The next day, after Ye Tianqing got up and had breakfast with her mother, she said a word to her mother, and took Zidie and Huang Li out of the main house.

Outside, Peng Changfeng and another guard named Ma Laifu had already driven a carriage and waited, and they would be temporary coachmen today.

Ye Tianqing got into the car with the two maids and ordered them to go to Shahe Town, which was more than ten miles away from Yejiazhuang.

Shahe Town is located in the east of Yejiazhuang, is the closest market town to Yejiazhuang, and is also the only market town within a radius of 100 miles.

Although Ye Tianqing had just arrived, she had a lot of things to do when she went to Shahe Town.

First, the second lady Tang once told her that in Shahe Town, there was a grain store with which she had business dealings, and she wanted to ask if the grain that Tang promised to send her had arrived, and why she said before she set off that the grain that had been on the road would arrive later than her, and she had also seen some caravans along the way, but there was no caravan for Tang to transport grain.

More than ten miles away, it stands to reason that it took less than half an hour to arrive by carriage, but Ye Tianqing and the others still spent nearly an hour to reach their destination, just because there was no official road from Yejiazhuang to Shahe Town, only a small road.

If it hadn't rained in recent months and the roads were dry, the wagons might not have been able to navigate the muddy paths.

Knowing this, Ye Tianqing was willing to come on foot, so he didn't have to suffer from this bump.

However, if she really wanted to do so, her mother would not agree.

The two guards were obviously very familiar with Shahe Town, and parked the carriage directly in front of the grain store. Then, Purple Butterfly and Huang Li helped Ye Tianqing get out of the car.

"What does this young lady want to buy? The shop just bought some new polished rice yesterday. Miss wants to see it. Seeing her enter the door, she immediately greeted the honest shopkeeper with a smile.

"Excuse me, the shopkeeper. If I buy more, can I get a discount? Ye Tianqing nodded, followed the shopkeeper to look at all kinds of goods in the store, and also carefully inquired about the price, and then asked.

"Miss, I saw you face to face, Xu has just arrived in Shahe Town, and you are not familiar with the situation, you can ask these two guard brothers to understand. My store has always had a fair price, just to make a small profit but sell it quickly. Besides, now that there is a shortage of food, it is not easy for the small ones to come in this batch of grain from the outside, and they don't know if they can buy it again next time. The shopkeeper pointed to Peng Changfeng and the two who followed Ye Tianqing into the door, and said with a smile.

"Third Miss, Shopkeeper Wang is right, the grain he sells in this store is indeed fair, but. Shopkeeper Wang, how can I hear that the price you just quoted is much more expensive than a few days ago, this is the third lady of our Ye Mansion, you can't sell it expensive. Peng Changfeng listened and testified for him. However, he also expressed dissatisfaction with the high price quoted by the shopkeeper.

"Oh, Peng Guard, you've wronged me. My store is recognized as a child, where will you bully Miss Guifu. Don't you know, the food outside is like crazy now. I can't wait for a price a day, but I bought this batch of grain at a price that is 30% more expensive than usual, you can't let me sell it at a loss. The shopkeeper said with a sad face.

"This is the truth, since there is no discount, Miss Ben will not force it, I don't know how much rice and grain the shopkeeper can sell now?" As long as you think that the price of rice will increase exponentially in the future, the price can be said to be the price of cabbage today.

"Miss is saying, how much do you want if I have here?" The shopkeeper didn't think she was joking because she was young, but he was afraid that he had misheard her, so he asked.

"That's not alright, I have to leave a little for other people, and it's not my wish to make others hungry." Ye Tianqing shook his head and said.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was overjoyed, and immediately invited her to the inner room and told him all the goods he could sell, and Ye Tianqing also paid the money very happily and asked him to be responsible for transporting the grain she bought to Yejiazhuang.

"I don't know if the shopkeeper has any dealings with the Tang's rice grain shop in Lingfeng City?" The deal was negotiated, and Ye Tianqing asked.

"Miss is talking about the second lady's rice grain shop in Lord Ye's mansion in Lingfeng City? Miss Bu said that if it weren't for the blessing of the second lady, this batch of grain would not have reached Shahe Town. The shopkeeper said with great trepidation.

But this batch of grain was sold to him by the Tang family, and on the way over, the road was also blocked by a large number of displaced people, just because the escort was the people sent to the Tang family by General Tang Da, most of these people were veterans, and in the name of General Tang Da, where did those displaced people who blocked the road dare to provoke, and immediately ran away, if not, maybe this batch of grain was robbed.

"I don't know if the shopkeeper knows where the caravans that carried grain are now? Have you ever left the town of Shahe? Ye Tianqing asked a little anxiously, if the Tang clan went back on his word and embezzled the grain that should have been given to her and didn't give it to her, it would be a big deal.

The reason why she dared to let Li Zhuangtou find someone to build a courtyard wall was based on a large amount of food.

"It shouldn't have left yet, it was late when the caravan entered the town yesterday, and the small one still let people put the grain into the warehouse in the dark, and the little one vaguely heard that they seemed to be sending other grain to a place today, but the small one didn't hear where to send it." The shopkeeper did not hide it, and immediately told her the address where the caravan lived.

It turned out that the caravan did not stay in the inn after entering the town, but lived in another idle place of the shopkeeper.

"Let's go, let's see." Bidding farewell to the shopkeeper of the grain store, Ye Tianqing immediately got into the carriage and rushed to the courtyard.

Fortunately, when they arrived, there were still people inside, and when I asked, it was really a caravan sent by the Tang family to send my mother.

The leader of the caravan was a middle-aged man, with a strong physique, and ordinary people were still wearing jackets, but he was only wearing a short coat with two strong arms exposed, and his dark face was still sweating. ”

"I've got you covered." Ye Tianqing asked Zidie to give a silver ingot to the middle-aged man and let them go to tea, and then asked; "I wonder how much food was sent this time?"

When the middle-aged man asked, he immediately asked people to bring the list over to Ye Tianqing to see.

It's just that, seeing the various quantities and varieties of grain above, Ye Tianqing asked very puzzledly: "Why is it only half, do you have another grain transportation team that hasn't arrived?" (To be continued.) )
