Chapter 24 Dilemma
Shopkeeper Chen was caught in a dilemma.

Shen Ying'er also opened her mouth at this time, "This Doctor Liu, if you can't recognize my water eggplant because of your shallow eyesight, then I don't blame you."

"If you recognize this water egg, but deliberately slander me and say that my water egg is fake, then as a doctor, your conduct is worth thinking about!"

Her eyes are like her people's, cold and clear, calm and calm when things happen.

The questioning words seemed to have penetrating power, which actually made Dr. Liu a little guilty.

He stroked the goatee on his chin and sneered: "Ignorant village woman, what qualifications do you have to be slandered by someone like me? It's just nonsense..."

"I want this water eggplant! The price is up to you!"

A clear voice suddenly sounded from behind the three of them.

Shen Ying'er turned around, and saw Shen Chenxing walking towards this side.

The man had sculpted eyebrows and handsome eyes, with a slight smile on his lips.

Wearing a green shirt, as bright as a jade tree.

Shopkeeper Chen and Dr. Liu obviously recognized him, and they said "Boss Shen." with enthusiasm and respect.

Shen Chenxing's reaction to the two of them was flat, and his eyes fell on Shen Ying'er's face, "Sister, the owner of Xiahuichuntang, your water eggplant is of excellent quality and has a long history. I would like to buy it with a lot of money and use it as a store Treasure!"

Now, Shen Ying'er was confused.

what's going on?
He pretended not to know her, and the conversation was very suspicious of being a joke.

Sure enough, as soon as Shen Chenxing said this, shopkeeper Chen, who had been hesitant before, immediately exclaimed.

"Shen Dong's family, I beg you to raise your hand and give me this water eggplant. My old lady has a gout attack, and I'm still waiting for it to save her life!"

"Is that so..." Shen Chenxing pinched his chin with his slender fingers, showing some hesitation.

Shopkeeper Chen went to beg Shen Yinger again.

"Big sister, you have a bodhisattva heart, sell me your water eggplant..."

Before Shen Ying'er could let go, Doctor Liu who was beside him hurriedly said, "Shopkeeper Chen, you have to be careful, what if the medicinal materials you import..."

Shopkeeper Chen interrupted Dr. Liu impatiently: "Old Liu, don't just 'just in case', Dong Shen's family is a big expert, the chairman of the county medicine chamber of commerce, they say this is a genuine product, why are you bothering? "

Dr. Liu blushed, flung his sleeves and went back to the shop behind him.

But here, Shen Ying'er didn't open her mouth to shopkeeper Chen's lion.

She asked Shen Chenxing to help evaluate a fair price, and finally sold the water eggplant in her hand to shopkeeper Chen for six taels of silver.

……

These six taels of silver were the first pot of gold she dug up in this world.

Although the number is not many, it doubles her confidence.

She put the money close to her body, raised her head and thanked Shen Chenxing: "Thank you, Boss Shen, for helping me speak."

Without the assistance of such an authoritative person in the industry as Shen Chenxing, shopkeeper Chen would not know how long he would have hesitated.

Seeing the joy in her eyes, Shen Chenxing's smile became more gentle.

"Sister, you're welcome. Water eggplant is a good thing, so I don't have to worry about no buyers." He said.

Shen Yinger smiled.

She agrees with this statement, the smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and good things will definitely not fall into the hands.

However, his appearance made the transaction much smoother.

And with him checking the price, she, a newcomer, won't be fooled by Shopkeeper Chen and Dr. Liu.

Anyway, thank you very much.

If it were in modern times, she would definitely treat him to a meal or a cup of coffee to express her gratitude.

But here, forget it.

The home was destroyed and rebuilt after the disaster. No matter how much money she had to spend, she wouldn't have a swollen face to pretend to be fat.

If the material aspect doesn't work, I will pay more attention to the language aspect: "I think Mr. Shen's complexion looks good, he should be in good health, right?"

Hearing her question, Shen Chenxing's eyes became warmer.

"Thanks to my eldest sister's concern, I will stay in bed to recuperate after I come back, and I will be supplemented with medicine stones. Now I am fine."

Shen Ying'er smiled: "That's good, Boss Shen's family is an insider, so they naturally know how to take care of it. If that's the case, I'll leave first if I have something to do."

Shen Chenxing nodded and watched her leave.

The boy Donglai ran up to Shen Chenxing, panting and said, "Master, why did you come here so soon after you turned your back? Shopkeeper Wang is still waiting in the teahouse over there!"

Shen Chenxing recovered, "I just met an acquaintance, so I came down to say hello, let's go back!"

Shen Chenxing turned around and went to the opposite teahouse, Dong Lai followed behind, and took a curious look at the front corner of the street.

Huh?
Isn't that the big sister in the cave?

He turned his head to look at Shen Chenxing's back, and Donglai instantly understood.

……

After the water eggplants were sold out, Shen Ying'er didn't turn around and go back to the cave immediately. She still had one more thing to do.

In front of the door of 'Daoxiangfang', there are several signs hanging, with the price clearly marked on it, and the eye-catching price list of rice grains.

Fearing that the common people who came to buy food could not read, there were special staff standing under the sign and shouting loudly.

"Indica rice is [-] Wen per bucket, Japonica rice is [-] Wen per bucket... Hurry up if you want to buy..."

Shen Yinger's eyebrows jumped.

I heard from the villagers chatting yesterday that the usual price for indica rice is [-] renminbi per bucket and that of japonica rice is [-] renminbi. Everyone is worried that the price will increase after the flood.

Unexpectedly, the price doubled directly!
But even so, the people who bought grain were still overwhelmed.

Shen Yinger heard someone questioning the shopkeeper of Daoxiangfang: "Why is it so expensive? They are neighbors on the front and back streets, so can't it be cheaper?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "It's not our family's business, you go to other houses to inquire, it's more expensive than ours!"

The shopkeeper said again: "The official road to the county town and Luanchang Mansion has not receded, and the rice grains cannot come in. Today you think it is expensive and you are reluctant to buy it. If you want to buy it tomorrow, it will not be the same price!"

……

Shen Ying'er stood on the periphery of the crowd, struggling in her heart.

Hearing the shopkeeper's words, she gritted her teeth and planned to buy two buckets of rice to take home for emergency.

It was finally her turn after she squeezed out all her skin.

Before he could open his mouth, the clerk inside waved his hand and yelled at her and the people behind her: "Today's portion is sold out, come early tomorrow!"

Shen Yinger: ...

In a sigh of relief, Shen Ying'er left, and she went to several other rice and grain shops in the town, as if they had made appointments in advance.

She doesn't believe the 'sold out' nonsense.

No business, no evil, the owners of these rice and grain shops all want to hoard goods to make money after the flood.

The price will continue to rise in the future.

Buying rice at this time is really not worth it if you are led by the nose by these profiteers.

Shen Yinger planned to go back first, discuss with Huo Shengximei and the others, and see what everyone said.

A carriage parked by the side of the road caught her attention.

Because she actually saw that little hero here again!
The wet white clothes on his body had already been changed, and he was wearing a set of black clothes with a belt of the same color around his waist.

Standing beside the carriage with his hands behind his back, his waist is straight, like a tall and straight poplar.

Her small face was tense, and her unsmiling expression was like a miniature version of Chu Yunjian.
