue and Prince Fu and his son could see the transparent door, but Li Zhiguo could not see anything. Fortunately, there was a video recording as evidence, otherwise he would have thought it was just dazzled.

Li Zhiguo also looked at the things Tang Qiao had brought over, including writing brushes, ink, paper, inkstone, an ebony bracelet, two pieces of Shu brocade, and a piece of clothing that Tang Qiao had worn.

Prince Fu introduced them, "Except for the Shu brocade, which is new, the others are what we often use at home. Do you think these things are okay?"

Li Zhiguo said: "These things are enough. I don't understand them myself. I will let people who understand them take a look at them later."

As he was about to pack up and leave, Prince Fu quickly stepped forward and handed a small box to Li Zhiguo: "I came here in a hurry and didn't prepare anything. This little thing is for Mr. Li to play with."

Li Zhiguo waved his hands and said, "We have rules and cannot accept gifts."

Prince Fu said: "This is not a gift, it's just a small toy that I play with every day." It's called a small toy, and it's indeed quite small, an ebony bracelet.

Li Zhiguo said: "Thank you, thank you! Our discipline is not to take even a single needle or thread from the masses, so you can't let me make a mistake."

Prince Fu no longer insisted, and Wang Yue said, "Uncle Li, is it okay for me to accept their gifts as well?"

"You are not a public official. These clauses have no influence on you. Just accept them without any worries!"

"Uncle Li, Prince Fu and the others are still waiting for your news and won't go back for the time being. Can I take them to the city for dinner?" Wang Yue thought that dinner tonight had not been settled yet.

Li Zhiguo said, "I didn't bring anyone here today, so you guys should stay here. Which restaurant do you want to eat at? I'll ask Xiao Zhang to bring it to you later."

"Then thank you Uncle Li and Brother Zhang!"

After the others saw Li Zhiguo off, Prince Fu asked Wang Yue about food, and asked, "Miss Wang, how much do you sell rice for?"

"Uncle Tang, just call me Xiao Wang or Xiao Yue, don't call me girl. Rice is about two yuan, and flour is also more than two yuan, which is still very cheap."

Prince Fu didn't know whether these two yuan were expensive or cheap, so he asked, "What about the coarse grains? How much is that?"

"Coarse grains? Coarse grains are expensive! The cheapest ones are three or four yuan, some are five or six yuan, and the best millet is ten yuan a pound."

Prince Fu and his son were shocked. How could it be completely opposite to the Ming Dynasty? "Why is delicious rice so cheap, while the unpalatable coarse grains are so much more expensive?"

"Because rice and wheat taste good, the country has spent a lot of effort to improve the varieties. Now the yield of rice and wheat per mu is more than 1,000 kilograms, and the best can reach 2,000 kilograms. However, that is in the experimental field, and ordinary people like us can't do it."

"Oh my God! Two thousand kilograms!" Prince Fu and his son were really shocked this time. Although they did not farm, they still knew about the grain yield. If the rice was well taken care of, the yield per mu could be at most three to five hundred kilograms.

"Then can we buy your seeds?" Prince Fu was very excited.

Wang Yue poured cold water on them: "It's useless for you to buy it back. You can only grow it for one year. This is hybrid rice and you can't save seeds. And you don't have fertilizer, so the yield will not be ideal. You can talk to our country after this matter is over, and there should be no problem." "Yes! We can't grow anything in the ice and snow now. It's useless even if you give me seeds that can produce 10,000 kilograms per mu!"

"Oh! You never imagined that there are crops that can produce 10,000 kilograms per mu."

"Are there really crops that can produce 10,000 kilograms per mu? Oh my God! If we had such crops in the Ming Dynasty, no one would starve to death. What a peaceful and prosperous world that would be?" Prince Fu's face was full of longing.

Tang Qiao quickly tried to calm Prince Fu down: "We don't know if we can survive this crisis. Only after we get through this can we have a future. Let's think about whether the money in the national treasury, the private treasury of the emperor's uncle, and our own palace are enough to buy food! With a population of 40 million, we need to prepare at least two years of food. The total amount is an astronomical figure."

Prince Fu calculated and it was true: "It is true. Miss Xiaoyue, I wonder how much rice I can buy with this tael of silver?"

"I really don't know about silver. We don't usually use gold or silver here. I roughly know the price of gold. It's estimated to be around 500 yuan per gram now. But you don't have to pay for the food! If you calculate it well, you basically don't have to spend any money. You will definitely make some money guarding the time-space gate. Besides, you have the emperor behind you."

"Yes! We should discuss this carefully."

The three of them planned together what to take to the Ming Dynasty to sell.

When Li Zhiguo arrived at the army, he immediately contacted the leader's dedicated line, reported the whole matter to the leader, and conveyed Prince Fu's request to the leader.

An hour later, an emergency meeting was held in the army's conference room. There were not many people, but each of them was a leader in his or her own field.

There were only about ten people. After everyone arrived, Li Zhiguo asked Xiao Zhang to open the brocade box he brought from the supermarket today.

Others just watched for fun, but Mr. Jiang and Professor Dai were like seeing a peerless beauty, they couldn't take their eyes off her.

The two of them looked at it and exclaimed: "This is a Duan inkstone!"

"There are so many rice papers here, cooked ones at that!"

"This is a Hu brush! How come there is still water in it? This is a brush that has just been used. Who is so arrogant? Getting a Hu brush and not keeping it as a treasure but using it for daily use?"

Dai Wenhua shouted from the other side: "Teacher, don't look at the pen, come here and take a look at this dress." As he spoke, he slowly unfolded a long gown.

It was a lake blue gown, probably a men's one, with embroidery on the hem, cuffs and collar, of cedar trees.

Upon seeing this, Mr. Jiang was immediately attracted by the dress. He looked at it so carefully that I guess he didn't even look at his wife so carefully back then.

He was still saying, "Oh my god! Who is so rich that he has worn this dress at least three times?"

Liu Xuehua knew Mr. Jiang. Her father and grandfather, who had passed away, had a good relationship with Mr. Jiang. They were old friends. So she asked the old man, "This is a piece of clothing. Why can't people wear it?"

The old man snorted: "Hey! Do you know how much this dress is worth?"

Liu Xuehua was not afraid: "Then I'll take a look. If I'm wrong, please correct me, old man."

"Xiao Xuehua, let's see how your vision is."
