Looking at the soft and cute appearance of the little girl, Jiang Zhiluo had a feeling of being cute.

That's so cute, isn't it?

It's beautiful and cute.

Also very smart, know how to spend five cents on a loaf of bread.

Especially her face is fleshy, and she is very cute when she speaks.

Jiang Zhiluo wanted to reach out and knead it, but she held back.

Jiang Zhiluo squatted down, looked at her and asked patiently, "Do you want to eat this bread?" ”

Qiao Mengmeng nodded obediently and said, "Well, it's very fragrant, and my brothers say it's delicious." ”

As she spoke, she looked at her brothers around her.

That is, the scholars of the academy.

Jiang Zhiluo took out the last two breads and gave them to Qiao Mengmeng and said, "Here you go, this is what my sister invited you to eat." ”

Jiang Zhiluo looked at the two, tilted her head and thought about it, then took out another five yuan from her pocket, counted dozens of dollars carefully, and said softly and cutely: "Sister, two, ten yuan, give." ”

Jiang Zhiluo felt that the little girl was too funny, "You still have money in your hand!" ”

The little girl patted her little cloth bag and said, "Well, my mother gave it, buy something to eat." ”

"Where's your mother?"

The woman who was as tall as clear ice made Jiang Zhiluo impressed with just a pair of eyes.

She was an extremely calm and calm woman, very different from ordinary women.

Although I have never seen her face, just looking at her figure and eyes, I feel extremely beautiful.

Qiao Mengmeng said: "My mother has something to be busy, and Mengmeng is very well-behaved." ”

Whatever she wants to eat, she will buy it herself.

Seeing her so smart and sensible, Jiang Zhiluo's heart softened, and she couldn't help but want to hug her.

Strangely, she met the children of the village, went to the town to sell bread and met some children, and it was not how she felt when she faced a little girl.

"You take it, my sister doesn't charge you money, so I'll treat it as my sister and invite you to taste it."

The scholar who just wanted to buy the last two breads was embarrassed to grab them from a little girl.

What's more, this is still the little lady who is extremely favored by their academy.

The little girl seemed to think seriously for a moment and said, "But I can't get something for nothing, and I can't take things without spending money." ”

Jiang Zhiluo's heart moved, and she felt that the little girl was well educated.

Jiang Zhiluo could only speak: "In this way, you can invite your sister to eat something else next time." ”

Jiang Zhiluo was just looking for a reason to give the little girl bread.

The little girl nodded happily.

After Jiang Zhiluo sold all the bread, she closed the stall and drove the ox cart away.

She's going to go around and buy food and salt.

The county is larger than the town and has several grain stores.

But after Jiang Zhiluo went to a few shops, she found that the price of grain had risen by one or two pennies per catty.

"Why is the thick noodles ten pennies a pound?"

Before, it was all eight cents a pound.

The shopkeeper was not surprised by Jiang Zhiluo's inquiry, and it seemed that he had been asked a lot.

"This little lady, it's not that the price of food in our store has risen, you go out to inquire, it's all at this price."

Jiang Zhiluo thought of what Mrs. Cui had said, and also thought of the things about food in the previous dream, her face changed: "Why did the price suddenly rise!" ”

"Will the price go up after that?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, but he came back to his senses in an instant, and he said lightly: "This little lady, it is normal for the price of the grain store to rise and fall, and we can't say whether the price will rise or fall after that, if you buy it, you can buy it, if you don't buy it, there are still people who want to buy food in the back." ”

The attitude of the shopkeeper is very perfunctory, and he is too lazy to explain and solicit customers.

It's as if the customer doesn't buy it, there is nothing to lose, and it's not the attitude of doing business at all.

Jiang Zhiluo visited a few grain stores, and the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper almost all had this attitude.

It can be seen that they are not worried about the food not being sold at all.

And they must have gotten some gossip.

Now that she knows the market, Jiang Zhiluo should buy it or buy it.

Jiang Zhiluo deliberately asked tentatively: "I buy more, can it be cheaper?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "Little lady, it's not that I'm not cheap, we are also doing things for the owner, and the price set by the owner can't be changed at will." ”

Jiang Zhiluo's face condensed, as far as she knew, the shopkeeper had some power in his hands, so he could naturally give customers some discounts.

But looking at the attitude of the shopkeeper, she also understood something.

Jiang Zhiluo no longer wasted her tongue, but said: "Bring me 200 catties of multigrain noodles, 200 catties of fine noodles, 5 catties of red beans and 10 catties of soybeans, 20 catties of rice, 20 catties of corn......"

Jiang Zhiluo bought some of everything.

Actually, she wanted to buy more, but she didn't want to attract attention, so she planned to buy some at every store.

Anyway, she has the space, and she won't let people see anything.

When the shopkeeper heard the amount, he was stunned.

He looked Jiang Zhiluo up and down, seeing that she was wearing coarse linen clothes, and she didn't look like someone who could buy so much food at once.

"Little lady, are you sure you want to buy so much grain?"

Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said, "Sure, I'll do some small business, you will give me a cheaper price, and I will continue to buy food from you." ”

When the shopkeeper heard that he was doing business, he dispelled his concerns.

People who do a pasta business do need a lot of food.

Although he had doubts, he didn't think much about it.

directly asked the shopkeeper to help weigh the food, but it didn't cost Jiang Zhiluo.

After Jiang Zhiluo bought it, she put it on the ox cart, and then deliberately turned around, put the grain in the space, and then went to other grain stores to buy it.

In this way, she bought more than 600 catties of things, including all kinds of rice, noodles, grains and other crops.

Be prepared and be more sure-footed.

And when she went to the store to buy salt, she also bought some from each order.

Hoarded a lot of salt.

I wanted to save a little, but it still cost thirteen taels of silver.

As a result, Jiang Zhiluo only had more than six taels of silver in her hands.

But she knew that at this time she could not care about the matter of silver, and that she had to stock up on grain and salt.

When she walked back, most of Jiang Zhiluo's things were placed in the space, and there were a few baskets and baskets outside, so that people couldn't see anything, and the baskets were covered with a layer of straw, so others couldn't spy on anything.

When I got home, it was half of the afternoon.

When Mrs. Cui learned that Jiang Zhiluo had bought a lot of grain and salt, she was also a little more down-to-earth, and said, "It's good to buy it back." ”

"Mother, you don't think I bought a little too much, do you?"

"It's nothing, I've planned to be relieved."

"If there is nothing, if the price of food does not rise, we will not lose anything by hoarding this grain, and if there is a real war, the price of grain will rise, and we will not be afraid of anything if we have this grain to eat."

"I still have food, and I feel at ease."

Jiang Zhiluo said solemnly: "Mother, I went to the grain store and the grocery store to see, the price of all kinds of food has risen a little, I asked tentatively, it is estimated that the price will increase later, but it will rise a little every day, and everyone can't see anything." ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Cui also knew it in her heart.

After having food, Jiang Zhiluo and Mrs. Cui should do business every day.

Everything seemed to be normal in the town and county, but a few days later, in late April, people entered the village and began to harvest grain.
