Chapter 541: Rice Shop
At the same time, there was a long queue at two rice shops on the other street.
Xu Qingjun and Xu Qingwen kept settling accounts and calculating money, and half of the people they brought were at the door to maintain order to avoid the people from impulsively causing chaos, and the other half were sweating profusely to measure and load rice for the people who came in to buy rice.
In the era of war, food is life!
The people knew how to do it, but some profiteers had no choice but to sit on the ground and raise prices, and the price of grain tripled in just one month.
The people hated him and wanted to die, but they had no choice but to tighten their belts and carry it.
But today, the sound of firecrackers came from the empty Tengzhou City again, and after careful inquiry, I learned that two grain shops had opened one after another on the side street.
At first, they didn't have much hope, after all, at this time, the surplus food in the family would be well hidden, and those who could take it out and sell it were profiteers who wanted to make a fortune.
Unexpectedly, when I arrived here, the price of grain quoted by the shopkeeper was the same as before, and the quality of the grain was not bad.
Now the people were boiling, and those close to home ran home to get the bags.
After thinking about it far from home, I immediately went to the grocery store not far away to spend money to buy a bag of rice, compared to the high price of rice, this bag money is nothing.
This is a great joy for the grocery store owner, and a year's stock was sold out in an instant under the coaxing of everyone.
Seeing that people were coming over to buy bags one after another, the grocery store owner hurriedly instructed his son to go to a grocery store elsewhere.
Due to the unfavorable flow of information, the owner of the grocery store in the distance did not know, and when he saw someone driving a carriage to batch the bags, although he was puzzled, he did not think much about it, and happily changed the bags.
As soon as the grocery store received the rice bags, they immediately raised the price of the bags by ten cents each, which is definitely not done by ordinary people, but at this juncture, it is the top priority to be able to grab the rice, so everyone pinched their noses and admitted it.
"Quick, quick! There was a rice shop on the front street, and it was late, but there was no more! In front of the restaurant, a group of people hula passed.
Everyone in the astonished restaurant looked at each other: "What did those people say just now, someone was selling rice in front of them?" “
"It seems so...", the person who replied was not sure.
"Heh, there are still fools who take out rice and sell it these days, don't be a profiteer and deceive people."
Everyone thought about it and felt that it was very possible, and instantly calmed down again: "It's very likely, let those people touch the nails, let's drink, drink." ”
The people in the restaurant didn't take the outside matter to heart, but Xu Qingyan smiled knowingly.
After settling the bill, she didn't go back to the pharmacy, but went directly to the front street, but before she reached the door of the rice shop, she saw a crowd of people in front of her, and a large number of people rushed to the shop.
The men guarding the door are struggling to reach the door!
At this moment, a person suddenly rushed out of the shop, Xu Qingwen stood in the door, and scolded angrily: "Stop me!" ”
The people were momentarily frightened, but they all stopped their movements and looked at him.
Xu Qingwen's face sank, and he said with a tiger face: "Line up for me, come one by one, otherwise, we will close the store immediately, and no one will want to buy it!" “
The voice of the drink order is wrapped in aura, he is not very old, but the momentum is very impressive.
The crowd was stunned for a while, and then saw that the clerk inside was really about to close, and immediately panicked and shouted: "Queue, queue, let's queue." After saying that, the crowd spontaneously lined up.
Xu Qingyan looked at it from afar and smiled with relief, it was in vain that she cultivated with her every day, so that without her by her side, they could be on their own.
When the crowd lined up again, the rice shop began to sell rice again, but in order to prevent another robbery, this time Xu Qingwen added another rule.
That is, from 20 people each time, to 10 people, and each person is limited to ten catties.
"We have enough rice and grain in our warehouse, as long as everyone lines up, I guarantee that everyone present can buy it, but if you don't listen to the advice and hurt our clerk, don't blame us for reporting to the official."
The people who bought rice outside were all ordinary people, and when they heard the report to the official, it was much more serious than not selling rice, and then they heard that everyone could buy it, and they immediately settled down.
Seeing this, Xu Qingyan did not alarm outsiders, but walked around to the small door behind the shop alone, knocked lightly on the door twice, and heard someone asking inside.
"Who?"
She whispered back, and the door opened from the inside.
"Miss!" The fairy let out a happy whisper.
Xu Qingyan nodded slightly and asked, "There isn't much food in the backyard, right?" “
"No, there are too many people rushing to buy rice outside, and the young master just said that he wants to make up the stock."
Xu Qingyan nodded again: "Okay, then you continue to stay here, I'll go inside and have a look." “
"Hmm." Seeing Xu Qingyan enter the backyard warehouse, a strange feeling crossed the Lingxian Center.
Then he shook his head again, and said secretly: Miss has been enlightened by immortals, even if she has some ability to change things out of thin air, it shouldn't be anything!
She is secretly doing psychological construction for herself.
Xu Qingyan didn't know what she was thinking, and even if she knew, she wouldn't care.
After all, there are too many unusual places on her body, and people close to her like them can't hide it, although she can erase their memories, but she doesn't want to use them often, because if that kind of spell is used too much, it will damage the brain a little.
Therefore, unless they have to do so, let them discover something that is amazing and cannot be kept, such as the fact that Long Ling's real body is a dragon.
For other small problems like daily life, she has always been lazy to care.
Moreover, Lingxian and Zelan are her personal maids, and they are the most trusted people besides their relatives, so even if they have a guess or a suspicion, it doesn't hurt.
After transferring the rice grain out of the Qiankun beads and filling the empty warehouse again, Xu Qingyan couldn't help but be a little distracted when she looked at the rice bag.
The news should reach the barracks soon!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
If it weren't for Long Ling's guy, even the flying eagle that was transmitted between her and Wu Tianyou would have been taken away, she would still have to go around in such a big circle to let Wu Tianyou know that she was here.
I just heard the conversation between the two people in the restaurant, and the situation at the border is not optimistic, and at present, in addition to the lack of combat strength, there is also the problem of food shortage.
I just don't know how much grain the treasury can't allocate if the treasury is not abundant, or if there is a dirt in the generals below?
Either way, though, it's not a good thing for the soldiers who are fighting.
The three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass go first!
If the supply of grain and grass is not available, the battle will be defeated before it is fought.
Fortunately, the current situation is still under control, at least the battle ahead was won, although there were heavy casualties, but in the end it also scared Beiyi away!
It's just that these victories are only temporary, and when Beiyi comes to his senses, the next time the soldiers pointing to Da Zhou will definitely be sharper.
filled this place, Xu Qingyan went to another rice shop to put grain.
The two rice shops are on the same street, not far apart, separated by only a dozen or so shops, some of which are still open and some of which have long since closed.
And in this open shop, there are several grain shops, so peers are jealous, and the hot business of Xujia rice shop has caused many people to be red-eyed.
Someone secretly inquired about the origin of the owners of the two new shops, but it seemed that they were two and a half old children leading the family to take care of them, and they didn't see anyone coming over.
But the more this is the case, the more it proves that the other party has an extraordinary background!
After all, in this troubled world, if you can let the children in the family come out alone to sell rice and grain, and it is so low, you don't believe it if you don't rely on it.
