Chapter 97 Hoarding Grain Market (II) (Ask for subscription, don't raise it)
The man also held gray and yellow burlap bags in his hands, and it seemed that they were all here to buy food! But most of them are ordinary people.
There are also people who carry bamboo baskets on their backs and live in baskets or something, as if they are planning to buy more food, it should be a war, and they must save some food so that they will not starve to death.
Those women were also carrying some bags in their hands, and some of them also had large bamboo baskets and bamboo baskets on their arms, all of which were here to buy food.
Seeing Old Man Chen's pitiful appearance, he was actually very pitiful, but it was not so unbearable, a little better.
Old man Chen is also talking to Li Cheng, the richest man, wanting to buy two catties of noodles cheaper, so that the whole family will not starve to death.
also said: "Grandpa Li, you can do it!" This side is a hundred times the original price, it is really too expensive, cheaper, let's buy a few more catties back, so as to survive this cold winter. ”
Hundreds of people were shouting loudly, and it was really, very loud, very loud.
Li Cheng is the richest man in Fenzhou City, and he is related to the Fenzhou Zhizhou, so in addition to the Zhizhou, he is the second child here.
He was a big businessman, and he often used the intelligence from the north to take advantage of the opportunity to hoard grain, and he also made a fortune several times.
Needless to say, of course, he is strong and domineering, he is completely a snake on the ground, and people who are much older than him can't call him uncle, he has to be called grandpa, so he can be respected.
Li Cheng looked proudly, there were many ordinary people around him, with a very bright smile on his face, this time he was going to make a fortune again, and he had to make more money this time!
The old man Chen spoke just now, this time it was a hundred times the original price, since the war half a month ago, the price of noodles has risen dozens of times, and then it has slowly decreased.
This time it will take several months to fight, but the price is only a hundred times, which is a little low, but the food is in their own hands, if they don't buy it, they can only starve to death in the cold winter!
Said: "You old man Zhang, grandpa will be cheap for you this time, give you a cheap price, even if you give me a reminder, now it is a hundred times the original price, it should rise to one hundred and fifty times, then it is reasonable."
"Now, the price of these noodles is not 200 Wen, but 300 Wen, so that it is in line with the market! However, the price I gave Old Man Chen was still 200 wen a catty, so I pity you! The family saved some food, which was really a big bargain. ”
pointed to the man next to him, holding a long stick, and asked him to weigh the old man Chen, according to two hundred wen a catty, it was really cheap for the old immortal.
After hearing this, Old Man Chen's hands were trembling, how could the price rise to one hundred and fifty times, it was really sky-high, and there had never been such a high price.
Although it was cheaper for himself, the two hundred pounds of noodles were only enough for four catties, and it was not enough for the past few days, and it soon fell to a very miserable point.
The noodles were finished, and the family had no money, so they had to starve to death.
He fell to his knees, and with all the money in his hand, the burlap bag fell to the ground.
said: "Grandpa Li, those few catties of noodles are really not enough!" After a few days, it won't be there, so it's better to give me two catties of noodles and promise never to come again. ”
As he spoke, he crawled towards the place full of grain, and also towards Li Cheng! Want his consent!
Li Cheng felt that this old man Chen was really shameless! With so many people, he has a special treatment, 200 wen a catty, which is half the price, and he doesn't want his family to starve to death.
He actually asked himself to give him two more catties, wasn't that for nothing? is about to catch up with the price he bought, is it difficult to give him the money upside down? It's a stinking meal.
Not only is Old Man Chen a little dissatisfied, but the hundreds of people are also dissatisfied, this is simply hoarding grain, but it is sky-high grain.
Originally, the price of 200 wen, they didn't dare to buy it, it was too expensive, and now it's 300 wen a catty, it's even more terrible than robbing, and it doesn't let people live.
