Chapter Eighty-Eight: Borrowing Rice

Presumably someone was doing something inside at the moment, Zhou Ziwei directly ignored the "rice has been sold out" hanging on the door panel, and walked in directly.

The boss of the rice shop saw Zhou Ziwei, as if he had seen a beast, it was too late to hide, and he immediately wanted to slip away, but it was too late, Qingyuan walked over directly and blocked the way of the boss of the rice shop.

The owner of the rice shop immediately changed his expression, and looked at Zhou Ziwei with a courteous expression, "Teach Zhou, may I ask why you suddenly have time to come to the shop today?" ”

"Didn't the boss ask knowingly? In addition to buying rice, is it possible that you are here to chat with the boss? ”

Zhou Ziwei felt funny, the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, and she sat down by herself, this boss was so afraid of her, it made her a little confused, but now she is rarely entangled in these little things.

"That's, that's, it's a little confused, I'm really sorry, Zhou Jiaoyu, the rice in this store has been sold out, Zhou Jiaoyu is late, it's a pity."

When the owner of the rice shop heard that Zhou Ziwei was here to buy rice, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if he bought rice, it wouldn't be their business if he didn't have rice, as long as he didn't come to let them donate rice.

Zhou Ziwei looked at the rice shop boss expressionlessly, the rice shop boss's careful thoughts, how could Zhou Ziwei not guess, I saw that Zhou Ziwei listened to the rice shop boss's words, and still smiled indifferently, and did not get up to leave, the rice shop boss was puzzled for a while.

"Zhou Jiaoyu, the rice in the rice shop has been sold out, not to mention my family, even the rice in the entire rice shop in Wanping County must have been sold out."

The boss of the rice shop thought that Zhou Ziwei didn't hear what he said clearly, so he repeated it again, but Zhou Ziwei still didn't move, still sitting in place, smiling at the corner of her mouth, looking at the boss of the rice shop.

"Boss, don't worry, I just want to ask you to borrow the recent account book to see who has bought the most rice recently, don't worry."

Zhou Ziwei knows the faces of these people, if she gives them a good face at the beginning, she must have to find a lot of trouble for herself now, and give him a dismount at the beginning, and it will be much easier to do things later.

Sure enough, as Zhou Ziwei said, after Zhou Ziwei finished speaking, the rice shop boss breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he quickly invited the big Buddha out, I saw the rice shop boss smiling reluctantly.

"Teach Zhou is for this, okay, then Teach Zhou's Message wait a minute, and the little one will go and get it."

Saying that, the owner of the rice shop hurriedly walked into the back room, and after a while, he walked out of the curtain and took out an account book and handed it to Zhou Ziwei.

"Zhou Jiaoyu, this is the recent account book, Zhou Jiaoyu, please take a look."

Zhou Ziwei took the account book, searched carefully, and after finding what she wanted, she handed the account book to the owner of the rice shop.

"Thanks boss, then we won't bother." Zhou Ziwei smiled indifferently and left the rice shop, only to see Zhou Ziwei and Qingyuan walking out of the rice shop on the front foot, and the owner of the rice shop on the back foot hurriedly closed the small door, and the whole door was closed tightly.

Zhou Ziwei glanced back, couldn't help but smile and shook her head, "Is it necessary to see me like this?" As if she was some extremely terrifying monster, Zhou Ziwei walked forward with a smile, she had completed the first step.

Zhou Ziwei took others to other rice shops, got the information she wanted, and then through this information, they went to borrow rice from those people who now have a temporary suffocation of rice.

Zhou Ziwei looked at the full grain in her hand, and her heart was very excited, with these grains, I believe that it can last for two days, and I believe that by that time, the grain from the imperial court will definitely arrive.

Zhou Zi came back with the food, and the victims saw that Zhou Ziwei came back with the food, and they all cheered, and there was strong applause for a while.

They were lucky, they advanced to the city, they were lucky, they were not infected with the wind and cold, they were lucky, because they met Zhou Mingshu.

In the past few hours together, they have seen how hard Zhou Mingshu has worked for them, and he is really good for them, and wants to help them, they don't know what to say in their hearts, and the applause at this moment expresses all the gratitude in their hearts.

"Thank you Lord Zhou, fellow villagers and elders, they are all Lord Zhou, and we have another chance for talents." A man in his forties stood up and said excitedly.

Everyone was also excited, and they all thanked Zhou Mingshu together, Zhou Ziwei smiled and waved her hand, "You don't have to thank me, this is my responsibility, there are many, many people who have paid for everyone, not only me, as long as everyone is healthy and happy, it is enough." ”

Zhou Ziwei smiled and motioned to Qingyuan to order Yahuan to cook porridge, this time the disaster came suddenly, Zhou Ziwei also called out some maids from Zhou's mansion to help cook porridge and distribute clothes together.

Zhou Ziwei watched this scene happily, and the boulder in her heart was also put down.

Under the city gate, the victims squeezed each other together to keep warm, Zhao Yuer also hugged Xiao Di who was leaning on the corner of the wall, and warmed Xiao Di through her own body, everyone was shivering from the cold, especially Cen Beisheng and his men, they gave winter clothes to the people, and they themselves had nothing, only to shiver in the cold wind.

Cen Beisheng was so cold that he had to walk around under the city wall to keep his body from stiff, Cen Beisheng raised his head from time to time to look at the soldiers above, but there was still no reaction.

"Lord Cen, they want us to freeze to death here, didn't you say that you would save us?"

The victims finally couldn't help it, and looked at Cen Beisheng with resentment, their eyes full of anger.

Cen Beisheng didn't believe that this would be the case, he believed that Zhou Mingshu would be on it, as long as he was on it, he must be thinking of a way for us, as long as we waited a little longer, there would definitely be a chance.

"Don't panic, wait, there will definitely be food and firewood."

"We have to wait, we are already waiting for our chests to be pressed against our backs, we can't wait, we are waiting, we are afraid that we will all starve to death here."

"Believe me, you won't." Cen Beisheng tried his best to delay and assure everyone that in such a situation, the mind also plays an extremely important role, if a person gives up his life, in that case, he will not be able to survive such a difficult environment.

Cen Beisheng spent a lot of effort, but finally appeased the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the people, and decided to wait a little longer, even if they were so hungry that they didn't have the slightest strength, they could only persevere.

Cen Beisheng came to the city gate again, and used all his strength to pat the city gate, once, twice.
