"What is Sissy busy with? I see you've been writing and painting there for a long time." Wang Xiujuan came over with a bowl of porridge.

"Milk, why did you bring me all the food, I'll just come over and eat later." Ning Qingxi put down the things in his hand and walked over to help catch the bowl of porridge.

On the round table in the room, Wang Xiujuan put down the side dishes on the tray one by one.

"It's been a long wait, everyone's breakfast is finished, you haven't finished eating, hurry up and eat breakfast."

Ning Qingxi took a small bite of the porridge in the bowl, and then sandwiched the spicy cabbage with chopsticks.

"What are you doing there?" Wang Xiujuan glanced curiously at the numbers in the book.

"Isn't this closed? The car dealership and the department store are closed, so I took advantage of this time to quickly sort out the account books, I feel that this year has been done in vain, and those beasts in the car dealership need to spend money on eating and chewing horses, and many things in the department store and supermarket are not long in time, fortunately my father came forward to buy them, otherwise many things would have to be put away."

"Let's do it for nothing, anyway, our family doesn't lack that bit of silver." Wang Xiujuan said.

"Milk, it's not a question, I'm thinking about how many people who live in the city eat and drink? The families living in the village may have a lot of food in stock, but many people living in the city live by working in the city, and now most of the shops are closed all of a sudden, which means that many people have no source of livelihood."

Wang Xiujuan lightly nodded Ning Qingxi's forehead, "You little girl thinks a lot, this is something your father cares about, don't worry about it."

Ning Qingxi put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "Milk, you can't say that, our family is both prosperous and lossy, if my father doesn't notice this problem, there will probably be problems in the city."

"The people who live in the city also have some savings, it's only been half a month, it's not as exaggerated as you say." Wang Xiujuan said.

"That's right, but I want to tell my dad that we need to plan ahead."

Department stores and supermarkets sell a lot of things, but rarely involve rice, flour, grain and oil, there are yes, the number is not much, every day to replenish, before the department store supermarket closes, these in-demand materials have long been sold out.

"Milk, let's go to the street later." Ning Qingxi wiped his mouth.

"Okay, what are you doing on the street?"

"I guess the news that we can cure the plague has already gotten out, and I always feel like those grain stores are going to be moths."

The grain stores in Taixi County are all foreign merchants, but many have been in Taixi County for two or three years, and the largest grain store in the city is opened by the Wang family, when the plague broke out at the beginning, they wanted to take the opportunity to raise prices, but they were forcefully suppressed by Ning Changrong, and for some reason, the Wang family business house did not resist.

But now Ning Qingxi always has an indescribable sense of uneasiness in his heart.

"Okay, okay, you put the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen to wash them, and I'll find you a mask." Wang Xiujuan said as she walked out.

Ning Qingxi got up and brought the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen, ready to be washed.

Li Dafeng saw it and hurriedly stopped, "Xixi, you put it there, and my aunt will wash it later." His hands were still wrapped in flour, apparently preparing something for noon.

When the plague broke out, the movement of people was restricted, and their families had to fend for themselves, and the helpers who had come to their homes to cook could not come.

Ning Qingxi's subordinates didn't stop, "Third aunt, you are busy with yourself, I have already washed it." Skillfully put the dishes and chopsticks in their proper positions, wiped their hands, said hello and left.

Li Dafeng happily sighed with Fang Chunmei, "We Xixi are really diligent. He has a good brain, and he doesn't know which stinky boy will be cheaper in the future."

Fang Chunmei said, "Don't say this in front of your mother, your mother said that getting married so early is not good for your health, and Xixi will definitely have to stay for several years." If the eldest brother hears it, I'm afraid I'll have to throw their faces at them.

"I know, I know, how can I say it in front of my mother?"

……

After cleaning up, the grandparents and grandchildren went out together with their arms.

When you meet the people who are patrolling, you will not stop them when you see the standard sleeves they are wearing.

Patrol officers

As well as special managers who want to go out, they will wear standard sleeves on their hands, which is equivalent to a work permit.

Other ordinary people can only go out at certain times, so as to prevent possible cross-infection and better control the people.

Ning Qingxi purposefully took Wang Xiujuan to visit the grain store in the county.

There is no problem in most places, the price is still written at the front, it was set by Ning Changrong, it is a little higher than usual, but it is not too high, after all, it is difficult to transport at the moment, and Ning Changrong is not too forced.

And also promised them that if they don't raise prices indiscriminately, they will give them some tax incentives in the coming year.

Many of the grain stores who are willing to believe in them are very cooperative.

"Look at you, you're just worrying about the sky, aren't these grain shops quite normal?"

"Milk, how many more, let's go and see." Ning Qingxi shook his head.

The two walked together to the city, where several of the largest grain stores in the county were gathered, and it was also the place with the largest population flow.

"Sissy! Auntie!" Ning Husheng saw the two of them greet each other warmly at a glance.

"Tiger is born. You're busy, you're busy, leave us alone, we're here to see."

"Uncle." Ning Qingxi also said hello.

Ning Husheng was tightly covered by the mask, and his voice was a little buzzy, "Okay, Aunt Xixi, you go shopping, come to me if you have any questions."

The queue to buy grain was long, Wang Xiujuan and Ning Qingxi did not line up and rushed to the front line, if it weren't for the armbands on their hands, knowing that they were heavy inspectors, I was afraid that the people would make trouble.

Who will come to line up to buy food when, these are all allocated, and no one dares to cut the line. Those who cut in line will be warned, and the warning will be invalid, and the next time you will reduce the amount of food you buy, and you will not starve to death, but you will not be full.

The line was long, and the two walked for a few minutes to get to the front.

"Don't you think it's nothing?" Wang Xiujuan patted Ning Qingxi's arm.

Just when Ning Qingxi thought that he was worried and was about to go home, a guy came out of the grain shop, he was carrying a wooden board in his hand, and the latest grain prices were written on the board.

When the literate people saw it, they immediately exploded.

"What's going on!? Why is the price suddenly rising!?"

In the last years of the war, grain prices fluctuated, which was normal, but because of the large amount of land they had reclaimed, although the pumpkin seeds and fish and rice breeding provided by Wang Xiujuan had not yet reached the harvest time, the original strategy of tuntian also achieved initial results, and the grain price was generally stable around ten yuan for rice, at most floating a little.

Even if the plague breaks out now, it will be twenty coins of rice at most.

Now the wooden sign that this guy took out directly reads Doumi for eighty dollars!
