In the next few days, the head of the Jiao family was very resentful.

Like a deep resentful woman, she has been dangling back and forth in front of the eldest lady Qiu'er, and she doesn't speak, she just looks up at the sky with her hands behind her back, and then sighs.

As soon as I saw it, I could still feel a trace of the old man's sorrowful feelings, but after seeing too much, I felt annoyed.

"Father, you really can't buy that spice, it will lose money."

There was no way, Qiu'er could only say helplessly.

The head of the house said: "How can you lose money? How is it possible to lose money?! ”

He was a little angry.

Qiu'er pouted, and said in a non-yin and non-yang manner: "Nanming, we have incomparable advantages in terms of food, that is, we have Ningxianglou, and many spices in Ningxianglou are only sold to us Nanming, and Nanming is also the most identified with them, don't say what kind of honey is this, it is really the diet of fairyland thrown down by immortals, and I am afraid that it is not as good as Ningxianglou in the hearts of those rich and noble."

This honey fragrance is a valuable thing in other places, and in our Nanming, it is definitely a storage zài that no one cares about. ”

The head of the family was stunned for a moment, thinking about it carefully...... It seems that this is really the case.

But...... Even if it's reasonable, he's a father anyway, right? Do you need to talk about yourself in such a weird way? Where's the face? What's the status?!

But he really can't say anything, after all, Qiu'er's move is more profitable than doing it herself, not to mention that she saved herself before.

The scolding can't be scolded, the head of the house ran to the small room alone, got a glass of wine and drank it violently, sighing very sadly.

In ten days, the purchases that usually take more than a month were also completed by Qiu'er, and the purchases were all things that the Jiao family would not buy at all on weekdays.

This also makes the owner of the family very worried, if these goods cannot be sold in his hands, and the available funds of his family become ransom to save himself, then the Jiao family will be finished.

But whenever he wanted to disagree, he would see his eldest daughter looking at him with disgust.

So he decided to shut up, and then watch her make a mistake and make a fool of herself, and take the opportunity to snatch back the dominance of the Jiao family.

Ten days later, the convoy hit the road again and headed for Nanming.

The owner of the family thought that these goods would have to be shipped home first, and then the problem of sales should be considered.

But he was wrong.

After just entering the border of Nanming, Qiu'er ordered all the carriages to stop, and he took two carriages to the nearby villages, and when he came back, he actually brought ten carts of food, and some villagers took the initiative to help and transport people.

This made everyone a little confused, even if it was a natural sin, it felt like this was a bit ...... Nonsensical.

And this is obviously not the end, along the way, Qiu'er kept exchanging precious items from Northern Qi for a large number of grains.

When I went out, there were dozens of carriages, and when I came back, they were all very 'broken' carriages, but there were a thousand of them!

A cart can hold ten stone of grain, which is ten thousand stones, and the amount can feed several large cities, and it can also feed a whole year.

The head of the family is going crazy, but I didn't expect Qiu'er, who has been creating miracles, to have such a ...... Such an ordinary trick.

Yes, food is one of the most secure commodities, but it is also one of the most laborious commodities, and how long does it take to sell them all? And as long as it is kept for one more year, the price of this grain will drop by 30%, after all, grain also has a shelf life.

However, the head of the family can also understand that their children have experienced hunger, and they will think that only food is the most important thing in the world, and even if the good days pass for a few years, this will not change, and it is a kind of protection for them to protect themselves...... Gut feeling.

Although the head of the family did not approve of this business practice, his heart was touched soft, and he let out a long sigh and acquiesced to all this action.

When I returned to Lujiang City, I walked for half an hour just by crossing the city gate, and almost all the residents came out to watch and look at these grain trucks.

The people are very happy, so much grain is coming, I am afraid that the price of food in Lujiang City is about to drop, the Jiao family has really done another great thing!

But to everyone's surprise, these grains were not sold immediately, no, it should be said that they were not sold at all.

A large pile of grain almost covered the entire Jiao family.

People's lives are very inconvenient, many people come to discuss whether to sell the grain, especially the Jiao family no longer has much 'foundation', all the guys' money should have been paid, but if the grain can't be sold, there is no money.

But Qiu'er withstood all the pressure, and she didn't sell it alive or dead.

No one understands what she's going to do, and even many old guys are beginning to disagree with her, after all, it's almost the end of autumn, and winter is often the time when money is most scarce, and their regular money hasn't been paid yet.

One day, two days, until a month.

When this pressure finally became a reality, the whole family held a meeting to deprive Qiu'er of all her rights.

But the moment she walked into the hall, something happened.

It happened very suddenly.

A person hurriedly ran into Lujiang City, and shouted with a shocked face: "Worm...... Insect plague!! ”

This voice, as if it was a sudden thunder in the quiet night, awakened the long-hidden fear in people's hearts.

