"Dry... What for? Don't mess around! Warning you! Xia Qiyue said hesitantly as he retreated, with a defensive look, and almost turned his head and ran.

Only then did the shopkeeper react, his expression frightened the little girl, and he hurriedly grabbed the strong men on the left and right, and then apologized with a smile on his face.

"I'm sorry, little girl, it's really because I heard you say that you want to sell food, and the little old man was surprised and surprised, and scared you."

It is not an exaggeration to call himself a little old man, because the shopkeeper looks quite old, with a long beard and a fairy appearance, but he is open a grain shop and doing business, which is very different from his image.

Xia Qiyue stabilized his mind, coughed to hide his cowardice just now, and then leaned closer and asked, "So you accept it?" ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly answered, for fear that the little girl in front of him would run away if he was late.

"Collect, collect, collect!"

"That's... What about the price? Xia Qiyue asked.

The shopkeeper hurriedly opened the half-locked door of the shop, and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please, "Girl, go in and talk, there are ears on the wall here!" ”

Xia Qiyue looked at the open space around him amusedly, where is there a wall here? But he boldly followed.

It's not that she's not afraid, on the contrary, it's useless to be afraid, she's here, she has to live, and she won't get a tiger if she doesn't go into the tiger's den.

After she followed in, the shopkeeper said with a mysterious face, "Girl, now this grain is not lacking, so this price will definitely satisfy you, the girl said how many catties of grain you want to sell, this fine grain or coarse grain, what is the quality?" If you can bring the food over and let the little old man take a look, it will be better to price! ”

Xia Qiyue reached out from the package he was carrying, took a handful of wheat from the space and handed it to the shopkeeper.

In the next second, the shopkeeper's surprised expression was in her eyes.

She doesn't have any surprises, the space must be a high-quality product, this is a certain phenomenon, she has nothing to be surprised about.

The shopkeeper was hooked by the smell of wheat and wanted to eat the wheat in his hand raw, but for the sake of face, he still looked at it for a while and looked up, "Girl, this wheat is a fine product, Xiao Lao'er has not seen such a full grain of wheat for three years, girl, don't worry, at this price, Xiao Lao'er will not treat you badly, how many such wheat are in the girl's hand, Xiao Lao'er has received it." ”

"144 pounds! You set the price, see if I'm not satisfied, and if I'm satisfied, I'll go and pull the grain! ”

She planted three stubbles, so that's all, this is also because her land is too little, and people cross thousands of acres of fertile land, and when they come to her... One point.

She may just be the foot-washing girl next to Tiandao's father, so lightly taken.

"So much... Ok, good, good! That... Little Lao'er, the high-quality grain here is harvested from eight copper plates..."

The shopkeeper pressed his fingers and counted it, Xia Qiyue listened, the corners of his mouth hooked, and eight copper plates were collected in a catty? It's a bit of a thought, that's the price when there was no famine, and now that the drought has caused famine, and there is no food to eat, can it still be the same as the usual price?

But she stood there silently, observing the appearance of the shop.

It is true that there is not a grain of grain left, and it seems that there is no granary here.

Without waiting for her to observe more, the shopkeeper spoke, and he said with a flattering smile, "Girl, our fine grain is eight copper plates a catty, but considering the current situation, how about Xiao Lao'er give you five times the price, and forty wen a catty?" ”

When he said this, he felt that the price was sky-high, and he was confident, and he felt that the little girl in front of him would definitely agree.

Unexpectedly, Xia Qiyue turned around and was about to leave, and he didn't want to pay attention to the shopkeeper anymore.

The old shopkeeper panicked, this is not good, more than 140 catties of fine grain, if this is taken back and then sold to those powerful or rich people, then he will not only double the silver, but also have a lot of benefits, not only for the grain shop, but also for him personally.

"Huh? Girl, why are you leaving? Not satisfied with the price? That's five times the price, huh? Little girl? ”

Xia Qiyue stopped, turned around, and interrupted the shopkeeper in a casual tone, "I said the shopkeeper, you don't accept it sincerely!" The Su family in the east of the city knows, right? I sold it once at noon, and they bought it at ten times the price, but you only bought it for five times, and I was a life-saving food, and you actually had to make so much money from it, aren't you sorry? ”

After speaking, Xia Qiyue still turned his head and waved his hand, "I'll take it to Su's house to sell it!" The province has been deceived by you! ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he looked a little flustered, it turned out that this little girl knew the market.

Yes, lately, fine grain has not been able to be bought at all, and those rich people don't care about this little money at all, if they can really buy fine grain, even if he raises the price to 20 times, there are people who are willing to pay for it, and they will rush to buy it.

Thinking of this, he immediately went out and grabbed Xia Qiyue, who kept walking out, "Okay, okay, grandma, just ten times the amount, don't toss!" Okay, right? ”

Xia Qiyue didn't go to Sufu again because she didn't want to toss anymore, and she didn't want to arouse the suspicion of others, but this time she fell into her arms, she didn't twist, she happily agreed, and then borrowed the board car from the grain store to push back all the wheat in the space.

The fourth stubble that had been planted was almost ripe, but she couldn't wait, so she sold it first, and then went back to the inn to draw a lottery, and dinner was about to be eaten.

The shopkeeper checked that all the grain was of this quality, and then he gave the silver with pleasure.

A total of eleven taels and five hundred and twenty texts.

With the remaining five hundred and sixty-eight wen in her hand, she now has twelve taels and eighty-eight wen in her hand.

Now you can draw another paid lottery, and you can still have more than two taels of silver left.

Thinking about the shoes on the feet of my younger siblings, the torn clothes patched on the two children, and my own...

No, she still can't be too high-profile, just change everyone's shoes, and forget the bedding first, the weather is still warm anyway.

Walking back, I passed the grocery store where I bought sacks, and walked in.

They don't have pots and pans, and it's really inconvenient to escape from the wilderness.

Buy a pot first, buy five bowls and five pairs of chopsticks.

The grocery store Xiao Er recognized her when he saw her, after all, he had just been here.

Xia Qiyue bought a small iron pot, which was really small, and the cooked things were only enough for the five of them to eat.

Because the clay pot was fragile, she chose an iron pot that was twice as expensive, but she couldn't buy too big one, and they couldn't lift it.

In the end, Xia Qiyue remembered that he couldn't eat salt at home, so he asked Xiao Er to take some refined salt.

But Xiao Er was stunned, "I don't know what the refined salt is in the objective mouth?" ”

"It's salt!" Xia Qiyue explained.

"Girl, I didn't know if you said the salt earlier? Wait! I'll get it right for you! ”

As he spoke, he ran to the backyard and got it back in a short time.

But Xia Qiyue looked at the salt that Xiao Er got back in front of him, and was a little stunned.
