Chapter 3912 Sure enough, I didn't expect it! 2

The Zhong family really couldn't bear it any longer. It had been three days since the time when they were scheduled to pay the food, and there was not much improvement in the three days.

The senior members of the Zhong family were so worried that their hair was turning gray. They couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, and they got together to discuss important matters.

The elder of the Zhong family said: "Patriarch, so much food is too difficult for us, and now the price of food in the city is also skyrocketing, and there are many other families competing with us for this food,"

"At present, the price of grain will only be higher in a few days. So far, we have spent nearly 17 taels of silver for less than [-] catties of grain. Although many of them are high-grade Lingmi, but The price is too high.”

Probably in the past, they could get this food without spending a penny, and they could use this food to achieve their ulterior purposes.

How many years have they not paid out a single penny, and now they have spent 10,000+ taels of silver for food that is free in their eyes, which is really distressing and unbearable.

The third elder of the Zhong family also said: "That's right, if Patriarch continues like this, our Zhong family will use our own family's funds. Even if we spend all of it, we may not be able to buy the food that the nobles need. This is too difficult."

Others also nodded in agreement, and the fifth elder of the Zhong family said: "The Patriarch and our people have already visited the general grain depot, but the possibility of success is only half. , I guess it’s a big move.”

"Our Zhong family has always been very low-key in the mysterious three cities, just to complete the above tasks and add luster to our family in the base camp, but now if we become high-profile, we will be noticed by the city lord's mansion, so if we want to take action, we can also It must be tossed up as soon as possible."

The Patriarch of the Zhong family didn't say a word. In fact, he himself was in a state of disarray. He spent 10,000+ taels of silver for less than [-] catties of grain. How could this be possible in the past?

Maybe it's the past, and he can no longer use the old calendar to judge people, but he also feels very distressed when the real money is spent, blood dripping from his distress.

Therefore, he said: "The grain depot will continue to wait and see. If there is an opportunity, we must not let it go, but more people should continue to purchase grain, so that we can go one step further in fulfilling the task of the nobleman."

"It's the Patriarch!" All the elders agreed with this decision in unison.

As for whether he also agrees in this way, it's really hard to say, just look at the faces of the elders.

Obviously, their Zhong family used to be close to mountains and rivers in the three mysterious cities, and they didn't need to spend almost any money, they only needed to pay for food or other resources in the three mysterious cities.

They can then enjoy high-quality resources and benefits, and now they can spit out what they ate in the past, which makes their appetites uncomfortable.

Therefore, after these elders left, only the Great Elder remained, and they continued to discuss matters in secret.

The elders of the Zhong family set up a special small barrier, and no one would hear the voices inside unless there were people with higher immortal roots than them.

When the elder of the Zhong family was doing these things, he said mysteriously: "Patriarch, the full moon is coming soon, and there has been no movement in the passage for four months. I heard that there will be new resources this time. I don't know if it will Will there be us?"

Patriarch Zhong's eyes suddenly brightened and said: "I'm so confused, I almost forgot such an important matter."