They all made a loud noise, and became very angry, and some wanted to rush directly and snatch the grain.
scolded: "Li Cheng, you don't want anything, this Fenzhou is where you grew up, how can you do this?" Treat your elders and sell them at such a high price, and let people not live? ”
"It's just an animal that is inferior to a beast, and a dog has a better conscience than him and won't bite the people around him."
Some women took out the rotten vegetable leaves and eggs in the basket and threw them at Li Cheng.
Soon it smashed into their faces and clothes, and they looked a little embarrassed and became panicked.
Li Cheng's golden silk robe also fell on two vegetable leaves, and these people didn't dare to smash it directly on him, but the number one bully in Fenzhou City smashed it towards those guards, and it fell on it.
became furious, this is the people are really arrogant, and before they can do anything to them, they have repaired the guards.
Said: "If you are still throwing vegetable leaves or something, smashing me and these guards, don't even think about buying a grain of noodles, no matter how high the price is, it is guaranteed that you will starve to death!" I haven't done it yet, and you deserve to be sprinkled here. ”
"If you injure these guards of mine, the long sticks and big knives in their hands are not a joke, they can definitely beat you half to death, but you did it first, no wonder I was ruthless!"
Many of the people around him were also cowardly, and they didn't dare to throw things anymore, and they were originally very angry, but they could only look at him pitifully.
He did buy all the grain, and there was still grain in some shops, but it was hidden and kept for his own food, and he would never sell it, and the silver was also full.
If you really don't sell the grain, you may really starve to death, and you can't buy food even if you have money.
These fierce guards are not fuel-efficient lamps, and if they move, they can beat people half to death!
Old man Chen also slowly climbed up to the chair, on which was sitting the bully Li Cheng, so he stretched his hand to the clothes on his thighs and begged there.
said: "Grandpa Li, give me more noodles!" I have three children, and they all eat, so give me more to feed them! Otherwise, I really won't be able to survive this winter. ”
Li Cheng looked at it in surprise, Old Man Chen was really good at picking opportunities, he was so busy teaching those Diao people that he didn't notice that this old man actually climbed in front of his legs, and grabbed his expensive clothes with his dirty hands.
He kicked him violently and kicked him more than a meter away, it was really a dirty thing, and he dared to grab my clothes, I don't know how high or low, and I had to wash my clothes several times when I went back.
said: "Old man Chen, I'll tell you one last time, if you stain my clothes, forget it, see that your body is too weak, if you don't fight, you will not be able to save your life."
"Those noodles will give you the price of 200 wen a catty, you buy a few catties and go back quickly, if you make trouble again, it will be the price of 300 wen a catty, and you will be starved to death in less than two days."
Old Man Chen trembled, got up from the ground, and slowly stood up, his body was even dirtier, and there was ash everywhere.
That kick is really hard enough, and I'm listening carefully, it's useless to ask for it! I can only buy noodles, I am really a big profiteer, and I am only interested in profit.
A lot of people in coarse cloth clothes also looked at it with some sympathy, even beating an old man, still not human!
Some people's faces are very angry, they actually sell noodles at such a high price, and some people are also panicked and worried, I don't know what will happen next?
Li Cheng laughed, this old man Chen, the old immortal guy is finally obedient, buy some noodles and go back, and you don't have to take this kick!
I also feel that I have done a great deed, I used to be rampant and domineering, and I bullied both the old and the young, and today I gave him a cheap, maybe I did too many bad things, and it was not like that.
Beside him, the hundreds of guards with long sticks and big knives also laughed along, as if they were very happy, and they felt like they were bullying others.
The dog used the power of the people, relying on the status of Li Cheng, and fought against the people in a state, without any mercy, which was extremely hateful.
continued: "I also said it just now, that's a cheap price for Old Man Chen, you can have a family to raise, you don't want to be starved to death so early, you are all at the price of 300 wen a catty, if you want to buy it, hurry up and queue up, pre-sell 500 catties, and then sell it at the price."
