Crossing the road to riches

Chapter 27 The Rise of Meow Meow
Wen Hao sighed, forget it, this is what he deserves, if he had known that there would be such a bloody thing, he should have negotiated the conditions with the King of Hades, and just brought himself some golden fingers, but unfortunately the charm is really bad .

While regretting in my heart, I came to the only grain shop in the town. There were not many types of grain, but compared with the previous few days, the price had increased again.

Brown rice costs 25 Wen a catty, which is not affordable.

In the end, I could only look at sweet potatoes, yams, and taro resignedly. The taro is out of stock. Potatoes cost eight cents a catty, and sweet potatoes cost six cents a catty. This is also a price increase, but the increase is small, only one. Two pennies.

Wen Hao wanted to bargain: "Can I buy more from the shopkeeper, can it be cheaper?"

The shopkeeper looked at Wen Hao's shabby look, and thought about how much he could buy at most, but he was not mean: "This is already the lowest price, but I don't have a lot of money in my conscience. To be cheap, I need at least five hundred catties." ".

Wen Hao pointed to sweet potatoes and yams: "I only want these two, how about [-] catties each? You give me the cheaper part, and the cheaper part will be counted as food for me."

Obviously, the shopkeeper did not expect to have a distinguished guest today: "Are you sure? Don't fool me, pay the money first and then get the goods. These are all in the cellar."

The shopkeeper is worried about these two sales, and wants to sell these low-profit products quickly to free up space to store grain. The grain store has already heard the news that the grain is tight, and the grain harvested this year is less than in previous years. Prices have gone up in many, many places. This year's grain prices will definitely rise sharply. Store more high-profit products, and wait for this year to make a lot of money, and then open a branch in the county.

Wen Hao handed the money to the shopkeeper for counting. The shopkeeper is a shrewd man, but he looks simple and honest. Now he smiles like a chrysanthemum swaying in the autumn wind.

"Okay, okay! You see, it's a thousand catties in total. I'll give you another thirty catties. How about giving you a small bag of white rice to beat your teeth, and I'll send you all the food to your home."

Wen Chun wanted to see if there was room for further advancement, but was stopped by Wen Hao, who also wanted to make money, this is already a very good discount, the most important thing is that it can be sent to the yard, which saves a lot of trouble.

The shopkeeper thought that Wen Hao would bargain, but he didn't expect that he was not greedy, and his heart opened up a lot. Looking at Wen Hao's appearance, although he was dressed poorly, he was neither humble nor overbearing, he spoke politely, and was not greedy. What to do with more food: "Why do you buy so much food, these sweet potatoes and yams are not so easy to store".

Smart people never need to speak so bluntly and answer with a smile: "There are a lot of people in the family. If I don't buy it now, I am afraid that the family will not be full this year."

The shopkeeper nodded in agreement: "Yes, I also made preparations early. Maybe I can make a fortune this year. If you need food in the future, come to me. If the quantity is large, I will give you a cheap price in private."

Wen Chun watched the two of them talking like they were playing charades, and secretly hated himself for not being smart at all, for not being able to understand what they were talking about.

I bought a lot of coarse salt, and after Chinese cabbage, I was really poor.

Now the whole family has no more than a few hundred Wen.

Wen Mao has been very busy recently, shopping around, and shopping around, looking for cheap and high-quality ones, the foundation of the yard has already been laid.

She still has one, two or three dollars on hand, and the budget is sufficient.

Just as I was comparing the list, the women who were looking for trouble came again, and snatched the list from Wen Mao's hand as soon as they came: "Sister Miao Miao, I haven't seen you for a long time. I don't know if you miss my sisters. Didn’t you say you wanted to invite us to eat last time? I see that you’ve bought so many things recently that you’re quite rich, so borrow some to spend.”

Sister Wen Chun is not around, her legs are trembling, and now the money is on her body, what if it is robbed, she took a few steps back vigilantly: "What are you doing? No money, so young people looking for some serious work Do it, don't do nothing here."

Those few people seemed to have heard some big joke: "Hahahahaha, little cat, your brain was stunned by the mouse's tail? You pretended to be a serious person for a few days, and you couldn't see yourself clearly. That’s right, those who are sensible should take out the money, otherwise we will do it.”

Mao Wen tightly grasped the purse, this money must not be lost, Miss Wen Hao believed so much that if she lost it, what would she have to face her, how would she behave again, how could she have the face to go back.

It was hard for her to raise her head and be a human being.

Even though she was so scared that her legs were trembling, she fought hard today to keep the money: "If you want the money, you will die."

However, in their eyes, Wen Mao's fierce resistance was nothing more than a dying struggle, and they rushed over to try to grab it. Wen Mao subconsciously picked up the stone on the ground and gave it to the person in front.

Blood flowed all over his face in an instant, followed by screams: "Ahhh! Help, I'm disfigured, blood! My face is covered in blood."

These people were also bullying, they didn't dare to go forward immediately, but they never dared to trouble Wen Chun.It's just that Wen Maosulai is timid and easy to bully, and he doesn't seem to be easy to provoke now, so he immediately ran away with his help.

Before leaving, I didn't forget to leave a harsh word: "Wen Mao, you are doing well, just wait for me, I will ask my eldest sister to teach you a lesson, and then don't regret it."

Wen Mao didn't know why at this time, but felt that he was in a trance for a moment, as if he stood up.

Holding the stone and lifting it: "Hurry up and get out of here!".

But after these people left, they immediately started to get scared. What if they really called that big sister over, she knew that there were indeed some gangs.

But what is gratifying is that the money was not robbed anyway, and she dared not speak out about it. She is not as bold and flexible as Sister Wen Chun, and if she speaks out, she will look even more useless.

As soon as Wen Mao went back, he found that the yard was full of grain, which must have cost seven or eight hundred catties, at least.

Wen Rong patted Wen Mao on the shoulder: "It's more than 1000 catties. Our good sister bought it. From now on, we will work hard with her good sister. No matter what happens, we won't be hungry."

Looking at the pile of grain, the whole family felt extremely relieved. In their eyes, even gold, silver and jewelry were not as secure as grain.

Wen Hao looked at Wen Mao's messy clothes and asked concerned: "What's wrong? The clothes are all torn."

Wen Mao's eyes dodged a little: "It's okay, I accidentally scratched it."

Wen Hao didn't continue to ask any more questions, Wen Mao's errands were done well, and she didn't talk about other people's private affairs, so naturally she didn't need to ask more.

Wen Fugui and Mrs. Zhao looked at the piles of food at home, and they were not so angry anymore. Anyway, raising a family is now a young girl's job. They want to open more, as long as the two old things don't starve to death, they can do whatever they want.

The whole family moved the food into the cellar inside the main house.

Wen Hao knew that now his parents were always angry and behaved: "Dad and mother, the cellar is in your room, but you are the ones to guard it."

Everyone was moving grain to the cellar, and Fufu also came to help, but Wen Hao grabbed his neck all of a sudden: "You are not allowed to carry heavy things, you go to tidy up the cow's shed and feed some grass."

If it wasn't for the fear that Fufu would not work, and the family would have opinions, she wouldn't even let him get out of bed, but even so, Zhao and Wen Fugui still couldn't get used to Fufu.

That is to say, my daughter is still picky about men, short-sighted and ignorant. This year, Fufu really offered herself up, but with a warm attitude here, it's not easy for them to say anything publicly if they are not in charge.
