Chapter 441 The land is desolate and the food is depleted

Privately everyone was muttering in their hearts, but on the surface they didn't dare to say anything.

"Our grain store has newly opened, and our grains are all at half price. If you buy enough 100 Wen, you will get a pound of black flour for free. If you buy 200 Wen, you will get 3 pounds of black flour for free. If you buy 300 Wen, you will get 4 pounds of miscellaneous grains for free. Buy The more you buy, the more you give!”

Uncle Ping's voice was not too high, but everyone onlookers could hear it clearly.

The price that was originally too high was suddenly compromised, and it was even cheaper than other grain stores in the city. Many people had some plans in mind.

What they buy on the left and right is food, something that a whole family needs to eat. They buy it in the morning and in the evening. Now that they can get it cheaper, why are they hesitating?

People who wanted to understand crowded into the shop. Uncle Ping only looked at each other and Liu Da, took a few deep breaths and followed in.

I'm quite busy again today.

Lin's grain store is doing a booming business, and those who are doing the grain business are not happy.

The house now sells old rice for six cents and new rice for ten cents. The city lord's wife seemed to charge a high price when she opened the shop, but at half price, it is one to two cents cheaper than them all.

In addition to the food sent out, Lin's grain store may be able to match the amount of grain sold by the grain stores in the city in half a month in one day.

"My boss, it's cold outside, please go inside and rest." The waiter looked at his boss looking coldly at the outside. Although he felt disdainful in his heart, there was still some flattery on his face.

Why are food prices so expensive today?

The weather has been good this year, and there are bumper harvests everywhere. Although it is the end of the year, food prices are cheaper than before.

In other words, the grain shopkeepers in the city had colluded with each other to set the price and were unwilling to lower it.

"It's hard for a woman to stay at home and take care of her husband and raise children, so she goes out to do business." The shopkeeper looked at the crowded Lin's Grain Shop, and even when he spoke, there was a sour taste.

The boy on the side curled his lips secretly, but did not express his opinion directly.

Even if she is a woman, she still starts a business.

And if you really want to talk about it, I'm afraid he is more conscientious than the shopkeeper himself.

What I was thinking in my heart was one thing, but what I was saying had a different taste.

"Shopkeeper, it's just the first day the new store opens. It won't always be the same price tomorrow and the day after."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he felt a little better.

is not that right.

It's cheap now, but in two days the price will go up. Let's see who will buy food from her.

"Hmph, to be honest, she's just a woman. She was probably a blind cat who met a dead rat in that restaurant back then. It's strange that she would be killed if she did this business." The shopkeeper raised his head, with a half-disdain and half-disdain on his face. He sneered and went back to his shop.

After all, she is just a purdah woman who relies on men to make money. How can she compare with them?

The boy didn't refute anything, but he made a mental note to ask his parents to go to Lin's Grain Store to buy some food when he got home later.

For a time, the conversation among the people in Yancheng after dinner changed from the son of this family who married a bad wife and his head was knocked silly to that of whether Nanzhi was worthy of being the wife of the city lord.

"Let me tell you, that woman got to the position just because she looked like the city lord's first wife! As for her Sanweiju, she must have relied on the city lord's strength from behind to open it. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to do anything at all. I don’t know where people get the money to open a restaurant?

Now, she is such a vixen that she can't hold it back and shows her tail! "

A fat woman by the well raised her triangular eyes and spoke with disdain.

"But I just have that ability." Someone said with a smile.

"Not only did I seize the position of the city's mistress, but the young master also obeyed her and called her grandma. If it were you, would you be able to do this?"

The fat woman felt a little unhappy after hearing what she said.

Even her men's movements were a lot heavier. The bucket filled with well water was placed heavily on the ground by her, causing a lot of water droplets to splash out.

Thick-soled shoes are much more expensive. Most people wear single shoes when going out to do some pleasant things. At most, they only have multiple pairs of socks.

At this moment, everyone was waiting in line to get water. The fat woman’s actions caused many people’s shoes to be stained with well water, which immediately aroused public outrage.

"What are you doing!"

Someone yelled out impatiently, and the people around him also cast condemning glances.

"I'm fetching water. Is it possible that you don't have eyes? Can't you see?"

The fat woman rolled her eyes, picked up the bucket and walked away without looking back, leaving only a few other people looking at each other with curled lips.

"I really don't know what's wrong with this person." Someone said in a low voice who couldn't stand her look.

"Don't pay attention to her, she's just a sour grape."

"But the food sold by the city lord's wife is really expensive. A pound of old rice costs ten cents! Ten cents is enough for me to buy half a catty of meat."

"Then you can't think like that. Now people have said that the price of grain is half, and if you buy grain, you will get brown noodles for free. Calculated, it is much more cost-effective than other grain stores."

"But didn't that mean it was so cheap just after it opened?"

The woman wiped her soaked shoes, feeling a little distressed.

This year, my man injured his leg, and most of the money was used to treat his illness. Now that the New Year is approaching, and the price of food is so high, I really don’t know how to live this day.

"Whatever, if it's cheap now, buy more now. It's the Chinese New Year anyway, so keeping more food at home is safer than anything else."

"That's quite true..."

The women were all neighbors. After thinking about this, they only carried water and went home to get grain bags.

No matter how expensive the city lord's wife sells it in the future, as long as it is cheap now.

Lin's grain store was so crowded that even An Wazi and Lin Xiaoquan were so busy that they couldn't find their way around.

"My, my black face hasn't been weighed yet!"

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoquan felt a pain in his head, and An Wazi also had sweat on his forehead. Seeing that he was motionless, he just poked his waist with his elbow.

"Sister Lin, there are a lot of people in the shop today." Miss Zeng stood on the second floor with Nanzhi and looked at the scene downstairs, smacking her lips.

"It's not enough." Nanzhi raised his hand and gently rubbed his aching lower back.

Her belly became more and more visible, and her body became worse and worse.

Kyoto.

Shen Miaomiao looked at the letter and felt indescribably anxious.

"Miaomiao, what's wrong with you?" As soon as Twelve returned home, he heard a message from his servant that Shen Miaomiao had not left the house since receiving the letter at noon, and he immediately hurried to look for her.

"Twelve, something happened in Yancheng."

Shen Miaomiao's face turned a little pale, and the letter paper in her hand had become wrinkled.

"What happened?"

Twelve's face darkened, and he hurried forward to take the letter from her hand.

"The land is desolate and the food is depleted..."