On the third day, people were surprised to find that it was dark.

It was not the night when night fell, but at noon, and suddenly in just a stick of incense, it was dark.

The 'black clouds' of the sky obscured a qiē, as if the sky had fallen.

And in fact, the sky really collapsed.

Not only for the people, but even for those powerful, there is a face of fear.

Insect plague, that's no ordinary bug.

They eat everything, anything green on the ground, any food that is bare on the ground, or...... Not food.

Trees, not only leaves, but also bark will be gnawed away, lawns, leaving only a piece of sand, small animals...... The most pitiful are the small animals, which will leave a complete skeleton without a trace of zài flesh and skin on it.

Of course they eat people too, but apparently in this situation, only a few people are exposed to the outside of the house, and if they do, then ...... With only a pile of skeletons left, they made it impossible for even the closest family members to distinguish them.

They appeared so suddenly, no one knew where they came from or where they were going, but they swept across the country, and then there was famine.

And they are invincible.

There have been countries that have sent troops to 'crusade' them, and it is regrettable that they have been able to gnaw on metal. Hundreds of thousands of troops were wiped out in a battle, it was the real light, and there was nothing left on the ground except white bones, so clean, not even blood.

There were also gold-level masters who fought in the air, and at the beginning they could still have some advantages, and the bugs were sprinkled down like a torrential rain, but ...... If one batch is killed, ten batches, hundreds of batches, will never stop, until the master exhausts his strength, or hides, or has no time to escape, can only ...... Turned into a pile of bones.

The only consolation is that they never go into the house, whether it's a shack made of cloth or a house made of hay, they don't rush in, but on the street, they can only ask for their own blessings.

Another thing that makes people a little reassuring is that they never stay in one place for too long, the transit is extremely fast, and in less than a day, they come in vastness, eat a qiē that they can eat, and then walk vastly, as if they never came, leaving only a mess.

They are invincible.

But they die in a short time.

Died of starvation.

In a country, even bugs can die of starvation, so what about human beings?

The insects of Lujiang City came, and then left again in the panic of the people.

People tentatively walked out of the street, found that the bugs were gone, and wanted to cheer, but their throats could not make a sound at all, and what barely came out was only a whimper.

Because what people expected.

Sure enough, the next day, the grain stores in the city were closed.

The next day, the door opened again, but the price of grain had risen tenfold, and the quantity was limited.

In another day, the price of food rose a hundredfold, and there was only a little to sell.

On the fourth day, the grain store closed again, and there was no intention of reopening.

At this point, everyone understands that in the coming year, they will have to do their best...... Go and survive.

The big family is a little better, there is always a reserve of grain, but the ordinary people's families are miserable, they are not like the surrounding villages, there are ancestral halls of grain reserves.

And until this moment, all the people remembered one thing, that is, the Jiao family had food that could feed the entire city for several years!

Everyone is admiring Qiu'er's wisdom, she is really going to send it this time! The Jiao family will instantly avert the wealth of the entire city.

But Qiu'er, who was the focus of everyone's discussion and even prayed to the center, sat alone in the courtyard and sighed.

Heavenly Sin walked over and asked softly, "What's wrong?" You're going to have great success, although I don't understand how you expected this plague, why are you sighing here? ”

Qiu'er looked at the legend of this continent, but was willing to be a twelve-year-old boy in their house.

With a wry smile, he said: "I didn't know that there was this insect plague, I just like food, I like food, I always feel that food is the foundation of a qiē, I have a lot of money to control, my first thought is to buy food, buy as much food as possible, and even I never thought of selling it." ”

Heavenly Sin smiled and said, "Don't you want to sell them now?" Selling them will not only allow you and your Jiao family to earn ten times the profit, but also be thanked by the people of the entire Lujiang City, there is no better business in the world. ”

Qiu'er said with a bitter face: "I...... I don't want to sell anymore. ”

Tiansin was stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "Do you want to bear to watch those people starve to death?" What can a man do when he is hungry...... It's something you can't imagine, to say something that shouldn't be said, your Jiao family really doesn't have such a strong defense to resist the hungry people. ”

Qiu'er shook her head and said, "No, I don't want to sell it." I know what it's like to be hungry, and no one in the world deserves that kind of disaster, I think...... I want to ......"

Heavenly Sin was in a trance for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Do you want to ...... Disaster relief?! ”

Qiu'er smiled bitterly: "Even if our Jiao family sells these grains, I'm afraid there are many people who can't afford them, after all, we can't sell them too cheaply, and we can't let people in other towns know, otherwise ......."

She didn't go on.

What else would have happened? Otherwise, all the hungry inhabitants of the entire Wu City area around it would rush here.

Bugs don't rush into walled rooms, but hungry people do!
