Chapter Seventy-Nine: Hoarding Grain
A woman with a haggard face, holding her, staggered to the autumn lady.
"Qiu Niangzi, save my family! She was already burned and confused, and she couldn't move no matter how she shouted......"
Qiu Niangzi hurriedly stepped forward to help her up: "Sister-in-law of the Xu family, hurry up, what's going on?" Didn't Brother Xu go to buy medicine? Is it useless to use medicine? ”
The sister-in-law of the Xu family cried: "The conscienceless person has been out for a long time, and he hasn't come back yet!" It's going to be gambling again! ”
At this point, the child has been placed on a wooden plank.
Jiang Yu squatted down to check, the little girl was only four or five years old, her lips were chapped and slightly open, and her cheeks were red.
Jiang Yu turned his head to look at the little monkey and asked, "Is there hot water?" Hit a pot. ”
"Yes!" After saying that, a little beggar ran to fetch water.
Physical cooling was done first, and then some chai was bought from the system.
Zhong Da's fever prescription, Jiang Yao remembered.
In addition to firewood, red dates, and hay, they also bought a lot of them on the street today.
By the time the medicine was boiled, things were figured out.
It turned out that the father of the child was the man they met at the gambling house today.
lost all his daughter's life-saving money, and mortgaged his finger to borrow money to turn the tables.
When Jiang Yu left the gambling house, he also heard the sound of him excitedly continuing to bet.
I guess I lost again......
……
In the city, when the people from the county government and the gambling house rushed to Chen's house.
Except for the fainted official and a corpse, the Chen family has been empty.
According to the official who woke up, the three people appeared suddenly, and they had obviously been hiding in Chen's house for a long time, and they chose the opportunity to sneak attack.
After Qian Ye received the news, he frowned.
It's just a few passers-by, so slippery.
Not only did the money not get back, but it also folded one person.
At this time, he couldn't help but think, could it be that these people are really spies?
It's a pity that no one has seen their true faces until now.
In fact, although they ruined the good things of the gambling house and divided the money, it was not a big deal.
It's just that the gambling house doesn't see that they don't have a local accent, and even if someone dies, no one knows.
And in Qian Ye's heart, there is one more thing he really cares about.
That is, was Jiang Yu's winning at that time luck, or was he really capable?
If it's the former, that's it, and if you run away, you will run away.
But if it's the latter, then he is reluctant to let them go.
That night, in Jincheng, many families were knocked on the door by officials in the name of searching for spies.
……
At this time, Jiang Yu, who had been paying attention to the situation in the city, also knew.
After some persuasion by Qiu Niangzi, most of the people decided to leave with Qiu Niangzi.
Because the autumn lady said that she has food!
Even Sister-in-law Xu decided to leave with her children.
As for that gambler, there should never be such a person in Bento from now on!
……
Because he was worried that the people of the county government would search for the west of the city.
The people deliberated and decided, and immediately set off.
Mr. Feng led people out of the city through the secret passage first.
After the little monkey broke off, because there were still some little beggars who did not come back.
As soon as the time came, Jiang Yao took Jiang Yu and Qiu Niangzi, avoided everyone, and teleported to Qiu Niangzi's house.
Only then did I find out that Boss Huang and his men had all run away.
The little beggar sent by the little monkey to guard them was knocked unconscious.
Qiu Niangzi woke them up: "What's going on?" ”
They were only attacked.
"Go back to the ghost house, the little monkey is waiting for you there, the people sent to pick you up are already on the way, be careful, don't run into the people from the county government, they are searching for you all over the city."
After some explanation, the little beggars left on their own.
The three of them turn on the sweep mode.
Half of the clothes in the courtyard have been stacked neatly by the little beggars.
At this time, it is too late to subdivide, so it is directly included in the space.
Then there are all kinds of looms, fabrics, fuel, embroidery threads, etc. in the autumn lady's house, and the complete objects are comparable to the cloth village.
Jiang Yao simply spent another 100,000 yuan to buy ten backpack space.
At this time, her space backpack already had thirty cubic meters, and the remaining steps were less than ten thousand.
Qiu Niangzi said that she had heard a lot of food, so the space should be enough to fit.
And when Qiu Niangzi took the two sisters to the warehouse.
Jiang Yao realized that the space seemed to be insufficient......
Qiu Niangzi's house is Sanjin, and the main activity area of the girls is usually in the Erjin courtyard.
I also live in the main house and the east and west wings, and the back cover room is vacant.
Later, when they had a lot of lists, and the ready-to-wear clothes and fabrics had to be piled up, they used the back cover room as a warehouse.
But now, all the fabrics are piled up in the upside-down seat in the outer courtyard.
The back room was filled with food and medicinal herbs.
The two sisters looked at the full back room in shock, and were speechless for a moment.
I don't know this grain, I still think she is going to rebel......
"Because we usually don't go to the streets, we usually buy enough rice and grain for half a year."
Two Sisters: ...... Half?? That's six back rooms!
Qiu Niangzi also seemed to think it was a bit exaggerated, and explained: "Usually we don't stock up so much, but this year, the little monkeys have connected with the villages outside the city.
At the time of the autumn harvest, he helped me buy a lot of grain at a price lower than the market price and smuggled it back. I heard of a drought in the east, and I was worried that the grain merchants in the city would raise the price of grain.
Thinking that he would prepare some food for the people in the west of the city, and if there was a surplus, he would be able to help the refugees at that time, so he prepared more. ”
In fact, Qiu Niangzi's worries are not unreasonable, there are already many grain merchants who are stockpiling grain, just waiting for a few days to raise the price of grain.
It is also a little monkey who is lucky, well-informed, and willing to endure hardships.
Go to the homes of those who have surplus food, and go door to door to collect grain.
One pound or two pounds is not too little, and ten pounds and 100 pounds are good.
Although the price given is lower than the market price, it is still slightly higher than that of the grain merchants.
ran all over the villages near Jincheng, and was stunned to take back so much.
It's no wonder that there are large and small bags of grain.
Jiang Yu said strangely: "What about these herbs? ”
It's understandable to hoard food, but I've never seen ordinary people hoarding herbs.
Although it is much less than the food hoarded, it is also equipped with a back cover room!
Speaking of herbs, Qiu Niangzi was a little embarrassed: "This herb is ...... White. ”
"White ???"
"Well, it was originally shipped by foreign medicine merchants to sell, and they all came in previous years, but this year due to the drought, there are fewer foreign businessmen, and business in the city is not good."
"No matter how bad the business is, the pharmacy shouldn't be affected, right?"
The druggiver thought the same thing, and delivered the goods as usual. Who knew that the pharmacy in the city colluded to suspect that his goods were expensive, and left him with two truckloads of goods, and the pharmacists had nowhere to make a move, so they asked around.
The little monkey came to inform me when he knew the news, and when I asked, most of the two carts of medicinal materials were some wound medicine, thinking that the little monkey would rarely bump and get injured on weekdays, so he ordered this medicine with him. ”
"How can you say that it was for nothing?"
"But it's for nothing, the medicine merchant also often comes to Jincheng, and when he hears my reputation, he is also very happy and delivers it directly to the door.
However, I ran out of money in order to buy food, so I made an agreement with him to come to the door the next day to get the silver. Who knows......"
"The man is dead?"
