Escape from the Famine

Chapter 45
The market here is very big, and although there are many things, it is too single.

There are only a few kinds of vegetables, and there is not much food.

Sure enough, food supplies here are in short supply.

"Boss, how do you sell this?"

Chiyu finally saw someone selling grain, which was a kind of wheat with brown skin.

Only wheat is not ground into flour.

The boss saw someone coming, and immediately greeted him warmly, "Guest, do you want to buy grain? This is all rye grown by myself, and it costs [-] yuan a liter."

One liter is two catties, fifty Wen a catty, which is cheaper than the ones sold in other cities, and it can be considered very expensive.

If she sells the rice in her shopping mall, wouldn't she make a lot of money?
If you want to unlock the next item in the mall, you must reach the purchase amount of silver.

She has only unlocked two items so far, except for the rice and salt at the beginning, gasoline and cooking oil.

"Why didn't I see white rice for sale?"

Chi Yu asked deliberately.

The boss's face changed drastically when he heard it, he looked around, and said in a low voice: "The guest officer doesn't know, the only one who can sell rice here is the Yan family, hey! It's the biggest tent over there. Others are not allowed to sell it. The price It's three hundred wen a catty."

Chiyu looked in the direction pointed by the boss. In the center of the market, there was a particularly large yurt, which was particularly conspicuous.

Three hundred yuan a catty of white rice is still a conscience price, which is better than those who sell the country for one or two silver a catty.

"Why can't others sell it?" Chi Yu was curious, isn't this equivalent to monopolizing the market?
The boss smiled wryly, "The Yan family here is the local snake, the boss! They have many guards, and they are the ones who collect the protection fee. If the barbarians come here, it is their family who prevent the barbarian invasion, so they will do whatever they say. No one dared to refute."

The Spring Valley of these years is no longer the Spring Valley of the beginning. At that time, it was the poor who made their own decisions and lived freely here.

Later, because of wars and natural disasters, many people came to Spring Valley for refuge.

Because the four seasons of Spring Valley are like spring, people here don’t have to worry about food and clothing. The resources here have saved many people’s lives. More and more people came and gradually became what it is today.

This is not so much a delta as it is a city.

A city surrounded by mountains on three sides and with natural barriers.

Later, some powerful people gradually became local snakes here, and those honest people became the most inferior farmers.

Chi Yu looked at the yurt in the distance, the Yan family?When I have time, I will meet with the Yan family. Why can he sell white rice but I can't?

"Master, shall we go over there and have a look?"

It is also the first time for Yinlin to come to Spring Valley, and he is also very curious about the Yan family.

"Go! Go and have a look!" Chi Yu took Yin Lin to the yurt.

Sure enough, it is a land snake in Spring Valley. The yurt does not look good on the outside, but the decoration inside is very luxurious.

"Is this customer looking to buy something? We have everything here."

The store clerk saw the two smiling and came forward to greet them.

The store clerk is very enthusiastic, and he doesn't look down on people.

Chi Yu said: "Do you sell everything here?"

Looking at the inside of the yurt, the area is about several hundred square meters, and it is not a problem to accommodate hundreds of people.

There are quite a lot of people wandering around to buy things now, and many of them are still wearing silk and satin. It seems that the outside city comes here to buy things.

"That's right! Our Yan family shop sells everything, flying in the sky, running on the ground, food and drink, what do you plan to want?"

The store clerk waited patiently for Chi Yu with a smile on his face.

"Do you have white rice here?"

When Chiyu came out this time, besides looking for someone to help her build a house, she just inquired about the types of grain and vegetables here.

Then there is buying some grain for the workers to eat later.

"Yes, yes, yes! This way, please!"

The store clerk took Chiyu through the dazzling array of goods to the end of the yurt, where food was placed.

"Look, this is white rice and other grains."

The shop assistant kept introducing the things he had here.

Chi Yu nodded and looked at the grain area. In addition to white rice, there were flour made from rye, soybeans, black beans, mung beans, and sorghum.

There is nothing like corn, wheat, or millet, let alone rare varieties such as black rice, red rice, and glutinous rice.

The white rice here is still the same as the white rice she sells in the city outside. It is all inferior rice with incomplete grains, and even has rice husks on it.

Chi Yu didn't buy white rice, which was not tasty at all. She only planned to buy some rye flour and some soybeans and mung beans.

I bought these because beans can be eaten as raw bean sprouts, and it’s not a problem to always eat rice. Buy some rye flour and make some pasta to improve the taste.

Waiting to find someone to help him build a house, the boss will take care of the food, right?
If you always eat white rice, or rice made of high-quality white rice, you will always be suspicious after a long time.

Especially when there is no fine rice here.

Now is not the time to be a waver, the most important thing is to survive.

"I want two hundred catties of rye flour, fifty catties each of soybeans and mung beans."

The price of rye flour is one hundred yuan per catty, and the price of rye ground into flour doubles directly.

Chi Yu twitched in distress.

It can't go on like this!Spending money like water!
She had to find a way to sell the rice in the mall!

Chiyu asked Yinlin to watch the guys load the grain, and then asked them to deliver it to the carriage, while she went to find someone who could build a house by herself.

After inquiring all the way, I finally arrived at the most remote place in the Grand Bazaar.

There are people everywhere here, standing or sitting together and talking about something, the people here are all men, and when they saw the fish coming from the pond, they swarmed around her.

"Girl, do you want to work?"

"Look at me? I'm full of strength! I can work! I can do dirty work!"

"Girl, you are absolutely right to find me. I work more and eat less."

"girl,,,,"

A group of people surrounded Chiyu trying their best to sell themselves, and if they couldn't find a job, it proved that they were going to be hungry.

"Stop, stop! Which of you can build a house? Who can grow crops? Is there anyone who can cook?"

Chi Yu pushed away the people surrounding him, stood on a rock and roared.

The black crowd was quiet for a moment, and then the pot exploded.

There should be a lot of people looking for this girl!

"Girl, I can build a house! I used to help people build houses."

Qi Lanting pushed forward from the crowd and said.

In the past, he used to help people build houses outside, but now he builds houses with thatched huts, so he earns less money, so he can only do more work.

It had been a long time since he had received a job to build a house, and he had to seize the opportunity when one came today.

Chi Yu looked at the person who came, with a burly figure, a Chinese character face, and an upright look. He was wearing a coarse sleeveless short-sleeved shirt, showing his bulging tendons.

"You really know how to build a house?"

Chi Yu didn't quite believe it, could he understand the drawings?

"Yes." Qi Lanting was decisive.

Chi Yu took out the blueprint he asked Arthur to draw and said, "Look, can you understand this blueprint?"

"Okay!" Qi Lanting took the blueprints and looked at them, the more he looked at them, the more frightened he became. He could understand every single blueprint, and there were some that he couldn't understand.
